Chapter 210 - Kiss You

Su Feifei’s pupils contracted.

If Gu Sheng had said this to her two months ago… She would think that Gu Sheng had gone crazy.

Now, she seemed to be able to accept even the most bizarre explanation.

“Then, a voice suddenly appeared in my head. The voice told me that it was the system. It told me to follow its instructions to complete the mission, so that I can return to the modern world.”

Gu Sheng was silent for a moment. “I know what I said is ridiculous, but it’s all true.”

He paused for a moment before continuing.

“My ultimate goal was to become the Emperor of a country. The first mission I received was to join the army and become your Vice-general and military counselor.”

Su Feifei lowered her eyes, deep in thought. There was no expression on her face.

After a long while, she said, “So, you spent ten years to complete this mission? The last mission was to kill me?”

“It wasn’t just ten years,” Gu Sheng closed his eyes. “I didn’t choose to come back after you left. The system informed me that the flow of time and space in the two worlds is different. If I miss the chance to return, I will have to wait forty years to come back. So I chose to stay in Great Yan and live my whole life there.”

After he finished speaking, he fixed his eyes on Su Feifei.

Their eyes met in mid-air. He had thought that he would see shock, panic, or even shock on that face.

However, all he met was nothingness. Her face was clean and as still as water. Her eyes were as bright as the moon and the stars. Even after so many years, they were still so clear that one could see the bottom.

“So?” She asked.

Gu Sheng moved his lips.

He asked the question that he was most afraid of and also wanted to ask her the most.

“I’ve managed Great Yan very well, set up many new policies, and personally selected the heir I think is suitable. I’ve been in that position for forty years, and I missed you every day. I even regretted it every day.

“But I’m still Gu Sheng. My parents had a son when they were old, and I was their only son. The Gu family’s bloodline was thin, and they had been developing handicrafts for a long time. Those years were when they were most severely suppressed by the Luo family. Even my car accident might be related to the Luo Enterprise.

“In this situation, if it were you, what would you choose? Su Feifei… you’ll make the same choice as me, right?”

He gritted his teeth and said each word with difficulty. This was the first time he had ever spoken to her in such a humble manner.

Su Feifei still didn’t answer.

The two of them were silent for a long time.

Gu Sheng spoke again to reduce the silence.

“‘I’ve been conflicted too. In the ten years that I’ve been by your side, I thought about it every day. What should I do if the person the mission points to is to kill you? I’ve been living in fear and trepidation for the past ten years because the unknown mission was the most terrifying thing to look forward to.

“But you’ve seen the final result. It still inevitably pointed to you. I only realized what I had lost after I shot that arrow. I hated that it had to be me, I would rather die in that car accident than relive those memories again! I kept wondering why it had to be… me…”

His breath was rising and falling, and his chest was shaking.

After a while, he closed his eyes.

“I’m sorry for everything I’ve done. I’m really, truly sorry.

“So… the moment I found out that you were here, I couldn’t even describe my feelings. I know. That this time, even if I have to go through a mountain of daggers and a sea of flames, I will still go to you..

“This is the last chance the heavens have given me. I’ve laid all my cards on the table. You can be the judge.”

Su Feifei heard the last sentence. Then, she slowly reached out and pushed away the cup in front of her.

“Do I need to give you some time to digest this?” Gu Sheng asked.

“No need,” Su Feifei said.

“Did… not believe me?” He said, “I can prove it…”

“It’s unrelated to me.”

Su Feifei raised her head and cut him off.

What she was more shocked about now was Bo Silin’s drunken words last night.

After she carried Bo Silin into the tent and laid him on the bed, his eyes were dazed.

Outside the tent, the faint moonlight shone on Tiantian’s anxious figure.

After Tiantian’s persuasion, Su Feifei opened her mouth to answer but was stopped by Bo Silin.

“I’ll tell you a secret.” He said, “I expect you to lose a game tomorrow. Then, Gu Sheng will have a chance to talk to you.”

“I’ll lose?” Su Feifei frowned. “It’s impossible for me to lose.”

Bo Silin smiled and pulled her to the bed. Then, he reached out and pulled a piece of paper. Holding her hand, he wrote on it.

“Let me guess what he wants to tell you…”

He was 70% drunk, and his voice was particularly pleasant.

“I saw how proud Gu Sheng was. It was as if he had the world’s biggest death-exemption medal. So, I can only guess this might be what he says…”

He held her hand and wrote the word atonement.

He then hugged her tightly.

“I’ve asked Qiu Ye. Gu Sheng’s personality has not changed much.” He said, “It’s just that after he woke up from a vegetative state, he suddenly matured a lot. The doctor has also checked and he doesn’t lose his memory.

Bo Silin has a photographic memory. He only read the characters in the book once, but he could remember them clearly.

In the original book, Gu Sheng was just a supporting character.

The purpose of his existence was to be slapped in the face, so this side character was just used to add more lines to the story, and it was not explained clearly what happened to him after.

Bo Silin recalled the time when he had just transmigrated in.

At that time, Su Feifei was a bug to him. Now, there was another bug, Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng was also an active person. For example, the part about him being in a vegetative state was not mentioned in the book.

If his guess was right, everything started to change after he woke up from a vegetative state. After all, the previous plot matched the book.

That day, Gu Sheng was certain that he had his own difficulties in front of him.

What could be the reason?

Bo Silin had thought about it.

Going around in circles was nothing more than being forced to make a choice.

What reason would he have to shoot Su Feifei?

It could only be that he needed to complete this task, and at the same time, it was not out of his heart.

Things became much clearer when he thought about it this way. Hence, he continued to order his men to investigate. It was to check if Gu Sheng’s living habits were the same before and after he became a vegetable.

For example, being left-handed.

Before he was in a vegetative state, he was left-handed. When he woke up, he was still left-handed.

Before he was in a vegetative state, he hated eating fish. After waking up, he still couldn’t stand the smell of fish.

There were all sorts of things.

The basic judgment was that it was the same person before and after.

Gu Sheng was Wei Ling, and Wei Ling was Gu Sheng.

There was only one possibility left…

Perhaps… It was not Wei Ling who transmigrated to the modern world and became Gu Sheng.

Instead, it was Gu Sheng who traveled to Great Yan and became Wei Ling. Then, for some reason that wasn’t part of his choice, he had to kill her to return.

This was what Gu Sheng thought to be the biggest bargaining chip in his hands. Information. With his personality, he would use this as a bargaining chip to open Su Feifei’s heart.

Would he, Bo Silin, let him do that?

Of course not.

He was too smart, with an IQ of 140. Even if he was drunk, it would not delay his mission to kill his love rival.

Soon after, Bo Silin took advantage of his drunkenness and pulled Su Feifei to divide Gu Sheng’s speech into four sections.

“First, he will have a general and unoriginal opening. For example, he will tell you what happens next. Something along the lines of you may find it difficult to accept, but I will not lie.

“Then, he will state a fact and briefly explain the process of this matter.

“The third step is to post a tragic quote. For example, his struggle and his entanglement. The purpose was to tell you that he was miserable, and was forced to do it. Please note that this step is the easiest to stir up the hearts of the people.

“The fourth step is for him to conclude this matter and leave the choice to you. He might look generous enough to say that you will convict him, but in fact, he placed you in a dilemma for you to bear the consequences of his own choice.

“Remember, all men do is lie when they open their mouths.

“Especially this kind person with a webbed mind.”

Su Feifei turned around and looked at him with a smile.

“Aren’t you a man too?”

“I’m different from him. I only open my mouth too…” Bo Silin turned her over and leaned over to kiss her. “Kiss the person I love.”
