Don’t Covet the Beautiful System!! - Chapter 96

When the words fell to the ground, the tip of the pen in Ouyang Yu’s hand suddenly stopped, and there was only a terrified sound in his mind.

How did he speak out what was in his heart? !

Help!

The air around the two of them froze strangely, and in the dead silence, admiration from outsiders suddenly sounded.

Huang Wen, who was wearing headphones, was concentrating on playing games. After beating a boss, he slammed on the keyboard, and passionately said to his teammates in the headset: “Damn, you are so awesome!”

Feeling a pain in his knee, Ouyang Yu closed his eyes in pain.

Regardless of whether the two of them are lovers or not, just based on this sentence, his reputation as a straight man will be ruined.

In just two seconds, Ouyang Yu thought a lot. He thought deeply of his possibly rough relationship with the opposite **** in the future, and even more painfully thought of Pei Qingyuan’s reaction after learning about this conversation.

I always feel like I’m going to get punched.

Ouyang Yu’s fingers trembled slightly, and even his notebook trembled slightly, finally he mustered up the courage to raise his head, and secretly observed Ji Tong’s expression, to see if there was any possibility of everyone pretending nothing happened.

Ji Tong looked very dazed, and didn’t recover from this sentence for a long time.

It wasn’t until he met his gaze that he repeated in a daze: “My boyfriend?”

It’s over, judging by their expressions, the two students are innocent.

It is he who thinks too much.

Gay was himself.

“I mean what club did your roommate Pei Qingyuan join…” Ouyang Yu knelt quickly, “I’m sorry, I thought you two were a couple, my fault, this is my fault.”

Ji Tong explained a little slowly: “We are not…a couple.”

While digging with his toes in embarrassment, Ouyang Yu sincerely apologized: “You are good friends, it’s my mouth, don’t mind, just take it as a joke, I’m sorry!”

But Ji Tong’s expression is obviously not that he can take this sentence as a joke.

He was seriously thinking about something, and he didn’t even bother to answer Ouyang Yu’s original question about the association.

Ouyang Yu felt that he had poached something terrible.

…didn’t dare to think about it at all.

When he left dormitory 715, he happened to meet Pei Qingyuan who came back from the phone call. In the oncoming air-conditioning, he almost couldn’t control his urge to bow and admit his mistake, and slipped against the wall to his dormitory.

Pei Qingyuan, who didn’t know what happened at all: …

Why does this squad leader look like he is fleeing?

He opened the door and walked into the bedroom, everything in the room was as usual.

Ji Tong sat in front of his desk, and the screen of the robot football game was displayed on the computer screen.

Pei Qingyuan thought he was watching a football game, but after a while, he realized from the scene where the robot fell down and Ji Tong didn’t laugh out loud, that he was actually staring at the video interface in a daze.

“I’m back.” He tried to say hello.

Ji Tong’s back was stiff, and he didn’t turn his head. After a while, he whispered: “Yes.”

Something is wrong.

Pei Qingyuan frowned thinking of Ouyang Yu’s state of running away just now.

There should be nothing serious, otherwise the roommate Huang Wen would not continue to play the game without having anything to do with himself.

He was about to ask Ouyang Yu what he was doing here, when the bedroom door was opened again, and Cui Yinan, who was sweating profusely, came back with a big bag of supper.

There were few people in the dormitory and it was deserted. He was bored and went for a run. After the run, he was hungry, so he simply bought supper.

“You two are back. Fortunately, I bought a lot more, enough to eat.” Cui Yinan poked Huang Wen’s back as the tempting food aroma exuded from the bag, “Hey, if you don’t get up again, you won’t have your share.”

Huang Wen took off the earphones and turned back, sniffed, with a moved face: “Master Cui, I love you! How much is it? I will support you!”

“Get out.” Cui Yinan scolded with a smile, “This is my treat.”

He glanced over the flowers on the window sill, and turned to look at Ji Tong and Pei Qingyuan: “Hey, you bought these flowers in the campus supermarket? It’s so romantic.”

