'Shut up, you're not allowed to mention Jiang Jiang.'
If you just say "I love you" to Jiang Cuo once today, the system integration will reach 100%.
Su Qianqian meticulously prepared a candlelight dinner in her dormitory, intending to solemnly confess her feelings to Jiang Cuo in person.
But when Su Qianqian was all ready, Jiang Cuo hadn't returned. She glanced at her phone and saw it was already past seven.
Su Qianqian's heart suddenly pounded like a drum, and she felt a little palpitated.
I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen. This feeling has lasted for a year and a half. It comes up from time to time, but nothing has actually happened.
Just then, she received a message on her phone, which was sent by Hua Kongque.
Hua Kongque: [Su Qianqian, it seems Jiang Cuo is going abroad. The rankings for the first semester's final speech contest are out, and she seems to have won a spot to study abroad and has chosen to leave. Her flight is tonight. Didn't Jiang Cuo tell you? I just saw her with her backpack, taking a taxi, I think she was heading towards the airport.]
Upon seeing this message, Su Qianqian felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head and down to her feet, chilling her to the bone.
Hua Kongque: [I don't care whether you believe it or not, but I just overheard it in the principal's office. I hesitated for a moment before telling you. I followed Jiang Cuo the whole time and saw him leave in a taxi with my own eyes.]
Hua Kongque squatted at the school gate, looking regretful. She really shouldn't have messaged Su Qianqian. Why did she have to meddle in other people's business?
Lu Rong follows Su Qianqian and Jiang Cuo around like a shadow every day. If Jiang Cuo goes abroad, wouldn't Lu Rong have one less person to follow? Maybe he'll be able to see her then.
But Hua Kongque took out her little hand again, afraid that she was unwilling to bite it. However, Su Qianqian and Jiang Cuo were really sweet, sob sob sob, she couldn't bear not to tell them.
After a few seconds of stunned silence, Su Qianqian shakily pulled out her phone and immediately sent a message to Jiang Cuo.
But no one replies to my messages, and my phone is switched off when I call.
[Waste System: It seems that host Jiang Cuo has really left, because the system detected that the host is now far away from Jiang Cuo, and Jiang Cuo is moving in the opposite direction from the host.]
Su Qianqian didn't understand why Jiang Cuo left so suddenly, without any warning.
Jiang Cuo went abroad? Why did he go abroad?
They had never discussed this topic in their daily interactions. Even if she wanted to go abroad, she could have gone with Jiang Cuo. Even if the school only had one spot, she could have accompanied Jiang Cuo and paid for it herself. Why did they have to part ways? Why did he leave so casually without even saying goodbye, never caring about her at all?
Meanwhile, Lu Rong was standing outside Su Qianqian's dormitory, hesitating whether to knock on the door, because she had received a message from Jiang Cuo half an hour earlier.
Jiang Cuo told her that she was going abroad and that she could only tell Su Qianqian after the plane landed.
Lu Rong didn't understand why Jiang Cuo did this.
But I heard a great deal of panic coming from the dormitory, with loud noises of things being knocked over and scattered on the floor.
She didn't have the courage to open the door, because it had been half an hour since Jiang Cuo had sent her the message.
She didn't know if Su Qianqian would blame her, and what hurt her even more was that the couple that seemed destined for a happy ending just a moment ago suddenly ended in a tragic one.
[Waste System: Host, you need to say "I love you" to Jiang Cuo once for the system time to reach 100% integration.]
However, the "I love you" message conveyed by the host must be received by Jiang Cuo, even if it's just a text message, as long as Jiang Cuo has read it.
Su Qianqian immediately pushed open the door and called the housekeeper to catch up with Jiang Cuo as quickly as possible.
However, half an hour is enough time to get to the airport, and there are only 20 minutes left before check-in time.
The flower harbinger, still squatting and crying at the school gate, saw a black car speeding away from the school gate.
Hua Kongque looked up and instantly saw Su Qianqian in the passenger seat.
The news that Jiang Cuo had chosen to go abroad suddenly spread in the school's group chat, and everyone thought their reputation had been ruined and started criticizing him.
Hua Kongque frowned, disapproving of this opportunistic behavior, and spoke directly in the group.
Flower-shaped Sparrow: [Don't speak recklessly without knowing the facts. If you continue to spout nonsense, you'll be banned from speaking for three days.]
Flower Bird Sparrow: [Just focus on your own work and don't gossip about your seniors.]
Flower-shaped Sparrow: [Besides, what does it have to do with you two if other people's couples are having a fight?]
Hua Kongque was, after all, the student council president, and her words carried considerable weight. The group chat fell silent instantly.
However, the rumor that Su Qianqian and Jiang Cuo were together was just that—rumor. There was no concrete evidence. But Hua Kongque's words made everyone even more excited, and they felt that it must be true.
Su Qianqian frowned; she was in an extremely bad mood at the moment.
The perfectly sunny day, mirroring her mood, also began to darken.
The light rain gradually turned into a downpour, pattering against the car windows.
Even after thinking about it the whole way, Su Qianqian still couldn't understand why Jiang Cuo would do such a thing.
Even though the butler used the fastest speed, he still stopped at the airport entrance because the car couldn't go in.
So the airport staff escorted Su Qianqian to the boarding gate.
This kind of drama is rare, happening only twice a year.
When couples argue and have a falling out, one person wants to leave, while the other tries to keep them.
