"But I said back then that the past is like that red thread; once it's broken, it's broken."

Gu Yao's voice was icy, and his words pierced Qing Yan's heart like cold icicles, freezing his blood along with it.

It was cold and biting.

On the surface, Gu Yao appeared deep and composed, but in reality, he was struggling with whether or not to go down.

Looking down at people for so long is making my eyes tired.

Gu Yao sighed. Sure enough, it's not easy to fake a bad reputation.

Ci Jing was also happy, finally able to end this miserable experience with his mode of transportation, and quickly put Gu Yao down.

Seeing Qing Yan's deeply hurt expression, he laughed heartily, but his smile was full of malice. "Lord Qing Yan, are you still hung up on your ex-lover? But I don't like you anymore..."

At this point, Gu Yao's eyes showed a hint of melancholy, as if he had thought of something.

Looking at Gu Yao's downcast profile, Qing Yan felt that he was filled with loneliness and sadness.

A pang of pain shot through Qing Yan's heart. His entire attention was drawn to Gu Yao, and he unconsciously took two steps forward, wanting to comfort the little fox.

But then he remembered Gu Yao's current disgust for him, and he stopped in his tracks. Just a short distance away, he called out with heartache, "Xiao Bai."

Upon hearing this familiar address, Gu Yao abruptly looked up, his eyes darkening. He steeled himself and glared fiercely at Qing Yan, uttering words that were even more cutting.

"Lord Qingyan, Xiaobai died long ago. She died in your arms during the first snow in the capital. Have you forgotten?"

Every word, every sentence, is incisive and to the point.

Memories deliberately forgotten are revitalized and recolored: the first snow in the capital, the burning red candle, the last moments of tenderness, and... the cold body.

Every detail is something he can't forget.

Qing Yan's face turned pale, and he took two steps back. He was only able to stay upright because the little fairy boy helped him up.

The wounds on his body, which were not yet fully healed, reopened due to the extreme movement, leaving a large bloodstain on Qing Yan's white clothes.

Seeing Qing Yan stagger backward, Gu Yao instinctively reached out to grab him.

Seeing that the little fairy boy was helping Qing Yan, he pretended to be nonchalant and tucked his hand into his sleeve.

Pretend to be completely indifferent.

Want to cover up.

Qing Yan stared at Gu Yao, not missing a single movement, and naturally saw Gu Yao's subconscious protectiveness and the barely perceptible...heartache in his eyes.

This rekindled a glimmer of hope in Qing Yan's heart, which had been filled with despair.

Perhaps the little fox still likes him a little, doesn't he?

Upon realizing this possibility, Qing Yan's eyes lit up with intense joy, and he couldn't wait to grab Gu Yao and ask him for clarification.

But seeing Gu Yao's strong sense of defensiveness, he could only suppress the thought.

Gu Yao found the bloodstains seeping from Qing Yan's body particularly offensive.

The interplay of red and white always carries a touch of poignant beauty and awe.

Gu Yao frowned, turned his head away with difficulty, and stopped looking at Qing Yan, afraid that he would soften his heart.

In the end, he still couldn't bring himself to be cruel to him.

Gu Yao forced a smile and mocked, "Lord Qingyan, you're so delicate and frail. You should go back and take good care of yourself. Don't die in front of the Iwo Su gate and blame it on Iwo Su, adding to Iwo Su's bad luck!"

After saying that, he tossed over a bottle of healing medicine, waved his hand as if to shoo people away, and turned to enter the barrier.

"If you're going to die, die somewhere else. Don't bring trouble upon me."

Gu Yao's harsh words carried on the wind to Qing Yan's ears, but they did not discourage him in the slightest.

Clutching the red medicine bottle, he grinned, looking like the silly second son of a landlord.

The little fox has always been stubborn but soft-hearted; he says hurtful things, but it's all because he's worried about his own injuries.

Qingyan looked at that red figure, his eyes filled with hope.

There is still hope!

Qing Yan seemed to have thought of something, his eyes darkened, and he gripped the medicine bottle even tighter.

As long as the little fox doesn't know he's Lin Ji, he still has hope!

Qing Yan quickly analyzed the current situation and determined that Gu Yao had lost a part of his memory, the memory of having his demon core dug out.

Qing Yan put away the medicine bottle, took a deep breath, and looked at Gu Yao's back with a deep gaze.

We can only hope that the little fox hasn't remembered this for the time being.

He will definitely find a solution once and for all as soon as possible!

Only after Gu Yao's figure disappeared from sight did Qing Yan turn and leave.

Looking at Qing Yan's lonely figure, and then at the host with a solemn expression who showed no sign of heartache, 66 still asked its question.

"Host, why are you giving Qingyan the illusion that you still like him?"

Gu Yao turned his head, looked at 66 and smiled, his eyes burning with a madness that seemed to burn with everything, "Of course it's because I want him dead!"

Seeing Gu Yao's somewhat crazed appearance, 66 was frightened and took a step back, but did not lose her composure too much.

After all, Gu Yao has become increasingly unrestrained since arriving in this collapsing world.

You get used to it after being scared a few times...bullshit.

66 looked at Gu Yao's twisted and sinister smile, as if he were possessed by a ghost, and silently took two steps back.

He didn't want to die at the hands of his host before seeing Xiao Jiu one last time.

That was incredibly frustrating.

Gu Yao's madness only lasted a short while. Once he came to his senses, he turned to look at 66. The way 66 acted made Gu Yao look somewhat disgusted.

Has 66 been spending too much time with its stupid system and caught some of its stupidity?

He snorted coldly and turned to leave with an air of noble aloofness.

He didn't want to become stupid from spending too much time with the system.

Looking at Gu Yao's somewhat childish back, 66 sighed. How exactly does Xiao Jiu manage to handle such a host?

With Xiao Jiu's naive appearance, won't she be completely fooled by Gu Yao until she has nothing left?

66. A tiny head, a huge question.

The moment he turned around, Gu Yao's smile vanished, and his eyes became unfathomable.

Why give Qingyan hope?

Of course, we can't tell the system.

After all, he wasn't just targeting Qing Yan!

If things get out of hand, it could cause the world to collapse.

Can such a thing be known to a system whose mission is to maintain world order?

Of course not!

If you can still fool your own stupid system, then that's a different story...

Gu Yao sighed, and he really missed his stupid system.

Not much, just a little.

It's really just a tiny bit!

Having completed today's KPI, Gu Yao was in a great mood, planning to go back and listen to Little Magpie tell gossip about other races.

Most importantly, the TV series he's watching is releasing a new episode today.

Although it's a bit Mary Sue-ish and melodramatic, it's addictive.

Every time she needed to connect to the signal, 66 would look at her with a resentful gaze.

But so what?

Unethical people only care about their own happiness.

The system's sadness, what does that have to do with him?

But I can't eat it.

Being immoral for a moment is fun, being immoral all the time is fun.

Gu Yao hummed a cheerful tune as he walked towards his small courtyard.
