Scum Gong Walks the Career Line in the Crematorium

Shu Shuangyu noticed Lin Hanchuan’s icy expression, but he didn’t mind. After all, a cold and ruthless CEO should look indifferent. Only after successfully capturing his heart would Lin Hanchuan show a different expression to the one he loved.

The sense of accomplishment in conquering such a cold and aloof top figure made Shu Shuangyu unable to resist.

Especially since Lin Hanchuan was not just an NPC character from the quick transmigration worlds; he was the white moonlight that Shu Shuangyu had longed for, the male god he couldn’t forget.

Now, this male god had actually been taken by someone else. Shu Shuangyu felt extremely dissatisfied.

[System responses are only for reference, and there may be various discrepancies.] The system replied coldly and mechanically.

Shu Shuangyu snorted discontentedly. The admiration in his eyes, when he looked at Lin Hanchuan, diminished slightly. However, he maintained his enthusiasm and tentatively asked, “Senior Lin, the person waiting for you at home… is your boyfriend?”

Lin Hanchuan’s gaze became peculiar, pausing for a few seconds before he answered, “Yes.”

Shu Shuangyu’s face contorted for a moment, and then he expressed disappointment, saying, “In that case, Senior Lin, I won’t disturb you. I hope we can have a meal together in the future.”

With a strong yet crestfallen expression, if Lin Hanchuan hadn’t overheard his conversation with the system, he might have believed him.

[Lin Hanchuan actually has a boyfriend… It seems all these men are pretty much the same, not much difference.] Shu Shuangyu complained inwardly, [He’s just an ordinary man, shining brightly in my world because I like him.]

Lin Hanchuan, a man worth billions, handsome and exceptional, yet regarded as an ordinary man, was at a loss for words.

Not saying much to Shu Shuangyu, Lin Hanchuan politely bid farewell, returned to the car, and rubbed his temples. He felt more mentally exhausted than if he had just secured a billion-dollar contract.

His subordinates, whom he had promoted himself, had developed special feelings for him but eventually chose betrayal. The poor student he had sponsored in his youth had malicious intentions towards him, seemingly grateful on the surface but actually contemptuous.

For the first time, Lin Hanchuan felt that his judgment of people was quite lacking.

[Wuwu, Chuanchuan is so pitiful.] A sobbing voice rang in his mind.

Lin Hanchuan’s expression froze.

[Poor Chuanchuan, it’s not your fault. It’s all the plot’s fault…] 001 seemed oblivious and continued to talk to itself, [Who made you the protagonist and the seme in someone else’s novel.]

[What plot? Am I the protagonist of someone’s novel? Is it with Cheng Ding Chen or Shu Shuangyu?]

[Of course, it’s Shu Shuangyu! You are his white moonlight, his most beloved male god.] 001 instinctively replied, then suddenly raised its voice by eight octaves, [Chuanchuan! Can you hear me talking?]

Lin Hanchuan raised an eyebrow slightly, remaining calm and composed, [What’s the situation now?]

Through 001’s explanation, Lin Hanchuan got a general idea of the situation.

He lived in a novel called «The Protagonists in Quick Transmigration Worlds All Turned Dark».

It tells the story of the protagonist, Shu Shuangyu, who accidentally entered the quick transmigration worlds and had to clear each world by capturing the hearts of the protagonists. He could only leave the world when their love for him reached one hundred percent.

Originally a fishing king from the ocean, Shu Shuangyu easily gained the affection of all the protagonists. When their love reached ninety-nine percent, he chose to die in front of them, leaving an indelible mark in their hearts.

Thus, his love value reached one hundred percent.

After leaving all the quick transmigration worlds through his chosen death, Shu Shuangyu returned to his original world with newfound courage. He decided to approach his beloved male god.

This male god was wealthy, handsome, aloof, and unattainable. He had a tragic childhood, unloved and neglected, leading to his cold and isolated personality.

Using the experience gained from the quick transmigration worlds and various system aids, Shu Shuangyu successfully captured the male god and became the ray of light that warmed his heart.

Just as the two of them were in a sweet relationship, the quick transmigration worlds Shu Shuangyu had conquered encountered problems. Due to the tragic death of the male protagonist in front of his lover, all the protagonists turned dark, and the worlds were on the verge of collapse.

To solve this, Shu Shuangyu had to re-enter the quick transmigration worlds and conquer those protagonists again to save the worlds.

Helpless, Shu Shuangyu had to choose to die once more. In a car accident, he sacrificed himself to save the male god, becoming the eternal white moonlight in the male god’s heart.

After Shu Shuangyu’s departure, the male god remained unmarried for the rest of his life, always commemorating him.

Meanwhile, in the quick transmigration worlds, Shu Shuangyu got entangled in emotional relationships with those protagonists again, only to discover that all those protagonists were the same person. Their souls had merged, and they were happily together with Shu Shuangyu.

As for the male god? He was merely a youthful mistake in love, ignorant of true feelings.

Lin Hanchuan, the unfortunate and lonely child who lived his whole life with only Shu Shuangyu as a warm and pitiful male god.

After listening to the plot introduction, Lin Hanchuan furrowed his brow and asked, [Are those merged protagonists still the original individuals?]

001 seemed clueless and stammered, [They should be. The plot is designed that way.]

[Different appearances, different personalities, seemingly unrelated people from beginning to end, and they turn out to be the same person?] Lin Hanchuan chuckled, [Do they share memories? Whose personality takes precedence?]

