Chapter 893: I Exist for You 29

Actually Jin Chen doesn't care about these at all; he only wants Yishen to be happy and safe, but since Yishen cares, Jin Chen also cares all along.

For creators, plagiarism is an unforgivable stain.

Jin Chen held the person in his arms tightly, murmuring softly, "I've prepared hot water; go take a bath and rest, get a good sleep."

The freezing rain affects a wide area; tonight there likely won't be electricity or signal.

Yishen blinked, looking up doubtfully, "Then how did you get the hot water?"

Jin Chen opened his mouth, wanting to speak but hesitating.

He couldn't very well say he used Spiritual Power to heat it.

【Fun fact, during a power outage you can still use gas.】

The only smart one in this house, 0731 friendship reminder.

Oh right! Gas

Jin Chen suddenly realized, hurriedly saying, "Water heated by gas."

"Oh… right, a power outage doesn't affect gas."

Yishen, who usually uses an electric kettle, also just remembered, and gave him a reward-like kiss, saying, "You're really smart."

Obviously he taught Jin Chen how to use electrical appliances, but it's been less than half a month.

Jin Chen laughed somewhat guiltily.

【I'll give you an extra meal tomorrow.】

【I deserve it.】0731 confirmed.

With Jin Chen accompanying him, Yishen comfortably took a hot shower, and his mood relaxed considerably.

After bathing, the two embraced each other on the bed and fell asleep.

Not completely asleep, mainly because Yishen couldn't sleep.

Since he couldn't sleep, Jin Chen worried he was still afraid, so he forced himself to stay awake and didn't dare sleep.

The two lay in the warm blanket, staring at each other.

Jin Chen yawned, held Yishen close, ruffled his soft hair, and asked, "Yishen, why aren't you sleeping?"

Yishen's hair was messed up from the rubbing; in the darkness his face showed a hint of blush, he wrapped his arms around Jin Chen's neck and whispered his question.

"I want to know, did you really encounter no danger when you went to the Time Exchange?"

"Really, no danger." Jin Chen could hear what he meant; it was just that he wanted to know what Jin Chen had done there.

So he proactively reported everything, no detail too small.

Upon hearing that Jin Chen had actually returned to Xuyuchuan's timeline from eight years ago, Yishen's eyes widened, "So eight years ago I must have seen you again?"

"Yishen, you're really smart."

Jin Chen chuckled lowly, thinking of that matter, his sleepiness faded considerably, but he couldn't let only him find it amusing.

"Yishen, do you still remember, in the spring of eight years ago, the thing that happened at the lakeside park?"

Yishen frowned, trying to recall, uncertainly said, "You wouldn't be… that masked mysterious person, would you?"

The reason he could think of it so quickly is mainly because that spring, the most wondrous thing he encountered was exactly that.

And precisely because he met that mysterious person, it made him determined to submit his work, opening a completely new and different life.

Jin Chen snorted, nodding, laughing several times, "Yishen even blessed me and the person I like."

"Now my wish is fulfilled; as the blesser, how do you feel, Yishen?"

Yishen: "……" How come it's like this.

After a subtle shyness passed, Yishen thought of another point.

He lifted his gaze in the dark, tone doubtful.

"If… today you hadn't returned to eight years ago, then how did I previously become determined to submit?"

He feared Jin Chen might not understand his meaning, so he added, "I mean, the events of eight years ago are already a fixed fact, so we must confirm that you will return to that timeline today."

But all this is full of variables, and who is controlling it to make these events form a closed loop?

Jin Chen fell silent.

What a profound question, but it makes sense.

If he hadn't gone back, Yishen wouldn't have been able to firmly choose this path, and thus none of the following story would exist.

Who is making them follow the predetermined plot?

Thinking of that mysterious Huacishu, Jin Chen felt somewhat uneasy, his eyes deep and gloomy.

After voicing his doubts, Yishen also knew he wouldn't get an answer anytime soon, and soon fell asleep in Jin Chen's embrace.

【Hey Host! Protagonist top Xuyuchuan is dead~】0731 broadcast.

Twenty minutes ago.

While Yishen was still unconscious, the members brought out by Number One were all slaughtered by Jin Chen; he barely escaped using all his weapons, saving his life.

Number One returned to the Time Exchange, used life points to recover from injuries, then heard the shuttle inspector say that all members taken by Number Two, including himself, were permanently left in Xuyuchuan's day eight years ago because the shuttle was destroyed.

Number One could not describe the complex feeling he had upon hearing that news.

Regarding his own reckless biological younger brother, he had gone from years of helpless anger to now mutual hostility and being opposites.

Number Two could die at his hands, could die during a shuttle mission, could die from longing for that person.

But he absolutely cannot preserve his life forever in this way.

After searching all confidential files and documents, Number One finally found a way to bring his worthless brother back.

By exhausting all of Xuyuchuan's life points, killing him, to bring Number Two back.

After Number One found the method, without any hesitation, he immediately had the other members cooperate.

Number Two returned from the timeline, learned that Number One had saved him, after a moment of silence, went to fight him.

Still, no member dared to block them.

Everyone in the Time Exchange knew about the grudges between these two.

Number Two fought until both were bruised all over before stopping, then returned to the rest room with a hunched, badly injured body.

The Section Chief didn't care about their grudge, only about how to quickly resolve the issue.

"We must find new partners, and our own Fortune Value must be high enough—at least not worse than the dead one's."

"Yes."

——

Freezing rain fell for two days, snapping roadside branches and coating the wires in thick ice.

The whole city seemed frozen solid, with everyone eagerly joining the repair efforts, hoping to restore everything before the year's end.

On the third day, the signal was mostly restored.

Yishen compiled all the evidence and posted it on Weibo; this time there was no explanation or lengthy discourse, the caption only four words: "The innocent will be cleared."

The fans who had seen the evidence and the netizens who came to judge were all speechless.

No matter how you look at it, Kebi's seized advantage was merely a head start in the timeline, and even that was harshly slapped in the face by Yishen.

Thus, the netizens who felt deeply deceived began to go crazy again in the comments under Kebi's Weibo.

Kebi logged into Weibo, saw all the evidence, but was speechless, with nothing that could refute it.

Even Xuyuchuan couldn't be reached; the publishing house said he hadn't come in for days.

Kebi didn't know whether he felt disappointed or relieved, but he no longer wanted to have anything to do with the matter, and even his pen name was effectively ruined.

He still gave no response, merely deleting all his Weibo posts and then cancelling his account.

This was already the strongest response.

The book Frigid Winter Sea Poetry finally cleared the plagiarism suspicion.
