The all-round academic master's girlfriend

Tang Yuze listened quietly, and he could feel the weight that was conveyed across time.

Since it was his future self who developed the system and sent it to the present timeline, that means he experienced a timeline without the system, right?

Without a system, his future self endured the emotional abuse and bullying during his darkest period in middle school, rose again, and eventually even wrote the human genome formula...

"That's amazing!" Tang Yuze exclaimed sincerely.

Is this narcissism?

"Of course, I will marry Xiaoxi in the future."

When Tang Yuze mentioned this name in the future, his voice softened slightly, but was quickly drowned out by deeper pain.

"But I let her down. I dedicated most of my life to my career, leaving her alone in an empty room for too long."

"When I finally finished everything and wanted to go back and spend more time with her, I realized that we had missed out on so much."

"Her youth slipped away while she waited, and loneliness tinged her smile. I failed to give her the happiness she deserved, and I failed to keep my promise to 'come back as soon as possible' that I made when I was young. Our ending was still good, but the process was still too difficult, too difficult."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the sorrow and regret contained in his unfinished words surged through the radio waves like a tide, causing Tang Yuze to feel a pang of heartache.

Did he really pay such a terrible price for that ultimate answer? Did he lose the happiness of being with his beloved?

“I’m not resigned to this! I used some of the deep knowledge I gained from analyzing the genome, combined with some technologies that are beyond the comprehension of this era, and with all my might, I developed a system.”

"A system that can, to some extent, 'enhance' my past cognitive abilities, the speed of knowledge acquisition, and the depth of my thinking."

"And the system's ultimate task is to urge you to complete this formula."

The future Tang Yuze's voice became firm again, even carrying a kind of do-or-die determination.

"That's why I was able to..."

Tang Yuze instantly understood.

"Yes."

"The future Tang Yuze affirmed."

"That is not created out of thin air, but rather the potential you already possess, which would otherwise require a long time to discover, is activated and accelerated ahead of time."

"At the same time, in order to help you deal with those troubles and create a more suitable space for a stable life, I have also given you many abilities that can surpass human limits."

"That paper, that formula's framework, is a testament to your own abilities."

"I just removed some time-related obstacles for you, saving you decades of detours."

He paused, his tone apologetic.

"That vague phone call last year was my first attempt at cross-time information projection, but the technology was not stable at the time and I failed to successfully convey effective information."

That explains everything!

Why was Tang Yuze able to obtain a system just like the ones in online novels during his darkest time?

All of this was not purely accidental, but rather a shortcut paved for his future self at the cost of immense regret!

"I'm telling you this not so you can thank me."

The future Tang Yuze's voice became serious.

"I am reminding you, and I am also pleading with you."

His words carried an unprecedented solemnity.

"Tang Yuze, the path you are on now is what I paid for with a lifetime of regrets! You have a better starting point than I did back then, stronger support, and Xiaoxi who loves you more and is waiting for you!"

"Therefore, we must not repeat my mistakes. We must concentrate all our efforts as quickly as possible to complete the final analysis and application of the human genome formula!"

"Then, immediately drop everything and go back to Xiaoxi's side!"

"Go be with her, love her, and fulfill every promise you make to her! Give her a complete and happy life!"

"Don't let her endure the long wait and loneliness any longer! This is my only request from forty years later, filled with endless regret."

Hearing his other self on the other end of the phone say these words in an almost pleading tone, Tang Yuze felt as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping his heart.

He could clearly feel that deep, ocean-like regret and love that transcended the river of time.

He closed his eyes, and Xia Jinxi's bright and dependent smile appeared in his mind.

I remember the way she earnestly said "I'll wait for you no matter if it's ten or twenty years" in the hotel yesterday, and the promise we made by pinky swearing.

An unprecedented sense of determination and responsibility surged within him.

Tang Yuze gripped the receiver tightly, as if trying to convey his beliefs to that weathered future soul through the cold machine.

"I promise you!"

"I will use all my strength and wisdom to complete this research as quickly as possible!"

"Then, I will immediately return to Xiaoxi's side, not letting her wait a moment longer!"

"I promise you, in this lifetime, I will definitely give her happiness! I will give her a life without any regrets!"

A long silence followed on the other end of the phone. After a long while, a sigh of relief, tinged with a slight tremor, finally came through.

"well..."

"That puts me at ease."

The voice was filled with the relief of a long-cherished wish being fulfilled, and a faint sense of satisfaction.

"Take care, my past self."

"Goodbye."

"Beep...beep...beep..."

The busy signal went off, and the call ended.

Tang Yuze slowly put down the receiver and stood there for a long time without moving.

The shadows of the mountains outside the window cast interplay of light and shadow on his face through the gaps in the curtains.

He touched his chest, where the phone call from the future, and the weighty entrustment, had filled him with an even more fervent power and a clearer direction.

Tang Yuze's path was already predetermined.

Not only for the country, for humanity, but also, at this moment, to make up for a future regret, and to protect a love that transcends time.

He looked up, his gaze piercing through the wall, as if he could see the girl waiting for him in his warm home in the capital, outside the base.

"Xiao Xi, wait for me."

He meditated in his heart.

"This time, I won't keep you waiting."
