Original Translations: Crafted with Care, No Unauthorized Reposting Allowed.

Ying Lou returned to the main god space, did not say a word and shut himself in his room for several days, 089 and 023 came knocking several times, he also did not have the intention to receive.

Intense self-blame wrapped him up whole.

Xiaochi Chi is obviously his neighbor brother, the boy he grew up with, the boy he held in his heart, they did hope for the future together, but that is only the general perception of the "future" of teenagers, and does not contain any charming content.

How could one think such thoughts about him?

How can he like Xiaochi Chi?

In her confused state of mind, Ying Lou had to work to numb herself.

He received his eighth host on the hoof, and rushed into the job.

Similar to the first host he took, the eighth host, Fan Lv, is a timid and reserved young man, ordinary in appearance, not very talkative, a geek in his present life, and not even very articulate in his speech.

Ying Lou poured all her energy into bringing him up with the utmost care.

Because even if there is a sliver of free time, he can't help but use it to think about Xiaochi Chi.

In the past, Ying Lou always took this longing for granted.

Chi Xiao is his younger brother, and is always so unsettling that his every move naturally touches Ying Lou's heart, making him want to hug him, comfort him, be with him, and kiss his hair.

Now it's different, everything is different, everything has changed.

Ying Lou began to escape.

During the rest period between missions, he does not go back to visit Chi Xiao, but stays by his host's side the whole time.

Fan Lv said apologetically, "Mr. Lou, you don't always have to be with me, you can go about your business."

Ying Lou lied: "There's nothing for me to do back there."

He hadn't been back to visit his family for a long time, and he hadn't been to 023 to inquire about news related to Xiaochi Chi.

Ying Lou believes that this strange feeling is like a frying pan on fire, as long as the lid is used to keep the fire down and isolate the oxygen, it will soon go out slowly.

In time, everything will be back on track, and his feelings for Chi Xiao will slowly become normal.

However, this deliberate isolation brings surprisingly the exact opposite effect.

Ying Lou began to have frequent dreams about his past with Xiaochi Chi, about going out for a picnic with the grown-up Chi Xiao, about cutting Chi Xiao's hair with an empty flower pot fastened on his head.

The happier you are in your dreams, the more disappointed you are when you wake up.

One day, he actually dreamed that Chi Xiao kissed him.

From that day on, he did not dare to dream again.

While Fan Lv was sleeping, Ying Lou would always go back to the sparring ring in the main space alone and take down all 17 opponents simulated by the system.

Ying Lou gasped and collapsed in the middle of the open field, holding his hand over his eyes and gritting his teeth in secret.

...... how to miss him so much.

Ying Lou had never solved such a difficult problem in his life. He didn't know what to do to offset his feelings and could only woefully run away, retreat, and then throw in the towel.

He keeps everything related to Xiaochi Chi in his collection and never talks about him to others.

023 was worried about his condition and wanted to ask him what he had seen and what had happened during that trip back to the original world line to visit his family.

But 089 pulled him back, "Don't ask."

023 wondered, "I just want to know what happened to him."

089 said, "He doesn't have the answer himself, so how can he tell you."

Ying Lou carefully avoided everything about Xiaochi Chi, but who would have thought that this avoidance would be broken so suddenly by the host Fan Lv.

One night, Fan Lv asked him, "Mr. Lou, are you free?"

Ying Lou treats every host with the same gentleness: "Yes. What's wrong?"

Fan Lv stammered for a while before saying, "Nothing, just want to watch a movie with you."

At the mention of the word "movie", Ying Lou's heart was twisted in a not-so-subtle way, and it was very sour.

He put out a library of films for Fan Lv to choose from.

Fan Lv After turning two pages, you may not be able to find the right target, but you can't help but click into "your most frequently played movies".

Ying Lou's heart snapped, and it was too late to say anything to stop it.

Fan Lv pointed to the top of the line, Murder at the Cape, and exclaimed, "215 times! Mr. Lou, is this movie that good?"

Ying Lou is speechless.

He couldn't even tell the lie that the movie wasn't good, so he could only nod, "Yes, it's not bad."

Fan Lv exclaimed, "You like it so much, let's watch this."

Ying Lou : "...... is good."

Despite the unpredictable emotions that plague him every day, Ying Lou has never lost sight of his business.

After his investigation, Fan Lv body is no exception to the burial of transmission lines that deliver entropy values in varying amounts every day.

Ying Lou records the daily fluctuations in detail and gradually finds out by comparison which world the host is most emotionally invested in and the more into the task object, the more energy he or she will get.

