This was a feeling he couldn't explain. Even Fang Ruoming himself felt that this inexplicable lack of confidence was very strange. However, he found that after that day, he really lost the courage to confess his feelings. No matter how he encouraged himself, it was useless.
Bai Yichen was unaware of Fang Ruoming's inner struggle and entanglement. The peaceful time passed like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, three years had passed.
During these three years, Bai Yichen's company developed better and better, and its scale continued to expand. At this time, Bai Yichen also began to launch a multi-faceted attack on Baixu Group.
During the past three years, Xu Jiangzhe has gotten through the initial difficult period. After the public began to gradually forget the well-known scandal of that year, the Baixu Group gradually improved under his leadership.
However, after three years, although Xu Jiangzhe stabilized the Baixu Group, Xinri Company has also grown day by day, and has even gradually begun to compete with the Baixu Group. With such a company's step-by-step pressure and the various strategies of the other party's decision-makers, the Baixu Group has also suffered a lot.
Although Xu Jiangzhe also grew very quickly and outstandingly, he still lacked some experience compared to Bai Yichen.
However, Xu Jiangzhe, who saw that his company often suffered losses, was in an unusually happy mood, because he knew who in Xinri Company would deliberately target him. Whenever he thought about who was targeting him, Xu Jiangzhe would feel excited and his heart would heat up.
Ziqian, is that you? Ziqian, I knew you still care about me!
It has been three years. It has been three whole years since he last saw the figure he had been thinking about day and night. Xu Jiangzhe is almost going crazy.
He didn't expect Ziqian to be so determined. It had been three years, a full three years. During these three years, Ziqian had never appeared in front of him once, and he wanted to see Ziqian so much that he was almost going crazy.
During these three years, every photo with Ziqian in it became his treasure. However, no matter how he sent people to investigate, they could not find any trace of Ziqian. Ziqian seemed to have made up his mind not to have anything to do with him anymore. In this case, how could he not be ecstatic when he found out that Ziqian's company was still targeting him
For the first time, Xu Jiangzhe discovered that being hated could be a kind of happiness. He was more afraid of being hated by Ziqian than being hated by Ziqian, that one day Ziqian would not see him at all.
Bai Yichen naturally could not understand Xu Jiangzhe's weird psychology, and the reason why he targeted Baixu Group was because he felt that there were some things he had not taken back, such as the name of Baixu Group.
Baixu Group was founded from scratch by this body's parents. Although it was founded in partnership with Xu Jiangzhe's parents, they must have been full of affection for the name of Baixu Group. So Bai Yichen felt that before he left, he needed to take back the name of Baixu Group.
It has never been his style to create a new company and then leave in a dejected manner. The reason why he did not take any action in the previous three years was entirely because the foundation of Xinri Company was too weak. Now, after three years of development, the accumulation has been almost enough, and there is still one year left, which is enough for him to complete this goal.
Xu Jiangzhe still doesn't know what's waiting for him, or even if he knew, he wouldn't care. In his eyes now, there's no one else except Bai Ziqian.
A year later, the Baixu Group successfully changed hands as Bai Yichen had planned. Of course, this does not mean that Bai Yichen completely swallowed up the Baixu Group. Rather, under his pressure, Xu Jiangzhe and the Xu family's board of directors had to transfer their assets and set up another company, and gave the name of the Baixu Group to Bai Yichen.
On the day of the signing ceremony, Xu Jiangzhe finally got to see the person he had been thinking about for four years. The moment he saw Bai Yichen, he forgot everything. He even forgot the humiliation contained in the signing ceremony. His eyes were filled with only that figure, greedily absorbing the changes in the other party over the past four years.
Ziqian can still only sit in a wheelchair, his exquisite profile is so handsome that people can't take their eyes off him, but he has become mature and more attractive. The calm temperament that he once felt in Ziqian, after years of precipitation, is like a glass of mellow and intoxicating red wine.
"Zi Qian." Xu Jiangzhe stood up in a panic and wanted to walk to the other side of the long conference table, but he was blocked by a group of bodyguards halfway through.
Bai Yichen seemed not to have heard Xu Jiangzhe's shouts, nor to have seen the commotion in the conference room. He signed his name without even looking up, and then asked his assistant to deliver the two signed contracts to Xu Jiangzhe on the other side. If it weren't for the special significance of this signature, he would not have appeared in front of Xu Jiangzhe.
