Chapter 146: Reunion

With regards to dealing with the system, Invigilator A had a plan. That, Qin Jiu knew.

He had always thought that he would naturally be dragged into the plan by Invigilator A but contrary to his beliefs, he wasn’t.

For a very long time, Invigilator A never mentioned his plan. It was as if to him, as long as he is certain Qin Jiu is someone with the same goals and isn’t standing on the opposition’s side, that alone was enough.

They had the closest of relationships and did the most intimate of things together, had the same goals and would help each other out, but they were still walking down two different roads.

This was a lone wolf’s nature. Qin Jiu knew this better than anyone.

He thought he was already the prime example of one but he didn’t expect that there would be someone else who would be more lone wolf than him —– Invigilator A was not only alone, there was also something else mixed in.....

At first, Qin Jiu didn’t know what this was. This continued until he found out about the true of origin of the system and Invigilator A.

When he once again saw those beautiful eyes that were once used by the system, he suddenly understood. That was a habit of his cultivated over time; it was a special way of closing himself off.

For others, closing themselves off was a way of protecting themselves but Invigilator A was different. He was protecting others.

He would always draw a circle around danger zones and would habitually sit himself in the middle of it and forcefully push everyone else out of that circle. This was just like how he was trying to persuade Qin Jiu to leave the system once he passes the examination and not come back.

To do this, Invigilator A deliberately said a lot of ruthless words, and Qin Jiu also said a lot of scummy things.

He would even try to coax the other party to lower his guard during their most intimate of moments.

As he watched the other person’s shoulders, neck and chest flush faintly red while their forehead is pressed against the back of their hands, firmly refusing to speak, he would secretly say to himself that he really was a bastard.

Sometimes Invigilator A would look at him impatiently through half-lidded eyes and heavy breathing.

If it weren’t for the fact that their bodies were entangled, Qin Jiu would even think that he would snort coldly the next second. Unfortunately, the situation greatly reduced the effect of that.

So he would often stare at Qin Jiu for a while and say in a hoarse voice, “You’re acting like an undercover agent right now.”

“Then can I succeed this time, Big Invigilator?” Qin Jiu would always tease him back.

And then he would say: “No.”

This negative answer continued for a while. In fact, it wasn’t that long but to Qin Jiu, it felt like a long time had passed. When he thought back later, he realised that the reason he would think this way was because they had too few opportunities to be alone together.

Again and again, he underwent re-examinations.

As the numbers accumulated, Qin Jiu could feel Invigilator A sometimes lowering his guard, revealing his innermost emotions. That should represent reluctance and softening. But the next moment, he would be cold and stern again.

But in the end, Qin Jiu succeeded.

The moment it was revealed, Invigilator Z Chu Yue was also present.

For the majority of that time, she spoke while the other two listened. Whenever A would speak up to add something, she would always look at Qin Jiu curiously. As she scanned him up and down, her gaze even seemed a little over-enthusiastic.

Later one day, she said to Qin Jiu that she probably wasn’t polite looking at him like that, but she was really surprised and curious. Before then, she had never thought that there would be a day when A would bring someone over to understand everything about them.

She said: To me and to him, this is the most forbidden zone.

The two head invigilators had planned this for a very long time. It was the best plan under the circumstances at the time —– The people involved were limited to the smallest amount so that the scope of casualties could be controlled to a minimum.

When the system is finally overturned and they safely return to normal life, he should find a good doctor to carefully check Invigilator A’s eyes.

It wasn’t to find out anything, it was just for the result.

With this his Big Invigilator can completely relax and no longer need to lower his eyes.

......

When he left the system, summer had just ended, and it was the beginning of autumn.

For the first few days, he was probably still in a comatose state. When he woke up, he found himself in a hospital.

It was a hospital associated with the army and the room was a mixture of pure white with occasional army green mixed in. He stared at the border between the white and the army green colours in daze for a long time until a nurse came and asked: “What are you looking at?”

He narrowed his eyes and fell silent for a while before saying: “It’s nothing.”

It was just that when the two colours are put together, his eyes couldn’t help but be drawn over.

He asked the nurse in a trance: “The ophthalmologist here——-”

He suddenly fell silent. Halfway through his words, he suddenly couldn’t remember what he wanted to ask.

***

The events during that time was actually more blurred than anything else.

Qin Jiu even wondered later whether he had really returned to reality or he if was still trapped in some corner inside the system.

He didn’t stay in that environment for long.

One morning, he was pulled into the system again. This time, it was with the Invigilator name.

He heard from among his colleagues that A and Z have the highest authority and are called the head invigilators. The others are ranked according to their strengths but because the single letters have all be used up, the rest of them must use letter combinations. His code name was Gin.

That afternoon, the old and new invigilators were called together for a meeting.

He ran into the Invigilator A his colleague had talked about outside the conference room.

He was wearing a plain white shirt with army green trousers and was talking to Invigilator Z beside him. For the most part, it was Invigilator Z who talked. He rarely spoke and would only occasionally nod.

When listening to others speak, he would always keep his eyes slightly lowered.

The early autumn sun filtered through the glass, casting light and shadow on his face.

Those eyes were clearly hidden in the shadows, but Qin Jiu felt at this moment that he could see the clarity of his eyes past that.

Invigilator A stopped a few steps away and looked up over in his direction.

Qin Jiu for some reason asked, “Have I met you before?”

Invigilator A didn’t speak.

Strangely enough, he appeared to be very calm but for some reason there was a brief moment where one would mistakenly feel that......he was actually very sad.

After a few seconds, Invigilator A retracted his gaze: “No.”

KK has something to say:

Their love is so beautiful ????
