“… You’re right. All good things must come to an end.”
Yi Wan pressed Chi Jixia's shoulder.
Chi Jixia: "So, first we have to buy a pink hat."
Chi Jixia pressed down the brim of his hat and turned away, leaving Yi Wan standing there in bewilderment.
Someone came out from the corner: "Chi Jixia is really..."
"An unqualified career-oriented male protagonist." Yi Wan said, "But, not bad either."
Lan Hua: …
"Besides, he is also my teammate." Yi Wan said.
Lan Hua lowered his head and muttered something. Finally, he said, "This is just like a joke."
Yi Wan said: "But I think it will be very effective."
Lan Hua was silent for a while, then said, "Yes, this world is just a joke."
Yi Wan leaned back on the balcony railing, his eyes reflecting the twilight outside the window: "But even in a world full of jokes, Bo Mingyuan still wants to reunite with Bo Mingjiang."
The world sparkled under the setting sun. Lan Hua looked down in the direction of Yi Wan's gaze. Not far away, Bo Jiang stood under the wall, looking at the sky. On the camphor tree not far from him, a white figure moved and flashed among the leaves.
"When will they meet again? It's just the last minute." Lan Hua said.
Yi Wan put his chin on the railing: "It will come eventually."
If the reunion can develop naturally, why bother to kick it so hard
The sun bathed Yi Wan's black hair. Lan Hua felt like he was looking into a soft forest.
A forest with its own way of living in this world.
He is clearly a guy who is out of tune with this world, but for some reason, when I stay by his side... I can feel tenderness.
"It's so boring, not cute, not cool, and not sweet." Lan Hua muttered, "Is this how you get along with your teammates? I'm leaving, you continue your story."
Yi Wan: "Hmm..."
Lan Hua: "You don't even say goodbye?"
Yi Wan: "What is Xie Ziyu doing recently?"
Lan Hua obviously didn't expect Yi Wan to mention Xie Ziyu. Facing Yi Wan, he unconsciously let down his guard: "I don't know. He has been staying in his hotel room every day recently and doesn't go out."
Pretty unusual, isn't it.
"... Anyway, I never knew what he wanted to do. At least I could see that he was chasing fame and fortune. Ever since he went to jail and came out, I have no idea what he wants to do." Lan Hua said, "The only thing I can see is that he is more interested in you..."
Yi Wan said softly, "It's because you've lost everything, so you're risking everything. The only thing you can seek is resistance, a chaos that will drag the whole world into the abyss, or an answer."
Lan Hua: "Lose everything, are you kidding? Money, songs, status, fame... He has everything. Even if he wants to fall in love."
As he spoke, his facial features twisted: "Humph... there will be many people rushing over here one after another."
"His name and appearance are fake, his childhood is fake, his family is fake, his singing talent is fake, and no one really knows him or cares about him. How can such a hypocritical life be considered to have everything? If he doesn't pursue something else, then he is really crazy." Yi Wan said, "And it's unfair. How can the world be like this? Why should we follow such rules, and who is controlling the world? In your eyes, he is a master who plays with the world. But in his eyes, he is just a pawn played by the way of heaven."
Lan Hua was stunned for a moment, and his expression became even more distorted: "I have no control over what he wants to do. I just want to know..."
"What was the final fate of the Blue Light Group?"
Lan Hua opened her mouth and finally said, "My... brother."
I wonder if he can escape from this quagmire called "Heaven's Way".
Just like Bo Mingyuan was able to reunite with Bo Mingjiang in the end, I also hope that one day in the future, I can reunite with my brother in the same manner as when we first met.
Even if we were not rich at that time, we were poor, and we looked ugly.
Yi Wan looked at him, and Lan Hua was about to get angry again. But Yi Wan said, "Ever since your brother chose this path and started working with Xie Ziyu, you have prevented many people from 'reuniting'."
"... Yeah." Lan Hua smiled bitterly, "I know."
Yi Wan: "Have you ever thought about..."
