When Jian Dan’s assistant came by, Chen You was squatting on the floor of the warehouse unpacking a shipment.

He was cutting open a box when he saw the visitor and accidentally nicked his hand.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

A bad premonition emerged from Chen You’s heart as he applied pressure to his bleeding finger.

“Zhang Zhu, what can I do for you?” 7Yu2dX

Zhang Zhu said, “Follow me to the boss’s office.”

Chen You said, “Can I find something to wrap this wound first?”

Zhang Zhu motioned for him to hurry up.

Chen You went over to his backpack and pulled out the first aid kit. Didn’t we part just this morning? What does he need from me now?

PZCxg6

He sighed. Jian Dan seemed to be moody. Psychopaths are abnormal. I don’t know what kind of demon he’ll turn out to be.

Once they arrived at the office, Zhang Zhu asked Chen You to wait and warned, “Don’t sit down, don’t make a mess. Don’t wander around. And don’t touch anything.”

Chen You looked at his dirty work clothes. “Got it.”

He stood where he was and didn’t move a step. IdbKcQ

Was anything even worth touching? He had seen and played around in an office much bigger than this.

Chen You told the system in his mind, “My eyelids have been twitching ever since Jian Dan’s assistant appeared.”

The system replied, “You probably didn’t sleep well.”

Chen You was skeptical. “Is that really the reason?” H4RGp

The system responded, “Of course.”

Chen You said, “The only thing I’ve ever heard about not sleeping well is that you’ll get a headache and might feel weak. I’ve never heard anything about it causing twitching eyelids.”

The system retorted, “That’s because you don’t know enough.”

Chen You, “…” Can’t we have a nice conversation? All of a sudden our relationship is strained. Can’t we have fun together like we used to? l4svNh

The system abruptly commented, “Say your prayers, ba.”

Chen You breathing turned strained as his scalp went numb, “Fuck, can you not say those three words in the future?”

The system declared, “No.”

Chen You’s mouth twitched as his eyes spasmed even more. He pinched his eyelids. “You’re just like Jian Dan. You’re both beasts.” hG0aHB

The system said, “Don’t come to me later, then.”

Chen You backtracked, “You’re angry? I was praising you just now.”

The system replied, “Program maintenance.”

Chen You shook his head and complained, “Your software is really bad. It’s always either maintenance or system error. Sooner or later your program will collapse.” hl1VkS

The system stated, “It has collapsed more than once.”

“That’s enough,” Chen You was speechless. “Don’t wait until I’ve completed all the tasks to suddenly lose data.”

The system said, “Say your prayers….”

He couldn’t hear the word prayer anymore. He’d become flustered if he heard it and would feel particularly powerless.

Ai, Older Cousin, Aunt and Uncle would go crazy if they knew you gave them so much face in this parallel world.

As his eyes flashed over the youth, Jian Dan’s eyebrows furrowed a little. 9GDjIx

Zheng Ze walked up to the witness and stood in front of him, a tall and robust man with a weak opponent.

“What are you staring at me for?”

Chen You pursed his lips and replied in a sincere tone, “You feel familiar.”

Zheng Ze laughed and said it was the first time anyone had said that to him. NTvd1W

Jian Dan also laughed. “Gu Sheng, you and Officer Zheng need to take a trip to the police station.”

Chen You’s complexion changed.

What the hell? The police station? Why do I need to go?

He looked nervous and puzzled, “The police station?” dcP8re

Zheng Ze’s face twitched slightly. Law-abiding? Buster, I didn’t see anything in your profile to imply that.

“Take it easy, we just want your help.”

Chen You became even more keyed up. He subconsciously glanced over at the man sitting in a leather chair.

Jian Dan lit a cigarette and looked up at the youth. “I don’t think you look so good. You don’t have to come back to work in the afternoon.” VeKuXG

Chen You was terrified by the target’s gaze. Boss, rest assured, I will never betray you!

“Thank you, boss.”

Jian Dan took a drag of smoke and flicked his cigarette, before raising his head to watch Zheng Ze take the young man away.

Zheng Ze’s eyes flashed as he noticed something subtle. Jo0Tp3

He went over to Jian Dan’s desk. With one hand propped against the desk, Zheng Ze leaned towards Jian Dan and whispered, “Old Jian, who exactly am I talking to? Why don’t you make things clear?”

From the back, Chen You managed to catch the gist of it. Older cousin, one day you’ll find out that your good brother really didn’t tell you much.

So much that you’ll doubt life.

