You'd better look back, Mr. Shen is about to break.

Chapter 172 Removing the Thorn from the Heart

Shen Mochen carried her back without complaint, helped her take a bath, brush her teeth, and change her clothes. He was used to doing this every day, so he was very quick.

After completing all the bedtime preparations, Yu Nanqing wasn't woken up. Instead, just when everything was ready for her to sleep, Shen Mochen accidentally pressed on her hair while leaning over to turn off the light, waking her up.

Upon waking, Yu Nanqing looked bewildered, her bright eyes fixed on Shen Mochen, who was floating above her.

The cartoon pajamas bunched up as she leaned forward, revealing a large section of her fair abdomen with neatly arranged abdominal muscles, which looked incredibly tempting.

Yu Nanqing swallowed hard, her ears turning red. She was about to reach out and pull him up, but she couldn't resist. Her head moved faster than her hands, and she arched her body to bite his abs.

The sudden action caught Shen Mochen off guard. Although it didn't hurt or itch, it still made him groan involuntarily, and the desire that had just been extinguished suddenly rose again.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and he looked down at the culprit beneath him with a dangerous glint in his eyes.

When she met his gaze, Yu Nanqing stiffened slightly, her mouth movements gradually softened, her teeth slowly loosened, and her eyes flickered, as if she wanted to seize the opportunity to escape quickly.

But Shen Mochen was one step ahead of her, catching her just as she was about to crawl into bed. He held her waist with his large hand, staring at her intently for a long time before leaning down and biting her red lips.

The kiss was extremely long. When they finally parted, Yu Nanqing was already panting and her eyes were filled with tears.

Her eyes were red at the corners, making her look like a bullied little white rabbit. After a long while, she finally moved her lips, her gaze still fixed on Shen Mochen, "Why didn't you ask me about what happened before?"

She had wanted to ask and say this for a long time, but every time she asked and said it, Shen Mochen would either give a perfunctory answer, change the subject, or directly see through her intention to ask and say it, and pretend to be very busy to avoid it.

She knew in her heart that if she didn't clarify what had happened before, it would remain a thorn between them.

Just because things are fine now doesn't mean they'll be fine in the future.

Who knows if people will change their minds, or when they will change their minds? If that day ever comes, these things will become sharp weapons, piercing one side and leaving it riddled with holes.

Sure enough, when she said that, Shen Mochen's first reaction was still to run away. His eyes flickered as he prepared to get out of bed to find something to do.

Yu Nanqing frowned, and taking advantage of her drunken discomfort, she pounced on him as he got up and hugged him tightly, "Shen Mochen."

The person being hugged stiffened for a moment, then moved slowly, wanting to struggle but afraid of hurting her.

Yu Nanqing noticed his unease, and her eyes turned a little red. Thinking of pressing her advantage, she didn't care whether he responded or pretended not to hear her. "Shen Mochen, don't run away. This matter needs to be discussed. It must be discussed."

"I was previously bound to the system, and because of an agreement, I can't tell you the truth."

“But that’s all gone now. I’m free, so I can tell you anything you want to hear.”

"Shen Mochen, I want to tell you that I love you and I will never leave you again."

"This time it's for real, more real than real gold."

She spoke with such earnestness that it was impossible not to be moved.

Shen Mochen's eyes shifted, and after a long while he turned around. His face was expressionless, but his eyes were filled with endless bewilderment.

Seeing that he was willing to listen, Yu Nanqing began to speak.

Because there was so much to say, Yu Nanqing could only pick out the key points.

The story begins with her and Shen Mochen's awakening of their own feelings.

The world they should have lived in, in the context of World A, was a fictional novel world. In the original storyline, she was a vicious supporting character who loved the male lead so much that she would bang her head against a wall and frantically frame the female lead, while Shen Mochen was a major villain who loved the female lead so much that he would destroy the world. There should have been no interaction between them.

But who knew that she would fall in love with the villain inexplicably? She would do anything to pursue him. When the villain developed feelings for her, the plot collapsed. As a last resort, the system bureau that manages the world had to intervene to bring the timeline back to normal.

They initially targeted Shen Mochen, but his mental strength was too strong to bind with, so they could only bind with Yu Nanqing to make her stop and return the plot to normal.

However, Yu Nanqing didn't take the system seriously, thinking that there was something wrong with her head, so she continued to do as she pleased, pestering the villain every day. Helpless, the System Bureau had no choice but to decide to eliminate her. Unexpectedly, the system bound to her was a newbie who took pity on her when eliminating her and secretly sent her to World B behind the System Bureau's back.

However, unexpectedly, after Yu Nanqing disappeared, the original plot not only did not return to normal, but instead deviated further and further from the main storyline. Because without her role in the plot, the male and female leads did not fall in love for a long time, and it seemed that they were about to marry other people in an arranged marriage. The system department was in an uproar.

Seeing that the system bureau was about to be punished, the system that had previously bound Yu Nanqing stepped forward at the risk of being destroyed and teleported Yu Nanqing, who was living a miserable life in World B, back to the system.

To the surprise of all the systems, another accident occurred, this time involving Shen Mochen, whose memories had been completely erased.

For the first time ever, he imprisoned Yu Nanqing, who was supposed to seduce the male lead to complete a mission.

Although the mission was being completed little by little without any major incidents, the System Bureau had gone to great lengths to send Yu Nanqing away in order to prevent her from being with Shen Mochen. Now that the two of them had fallen in love in such a muddled way, all the systems in the System Bureau were terrified and on high alert. Unexpectedly, an accident still occurred.

Shen Mochen, the villain, actually wanted to kill the male lead for the sake of the vicious female supporting character.

That won't do. The only option is to force the female supporting character to leave and forcibly erase the villain's memories.

Who knew that this time the problem wasn't with the male and female leads, but with the villain Shen Mochen. His memories weren't erased, and he even turned so evil that he wanted to build a laboratory to destroy the entire world.

After several days of frantic discussions, the System Bureau finally decided to prioritize the greater good over the lesser consequences. Regardless of whether the male and female protagonists could ultimately be together, the existence of this world was the most important thing, so they brought Yu Nanqing back with them.

After a typical reconciliation, the world managed to stabilize to some extent.

Seeing that the world was stable, the elders of the System Bureau could no longer sit still. After all, their initial goal was to separate Shen Mochen and Yu Nanqing. In order to prevent Shen Mochen from turning evil again, the system elders unanimously decided to eliminate Shen Mochen and get rid of this scourge that could cause the world to collapse.

As for Yu Nanqing, they felt that she couldn't possibly have the ability to destroy the world, and they had already come up with a plan to deceive her after Shen Mochen's death by telling her the lie that as long as she obediently followed the plot, Shen Mochen could be resurrected.