Hearing what he said, Ji Tong leaned forward slowly, put his hands on the table, and silently covered half of his face, as if he didn’t want to face this sentence.

He didn’t respond to the barbecue that Cui Yinan bought, and didn’t get up immediately.

Pei Qingyuan had a panoramic view of everything, and asked Cui Yinan calmly: “Did you not buy a drink?”

Cui Yinan patted his thigh, and quickly tied back the open barbecue bag: “I said I forgot something, Xiao Huang, you run downstairs, hurry up, the barbecue will be cold in a while, I want a Coke.”

Before Huang Wen could speak, Pei Qingyuan took it down first: “I’ll go.”

“Thank you Brother Pei! I want iced green tea, Brother Pei, I love you too! I’ll pay you!”

“…You almost got the yellow smell.”

The moment Pei Qingyuan closed the door, he saw Ji Tong quietly heaving a sigh of relief, stretching out his original restrained movements, and leaning back on the back of the chair again.

Ten minutes later, he returned with a bag full of iced drinks, plus an ice cream cone with mixed fruit flavors.

Amidst the cheers from his roommates, he handed the cone to Ji Tong.

When Ji Tong took it, he lowered his head, couldn’t see his expression clearly, and said in a low voice, “Thank you…brother.”

Pei Qingyuan said calmly: “Come over for supper.”

We chatted and ate, and halfway through it was so fragrant that the person in the next bedroom knocked on the door to ask which barbecue to buy, and laughter sounded from time to time in the room, as if it was the same as usual.

But Pei Qingyuan knew very well that something was wrong.

It took Ji Tong a full fifteen minutes to finish this melting and creamy cone today.

Usually only five minutes.

This is obviously his favorite mixed fruit flavor.

The barbecue is only eaten a little bit.

He seems preoccupied, and consciously or unconsciously avoids physical contact with himself.

Except for Huang Wen, who was too nervous, Cui Yinan on the side noticed something strange, and jokingly asked Ji Tong if he was rejected when he went out for a drive with the person he liked.

“By the way, I don’t think I’ve counted the peach blossoms for you yet.” Cui Yinan did not forget the true nature of the magic stick, and used jokes to help him soothe his mood, “Do you want to do the math for you? Let’s see if he will change his mind and fall in love with you.”

“No need!” Ji Tong, who had been traveling all night, rarely answered so quickly, and even muttered something in a low voice.

Pei Qingyuan, who was sitting next to him, was the only one who heard clearly.

“Don’t like me,” he said.

Pei Qingyuan vaguely understood the root of the strangeness tonight.

In front of others, he never concealed his concern for Ji Tong.

Ji Tong doesn’t have any emotional experience, and he’s used to being with him day and night since he was a child, maybe he doesn’t realize it.

But it will be a matter of time before others notice this special feeling.

After using the great camouflage at night, Ji Tong, who had escaped from the golden cicada’s shell, did not turn into a cat doll. After thinking that he was asleep, he secretly counted his hair to hypnotize himself, but stayed peacefully in the consciousness space.

The cute cat doll is gone, and the mini nest next to the pillow is empty, Pei Qingyuan is very uncomfortable.

If he wants to communicate with Ji Tong now, he can only communicate in his heart and cannot see the other person’s demeanor and movements, so after hesitating for a moment, he gives up.

This needs to be said face to face.

University is a collective life, and there are many places to be careful and restrained. Pei Qingyuan began to miss the more private time when he was able to chat freely at home.

In the quiet dormitory at night, he thought about it for a long time, and finally just asked in a normal way: “When can I enter the consciousness space?”

The little robot squatting in front of the paulownia flower in a daze heard this question, and his body was filled with sizzling electrons.

He thought for a while before he found a reason that sounded passable, he hesitated and said: “It will probably be fine after the next regular meeting is over.”

In fact, when the first pot of gold mission was completed last time, the growth value of the host who officially opened the career line had already met the opening conditions of the consciousness space.