He said this, and then he seemed to be a little socially anxious and fell silent. Lan Hua waited for a long while, and said speechlessly: "You mean, have you ever thought that at least we should find a way to get rid of Xie Ziyu first?"
How come this person suddenly fell into social phobia when discussing cooperation
It was as if as soon as I opened my mouth to think about this, I felt like, “Oh, what I’m going to say next is so complicated, I don’t know where to start,” and then I fell silent.
Yi Wan said quickly: "Yes. Just like you treat those people as 'consumables', maybe you are also the 'consumables' chosen by Xie Ziyu."
Lan Hua was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Yi Wan: "I don't know. But don't you think that Blue Light Group is like a testing ground? Just like you said, Xie Ziyu himself has no interest in fame and fortune. What he pursues is 'perfection'."
Lan Hua suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
He knew he needed to do something, but he was afraid. So he said, "Is there anything I can do?"
Yi Wan glanced at him and said, "... So you are starting to believe me now."
Lan Hua: "What does that hesitant look of yours mean?!"
Lan Hua was a little shocked. Because Yi Wan seemed to have said a lot to him, but the expression he showed at the end showed that he didn't want to do anything. Yi Wan was silent for a while, and said, "I want to know what Xie Ziyu is doing... This will be useful for me to build my system."
"I see." Lan Hua said, "With this system, you will organize people to take action together to defeat him and save the world, right?"
Yi Wan: …
Lan Hua: …
Don't suddenly look like you're being pushed! Weren't you the one who made the request
Yi Wan: "... Well, let's find out what he is doing first."
Lan Hua then said something off topic: "Didn't you want me to be your insider from the beginning, but to give me your 'theory' and then you would feel satisfied?"
Yi Wan was silent.
Silence, you head, silence!
Lan Hua: "You were the one who just talked to me about a bunch of conspiracy theories about Xie Ziyu!"
Why did you suddenly stop doing anything? How could you get the theory and then not take action
Yi Wan said: "Although you probably can't provide any information..."
Lan Hua: "Hey! Don't look down on me!"
Lan Hua scolded Yi Wan. He then glanced at the accessories on his keychain and said, "Forget it, I'll help you. Lan Bai, that idiot." Yi Wan added, "But your brother will probably still go to jail."
Lan Hua: …
Yi Wan said: "It doesn't matter, you can go to a sanatorium to quit smoking during this time... After that, you will meet again."
Lan Hua was completely speechless.
I don't know why, but Yi Wan gives people a feeling of being extremely reliable in theory, but extremely unreliable in action. Lan Hua waved his hand and left. Before leaving, he whispered: "Yi Wan, I believe in you very much. I hope..."
He paused and said, "Forget it, you are the only hope."
Lan Hua left. Yi Wan leaned against the railing alone, his face buried in the shadows. After a while, another person came up quietly from the stairwell.
The signal blocker of heaven is a metaphor for time.
From the beginning of the conversation, he had been asked by Yi Wan to stand in the room downstairs.
He leaned on the railing beside Yi Wan, looked at Bo Mingyuan in the distance, and said, "You arranged it, right?"
"Um?"
"Let Lan Hua see the reunion of Bo Mingyuan and Bo Mingjiang." Yu Rongshi said, "You know Lan Hua's weaknesses and how much he values family affection."
"In fact, I am just like Lan Bo and Hui Gong. We are all using 'family affection' to kidnap him." Yi Wan said indifferently, "But it doesn't matter."
He really doesn't care.
Yu Rongshi realized that Yi Wan's layout was always like this. He was not like most people's layout of a matter: it was a clear logical line, and when the next step was needed, it would trigger the next task to be completed.
Yi Wan's layout is extensive, scattered, and even has no connection or focus in the eyes of ordinary people. But he can connect them with a thread that belongs only to him. For example, the reunion of Bo Mingyuan and Bo Mingjiang triggered his arrangement for Lan Hua.
