I'm terminally ill, and all they give me is a matchmaking system?

Night falls.

The medical staff who should have gone home after get off work gathered around the perimeter, while Xu's father's fellow patients in the same department changed into presentable clothes and sat in the guest section below.

Xu Mengyun wore a simple, fitted tulle dress, and her makeup highlighted her delicate and lovely features.

Her eyes were slightly red.

Her mother and father were by her side.

Xu's mother pushed Xu's father, who was sitting in a wheelchair and trying to keep smiling, as they walked forward together with Xu Mengyun.

Standing at the finish line, Lin Tian turned his head to look at us with a warm smile on his face.

The melodious wedding march filled the air, a truly delightful sound.

After Xu's father brought Xu Mengyun to Lin Tian's side, he took her hand, and before the priest, they swore their vows, saying "I do," and prepared to offer that most important kiss—

Suddenly, I heard sobbing in my ear.

Xu Mengyun's heart skipped a beat, and she instantly turned her head to look.

Then I saw Mr. Xu, draped in a gray blanket, sitting in a wheelchair, his eyes closed and head tilted to the side, lifelessly 'sleeping' in the chair.

For Xu Mengyun, this was a fact that was simply unacceptable.

She shuddered.

Lin Tian then released his hand, and Xu Mengyun stumbled and ran toward her father.

Xu's father left this world with a smile on his face.

Looking at the happy scene before him, Lin Tian no longer regretted having his two years of lifespan taken back!

The people around couldn't help but wipe away the tears welling up in their eyes.

Xu Mengyun snuggled into her father's arms, feeling the last bit of warmth.

"Dad, don't worry, I will live a good life, take good care of Mom, and take good care of myself. In our next life, we want to be father and daughter again!"

Half an hour later, Lin Tian, ​​dressed in a suit, stood by the roadside near the hospital.

The staff were packing up their tools in the garden and loading them into the car.

The person in charge walked up to Lin Tian and gave him a thumbs up: "In any case, Mr. Lin, your kind heart is truly accumulating good karma for yourself, it's wonderful!"

"We will apply to headquarters for a 8% discount on this fee, as a way of fulfilling your kind intentions."

Lin Tian smiled and thanked him, "Thank you."

The person in charge nodded and left.

The medical staff, their eyes red with tears, approached and praised Lin Tian before leaving.

Lin Tian stood in the aisle, watching them busy at work, and the stinging pain in his chest intensified.

He tried hard to ignore the system notification sounds, but the next second a heart-wrenching sentence pierced his eardrums—

[Host, please sever all ties with Xu Mengyun immediately! The punishment for disobeying will be revoked.]

Otherwise, even if the host regrets it, it will be too late.

[Punishment 1: Due to the host's disobedience, 2 days will be deducted from the remaining lifespan each day]

[Punishment 2: Participate in a blind date in ten days. If you refuse, the deduction period will be increased by 1 day.]

Lin Tian's heart skipped a beat.

This system is so heartless!

He did do something incredibly good, didn't he?

How can you deduct it through punishment? What about the lifespan points he earned through his hard work?

It has been more than 300 days now.

But if he deducts from these ten days, then it becomes twenty days.

Starting in ten days, they only have a little over a hundred days to live.

So, he can't even get a break?

Lin Tian felt a headache coming on.

Just then, a choked voice called out from behind: "Lin Tian!"

The girl's voice came from afar, gradually drawing closer.

Lin Tian's thoughts were instantly brought back to normal, and with a smile, he turned his head to look over.

"You've arrived? How is he? How is Mr. Xu..."

Xu Mengyun smiled and accepted it calmly: "They have already taken my father to the morgue. In any case! I am very grateful to you today. If it weren't for you, my father would not have left this world with a smile... By the way! How much did you spend? Give me a bill later and I will transfer it to you."

"No need, let me do my part. We're friends, after all, aren't we?"

Lin Tian declined.

"Nobody's money grows on trees! Just tell me exactly how much it costs. This banquet must have cost a lot of money. Lin Tian! Thank you for letting my old man leave this world in peace. His biggest worry before he died was that Mengyun wouldn't be able to find someone she liked."

The one speaking was Xu's mother.

Xu's mother's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her voice betrayed her exhaustion.

Xu Mengyun turned her head in shock, but when she met her mother's eyes, she didn't know how to speak.

Her mother taught her not to lie, but now she has lied about such a crucial matter. Her mother must be very angry.

Seeing this, Lin Tian took the initiative to speak, easing the tension between the two.

“Auntie! This money is nothing to me, so you really don’t need to pay. But there are some things I’d like to tell you about Mengyun, and I hope you’ll keep them in mind.”

Xu's mother nodded and said, "Go ahead."

"Mengyun is an independent and thoughtful woman. A couple of days ago, because her uncle was critically ill, Mengyun almost did something dangerous. I think that in this day and age, women don't necessarily have to let marriage imprison their souls. Perhaps living authentically is the most important thing!"

Xu's mother's expression suddenly became somewhat complicated.

I don't know if she's angry, or...

Xu Mengyun shook her head and winked, signaling Lin Tian to stop talking.

Lin Tian ignored them and continued to talk: "Of course! Don't think that I'm meddling. I also feel sorry about Uncle's situation. But I think Uncle still hopes to see Mengyun happy and joyful, rather than being bound by marriage."

Standing before her, Xu's mother suddenly revealed a relieved smile.

She nodded and smiled, "Anyway, I finally understand why my old man speaks so highly of you! Young man, I understand what you mean."

Turning her head, Xu's mother looked at Xu Mengyun with a serious expression.

Seeing her mother's worried expression, Xu's mother felt utterly helpless.

"I'm increasingly unable to understand your thoughts, you little girl! But today's incident was my fault. I shouldn't have pushed you too hard in the first place, almost forcing you to spend your life with someone you didn't love!"

"From today onwards, go live the life you want. Your mother will support you!"

Xu's mother didn't say anything more, and was then called away by the medical staff.

Xu Mengyun was deeply moved and turned to look at Lin Tian with gratitude in her eyes.

Lin Tian waved his hand: "Don't look at me like that. This happiness was meant for you. It's just that your mother didn't know how to make you happy, which almost led to a disaster!"

"From now on, we'll be friends. I still really hope you can be happy!"

Xu Mengyun nodded, then suddenly remembered something and casually took off the ring and handed it to Lin Tian.

"Here's the ring back. You can sell it or return it to the shop, whichever you prefer. Thank you so much for helping me today!"

"Then... I'll head back now?"

Lin Tian smiled and nodded, intending to watch Xu Mengyun leave.

But shortly after Xu Mengyun turned and left, Lin Tian was about to turn around and continue his investigation when a dull pain in his chest made him unable to bear it.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.