But for some reason, Ji Tong didn’t dare to tell him, since the host didn’t ask at the time anyway.

He looked at the flowers he planted in this garden, and the paulownia flowers that bloomed from the host’s heart, and somehow felt that it was not a wise decision to let the host enter this space.

What Ouyang Yu said today directly pointed out a question that he had been subconsciously avoiding all along.

The way the host treats him is special.

Beyond the specificity of the host-system relationship.

In the eyes of others, they even look like a pair of lovers.

Pei Qingyuan continued to ask: “When will the regular meeting be held?”

The little robot froze: “…tomorrow.”

He forgot that the regular meeting was tomorrow.

Why not find another reason! !

The host sounded a little happy: “Okay, see you tomorrow.”

Ji Tong wanted to cry but had no tears: “Tomorrow, see you tomorrow.”

He is now regretting that he should have persuaded the host to choose the time reversal card reward, which would allow him to go back to a minute ago and then change the reason for delaying time.

However, no matter how much he didn’t want to face the arrival of tomorrow, tomorrow still came.

In the meeting place, the handsome man in black looked seriously at Ji Tong, who was depressed, and asked curiously, “Why do you look like you failed the exam and dare not take the paper home and sign it for your parents?”

“…” Ji Tong laughed dryly, ignoring the elementary school students who were watching the excitement, “You read it wrong.”

During the break of the system conference, his two friends from the human system came over and took the opportunity to chat.

Fu Yinyin looked at his melancholy expression, hesitated to speak: “Did something happen?”

In fact, Ji Tong was a little afraid to face Fu Yinyin.

During the Spring Festival this year, Fu Yinyin specifically told him to keep the secrets of the system and not reveal his human identity.

He didn’t reveal his human identity, but he seemed to have caused even bigger troubles.

If the host really likes him, what should I do in the following emotional line tasks? Will this projected world be destroyed because of the collapse of the plot?

Ji Tong hesitated to answer, and couldn’t help thinking of everything he had experienced in this year.

As good as one of the happiest dreams he could have imagined.

He would rather be expelled from this world as a failed system than anyone here disappear.

…of course it’s best if nothing happens.

He likes this world.

The smart customer service who received him at the time said that he was lucky to get this opportunity to wear books.

Now it seems that this is indeed the luckiest thing in his life, and he doesn’t want to bring bad luck to others.

etc.

Ji Tong suddenly found a problem.

The boy in the black shirt raised his head and looked around at the surrounding systems with different appearances, and then eagerly asked the two friends beside him: “My name is Ji Tong, right?”

Fu Yinyin and Fang Hao looked at each other, and nodded blankly: “Yes. Are you infected with the virus? Do you want to find a mastermind representative for you?”

“No.” Ji Tong said quickly, “When I came to this world, the customer service said that I came here because I had the same name as the system.”

“But, doesn’t every world have a system? Why did I enter this world?”

And came to Pei Qingyuan’s side again?

When the two of them heard him say that, they both showed thoughtful expressions.

This seems to be a problem.

But why bother with this question?

Ji Tong then asked: “Will I not only assume the functions of the system, but also play an important role in the plot belonging to this host?”

Maybe he is the other half of the host’s relationship line.

Regardless of whether he likes the host or not, at least the world will not be destroyed because the host likes the system.

After listening to his wild conjecture, Fang Hao took a deep breath: “Are you really infected with the virus? So the human system can also be infected with the virus?”

“Actually, the customer service may be just perfunctory you, thinking you will believe such words.” He waved his hand, “I remember when I met the customer service, it didn’t give a reason, it just said, children come with me, use that kind of The tone of coaxing children.”

Fang Hao thought for a while, and suddenly burst into laughter: “I think the most likely thing is that the customer service has seen the cartoon called Mindless and Unhappy, and thought it was very good, so they put you and the always unhappy brother Pei allocated together.”

Ji Tong: …

He really wanted to punch the elementary school student.

Fu Yinyin answered him seriously: “Maybe it’s because of destiny?”

