The System told me to cause trouble, so I did. It told me to make him hate me, but instead he brought me milk every day. It told me to set him up with the female lead, and he asked me, “Do you want me to get along with her?” It told me to break up with him, and he kissed my forehead and said, “Don't cry. I won't ask anymore.”
Later, the System told me I wasn't a Host. I was an experimental subject. If I failed my missions, I would be deleted. Every photo of me on his phone, every chat, every note would disappear.
He wouldn't remember me anymore.
In the final chapter, before the System disappeared, it said, “You can leave. After you do, he'll get together with the female lead. You can also stay. But this time, there will be no mission prompts and no plot armor. You'll just be an ordinary girl standing in front of him. He might not even look at you.”
I stood outside the school gates. He walked out, his gaze passing over me without stopping.
“Excuse me, do you know how to get to the lab?”
He paused.
“Which lab are you looking for?”
“Gu Huaizhi's.”
He looked at me for three seconds.
“That's me.”
I smiled. Tears welled in my eyes.
“I know.”
He couldn't recognize my face. But his heartbeat did.
