Do you have a system

“It’s all right. You don’t have to look at me like that.”

Inside the hospital room, Chen Qin shook her head as she looked at Aunt Li, who was worried about her. Seeing the concern in Aunt Li’s eyes, she forced a smile.

“Goodness, what a troublesome situation. He’s lost his memory and doesn’t even remember our Qin-baby anymore.” Aunt Li rubbed her cheek with a troubled expression. After all, Chen Qin and Ye Shuang had finally made it this far together. If Ye Shuang couldn’t remember anything at all, things would become extremely complicated.

“Mm.” Chen Qin gave a muffled reply. Her eyes were still red, but she tried her best not to cry.

Chen Qin had always been strong in front of others. She had simply reserved her softest side for Ye Shuang.

“There should still be a way, right?”

“I…I don’t know. He didn’t remember Zhao Mengyao even after his last bout of amnesia. I’m scared,” Chen Qin said. She wasn’t afraid that Ye Shuang might not remember her for a while. What she feared was that he might never remember everything that had happened between them.

All those little memories, all those promises, everything they had experienced together, and the future they had talked about so freely.

There were simply too many of them—far too many. If they all disappeared…

Chen Qin didn’t dare imagine it. Her heart felt as if it were about to shatter, especially when she heard that Bai Yuyou was Ye Shuang’s wife. At that moment, she had even been seized by the fear that Bai Yuyou would completely take her place.

She was afraid that she would never be able to enter Ye Shuang’s heart again, and afraid that she would never have anything to do with him again.

“I’m so scared.”

Hadn’t they already finally become a couple?

Why had something like this happened? Everything had clearly been developing in the right direction. The life she had once dreamed of, the life she had wanted more than anything, had finally begun.

“It’s all right. Little Shuangshuang will remember everything. Don’t worry.” Seeing that Chen Qin’s expression was growing worse, Aunt Li tried to comfort her. After all, she didn’t know what else she could do to make Chen Qin feel better. Memory loss was simply too rare an occurrence.

“…”

Chen Qin said nothing.

“After he’s discharged, why don’t you tell Little Shuangshuang about things that happened between you every day?” Aunt Li suggested.

At this, Chen Qin gently nodded. It was indeed a good method. If she kept at it for long enough, perhaps it really would work.

After a brief silence, a crisp sound rang out.

“Smack, smack.”

Chen Qin reached up and patted her cheeks, as if she were pulling herself together. “Since my husband doesn’t remember me anymore, I can’t keep moping around like this!”

“I believe in the bond between us!”

“Let’s go!” Chen Qin even waved a fist in encouragement, as if cheering herself on.

Seeing how quickly Chen Qin had recovered her spirits, Aunt Li relaxed a little as well. “That’s more like it. That’s the Baby Qin we know.”

“Something good is bound to happen.”

…

Meanwhile, elsewhere—

Ye Shuang was looking at the two girls in front of him. Their eyes seemed strange somehow, as if they were hiding some kind of secret.

“All right, don’t be nervous. We don’t want to make you cry,” An Shiyu said. She then took a phone from her pocket.

Ye Shuang took a closer look and realized that it was his own phone.

“Huh?” He instinctively felt his pocket and said, “What’s going on? Wasn’t my phone on me?”

The girl in front of him didn’t say anything. She merely gestured for him to look at the screen.

Confused, Ye Shuang unlocked the phone and discovered that the page displayed was the Notes app.

Notes…

Ye Shuang rarely used the Notes app, but whenever something important came up, he would write it down there. When he saw a file that had been created a week ago, he thought for a few seconds before opening it and reading its contents.

“When you open this file, I will already be ‘dead.’”

“You may have a lot of questions. Perhaps your memories have collapsed and you’ve forgotten many things. It’s also possible that you’ve only forgotten Chen Qin. But don’t be afraid. This is the same as the previous times. It is the price.”

“Chen Qin was facing the threat of death. I had to pay a price to save her, and that price was my memories.”

“Remember, she is your wife, your childhood friend, a girl whose eyes are filled with nothing but you.”

“There wasn’t enough time for me to think it through. But whether it was Bai Yuyou or Chen Qin, neither was a good choice.”

“If I used Bai Yuyou’s memories, that child, who was still receiving treatment for depression, might have gone to extremes. No—she most likely would have.”

“Considering how to keep everyone safe, I chose Chen Qin’s memories. It truly is cruel, but using Chen Qin’s memories to save Chen Qin was the only option among impossible choices. I couldn’t just stand by and watch her die, nor could I choose to sacrifice Yuyou’s memories and push that child to the brink.”

“Because I also understand that if Yuyou’s memories were gone, that child really might go to extremes. I don’t know whether you would have gone to help her then.”

“After all, I’m already dead. You definitely don’t know what I know, just as in the previous times.”

“The only thing I can believe in is the bond between Qin and me. Even if our memories are lost, that bond will not be severed.”

“Believe me. You will fall in love with her again.”

“There isn’t much time left. Remember to read the novel. It can correct your false memories.”

“That’s all.”

“I’m not a responsible person. I’m sorry. Please forgive me…”

“—Date, signature.jpg”

Ye Shuang: “…”

He silently stared at the message bearing his signature, taking in its contents. Then he suddenly let out a sigh, as if he had accepted what it said.

It was absurd, to say the least.

From Ye Shuang’s perspective, it felt as if he had simply woken up one day, only for his parents to point at a strange woman and tell him, “Your wife is right here.”

So which memories were real?

Was this world real?

Ye Shuang looked at his phone, seeming to realize something. He raised his head and looked at An Shiyu and Anshi Yi, who were standing there with their arms folded.

“You two…have you read this?”

After all, the Notes app had opened immediately. Clearly, the two of them had looked through it beforehand.

As for the password, An Shiyu had apparently registered her fingerprint on his phone before. Ye Shuang had no idea how she had managed to do that, but he had indeed trusted the two girls far too much. What they had done clearly shouldn’t have been allowed.

“Uncle, do you…have that so-called superpower?” Anshi Yi asked.

“A superpower, or a system?” An Shiyu added. “The answer may sound absurd, but once all other possibilities have been eliminated, then no matter how absurd it is, it must be the truth.”
