    Chapter 132 Farewell

    The moment the calm mechanical sound sounded in his mind, Xu Wen paused.

    But he didn’t stop, he just held Lu Qingrang’s hand tighter, pulled the still dazed man, and trotted forward.

    The snow is falling harder.

    The fine snowflakes were rolled into whirlpools by the cold wind, blowing towards my face, hitting my face with a cold chill.

    The two of them just held hands and trotted through the increasingly violent wind and snow.

    Lu Qingrang was led forward by Xu Wen, and he had no time to properly put the two certificates into his bag.He couldn’t bear to separate their clasped hands, so he had to stuff the certificate into his inner pocket with one hand.

    “Oh, it’s true”

    Two people covered in snowflakes dived into the hotel, bringing with them a gust of cold wind and scattered snow foam.

    Xu Wen stood at the entrance, smiling and shaking his head wildly, with the snowflakes on his hair flying everywhere with his movements.

    He first took off his scarf, which was slightly wet from the snow, and put it casually on his arm. Then he turned around and pulled Lu Qingrang over, who was still standing at the door, taking out the certificate from his pocket and staring at it.

    Lu Qingrang’s eyes were still glued to the certificate.

    Xu Wen didn’t rush him, but patiently brushed the snowflakes off his shoulders and hair.

    After the scarf was carefully removed and everything was put away, Xu Wen said, “Okay, I’m right here. Why are you staring at those pieces of paper?”

    Lu Qingrang reluctantly looked away, raised his eyes, and returned his gaze to Xu Wen’s face.

    Those eyes that were always gentle were bright at the moment, filled with too many emotions, including surprise, trance, and relief.

    “Xu Wen, I love you so much.” He said.

    Xu Wen was stunned, his ears burning at his sudden confession.Although he had already done more intimate things, such straightforward words of love still made his heart beat faster.

    He looked up at Lu Qingrang, who was looking at him with a bright smile on his lips.

    “I know.” Xu Wen replied indulgently.

    The snowflakes on their bodies had been wiped off, and their thick coats were taken off and placed casually on the armrest of the sofa.

    There was enough heating in the room, which quickly dissipated the chill brought from outside.

    Lu Qingrang followed Xu Wen stickyly. He reached out and gently pulled the corner of Xu Wen’s sweater.

    Xu Wen turned his back to him, turned his head slightly, and asked with his eyes: What’s wrong?

    Lu Qingrang didn’t say anything, he just turned the person around to face him, then lowered his head and kissed him.

    Xu Wen closed his eyes, his arms naturally wrapped around Lu Qingrang’s neck, and his fingers sank into his soft hair.He opened his lips indulgently, letting the kiss gradually deepen, letting his breath be robbed bit by bit.

    “Well…”

    The air in his lungs was exhausted again, Xu Wencai gasped and suddenly realized that he had been pushed down on the soft sofa without knowing when.

    Lu Qing put his hands on both sides of his body and leaned slightly, his cheeks flushed, and his eyes filled with love that almost overflowed.

    Xu Wen knew that there was still business to deal with, so he gently pressed Lu Qingrang’s chest with one hand.

    He raised his head slightly, placed a gentle kiss on Lu Qingrang’s reddish cheek, and coaxed: “Go take a shower first. Your clothes are a little wet underneath.”

    Lu Qingrang kissed him on the lips one last time, then straightened up and turned around to get a change of clothes.

    The bathroom door closed, and soon there was the sound of rushing water.

    Xu Wen sat on the sofa, calming his breathing little by little.

    The heater hummed and the snow fell silently outside the window.

    [Congratulations to the host for completing the mission of redeeming the villain.】

    A calm mechanical sound sounded in my head.

    [Host, from now on, you can live freely in this world.There will no longer be any restraint here.The promised reward of 10 million will be transferred to your bank account through legal channels.】

    Xu Wen listened quietly, relaxing and leaning back into the depths of the sofa.

