He froze at the sudden question.
How should he answer? If he said he wasn't, would his parents have arranged for him to be engaged? Is that why she asks if she has someone she loves? But what if? What if he said yes?
"What should the system say?"
[Hey don't worry, your brother isn't married yet, it's not your turn]
He was relieved at this answer.
"But still, after my brother... he will come to me. I don't want to get married"
[...]
[You seem to forget a bigger problem]
"What?"
[Ahhh *sighs heavily*]
[You're a girl, girl!!!]
Yun froze. Later on...
The sudden question, the two people looking at him solemnly, turned their eyes to them.
"No" he replied calmly.
What can he say?
"Ah" Elena sighed heavily too.
"Oh" Nanren, on the other hand, dropped his seriousness and aged calmly behind him.
Yun:...
He was thinking about this problem in a confused way. 18 years old, legally old enough to marry.
Of course, neither he nor his family would have thought of this in advance. But he habitually tended to think straight ahead. Besides, he was a serious man in these matters, not interested in amusement.
He plans to spend his whole life alone, if possible.
He was the last person in the world to understand feelings, romance.
He's too busy right now, there is no such candidate, so what's the hurry?
It's not free. She can't even reveal her gender to her family yet. What can he do in this situation?
In short, he is dealing with a big headache right now. He couldn't deal with flowery bullshit amongst all that stuff.
"Mom, I just want to focus on my studies for now," she explained with a smile and a persuasive tone.
"Lesson? Yun I know you sleep every class, I know you're a troubled student who always gets into fights" Elena brutally smashed her lie.
Yun:...
What can he say now? You already know your high school information? Then the lesson cannot be an excuse!!
"Don't worry mom I'll work" she was still smiling, only her lips twitched.
"Oh, don't make excuses. You could have simply said you didn't want it" Elena sighed.
Immediately after speaking, Yun quickly confessed.
"I don't want to" keeping the same smile "Until I die if possible"
Her sudden frankness stunned Elena for a moment. Then, after a small laugh, she said, "So be it."
As Yun relaxed, his entire body, which had been tense, relaxed again.
***
The rest of the day passed calmly and slowly.
-Boss mission completed.
He was deep in thought as he looked at the message from Rofei.
After a while, he finished his thoughts and picked up his phone again. Boredom and having nothing to do led her to habitually to the site she opened.
He started writing a novel while he had a hobby.
-Create Account
He opened the same account as in his previous life.
-Ding!
This account is already registered!
He didn't hesitate.
It was the first time in this world, after the apocalypse, to enter this site.
He accessed his account by entering the login section. Messages piled up like a mountain, a few books he wrote casually were already in the top 50.
However, he did not write in this world.
He wrote all the fiction in his previous life.
So what was this?
"System?"
"What does it mean?"
[I uploaded for you]
"Is that so ?"
Why would he upload unnecessary fictions that he sees as a hobby to the site? He shouldn't care. There was something else in this business, the system is covering it up.
"Thank you"
It's just sometimes best not to be too smart.
If he's hiding, it won't work to pierce his lie, it will only frighten the snake.
[You're welcome]
He checked his account. His followers exceeded a thousand and approached a million.
He was a good reader rather than a good writer. Frankly, all the positive reactions surprised him. He was extremely clumsy when he wrote this.
It was really surprising that the reviews were so positive.
There were even those who reproached that new fiction did not come.
He did not think of writing.
Writing was hard work if he wanted to produce original work. It was necessary to really live the character, to feel what he felt. They must have personalities, each one a different person. Progress had to be well planned, boring descriptions had to be discarded. It was taking time.
When he wasn't writing an episode, he felt restless, feeling irresponsible, and some days he had a headache while thinking about it.
However, it was also a pleasure to read the reactions given in the comments. It can be said that it has become his only pastime in this world now, so his hand involuntarily slipped back to the create new edit section.
The words flowed in succession, forming a long section like drops of water, forming a lake. As you can see, the waters were flooded.
When a long chapter was completed, he stared silently at the text in his hand. You ask why ?
A description full of technical details made you feel like you were reading a long article. He wanted to write better science fiction than the first one he wrote. As realistic as possible.
But what they have is a bit extreme...
The sudden dog bark startled as his fingers reached out to wipe the partition!
-Haw! Hr!
He was speechless when he looked at the position of his finger.
-Congratulations! Your new fiction has been published!
Yun:...
law: hehe
Can't delete anymore. If he deleted it, he should write a new chapter and what he wrote would be no different. The result is the same.
Therefore, after a deep sigh, he took out his cigarette and lighter and lit it. He muted notifications again as he took a deep breath of the smoke.
He then left the site by logging out of his account.
In other words, it can be said that he left the fiction directly.
He extinguished the cigarette, which had reached half, and threw it in the trash. He opened the door and went out. The barking dog must be Nanren's.
Let's see what he meant.
-To be continued-
