　　Although the process was a bit difficult, Nan Gongyi and Ning Ze eventually got together. Ning Ze's constant pestering played a great part, as did Zhao Xihe's and Sui Yuan's example. Also, Nan Gongyi 'learned from their mistakes' and was not as conflicted about the opposition between their two factions as he had been in the original plot. Since they shared goodwill between them, then they might as well be together. In any case, Alliance Leader Nan Gongyi, who had been bent long ago by his s.h.i.+xiong, did not want a life where he ended up with a wife and kid.

　　Only, even though he's accepted Ning Ze, this lover of his would forever place his family's s.h.i.+xiong above Ning Ze. This made Ning Ze jealous to no end. Whenever he ate vinegar regarding this, Nan Gongyi would always retort with, "If it wasn't for the fact that you can't beat Yu Hao, would you ever have fallen for me? I'm just the same. I couldn't win over Yu Hao, so I could only settle for second best: you."

　　Ning Ze："………………QAQ"

　　——His black history was simply too abusive. Although his rival in love ultimately became his lover, a rival in love is a rival in love to the end. Both lovers shared a common unattainable white moonlight. This feeling was very invigorating.

　　In summary, even though Nan Gongyi and Ning Ze got together, the peaceful days Sui Yuan wished for remained far from reach. Only, he had gotten used to the chaotic situation. He even found that there was a certain fun in it. Of course, as long as Zhao Xihe didn't eat vinegar all too often, then everything was good.

　　After this world ended, Sui Yuan had his wish fulfilled and obtained a decent score. Of course, it was only better when compared to his scores in the past. The points awarded for the completion of the mission of eliminating the Destroyer and protecting the world was much higher than that of a mission where all they had to do was safeguard the plot. After all, the former required them to risk their lives—it was completely incomparable.

　　Sui Yuan, who received a ton of points, was satisfied. However, he would not forget the promise between him and Zhao Xihe.

　　"Then, the question this time: You said that my Creator imbued you with fake memories. Why did it do that?" Sui Yuan faced Zhao Xihe with a look of antic.i.p.ation.

　　"Because…" Zhao Xihe muttered to himself for a moment, as if he was choosing his words, "Because he wanted me to forget my original ident.i.ty, so that I would think of myself as a real person."

　　"…Wait a minute! A real person?!" Sui Yuan's eyes widened, "It can't be that you're the same as me? Not human?!"

　　Zhao Xihe smiled without a word.

　　This kind of tacit agreement stupefied Sui Yuan. Soon after, a happiness from having found a comrade bubbled up inside of him. The other Actors were all humans—they all have an abundance of emotions. Although Sui Yuan told himself that he didn't care about this, he still felt a bit lonely.

　　Zhao Xihe was also not human. He and himself were alike. This made Sui Yuan unable to suppress his joy, as if he had found a place and people to return to. Indeed, he and Zhao Xihe were destined to be together. They were the same kind of people.

　　However, if Sui Yuan was created to become the perfect supporting lead, then what was Zhao Xihe's purpose? He was a Lead Actor before. Did Lead Actors also need a non-human Actor to be specially made?

　　When he thought of this, Sui Yuan felt a bit frustrated. Zhao Xihe was perfect—the Creator regarded him as an important creation. Meanwhile, he himself was not perfect—a failure even. This made Sui Yuan feel a bit envious of Zhao Xihe.

　　Sui Yuan had an innate dependence and obedience towards his Creator. He wished that he could receive his Creator's praise, as Zhao Xihe did. However, perhaps he will never have the opportunity. It was like they were children competing against each other to gain favor within one family. Although the relations.h.i.+p between the children was good, when the parents only cared for one of them and neglected the other, the neglected child would still feel hurt, frustrated, and jealous.

　　Sui Yuan's expression kept changing. Zhao Xihe, who was watching this, couldn't help but laugh. He pulled Sui Yuan into his arms and rubbed his head, "What are you thinking about?"

