19

November 11th.

On the seventh day of Ren Cha's death, Qin Zhai buried him after a simple memorial service.

The dead were the most important. No matter how great the hatred was when he was alive, it would disappear with his death.

But …

Gou Liang saw the date engraved on the tombstone — November 11th, 2069. He felt the malice of this world towards this man. He thought that it was a good thing that this world was not like the world of ghosts and monsters, where a part of people's souls could continue to exist in the form of ghosts after death. Otherwise, Ren Cha would definitely climb out of it and have a good chat with Qin Zhai.

Well, no matter what, Ren Cha was still a rich man who gave him the 1.1 billion "inheritance" he had accumulated over 44 lifetimes. Gou Liang did not hesitate to shed tears of sympathy for him.

Qin Zhai was afraid that Ren Cha would be frightened, so he took care of him very carefully. Even after Ren Cha's men and his sons were taken care of, Ren Cha always kept a close eye on Gou Liang.

Although Qin Zhai didn't say it out loud, it was because she hadn't thought things through. After the incident, they had found a lot of explosives in the room. If the detonator in Ren Cha's hand hadn't been broken, no matter how many people they had arranged, they wouldn't have been able to escape. She was still brooding about it. Also, she was protected by Gou Liang.

Don't think that this was a warm and beautiful thing that was worth being touched by. Qin Zhai had been angry for a long time. Every time he thought about it, he would feel a lingering fear, but he could not bear to lose his temper at Ren Cha.

How could Gou Liang not know?

During this period of time, he had been caressing Qin Zhai. From time to time, he would transform into Xiao Tiantian and male seductress to let Qin Zhai enjoy the peak of life with a partner. Later, when he saw Master Qin's insatiable greed, Gou Liang did not plan to recover from the "sequela" for the rest of his life, he picked up the philosophy of being a cold and aloof emperor again.

Without the existence of a threat to his life, he was very relaxed and enjoyed life.

If it weren't for the main system saying that Ren Cha was a non-standard existence, guaranteeing that he could still gain negative soul power from the original owner, Gou Liang wouldn't have even bothered to heal his hand.

When Master Qin saw that Gou Liang did not mention that he wanted to go to the Department of Surgery to serve society, he was secretly happy. He loved to spoil Gou Liang's lack of ambition.

Gou Liang and Master Qin began to live in seclusion. They were more enthusiastic about the mission than ever before. Even though Qin Zhai, a technical maniac, was only willing to spit out a few fragments each time, he had successfully pushed the mission progress to 60% after a year of dedication.

Six months after Duan Xiaochen and Liu Sansi got married, there was good news. When Gou Liang took Qin Zhai to visit his mother-to-be, he happened to bump into the Duan Xiaotian couple. Hearing that they hadn't eaten alone and talked about life for a long time, he made an appointment.

When Gou Liang came to the appointment, the Duan Xiaotian kept peeking behind him.

Although they had agreed not to bring his family, Gou Liang and his Duan Xiaotian stuck together for a moment. It wouldn't be strange if he brought his family.

Seeing that Master Qin didn't follow, the Duan Xiaotian was about to praise Gou Liang when he knocked on his watch and said, "If you have something to say, say it. In an hour, Qin Zhai will come to take me home."

The Duan Xiaotian was speechless.

After a moment of silence, the Duan Xiaotian couldn't help but complain, "You two are really too much. I've never heard that dating can reduce one's age. Even a fifteen-year-old boy isn't as lovey-dovey as you two."

"I understand your jealousy. Also, I personally don't advocate puppy love."

Gou Liang replied while tapping on his phone.

"I'm jealous of you?" The Duan Xiaotian snorted and lamented, "I originally wanted to ask you how you've been recently. Well, I don't think I need to ask anymore."

Gou Liang put the menu tablet aside and glanced at the Duan Xiaotian. He smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me so eagerly? Do you want me to ask you how you've been? What, Bai Dongming finally realized that you're a bottomless pit in life and want to climb out to see the scenery outside? "

"Tsk, with my qualifications, he's probably secretly happy to find me."

The Duan Xiaotian and his sister definitely had a family connection when it came to boasting. Their tones were exactly the same. Then, he stared at Gou Liang for a while and couldn't help but reach out to pinch Gou Liang's face. Then, he said in amazement, "It's really not my imagination. I say, Old Qiu, why are you still growing in reverse? Your skin is so white and tender. Your Old Qin is really blessed. "

As he spoke, he laughed mischievously and winked at Gou Liang, "Don't tell me you ate too much of that thing?"

