“Happy New Year, brother.” The stupid little kid sounded very happy, eyes glittering.

“Help me give this to your aunt, all right?” Wen Xiaqing handed another box to him.

The stupid little kid nodded his head. “Okay.”

“Go up now.”

“Goodbye, little brother.”

The stupid little kid disappeared into the house with the box. Wen Xiaqing moved his stiff feet and turned to leave.

Goodbye. 

Jiang Qiao.

Ming Shu watched Wen Xiaqing leave. She was trapped in a lot of trouble herself, how would she dare… accept his feelings.

“Aunt… Aunt, open the door!”

Ming Shu released the curtain and went to open the door. The stupid little kid passed over a box. “That little brother told me to give this to you.”

There were some snowflakes on it. Ming Shu took the box and opened it, but it was empty.

It was not that he had forgotten to put something in, it was only empty.

Why did Wen Xiaqing give this to her?

Several days later, Ming Shu was told that Wen Xiaqing had left.

Even the manager didn’t know where he had gone.

His phone couldn’t be reached, and he didn’t reply to emails. It seemed he just vanished.

After many years, Ming Shu met Jim at a photography exhibition abroad.

He took her to a certain place.

It was spring. The flowers were blooming, and the tombstones stood facing the sea.

He said: Qiaoqiao, I’ve decided what I want to do in the future. I don’t want to enter that circle. 

He also said: I’m too tired. 

She guessed so. How wouldn’t he be tired.

He suffered in silence by himself and didn’t tell anyone. How could he not feel tired.

On that night of the New Year, Wen Xiaqing just intended to see her for one last time.

Ming Shu touched the cold tombstone, and sighed after a long time, “But I’m not Jiang Qiao.”

After Ming Shu went back, she tore apart the box and found a postcard at the bottom.

It was a picture that Jiang Qiao shot for him a long time ago. The background should be the school, and the boy’s smile was very clean, as if he had hidden endless affection in his eyes.

There was a line written on the back of the photo—

You’re not there, but we are still under the same sky, and I will always be waiting for you in my sleep. 

One year later…

The talented photographer Jiang Qiao had the honor to win the photography Golden Awards for her works Obsession.

In the same year…

The photographer Jiang Qiao passed away.

At the cemetery…

Su Nanfeng and Yu Xiaohan came to pay a visit. He held Yu Xiaohan on the shoulder.

Yu Xiaohan forced a smile. “She was still young.”

Su Nanfeng sighed, pitiful and silent. “Let’s go.”

They left the cemetery. On the tombstone, the girl was smiling like a blooming flower—at the age of twenty-six.

After they walked away, a figure came from another direction. He placed the fresh flowers before the tombstone, stood still for a long time, and then left.

The way Ming Shu died this time was also abnormal. There was a power leak in the swimming pool, and she was electrocuted.

Why don’t you just strike me dead! 

What’s all this weirdness. 

Ming Shu returned to the cloud room and directly lay down on the cloud beside her.

The Harmony System pondered for a while, but it didn’t dare speak abruptly, so it just made the cloud screen show information.

Name: Ming Shu

Hatred Points: 380000

***: *****

Additional Task: Failed.

Hidden Task: Completed.

Ming Shu still didn’t ask the Harmony System anything. She lay there for quite a while, then waved to the Harmony System and moved on to the next world.

In a room made of silver metal, some men in white coats were examining a machine.

Ding—

The metal door opened.

A man with blond hair came in.

“Director.”

Everyone turned around at the same time and greeted him.

“How is it?”

One of the men in white coats wearing glasses went forward. “The main system has been repaired, but…”

The blond-haired man gave a cold look to the white-coat. “But what?”

The white-coat in glasses answered, “The main system crashed suddenly and several people couldn’t get back in time… We lost contact with them and I’m afraid they won’t wake up anymore.”

The blond-haired man didn’t seem to care. He looked at the only cabin in the room. “How is he?”

“Not good. Lord Nine has taken a very strange way and it seems he wanted to resist the mechanism of erasing memories. But the main system suddenly crashed, resulting in the current situation…”

The blond-haired man frowned. “Can he wake up?”

“Well…” The white-coat in glasses couldn’t promise anything. “If Lord Nine has been trapped, it’ll be very difficult for him to get out, as you know…”

“I want to see a solution in three days.”

The blond-haired man left the room after finishing this sentence, leaving all the others dumbfounded on the spot.

Three days…

How was it possible!

As soon as the blond-haired man walked out, he saw Luo Yan waiting for him in the corridor and said in a gloating tone, “He’s still in a coma?”

The blond-haired man looked at him with gloomy eyes.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Luo Yan measured himself from head to toe. “Do I look not right today?”

The blond-haired man squinted his eyes. “Luo Yan, I’ve told you not to touch him.”

Luo Yan seemed to be amused. “You suspect me? I was in the same world as him, Director, are you thinking too highly of me? But I’m glad to hear that, as I didn’t expect that I’m so powerful in your heart.”

The blond-haired man wanted to learn something from Luo Yan’s face, but this psychopath’s smile was hard to distinguish.

“If he dies, it won’t be good for any of us.”

Luo Yan shrugged carelessly.

Three days later, the blond-haired man still didn’t receive a solution.

There was a cloud of depression hanging over all the departments, and they all felt it coming from the director.

Especially the technical department. They were responsible for the whole main system, so they would take the blame for the crash as well as Lord Nine’s coma…

Why were they so unlucky!

“If we can’t think of a solution, the director is going to kick us out!” In the office, a group of people were anxious like ants in a hot pan.

“But we’ve tried every way that we could think of, what else can we do?”

“Don’t panic. If the director really takes action, he must start with the department head. We are all the elites of the technical department, he just can’t kick us out casually.”

“Right right right!”

The head of the technical department: “…”

“Hey, guys, what were you talking about?” A brisk voice came from the door.

Everyone looked over at the same time, but then some of them directly began to hide behind the others.

“Luo… Luo Yan, what are you doing here?” The technical department’s head even sounded tongue-tied. “Director has warned that you’re not allowed to enter the technical department.”

Luo Yan pointed to the tips of his feet that just touched the border and said smilingly, “I didn’t enter, so I’m not disobeying the director.”

The head of the technical department: “…”

Luo Yan continued smiling, harboring malicious intentions. “I just want to know, has Lord Nine woken up?”

The head of the technical department said stiffly, “Does it have anything to do with you?”

“Yes, of course. If he doesn’t wake up, I’ll be very glad.”

“…”

Concerning the grudges between Luo Yan and Lord Nine, there should be enough material to write a book of millions of words.

But as for what the specific grudge was… They didn’t seem to know.

Anyway, these two just enjoyed disliking each other.

When one of them had bad luck, the other would gloat over his misfortune, kick him when he was down, and celebrate…

“Dir… Director” the technical department’s head suddenly called and looked behind Luo Yan.

Luo Yan’s expression froze slightly, but then he turned around calmly and looked at the director.

The blond-haired man passed him while saying to the technical department’s head, “Make another transportation.”

The technical department’s head’s eyes widened. “Director… That’s too risky, what if…”

“Do you have a better idea?”

The head of the technology department shook his head.

“Well… where should we transfer him to?”

“X3459, Y452.”