Xu Jiangzhe looked at Bai Yichen absentmindedly for a long time. Seeing that the other party had no intention of paying attention to him, he lowered his head in disappointment. He looked at the contract sent to him by his assistant, thought about it, picked up the pen and signed his name on it.
The three words "Xu Jiangzhe" and Bai Ziqian's name were written side by side at the end of the contract.
Xu Jiangzhe looked at the two signatures side by side, kept one carefully, and asked his assistant to send the other back.
On the other side, Bai Yichen got what he wanted, so he asked his assistant to push him away, escorted by a large group of bodyguards. He never gave Xu Jiangzhe a chance to get close to him.
After chasing for a while, Xu Jiangzhe looked at the convoy which was so far away that his shadow could no longer be seen with disappointment. But after a while, a smile reappeared on his face. At least, Ziqian showed up this time, didn't he
Ziqian no longer avoided him like before. Does this mean that a new change has begun? After so many years, his parents' sentences have been halfway through, and they have paid a heavy price for what they have done. This time, the contract even took away the name of Baixu Group. It has come to this point, and Ziqian has reappeared in front of him. Does this mean that Ziqian has almost taken revenge and has begun to calm down? With this thought in mind, Xu Jiangzhe's eyes can't help but get brighter and brighter.
Even after going through so much, Xu Jiangzhe never gave up the idea of being with Ziqian.
He loved Ziqian so much that he couldn't bear to live without him, so even when things came to this point, he never thought of letting go. He was destined to be entangled with Ziqian for the rest of his life.
However, there is actually a benefit for Ziqian to come out and sign the agreement today. Xu Jiangzhe couldn't help but smile. The people he sent out who had been unable to find Ziqian's whereabouts should be able to find something after this time.
Bai Yichen was in no mood to think about Xu Jiangzhe's little thoughts. Holding the contract in his hand, Bai Yichen felt that his last mission was completed. After that, he just had to wait for his departure. And now, there was still a month before he left this world.
A month is not too long, but it is enough for him to find a lawyer to draw up a will and arrange his own affairs at leisure.
With the experience from the previous world, Bai Yichen had been going to the hospital for a full-body checkup every once in a while a year ago. But this time, no matter how he checked, his body looked very healthy. According to Bai Yichen's current guess, the possibility that he died of a terminal illness this time was very small. After all, it was only a month. Even if the onset of a terminal illness was fast, the signs should be found out now.
Since it wasn't caused by illness, it could only be an accident. With this thought in mind, Bai Yichen was not very nervous. Because as long as he survived the crisis at the beginning of the journey, he wouldn't feel any pain when he died during the reward time. This was also verified after he died of a terminal illness in the previous world. He didn't feel any pain when he died that time. It was just like sleeping. When he opened his eyes again, he had already entered a new world.
Regarding his will, Bai Yichen had no relatives or descendants in this world, so most of his property would be donated to charities after his death. As for the other part, he chose to donate it to Fang Ruoming.
Although he knew that Fang Ruoming's company had developed very well in recent years and was not short of money, Fang Ruoming was the only friend who had accompanied him during his last few years of free time in this world. Didn't he also want to give him something
Not to mention, Fang Ruoming, as his friend, would definitely be sad about his passing.
Some things really cannot be talked about. Bai Yichen then thought of Fang Ruoming, and the next moment, Fang Ruoming came to visit him.
Over the past few years, Fang Ruoming and Bai Yichen have maintained a close relationship. As both of them are single, Fang Ruoming, who became an orphan at a young age, would shamelessly come to Bai Yichen whenever there was a festival when he needed to spend time with his family, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival.
Fang Ruoming's arrival also diluted Bai Yichen's feeling of loneliness in this world, which became doubly cold during every festival.
Fang Ruoming was now so familiar with Bai Yichen that he could joke around with him casually, and he could go in and out of the kitchen as naturally as a half-owner. Bai Yichen even had a guest room reserved for him in his house. But for some reason, no matter how passionate Fang Ruoming was, he never dared to express his feelings.
No matter how hard he tried, no matter how he cheered himself up before meeting Bai Yichen, when he was in front of Bai Yichen, he always dared only act like a close friend, and didn't dare to utter a single word of those inappropriate words.
He likes this person so much that he would do anything for him, but he doesn't even have the courage to confess his feelings. Isn't that sad
…
A month passed in a flash, and when Bai Yichen arrived at the day when he was supposed to leave, he felt unusually calm. He even had the leisure to guess what accident had caused his departure.