"You'll know if you try it."

Gou Liang replied without any pressure. The Duan Xiaotian was about to scold him when his phone screen lit up.

Qin Zhai: Watch your hands.

His brother-in-law's backer was Master Qin's wife. He wasn't afraid of the warning between the lines at all and was amused when he saw it.

"I didn't expect the famous Master Qin to be so clingy. I mean, he has the temperament of an artist." As he spoke, he suddenly remembered that they were surrounded by Qin Zhai's people. He quickly changed the topic and asked Gou Liang, "Old Qiu, how do you guys usually get along? Tell me, the freshness is so good."

"You're here to learn from me, right?"

As they spoke, the waiter brought their food over and the two of them stopped talking.

After the waiter left, the Duan Xiaotian asked him to eat and said, "You can't say that. I'm just a little curious about how others live. You see, Old Bai and I are usually very busy. At least I have my off days, but he has no rest all year round. We only see each other once a day at night. If he still has the energy, he'll be busy doing things in bed. We don't even have a chance to talk properly … This dish is very authentic. Try it. "

The Duan Xiaotian looked a little lonely when he talked about his troubles. He felt that he was ruining the atmosphere, so he quickly pulled himself together and put on a smiling face.

Gou Liang didn't mind spreading dog food on his wound at all. He said indifferently, "I'm unemployed. Qin Zhai also has a lot of time. Well, don't think that the Qin Family's business is big. He's been around for 20 years and has to use all his subordinates. In fact, there aren't many things that he needs to do. When your Bai Dongming has convinced everyone and has his own team, it'll be fine. "

Bai Dongming suffered because he was in his rebellious phase for too long.

The Duan Xiaotian felt depressed. With Qin Zhai's intelligence, it took him 20 years to get to where he was now. When Old Bai had the courage to be a hands-off boss, he would already be old. What else could he count on?

Gou Liang didn't finish his words. "Actually, we don't do anything. You know that he has the temperament of an artist. Usually, when he watches a movie or reads a recipe, he needs me to accompany him. If I don't like him, he can find his own entertainment. He can be happy the whole day just by drawing in front of me. He also has to cook for me. Otherwise, he can do some technical work. One good thing about him is that he's very studious. "

The Duan Xiaotian felt like he had been hit by 10,000 points.

"Then what do you do? A pure rice bucket? "

He gritted his teeth and asked.

Gou Liang didn't feel ashamed. Instead, he nodded proudly. He blinked and said, "Of course I'm in charge of being as beautiful as a flower … Oh, and eating."

The Duan Xiaotian understood the second meaning of eating. He didn't argue with him. He laughed and put a few chopsticks into his bowl. He didn't forget to say in a tone full of disdain. "Eat, eat, eat. Let's see if you can eat until you become a big fatty."

Gou Liang was overjoyed.

When Qin Zhai came to pick him up, Gou Liang picked up his conscience and comforted him. "When Old Bai is done with his work, it'll be about time. If you're really bored, you should take over Teacher's heavy workload as soon as possible. Otherwise, when he's done with his work, it'll be your turn. When the time comes, you won't be able to do it. "

The Duan Xiaotian was furious. He couldn't control himself and exploded in front of Master Qin. "You're the one who can't do it!"

Gou Liang shrugged. "It doesn't matter if I can't do it. As long as my husband can, it's enough."

No matter how stupid the Duan Xiaotian was, he didn't dare to say that Master Qin could also be incompetent. Seeing Qin Zhai happily kissing Gou Liang's fingers after hearing this, he suddenly felt that his eyes were going blind.

He finally realized that the biggest mistake he made today wasn't asking Gou Liang for advice, but talking about life with him.

After Gou Liang and the Duan Xiaotian were done showing off their love, he didn't care about Bai Dongming's impulsive actions. Instead, he went back to Bai Dongming and lectured him. For a Duan Xiaotian who was afraid of loneliness, if he didn't talk, life would be boring. After that, he didn't hear the Duan Xiaotian complain that he only worked and didn't talk. It seemed that Bai Dongming was sincerely taught.

It was rare for Gou Liang to have such a public display of affection. Seeing that he was enjoying it, Qin Zhai slightly restrained his dislike of the Duan Xiaotian.

One night ten years later, Qin Zhai accidentally dreamed of another world.

He didn't know why, but he hadn't participated in He Chongfeng's life for many years. He didn't expect that the long-awaited reunion would turn out to be a nightmare.

"Let's go home, I'm starving!"

