Chapter 265: The flat life, the memo, the end game.

Chi Xiaochi just gave a faint "hmm".

Instantly, he threw his packed book bag over his shoulder.

He said to his desk, "I'm not coming to school tomorrow."

The table was going to have detention tonight, so he could finish his homework before going home. While he was sketching in his exercise book against the homework for each subject left by the class rep on the blackboard, he squinted at Chi Xiaochi: "Oh, you're talking a lot of smack. Have you finally realized that modeling and selling your face is more promising than studying?"

Chi Xiaochi stepped down and smiled, "Not to mention, it's quite promising."

It's a long way to go, and I'm all alone.

The table felt vaguely wrong: "Are you serious? You're really not coming?"

Chi Xiaochi: "I'm not feeling well, take a day off."

The same table copied something from the table belly and threw it at Chi Xiaochi: "Fuck, you scared me to death."

I don't blame my classmates for misunderstanding. This morning, a girl in the next class announced she was dropping out because of her family's circumstances, and they'd been talking about it for a while.

Chi Xiaochi catches something thrown from her table, a big bag of shrimp sticks.

The same table said: "I ate yours before vacation. When I went to the kiosk today, I saw it, and bought a packet off of it, so I'll give it back to you. It's not hard to borrow again."

Chi Xiaochi gave him a flirty wink, "Thanks."

His classmate grabbed a pencil case and tried to hit him with it, and Chi Xiaochi also tried to dodge it, but he almost kicked over the water bucket of a student who was on duty.

Even though all the splash water basically landed on Chi Xiaochi's pant legs and shoes, the girl in charge of duty screamed, "...... Chi Xiaochi what are you doing!"

The table pinched his voice and screamed like a girl, "Chi Xiaochi, what are you doing!"

He managed to take the heat off Chi Xiaochi with this ruckus, and the girls flew over to pinch him.

Chi Xiaochi took the opportunity to pull away, standing in the doorway of the classroom and turning back to greet, "See you the day after tomorrow!"

The table was in the middle of a fire, and had no time to be distracted, but only reached out his hand to him in the middle of a busy day, not knowing whether it was a plea for help, or a sign of goodbye.

Chi Xiaochi left the classroom backwards.

He knew that the day after tomorrow, it wouldn't be him who came.

He was alone through the tide of people leaving school.

The homeroom teacher was wearing a white T, crooked on the railing, discussing with the physics teacher whether to go to the teachers' cafeteria in the evening or to the Lanzhou Ramen at the entrance, when he saw a student coming, he got serious for a second, patted his chalk-stained pants, and coughed lightly.

Chi Xiaochi greeted politely, "Hello teacher."

Class teacher: "Carry your backpack properly. It's so fluffy."

Chi Xiaochi ignored it and tightened the strap of her school bag, which was slung over her shoulder, a little tighter, "See you later, teacher."

Classroom teacher: "......" Ugh, okay.

Chi Xiaochi goes all the way down the escalator.

Sweat-smelling boys with basketballs in their clutches took three steps past him, and he was greeted and asked if he wanted a game, all of which he declined.

Greetings from new friends and admiring glances from middle school girls greeted us.

At an age when they don't know what love is, they start to imitate the bridge in TV dramas, writing love letters one by one, not necessarily sending them out, mostly writing and drawing on the table with a water pen, XXX likes XX, expecting that the one in their heart, someday, will come back and look at her.

Those words of love are not so much written to the "love" person, but to the youth.

Chi Xiaochi felt with all his heart this tender and simple "love" without too much utilitarianism, something that he had left behind and had never seriously savored.

...... It was only unusual at the time.

The smell of chili peppers from the fried tofu skewers filled the campus entrance, and Chi Xiaochi ordered a skewer, sitting on a small bench and stretching her legs as she watched the crowds of people walking out of the campus gradually thin out.

The chili at this stall was as strong enough as he remembered, and he inhaled so hot that his lips were crimson from it.

After taking a gulp of water, he braced his arms on his knees and stared at the school's hot-stamped sign without saying a word.

Lou Ying could see the undisguised love in his eyes, and his tone couldn't hide his heartache, "Are you sure you won't stay longer?"

To Lou Ying, Chi Xiaochi was answering the question, "...... no more."

Only Chi Xiaochi knows that he is really out of time.

As early as Ji Zuoshan risked his life to bring out the message about the "innate system" from the main god's space, Chi Xiaochi automatically set up a countdown clock in his heart.

When Zhu Shoucheng went to jail a week ago, as he thought he would, he was actually ready to go.

At that point, 089 had 72 missions left.

So Chi Xiaochi set aside a week for herself to get caught up and accomplish what she needed to do.

Chi Xiaochi threw the skewers of tofu into the trash, wiped her hands, and pulled out her cell phone again...

