Shen Anran was stunned for a moment, then slowly looked up, a glint of disbelief flashing in his eyes.

Her lips were slightly parted, but no sound came out. Only her slightly trembling body revealed her inner emotions.

Zhou Jingyan extended his hand to her, his voice gentle and apologetic: "I'm sorry, I scared you, it was a misunderstanding."

Shen Anran's hand unconsciously stretched forward, wanting to shake his, but she pulled it back in an instant.

She stood up quickly, her voice trembling slightly. "I'm sorry, I barged in first. I didn't see anything, and I won't tell anyone. Can I leave?"

On the surface, Shen Anran's reaction seemed to be due to fear from seeing something he shouldn't have seen.

But if you look closely, you can see a deeper panic.

"Do you need to be taken to the hospital?"

Zhou Jingyan's voice was full of concern, as if he mistakenly thought that she was unwell because of being frightened.

Shen Anran refused without a second thought: "No, I'm fine."

At an angle where no one noticed, her other hand was clenched tightly.

Her nails dug deep into her palms and blood dripped onto the ground, but she didn't feel the pain at all.

A complex emotion flashed in Zhou Jingyan's eyes. Without saying anything more, he quickly took off his suit jacket and draped it over Shen Anran's shoulders.

Suddenly, Shen Anran felt the remaining body temperature on the suit jacket, which was a warm and familiar breath.

"No, I probably can't afford it." She whispered.

"It's okay, it's just a piece of clothing."

"Thank you."

Now, they are no longer from the same world, and this must be the last time they meet.

Shen Anran took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in her eyes, and said calmly, "Can I leave now?"

"Please."

Zhou Jingyan's gaze followed Shen Anran's back gradually away, until she disappeared from his sight, then he slowly withdrew his gaze.

He turned around and faced the approaching man, his eyes returning to their usual indifference.

"Someone you know?" the man asked curiously.

"I don't know him." There was no hesitation or concealment in Zhou Jing's tone.

The other party was obviously dissatisfied with this answer and raised his eyebrows slightly, "When did our Master Zhou become so helpful? This is not like your style."

Zhou Jingyan glanced at him coldly, with a hint of warning in his eyes.

The man's playful expression froze instantly, and he quickly coughed softly to try to ease the embarrassment.

"Let's not talk about this." He changed the subject and brought the topic back to the main business. "How are you going to deal with this person?"

Zhou Jingyan's brows were furrowed, and his expression revealed an irritation that was difficult to conceal.

"It's up to you." After saying that, he turned and left.

The man behind him sneered, with a hint of teasing in his laughter.

He leaned over and said to the man lying on the ground, breathing more out than in, "You're lucky to have met our Master Zhou when he's in a good mood."

As soon as Shen Anran walked out of everyone's sight, he immediately quickened his pace and almost started running.

Finally, she hid in a dark stairwell, leaned her back against the cold wall, and gasped for breath.

"Master, Master, I just felt your strong emotional fluctuations. Did you find your obsession?"

The sound of Mantou suddenly rang out in the stairwell, with a hint of joy.

The next second, a glowing cat appeared beside Shen Anran, and the dark stairwell suddenly lit up.

It was originally going to check on Liu Shuming, but as soon as it arrived at his school, it sensed something was wrong with Shen Anran and rushed over quickly.

Shen Anran looked at Mantou with a serious look.

"I finally understand what obsession is." She said softly, her tone containing both relief and a subtle bitterness.

"Then let's go and remove it quickly." Mantou suggested expectantly.

However, Shen Anran did not show the happy expression it wished.

"Forget it." She whispered, her tone revealing an unspeakable bitterness.

She gently stroked the coat she was wearing, her eyes full of nostalgia.

She added: "I'd better wait for this body to die naturally."

Mantou then noticed that Shen Anran was in a bad mood and asked cautiously, "Is this someone you knew before?"

Shen Anran chuckled, "It doesn't matter whether we know each other or not. We won't meet again in the future."

Mantou looked confused and obviously couldn't understand what Shen Anran meant.

For Mantou, the word "obsession" means an emotion that cannot be let go and the strongest desire deep in his heart.

And now, she has clearly found the source, why doesn't she choose to untie the knot and go back earlier?

"Master, haven't you always wanted to go home?" Mantou couldn't help but ask.

Shen Anran fell into deep thought.

After a moment, she whispered, "Even after death, we can still return to our original world."

Upon hearing this, Mantou immediately retorted: "Master, I think it is more important to untie the knot in your heart than to wait for death. Even if you go back, you will feel uncomfortable when you think about these things."

"I won't feel bad because I don't have a heart, but the fact that you care so much makes me feel like you have bad intentions."

Mantou quickly waved his hands and said innocently, "How is that possible? We are good partners."

Seeing that Shen Anran was still staring at him with those cold eyes, Mantou finally couldn't stand the pressure and sighed.

It slowly revealed the truth: "To be honest, when I heard that you couldn't leave this world because of your obsession, I started thinking of a way and planned this."

"I discovered that simply dying physically might not necessarily lead to a complete extinction. It might also cause the world to restart, repeating the cycle. So I think this is the only way that works."

Shen Anran's eyes softened when she heard that, and she gently patted Mantou's head.

"Thank you, but I don't intend to follow your path."

Mantou said aggrievedly, "Is there really no room for negotiation?"

"Except for this matter, I can consider other things."

"But this is the only feasible solution I can think of."

It can't contact the main system now, otherwise it could ask what to do when encountering such a bad host.

Shen Anran lifted up her sleeves, and there were more red spots on them. She took two steps back.

His tone returned to its cold tone: "Then you should use your brain more, that's how you become smart."

"Do you mean to say that I'm stupid?"

Mantou’s little head was filled with great confusion and a thousand dissatisfactions.

It is obviously the smartest system, how can you say it is stupid!

Shen Anran's eyes showed a hint of disgust. "It's not really stupid, it's very stupid."

"So who is that person?"

"Prefer not to say."

Steamed bun:"……"

Shen Anran's thoughts drifted to a long time ago, when they were childhood sweethearts.