Hearing Xiao Kener's energetic urging, Qin Zhai laughed. He wanted to coax him not to be anxious, but for some reason, he felt a heart-wrenching sadness in his heart.

He heard himself begging in a low voice, "Xiao Kener, don't leave me."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I leave?"

Xiao Kener was still laughing, but his smiling face suddenly froze in time and space. Like thin ice, it shattered and dissipated the moment he touched it.

"Xiao Kener!"

Qin Zhai screamed in horror. The next moment, he found himself in a void of black and white. The golden rule flowed around his body. The past, present, and future of this world were presented in front of him, but it didn't include the person he loved most. It was as if he had never appeared.

"… Qin Zhai?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Qin Zhai was finally released from the chaotic dream.

"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

"… Yes."

Qin Zhai hugged him and felt relieved.

Gou Liang followed his stiff back until he slowly calmed down. Then he asked him what he dreamed of.

Qin Zhai was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I saw you leave He Chongfeng, but I won't let you go. Xiao Kener … Promise me that you'll be with me until we grow old. No one can say goodbye first. "

Gou Liang's eyes reddened. He didn't know if it was because he was thinking of He Chongfeng's last moment frozen in shock and unwillingness, or if it was because his heart ached for He Chongfeng's genuine frailty.

Gou Liang touched Qin Zhai's dry eyes and made sure that he wasn't crying. He smiled and said, "Okay."

Qin Zhai caught his falling tears. Looking at the sadness that Gou Liang tried to hide, Qin Zhai gently kissed him between the eyebrows.

Since then, Gou Liang found that Qin Zhai began to secretly fiddle with something. It was very similar to when He Chongfeng secretly designed the holographic baby.

Gou Liang was looking forward to what surprise he would give him, but he didn't expect that he would wait for three years.

Qin Zhai covered his eyes and carried him to the home theater.

"Qin Zhai, let me say this first. It's best if it's a surprise. If it scares me —"

Gou Liang, who doubted his romantic aesthetic, suddenly stopped when he heard a familiar voice.

"I always believed that there was a different me in another world, living a completely different life from the current me. And when we meet by chance in time and space … "

This was Mai Tao's voice.

This was "Parallel Space".

Qin Zhai put down his hand. Gou Liang and the person in the movie who was woken up by the alarm clock looked into each other's eyes. At that moment, he seemed to have experienced what Qin Zhai once said about the intersection of time and space and the feeling of meeting another one of himself.

"Parallel Space" was a work that He Chongfeng wrote and directed. It was a light comedy, and Gou Liang was the male lead.

The rich second generation was so bored that he spent money every day looking for fun, and he accidentally met himself in another world. At first, because he was bored and couldn't bear to see that guy with his own face, he secretly borrowed his body because he was a softie who was forced to work in the office.

The first thing he did was to beat up his boss and scold him with the word "idiot" in 27 different languages. In the end, he raised his middle finger and said, "Listen to me. Now, you're fired!" He left a big mess for his boss to clean up.

The protagonist was determined to transform his other self into a cool and domineering Adonis like himself. However, in his eyes, his own self, who was useless, also had the qualities that he envied. Simple happiness, the open-mindedness of contentment, and the generosity of love and care for others.

"I envy you, but I don't have to become you. Don't envy me. In your world, there will always be someone who can make you happy. He's on the other side of the world, waiting for you to find him. "

At the end of the movie, the softie said to the rich second generation.

Gou Liang now knew that this was Qin Zhai's self-encouragement, and he finally met himself.

Qin Zhai whispered to him, "I'm very lucky, aren't I?"

Gou Liang laughed and asked him, "Aren't you afraid that I'll be jealous if you show me this?"

Every detail of the holographic movie he restored was exactly the same as in Gou Liang's memory. It could be seen that he had put in a lot of effort in the past three years.

As soon as he finished speaking, the movie that was originally closed suddenly flashed, and a handsome man "walked out" from the holographic screen.

Gou Liang's eyelashes suddenly trembled.

He Chongfeng stepped through time and stopped in front of Gou Liang. He leaned over and gently "cupped" Gou Liang's face, touched his lips, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Kener, I miss you very much."

"Chong-"

[Beep!!! Master, hold it in!!!]

Gou Liang held back the call that came out of his mouth, and his hands that wanted to hug him froze.

"He Chongfeng" straightened up and smiled at him. Qin Zhai sighed softly in his ears. He said, "Xiao Kener, I know you miss him very much."

Gou Liang's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Qin Zhai in disbelief. "Qin Zhai, you …"

"I always knew that you also remember that world." Qin Zhai said, "You remember He Chongfeng, you remember us."