He wanted to find out about Xie Ziyu's movements through Lan Hua.
Yu Rongshi looked at his profile and felt that Yi Wan was a little lonely again.
He used to be angry at the world, but only when he saw Yi Wan, he felt a kind of lonely heartache that saw him as a complicated person and wanted to understand him.
It's more than just the desire to monopolize something special.
… Or maybe, it’s already more than that.
Yu Rongshi lowered his eyes and said, "Since it was you who arranged it, why did you hesitate when you finally asked him for cooperation?"
Yu Rongshi always asks Yi Wan a lot of questions.
Yi Wan: "Because I suddenly felt it was so troublesome at the end... I thought about a lot of things at that moment, Lan Hua's expectations, the subsequent actions, and Hong Tuan, Qin Xuexin, etc."
Yu Rongshi: “Yeah.”
Not including him.
But it does not include Yi Wan himself.
"Actually, I don't want to be a savior..." Yi Wan looked into the distance and said, "I just want to satisfy my curiosity. This is weird and unfair to many people. They have made efforts and given expectations, but I just want to stop there. Sometimes I feel very annoyed. Why do I have to do so many things? Just like..."
He would rather delete his name, change from Shen Zhong to Yi Wan who belongs only to him, and start over.
"Yi Wan, are you very tired?" Yu Rongshi said suddenly.
"… Um?"
"You've done a lot. You've done a lot of things that others can't even imagine." Yu Rongshi said, "From the beginning, you had to deal with Jiang Bei, and had to accept other people's expectations and praise, or disappointment. Joining the Rainbow Group was not what you wanted in the beginning, and you had to deal with An Yelin, Bo Jiang, and Chi Jixia like a fire brigade. Then, just wanting to give it a try, you took on the burden of everything about Qin Xuexin. Then to Zhang Jianhua, you had to get involved in the Gray Palace's 'game'. And now, you have to arrange it again and again... The more you do, the more you have to bear."
Yi Wan was silent.
So this time...
"Then I will save the world."
Yu Rongshi said.
The wind lifted up the corner of Yu Rongshi's clothes. Yi Wan opened his eyes wide and looked at him almost at a loss.
"Why suddenly..."
"Let me save the world. You only need to think about what you want to do, that's enough." Yu Rongshi said with a smile, "You give the order and I execute it, just like this."
"… Even if it seems like an absurd order? Even if it goes against your principles? Even if you are unwilling?" Yi Wan's eyes were a little dark, "Even if you are the one favored by the heaven? Even if…"
He swallowed the words he hadn't yet said.
"Because this is the only thing in my life that is full of unknowns, but I can't help but indulge in it. Even if it is useless in the eyes of everyone." Yu Rongshi said, "Not only because I like you. It's also because I want to live for myself."
Huigong said I was a defective product.
The Unnatural Bureau said that I was a creation of Heaven and the sword of Heaven.
Those “protagonists”, they said I was a monster with no abilities at all.
They all wanted to get something from me that they could use to benefit themselves. So I provided those things, like a vending machine for them, like a wishing machine. Only you, Yi Wan, never really wanted to get anything from me from beginning to end. From beginning to end, you were telling me the most truthful words.
Meeting someone and lighting up the world from then on is just like this, right
so.
Compared to Tiandao's sword, I would rather be your sword. Although it is a fully automatic sword... Yi Wan is so lazy to act, so he can only be a fully automatic sword.
The wind brought the night and the stars. Yi Wan stood under the starry sky and said after a while: "Teacher Yu."
"Um?"
"You're more of a human being than ever before."
"I've heard your analysis of Bo Jiang, Chi Jixia, and Lan Hua. Except for me." Yu Rongshi said, "Actually... I don't know what kind of person I am. But I still hope that you can understand me. Isn't this wishful thinking?"
…
"No." Yi Wan said finally.
He suddenly stood on tiptoe and gently kissed Yu Rongshi's lips.
"Thank you, always," he said.
…
