Chapter 6 — Don't be afraid, I'm here

I thought this happy life would last until death, but unexpectedly the system brought bad news. 【Host, your mission is still not completed.】 I was stunned: "What? Haven't I finished it a long time ago?" 【The main mission of the host is: “Change the fate of tragic death.” Side mission: "Strategy for Co Son Hanh, make him love you."】 "That's right! Co Son Hanh loves me, then I won't die anymore!" The system was coldly silent, making me feel cold. I tremblingly raised Co Son Hanh's face and confirmed again: "Will you kill me?" His eyes were calm: "No." The system sighed: 【Host, have you forgotten who is the main character in this world?】 One sentence, like thunder in the ears. That's right. Me and Co Son Hanh... are not the main characters of this world. This world belongs to: Liangzhi and Wei Yunzhi. The crimes that "Van Vu" has committed must be paid for - that is the true spirit of "repaying evil for evil" that this era worships. If I were the author, I would also write the villain a tragic ending. Moreover, since the last incident at the hospital, Co Son Hanh has continuously secretly played tricks on Luong Chi and Wei Van Tri. — Luong Chi is hospitalized. — Wei Van Tri was hit by a car and still can't walk. Me and Co Son Hanh, no matter how we look, we look like the villains in the story. “The system… this outcome, can it really be changed?” 【Can be changed.】 “How to change?” 【Do you remember what the side quest is?】 “To make Co Son Hanh love me.” 【Just by completing the side quest, you can make Co Son Hanh die for you. In other words, the necessary condition to complete the main mission is to complete the side mission.】 I leaned my head on Co Son Hanh's shoulder, looking out the window at the sky, where white clouds floated. My heart fell into a very long silence. Made Co Son Hanh die for me. From the beginning, my mission was to dig a fatal trap for this man. “What if I don't want it?” The system sighed softly: 【The system has no right to force the host, this is your choice. The only thing is, if you don't do that... you will die very miserably.】 Witnessing with your own eyes the person you love dies for you, or dying yourself in pain - indeed, it is very difficult to choose. But at least, if I die, I can return to the real world, without losing my life. As for Co Son Hanh's death... he really died. I think… I'm not stupid. I can distinguish between pros and cons. “What are you thinking?” I came back to my senses and saw Co Son Hanh gently stroking my hair. “I was thinking… what to eat tonight.” He started pinching my lips, as if he were playing with clay, squeezing a little, stroking a little, smiling and asking: "Have you figured it out yet?" "Let's have dinner tonight. Go to the most expensive Michelin restaurant in the city. I've never tried it before." "Okay." 12 Those happy days, it was as if someone pressed the time-forward button. Up to now, Co Son Hanh and I have been together for three years. In the first few years, Co Son Hanh and Luong Chi fought, you live, you die. Both sides suffered heavy losses. In my final year, when I realized my time was running out... I offered to travel around the world. Co Son Hanh agreed. He arranged everything, taking me away from the battlefield, to a place where no one would recognize us anymore. That winter, we arrived in Na Wow. Winter has just begun, the high mountains are covered with white snow. Continuing deeper into the Arctic Circle, we entered a series of long days of eternal darkness — “the ultimate night.” People say this is the end of the world. A land covered by loneliness. But for me, this place... has become my favorite place. The thing we most often do is wake up every morning, walk hand in hand in the empty fjord, go to the end of town, go to a small hamburger shop, eat a delicious hamburger. Co Son Hanh and I's clothes are always matching clothes. Therefore, everyone in the store knows our faces. That day, when I walked out of the shop, it started to snow again. During the long period of nightfall, the snow-covered sky became unusually quiet and peaceful. I stood in front of the door, breathing away the cold. The sound of wind chimes behind me rang softly. Co Son Hanh walked out and followed. Then he took the fleece hat and put it on my head: "It's cold outside, put on a hat." I rubbed my cold, red hands, then slid my hands into the collar of his cashmere turtleneck to warm it up. Co Son Hanh had no choice but to pick me up, hold my legs, hug me and walk forward. “Que Hoa.” Since knowing my real name, Co Son Hanh has always intentionally or unintentionally called me that name. Listening to it, I realized... it's not as rustic as before. Que Hoa - so beautiful, it's not a hometown. I leaned forward and kissed him lightly. “Can I stay a few more months?” According to the system, the day of my death is near. If we don't come back forever, will it be possible to delay that separation, a little later... then a little later? Co Son Hanh gently brushed the snow off my hat: "Okay." Just like that, a few more months passed. The climax is over. One afternoon, when the sky was just shining with the first light, I woke up from a nap. And received a prompt from the system: 【Host, it's time to end. Are you sure you still don't want to let Co Son Hanh die instead?】 Waiting for three years, but when that moment came, I felt strangely... calm. There's nothing to be afraid of. I'm about to return home, right? It's just... it'll hurt a little. Co Son Hanh was still sleeping soundly, his arm still draped across my waist. I quietly got out of bed and gently tucked his hand into the blanket. After that, I looked at his sleeping face, bent down and gently kissed the corner of his lips. "Co Son Hanh... sorry. I have to go home." Co Son Hanh was still breathing evenly. There is no sign of waking up. Everything went smoothly. I quietly dressed, put on the cashmere wool hat Co Son Hanh bought for myself, and then walked into the blinding snowstorm. An image suddenly appeared in my mind before taking a nap - Co Son Hanh was still discussing with me, he would wake up later and go out to buy turkey. I say turkey is the worst dish on earth. Co Son Hanh still stubbornly wanted to eat, so the two of them made a bet. If I win, you will have to eat the weight loss menu with me for a month. If you win, I'll have to eat turkey with you every year. Even though I'm sure I won... but unfortunately, there's no more time to prove it. The cold wind whistled past, seeping into each slit of my shirt. I pulled my life jacket tightly, in the endless white landscape, walking quietly. The system just told me: I'm about to die. But if you don't say it, I will die because of it What. I just remember, something hit my head hard. When I opened my eyes again, I was trapped in a dark mountain cave. 「Brother Liang, do we need to kill Co Son Hanh too?」 「No need for further trouble.」 I opened my eyes and found myself tied tightly to a chair. On the chest, attach a countdown device. Luong Chi is now standing not far from me. The face is haggard and horrifyingly emaciated. Seeing me awake, he gave a cold, crazy smile: 「Van Du, long time no see.」 Over the past few years, both he and the female lead's physical condition has become weaker and weaker. I guess Co Son Hanh took action. I bowed my head, it took a moment to realize that the thing strapped to my chest was... a bomb. He wants to blow my body to pieces! Truly a death that "couldn't be more tragic". The moment I woke up, Luong Chi pressed the button on the remote in his hand. The red number sequence... starts counting down. Three hours left. I was so scared that my face turned white. 「Three… three hours?」 「Isn't it fun?」 Luong Chi stood high and looked down at me, his eyes full of hatred: 「That year, when you locked A Chi all night in the abandoned classroom, did you ever think about today?」 「Today, I will seal the exit of this cave. Ms. Van, during those three hours of living with that bomb, I hope you can repent for everything you did—— until you exploded into a pile of meat.」 I was really panicking. 「System, are there any props that can save me? Painkillers are fine!」 Being crushed by a bomb, just thinking about it is so scary that it makes me tremble. 【Sorry host, that function is not available.】
