Song Chuyi raised his hand to cover his eyes.
What a humiliation.
He couldn't even win against someone who was only thinking about his wife during the dice game.
Luckily, he had won once; otherwise, he would have really lost out!
Song Chuyi gave a push to Yuyu, who had fallen asleep while kissing, and sighed.
He sat up, wincing at the soreness in his waist.
Looking down, he saw a dense array of marks.
Is he some kind of dog?!
Song Chuyi put on his clothes and lifelessly unlocked his phone.
Someone had added him on WeChat.
He clicked to see that it was someone named "Tianxin" who had added him.
He checked the chat history and found that this "Tianxin" had joined the group last night.
He sang sweet songs that had completely charmed the boss who came into the room yesterday.
Why did this person add him?
Song Chuyi didn't accept the friend request.
There was no need to privately add friends since they could talk in the group.
He swiped the screen, pretending not to notice, and put the phone down.
As soon as he moved, his chest started to hurt again.
It must be scraped.
That damn Yuyu!
He regretted playing that game.
He hadn’t expected Yuyu to always roll a five or six, like he was cheating.
But there was some good news; he was going out to play today.
He had a written agreement, and neither Dan Yue nor Yuyu could escape it.
Song Chuyi thought happily, waiting for Dan Yue to wake up.
As dawn approached, Dan Yue woke up from his sleep.
He felt unusually heavy, as if he hadn’t slept well.
This was the second time it had happened. The first time was the day after his second personality brought Song Chuyi back, when he felt equally heavy.
Like all his energy had been drained.
Dan Yue's eyes flickered slightly as he pushed himself up to a sitting position.
"Last night..."
Song Chuyi looked at him.
The young man's pajamas hung loosely on him, the bruises on his collarbone easily exposed to Dan Yue's gaze.
Dan Yue quickly realized something and suddenly sneered.
"You saw him?"
His confident tone left no room for refutation.
Song Chuyi had no intention of refuting; he nodded calmly. "I saw him."
He took out the written agreement and pointed it out to Dan Yue.
"You signed this. It says you'll take me out to play today."
Dan Yue stared at Song Chuyi silently, trying to find any signs of fear, disgust, or contempt on his face.
But there was none.
The young man's eyes were bright, like a blazing flame.
Dan Yue raised his hand and covered his eyes, as if scorched by that brilliant smile.
"I see."
He murmured softly.
I see.
It seems my second personality had been waiting for this moment.
Song Chuyi tilted his head and poked Dan Yue's shoulder. "What are you saying?"
"Nothing," Dan Yue lowered his hand. "It's nothing."
He didn't dare to look into the young man's bright, clear eyes, nor did he want to see the bruises on that fair and delicate collarbone.
He silently got up and left the room, unable to face the situation any longer.
Song Chuyi sighed with a hint of regret. "Looks like we can't go out and play today."
He rested his hands behind his head and muttered, "This is so boring."
"Xiaotong, Xiaotong, I love coffee so much!"
"Are you awake yet?"
A moment later, Xiaotong's familiar sweet voice echoed in his mind.
"Host, I'm here."
Song Chuyi flipped over and hugged the little white bun tightly in his mind.
"Xiaotong, you're finally awake!"
Xiaotong: "Host, this world has undergone changes."
Xiaotong’s tone was solemn. "I’ll send you the original backstory first."
Song Chuyi straightened his expression and received the original backstory of this world.
In the original backstory, the host body was originally Song Tian’s older brother, who had died early.
After Song Tian’s parents passed away due to an accident, the host body took on the responsibility of supporting Song Tian.
However, the host body had only finished junior high school and had been tricked into owing a large sum of money, which he obviously couldn’t repay with an ordinary job.
So, the host body had to work as a bar server, using tips from serving drinks to pay off the debt and support his younger brother.
The situation took a turn for the worse six months ago when a drunkard started harassing him.
In the original timeline, the host body was tricked into taking drugs by the drunkard and his friends, leading to an overdose that killed him.
After learning of his brother’s death, Song Tian became determined to uncover the truth.
But he needed to support himself, so he joined the Yin Dou platform’s singing hall to make a living through singing.
Song Tian met several wealthy patrons and navigated between them, all the while never forgetting to investigate his brother’s death.
Finally, with the influence of several patrons, Song Tian discovered the truth and brought the people responsible for his brother’s death to justice.
As for Ning Xiuping, he became the antagonist mainly because Song Tian kept bumping into him while navigating the patrons.
Ning Xiuping kept running into Song Tian at the most unexpected times—dining with one patron, drinking with another, even in the restroom with yet another.
These repeated encounters raised suspicions in Ning Xiuping, leading him to eventually eliminate both the protagonist and the patrons.
As a result, the world descended into chaos.
This was the original story line, but now, because of Ning Xiuping’s chaotic actions in the last world, the original story background no longer applies.
Song Chuyi exhaled softly and asked, "When did Ning Xiuping’s consciousness arrive?"
Xiaotong: "Five years ago."
"Half a year ago, he saved the host body."
"However, by that point, the host body had already died, but Ning Xiuping used his energy to keep him in a state of suspended animation."
"The host body only had a lingering wish to take care of his younger brother, but for the past half year, this body has been a walking corpse, unable to go out."
"Ning Xiuping used medication on this body to ensure it remained intact until your arrival, and forbade him from going out."
Song Chuyi: "..."
"Truly insane."
Xiaotong: "Host, we were supposed to arrive six months ago, but Ning Xiuping’s interference delayed our arrival by that much time."
Song Chuyi nodded. "I know, don’t worry, the story line has only just begun right now."
Xiaotong: "However, we’ve been instructed to not only prevent the antagonist from destroying the world but also ensure the original storyline unfolds smoothly."
Song Chuyi raised an eyebrow. "What's up?"
Xiaotong: "I'm not sure, but the main system said we must stabilize the plot of this world."
"Also, we can't allow the situation from the previous world to happen again. You need to get Ning Xiuping and Dan Yue’s minds to merge, making them accept that they're the same person."
Song Chuyi responded, "Got it. Anything else?"
Xiaotong paused for a couple of seconds, then whispered, "Host, the villain's not easy to deal with."
Song Chuyi laughed softly. "Silly Xiaotong."
Of course, the villain isn’t exactly simple.
