"What are you doing?!" A cold voice suddenly was heard behind her.
Hearing this sound, Chu Yexuan, who was already crazy, turned stiff and could hardly hold the gun in her hand.
The desperate Xia Youyou took advantage of Chu Yexuan's distraction, and struggling to slam into Chu Yexuan.
Without realizing it, Chu Yexuan was actually knocked to the ground by Xia Youyou, and the gun in her hand fell out. She didn't care, just stared blankly, looking back at the person who shouldn't be here.
She wanted to say hello to Miao Anyun as usual, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, the scarlet blood remaining on her nails made her pale, and she almost hid her hands behind her hastily.
They saw her.
She was seen by Brother Anyun
Miao Anyun approached quickly, and he kicked away the gun that fell on the ground, making Chu Yexuan completely lost the opportunity to pick it up again. Then gently tore off the adhesive tape on Xia Youyou's mouth and untied the rope that tied her.
Xia Youyou, who still couldn't react, stared at his face blankly, not the least responsive when Chu Yexuan had just smashed away.
It wasn't until Miao Anyun stretched her hand that Xia Youyou seemed to react. She threw herself into Miao Anyun's arms and burst into tears.
This girl who didn't shed even a single tear even when faced with the threat of death was crying like a child in Miao Anyun's arms.
Miao Anyun subconsciously caught Xia Youyou who was rushing over, and his body stiffened. He looked at Xia Youyou who was crying, hesitantly stretched out his hand and patted her back lightly.
Lin Haoyan, who have been here since long ago, leaned at the door with his arms around his chest, and looked at the embracing two with a helpless smile.
Seeing you cry so miserably, I will lend you my wife for a while.
{I can't help but laugh at his thoughts}
Miao Anyun took Xia Youyou, who finally stop crying, and walked towards the door. He didn't even look at Chu Yexuan again. Didn't mention the punishment to Chu Yexuan, it was probably his last show of leniency for this old friend¹, right?
Chu Yexuan, who was paralyzed on the ground, looked at the back of the two of them walking together, her pupils dilated and almost collapsed.
The two seem to match each other so well. Will they live a happy life like a princess and a prince from the fairy tales?
And her? Will she be the dirtiest and darkest part in Brother Anyun's memory? Feeling hatred and nausea whenever he think of her? Or will she be forgotten forever?
How could she allow that?!
Chu Yexuan suddenly laughed bitterly. She took out a small handgun and pointed it at Miao Anyun who was haven't yet realized the situation, and fired the gun with tears.
'Sorry, brother Anyun, this is the last way Ye Xuan can think of to keep you with me forever'.
A trace of red blood flowed down the corner of her mouth, Chu Yexuan's eyes were dim, and there was almost no sound. Chu Yexuan committed suicide, and even a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
Lin Haoyan, who was facing Chu Yexuan, almost stopped his heartbeat when he saw Chu Yexuan pull out the gun at Miao Anyun. At this moment, his body was faster than his mind, and he was already in front of Miao Anyun before he could react.
"Xiao Yun, look out!"
"Bang!" The gunfire sounded, and a man fell softly. Unfortunately, it was not the person Chu Yexuan wanted. It's a pity that Chu Yexuan, who had already lost her voice, could not say this.
Miao Anyun turned his head quickly, only to see a captivating blood blooming like a flower on Lin Haoyan's chest as he was falling down.
"Xiao Yun, cough, cough, cough" The pale Lin Haoyan clutched Miao Anyun tightly and tried his best to say something. He struggled unwillingly, "Xiao Yun, you take good care......." of yourself for me and I love you².
Before he finished speaking, he lost his strength, and he gripped Miao Anyun's hand tightly, and fainted.
Miao Anyun's brain was blank, and he didn't even know how he took Lin Haoyan to the hospital after that.
When he recovered, he was already sitting at the door of the emergency room of the hospital, accompanied by Xia Youyou, who looked disheveled.
How could he stand in front of him without hesitation? Miao Anyun couldn't understand it.
The lights in the Emergency room went out
Miao Anyun stood up thoughtlessly and greeted the doctor.
These doctors wearing masks shook their heads in silence. Lin Haoyan, who was pushed into the ER a few hours ago, was pushed out again, but his whole body was covered by a white cloth.
Even the best doctor can't save him?
Miao Anyun only felt that there was a sudden void in his heart. He leaned against the white wall with his eyes devoid of emotions, looking almost unsteady. A familiar feeling flooded into his heart, just like when his mother had felt when he left him more than ten years ago.
Miao Anyun seems to be unable to accept the fact that his friend has died, and sometimes he even feels that Lin Haoyan is still with him.