Gou Liang's lips trembled, but he couldn't say anything. The System was also nervous and hugged itself tightly.

Qin Zhai saw his doubts, touched his head, and laughed softly. He said, "I also know that Xiao Kener is very protective of his food. If you don't remember Mai Tao, but I still miss him, I would have … been bitten to death by you."

Gou Liang's face went blank for a moment.

Then, he suddenly stood up and wanted to approach He Chongfeng, but his hand went through He Chongfeng's holographic image as expected, and in the next second, he disappeared on the spot.

Gou Liang suddenly looked at Qin Zhai, and before he could say anything, Qin Zhai said with a cold face of Master Qin, without feeling wronged at all.

"I'm jealous."

Gou Liang's tears stopped in his eyes for a moment, and suddenly, a smile bloomed on his face.

He threw himself at Qin Zhai. "Hubby, you're the best!"

Qin Zhai laughed.

Fifty years later.

[Main System: Ding, the life of the host is about to end. The countdown for the executor to leave the mission world has started. Please try to complete the last 1% of the mission progress!!]

Gou Liang was silent for a moment, put down the holographic baby "Little Orange" that was acting cute to him, and looked at Qin Zhai seriously.

"Master Qin, I don't think I've ever seen you cry before."

Gou Liang looked at him expectantly.

Qin Zhai touched his face and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll make Little Orange cry for you tomorrow."

Gou Liang: If you don't cry, I'll cry … In the end, it's all my own fault. QAQ.

He was racking his brains when he heard the main system's alarm.

[Ding!! Executor No. 00401, please note that the target's vital signs have disappeared. The mission world has entered a three-second countdown!! Executor, please —]

Gou Liang suddenly looked at Qin Zhai, and Qin Zhai obviously noticed it too.

His smile froze, and he hugged him tightly, whispering, "Xiao Kener, don't be afraid."

"Qin Zhai …"

Gou Liang was the first to cry, but the strong Master Qin did not shed a tear in the end.

The mission world was unsealed, and his soul was separated from the host and was about to return to the sea of consciousness. What he didn't know was that at this moment, the world stopped.

Qin Zhai, who had dissipated, re-condensed in the void. Wearing the black robe of the law, his legs regained their freedom of movement, and he gently hugged the soul floating in the air into his arms.

The director, who was wearing Xiao Si's virtual body, crawled out of Gou Liang's sea of consciousness shakily and half-knelt in the air, "Master, you …"

The main system, which was connected to the world again, knew that the person in front of it was the 1% of the main god's consciousness that Gou Liang did not obtain in the current world.

It was only now that it realized that even if Qin Zhai cried, Gou Liang would not be able to obtain the last 1%. This was because it was not with Qin Zhai from the beginning to the end — it was with Ren Cha, the only person in the current world who had a blood relationship with the main god's host.

It was also because of this that he was constantly reincarnated with the world and was chased by the main god's law. At the same time, he could not coexist with Qin Zhai, who was the main god's host, in this world.

In this world, only the main god had the ability to do this.

The main system was confused, but it soon understood why its master was doing this!

Qin Zhai gently brushed Gou Liang's body, and suddenly pulled out a wisp of black gas from Gou Liang's soul that seemed to be intact!

— — The Law of Darkness!

The main system was stunned.

The Law of Darkness was a primordial law that was born at the same time as the main god. Even the main god could not erase it, and it had the ability to swallow time and space! What shocked it even more was that a soul that had been eroded by the Law of Darkness could not exist in time and space. Even a main god could not do this …

How could Gou Liang still exist, and even have such powerful soul power?

At the same time that the Law of Darkness was pulled out, the black robe on Qin Zhai's body suddenly emitted a golden light, and it valiantly swallowed the Law of Darkness.

"Master, no!"

When the main system saw that he was actually going to use his own Sovereign power to perish together with the Law of Darkness, it immediately rushed over to stop him.

However, it was too late.

The black robe on Qin Zhai's body instantly dimmed, and blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

"It's okay."

Shaking his head at the main system that was about to cry, Qin Zhai kissed Gou Liang's forehead, and when he disappeared into the void again, the frozen time and space were broken.

*

In the sea of consciousness, Gou Liang, who had just left the host, did not even have time to complain about the mission's second failure before he heard a sobbing notification.

"Ding! Mission progress bar advanced. Current mission progress: 100%."

Gou Liang was first surprised, then shocked, and looked at the main system that issued the notification.

Gou ⊙ ω ⊙ Liang: "… Director, why are you crying?"
