System didn’t seem to notice Shen Liang’s gnashing of teeth, instead, it flew happily towards him and hugged him, trying to rub itself against him, like a silly white candy: [Dear Host, I missed you too~]
Shen Liang turned his head awkwardly…
It was hard to face.
Although he was furious with System for disappearing without saying anything, Shen Liang still resisted the urge to hit him and asked, “Why did you suddenly come back?”
System finally let go of him and said a bit embarrassed: [Dear Host, I am here for a survey and a visit.]
As soon as he finished speaking, a translucent panel with five stars appeared in the air.
[You can evaluate my work. One star is the lowest, five stars are the highest~]
Shen Liang didn’t even want to give half a star, “…How many do you want?”
System approached excitedly, with the light shining until it blinded you: [Five, five! I want five little stars!
Shen Liang took a step back to avoid it, “Yes, but first you have to send me back.”
System reacted half-heartedly: [Go back? You mean to the world of the novel? Are you sure you want to go back?]
When Shen Liang heard that there was a possibility, his heart beat faster: “Hurry up and send me back, I’ll give you as many stars as you want!”
System was embarrassed: [But according to the rules, it’s not allowed!]
Shen Liang’s heart suddenly went cold, “Isn’t there another way?”
The System spun in the air: [Of course there is, when I left I went back to the starbase to ask the executive officer about you. If the host wants to stay in the novel world, it’s not impossible, but…]
Shen Liang was inexplicably nervous, “What?”
System became serious and said in a low voice: [Your body in the real world will enter a state of death, there is only one chance. If you choose to return to the novel world, you won’t be able to go back to the real world in the future.]
Shen Liang looked at him silently, and asked with some hesitation, “Can you tell me what happened to Shao Qinhan after I left?”
Once these words were uttered, the air was plunged into silence. System paused for a long moment before replying, [Don’t ask.]
After Shen Liang left, whether Shao Qinhan went mad or stupid, alive or dead, in the end, it didn’t matter. Because they knew in their hearts that once Shen Liang disappeared, there was only one path for him.
Ahead, a road of no return. Behind, a three-thousand-meter cliff drop.
Forward or backward, stop or go forward.
The outcome would not be good, so why bother to inquire into a story whose ending had already been guessed?
Just like long ago, when System repeated to Shen Liang: [Saving the villain doesn’t mean that he falls in love with you.]
If Shao Qinhan had not fallen in love with Shen Liang, the latter would have been able to leave cleanly.
Shen Liang closed his eyes and slowly exhaled a sigh, “Send me back…”
This choice might be difficult for others to accept, but Shen Liang, an orphan with no family, had nothing in this world that he cared about and valued.
He looked at System, “Just send me back.”
System was puzzled: [No regrets?]
Shen Liang shook his head, “No regrets.”
Since returning, he had not slept a single night. The one thing Shen Liang regretted most in his life was that novel.
System could only agree: [Good]
As soon as he finished speaking, the dazzling white light around his body slowly rose, looking like he was casting a spell. However, Shen Liang, uncertain of what he had been thinking about, suddenly interrupted him in an anxious voice, “Wait a moment…”
#The casting of the spell is forced to be interrupted#
The light around System dimmed again, [Do you regret it?]

Shen Liang suddenly remembered Chu Xinian’s novel entitled “A Thousand Years of Feud”, which he had not yet had time to review. At least we are friends, so let’s do one last thing for him before we go.
Shen Liang opened the manuscript of “A Thousand Years of Feud” and went through the general plot as fast as he could. The good thing was that Chu Xinian was thorough and organized, and the outline was neatly laid out, so it didn’t seem strenuous.
“Boring and long…”
Shen Liang found that Chu Xinian’s books were as boring as ever and could not bring freshness and excitement to the readers. He waved his pen, changed the beginning of the scenario in three or two strokes, and added some popular hot elements. Seeing that there was not enough time, he finished writing.
Shen Liang felt a sense of pity in his heart, there wasn’t enough time and he didn’t have time to change much. If he had enough time, he could have added some more interesting content.
After closing the manuscript, he placed it tidily on the table.
System was waiting next to him, he was about to fall asleep: [Have you finished?]
Shen Liang wanted to say that he had finished writing, but his eyes unintentionally glanced at the computer, and he said to System, “Wait a few more minutes for me.”
He sat down in front of his desk, then opened his computer and deftly logged into his author account. The comments section was still full of curses, except that there were still many readers waiting for him to change the ending.
Shen Liang hit the keyboard intending to say goodbye to his favorite readers, but after typing a bunch of words, he felt it was not right and deleted them all. After thinking about it, he finally typed a short sentence.