Within a few months, Miao Anjun became thin and pale. Xia Youyou felt extremely distressed when he looked at him like this, and kept persuading him to accept reality. His cousin Yu Caishan also persuaded him. Even the schoolmates were persuading him.
But Miao Anyun neither nodded nor shook his head, he was more silent and colder than before. He stopped communicating with people until one day--
Xia Youyou was pleasantly surprised to find that he seemed to finally come out of the shadow of his friend dying for him, he smiled and greeted her.
"Youyou ."
――――――――
Xia Youyou sat in the cafe, looking at the delicate clocks on the wall with some sweetness. It has been a long time since that incident, and it seemed that both her and Miao Anyun had forgotten it. She and Miao Anyun are getting closer and closer, and Miao Anyun seems to have a good impression of her and take good care of her.
She looked towards the door for a long time, and finally saw a tall figure.
"Miao Anyun, here!" She waved at him.
As soon as Miao Anyun sat down, she spoke in a gentle tone: "What can I do for you Youyou?"
"It's a very important thing" Xia Youyou smiled shyly.
"Just say it, I still have something to do in a while." Miao Angun glanced at the watch, urging Xia Youyou.
"I really can't stand you, this piece of wood!" Xia Youyou glared at him angrily, "Are you not going to confirm the relationship with me?"
"Huh?" Miao Anyun, who looked at his documents, raised his head, his tone a little confused, "Youyou, what did you just say?"
It turned out that Xia Youyou's voice was too quiet just now, and Miao Anyun, who was concentrating on the documents, did not hear clearly.
"I said, do you want to be my boyfriend?" Xia Youyou rolled her eyes, she was annoyed by him and her shyness and embarrassment all disappeared.
"Ok." Miao Anyun nodded without hesitation.
[The task is complete, host please choose- stay or leave 0237 sounded in his ears.]
Miao Anyun glanced at Xia Youyou, who was smiling like a blooming flower, then closed his eyes and chose to leave.
In the next second, he appeared in the system space.
[Mission completed. As the settlement² ... First task is completed, and you will be rewarded with 1000 point. The second task is completed and you will be rewarded with 5000 points. After deducting the 500 points used to exchanged for "Huang Liang Yi Meng", remaining points is 5500.]
"0237, what will happen after I leave?" The reward for completing the task is very generous, but Miao Anyun's doesn't pay any heed to it.
[Ding! The world will follow in the general direction left by the host.]
"Really." Miao Anyun closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa that appeared out of nowhere.
During the mission, Miao Anyun was very depressed because of Lin Haoyan's death caused by him. If it hadn't been for the advancement of points to exchange for the so-called "Huang Liang Yi Meng", he would probably not be able to complete the mission in this world.
"Huangliang Yimeng" is a kind of wine, a system exclusive wine. After drinking it, all the emotions generated during the mission in the mission world will be like a dream, and the dream will wake up without a trace. This wine is very popular among actors, but it requires a lot of points.
Even though there are still those memories, there is no more feeling back then. Miao Anyun drank a glass of Huangliang Wine, which eliminated all feelings for Lin Haoyan. There is just a trace of obsession.
After Lin Haoyan asked him to take care of Xia Youyou before he died (not!), Miao Anyun now really eliminated the impact of the mission world.
But is it really eliminated?
[The host completes a world mission and has a three-day rest period according to regulations. Please choose- rest or continue the mission.]
"Continue the mission." For some reason, there seemed to be a voice in Miao Anjun's heart urging him to enter the next mission world quickly.
[ Ding! The host chooses to continue the mission, about to enter the world The domineering President's little wife , countdown five, four, three, two, one, and enter the world The domineering President's little wife . ]
――――――――
In a space similar to the system space where Miao Anyun is located, a man leaned on the sofa and sipped a glass of red wine and looked at the scene in front of him. The scene played was the scene of Miao Anyun leaving the system space for the next mission. The man stood up, showing a familiar yet unfamiliar face.
The man was exactly the same as Lin Haoyan, but he was more mature, probably in his twenties.
Seeing the boy disappear into the system space, the man showed a pleasant smile and disappeared.

1. Original text : 小妹妹
Literal translation is Little Sister, it is used as an endearment, basically they're saying Chu Yexuan used to be their little sister. Idk but that a bit weird in the translation so I change it to old friend.
2. Original text : "小筠,替我好好照顾好......"自己,还有,我爱你
Mtl : "Xiaojun, take good care of me..." himself, and, I love you.
I don't know how I was supposed to put this in words that's vague but still have sense and is easy to misunderstood.
If I use the Chinese construction of sentence it'll be "Xiao Yun, take good care for me... " of yourself and I love you.
But the construction of sentence is different in English and this sound off.
"Xiao Yun take good care of yourself for me and I love you"
