　　"….Say, where's the good and proper BL world you promised?!" When Sui Yuan had finished reading this world's plot, the first thing he did was direct his grudging gaze at 5237.

　　Contrary to expectation, 5237 did not respond for a long time.

　　"5237?" Sui Yuan suddenly had a premonition that something was not quite right and subconsciously raised his voice.

　　5237 suddenly shook. As if its spirit had suddenly returned, it circled around Sui Yuan once as it forced a laugh out : "Sorry, sorry. I just received some news so I got distracted. What were you saying?"

　　"…Why is this world still as strange as the last?" Sui Yuan composed himself, feigning disinterest while asking.

　　"This also isn't my fault QAQ" 5237 immediately adjusted its awkward-sounding voice, adopting a resentful tone as it responded, "You still have the nerve to ask this! Look at your points from the last world! Can you even look straight at what you've done?"

　　"I know that my score is really terrible, so I just wanted to know if there were any problems. Am I being penalized?" Sui Yuan's voice was calm.

　　"That's right! This is because—" 5237's accusing voice came to an abrupt stop. A long while later, it lowered its voice, "It's because you were messing around. A single make-up a.s.signment isn't enough, so you have to do it a second time…"

　　"What's the penalty?" Sui Yuan did not let 5237 evade the topic, and instead accurately pulled the conversation back on track.

　　5237 choked for a good while before reacting: "….Did you just try to take advantage of my lapse in attention to trick me into answering you?"

　　"Yup," Sui Yuan was not at all ashamed. On the contrary, he looked at 5237 with an expression full of honesty and pity, as if he was worried about its low IQ, "I didn’t think that you would not fall for it."

　　"….Little Sui Yuan has been corrupted by Zhao Xihe's bad example QAQ" 5237 at a loss, accused with eyes full of tears, "Where's my wittle innocent and naive Sui Yuan who would believe whatever I said! Huwwy and wetuwn him back to meeee~!!!!! uwu"

　　"Even if you throw a tantrum, act dumb, or act cute, don't think that you can get away with it today," Sui Yuan ruthlessly and shamelessly provoked the system, destroying 5237's wish to pretend that everything was fine.

　　5237 shut its mouth as it fell silent, becoming more uncooperative.

　　Sui Yuan sighed: "I know that you're worried for me and that you're afraid that I'll feel upset after hearing it, but I don't want to continue on in ignorance like this. Even if I were to be destroyed, this needs to be clear nevertheless."

　　"….Ok," 5237 murmured, tone no longer forcefully exuberant as before, "Although I still feel that you'd be happier not knowing, but since you've already realized, if I were to hide it, perhaps it'd end up even worse."

　　"Thank you," Sui Yuan thanked 5237 with utmost sincerity.

　　"Actually…… I should apologize first. After all, I….on the night I was born, I was unaware of a lot of things. I completely did not think that the review for changing from BG worlds to BL worlds would be so strict…" 5237 fell silent, crestfallen, as it nested into Sui Yuan's chest, its

　　As a system, 5237's feelings were not as rich as what it had showed on the surface. Its character had already been set. All of its reactions were more or less predetermined by its programming, but now, it truly felt a sense of remorse and sadness that would soon fry its circuits.

　　"This isn't your fault. It was for me that you decided to change worlds. Moreover, even if I didn't change worlds, how long could you protect me? We'd be discovered eventually," Sui Yuan was especially good at understanding other people. Or rather, he had long accepted that this day would come, so he was particularly calm.

　　"Since the auditing computer program has more authority than I do, it means that I am helpless and can't interfere with its judgement. Furthermore, its judgements are pa.s.sed to the upper levels, so…" 5237 swallowed down its next words, as it was unable to spit it out.

　　"So, my creator has realized that I am incapable of carrying out my duty and it's been decided that I will be destroyed?" Sui Yuan calmly added, "When? Now? Or will it be after this world?"

　　"……After this world," 5237's body shook lightly and it suddenly raised its voice, "Actually, it's not that terrible! Doesn't it give you one last chance? If you do your task well this time and don't mess around with Zhao Xihe, then the crisis will be over!"

　　Sui Yuan hung his head, his fine eyelashes covered his black pupils. His serene expression made 5237 unable to tell what he was thinking.

　　—-When did the child, who couldn't hide any of his emotions, grow up to be like this? Even if it was 5237 who had been by Sui Yuan's side all this time, it was also unable to figure it out.

　　"Hey, did you hear what I said?" 5237 b.u.mped against Sui Yuan's body, as if urging him. Sui Yuan's silence made him more and more uneasy, "Zhao Xihe will definitely come looking for you. When we see him, you have to speak to him! Tell him everything. Right now, there aren't any confidentiality clauses. He likes you so much so he certainly won't want you to be destroyed. He'll feel wronged this once, but once you've smoothly pa.s.sed the audit, then everyone will be happy!"