[Shao Qinhan’s ending has been changed.]
Shen Liang stared at the screen for a few seconds and then hit the send button, and it just so happened that a reader was online and immediately appeared to reply to him.
[Great, has Shao Qinhan’s ending been changed? I’m excited!]
This reader probably thought that Shen Liang was planning to revise the novel.
Shen Liang smiled and replied: [Well, changed!]
Yes, it has changed…
At this point, readers still did not understand what this statement meant.
They only knew that the author that day was very kind and did not rage at them in the comment section as before, answering all their questions and even responding to everyone with a touch of affection.
But then there was no more news.
After many years, they forgot this bloody story, and also the role of Shao Qinhan. But in the darkness of one night, they suddenly recalled vaguely that a hateful lying author owed them a good ending.
And after searching for it, they discovered that the author seems to have already closed the pen, and has not written any works since the end of “The Wrong Way of Love”.
But in fact, the story had already changed.
Only that the story cannot be known to the public, and readers were still waiting for an ending that was not meant to be written.
System floated in the air, and when he saw that Shen Liang had finally finished saying goodbye to everyone, the light around him shone brightly, enveloping his whole body.
Shen Liang could not see clearly, a white aura was in front of him. He looked around for the figure of System, but his vision began to spin as if something was gradually detaching itself from his brain. His consciousness went into a trance.
The voice of System rang in his ears, distant but close: [When you left last time, it was 6 am on September 17. I adjusted the time to send you to that moment…]
In this way, Shen Liang would not have to face everything that happened after your departure.
Shen Liang’s eyelids were heavy, and with the last remaining trace of consciousness, he nodded with difficulty.
System sighed and sent Shen Liang back. The scene around him changed and flipped, and he returned to the early morning after that hangover.
Two men were cuddling warmly in bed. The curtains were tightly closed, but a ray of sunlight inevitably filtered through, shining on his eyelids.
Shen Liang’s fingers trembled, but he felt that his eyelids were heavy as a ton. He had a terrible headache and opened his eyes with great effort, but after a while, he noticed that there seemed to be a person in his arms, and when he looked down, he saw that it was Shao Qinhan.
The man was sleeping soundly, his eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes, and his features were deep and beautiful. Only that, compared to before, the frost on his body showed signs of melting, and the mist was lighter.
Shen Liang feared that it was a dream, so he unconsciously held his breath when he saw him. He carefully reached out his hand and touched Shao Qinhan’s warm face, the touch was real, and finally, his tense heart relaxed.
It is real!
Shen Liang’s heart was filled with joy, he couldn’t help but tighten his embrace, feeling the warm body in his arms, he inexplicably had a feeling of being lost and then found.
System was hiding behind the curtain, but when he saw this, he calmly flew out: [Hehehehehe, are you satisfied?]
Shen Liang nodded and smiled, “Thank you.”
System stepped forward and urged like a child begging for candy: [I don’t want thanks, I want little stars, little stars, and five of them~]
Shen Liang wasn’t going to break his word, he gave System five stars as promised, but he was still worried, “I won’t disappear again, will I?”
System denied: [Don’t worry, you won’t~]
“That’s good.”
Shen Liang finished all the questions he was supposed to ask and ended up silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.
But System took the initiative to speak: [Host, it’s time for me to go]
Shen Liang looked up unconsciously, “Where to?”
System spun around in circles and shouted an ordinary sentence with an air of saving the world: [I’m going to find the next unscrupulous author and save those wretched villains!]
Shen Liang seemed to understand, “I thought I was your only host, it turns out you have a second and a third.”
System thought he was jealous and said with a smile: [Dear Host, you will always be my best friend~]
Shen Liang thought; what a friend, “We’ve known each other for so long, but you still haven’t told me your name, what’s your name?”
This sentence was like pouring a pitcher of cold water on his head. System immediately shut down, he stammered: [Name… name, umm….]
Shen Liang, “Well?”
System’s voice was muffled: [I-I have to think about it…]
Shen Liang was surprised, “You have to think of your name? You won’t fool me with a fake one, will you?”
System was exposed and didn’t know what to say. Faced with Shen Liang’s repeated questions, he could only be forced to reveal his real name quickly: [My name is xxx….]
The last words were smaller than a fly.
Shen Liang did not hear, “What is your name?”
System blushed, turning from a white diamond to a pink diamond and leaning toward a red diamond: [Little King Kong…]
He squirmed and repeated: [My name is Little King Kong…]
Shen Liang was stunned, “…”
＃Are you the legendary diamond king?＃
Under System’s gaze, Shen Liang bit his tongue so that he could barely blurt out a sentence, “Not bad…”
He said dryly, “The name sounds very elegant.”