During this time, Chi Xiaochi was always playing with his cell phone. Lou Ying accidentally scanned the interface and saw that it was a text messaging page, so it must be that he was chatting with a friend by text messaging.

Lou Ying, as a person, would not interfere with Chi Xiaochi's normal friendships, let alone pry into his privacy.

Lou Ying subconsciously turned his face away from his cell phone as usual.

After editing one entry, Chi Xiaochi put her phone in her pocket, "Let's go, go home."

Lou Ying knew that in recent days, Chi Xiaochi, in addition to paying extra attention in class, would always stare for long periods of time when he was not busy, as if he had something on his mind.

Such symptoms seem to have started since Zhu Shoucheng's imprisonment.

Lou Ying was busy exchanging cards for him so that Zhu Shoucheng's remorse value wouldn't overflow, while wondering why.

However, if Chi Xiaochi didn't say anything, Lou Ying wouldn't ask.

He respects Chi Xiaochi for what he is and is willing to let Chi Xiaochi have his own piece of the world.

Chi Xiaochi came home, made herself a meal, ate it all by herself against the wall calendar, went downstairs to feed the dog meat, did her homework, washed up, and went to bed.

Natural as every day he had spent before.

It's as if he will stay forever in this ordinary, earthly world.

Lou Ying's aunt's husband is busy with a new baby in the family, while Lou Ying's sister-in-law has quit her job and is resting at home.

She is not well and needs to recuperate, but fortunately, tonight Chi Xiaochi's parents are visiting relatives in the next city, so Lou Ying can rest and stay overnight at Chi's house.

Shortly after taking a break, Chi Xiaochi pulls out her cell phone again and types in the darkness.

Lou Ying doesn't know who else he's talking to right now.

To be honest, he had a bad taste in his mouth.

Given Zhu Shoucheng's age, mental and physical condition, as well as the natural discrimination and spontaneous "hospitality" of American prisons toward pedophiles, he probably won't last long in prison, and there's no need to worry too much that he'll still have the strength to seek revenge on Chi Xiaochi, who's in his prime, after he completes his years of incarceration in a cell.

For Chi Xiaochi, the last mission was a success, but for him it was the beginning of another story.

Chi Xiaochi would naturally ask the Lord God to return to his world and be his Chi Xiaochi again.

But Lou Ying couldn't be with him.

Though she knew it would be despicable, Lou Ying had a small, selfish desire to spend more time with Chi Xiaochi in his last world.

Around 089 and they are from the same world line, one day earlier, one day later, will always be reunited in the original world line, have to rush in this moment, go back to send him?

Most of Lou Ying's fragmented memories of the past are occupied by Chi Xiaochi.

The full memory of sending the host away is only twice.

--Take the host back to the main god's space and send him to "In a flash", after that, we will never see each other again.

Lou Ying can only judge which world the host has traveled to based on the information registered afterwards.

Just send Chi Xiaochi in, and it's years and years of "not seeing each other".

But Chi Xiaochi doesn't seem to take the parting very seriously, and Lou Ying has to be considerate enough to make light of the upcoming parting.

As for the stirring in his heart, he dared not even let Chi Xiaochi guess.

Seeing that he was still playing with his cell phone, Lou Ying couldn't maintain his gentlemanly demeanor and asked, as if he didn't mean to, "Who are you talking to?"

Chi Xiaochi replied without looking back, "Chi Xiaochi."

Lou Ying was stunned.

He asked Chi Xiaochi's advice: "Can I see it?"

Chi Xiaochi didn't say anything, only moved into Lou Ying's arms, and a section of hot skin lightly pressed against Lou Ying's small arm, passing through a static electricity that wasn't very noticeable.

Lou Ying rolled over, closing his arm lightly around Chi Xiaochi's waist, and looked to his cell phone screen.

With just one glance, Lou Ying understood.

The old cell phones at ...... didn't have a "memo" function, so Chi Xiaochi took advantage of the "deposit box" in the SMS function.

This is the truth about the so-called "SMS".

In Chi Xiaochi's deposit box, there are more than a hundred text messages in total.

"The subject of the college entrance examination essay was on the theme of "The Future". I was not able to take the entrance examination that year, so I only had time to read the news reports and the disclosed zero-score essays for fun."

"There's a math teacher in the first high school who likes to take gifts from students, and is perverted and fucked up, so for your own good, I suggest passing the 570 on the midterm and getting into the A-student class."

"There is a small group of bullies in the first high school, but they are all soft, as long as the manipulation of the brick to hit back, they immediately goat, not to serve on the horse dry."

"XXXX years, go to the hospital diligently, appendix can be removed early as early as possible, once dragged into chronic appendicitis, pro-tested to death."

"Summer of XXXX, don't travel to the south, there are typhoons and you'll get mold."

The first "memo" was written on Chi Xiaochi's first day in this world to help Chi Xiaochi, a teenager in this world, cheat.

Lou Ying thought that he had underestimated Chi Xiaochi after all.

