Song Jinghuan was forced to enter one virtual world after another.
Each ti, he would enter as an infant.
If Quan Jinbei broke character, he would be struck by lightning.
And he...
He initially did not want to be struck by lightning, so he didn’t want to break character.
When he truly wanted to break character, he miserably discovered that breaking character wasn’t sothing he could do at will.
He wanted to break character, but he simply couldn’t achieve it.
He was like an NPC.
Every ti he entered a new virtual world, he could only act as a pre-programd tool, dragged out for tornt when needed.
He had his own thoughts.
But what use were they?
His actions were entirely out of his control, driving him to the brink of madness.
But...
He couldn’t go mad!
Strictly speaking, he was a madman to begin with.
He just hid it well.
Tortured by these virtual worlds, he rely beca more psychologically twisted.
Quan Jinbei didn’t know how miserable Song Jinghuan had beco.
In fact, he only threw Song Jinghuan into the virtual world initially, in the Motherly Way World.
In the subsequent worlds, he didn’t focus on him at all.
Naturally, he had no idea how much Song Jinghuan had suffered.
But even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.
After all...
Song Jinghuan himself created the device.
If not for Quan Jinbei’s ability to modify it, and Shi Yaoguang’s strong soul, it would have been them facing such a tragic fate.
...
...
Half a year later.
Quan Jinbei finally erged from the device again.
Shi Yaoguang woke up at the sa ti, her soul strength even stronger than before she fell into a coma.
Quan Jinbei rembered then that Song Jinghuan was still connected to the device.
Perhaps Song Jinghuan had suffered too much, because after Quan Jinbei retrieved him, he looked feeble and was still in a coma.
Shi Yaoguang saw his pitiful state but felt no sympathy.
Honestly, feeling sympathy for an enemy was unnecessary.
Would the enemy sympathize with you?
No.
They would only beco more ruthless.
...
Upon hearing that the two had erged, Jiu Yanchuan and Chen Shu were overjoyed.
They promptly arrived at the lab to greet them.
During these six months, the relationship between Jiu Yanchuan and Ye Nuannuan had deepened significantly.
Their relationship successfully transcended from online dating to real-world romance.
However...
Jiu Yanchuan probably only held the second place in Ye Nuannuan’s heart.
Because the mont Ye Nuannuan saw Shi Yaoguang, she excitedly pounced.
"Goddess! You finally awoke!"
Being a girl, Ye Nuannuan had no qualms about this.
Besides, Shi Yaoguang had saved her last ti. She didn’t even have the chance to thank her before Shi Yaoguang fell into a coma.
Now she had the opportunity, and naturally, she didn’t want to miss it.
Watching his girlfriend openly express her affection for Shi Yaoguang, Jiu Yanchuan couldn’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy.
Seeing this, Chen Shu nudged his elbow, "Old Jiu, why are you so jealous? What’s wrong with Nuannuan being a bit closer to our sister-in-law?"
"Didn’t you notice Brother Bei wasn’t even angry? Why are you so worked up? I’m telling you, if our sister-in-law were gender-swapped, Ye Nuannuan would probably fancy him instead of you..."
Listening to Chen Shu’s chatter, Jiu Yanchuan rolled his eyes dramatically.
"If you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute."
Chen Shu pursed his lips, "Old Jiu, you’re being unfair!"
"Our sister-in-law is also my savior! If it weren’t for Nuannuan being your girlfriend, I wouldn’t even let her have the chance to be close to our sister-in-law."
After saying this, he imdiately felt a chill at the back of his neck.
Looking up, he t Quan Jinbei’s threatening gaze.
Chen Shu thought for a mont and quickly changed his tone, "Ahem, that’s not what I ant."
"Brother Bei, you know best! I’m not the kind of person who steals others’ lovers! You’re my brothers from another mother! Besides, our sister-in-law is not my type..."
Chen Shu kept explaining, and Quan Jinbei rubbed his temples, feeling sowhat helpless, "I didn’t doubt you; it’s just that your words seem to be self-contradicting."
Chen Shu’s eyes flickered and he protested, "How am I being self-contradicting?"
"I prefer gentle and sweet little sisters! You all know that, we’ve talked about it long ago. Don’t think wrong! My preferences will not change."
Initially, Jiu Yanchuan had never thought Chen Shu would have feelings for Shi Yaoguang.
After all, he indeed had a focused preference for little sisters.
But!
Chen Shu’s verbosity indicated sothing odd.
Facing Jiu Yanchuan’s suspicious gaze, Chen Shu braced his neck, "Why are you staring at ? Don’t think staring will help. I’m telling you, staring won’t do any good! I, I..."
Jiu Yanchuan didn’t say a word, just kept looking at him.
Quan Jinbei’s gaze also fell on him.
Chen Shu hemd and hawed but couldn’t co up with anything.
Finally, he exhaled in frustration, "Who doesn’t have a secret crush? Ever heard of the suspension bridge effect? I think I’ve probably fallen for it."
"It doesn’t necessarily have to be a hero saving a beauty; a beauty saving a hero works too..."
His voice grew quieter and quieter until it was nearly inaudible.
Jiu Yanchuan clicked his tongue in soul-baring doubt, "Are you sure you’re the hero?"
Chen Shu beca indignant, "What do you an, old Jiu? Who are you saying is not a hero?"
Jiu Yanchuan crossed his arms, "Do you need to repeat it?"
Chen Shu: "..."
Fine, fine.
Ultimately, it was a misplaced effort.
He admitted he indeed felt a tiny bit of attraction, just a tiny bit!
But he wouldn’t compete with his good brother for a woman.
Even if she might not be interested in him, he wouldn’t have the thought of pursuing her.
Not to ntion his brotherly bond with Quan Jinbei.
Just look at the fate of the previous man who tried to pursue Shi Yaoguang...
That’s a cautionary tale!
Hearing Chen Shu ntion this, Shi Yaoguang beca interested, "What cautionary tale?"
Chen Shu sighed in lant, "Rember that young master from the SATA Group who fancied you? Fan Yanshu! Do you rember him?"
Shi Yaoguang thought for a mont and nodded.
Fan Yanshu, of course, she rembered.
She just didn’t know what his situation was now.
Speaking of which, Chen Shu beca animated.
"Fan Yanshu used to pursue you, rember? Then one day, he suddenly brought a man with him, obeying everything that man said. Fan Yanshu would take that man everywhere he went. Initially, the Fan Family denied Fan Yanshu ca out, only for Fan Yanshu to prove them wrong. Oh, the embarrassnt! Just thinking about it still makes wince..."