System became even more bashful: [Really?]
Shen Liang pinched his nose and nodded his head, “Really.”
System felt a little more comfortable. He looked at the time and found that the rift in time and space was about to close, and said to Shen Liang: [Dear Host, I have to go now~]
Shen Liang felt a little sad, but still smiled, “Goodbye.”
System slowly flew out of the window and disappeared, scattering into a stream of small dots of light, finally fading into the early morning clouds.
A scattered voice rang in Shen Liang’s ears.
[Ding, the villain’s blackening degree has been successfully cleared to zero, congratulations to the Host for the successful rescue. System has been unlinked, I wish you a happy journey~]
It is good that it has been cleared.
Shen Liang looked at the person in his arms again and couldn’t resist pinching Shao Qinhan’s nose, successfully waking him up.
“Hmm…”
Shao Qinhan was always quick to wake up, he opened his eyes in a daze, saw that it was Shen Liang disturbing him, and closed his eyes again and buried his face in his arms.
Shen Liang hugged him tightly and whispered, “Get up.”
Shao Qinhan did not move, hugging him tightly without letting go.
Shen Liang remembered that last time he had left unexpectedly, and there were many things he had not had time to tell Shao Qinhan, so he decided to tell them first just in case. After pondering for a moment, he whispered, “Shao Qinhan, I like you.”
This was something he should have said a long time ago, but he didn’t dare.
The person in his arms slowly opened his eyes, and a smile seemed to flicker under his deep gaze as he snorted and closed his eyes again, “En, I know.”
Shen Liang completely forgot what he said when he was drunk, and said with surprise, “How do you know?”
When a person hears a confession, shouldn’t he get excited and thrilled? Why was Shao Qinhan so calm?
Shao Qinhan, “Because you said so last night.”
Shen Liang’s body tensed at his words, his brain went blank, he tried to remember but found nothing, and awkwardly denied, “I-I didn’t say it.”
“You did.” Shao Qinhan looked at him, “I recorded it, do you want to listen to it?”
Shen Liang’s expression cracked, “…”
He still had some notion of his tolerance for alcohol, he would do crazy things when getting drunk. It’s not scary to get drunk, what’s scary was having someone to help you remember everything the next morning.
Seeing this, Shao Qinhan couldn’t help but curl his lips, bowed his head, and kissed Shen Liang, whispering, “I lied.”
It doesn’t matter whether it’s a lie or not, what matters is that what was said was true.
Shen Liang squeezed him in his arms and murmured, “Don’t lie to me in the future.”
Shao Qinhan suddenly asked him in a low voice, “Then don’t leave in the future, okay?”
“Shen Liang, I had a dream yesterday.”
“I dreamt that you were leaving and then I died…”
Shen Liang unconsciously covered his mouth and denied, “I didn’t leave.”
Shao Qinhan was surprised but did not resist. A pair of black, transparent eyes looked at him with quivering eyelashes.
Shen Liang lowered his head and kissed the corners of his eyes, “I will be with you from now on.”
Shao Qinhan closed his eyes and nodded.
The morning light outside was gentle and warm, as comforting as spring. The so-called villain does not ask for much.
In his life, his only wish is to find true love, someone to trust in his long journey, and if that person turns out to love him in return, then nothing could be better.
…
kuro_kama: I feel that the last line is so true. Whenever I watch romance movies or read novels, I feel that the villain wouldn’t be a villain if the FL/MC loved them back. Most of the time I end up rooting for villains.
rottenmindedbigsis: sometimes villains are better, aren’t they?
Good, good! They are all happy as they should be!! 🥹💖💖💖
I’ll miss this arc
Sometimes MCs and the flower protectors are only “good” because of POV bias since the story is usually told by them.
So sweet 😭♥ and agreed about the so-called ‘villains’. Everyone deserves a special someone in their lives, not just the ‘good guys’
Aww I’ll miss them .·´¯

That arch broke my heart and then watered the shards with honey
😭😭😭😭😭 I cried so much when I read this chapter so touching .Don’t misunderstand me i feeld touched by Shen Liang and Shao Qinhan but what touched me the most is brotherhood between Shen Liang and Chu Xinian really touching 🥺🥺🥺 he even dug a pit in his manuscript and even recommended him to little KingKong 🥺🥺🥺 very touching 😏😏😏
i’ve cried so much… He won’t leave you! no more! he’ll stay