Ying Lou is not one to jump to conclusions.

He will only list down the problems and conditions he finds, and after meticulous calculations, finally come to a relatively reliable and logical conclusion.

The current evidence can at least indicate that the Lord God has a serious behavior of violating the greed of entropy value.

Because in the contract between the system and the host, none of the provisions mention the matter that entropy value will be collected from the host.

After Fan Lv completed his fourth assignment, he took a half-month-long beach vacation, and Ying Lou returned to her long-lost dormitory to thoroughly summarize and organize all the data obtained during these days in a rare quiet.

In the process of finishing, he got the idea to appeal to the immediate supervisory authority.

Ying Lou felt that there was a truth behind this that he had not been able to touch.

Ying Lou's personality is such that she does what she says she will do.

He compared the available materials and began to write the first draft of his complaint.

When he was halfway through the complaint, he felt a chill run down his back.

...... It was an intense discomfort of being secretly spied on.

Ying Lou looked back.

Behind him is a clean wall with a single frame, framed with a hand-painted watercolor of the abandoned railroad tracks he and Xiaochi Chi once walked together in the sunset.

Was ...... his illusion just now?

Ying Lou turned around and faced his data-laden record panel, his expression calm and his mind racing.

He remembered that the Lord God had signed a strict privacy regulation with the system, one of which was that the Lord God had no right to pry into the personal privacy of the system.

However, the host god has likewise planted energy transmission lines inside the host without the prescribed permission.

This proves that ......

Ying Lou lifted his hand, and his fingertips coalesced to reveal a light blue stream of data.

He put his fingers on the wall and let the silk threads tangle and melt with the wall made of data, like putting a butterfly into a deep forest or letting the water flow into the sea.

Gradually, the light blue threads extended to every part of the room's walls, cocooning the room like a dense envelope.

As long as anyone tries to spy on him again, it will be impossible not to touch these threads.

Once touched, the information is instantly fed back to Ying Lou.

Whether it's an illusion or not, it's always good to prevent what-ifs.

Ying Lou pulls out a stool, sits down and continues to work.

Only at such times could he let go of Xiaochi Chi a little.

When the second round of grooming and review was over, Ying Lou stretched her body on the bench a few times and thought about her next course of action.

He had to go back to Fan Lv's rest stop first to see how he was doing on his beach vacation and to make sure he was in good shape before he ......

...... and then, where can it go.

Ying Lou pressed his forehead in distress.

Once again, he was driven by this dilemma.

He could only give up thinking and went back to the rest station.

I didn't expect Fan Lv, who said he was going to the beach to drink coconuts, to be sitting with his knees in that pure white space, looking not very good.

Ying Lou asked softly, " Fan Lv, what's wrong"

Fan Lv asked a question extremely abruptly, "Mr. Lou, do you have someone you like?"

Ying Lou's heart was stabbed without warning.

He didn't move and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Fan Lv said, "You're in my system and I wanted to know more about you, so I went and watched all the videos you've seen. --The videos you watched the most were all related to a guy named Xiaochi Chi."

Ying Lou tilted her head: "He's an actor, I just like watching his movies. It's just that I've been too busy lately, so I haven't seen any more."

Fan Lv said, "But the play count is 7 more."

"...... what?"

Fan Lv opened the light screen, went to the movie library, selected "Your most played movies", and found "The Cape Murder".

He pointed to the play count in the bottom right corner.

...... shows played 223 times.

Fan Lv whispered, "I watched it once that day and fell asleep. The other seven times, you watched it that night."

Ying Lou froze.

He remembered.

Before the movie was played that day, he quietly set the movie to loop mode.

Fan Lv sleeping, the movie was tuned to silent by him and replayed over and over again.

During this time of replay, Ying Lou's heart is at peace because he has found an excuse to think about and watch Xiaochi Chi with abandon.

...... But even he didn't expect it to be as many as seven times.

" Chi Xiao is my neighbor's brother." After a half-hearted pause, Ying Lou gritted his teeth and took a defensive stance, "I don't have that kind of feelings for him ......."

Fan Lv's tone was strangely excited: "Really?"

Ying Lou stopped talking.

He remembered the feeling of his heart biting into a lemon when he saw Xiaochi Chi and Zhihuai Song's intimate behavior that day, the longing and longing that had been going on day and night all these days, and all that there was about Xiaochi Chi.

Ying Lou closed his eyes and smiled bitterly.

