Chapter 215 Is the Matchmaker a Human Being?
Is Cupid a human being?
The sudden sound was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, startling Chu Jiuyue, who was deep in thought, so much that she trembled all over.
She turned her head in surprise and found that it was Xiao Ba, who hadn't appeared for a long time, who had suddenly appeared.
This unexpected situation not only surprised Chu Jiuyue, but also made Mo Wenchen, who was secretly following behind, frown and mutter to himself.
This mysterious and powerful system has been missing for a long time, as if it had never existed.
However, at this seemingly peaceful moment, it suddenly appeared without warning, a situation that is truly baffling.
Both of them speculated that the reappearance of the system was no accident and that there must be some unknown reason behind it.
Perhaps it is because a momentous event is about to occur, or perhaps it is because some crucial factor has triggered its return.
After all, without a special reason, how could this system reappear in people's sight after such a long period of silence?
“Host…” a gentle voice sounded in the protagonist’s mind.
"Xiao Ba, you've finally shown up! I thought you'd forgotten about me long ago." Chu Jiuyue said excitedly to Xiao Ba, which made Xiao Ba roll its eyes speechlessly, unable to refute its host.
"How could that be, host? I've always been silently protecting you, but I do have some urgent matters to attend to recently, which is why I'm temporarily unable to communicate with you," Xiao Ba quickly explained.
"Then what brings you here now?" Chu Jiuyue asked curiously.
"Host, my monitoring has revealed unusually strong fluctuations in your emotions recently. Out of concern for you, I rushed out to check on the situation," Xiao Bazhuang replied with concern, a hint of guilt in his voice.
"Oh, I see. Actually, I'm fine. I just suddenly felt a lot of emotions." Chu Jiuyue said casually, without saying whether she believed him or not, which made Xiao Ba feel uneasy.
"Host, please don't worry too much. I will always stay by your side and never abandon you. No matter what difficulties you encounter, I will do my best to help you overcome them as long as it is within my power," Xiao Ba assured the protagonist firmly.
"Really? Well, thank you so much, Xiao Ba. With you here, I feel much more at ease." Chu Jiuyue's tone remained calm and indifferent. Even when she expressed her gratitude, no one could hear the emotion in her voice. This left Xiao Ba feeling quite helpless, as its host still didn't fully trust it.
"No need to thank me, host. It's just my duty." Xiao Ba's tone was calm and gentle.
"So what should we do next?" Chu Jiuyue asked calmly, a glint of light in her eyes.
"Host, please don't panic. Calm down and let me explain the current situation to you so we can work together to find the best solution," Xiao Ba replied calmly.
Chu Jiuyue took a deep breath, trying to calm her restless heart. She was getting annoyed by Xiao Ba's procrastination and wanted to ignore it: "Okay, I understand."
"Host, please rest assured, no matter what difficulties and obstacles we encounter, I will always be with you and fight alongside you!" Xiao Ba said firmly.
"Yes, I understand." Chu Jiuyue nodded lightly, but deep down she was still filled with irritability and impatience.
Just then, the twinkling stars in the night sky seemed to be tightly tethered by the threads of fate, appearing particularly eerie.
Xiao Ba suddenly became hesitant, and its silence involuntarily stirred a strong sense of foreboding in Chu Jiuyue's heart.
How she wished she could bury her head in the sand like an ostrich, ignoring everything happening around her.
But how could someone as clever as Xiao Ba not understand her thoughts?
Suddenly, Xiao Ba spoke, shattering Chu Jiuyue's dream of escaping reality: "Host, have you already forgotten the promise you made back then?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Jiuyue's face instantly stiffened, and a complex feeling, difficult to describe, welled up in her heart.
How could she possibly forget that promise that she had made with such helplessness and reluctance?
Looking back now, those words were like a sharp dagger, piercing straight into her fragile heart, leaving her feeling both helpless and angry.
"Hmph!" A cold snort rang out, followed by a string of angry and dissatisfied words: "That was by no means something I willingly agreed to! With your coercive tactics, are you not even going to give me the right to refuse? This is nothing short of robbery logic! And those so-called chosen ones of destiny that you carefully selected, aren't they all weak-willed? Just a trivial little object, yet they can so easily lose themselves. What use are people like that in this world?"
Her words were utterly merciless, filled with sarcasm and deep disdain.
Moreover, a sense of disdain could be clearly felt in her slightly shrill and noticeably irritable voice.
This left Xiao Ba, who was standing to the side, feeling quite helpless. However, faced with this powerful host, he was at a loss and had no idea what to do.
"Why can't you choose someone with real potential? At the very least, they should be someone somewhat decent! Take that guy surnamed Wang, for example. He only encountered a minor sabotage, yet he's already trapped in such an embarrassing predicament. And look at everything that happened between him and that woman with potential—everything shows that he's utterly incompetent!"
At this point, Chu Jiuyue felt an extreme disgust for this man named Wang Baozi, and even her face unconsciously showed a look of aversion.
As for this person's character, he's not exactly completely bad, but he's not exactly good either.
Especially when it comes to handling romantic relationships, they really leave people scratching their heads.
He had a very vague grasp of the boundaries between men and women. Although he wasn't completely without a sense of boundaries, he could never distinguish the importance or urgency of things.
Take some examples. Knowing full well that certain actions might cause trouble or harm to others, he continues to hurt those who genuinely care for him and whom he should cherish, all to maintain the facade of "not harming others' reputations." This kind of behavior is truly short-sighted to the extreme!
