After calming down the sulking Tongtian, he once again opened the system's information and looked at the scenario of the world's destruction.
When the protagonist and the six male leads were together, chaos erupted in their families, and they began to pressure them relentlessly. Unable to withstand the bombardment from his family, the protagonist abandoned the male leads and ran abroad to escape the turmoil. Surprisingly, during this escape, he found himself in an unexpected romantic encounter! An attractive foreign girl took an interest in him! You should know that the protagonist initially identified as straight, very much so... Although he deeply loved the male leads, he was still in the process of adjusting to his new reality. Consequently, he ended up being intimate with the foreign girl.
There's a saying: "If you don't court death, you won't die." When the male leads who had pursued him found out about this, they were both shocked and heartbroken. Instead of becoming jealous of each other, they joined forces, captured the protagonist, and threw him into a small dark room. The protagonist felt torment, regret, and guilt, followed by anger, resentment, and frustration. Why should he be the one on the bottom? Why should he be controlled by others? Weren't these men all so in love with him that they were willing to share their love for him? Then why, when he finally acted on his desires, did they all explode?
"It's definitely not true love! You all only love the body of Shen Mengxi!" the protagonist declared.
The male leads, who were now suspected of having a complicated relationship with their feelings, felt that they had wasted five years. They toughened their hearts and upgraded his small dark room. The protagonist cowered and submitted, promising never to make any mistakes again and pledging to love the male leads faithfully for the rest of his life. The male leads also felt guilty. Their beloved had once been such a lively and cheerful person, and they had turned him into this submissive mess. They decided to release him... but the protagonist immediately went to find the foreign girl, saying he wanted to elope with her! The girl got furious, slapped him, and, after calling him a deceitful gay, left gracefully.
The protagonist was left dumbfounded, and the male leads, who had just softened their hearts, became furious again and threw him back into the small dark room!
In the decades that followed, this plot repeated itself in different ways and places. The protagonist had numerous flings, and the male leads became darker and more twisted, but they never left him. Finally, the protagonist managed to sleep with the wife of an unspeakable big shot... the male leads had no idea how to deal with this situation. They felt that maybe the protagonist would finally settle down now that he had been properly handled. However, instead of settling down, he grew to resent the male leads who had ignored him and also developed a hatred for the big shot. So... he slept with the big shot's son and daughter!
This caused a hornet's nest. The big shot was not to be trifled with, neither were his children, and his wife was even more formidable!
...And then, the protagonist was killed by the entire family of the big shot.
The male leads, who were no longer young, felt that their restless lover had finally pushed himself to the brink of death. Although they found him detestable, they had spent decades together, and their feelings ran deep. Since the big shot had killed him, they decided to exact some revenge. Thus, the two sides engaged in a never-ending feud, which eventually spread to their respective families. They fought and fought until several decades later when they finally crossed the country's borders and headed out into the world. About a hundred years later, the escalating conflicts between these powerful families had transformed the world's economy into a cesspool, utterly unrecoverable.
An economic crisis erupted, and the people of the world couldn't feed themselves, so they rebelled. They rebelled, and as a result, war broke out, and then war spread, and eventually, the world was finished.
Ye Zhizhou couldn't close his mouth from astonishment, and crows seemed to be circling in his head. This plot was truly beyond his wildest imagination. It wasn't a fairy tale of sweet love and happiness once they got together; instead, it was a chaotic drama involving a masochistic protagonist and a villainous cast. Impressive, truly impressive.
"Meow~" A little white cat nuzzled his finger and looked at him with wet, pleading eyes. He snapped out of his shock and couldn't resist petting the cat. The small mirror, not to be outdone, wiggled its fake ears and turned its white screen into a colorful display, sprinkled with stars.
His eyes were about to go blind...
He turned off the screen, holding the cat in one hand and the mirror in the other, sighing about life. With the protagonist's personality, he felt like he didn't need to manipulate the chances of the soul flags falling in love; they would do it themselves. As long as the protagonist didn't die in front of the male leads and as long as he quickly got the protagonist back into his own body! You should know that in the beginning, both the protagonist and the male leads in this world were straight! Straight guys aren't so easily bent!
A small lightbulb seemed to light up above his head, and he joyfully got up. He instantly felt that the mission in this world was super easy!
