Transmigrating into the Reborn Male Lead's Ex-BoyfriendCh156 - Extra 1: I’m Your Good Friend

My name is Shun. Because I am System 002, everyone calls me ”Er” Shun. I am one of the tens of millions of systems generated from the main system.

Since I have the source material, I know many things in this world. The only thing I don’t know is where I come from. Other systems tell me that all systems are like this. CqFgRp

The main system told me I am meant to maintain the balance of the main world. So my duty is to find a host from the main world, and go to the small world to finish my task.

There are many kinds of small worlds, all of which are derived from the main world. Although they are derivatives, since the small world has been separated, we systems merely treat them as worlds with a different name.

I asked the main system, why is my name Shun?

The main system informed me that this identity was rooted in my heart. Only I would know why I had this name written in my system before my source materials were established. 78teX9

I am very confused. In fact, I have been very confused since I had my first source material. I don’t know who I am, nor do I know what I should do. Even if these seem to have their answers, the confusion is still here.

Why am I called Er Shun? Is it true that my original host gave me the name as other systems said? Then who was my original host? Have I already helped that person complete the mission? But why can’t I remember anything?

Other systems are unable to answer my question. They too have their own doubts and worries.

The data of the main world and all the other small worlds are free for us to peruse. We can obtain any knowledge we want at will, and it doesn’t take a certain amount of time to learn like humans. We only need to download the data and analyze it. We are able to determine within a short time what many humans would take a lifetime to learn and conclude.

But even though we seem to know everything, there are always unanswered questions.

I was always baffled by this. But when I met the first host I had in my memory, that sort of discombobulation gradually disappeared. After I interacted with him, he informed me:

—In this world, all things that can think for themselves, be it living or nonliving, have mysteries they are unable to solve.

This is normal. rDw4eS

Speaking of which, I would like to introduce my host, Song Xuanhe.

It’s a great name. As soon as I heard this name, a strong love stirred in my heart—if there exists a thing such as ‘feeling’ in a memory chip.

I like him very much, very very very much.

We had only met for the first time. But it seemed as though we had known each other for very long. I want to give him everything I can. I want to wrap him in a blanket, and I want to do everything I can for him. It’s that sort of feeling. sXg6Mf

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

In short, when I first met him, I knew he was my host.

Song Xuanhe is the person I need to get along with in the future. dUehHO

It is very strange. Before entering the main world, or perhaps before meeting Song Xuanhe, I thought that humans are not very interesting animals. But after I encountered him, I found how cute humans are.

Song Xuanhe is very cute. This is the only adjective I can find.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

In fact, he doesn’t seem to think so. It seems adult male humans do not like being described as ‘cute’, but even though I have a huge vocabulary, I can only describe him like this.

It’s just that I knew he wouldn’t be happy to be described like that, so I never told him how cute he was in my eyes. yIBiDS

Song Xuanhe once asked me why I chose him to enter another world.

I didn’t answer because I knew he wouldn’t believe me if I told him: the moment I saw you, I knew it was you. He would find this answer weird and absurd.

Actually, I’m also bewildered. Why did I know it was ‘him’ when I first sensed him?

This question remained as we continued to experience the small world together. 9vGwuT

During this time, I gradually got to know him and got used to him. I like him even more.

Having confronted so much together, it turns out that he deserves how much I like him.

This makes me very happy. But it also seems expected.

It is probably because I believe that Song Xuanhe could accomplish anything he puts his mind to. This sort of blind belief. v6yxwZ

I did not understand where this sense of mindless fondness and trust comes from, until I saw a drama. There, the mother and father exhibited this towards their child.

My Song Xuanhe is better, ten thousand times better than their child. He is better than any child in existence. I can bet on this using my first-class memory chip.

But after figuring this out, I have new doubts.

Why do I look at Song Xuanhe with the attitude of an elder? 45vQwr

It’s a pity that I couldn’t figure this out until the very end.

On the last, the very last day, Song Xuanhe was sitting with the person he liked outside the room. They were staring at the stars at night. The person he liked was the world’s protagonist. But there was something wrong with his body, and because it could not withstand that powerful soup, the other person was sleeping most of the time. That day was the same.

The world at that moment was very quiet.

But I feel very uncomfortable. 5ACDto

Because this was the first time I saw Song Xuanhe crying while awake. He was sobbing without a sound.

He asked me: Is there really no other way to save Xiao Yuanmu?

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

—Xiao Yuanmu was his mission target in this small world. They became lovers. Funny, I thought that he and Xiao Yuanmu were a good match. But after they really became partners, I think that Xiao Yuanmu was not good enough for my Song Xuanhe. ‘Good enough’ is a subjective matter, and I should not think like this. But I cannot help but think that. Later on, after reviewing the countless dramas I watched, I came to my answer. In an elder’s eyes, no one is good enough for their precious child.

Putting this aside, I will always recall how his eyelashes were weighed down with tears. That scene was too familiar, and I felt pained by this. KoRLJf

So I ignored the warning sound in my ears, and told Song Xuanhe what I had hidden from him initially – soul replenishment elixir.