He is still in the house and has not left, so did his wheelchair slip and fall down the stairs? Or was it a dangerous gas leak, fire, earthquake, or home invasion
After thinking for a while, Bai Yichen felt that it was too safe for him to stay in the room. If an accident happened that killed him, it would probably make a lot of noise. He had no doubt that what the system said would come true. If it could put a dead person like him into these bodies and revive him, what else could the system not do? So Bai Yichen thought about it, and finally asked the bodyguard to drive him out. After all, it was much easier to have an accident outside, wasn't it
Besides, Aunt Wang was in the house. He didn't want to scare the timid Aunt Wang into anything bad if he had an accident, and he didn't want to implicate innocent people. After all, he died of illness in the previous world, and he couldn't predict what would happen if he died accidentally in this world.
Some time after Bai Yichen left the villa, Fang Ruoming came to visit again. After learning from Aunt Wang that Bai Yichen had gone out, Fang Ruoming couldn't help but frown, because as far as he knew, that person seldom went out. And for some reason, he was always nervous today and had a bad premonition, so Fang Ruoming finally decided to go find Bai Yichen himself.
At the same time as Fang Ruoming was leaving, Xu Jiangzhe also received a call in another part of the city. He said excitedly, "Really? Did you really see him coming out? On Liuli Avenue, OK, I'll go over now, you must have caught up with him."
After putting down his phone, Xu Jiangzhe looked excited. Finally, he found the opportunity.
After the signing ceremony a month ago, the people he sent out did follow Bai Yichen's motorcade and found some clues, and then they found Bai Yichen's residence.
However, their people could only follow to the outside of the villa area, but they had no idea which building was inside.
Xu Jiangzhe also knew that if he went to Ziqian's house rashly, he would definitely be disgusted, and it might even force Ziqian to move again, putting him in a difficult situation again, so he had been holding back from making any rash moves. But today was different, Ziqian came out on his own, so if he rushed to where Ziqian was and approached him to chat, then it would make sense to say it was an accidental encounter.
All kinds of thoughts were turning over in Xu Jiangzhe's mind, and he kept striding towards the underground parking lot. As long as he thought about being able to talk to Ziqian again, Xu Jiangzhe could hardly suppress the excitement in his heart.
When people from both sides started to rush towards Bai Yichen, Bai Yichen was unaware of anything. After he arrived, he asked his bodyguards to push him to a quiet place. After checking that there were no other innocent people around, he asked his bodyguards to move away a little, and then he stared at the street scene alone.
In fact, ever since he was imprisoned by the Xu family in this world for so many years, he has become particularly fond of watching the bustling streets. However, today should be the last time for him to watch the hustle and bustle of this world...
While Bai Yichen was staring at the street scene, a man appeared from two directions of the street. Fang Ruoming, who was sitting in the car, finally found the figure. A look of relaxation appeared on his face. He planned to find a place to park the car and then go find Bai Yichen.
Xu Jiangzhe, who was on the other side of the street, was holding a cell phone in his hand. Following the instructions of the private detective he had planted here, he also saw Bai Yichen smoothly. Seeing the figure he had been thinking about day and night, Xu Jiangzhe smiled widely. While thinking about what he should say to Ziqian later, he strode forward. However, the smile on his face did not last for two seconds, and soon turned into a look of fear. His mouth opened, as if he wanted to scream something, and his eyes were wide open, as if he wanted to stop something...
However, the car was like a devil. With a look of rejection in his eyes, it rushed straight onto the sidewalk and headed towards Ziqian, who was sitting in a wheelchair and was unaware of anything.
It was only a short second, but the scene seemed to be delayed in Xu Jiangzhe's eyes, slowly appearing. He watched the car rushing out of the lane little by little, and watched his car approaching Ziqian little by little. He wanted to shout, but his throat seemed to be blocked by cotton and he couldn't make a sound. He wanted to stop it, but his steps seemed to be filled with lead and he didn't take a single step.
In such a powerless state, he watched helplessly as the car hit his Ziqian. The dull sound of the figure in the wheelchair being knocked away and falling to the ground was so small compared to the sound of the car falling to the ground afterwards. However, that dull sound of impact seemed to hit his heart, making his heart bleed and shattered.
Ziqian...
Looking at the bright red color spreading out from where the figure fell on the ground, Xu Jiangzhe's lips trembled, but he couldn't make a sound...
Ziqian, is that his Ziqian...
Impossible, how could his Ziqian be like this...
But that was indeed his Ziqian...
After accepting this fact, Xu Jiangzhe walked forward with weak steps and saw the figure in the pool of blood that he wanted to see but did not dare to see.