[Chuanchuan, you don’t care about your own miserable life; you’re only concerned about those protagonist semes?] 001 couldn’t understand, [You are supposed to live a lonely life!]

Ignoring 001’s bewilderment, Lin Hanchuan continued to inquire, [It seems that we should be very familiar with each other? What have we been through? Why did I lose my memory? Is it related to Shu Shuangyu or maybe… to Cheng Ding Chen?]

001 fell silent and cried for help in its mind. The host was too sharp and intelligent, making it hard to keep up with him.

This is making the system’s head ache and hair loss.

Although the system itself doesn’t have hair.

001 didn’t answer, but Lin Hanchuan already had a guess in his mind. After this series of dialogues, the car had just entered the driveway.

As Lin Hanchuan was lost in thought, he walked through the front door and saw someone sitting in the living room, lazily half-lying on the sofa, watching a silly variety show on TV, holding half a watermelon that seemed to have been found from nowhere.

Upon closer inspection, there were various strange foods on the tea table in front of him, and Lin Hanchuan didn’t even know when he had bought those.

“You’re back.” Pei Cun naturally waved his paw at Lin Hanchuan and effortlessly gave up on the variety show and watermelon. He came forward attentively and helped Lin Hanchuan take off his suit jacket. “How was work today? Did you encounter any lunatics?”

Lin Hanchuan’s eyes flickered. “I did.”

“Damn.” Pei Cun couldn’t help but blurt out.

Then he froze and slowly, very slowly, looked at Lin Hanchuan.

The two of them locked eyes for a moment, neither of them speaking, as if invisible weapons were clashing in the air. Neither of them wanted to be the first to look away, as if the first to avert their gaze would lose.

Their two systems had shielded their owners and secretly placed a bet.

[007, who do you think will win?] 001 curiously leaned against 007, and the two adorable orbs crowded together.

007 remained motionless, allowing 001 to snuggle up to him like a little chick seeking warmth. [Your host.]

[Huh? Why?] 001 wondered, [Clearly, your host looks smarter and better at lying. Chuanchuan is an honest person; he can’t even handle a little bit of coquetry.]

007 looked at his own host, who was already showing signs of wavering, and said, [But your host has lost his memory.]

001 sighed deeply. [Right, he lost his memory. Then there’s no way.]

As expected by both systems, after a few minutes of confrontation, Pei Cun finally sighed, “Alright, alright, what do you want to know?”

Many thoughts flashed through his mind: Cheng Ding Chen, Shu Shuangyu, the systems, the original plot… Everything crowded his mind, but what Lin Hanchuan finally asked was, “What’s our relationship?”

Pei Cun smiled in response. He always seemed to be smiling, but his previous smiles were always casual and lazy. This time, his smile carried a hint of authenticity and meaning. “Do you really want to know the answer?”

Lin Hanchuan gazed into Pei Cun’s beautiful eyes.

“Are you not afraid that I’m deceiving you?” Pei Cun asked again.

“Would you?” Lin Hanchuan replied.

“I would not?” Pei Cun countered.

Another silence ensued, and then Lin Hanchuan slowly averted his gaze. He spoke slowly, “Do I… love you?”

Pei Cun’s usually smiling face froze for a moment as he stared at Lin Hanchuan with a glimmer in his eyes. Suddenly, he burst into a bright and brilliant smile.

He neither retreated nor advanced, standing proudly before Lin Hanchuan like a straight white poplar, full of spirit. “You’re right, Lin Hanchuan. You love me.”

In religious terms, one flower is a world, one leaf is a bodhi1The saying “One flower is a world, one leaf is a bodhi” suggests that within the tiniest and simplest aspects of existence, such as a single flower or a single leaf, one can find profound truths and insights equivalent to the vastness of the entire world or the enlightenment experienced by a Buddha. It emphasizes the potential for enlightenment to be found in all things, regardless of their size or complexity.. From a scientific perspective, there are countless parallel dimensions in the world.

Each world is like a separate balloon, independent of each other, but drawn together by invisible rules. Some worlds are large, some are small, some are close to each other, and others are far apart.

Pei Cun’s world was set several decades after the apocalypse. The doomsday had passed, but the chaotic social rules of the post-apocalyptic era still remained. Within the base, basic personal safety could barely be maintained, but once one ventured outside the base, disappearing anytime, anywhere was not an unusual occurrence.

Pei Cun was an orphan found by his master outside the base, and he was later thrown into the training corps. No one had expected that the seemingly obedient and adorable Pei Cun would outperform all the other kids in the training corps and become the top of his batch.

Due to his appearance, Pei Cun faced a lot of envy and disdain until his master, who had raised him, was killed by his enemies.

At the age of fifteen, Pei Cun spent three days and nights killing the well-guarded enemy responsible for his master’s death and placed the decapitated head on his master’s grave.

This act brought him fame, and since then, no one dared to look down on Pei Cun or even come close to him.

As he grew older, Pei Cun’s appearance became more impressive, but no one dared to glance at him more than once.

In the blood-stained and smoky past, Pei Cun had no deep memories or unforgettable feelings. His master had saved his life, and he had avenged his master. They owed nothing to each other.

Living casually or dying was all the same to him, but if someone dared to make him die, they would face his furious revenge—that was Pei Cun.

Until he was inexplicably chosen by the system and entered the quick-transmigration world, playing the role of a rebellious cannon fodder.

When he saw Lin Hanchuan for the first time, Pei Cun seemed to see himself as a person who had an opposite personality.

At that moment, Pei Cun developed a peculiar curiosity.
