Chapter 411: A Meaningless Death Won ‘t Make Me Disappear
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Shanchu was shocked and turned around with a wary expression.
Lin Suguang stood silently at the balcony door, holding Lin Shanchu’s coat in his hand.
He walked over to Lin Shanchu and reached out to put the coat on her.
Lin Shanchu dodged him warily.
Lin Suguang sighed helplessly and stuffed the coat into Lin Shanchu’s hands.
“Put it on yourself.”
The way he sighed was exactly the same as her uncle in the past.
Lin Shanchu lowered her eyes and put on her coat.
She pulled her coat tightly around herself and looked up at him. “Why are you awake in the middle of the night?”
Lin Suguang said expressionlessly, “1 heard you cursing me.”
Lin Shanchu could hear a hint of grievance in his emotionless tone.
“I didn’t curse you,” Lin Shanchu said as she pursed her lips.
“I heard you scolding me in your mind.” Lin Suguang paused for a moment and said unhappily, “You even compared me to Number 2580.”
These words sounded a little ridiculous.
However, Lin Shanchu did not deny that she had indeed cursed him in her mind.
She was more curious about the latter half of his words.
“What Number 2580?”
“It’s that useless system that has been helping Lu Shiyuan.”
Lin Shanchu only told Huo Xunzhou that Lu Shiyuan had the help of the system.
She never mentioned it to Lin Suguang.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for Lin Suguang to know about it unless Huo Xunzhou told him.
However, she knew Huo Xunzhou’s character very well.
It was impossible for him to tell Lin Suguang about it.
She could find a thousand or ten thousand reasons to refute Lin Suguang’s so-called “sweet novel system” , but she could not avoid it when the truth was in front of her.
Lin Shanchu bit her lips and then let go. In the end, she forced herself to accept this fact.
“Where did you take my uncle?” “Your uncle is me. I’m your uncle.”
“Impossible!”
Almost immediately, Lin Shanchu rejected his statement.
“I grew up with my uncle. When I was young, he always bought me delicious food and helped me teach those who bullied me a lesson. He is a living person and it’s impossible for him to be a cold, heartless system!”
After saying that, Lin Shanchu stepped forward and held his hand, sounding a little agitated.
“Your hands are warm and you have body temperature. This is a body of flesh and blood. This is my uncle’s body!”
Lin Suguang looked at her and his tone was undeniably calm.
“That’s right, this is a conscious body of flesh and blood.
“The consciousness in this body has always been me. The identity of Lin Suguang exists to protect you.
“A few years ago, part of my consciousness was sealed because of the strong magnetic field of Number 2580. Therefore, I only remembered that I was Lin Suguang and forgot that I am Number 1357.
“Shanshan, whether I’m Number 1357 or your uncle Lin Suguang, our duty is to protect you.”
Lin Shanchu turned her head away in resistance.
Who could accept that their most important family member was actually just a tool that had been arranged?
Number 1357 was different from her uncle, Lin Suguang.
There was a fundamental difference between them.
Seeing her like this, Lin Suguang did not say anything to urge her. He just stood at the side and quietly accompanied her.
After a long time, Lin Shanchu finally found a point to refute Number 1357.
“Are you the uncle in the original book?”
“Then why did you end up dead in the original book?”
“Because the mission failed.” The expression on Lin Suguang’s face became compassionate.
“What mission?”
“The mission to protect you.”
After thinking for a moment, Lin Shanchu connected the dots between what Lin Suguang said earlier and what he was saying now.
“You said that you were in charge of managing the sweet novel and that I was the best sweet novel female lead you had ever taken care of. I’m now in an angst novel world, and in order to protect me, you became a supporting role in this world…”
Lin Shanchu looked up at Lin Suguang to confirm if her guess was correct.
Seeing Lin Suguang nod at her, she took two steps forward and continued to speak.
“Then here’s the question. Why would a sweet female lead like me be in an angst novel?” Lin Shanchu stared straight into his eyes.
However, Lin Suguang avoided her gaze.
Lin Shanchu laughed as she continued, “The reason is simple. It’s because of your dereliction of duty.”
Lin Suguang’s expression stiffened.
Lin Shanchu knew that her guess was correct.
“That damn system from before…” Lin Shanchu was afraid that he could not understand her, so she explained, “It’s the useless system with the Number 2580 that you mentioned. It said that it’d be punished in the book if it could not complete the mission.”
“So, you became Lin Suguang not only to protect me, but you are also being punished because you made a mistake, right?”
Lin Suguang lowered his head without a word. Tilting her head slightly, Lin Shanchu looked at him and asked, “Am I right?” Lin Suguang continued to nod silently.
“In other words, because of your dereliction of duty, I became the female lead in the so-called angst novel, lost my parents when I was young and had to live under the control of that scumbag Lu Shiyuan?”
Lin Suguang said in a low voice, “I’m sorry, I’ll try my best to fix the plot and make it up to you.”
Lin Shanchu stared at him coldly, gritting her teeth and clenching her fists.
If it was not for the fact that he had the face of her uncle, she really wanted to push him down from here.
“A meaningless death won’t make me disappear.” Lin Suguang said suddenly,
“It’ll only make me continue to exist in another way.” Lin Shanchu knew that he had seen through her thoughts again.
“How can you know what I’m thinking?”
“I can only sense your thoughts about me. I can’t sense any other thoughts.” Lin Shanchu heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing his words.
If Lin Suguang knew what she was thinking, she would really be unable to resist killing him even though he had the face of her uncle.
It was because the feeling of living under the surveillance of others at all times was too terrifying.
“What does a meaningless death mean?” Lin Shanchu asked.
“I exist to make up for my mistakes and protect you, so I can only die to protect you. Any other death is meaningless to me.”
It turned out to be like this?
Swoosh!
The balcony door opened again.
“Sister Lin? Uncle? What are you two doing standing on the balcony so early in the morning?
He Xiang looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.
“We couldn’t sleep, so we were just chatting.” Lin Shanchu lied without changing her expression.
He Xiang touched her arm and said, “But it’s so cold outside. Let’s chat inside. I’m going to make breakfast.”
She left after saying that.
Lin Shanchu looked at the time and realized that it was almost 6:00 a.m..