When he saw with his own eyes the person whom he had treasured in the most important place in his heart for more than ten years being torn into pieces, Xu Jiangzhe let out a sound of pain that was not like a human voice. At this moment, he hated everyone at the scene, including himself. He hated why he couldn't come earlier. He hated why he couldn't stop it when he saw that scene. He clearly saw it, and it was clearly only a short distance away, so why couldn't he stop it
He also hated those who were supposed to protect Ziqian. Why didn't they protect Ziqian? Why did that large group of people isolate him tightly when he wanted to get close to Ziqian? But now that Ziqian was in danger, where were they
Ziqian, if Ziqian was still by his side, he would definitely be able to protect Ziqian, and he would never let him fall into such a dangerous situation for a moment.
At this time, the bodyguard who was hated by Xu Jiangzhe was standing aside with a pale face. He obviously didn't expect that his employer had just asked him to stand further away, but he was hit by a car that suddenly flew out from the road. Although he hadn't tried to test his employer, even a god would not be able to survive if he was hit like this.
Behind the two of them, a figure, with almost the same hands and feet, walked towards them stiffly like a zombie. The closer he got, the slower his steps became. When he was one meter away from Bai Yichen, he no longer dared to get any closer. However, the blood flowing on the ground slowly approached him until it stained the soles of his shoes.
Fang Ruoming looked at the blood that had spread to the soles of his shoes, and finally knelt down helplessly. He took two steps on his knees and reached out his hand to touch Bai Yichen's body that was already stained with blood. Xu Jiangzhe, who had been holding Bai Yichen, dodged backwards with a vigilant look, but Fang Ruoming was incredibly strong at this moment. He slowly placed his hand on the side of Bai Yichen's neck. In fact, this was an unnecessary move, because looking at Bai Yichen's appearance at this moment, no one would think that he would still be alive just by looking at him from a distance.
However, Fang Ruoming stubbornly placed his hand on it, as if he was unwilling to believe the fact, and as if he was waiting for a miracle.
Xu Jiangzhe, who had been wary of Fang Ruoming's actions, did not have any resistance to his action. He just stared at Fang Ruoming's actions blankly, waiting patiently. It seemed that he was expecting Fang Ruoming to tell him some miracle.
However, the reason why a miracle is a miracle is that it is something that is simply impossible to happen.
Amidst the strange and tragic scene here, several police cars roared over from the other side. However, these police cars were not called by the onlookers around after seeing the car accident. The policemen in those cars immediately got out of the cars and nervously surrounded the car that had hit Bai Yichen before.
A minute later, it was found that the driver of the car was dead.
Upon learning of the result, the fully-armed criminal police officers all looked at each other, at the innocent victim lying dead in a pool of blood, and at the desperate criminals who died in the car due to the tragic rollover, and all fell silent.
The next day, a social news was reported in the news. A desperado accidentally overturned his car and crashed into the sidewalk while being chased by the criminal police after robbing a car. An innocent pedestrian was unfortunately killed, and the gangster also died on the spot.
…
Bai Yichen's death was hastily reported in a piece of social news. He had no relatives or friends in this world, and even few people had any contact with him. His death did not seem to cause any waves. However, two people were completely changed by Bai Yichen's death.
Xu Jiangzhe disappeared for a long time after Bai Yichen's funeral, but when he appeared again, people found that he had gone crazy.
Of course, he was not particularly crazy. He could even go to work and make company decisions in a conscious manner. But every time he returned home, he would often push an empty wheelchair and speak to it in a very gentle manner.
His attitude towards the wheelchair was lifelike, as if there was really a person there, and the sentence he said most to the wheelchair was, "Ziqian, it's too dangerous there, let's go home, go home."
Occasionally, he would push his wheelchair in the garden to bask in the sun and suddenly remember something. He would gently say to the wheelchair, "Ziqian, let me take you to the mall."
No one knows that when Xu Jiangzhe said this, what emerged in his mind was when they were young. One day it was Ziqian's birthday. That night he broke into Ziqian's room and hugged him capriciously, asking him what he liked, and gave him whatever he liked.
However, Ziqian replied that he wanted to go shopping.
What did he say at that time, oh, he didn't say anything, he just closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
However, he only realized today that one day even completing such a small thing had become a luxury for him.
What made him even more painful was that during the years when he had monopolized Ziqian's beautiful youth, he had never even fulfilled such a small wish of Ziqian's.