He gave that answer to his heart that had long been called out: "...... false."

Ying Lou likes Xiaochi Chi.

It was only after leaving him alone in the world for many years that I realized how much I liked him.

Fan Lv pursed his lips and laughed away: "Aha, I knew it. Mr. Lou is so good, he should have been married long ago."

Ying Lou said, "No."

Fan Lv : "What didn't?"

Ying Lou : "He has eleventy thousand futures and possibilities. ...... but it will never be me."

Ying Lou's heart, which had been tense for a long time, finally sank to the ground.

All this time, he has been torn and evasive, but only because he refuses to admit that Xiaochi Chi is the one person who can never belong to him.

Xiaochi Chi has Lucas, Zhihuai Song, and many more to come.

When Ying Lou died, it was his friend, it was his brother, it would be forever fixed on this step, it was impossible to advance even one step.

"Ah ......" Fan Lv slightly paused for a moment, "In that case, Lou still likes him."

After accepting that initial answer, Ying Lou already had the courage to answer all the questions.

He said to himself, "Yes, like."

Seeing Fan Lv fall into silence again, Ying Lou remembered the question she wanted to ask when she first saw him here: "Aren't you going to the beach?"

"I'm not going. I've been sunbathing alone for half a day, and I don't think there's much to do." Fan Lv inhaled, smiled and said, "Come on, let's go to the next world."

They walked through two worlds together again, and Ying Lou started following Xiaochi Chi-related messages again.

Xiaochi Chi's new movie will be released soon, and I heard that it is a basketball related movie. In the movie, he has a short haircut, a fresh black sports band wrapped around his forehead, which makes his skin white and clean, holding an orange basketball in his arms, full of youth and health.

The crew was apparently very happy with his look, and they let him go out with short hair the whole time when they ran the promotion.

The host asked him, "How does it feel to cut your hair short?"

Xiaochi Chi thought for a moment and said, "It feels like I'm not wearing any clothes."

Ying Lou watched his promotional meeting live from a remote location, and it was a crying shame to hear him talk such nonsense.

As a matter of fact, his "inappropriate words and actions" attracted a lot of media criticism, both for the film in disguise to pull a lot of heat, but also once again put himself on the limelight.

Ying Lou wanted to go back and spend some time with Xiaochi Chi, but Fan Lv said he wanted to hurry back to the original world and didn't want to waste too much time on unnecessary rest, so they had to rush off to the next world after a day or two of rest at most.

Ying Lou sees Fan Lv as a hope because he may be the first host who has a chance to return to his original world, so he willingly accompanies Fan Lv in a row.

And because Fan Lv has learned about her own inadequate heart, Ying Lou prefers to see him as a friend rather than a "hope".

In his opinion, Fan Lv is the same.

He would even laughingly gossip about Ying Lou and Xiaochi Chi's past, and when he was forced to, Ying Lou would pick up a funny story or two to tell Fan Lv.

Ying Lou's tongue is as sweet as the tip of her heart when she tells the story.

Soon, they entered the seventh mission world of Fan Lv.

When she first opened her eyes, Ying Lou let out a puzzled "hmm" in her mind.

The first thing that came to my nose was the strong smell of coffee, followed by the slight roar of the old copier as it spit out the paper.

On the computer in front of him, there is a half done advertising case PPT, to his left are half eaten pumpernickel cookies, a small humidifier exhaling a mist, so that the lips of a person who has slept dry is quickly moistened by the moisture with the smell of fragrance.

What puzzles Ying Lou is that the scent of this world is simply too ordinary.

...... like a normal world.

Generally speaking, from the third to the fourth world, the worldview of the mission world will be out of the original owner's familiar category, the fifth and sixth world will be in the mission difficulty, a small probability will appear A-class difficulty tasks, the worldview of the seventh world, will be further distinguished from the previous worlds.

In short, it won't be as normal as it is now.

In order to avoid mistakes caused by his own subjective judgment, Ying Lou quickly browsed through the missions of this world and found that they were just as common -

The original owner is a hard-working advertising agency white-collar, parents love very much, although the family has little money, but he is in the honey pot bubble grown, developed a happy little sweetheart character.

One day, his department was parachuted a design director, age than the original owner is also two or three months younger than the son of a female - industry big shot, and a Cambridge graduate, it is reasonable to say that parachuted as a deputy manager are polite, but he somehow, it is to this not too small department.

The director's eyebrows strangely resemble the original owner somewhat, so colleagues joke that the two of them must have been brothers in a previous life.