In a world obsessed with romance, all the airport staff eagerly awaited this day.
As Su Qianqian ran through the airport with a gloomy face, the staff members collectively took out sunflower seeds and stools, ready to watch the show.
When Su Qianqian left the airport and arrived at the boarding gate, the sky outside was already terribly gloomy, and a torrential downpour began.
Su Qianqian ran towards the boarding gate. There was only one person left waiting to check in. If she ran fast enough, she would definitely be able to catch the plane.
With the rain so heavy, even in a system world, there should be some logic, right? Shouldn't flights be delayed and planes be unable to fly?
[Useless System: Sorry, host, in the current storyline, Jiang Cuo is the main protagonist, and the system cannot stop him from leaving the storyline.]
Su Qianqian braved the heavy rain and ran towards the plane with all her might.
Jiang Cuo had already turned off his phone. Sitting by the small window of the plane, he inadvertently turned his head and unexpectedly saw a small moving dot in the dark rain. He squinted his phoenix eyes and took a closer look. It turned out to be Su Qianqian who had chased after him.
The scene was surprisingly familiar, somewhat overlapping with the scene of a torrential downpour a year and a half ago.
Jiang Cuo clenched his fists tightly, as if trying his best to suppress his emotions.
She has to go abroad.
She has already reached an agreement with Jiu You.
She wanted to prove to Su Qianqian that she could stand shoulder to shoulder with her, instead of needing to be constantly protected in her arms.
Besides, Su Qianqian loves her so much, what's wrong with waiting for her for two years?
In the past year and a half, she had acted so capriciously, and Su Qianqian had tolerated every single one of them.
Su Qianqian always spoiled her with a smile. Since she had spoiled her, she should bear the consequences of spoiling her.
Su Qianqian has been harassing her for three years. They had made a pact back then, where she was initially unmoved and each got what they wanted. Now that things have progressed to this point, she feels no guilt.
Besides, Su Qianqian likes her so much, isn't it a wonderful thing to be able to get her?
It's only been two years, but Su Qianqian will definitely miss her even more because of her departure.
Although her phone is off now, Su Qianqian might rush over as soon as her plane lands.
She didn't care whether Su Qianqian would follow her or not, she was determined to leave.
She wasn't afraid; Su Qianqian would never love anyone else in her life except her.
When she comes back, Su Qianqian will only go even crazier.
Jiang Cuo watched as Su Qianqian ran wildly through the heavy rain, her clothes disheveled. Although he couldn't see her expression clearly, he could tell that Su Qianqian was pleading, and her mouth was wide open as she muttered something, with rainwater constantly pouring into her mouth.
The rain was so heavy that Su Qianqian couldn't see the road ahead. She tripped over her own foot and fell heavily to the ground. At that moment, the plane took off. Jiang Cuo forced himself to turn his head away, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. Just as he had expected, Su Qianqian would know in advance and would do everything in her power to catch up with her, even if she was covered in dirt and there was no way back. Su Qianqian would still choose her with such determination.
Su Qianqian stared blankly at the plane flying away in front of her. The huge roar reverberated in her ears. At that moment, she felt like she was going deaf. Su Qianqian lay in the puddle, never feeling so tired. It was as if all the strength in her body had been drained away. The torrential rain hit her body, each pound feeling like a thousand pounds, making her feel so painful that she couldn't breathe.
A delicate little hand was wrapped around her neck and pressed firmly against her throat.
Like the sweetest candy suddenly turning into a sharp blade, delivering a heavy blow to her.
[Waste System: Congratulations, host! You have reached 100 green mood points ten times. The system is now fulfilling your request and restoring the six months of storyline memories you skipped. Please wait three minutes.]
[Waste System: A friendly reminder that during the memory recovery process, the host may experience symptoms such as a feverish head and sharp pain in the temples. Please do not panic.]
Su Qianqian was ice-cold all over, lying in the puddle, a weak smile on her lips. There couldn't be anything worse for her than this.
[Waste System: Okay, the host is transferring memory fragments to the host.]
Su Qianqian felt waves of excruciating pain in her head, like being slowly tortured to death, or like having her bone scraped to remove poison. Without anesthesia, a blade was cutting along her skull, one cut at a time, with each cut accompanied by a video clip. The pain was so intense that Su Qianqian couldn't help but raise her head and start screaming wildly to release her emotions, but all her screams were drowned out by the raging rain.
Memories flooded into Su Qianqian's mind, and some things she didn't understand and disjointed words suddenly seemed to become coherent.
[Waste System: Warmly remind the host that Jiang Cuo has left the story map. The host's integration with this system's world is 99.99%. The host's mission has failed. All property under the host's name and everything the host owns will be immediately revoked.]
Before the host encounters the next protagonist most closely connected to the original storyline, everything the host possesses will vanish into thin air, and those who serve the host will have their memories of the host erased.
Before the host makes a comeback, you must be strong and survive.
After all the memories were transferred, Su Qianqian forced herself to stand up from the puddle, lowered her head, and let the rainwater mix with the tears streaming down her cheeks.
Su Qianqian's lips curled into a self-deprecating sneer.
It's no wonder this world is obsessed with romance; it really does lead people astray.
Su Qianqian touched her rain-soaked face, a glimmer of light appearing in her eyes, but the innocence and expectation of the past were gone.
Su Qianqian raised her hand, grasped the delicate little bracelet around her neck, and then pulled it forcefully, tossing it lightly into the puddle.
