Chapter 2311: Love and Chaos System Showdown 35

Ling Gun Gun bounced back.

【Host, I was going to intimidate…… no, I finished interrogating and came back!】

Jin Chen tossed over the chocolate, 【Explain in detail.】

Ling Gun Gun bit the chocolate and started chattering.

【When you arrived in this world, the Main God's soul fragment was awakened, the villain system just happened to bind at this time, soul fluctuations caused the original soul that had already experienced the original plot to not fuse well with the soul fragment.】

【That novice system somehow did this, just following the execution department's tactic of gulling anyone it could…… a vulgar trick, deceiving the Main God into thinking he's a soul from another world, so completing villain tasks lets him return to the original world.】

Jin Chen pinched the chocolate wrapper, "So……"

Unhappy, wondering if he's not the original You Le An.

He finished the last one, closed the box, wiped his hands, and walked to the study window; downstairs in the garden, You Le An was playing with the butler's Samoyed, and even from that distance Jin Chen inexplicably felt You Le An was still unhappy.

The knot in the heart needs to be untied.

Jin Chen thought, turned, and wanted to go downstairs.

He looked back, and the chocolate box had vanished without a trace.

Ling Gun Gun's beady eyes shifted, and he whistled a few times.

Jin Chen: "……"

——

Afternoon sunlight cast shifting patches of light on the garden path.

Just as Jin Chen stepped down the stairs, Lin Xi darted out from the nearby bushes and blocked his path.

"Brother!"

Lin Xi sprang out.

He seemed to have discovered some earth-shattering secret, glanced left and right, then lowered his voice and spoke mysteriously.

"I'll tell you a secret! A big secret about Le An!"

Jin Chen's steps paused slightly, he lowered his gaze to look at him.

"Speak."

Lin Xi himself felt the wording was a bit awkward, after hesitating he said: "You Le An might…… not be You Le An."

Jin Chen's gaze grew calm, without the shock or doubt Lin Xi had expected, "How do you know?"

Lin Xi choked.

He could say it was the Survival System's frantic alarm, warning of abnormal villain fluctuations, right?

That definitely couldn't be.

His eyes flickered, he stiffened his neck, tried to look reliable, and spouted nonsense: "Anyway… I just know! It's pretty mysterious."

Looks like it's the system again.

【Zero Egg.】

【Time to work, time to work~】

Jin Chen patted Lin Xi's head, "No nonsense."

Lin Xi:???

Wait a moment.

His brother's reaction…… is too calm, huh?

It seems he already knew.

Even knowing this kind of mysterious thing inside out—how awesome!

Just as Lin Xi was shocked by his brother's unfathomable depth, Jin Chen's gaze inadvertently swept over the corner of a flower arbor entwined with vines not far away.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, clearly revealing a stiff silhouette—it was You Le An.

He obviously heard the previous conversation, his beautiful eyes wide open, filled with panic and the fear of being exposed.

You Le An seemed to be scorched by Jin Chen's gaze, his body jerked, and he almost instinctively turned and ran!

Jin Chen; "……"

Jin Chen didn't understand why his wife ran away upon seeing him, but he still followed.

Deep among the vines, the light and shadows grew more elusive.

You Le An abruptly stopped in a blind spot shielded by a garden decorative pillar, back against the cold stone wall, breathing silently.

He is not You Le An.

Jin Chen knew.

Was that "no nonsense" meant to protect him, or just to stop Lin Xi from spreading rumors?

He gave up the chance to return for Jin Chen's sake, choosing to stay in this world.

But what if…… if Jin Chen knew the truth and no longer wanted him?

What should he do? Where could he go?

You Le An blinked hard, trying to push back the surging sourness.

No.

Can't escape.

Need to make it clear.

Jin Chen's earlier reaction seemed not surprised, or…… he actually already knew something.

That thought was like a faint light in the darkness.

You Le An seized a sliver of hope, gritted his teeth, no longer hiding, and ran back the way he came.

Just as he ran out of the vine's shade, he collided head-on with the pursuing Jin Chen.

Jin Chen watched You Le'an, who had gone and returned, his eye sockets still tinged with red, stop his steps.

He reached out his hand, gently pinched You Le'an's somewhat cold cheek, helplessly: "Silly, you see me and also run?"

You Le'an looked at Jin Chen, staring for a long while.

Jin Chen placed his hand behind his back, lowered his head and leaned in, the corners of his mouth holding a smile as he looked back.

You Le'an saw no rejection in those eyes.

His nose soured, his eye rings redder, he reached out his hand to Jin Chen, with a heavy nasal tone: "Hug..."

Jin Chen opened his arms and embraced him.

"How did you get scared." Jin Chen's voice pressed against his ear.

After a while, Jin Chen finally spoke softly, guiding: "Do you want to tell me yourself?"

You Le'an pouted in his embrace, accusing: "Lin Xi didn't... didn't he tell you all that?"

"What he said doesn't count." Jin Chen's tone softened: "I want to hear you say it yourself."

You Le'an's head, buried in Jin Chen's neck crook, twitched slightly.

Only the rustling of wind blowing through vines remained in the garden.

Finally, with a slight trembling sound, it came from Jin Chen's neck crook:

"Chen Ge, I..."

"I am not a person of this world."

Jin Chen's motion of stroking his back remained gentle.

Immediately, Jin Chen's voice sounded from above his head: "Do you still remember your previous world?"

You Le'an instinctively tried to recall.

The gate of memory seemed to be opened, but what surged in was chaotic mist.

He struggled to grasp something, but could recall nothing.

Memory was blocked by an invisible barrier.

You Le'an suddenly furrowed his brows, instinctively lifted his hand to cover his ears, his eyes full of bewilderment: "No, I don't remember."

Jin Chen placed his hand over the back of You Le'an's hand covering his ears, then slowly slid down, pressing the acupoint on his nape.

"Good, it's fine," Jin Chen kissed his brow, closely soothing.

"Just sleep and it'll be fine."

You Le'an felt as if all his strength had been drained, his vision began to blur.

His consciousness drifted, and he softly collapsed into Jin Chen's embrace.

Jin Chen caught him, his fingertips brushed over the slightly furrowed brow, lifted him horizontally, turned, and walked toward the Villa.

Lin Xi, who was still thinking ahead in the garden, happened to run into this scene.

He covered his mouth, no longer having the leisure to wonder why the survival system had suddenly lost contact.

Now the one who's turned dark seems not to be the villain, but his older brother!

Could it be that, knowing You Le'an is not the former You Le'an, they want to knock him out and hide him?!

Lin Xi hissed, turned and ran, his survival urge outweighing his sense of morality.
