Chi Xingyu was silent, gently inhaling the scent surrounding him, as if this action could provide him with some sense of security.
Even now, when they were alone in the same room, he still feared that Tong Sui might not choose him in the final decision.
This restless atmosphere spread to other places in the show as well.
The next evening, the production team notified everyone, “Please pack all your belongings immediately and head to the Cloud Ladder.”
Tong Sui gathered his few belongings and boarded the vehicle of the production team.
Unlike before, this time everyone did not sit on the same bus but were separated; Tong Sui was alone in a sedan.
The Cloud Ladder is a glass bridge in the nearby scenic area, and at night, it lights up with many LED strips, adorning the dark mountains like a galaxy.
The car stopped at the mountain peak.
Perhaps due to the altitude, as soon as Tong Sui stepped out of the car, he felt the biting cold wind rushing into his clothes, causing him to instinctively shrink his neck.
The mountain was particularly cold at night.
Tong Sui pushed his suitcase onto the glass bridge, beneath him lay a dense forest in darkness, with LED lights twinkling along both sides.
As soon as he steadied himself, he heard the broadcast from the production team: “The guests whose names are called, please go to the designated position. This is the final choice; take the hand of the person you like, and you can leave from here.”
“San Cai, please make your choice now.”
San Cai stood at the other end of the glass bridge, gazing at them from afar.
He raised his hand to his mouth and shouted, “Qin Xiuxian, why aren’t you coming over to take my hand?”
As his voice resonated, a system prompt echoed in Tong Sui’s mind:
【Detected a significant change in the storyline of this world. You have successfully completed the task of saving four villains in this world. For the next 24 hours, you can choose to leave this world immediately or continue living until your life naturally ends.】
San Cai and Qin Xiuxian held hands, walking towards the other end of the glass bridge.
After watching them successfully hold hands and leave, the production team’s broadcast played again, “Tong Sui, please stand at the designated position and begin your choice.”
“Who do you wish to continue dating?”
Tong Sui stood at the other end of the bridge.
As he distanced himself from the other four, it felt as if an invisible thread stretched long between them, swaying in the wind.
The night breeze chilled his cheeks, and his hands holding the suitcase had long lost warmth.
In contrast, the four standing at the other end were filled with nervous sweat, like gamblers waiting for the big prize.
Even the slightest probability was enough for them to silently pray.
At this moment, the comments on the live stream seemed equally tense.
— So nervous, is it finally coming?
— Please, my CP must not collapse, or I will be really sad!!
— Baby, don’t choose anyone else, shine solo! These men aren’t worthy of my precious.
— Baby, maybe reconsider me?
Tong Sui glanced at the four people opposite him, each with distinctly different styles and characteristics.
Their appearances and personalities had some similarities to the lovers he encountered in previous worlds, but they were not identical.
Perhaps because of this, it had always been hard for him to experience significant emotional fluctuations, as if he was always just a little bit away from being moved.
He asked the system in his mind, “What happens to this body if I choose to leave this world?”
The system, rarely hearing him express a desire to leave, immediately sprang to life, 【We have many ways to fade away; accidents, diseases, whatever death method you want, we have it.】
“…”
Tong Sui said, “Does it have to be such a hardcore way? Is there any gentler option?”
The system replied: 【We can also simulate your behavior and personality with an intelligent program; it will be almost indistinguishable from the original.】
“Isn’t that a form of deception?” Tong Sui asked, “Are there any other options?”
The system was silent for a moment, then stated: 【Actually, you don’t really want to leave, do you?】
Tong Sui did not answer.
Perhaps it was due to the connections made during this time, or perhaps recalling the moment last night when Chi Xingyu held him and expressed fear.
He found it impossible to just walk away.
“Yeah, I don’t want to leave.”
Tong Sui’s gaze swept over the others, settling on Chi Xingyu, who resonated with him the most. “Chi Xingyu, do you want to try with me?”
Hearing his name called, Chi Xingyu was momentarily stunned, doubting his hearing, but when he met Tong Sui’s eyes, his heart raced uncontrollably, hot blood coursing through him.
He almost sprinted over, completely ignoring the terrifying height below, and pulled Tong Sui into his embrace.
“I do.”
Chi Xingyu’s voice was trembling, and his arms wrapped around Tong Sui felt extraordinarily warm.
Tong Sui suddenly realized he didn’t feel so cold anymore.
The comments overflowed with:
— Excited excited excited excited!
— Wow, I’m really rooting for this CP!!!
— Wuwuwu, do you want to try with me? Baby, that’s such a cute line.
— Chi Xingyu, what great fortune you have!
As the live broadcast continued, the tag for Chi Xingyu and Tong Sui’s happy ending quickly trended.
And immediately following that was:
#My ship just sank#
Tong Sui felt a bit bewildered about how he ended up holding hands with Chi Xingyu, leaving the scene and getting into the car, but the moment the car door closed, Chi Xingyu leaned in.
In the darkness of the backseat, his warm lips brushed against Tong Sui’s cheek.
Chi Xingyu hastily cupped Tong Sui’s face, showering him with kisses, both gentle and fervent, warming the chilled face that had turned pale with cold, as if trying to melt him away.
He was so happy, especially the moment Tong Sui called his name, far more exhilarating than any championship he could ever achieve.