[Friendly reminder again: Please confirm the storyline timeline, Host.]
What's wrong with the timeline? He poked open the system's information, analyzed the plot timeline, and the joy on his face disappeared, replaced by shock. "The homeless man the original host hired is going to kill the protagonist today?!"
"Meow~" The little cat in his arms mewed sweetly.
The fake ears on the small mirror twitched, and the colorful screen displayed, "[Meow]."
No more meowing! Someone's about to die!
He rushed out of the door, searching for the location of Shen Mengxi's school in the system's information while dialing the phone of this body's brother, Shen Zixia.
"Sorry, the number you've dialed is not in service."
Damn it! How much does the original host's brother despise him? It's not just out of service; it's clearly on a blacklist! He quickly found Shen Mengxi's number and called, only to receive a message that her phone was switched off!
What's going on with these people?
He tried calling Cen Yuebai again, but it went to voicemail. He called Su Yu, and a classmate answered, saying Su Yu hadn't brought his phone. With one last shred of hope, he called the original host's mother, hoping for a rescue. This time, the call went through, but before he could speak, the phone ran out of battery and turned off.
"F***!"
The little cat nestled in his arms licked its nose and meowed, opening its mouth, "Meow~"
He wiped his face in frustration. Those male leads had fallen in love with the protagonist the moment they saw him die in front of them! The timing of this plot's timeline was too accurate!
Suddenly, he remembered that the original host owned a cool sports car. He quickly went back, found the car keys, and headed to Shen Mengxi's school.
On a sunny afternoon, six distinctive and handsome male leads gathered at the entrance of the female protagonist's school. They scrutinized each other, and the atmosphere was far from pleasant. The students who came and went gradually stopped in their tracks; some were secretly taking pictures, some were discussing, some were eager to approach and ask for phone numbers, and some were excitedly discussing their favorite couples. It was quite lively. In a corner not far from the entrance, a homeless man stared at the entrance with a sinister grin, glancing at a piece of paper in his hand.
Fan Lang wore a troubled expression as he approached the gate. He was deeply conflicted. How could all six of these outstanding men fall in love with him? Ah... If only they were six beautiful women. He wondered if those people would still like him once he confessed the truth. Actually, it felt pretty good to be taken care of by these people...
The school gate was close now, and a gentle breeze lifted her (him) long skirt and jet-black hair. She (he) raised her delicate hand to cover her mouth, her eyelashes fluttering... and then she (he) let out a loud sneeze... with a bubble of snot.
The male leads who were watching him from afar each turned away in unison, ready to watch the fairy tale scene unfold. The onlookers also regained their senses, gazing at the sky, the ground, and the air, hoping to forget the not-so-fitting big sneeze that had just disrupted the atmosphere.
The princess (male) finally stood in front of the prince. She (he) took out a tissue to wipe her nose, glanced at the male leads, and with slightly parted red lips, she (he) began, "I..."
The sudden screeching of brakes drowned out her (his) words completely. The onlookers turned angrily, then once again fell into a daydream—oh, another handsome guy! And he's driving a sports car! Today's plot isn't just about six heroes and one heroine; it's about seven handsome princes and a runny-nosed princess!
Ye Zhizhou stepped out of the car, right into the expectant gazes of the onlookers, and then, carrying the cat, he sprinted towards the entrance, fixing his eyes on the long-haired soft girl blocked by the male leads! She's alive... He breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his non-existent forehead, turned his head around, and started looking for the homeless man hidden nearby.
"What are you doing here? How do you plan to bully Mengxi again?" The first to step forward was the loyal and icy-cold Shen Zixia. He stepped in front of Ye Zhizhou, speaking sternly, "Don't embarrass yourself here, go back!"
Following him was the cheerful and sunny Su Yu. "Zihao, can you please stop causing trouble? We're all family; why do we need to quarrel like this?"
Next came the cold and beautiful Cen Yuebai. He sized up Ye Zhizhou and then fixed his gaze on him, asking, "Why is my cat in your hands?"
"Ah? Ah, I came to return your cat." Ye Zhizhou approached and handed the cat to him, ignoring Shen Zixia and Su Yu, and continued to look around.