The director general did not mind this small joke without malicious intent, gracefully explained for him, and occasionally joked and called the original owner brother.

The director is a rather affable and elegant person, and the pursuit of the original owner is also silent, unfolding step by step, capturing his heart a little, and then netting him into his arms.

The original owner was not gay before, at the beginning of the face of the director's pursuit, very overwhelmed and resisted for a period of time, later, is slowly fallen, deep love.

Ying Lou had a bad feeling when she saw the resemblance between the two.

As expected, the original owner and the director of the sweet and sweet relationship for two years, had been planning to go abroad to get married, but inadvertently in the director of the phone with others, learned the fact that the director is his own brother.

In the end, it's just the love-hate relationship of the parents' generation that has come back to haunt the next generation.

The original owner's father was backwards and entered the family of the director's birth mother, but he was growing tired day by day under his wife's strength and could hardly catch his breath.

The two were not a solid love was worn out by the speed of light, the original father soon fell in love with another mediocre woman, secretly dating for a long time, until the lover was pregnant, the month is getting bigger and bigger, things can not be hidden, the wife only found sleeping on their pillow man is a kind of goods.

The wife was too lazy to keep such a man around, and after kicking him out of the house, she realized she had a child too.

Because of her personal physique, she did not abort the child, but had it, and then sent it far abroad for education.

This child is now the director.

Because he looked so much like his father, his mother always treated him lightly.

He lost both parents at the same time and grew up abroad as an orphan.

Years later, the director from the mouth of the side to find out what had happened to his family, back to investigate, but found that the woman who stole his father's family live in peace and happiness, their children enjoy the two he never enjoyed, complete love, and do not even know what it is sacrificed to get.

He's crazy.

So he found a way to get his half-brother to fall into the same madness as himself.

In the end, the original owner could not accept such a morally repugnant relationship, and was so painfully depressed that she ended up committing suicide.

Ying Lou, watching this plot full of unforgettable style, while his brain hurts, still can't ignore the unnaturalness of the world line itself.

--This type of world line, which should generally appear in the second and third tasks, simply does not meet the basic characteristics of the seventh world line should have.

And, for some reason, Ying Lou's heart is always suspended with an indefinable sense of weirdness.

As Fan Lv read the world line, he sifted through the story again from start to finish.

Rereading it again, he still hadn't come up with a decent result, but the strange feeling hovering in his heart was getting stronger and stronger.

Not waiting for him to sort out the threads from the mess, a document snapped to his heels.

Ying Lou looked up, in front of him was the former director of the original owner, a middle-aged man with thinning hair.

He knocked on the table: "This is the final version of Lola's shooting plan, which has been sent to the photographers before, you send a few more paper copies to the third studio, so they can keep them for backup."

Fan Lv busy answered "hey", clutching the file out of the office, whispered a request: "Mr. Lou, give me to download a copy of the company's guide map."

Without his reminder, Ying Lou has already started to download.

When he connected to the network, the strange feeling that had been blurred in his mind became clear and strong again.

When the file was delivered to Studio 3, the bearded cameraman was setting up the machine, and his assistant took the file and sent Fan Lv away indifferently.

Because of Xiaochi Chi, Ying Lou has a minimum understanding of what's going on in the industry.

Here is about to shoot an indoor commercial, the ground is covered with snow white fluffy feathers, a hundred spotlights pre-discharge dazzling light and shadow, all the props are quite high quality, the shooting plan sent to the French version, it can be seen that this ad at least in the first stage of preparation has considerable sincerity.

Exiting the shed, Fan Lv nervously stroked his chest: "They're really big."

Ying Lou began to work for Fan Lv do this world's slag attack of the rip-off plan, casually reassured: "normal. Do their line of ......"

As we spoke, one person and one system left Shed 3 and entered the main building's office lobby through a side door.

Ying Lou followed the host, the habit of every door, the first time for the host to explore the surrounding situation clearly.

After his eyes turned halfway across the hall, his heart suddenly went numb and stopped beating for half a second.

At first, Ying Lou thinks she misses Chi Xiao so much that she sees a vision of him.

But the Chi Xiao of Ying Lou's fantasy does not always have a colorful head that changes color from season to season as if it were a miracle warmer.

Lucas's hair is longer and dyed a vibrant burgundy color.

Xiaochi Chi's hair has not yet had time to grow long, short hair trimmed above the ears to add a few dry style, ink blue cashmere long coat covers only half of his thighs, under which extends the line of the knee and calf is extremely clean and sharp.

