    Chapter 95: Coming Alone, Leaving with a Family

    “It’s the system, what you call…” Lin Yan tried hard to recall the Great Zhou National Teacher’s term for the system, “What you call a god?”

    Yun Qi’s tears fell even harder. He hugged Lin Yan’s arm, pleading mournfully, “Can…can you not go, or…or…take me with you, you promised me.”

    If it were before, Yun Qi would never have said such words. He was used to being passive, felt that loss was to be expected, habitually looked for problems within himself first, and was constantly self-deprecating, but now…he didn’t want to be alone anymore, he didn’t want to lose his big brother.

    His big brother had said a couple of days ago that he would take him along, how could he go back on his word so quickly, how could he break his promise so easily.

    Even if big brother was going to leave in the end, he had to try.

    Lin Yan found it a bit funny, softly comforting the child who was about to break down from grievance, “Okay, I…”

    [Host wants to bring the little Emperor along?]

    The system’s voice appeared at an inopportune moment. Lin Yan patted Yun Qi’s head and retorted coldly, “Can’t I?”

    [The technical manual says…]

    A crackling sound of electricity rang out, and the unreliable system went to check the data again.

    Yun Qi heard Lin Yan say he couldn’t, and his face instantly paled a bit more.

    A crying child gets candy. Yun Qi had never been a crying child since he was young, always obedient and sensible, and expected to achieve great things…but in the end, what did he get?

    Now even his big brother was going to leave. If he didn’t cry, didn’t make a fuss, didn’t go crazy at this time, if he maintained his composure and kept smiling, what was the point of collapsing and screaming after the person disappeared before his eyes?

    Yun Qi’s tears flowed more and more, from silent sobbing to loud crying, accusing Lin Yan with tears and sobs of breaking his promise, crying so much that he hiccupped but didn’t forget to continue begging, “Big brother, I don’t want you to go…”

    Lin Yan hugged the person in his arms tighter, his voice becoming even gentler, “Don’t cry, don’t cry.”

    Yun Qi nodded, stubbornly wiping away his tears, barely stopping his sobs.

    He looked up at Lin Yan, and just as he was about to say something, tears uncontrollably streamed down again.

    Lin Yan struggled to hold onto Yun Qi, who was leaning on him again, never having hated himself so much for being so inarticulate.

    Yun Qi was so sad that Lin Yan’s heart also ached. His mind was a little muddled by Yun Qi, and he was just repeating words of comfort in a flurry, only now realizing what Yun Qi really wanted.

    Lin Yan pushed Yun Qi away, wiped the tears from his face, and looked into his eyes, solemnly promising, “Don’t cry, I won’t leave.”

    “Re…really?” Yun Qi wiped away the newly flowing tears haphazardly, turning from tears to a smile, “Then…”

    [Oh, oh, oh, found it, you can…]

    The system’s excited voice stopped abruptly. If it had a physical form, it would definitely have a look of bewilderment on its face right now.

    This scene was really too strange. The two people who were just fine a moment ago, how did they suddenly hug each other, crying and laughing?

    Could it be that they were too happy and went crazy with excitement?

    It seems that crazy-person novels are also very popular these days, but…it’s not good to mess things up near the end, right?

    The system trembled and cautiously asked.

    [Wh…what’s going on?]

    Lin Yan cleared his throat awkwardly, and patted Yun Qi’s head reassuringly, “How’s your research going, can I bring people along?”

    [Yes, yes, the host has completed the mission so well…]

    Can bring people?

    Looking at Yun Qi’s bright eyes, Lin Yan thought of the predecessor who had transmigrated—Empress Li, the girl who had raised Yun Qi, died with her ideals, and didn’t even leave behind her real name.

    If he could bring people, could it be that…

    Lin Yan pressed on, asking, “Then what about Empress Li? What are you going to do?”

    The system’s tone became a little bad, but it still gave an answer.

    [I will repair her soul and then send her back.]

    [However, she won’t remember anything here.]

    A young girl was trapped in the deep palace for more than ten years, and finally died in a strange fire…

    There’s nothing worth cherishing in such memories, so it’s better to forget them.

    Lin Yan nodded, agreeing with this plan, “That’s better.”

    Yun Qi hugged the cat and moved closer to Lin Yan, blinking innocently, “Can I bring the cat?”

    Lin Yan took White, the black cat, into his arms, gently rubbing its fur, the meaning was self-evident.

    “…”

    “…”

    The system switched to a businesslike mechanical voice.

    [Transmission consumes a lot of energy, please consider it carefully, Host.]

    Lin Yan put his hands together and bowed in front of him, “The last one, the last one.”

    A noisy electronic sound rang and disappeared, and the system’s voice, which rang again, became even more irritable.

    [Bring, bring, bring.]

    With the goal achieved, Lin Yan was not stingy with his rainbow farts: “That’s great, you are truly the best system in the world.”

    The naive system became shy, twisting and turning like a little girl.

    [It’s not that great.]

    Lin Yan gave Yun Qi a look, and Yun Qi immediately understood, nodding frantically, with a look of worship: “Yes, yes…”

    The system became even more embarrassed, very consciously whipping itself, and even drew a DDL for itself.

    [The host is bringing a lot of people, the transmission needs to be prepared, it is estimated to be…March.]

    As long as he could go back, anything was fine.

    Lin Yan nodded like crazy, “Okay, okay, it’s all a small matter, thank you~”

    The host was reasonable and capable, and the system was willing to remind him a bit more.

    [If there are any other people you want to see, host, seize the time to see them, once you leave, you won’t be able to come back.]

    “Once you leave, you won’t be able to come back…” Lin Yan seemed to be talking to himself, but he was actually saying it to Yun Qi.

    He had no attachment to this era, but Yun Qi was different. He was born here, grew up here, his relatives, friends, and all his memories were on this land, if he left like this…

    “As long as I can be with big brother…” Yun Qi threw the tool cat into the corner, and snuggled intimately in Lin Yan’s arms, “Wherever it is, I’m willing.”

    Then there was no problem.

    Lin Yan discussed a few more words with the system, and then turned his attention back to Yun Qi.

    Yun Qi looked dazed, the redness in his eyes hadn’t completely subsided, but he had a silly smile on his face.

    What’s wrong with this child, could it be that he’s been stimulated into a little fool because of too many ups and downs today?

    Lin Yan waved his hand in front of Yun Qi’s eyes, and Yun Qi suddenly came back to his senses.

    Yun Qi carefully approached Lin Yan, and seeing that Lin Yan didn’t resist, quickly pecked Lin Yan on the face.

    Lin Yan touched the place Yun Qi touched, the smile in his words couldn’t be hidden: “You’ve become bolder? You’ve learned to take the initiative?”

    Yun Qi quickly turned into a small tomato, but still nodded hard twice, muttering in a low voice, “If all this is a dream, then let it be a little more beautiful…”

    Lin Yan tutted, and raised his hand to give Yun Qi a crisp thwack, pretending to be serious and asking, “Do you still think you’re dreaming now?”

    Yun Qi hugged his head, shaking his head aggrievedly, his eyes full of accusation against Lin Yan for bullying him.

    “You think I’m bullying you? Then I, this evil person, must live up to my reputation.” Lin Yan rubbed Yun Qi’s head a couple of times, pointing to the cutting board with an “arrogant” attitude, “Go, chop these meats into fine minced meat, 30% fat and 70% lean, there can’t be any mistakes.”