Throughout, the word "indulgence" did not fit Chi Xiaochi.

...... From the first day he came in, he was planning what he would do after he left.

After the loss of Lou Ying, Chi Xiaochi's life is as beautiful as it is lonely.

He used the free time he had to torture Zhu Shoucheng to record them by heart, little by little.

And realizing he was about to leave, Chi Xiaochi picked up the pace.

On this day, he has finally explained pretty much what he wanted to explain.

What Lou Ying didn't expect was Chi Xiaochi's next words.

He said, "Actually, I don't want to leave, but I'm looking forward to it."

"This is the most exhausting scene I've ever acted in my entire life." Chi Xiaochi shushes out a breath and comments on her performance these past few months, "I know what I used to be like, but ...... I can't act myself at all."

Lou Ying, while slightly moved, gently reassured him, "You're doing fine. I don't see any difference, and I'm sure no one else does either."

Chi Xiaochi only smiled and shook his head.

Others may not be able to, but as an actor, he can feel it himself.

It's not the same, after all.

"I can't act for the rest of my life."

"This world, it's Chi Xiaochi's."

Chi Xiaochi opens his eyes in the night and nods his chest in a gentle tone, "...... is not Chi Xiaochi's."

With that, he placed his cell phone on top of the bed and sent the text message he had just edited.

This one was sent to Zi Yu.

He had gotten acquainted with Zi Yu since the last Zhu Shoucheng incident.

He knew that it was Zi Yu who was on night duty at the police station tonight, so he asked her for help, saying that he and Lou had both caught a cold at night and had a high fever together, and he hoped that she would carry forward the high morals of the people's police for the people and dial an emergency number for them.

Chi Xiaochi then chooses to accept the transmission.

The familiar withdrawal awoke in him for the tenth time, tugging him, inch by inch, away from the world.

The original owner, Chi Xiaochi, just watched as a little halo of light diffused out of his body.

He was tempted to say something, but as usual, he couldn't open his mouth.

He had thought that he could do nothing but watch his other self disappear without a trace.

However, when the flickering shimmering light was about to fade, it actually turned back, cupped Chi Xiaochi's face on the bed, and gently pressed his forehead against his.

Some tiny particles of light, like fireflies, seeped into Chi Xiaochi's forehead as he stroked his fingertips on the bed.

"Almost forgot." The man whispered with a smirk.

What Chi Xiaochi had been waiting for all these years, no one had ever said to him.

The fingertip-shaped point of light brushed the teenager's forehead, so gentle it was like a kiss.

"...... A lot of things that aren't your fault."

Lou Ying, holding Chi Xiaochi, returned to the main God's space when 089 was going from house to house saying goodbye.

Chi Xiaochi was not unnaturally relieved to see that 089 was still there.

Chi Xiaochi's demeanor was relaxed, as if she hadn't rushed back specifically for him, and smiled brightly as she met him, "Mission accomplished?"

"Yes." 089 smiled, "You too? Then we may have to go together, and once I've met 23, I'm going to deliver the mission in 'a flash'."

Chi Xiaochi glances in the direction of "In a Flash": "Looks like I'm going to get a head start."

Other systems have seen the system brought to deliver ten times the task of the host, which is not eye to eye, quail-like follow the throat of their own system, where to dare to blindly walk blindly, but also with other systems to talk to.

Lou Ying brought Chi Xiaochi to "In a Flash" and straightened his lapel.

Chi Xiaochi looked at his face with undisguised fascination.

Lou Ying could brush the tip of his nose against the swirls of his hair as he lowered his head, "What are you looking at?"

Chi Xiaochi tilted her head and seriously surveyed his face, "Grown-up Lou looks like this."

There was a quiet cough from inside "In A Moment", as if on cue.

Both ignored the inconsequential commotion.

Lou Ying froze and stroked his face in realization.

Chi Xiaochi's ten worlds were completed, and the "confidentiality agreement" he had signed with the Lord God was automatically terminated.

It was also the first time Chi Xiaochi had seen Lou Ying's face after traveling through ten worlds.

Lou Ying dipped his head and rubbed his hair, "How was it?"

Chi Xiaochi: "Not bad, just right for me."

After playing tricks, Lou Ying did not react much, but Chi Xiaochi blushed.

However, that didn't stop him from pressing Lou Ying's head down a bit and kissing Lou Ying's forehead.

A series of irritated coughs erupted from within the "whiskers".

Chi Xiaochi smiles, "Then, Lou, I'm going in."

When it was finally time to leave, Lou Ying tried to be honest, but the ache in his chest was hard to lie to.

He forced a smile, "Well, go back and be careful. ...... Be sure to take care of yourself."

Chi Xiaochi didn't nod or shake his head, but just gave him a wry smile, pushed open the door of "In a Flash", and merged into the pale curtain of light.

...... door closed.