Jian Dan replied in a puzzled tone, “How did you notice?” ziIThx

“You should already know the answer to that.” Zheng Ze said, “When I mentioned Gu Sheng in the restaurant earlier, you were too stunned to hide it.”

He suppressed his voice even lower, “So, you’ve already made this young man one of your people early on.”

“Not that early on,” Jian Dan said faintly, “We only slept together last night.”

Zheng Ze gave a thumbs up, “Impressive.” gWpQtS

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of him and make sure to hand him back to you completely intact.”

Jian Dan exhaled a puff of smoke, his voice muffled. “He’s stubborn. Don’t be too hard on him.”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Zheng Ze said “I know. It’ll be fine. I’ll take him away now.”

As he walked to the door, Chen You turned his head back to see the man sitting in the black leather chair. He thought that, behind the haze of smoke, there must be a pair of dark, unfathomable eyes. mPQ3Zy

When he got to the Bureau, Chen You realized what was going on. He lowered his eyelids and concealed his emotions.

What the hell, how could the original owner be involved in a case? There was nothing like that in his memories.

Chen You said, “I don’t remember.”

Zheng Ze pushed his notes over. “Does this refresh your memory?” 6dJ9R1

Chen You looked at the notes and shook his head. “Sorry Officer Zheng, I really forgot.”

Zheng Ze stared at the youth. His gaze became extremely sharp, leaving Chen You no place to hide. “It’s the duty of every citizen to cooperate with the police.”

In an effort to comply, Chen You looked down and seriously tried to think.

Zheng Ze leaned back in his chair, waited patiently, and appraised the young man. eYcTBm

According to his records, Gu Sheng had been brought into the police station twice, both times for fighting.

But the youth in front of him was very well-behaved. He had a slightly different atmosphere compared to his previous photos.

Chen You scratched his head and dug through the original owner’s memories.

“Officer Zheng, I was hit by a car in March and my head got injured. My memory is very faulty.” BSEuaO

Zheng Ze went out for a moment and immediately sent someone to investigate. It was as the youth claimed, he was indeed hit by a car in March.

The diagnosis and treatment results of the hospital were also checked. The report confirmed that it was a head injury where the patient had memory loss and the sequela was undetermined.

Zheng Ze rubbed his face. Was this just a waste of time?

He scratched his hair irritably and went out to smoke half a cigarette before returning to the office. PsknEy

“What do you think?”

“I still can’t remember anything,” Chen You said, “I’ll keep this in mind, though. If I remember anything, I’ll definitely tell Officer Zheng.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Zheng Ze patted the young man on the shoulder and squeezed it, “Your memory is likely to be the key to the case.”

Chen You’s shoulder hurt where it had been grabbed. I’m finished. Jian Dan doesn’t think I saw him killing people, right? 6IE3y4

Anxious to leave, Chen You walked to the side of the road and took out his mobile phone to search the North River, where the first scene of the homicide case was.

Many reports said that the deceased was a laid off worker in his fifties. The fatal injury was a wound on his neck that was administered by a sharp weapon.

His whole body was covered in injuries, the autopsy showing that they were inflicted after the fatal wound to the neck.

In other words, after the victim was killed, the murderer kicked and beat them for a long time after. SIYKyO

It was a twisted and abnormal behavior, as if he was venting his anger.

Chen You researched a bit further. The relatives of the deceased said that he was in good health and everything had been going fine for him. No one had a vendetta against him.

Chen You closed the tab, cleared the browser history, shut his phone, and then returned to the company as if nothing had happened.

Zhang Zhu was waiting on the first floor. When he saw Chen You he led him upstairs. yGSr6L

In the elevator, Chen You noticed Zhang Zhu secretly peeking at him. He felt like eighty percent of the time, that was what he looked like. Could it have been noticed by Jian Dan?

He turned a blind eye to it.

Standing in front of Jian Dan, Chen You related, “Official Zheng asked me if I remember going to the North River on February 26 and if I saw anything.”

Jian Dan flipped through documents. “He hasn’t found any clues. I hope you can provide some this time.” vKt7wR

Chen You said distressedly, “But I don’t remember, I have no recollection at all.”

Jian Dan stopped flipping through the file and frowned, “Why’s that?”

It all depends on my acting skills, right? Chen You explained that he had no idea. “I got hurt and lost a lot of my memory.”

Jian Dan comforted him, “Don’t be discouraged, think about it more. If you remember anything, tell me. I’ll convey it for you.” 5bkLtl

Chen You said, “Okay.”

He donned an uneasy expression and told Jian Dan everything that happened at the police station. Normally, people wouldn’t think that nothing had happened.