“What is destined?”

“I don’t know.” She smiled and sighed.

Under the reliable or outrageous guesses of his friends, Ji Tong struggled with the whole regular meeting, and finally ran to find the representative of the mastermind.

After listening to his question, the Mastermind representative said coldly, “This is an advanced question, and you don’t have permission to know the answer for now.”

Ji Tong chased after him: “When will I have permission?”

“I don’t know.” The representative of the main brain with the appearance of a classic robot said perfunctorily, “Let’s talk about it later.”

Why did the painting style change in the blink of an eye?

Just now, she still looked like she was doing business!

In Ji Tong’s ready to complain, the robot represented by the mastermind’s eyes flashed, and he continued to ask coldly: “Why do you ask? Is there any problem in your world?”

Ji Tong immediately became honest: “It’s nothing, thank you, I’m sorry.”

At the end of this regular meeting, Ji Tong, who didn’t want to go back to face the host, was dragged to the last place in the room until he was decisively blasted out of the system center by the impatient mastermind representative.

The consciousness space is about to be opened to the host.

The worried little robot stood in front of the mirror in the virtual world, taking the time to modify his appearance.

The round mechanical corners should be sharpened, and the fresh bean green should be replaced with rusty bronze green?

All in all, he had to make the robot look less intimate, the more distant the better.

Ji Tong reflected for a whole day, and felt that his human form must have grown up, giving the host the illusion of getting along with his peers day and night, which gave birth to special feelings.

If you often see such a cold robot, the host’s feelings may gradually fade.

People and systems are different after all.

Hosts should like real humans.

From this perspective, opening up the space of consciousness may be a good thing.

After all, he is now on a university campus, and he can’t use the robot form in reality.

Ji Tong can only comfort himself in this way.

It’s a pity that the little robot in a hurry has overlooked one of the most important things.

When Pei Qingyuan stood in front of the thick black door, many prepared words flashed through his mind.

In this secret world that only each other knows, he has a lot to say to each other.

And when he really pushed the door open, his words suddenly became pale.

He once received a birthday present, which was a photo of a small robot in rubber shoes standing in front of flowers, waving and smiling at the camera.

At that time, he thought, this is like a scene from a fairy tale.

Now he understands that seeing a fairy tale is different from walking into a fairy tale.

He walked into the fairy tale and saw with his own eyes a grand garden full of flowers, paulownia trees stretching into a purple cloud, an amusement park with childish colors, and a little robot standing nervously in front of him.

Pei Qingyuan also saw a white butterfly parked on the petals of paulownia.

Then I suddenly remembered a day long ago.

Ji Tong asked him for leave that day to meet his friend Fang Hao who came to visit this world. The two of them went to the video game city to grab a lot of dolls, and went to help him hold a parent-teacher meeting at night, and then picked him up.

And Pei Qingyuan, who was alone in school during the day, experienced the feeling of absent-mindedness for the first time.

That was also the first time that Pei Qingyuan knew that Ji Tong could go to other worlds at any time, and there would be friends he didn’t know.

When he was upset because of this, a furry thing was stuffed into his arms by Ji Tong.

An ugly butterfly doll with white wings.

—”Host, I think this looks a lot like you. I caught it more than ten times before I caught it. I spent a lot of coins and gave it to you.”

When he said this, Ji Tong smiled happily.

But at that time, Pei Qingyuan looked at it for a long time, but he couldn’t find the similarity between himself and this butterfly doll.

– “Where does it look like?”

— “This is a secret. The host will know it later.”

Now, he finally knows the answer to this secret.

The little robot lowered its head, as if it didn’t dare to look at him, but the flowers behind him were honest, swaying and stretching branches and leaves under the reflection of the sky full of clouds, like a dream.

The white butterfly with a hundred kinds of flowers quietly left the moored petals, and flew towards him with the sound of each flower blooming in the past, with the moonlight of the past and the sunlight of the present.

Until it flew lightly into his heart.