He was wearing a pair of sunglasses so big that they covered half of his face. Probably winter in the outdoors for a long time, the lower half of his face was flooded with frozen out pale, only the lips back to the blood, showing a touch of sweet red.

However, it is clear that such a handsome dress, the man is holding a cup of hot pearl milk tea to sip, as always childish.

Ying Lou's heartbeat slowly accelerated, eventually reaching a drum-like frequency.

He finally realized where that vague sense of weirdness came from just now.

The problem is not the plot of the world line at all, but the world line itself.

--This is Worldline 707.

--707 world line, the world where he lived, the world where Xiaochi Chi existed.

...... What kind of luck would allow him to be randomly transported into this place?

Before Ying Lou could understand the question, Xiaochi Chi and Lucas were already walking in their direction.

Lucas looked down to check his itinerary on the memo, while Xiaochi Chi focused on the pearls in his milk tea cup, not intending to fix his eyes on the small employee who looked at him steadily.

The direction they were going ...... was exactly shed number three.

Fan Lv also recognized who this oncoming person is, horrified to stand still, whispered: "...... Mr. Lou?"

Ying Lou's heart was tingling and she couldn't speak.

It was not until she met Xiaochi Chi in person that Ying Lou realized how much she missed him.

Trying to hold him.

Trying to kiss his ear.

I want to say what I like about him, even if it means losing it after I say it.

All this, he could only think about in the past.

But now, he has the power to make it happen.

Although there is a ban within the system that does not allow the system to have entities in the mission world, the main god cannot keep an eye on them all the time.

As long as the consent of the host is obtained and the energy is not used, then the transformation of the body and free movement is completely open and shut.

As Xiaochi Chi gets closer, Ying Lou's sanity is gradually swallowed up by the months of missing her.

When she was about to pass by Xiaochi Chi, Ying Lou moved the original owner's hand and gently put it on Xiaochi Chi's small arm holding the milk tea.

...... is almost a decade old.

Ying Lou, who has spent the last ten years passing Chi Xiao many times, finally met him in real life.

Even so, he only dared to restrain himself from touching his small arm.

Xiaochi Chi's reaction was several times more overwhelming than he had expected.

He simply smacked Ying Lou's hand away with a resounding snap.

Ying Lou was dumbfounded.

Xiaochi Chi, on the other hand, frowned and took two steps back, looking at the stranger with a hundred thousand degrees of wariness and hostility.

These days by Xiaochi Chi's negative news tossed a daze Lucas has been cultivated out of the conditioned reflexes, immediately put down the phone, shake the spirit to jump out for Xiaochi Chi to round up: "Sorry, sorry, he did not have a good night's rest last night, and have the wake up, you do not and he general understanding. "

Lucas held Xiaochi Chi down and whispered menacingly, "Say you're sorry."

Xiaochi Chi bowed his head and apologized.

With seven worlds of experience, Fan Lv's ability to react on the spot is not weak: "Sorry sorry sorry, you are the ...... that Xiaochi Chi, Mr. Chi, right? I, I heard you were coming and I wanted an autograph."

Lucas was afraid that Xiaochi Chi would make another mistake and almost forced him to give Fan Lv's autograph.

When the little employee who came to ask for autographs was far away, Lucas slapped Xiaochi Chi on the back in anger: "My living ancestor! Don't make trouble for me! If someone catches you on camera, you'll be a big shot and you won't be able to talk about it with ten mouths! I've been busy enough lately, don't give me any more work, okay?"

Xiaochi Chi frowned, "I don't like people just touching me."

Lucas then remembered and let out an ouch, "I forgot to forget. It's not hard on your stomach, right?"

Xiaochi Chi bit into his straw and froze: "It's okay."

After a brief encounter, the two went in completely opposite directions.

Xiaochi Chi but seems to have something on his mind, touched his arm just touched by that hand, and then moved his hand to the chest position, force to press a little, a little confusion between the eyebrows.

He stopped in his tracks and looked back at the young man who had walked diagonally down the hall and was preparing to go up the stairs.

Ying Lou in Fan Lv's body looks back at Xiaochi Chi in silence, delicately tracing his eyebrows with her eyes.

But Fan Lv is walking without looking back.

Seeing that the man had no intention of turning back, Xiaochi Chi himself realized how ridiculous the thought he had just had for no apparent reason was.

He held a corner of his lips, threw the empty milk tea cup into the trash can, and immediately took a big step in the direction of shed number three.