　　"I'm a bit jealous of you," Sui Yuan replied honestly, voice m.u.f.fled as he buried his head in Zhao Xihe's chest, "Compared to me, the Creator obviously likes you, so I'm a bit envious."

　　Zhao Xihe's expression was a bit strange: "………………"

　　"What?" After not receiving any comfort like he had expected for a long time, Sui Yuan raised his head and stared at Zhao Xihe.

　　"…Nothing," Zhao Xihe coughed lightly and then intimately kissed Sui Yuan's forehead, "Even if he doesn't like you, as long as I do, it's enough."

　　"You're not him. How could it be the same…" Sui Yuan's lips curled up. His words were just his grumbles uttered without a thought. He didn't really take these things seriously.

　　Zhao Xihe："………………"

　　0007："………………"

　　5237："…Just how many meanings are contained within your silences?"

　　Seeing that Sui Yuan threw the matter to the side after speaking about it, Zhao Xihe lightly sighed, hand on his forehead. He also didn't know what he should say so he let the subject die. After muttering to himself for a while, Zhao Xihe finally brought up the issue from the previous world, "What do you think about the Destroyer?"

　　Once he heard how Sui Yuan did not even hesitate in saying the Destroyer's name, Zhao Xihe's face darkened.

　　"Eh…my thoughts…" Sui Yuan peeped at Zhao Xihe's expression "…Does it count if I say that I think that he's worth a lot of points?"

　　"No," the corner of Zhao Xihe's lips were tugged up slightly.

　　"Oh…" Sui Yuan lowered his head and line of sight, "He's a bit pitiful, and I find that I can understand him a bit. If you were to suddenly disappear…I would probably also become a Destroyer, ba…."

　　His head that had originally been covered by dense, dark clouds, immediately saw the sun rise high up into the sky. Zhao Xihe tried his best to suppress his lips from curling upwards.

　　"That d.a.m.ned Destroyer is a bit pitiful. For Mo Ziyou to do this for that person, makes me a bit envious…" When he saw that Zhao Xihe's mood was much better, Sui Yuan's grew more courageous. Unfortunately, his words stabbed the hornet's nest.

　　"When you suddenly disappeared, I nearly did the same. If it wasn't for the fact that your Creator appeared in time…Hehe," Zhao Xihe looked at Sui Yuan, smiling but not really smiling.

　　Sui Yuan："………………QAQ

　　——Begging you to not disclose my black history….

　　"Actually, I'm a bit curious as to why that Actor was killed. Did he make too many mistakes?" Sui Yuan tilted his head. Very quickly, he saw that something was about to happen and decisively changed the subject at once, "Was he like me and didn't complete the plot properly?"

　　"I don't know," Zhao Xihe shrugged his shoulders. He didn't care about the fate of that fellow. In any case, as long as the same thing did not happen to his Sui Yuan, it was enough. Or rather, he should be grateful for that person's disappearance!

　　In Zhao Xihe's eyes, Sui Yuan was Sui Yuan. Since he was recalled and remade, he had become a new existence and was entirely different from the him of before. Everything from before—no matter what it was—had nothing to do with the current Sui Yuan. He only needed to happily play the current 'Sui Yuan'.

　　Mo Ziyou could not protect 'him' because he was weak. But Zhao Xihe can protect him, so he would absolutely not put up with other people coming to s.n.a.t.c.h him away.

　　Sui Yuan was so precious to Zhao Xihe that no words could describe how much he cherished him. He was precious to the point that Zhao Xihe was unwilling to take any risks when it came to him, even if it was but a miniscule risk. Thus, Zhao Xihe selfishly hid away all of his conjectures regarding Mo Ziyou. He would absolutely not give anyone a chance to invade Sui Yuan's heart. He was afraid that, from a certain point of view, he was the one who came later. Zhao Xihe was never someone who would sacrifice his own interest for the sake of other people, unless it was Sui Yuan.