At this moment, standing to the side, her eyes revealed deep disappointment and dissatisfaction.
She frowned slightly and parted her lips: "I really don't want to help. Can't we find another person with good fortune?" As soon as she said this, a sense of helplessness seemed to fill the air.
Upon hearing these words, Xiao Ba's face instantly flashed with an undisguised helplessness.
It secretly groaned inwardly. It didn't want to be like this either, but there was nothing it could do. Even if it didn't want to, it could only grit its teeth and grit its teeth.
So it took a deep breath, trying to make its tone sound calm, and said, "This Wang Baozi is indeed short-sighted, but we have no other choice right now."
However, Chu Jiuyue clearly didn't buy Xiao Ba's explanation. She snorted coldly, her face full of disdain for Wang Baozi, and said mercilessly, "Hmph, what use is someone like him?"
These words left Xiao Ba speechless. Although she felt extremely helpless, she couldn't think of any better words to persuade Chu Jiuyue, who was so determined.
"Aren't you making things difficult for me?" Chu Jiuyue frowned, her reluctance and dissatisfaction evident on her face.
She raised her voice and shouted angrily, "Listen to this! They can't be together in two lifetimes, isn't that enough to prove that there's no fate between them? Why should I force them to be together? This is simply going against the laws of nature!"
Chu Jiuyue became more and more agitated as she spoke, her hands waving unconsciously in the air as if she wanted to vent all the anger in her heart.
Xiao Ba, standing to the side, was rendered speechless by her words, opening her mouth but not knowing how to continue persuading her.
Xiao Ba thought to himself, "This is really a tricky problem. The host is so firmly opposed. What should I do?"
However, things have come to this point, and there is no turning back.
Recalling the moment she inadvertently agreed to the request, Xiao Ba couldn't help but feel remorseful. Although there was a certain element of transaction involved, since a promise had been made, she had to find a way to fulfill it.
“Host, you personally promised Him that you would help Him solve the problems of this world.”
Xiao Ba looked at Chu Jiuyue cautiously and said softly, "Your current state is really putting me in a difficult position. If you give up like this, wouldn't all our previous efforts be in vain? Moreover, if we anger the other party, the consequences could be unimaginable."
As Xiao Ba spoke, he observed Chu Jiuyue's changing expressions, afraid that he might say something wrong that would further anger her.
At this moment, Xiao Ba felt helpless. It knew that it couldn't be too harsh on its host, otherwise it might backfire.
So it had no choice but to lower its stance and keep coaxing Chu Jiuyue, hoping to arouse her sympathy or sense of responsibility and thus change her mind.
Unfortunately, despite Xiao Ba's earnest persuasion, Chu Jiuyue remained silent, her eyes revealing a hint of hesitation and confusion.
Seeing this, Xiao Ba secretly groaned, thinking that this mission would probably not be so easy to complete.
As Chu Jiuyue listened to Xiao Ba's words, her brows furrowed tightly, her face filled with undisguised displeasure, and a strong sense of disagreement welled up in her heart.
"Hmph!" Chu Jiuyue snorted coldly, her tone icy as she said, "It's not that I'm unwilling to lend a hand. Think back carefully to how many times I've helped him! But the crux of the problem is that he himself is simply too incompetent! That's why the situation has been unable to move forward." At this point, Chu Jiuyue couldn't help but shake her head, a deep sense of helplessness in her eyes.
She took a deep breath and continued indignantly, "Look at him, I don't know how many times I've warned him, but what about him? He's still stubbornly clinging to his delusions, making the same mistake over and over again with the same woman!"
For that imposter—or rather, for the very person who was the culprit!—he actually hurt those who genuinely cared about him. Isn't someone who can't distinguish right from wrong, who has everything backwards, incredibly foolish?
At this moment, Chu Jiuyue's words were filled not only with extreme disappointment in Wang Baozi, but also with obvious dissatisfaction that Xiao Ba could not understand her position.
Her gaze grew increasingly resolute, like two cold beams shooting out, seemingly able to pierce through the depths of one's heart.
That icy gaze, like ice that never melts, inspires fear in those who behold it.
After a moment of silence, Chu Jiuyue seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "By the way, has that transmigrator who vowed to keep fighting with Mo Wenchen shown up yet?"
Mo Wenchen was leisurely strolling in the courtyard when he suddenly heard a whisper in his ear, and the person being talked about was none other than himself!
This sudden turn of events startled him, and he froze on the spot like a statue.
A fleeting, almost imperceptible look of deep thought flashed across his deep, ocean-like eyes, followed by an undisguised inquisitive gaze.
His gaze, like two bolts of lightning, locked onto the petite figure not far ahead—his wife.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment, and everything around him became blurry, except for her, who was clearly reflected in his eyes.
Mo Wenchen stared silently, not uttering a single word for a long time. His heart felt like a jumbled mess of emotions, a mixture of feelings swirling together in a chaotic tangle.
He was utterly bewildered and curious about this suddenly appearing "time traveler".
Where did this person come from?
How did they manage to cross the boundaries of time and space to get here?
More importantly, why did she develop such a complex and intricate connection with him?
Mo Wenchen involuntarily fell into deep thought, his thoughts running wild like a runaway horse, galloping freely through the river of memories.
Those memories, once buried deep in his heart, surfaced one by one, yet no matter how hard he tried to search, he couldn't find the key clues to unravel the mystery. Everything seemed shrouded in a thick fog, making it difficult to see the truth.