Jian Dan continued flipping through papers. “Go home and rest.”

“I didn’t know you had bad kidneys that made you incontinent, I’m sorry.” 8XbNa0

Chen You stormed out quickly and slammed the door.

The corners of Jian Dan’s lips curved as he smiled. Then the arc disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Chen You went back to his apartment and didn’t go back to work for a few days. At home, he felt more dead than alive.

Xu Ling dropped by and had a lot to say, “Give this teddy bear to Boss Jian.” Ccq Uo

Chen You cried blood. Little sister, you overestimate your IQ and treat me as a fool. Getting me to help you chase the boss, is this really a good idea?

“Ah-Sheng, don’t forget that you said you hoped I would have a happy life.” Xu Ling continued, “Now, there’s an opportunity to change my life.”

What she was saying was her genuine wishes, she had no other thoughts at all. “I remember you said that Jian Dan was your senior. You went out drinking together the other night, which shows that he doesn’t mind your presence. Ah-Sheng, if you can work together with him, I can be confident at home.”

Chen You couldn’t refute. acECNd

Younger sister, hurry up and leave. I don’t want to talk to you, really.

Xu Ling couldn’t hear Chen You’s heartfelt pleas and willfully ignored his antipathy. “Well, you’d better go to the hospital to see a doctor. It’s a significant concern that your kidneys aren’t doing well.”

Chen You said, “Lingling, let’s break up.”

However, Xu Ling kept a straight face, acting as if she was a big sister who was being tolerant and understanding, “Don’t be angry.” h BiXK

Chen You, “…”

Fuck, he hadn’t been in a relationship before. Is it normally this troublesome trying to break up? What else could he say? “This isn’t just me being angry. I’m serious. Lingling, we’re not suitable.”

Xu Ling laughed, “Ultimately, aren’t you just angry?”

She sighed, “Oh you. You just overthink and feel pressured being together with me. I know. Regardless, we should cherish each other’s feelings, don’t you think so?” Ay3WZB

Chen You wanted to swear.

Sister, you’re also an abnormal flower.

Xu Ling said, “Ah-Sheng, do you have General Manager Jian’s contact information? A friend of mine wants to go to Mingrui…”

He slammed the door shut. UkXYRZ

Chen You threw the teddy bear on the ground. It laid there for a moment before he picked it up. He squinted, thought of something, then snorted twice.

Feeling much better, Chen You went to the kitchen. After boiling water and making some instant instant noodles, he took a nice nap.

That night, he went to the company and handed the teddy bear in his arms to Jian Dan.

Jian Dan froze slightly, “Is this from you?” h0mQKe

Chen You said, “It’s not me, Xu Ling asked me to bring it to you.”

Jian Dan threw it in the trash can.

Chen You, “…”

  1. Love that😂

    Ml really just dumped it in the garbage😂😂

    Now if only breaking up with that girl was that easy🤔

  2. Ooh sounds like theres more to this than what it really looks like?

    Oh, and there are some sentences in Chinese before the translated ones:

    1) 也笑了笑,“Gu Sheng,你跟郑警官去一趟局里。

    2) “还明知故问。”说,“在餐馆我提到Gu Sheng,你愣是瞒的严实。”

    Thanks for the chapter~

  3. Ugh, can’t the system be a little more professional and not be such an asshole?? It’s not like it’s Chen You’s fault that he has to sleep with the ml in every world. Moreover, it’s the system’s fault that Chen Youis completely clueless in this world in the first place. And didn’t Chen You always succeed in every world so far? Can’t the system just be nicer or at least cooperative? It’s so annoying🙄

  4. Wow first time I really hate a system in a system novel. I really hate this system. Why so harsh and unhelpful? I am curious to see when the blimming girlfriend will see the light of day.

  5. Everyone says hate the system but this system isn’t really evil and if I remember correctly, he said they changed their processor to an old brain delay to help the MC. Besides, I feel like there’s something strange about that particular system.

  6. Normally I would now sitting here scolding the system back down to the 18th layer … But I can’t. Because I have a premonition about the system. I won’t say anything, because I’m almost sure my guess should be accurate, but let me point out some facts:

    The system is ridiculing and hiding informations from MC
    Occassionally it disappears randomly without rhyme or reason, stating there are errors and stuff, or it has to look after other hosts
    A few chapters back there was a vague description of the system in humanoid form, remember?

    I want to point out something else, but that could be counted as a spoiler, so I won’t say it… Let’s wait and see if my guess is correct
