"Hey, don't jump!"

Yun Yao saw that the person on the bridge had half a leg dangling in the air, so she quickly went over and pulled him up.

The young man looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old. His profile was sharp and revealed a cold and aloof demeanor, with a deep melancholy in his eyes.

He brushed Yun Yao's hand away, looked her up and down, and said coldly, "Can you see ghosts in broad daylight?"

ghost?

Yun Yao glanced at herself and realized that she was still wearing the nightgown she had worn in the system space...

Moreover, her feet were floating off the ground!

It's definitely a bug caused by the system kicking her directly into the mission world!

Forget about that for now, let's deal with this dog system later.

"Anyway, just don't die yet." Yun Yao seriously tried to fool him. "Look, if you die, you'll end up like me, just drifting around all day."

Xu Tingran looked listless. "It doesn't matter. Life is just like this anyway, so I might as well drift around. Besides, at least if I become a ghost, I won't have to eat, right?"

"You can't even afford to eat anymore?" Yun Yao looked at his dejected state, his clothes were all faded from washing.

"..." Xu Tingran noticed her scrutinizing gaze and felt a little embarrassed. "This is the style of my dress. It's not faded from washing."

Tsk, why did he tell her so much?

Xu Tingran's expression hardened. "Don't bother me. Go back to where you came from!"

"No."

Yun Yao held him tightly, preventing him from jumping.

People on the roadside noticed a young man trying to jump into the river and quickly came over to pull him back.

Now, there's no need for Yun Yao to persuade him; plenty of people are holding Xu Tingran back, preventing him from committing suicide.

"Young man, you're so young, in the prime of your life, why are you jumping into the river?"

“We old folks are still as spry as we can be and want to enjoy a few more years of leisure. You, a strong and healthy young man, should do something you like.”

"How about I introduce you to someone, young man? You look strong, tall, and handsome."

Xu Tingran rubbed his temples helplessly and glanced sideways at Yun Yao.

He then said, "The person I loved died, and I will remain chaste for her and not look for another partner."

"Oh, that's really..." lamenting the impermanence of life and death.

"However, the dead cannot be brought back to life, so those who are alive should live well."

"We can't let those still alive grieve for you."

Xu Tingran parted her thin lips slightly, "Yes, I don't want to die now. Thank you, aunties. I'm going home now."

"Oh, okay, my home is nearby too," an older woman pointed to her place, "Come over for dinner sometime, okay?"

Xu Tingran nodded casually, "Mm."

Having finally gotten rid of these older women, Xu Tingran really had no intention of dying.

Let's find another way to die tomorrow.

only……

"Why are you still following me?"

Xu Tingran glanced back at the person who had been floating behind him...

Yun Yao hesitated before speaking, "Would you believe me if I said I was drawn here by you?"

"What do you say?"

"I'm serious!" Yun Yao grabbed a passerby and bumped into him, but unlike being able to physically touch him... she passed right through his body.

"Look, I can only touch you!"

Xu Tingran pondered the reason. "Could it be because my lifespan is coming to an end?"

"Impossible." Since she's here on a mission, he must be the protagonist of a novel; how could he possibly die?

Xu Tingran frowned slightly and looked at her hesitantly, "So certain?"

"I'm a ghost, of course I know!"

"You wouldn't be pretending like this on purpose to absorb my yang energy, would you?"

"...Then I won't rely on you so much."

"Whatever," he said. He was too lazy to live anyway, so whether he smoked or not was up to him.

"By the way, is the person you like really dead?"

"Fake!" Xu Tingran glanced at her with disdain. He hadn't even settled accounts with her yet, but she was so persistent that she had caused him to be bothered by passersby again.

"..." Yun Yao received his gaze and moved an inch to the side.

I followed him all the way home...

A dilapidated tenement building.

It's still on the top floor.

The room contained only a single bed and a wooden table with peeling paint.

There was also a small old television and a very old-looking fan...

When the fan head spins, it makes a constant clicking sound.

In such quiet conditions, the noise is noticeably abrupt.

There was no wardrobe, only a shelf that served as both a clothes rack and a clothes hanger.

As for the kitchen, it was completely empty.

What are you going to eat later?

Xu Tingran lay on the single bed, a piece of clothing covering her face, her voice cold and muffled, "No money, I won't eat."

"..."

Seeing that he intended to go to sleep and didn't pay any attention to her, Yun Yao asked the system to send her the background story of this world.

This world is a bit special.

It was a female supporting character from this dimension who commissioned us.

She received a chance encounter with the kind help of Xie Tingran, the second male lead, and awakened to the fact that she was just a villainous female supporting character serving the story.

She has no intention of detaching herself from the story.

But she wanted to change the second male lead's fate, at least to prevent him from dying prematurely from illness and pain.

She hoped to let Xie Tingran, the second male lead, know that there are many beautiful things in this world, and that he would not die at the age of twenty-seven due to physical illness and emotional distress.

In exchange, she will voluntarily have her consciousness extracted and become a background NPC serving the storyline.

But because she has her own storyline.

Therefore, the host can only stay by the second male lead's side in the form of a soul to help him.

However, because the protagonist possesses energy, the mission taker, even in spirit form, can still directly touch the protagonist.

Why did Xie Tingran end up like that?

The second male lead has just finished his college entrance exams.

His parents made a bad investment, lost everything, and ended up with a mountain of debt.

They had no choice but to jump off a building and commit suicide.

Although there is no inheritance, there is no obligation to assume the debts of the parents.

However, he is now penniless.

He could only afford to rent his current house with the small amount of cash he had kept at home.

As a result, after renting the place, the little money left was swindled away by a relative.

Feeling that life was meaningless, he decided to jump into the river and commit suicide.

Although he was saved by a passerby, he didn't die afterwards.

But because he had no money, having always been a rich kid, he had no work experience and was exploited by a heartless boss. After only a few days, the boss said he wasn't doing a good job, refused to pay his wages, and told him to get out.

If you go hungry for two meals in three days, you'll get stomach problems.

I barely managed to get into university with the help of student loans.

The radiant female lead appears, offering warmth and redemption to the second male lead.

After the second male lead falls for the female lead.

The female lead and the male lead engage in a chase, a plot where they can't escape each other, and she occasionally pulls him out for a stroll.

Later, the female lead finally said that she had let go of the male lead and was going to marry the second male lead who had just succeeded in starting his own business.

She then abandoned him at the wedding and eloped with the male protagonist.

I already had a stomach problem, and during the startup phase, I was busy with little sleep and irregular meals.

Furthermore, due to heartbreak, he drank heavily every day, to the point of stomach bleeding, which caused his immune system to drop rapidly.

My stomach ached so much that I couldn't sleep all night.

Later, he was helped to the hospital by his business partner.

However, it was discovered at this point that it was late-stage stomach cancer.

[Oh, right, host, in the last world, although you didn't finish your part of the story, you didn't lose points because it was the second male lead's problem.]

[Oh], Yun Yao doesn't have memories of the previous world, but that's fine as long as she doesn't lose points.

The system was just glad that its host had managed to keep the villain in check; it was only a hair's breadth away from maxing out its corruption level...
