Chapter 107
Yuan Yuan’s approach was very purposeful.
Inside, it wasn’t a single alley but a maze of paths, intricate and complicated. Whenever Zhou Qi encountered a fork in the road, Yuan Yuan would deliberately create audible footsteps, so that Zhou Qi would choose the right fork despite his panic. It is difficult for people to think clearly when they are in a state of crisis and fear and when they have their right hand as the dominant hand, the body subconsciously chooses the the right path. This was the case for Zhou Qi.
Qin Zhou’s face took on a look of surprise. Every fork in the road went straight to the right. Zhou Qi would run into Cen Qian at the next fork in the path.
And when Zhou Qi made the last fork in the road choice, Yuan Yuan stopped in place.
She looked up, the hood tilting as she moved.
Then Zhou Qi screamed, very short but not any less shrill.
Zhou Qi had run across Cen Qian, who was abusing cats. It was this scene that had frightened him into screaming. He thought that he could get rid of the murderer following him as long as he kept moving forward. He never expected for such a scene to be waiting for him during his path to escape.
Zhou Qi was killed and the press release in his hand fell by Cen Qian’s feet. Cen Qian bent down to pick it up.
At the same time, Yuan Yuan straightened her hood, hiding her face a little deeper. She then turned and started to make her way out of the alley.
Qin Zhou leaned against the wall. His eyes followed Yuan Yuan’s retreating back.
Lin Yi still hadn’t shown up but Qin Zhou was actually relieved. If Lin Yi wasn’t going to come, he wouldn’t have to wait for him before pursuing Yuan Yuan.
After confirming that Lin Yi wasn’t about to appear in this time rewind, Qin Zhou once again set his sights on Yuan Yuan.
As Yuan Yuan walked out of the maze, she kept reaching out to pull the hood, as if worried that the wide hood wouldn’t hide her face. When she reached the mouth of the alley, compared to the speed at which she walked out of the alley, she made a barely discernible pause at this moment. However, she could no longer see anyone by the side of the trash bins so she turned right and departed.

It was still his ever familiar home. But now Lin Yi couldn’t tell whether this was his home or ‘It’s’ home.
There were people already inside the house –‘It’ and Yuan Yuan.
‘It’ had exactly the same face as Lin Yi. This time, ‘It’s’ face wasn’t the young version of him they’d seen last night but rather, ‘It’ now looked to be the same age as him. So the face was exactly the same.
But it was Yuan Yuan who made Lin Yi feel a little strange. Because Yuan Yuan was also about the same age as him at this time.
“You are the real Cen Qian, aren’t you?” Yuan Yuan asked ‘It’.
‘It’ gave no answer, simply looking gloomily at Yuan Yuan.
Black mist was flowing out of ‘It’s’ body, Lin Yi could see it and naturally, Yuan Yuan could see it too. This black mist was enough to prove ‘It’s’ identity as a Monster, creator of the Rule World, born of evil.
As a vice president of the student union, it was impossible for Yuan Yuan not to know this.
There was something else that Lin Yi picked up from Yuan Yuan’s wording of her question. It seemed that Yuan Yuan too had discovered the clue hidden in the closed time loop and successfully made it to the true time rewind. Now, Yuan Yuan was facing the 4-4 Monster.
It’s like a roll of movie tape being played. The movie protagonists were completely ignorant of their audience.
Lin Yi watched from the side.
‘It’ raised its head and looked at Yuan Yuan, a vicious expression on his face. But Yuan Yuan didn’t show the slightest fear. Instead, she looked at the calendar hanging on the wall and said, “Today is your birthday.”
‘It’ remained silent.
Yuan Yuan wasn’t discouraged when she didn’t get a response. She smiled at him.
Lin Yi has always known that Yuan Yuan was very beautiful, especially when she smiled, She was always dazzling, like a sunny day after the rain. Neighbors often said that Lin Yi and Yuan Yuan were very similar because Lin Yi gave people a gentle impression and Yuan Yuan was the same.
So Lin Yi was very aware of the power contained in Yuan Yuan’s smile. When Advisor Jiang Tao told Lin Yi about Yuan Yuan, he too mentioned that it was mostly because of Yuan Yuan’s smile that he had delayed his suicide.