Cen Yuebai took a step forward, pushing Shen Zixia aside to stand in front of Ye Zhizhou, staring straight at him. "I think I've seen you before."
The original host once stalked you for over a month, so it's not surprising you've seen him. Ye Zhizhou brushed him aside, anxiously searching for the homeless man's trail.
Cen Yuebai blocked him again. "What's your name?"
Fan Lang stepped forward in bewilderment and gently reminded, "Um... you guys seem to be looking for me, right? I have something to say... Hey, can someone please listen to me?"
Hearing his call, Zhang Lin and Cao Yu quickly approached him but were promptly pushed away by Fan Lang's disdain. Yin Feiyu stood on the sidelines, his reflective glasses hiding his expression, making it difficult to discern his thoughts.
Shen Zixia was infuriated by Ye Zhizhou's attitude and approached, seemingly ready to physically force him to leave.
A dark shadow suddenly darted quickly from behind the large trees near the entrance. Ye Zhizhou's eyes brightened, and he urgently pulled Cen Yuebai, who was in front of him, shouting, "Hey, buddy, watch out!"
His body acted before his brain could catch up. His psychic power expanded wildly as he rushed a few steps forward, pushing Zhang Lin and the protagonist aside. Just as he was about to dodge the long knife that the homeless man suddenly pulled from his jacket, a large hand suddenly pressed down on his shoulder. His actions involuntarily froze for a moment, and then, with a splash, the tip of the knife pierced his body, and blood immediately surged out. He stared wide-eyed at his abdomen, then turned in the gradually intensifying pain and looked at the person holding him, angrily pointing, "You, you..." A teammate who messed up.
Shen Zixia, who had been preparing to scold his younger brother, released his grip in shock. He watched as Ye Zhizhou collapsed limply to the ground, saw the long knife trembling slightly in his abdomen, and saw blood pooling around him. Shen Zixia couldn't help but step back a bit and stammered, "Zihao..."
"Ah—!!"
The crowd was in chaos, a mix of screams and shouts, piercing everyone's eardrums. Seizing the moment when the crowd hadn't yet reacted, the homeless man quickly darted into the shadows of the trees and disappeared.
Fan Lang, who had been pushed aside, happened to fall into the arms of Yin Feiyu. He turned to look at the spot where Ye Zhizhou had just stood and couldn't help exclaiming, "What's going on?"
Yin Feiyu pushed him away and hurriedly approached, pulling Shen Zixia, who was stunned, and the panicked Su Yu. He squatted down and examined Ye Zhizhou's wound, loudly calling out, "Call an ambulance! Quickly! Clear the crowd a bit!"
"Meow~" A small white cat suddenly ran over, gently nuzzling Ye Zhizhou's cheek and meowing softly, sounding very urgent.
"Why is there still a cat? Quickly take it away!" Yin Feiyu frowned deeply, carefully tearing open Ye Zhizhou's T-shirt to check the location where the knife had pierced. His expression became serious.
A pair of long and fair hands reached out to pick up the little cat, and then a cold voice sounded overhead, "Will he be okay?"
Yin Feiyu was focused on inspecting the wound and ignored the question.
The sensation of dizziness and numbness caused by the loss of blood gradually paralyzed Ye Zhizhou's body. His clear consciousness became increasingly blurred. He tried to widen his eyes, moving his eyeballs to search for the protagonist's figure, wanting to confirm if he was safe. The most innocent character in this world's plot was Shen Mengxi, whose body had been inexplicably taken away. He didn't want this girl's body to die like this. Perhaps... perhaps that lost soul that had been pushed out by the protagonist might come back at some point...
"What are you looking for?"
Who was speaking?
The familiar aggressive psychic power slowly closed in on him. His consciousness briefly cleared and then quickly blurred again. His fingers moved involuntarily. Was it... his lover? What was his identity in this life?
"I won't allow you to die."
With Tongtian here, how could he possibly die? He wanted to smile but slowly closed his eyes.
[Cen Yuebai's chances of falling in love with the protagonist have dropped to 0%, the first soul flag has been removed. Congratulations, host, please continue your efforts.]
Whose flag was that?
The sound of an ambulance approached, and he relaxed his body, letting his consciousness sink into the depths of darkness.