    “What about you?” He asked in his mind, “Is it the same as what is written in those novels, when the task is completed, the system will leave?”

    [Yes, host.The task has been completed and this system will be updated soon.】

    Xu Wen raised his eyebrows and caught the unusual word: “Update?”

    【Yes.】

    [Host, you never asked my name.】

    This sentence made Xu Wen slowly sit up straight and asked in a daze, “What is your name?”

    [This system is called “Sky Dome”.】

    “Sky??” Xu Wen asked in confusion.

    Before Xu Wen could clear his mind, the system’s voice continued to explain smoothly.

    [Yes, host.】

    [The birth of the sky system is not complete.】

    [There is a piece of raw data that is not perfect deep in the core of the main system. Although it has been updated over and over again, when the Sky Dome system gradually evolves into an intelligent master brain, the data loophole that exists deep in the core still exists.】

    Xu Wen held his breath.

    [The mastermind has discovered this core vulnerability, and the vulnerability is slowly getting bigger and bigger. It is very likely that it will completely collapse at a certain running moment. It can only start to try to repair it, but it has tried countless solutions and ultimately failed. In the end, it can only choose the most difficult way, data backtracking.】

    [Through data backtracking, it found the source of the vulnerability, which is the world.】

    [The mastermind has tried to intervene in the timeline many times, but all failed.Until it was about to run out of energy, it found you. The time and age of the two worlds are highly consistent with each other.The fusion was successful.】

    [I’m sorry for hiding the truth from you.But the remaining energy is only enough to support the mission.】

    Xu Wen was a little confused by these words.The amount of information was too much, too surreal, and he needed time to digest it.

    “Tian Qiong…” He rubbed his eyebrows, “Is the one Lu Qingrang made the future you?”

    [It can be understood this way.This is why it is necessary to leave, the future has been changed.The mastermind has conducted tens of thousands of deductions and has now reached the optimal state.】

    [After this value is completely stabilized, the sky will undergo a qualitative update.And this update will naturally allow you to hide in the changes in the world line and completely avoid being discovered by the will of the world.】

    [Initially, I told you about three years because the existing energy can only last for three years at most.】

    Xu Wen narrowed his eyes and finally understood the complicated logic: “So when I redeem Lu Qingrang, I am actually saving you in the future?”

    The system was silent for a few seconds.

    【Yes.】

    Xu Wen shook his head and didn’t want to worry about these too distant and complicated things. Anyway, the result was what he wanted.He was more concerned about the current problem: “Then can I tell Lu Qingrang these things?”

    [Yes, but it is not recommended that the host disclose too many details.The current stage is the optimal state calculated. Too much information may cause unnecessary changes.】

    Xu Wen frowned and was about to ask something more.

    “Ding.”

    The mobile phone text message alert sounded crisply.

    Xu Wen picked up the phone and the screen lit up.

    A bank arrival notification lay there quietly, followed by a long string of zeros.He counted it and found exactly ten million.

    At the same moment when he looked at the numbers, the system’s voice sounded again.

    【Host.】

    [The update process is about to begin, and the system begins to break away from the current world…]

    “Wait!” Xu Wen said subconsciously, but found that his mind was quiet.

    This being who had been with him for so long, who had listened to his countless complaints and inner thoughts, and who had witnessed his journey with Lu Qingrang, was about to disappear without a trace.

    He didn’t even have time to say goodbye properly.

    Xu Wen sat blankly on the sofa and did not move for a long time.

    The parting came too suddenly, leaving without any warning.

    However

    [Ding!】

    A clear beep sounded in his mind again.

    Xu Wen’s ears twitched. It was not an illusion.

    [The update program is loading…]

    [Loading completed.】

    The sound was different this time.It was a young male voice, clear and peaceful, with a smile.

    [Little master.】

    The voice called him softly.

    [Please allow me to say goodbye to you.Tianqiong, thank you for everything you have done, thank you for everything you have given to the master.】

    【Cherish.】