…
…
In a cemetery lined with tombstones, Fang Ruoming sat in front of a tombstone, waiting from dawn to sunset.
Since that day, it felt like a big hole had been broken in his heart, which was buried along with the death of that person.
The man's voice, appearance and smile appeared before his eyes day after day, so much so that he didn't want to go anywhere except the cemetery.
He regretted more than once why he didn't go there earlier that day and why he didn't call Brother Bai on the way. Maybe if he had called, everything would have been different.
He also regretted why he was such a coward and never confessed his love until the person he loved died.
Bai Yichen's will after his death has been published by his lawyer. However, Fang Ruoming, who inherited Bai Yichen's estate, is even more miserable. He is in a trance every day, going back and forth between home and the cemetery day after day.
After living this zombie-like life for an unknown period of time, he suddenly realized that there was no point in living like this.
Is there anything else in this world that is worth his concern
Isn't the person he cares about the most already gone? Why should he stay here
Fang Ruoming knew that his thoughts were wrong, but he couldn't control himself. He couldn't help but go to the place where Bai Yichen had the car accident in a trance.
A few months later, one day, he had a hallucination at the place where Bai Yichen had the car accident. He seemed to see his brother Bai being hit by a car again, and he couldn't help but rush over directly. However, this time, he fell into eternal sleep.
…
"Dear host, the plot progress of your completed mission this time is 0%, and the emotional progress between the protagonist you play and the protagonist you play is 0%, and you have received a minimum score of 100 points. Oh my God, host, I'm going crazy! How is it possible that someone can only complete 0%? Aren't you originally the protagonist of another world? You have the luck of being the protagonist, so shouldn't this mission be the easiest for you? How could it be only 0%?" A system voice that was originally reporting the data seriously suddenly became crazy and couldn't stop complaining to a figure in the virtual space.
The figure in the virtual space seemed to be disturbed by the sound of the system. When he raised his head, the spherical system that had been jumping non-stop suddenly became silent.
The man who raised his head, opened his eyes with tears streaming down, and asked the virtual ball in a trembling voice, "Is it him? Is that him?"
The system looked at its host's crazy look and didn't dare to say anything more. However, the figure didn't need his answer at all. He knew the answer without the system telling him. That person was him, and Bai Ziqian was his brother Chen!
No matter what his brother Chen becomes, he can recognize him. He knows him so well and is familiar with him. Every move of Bai Ziqian is like his brother Chen. How could it be otherwise
But why did his brother Chen die in this world? And what happened to his memory? Why did he have no memory at all in that world? Thinking of this, Su Yuanhang looked at the system with a gloomy expression.
The system ball looked at its host who seemed to want to tear it down, and couldn't help but shiver. It said hurriedly: "The main system has set a rule to block the memory. In order to increase the completion rate of the task and prevent personal feelings from being brought in, in the task world, all sub-world taskers must block their memories."
"Does the memory have to be blocked every time I enter a mission world?" Su Yuanhang couldn't help but frowned when he heard the system's words.
The system answered this question honestly, and even seemed a little positive. "Points are required. As long as the host has 100,000 points, he can enter the mission world with his original memories. For every 100% completion of a world's mission progress, you can get 10,000 points. As long as the host can complete the task of playing the protagonist in ten worlds 100%, then you can get 100,000 points. But host, you only have 100 points now." At this point, the system ball couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved.
After hearing what the system ball said, Su Yuanhang could not help but fall silent. In the end, he temporarily gave up this goal that was still out of reach for him, and asked instead: "That Bai Ziqian must be my brother Chen, right? Can I meet him again in the next world?"
The system ball looked at its host who didn't take the mission seriously at all, and couldn't help but roll its eyes. But who made him have such a troublesome host? The system couldn't change the host at will, so the system could only answer honestly: "Host, the condition for you to join the protagonist role-playing system is to be able to see your brother Chen again, so as long as you enter the regular mission world, you can see him again."
Su Yuanhang's eyes lit up when he heard the system's words. Brother Chen, he could really see Brother Chen again! And he now knew that this was not an illusion, and the system did not deceive him, because in the last world, as Fang Ruoming, he had actually come into contact with his brother Chen. However, as his memories returned, Su Yuanhang also remembered Brother Chen's expressionless words, "I don't like eating cantaloupe." He couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.
But no matter how uncomfortable or painful it was, as long as he thought that he could see Brother Chen again, Su Yuanhang felt full of hope in his heart, so he said to the system: "Let's start, I want to enter the next world quickly."