Yuan Yuan’s role was to heal people’s hearts, including when she worked in the Student Union. She provided psychological counseling to students who were emotionally broken and encouraged them to have take courage and gain the confidence to live on. The Student Union will do everything possible to ensure the safety of the students.
Yuan Yuan was watching for ‘It’s’ reaction and said with a smile, “I’m right, aren’t I? Happy Birthday!”
‘It’ finally spoke, “No replay?”
Lin Yi too reckoned that since Yuan Yuan was able to find the 4-4 Monster, even calling ‘It’ by his name when he’d been alive, she must already know the entire main plot of the 4-4 Rule World. But as Lin Yi looked at Yuan Yuan, he could also tell that she had no intention of doing a Replay.
Yuan Yuan said, “I will do a Replay, of course, but only when absolutely necessary.”
‘It’ looked at Yuan Yuan coldly, human beings were ever cowardly. This was something he understood deeply about human beings. If it weren’t for his mother’s fear of being criticized for having given birth to him, he wouldn’t have had to suffer such a miserable life. He too had been cowardly as a human. Though he’d always disguised it as indifference, he knew clearly that what he was most afraid of was being called by others as the ‘son of a murderer’; that he had the same genes as a murderer, that a murderer’s blood coursed through his veins.
This was the first person to stand before him since he created this Rule World. It was very strange. ”It’ couldn’t understand why Yuan Yuan wouldn’t leave this place when she was so close. ‘It’ couldn’t understand how Yuan Yuan could still show such a bright smile in this sort of place. Before this smile, everything seemed to be inconsequential.
He stopped talking. The novelty and doubts caused by this situation made him decide not to move to eliminate this prey who already knew the main plot of this Rule World.
Yuan Yuan said, “Let’s make a deal.”
Yuan Yuan must already know that ‘It’ wouldn’t respond and so she simply pushed on, “I’ll stay here with you. I’ll spend every birthday with you. I came too hastily this year and hadn’t been able to prepare a gift or anything. I will definitely prepare a birthday present for you this time next year and I’ll eat cake with you. Oh, by the way, do you like strawberry cake? Or chocolate cake? The cake needs to use real buttercream. There’s no substitute for real buttercream. Or do you like to eat ice cream cake? Your birthday’s in summer and ice cream cake is the best for summer.”
‘It’: “……”
‘It’ didn’t have time to say anything. Yuan Yuan kept on talking as she moved closer to him. “This time next year, I can give you a bowl of noodles, longevity noodles. At noon, I’ll cook some of your favorite dishes for you. In the afternoon, we’ll go buy the ingredient for the cake. By the time the cake’s done, it should be dark and it’ll be time to eat the cake.”
“What do you think of my proposal?” Yuan Yuan asked with a smile, “Little Cen Qian.”
Lin Yi looked at Yuan Yuan. He noticed that Yuan Yuan’s pupils were trembling slightly. Yuan Yuan was actually afraid!
Lin Yi got nervous, his heart in his throat. He knew that Yuan Yuan talking so much was to ease her own fear just as much as it was to paint an enticing birthday picture for ‘It’, to get ‘It’ to experience what a birthday celebration would be like. After all, ‘It’ had never had the experience of celebrating his birthday with someone else.
Yuan Yuan was betting on ‘It’ being tempted by this proposition.
Lin Yi couldn’t help looking at ‘It’. Black mist still surged forth from ‘It’s’ body. Both Qin Zhou and Ou Ying had said that this black mist could be regarded as the Monster’s ‘evil’; the thicker the black mist, the more malice.
There was a lot of black mist surrounding ‘It’, like a dark cloud.
But ‘It’ lowered his head and said, after a long pause, “I don’t know how to bake a cake.”
Phew–
Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
‘It’ had been successfully enticed.
Yuan Yuan too calmly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She moved a little closer to ‘It’. This time, at her approached, he backed up a little, as if afraid that the black mist coming from him would contaminate Yuan Yuan’s body.
Yuan Yuan also noticed ‘It’s’ movement. This made it easy for her to come out with the rest of her proposition. She said, “So in exchange for spending your birthdays with you——”
Yuan Yuan’s smile narrowed a bit and she watched ‘It’ closely. “I want you to promise me to reduce the frequency of your appearance in the Unnatural Engineering University.”