Song Xuanhe was very clever, and quickly thought of the life conversion device. I had thought that he would link the two, but held a sliver of hope that he would not remember it.

But he still thought of it.

The warning alarm is getting louder, it is enough to pierce my eardrums – if I have them. KQL7EM

But the light in his eyes was brighter than the stars in the sky. They were unmatched in clearness, and full of vitality and hope – I will never reject this kind of ‘him’.

I ignored the sound of the siren, and told him how the life conversion device can be used.
He asked me: “I give half of my vitality to Xiao Yuanmu, can he survive?”

Of course you can, but I don’t want you to do that.

This sentence lingered in my heart for a long time. I wanted to blurt it out like this countless times, and even refuse his request, but no matter what, I cannot say this out loud.
The life conversion device can indeed solve the problem of Xiao Yuanmu’s limited lifespan. But in exchange, there would be irreversible and great harm to Song Xuanhe’s body. f9VOZy

Xiao Yuanmu is the protagonist of this small world. Even if the plot of the world has finished, his soul is still too strong for his body. If Song Xuanhe were to give his vitality to extend Xiao Yuanmu’s lifespan, the two would weakly go through life.

I can’t imagine Song Xuanhe’s frail appearance, and I can’t accept Song Xuanhe spending the rest of his life weakened – my Song Xuanhe would be unable to stay up past midnight working on his passion projects, he cannot carelessly skydive or ski, he cannot eat whatever he wants, or go wherever he wants, and cannot live freely.

However, I will never be able to refuse his request.

So I said: Yes. dBCm9W

As expected, Song Xuanhe was happy. He was willing to exchange for the life conversion device.

When Song Xuanhe spoke those words, the sound of the siren seemed to penetrate into my chip, trying to forcibly terminate my permission and force me to leave Song Xuanhe’s body in advance.

However, there was one last rule in the system manual: All goods in the system store was composed of system energy, and the host was able to access some of them, with the system able to access more. The ultimate exchange is monitored by the main system. (If the system were to force the exchange, an equivalent would be taken from the system. )

This means that I can force the exchange. FwGsDa

The time for me to separate from Song Xuanhe is getting closer and closer and the main system’s control over me is getting stronger. As I was extracted and data exchange became chaotic, I seemed to visualize what that name meant to me from the source material that slipped by.

— A chubby little boy waddled towards me, threw himself forward and hugged me. He started to giggle, showing two small front teeth, and mumbled a word: Shun…

There was a soft chuckle from behind the two of us. It was very tender and kind. Our baby He doesn’t even call us Mom and Dad! His first word was our Shunshun.

Of course I was the first one to be called. TA4qOp

Before any of you knew of his existence, I learnt who this little fellow was. That time, I swore on my nine lives that I would always take care of him.

Mom and Dad, I will take good care of him, even when you are not around.


The author has something to say: the first extra. I’ll have our baby He in a sweet extra later!

The translator has something to say: The word ‘host’ can be literally translated as ‘resident owner’. iM Y3m

Chinese word for ‘Two’

  4. It might be a little sad but this chapter is also beautiful. It’s touching. I guess that’s life, in art. sniff

    Thank you for sharing these lovely extras. It tied up the last few chapters of the main story which were kind of abrupt. 💕

  5. So the angst that the author was holding off on us was condensed in this chapter… 。⁠:゚⁠(⁠;⁠´⁠∩⁠`⁠;⁠)゚⁠:⁠。… Er Shun!!!!

  6. It was his cat. How adorable and yet funny the cat thought of himself as his elder. I love the idea though that in one of his lifes he became a system and still stayed by his side to protect him

  7. Oh. I did not expect this attack on my heart. Also, I just found out a few days ago that both cats & dogs think humans are cute. So this is extra devastating.

  8. noo what’s this. everytime I took a look away to stop my sobbing, it starts again when I resume reading. T-T

    thank you to the people who mentioned that SXH had a cat bcs I forgot. :’) i thought it was an elder brother or smth.

  9. Fakh, why are u doing this, author? The first half of this narrative, I thought that this whole time yuanmu is having a unrivalled love rival, the later I thought that poor yuanmu, the mother in law can’t accept him, but turn out its indeed the unrivalled love rival for him! Nothing can beat kitty’s love for it’s human! It’s hurt even more now, please let them be together!! Nooo system! Z48! I’m sorry that I called u are annoying and useless

  13. This whole chapter blew my mind lmao. I was busy thinking who that system real identity was; his mother, dad, or even best friend?

    No it was his CAT ༼⁠;⁠´⁠༎ຶ⁠ ⁠۝ ⁠༎ຶ⁠༽ !!! I never cried so much for a system. Heck I never cried over a system but.. this is a cute catto who’s sacrificing his lives for his beloved human and…!!! * go cries into a corners* (⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠)(⁠。⁠ノ⁠︿⁠\⁠。⁠)
