After digesting the meaning of the man’s words, Xu Sili glared at him with clusters of flames in his purple eyes.
The forum? Si Sheng could even see the forum?
“When did this happen?”
He stared at Si Sheng. Si Sheng looked away with obvious guilt and said in a low voice, “A few days ago.”
Xu Sili suddenly became angry. “Why didn’t you tell me then?”
Si Sheng pursed his lips slightly. “You didn’t seem to want me to see it…”
“So you didn’t tell me?”
Xu Sili’s voice rose several octaves. “You were always peeking when I was looking at it these past few days, right? Or can you also use that forum freely?”
Xu Sili’s heart thumped when thinking of the latter possibility.
If Si Sheng could also use the forum freely, did he already know what happened in another timeline?
Xu Sili might be angry with the other person for hiding this from him, but at this moment, he actually hoped the situation was the former.
Si Sheng had been paying attention to the young man’s expression and noticed the panic and worry in his eyes.
He couldn’t help frowning slightly.
Was there something in that world that he couldn’t know? Why else would Ah Li be so panicked?
He temporarily suppressed his doubts, gently took the young man’s hand and whispered, “Ah Li, I’m sorry. I should’ve told you as soon as possible instead of looking secretly with selfish motives.”
“I know I was wrong. You can punish me however you like if it makes you feel better.”
As he said that, he knelt down on one knee.
The man looked up at him. The gray-blue eyes were like the clearest and most beautiful starry sky. They were full of pious love.
Xu Sili had a cold face, but in fact, half of the anger in his heart had disappeared.
“How did you see it?” He asked while staring at Si Sheng.
Xu Sili obviously didn’t give him permission!
“I sensed anomalous fluctuations while you were using that forum.”
Si Sheng chose to confess.
“I followed the fluctuations and could gradually sense something vague. Then a few days ago, I closed my eyes next to you and actually saw a light curtain with words…”
Xu Sili frowned slightly, a bit confused.
Was it because Si Sheng was too strong? So he could sense the game system?
At the same time, he couldn’t help sighing with relief.
It was because it would be okay if Si Sheng could just see his operations because he hadn’t paid attention to the news about Si Sheng on the future timeline for ages.
He didn’t have a good impression of that Si Sheng.
He knew reasonably that he couldn’t blame that Si Sheng. Si Sheng did it to protect Roland. However, emotionally, he still couldn’t accept it.
It was because Snow Roland wasn’t just an NPC. He carried a lot of things, especially his family…
He even wanted to help Lilith in the future timeline, let alone his own family.
Then as the relationship with Si Sheng deepened, Xu Sili found that he was a bit in love and was troubled.
So in order to avoid the entanglement, he simply stopped paying attention to that Si Sheng.
Everything about that person had nothing to do with him.
“Tell me, what did you guess?”
Xu Sili looked at Si Sheng. With Si Sheng’s intelligence and sharpness, he must’ve guessed a lot from what he had seen in the past few days.
After all, Xu Sili had been stripped of his cover identity just a few days after he arrived in this world.
Si Sheng didn’t dare to hide anything. He carefully told what he had just asked about, as well as his guesses about the future parallel universe.
The more he listened, the more shocked Xu Sili was.
This guy really guessed the truth with such little information. Then his expression soon became strange.
“My second brother just answered you directly?” Xu Sili asked curiously.
“Yes.” Si Sheng nodded.
Xu Sili could probably imagine his second brother’s mood at that time. He was probably shocked and speechless as he had to explain CP fans to Si Sheng…
“In the end… what was his expression when he went back?”
Si Sheng recalled it carefully, “He was a bit tired and seemed a bit anxious.”
Xu Sili tilted his head and thought for a while.
His second brother was so anxious. Did he want the game team to add blocking words or something? After all, in his opinion, Si Sheng only came to ask him about such messy things after listening to the discussion of the players.
Forget the matter of adding blocking words. Some of the players’ words were indeed not easy for NPCs to hear.
He thought about it for a while before finally giving Si Sheng the answer.
“You guessed it right. The forum is indeed connected to an alternate world. That world is ten years faster than ours.”
“There is a lot of information and technology on that forum that we can use now, but the only way to redeem them is through points.”
“So you sent those photos to earn points?” Si Sheng asked.
“Of course. For the sake of Roland’s development, a small sacrifice is nothing.”
Xu Sili had a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.
Si Sheng stared at him. The corners of his mouth curved up slightly, but he quickly suppressed it again.
He thought…
This was probably only one of the reasons, right?
It was just that even though he quickly suppressed this smile, he was still discovered by Xu Sili.
Xu Sili narrowed his eyes and asked, “Did you also see the CP popularity rankings?”
Si Sheng sensed the danger. Before he could express his loyalty, he heard the young man click his tongue twice before continuing, “Marshal Si Sheng has formed a CP with over 30 people in the future. How do you feel about this?”
“Do you feel happy and proud?”
How could Si Sheng not hear the young man’s sour tone?
This was the first time he had seen the young man jealous. Maybe Ah Li had eaten vinegar many times before, but Si Sheng didn’t know it.
Si Sheng inexplicably remembered that the young man used to pretend to read books. Now Si Sheng knew he was reading a forum. After taking a look at it, the young man would sometimes bite his hand. Was this perhaps the reason?
He stopped kneeling down. He stood up directly and hugged the young man.
“That isn’t me.”
He hugged Xu Sili and observed the young man’s expression. After seeing that Xu Sili didn’t resist, he moved closer and gently kissed this person’s lips.
“It is enough for me to have your love. I don’t need anything else.”
Xu Sili snorted coldly. Of course, he believed in Si Sheng. He just felt unhappy.
Si Sheng leaned closer, touched his forehead and whispered, “If you aren’t happy, I will kill them all.”
The first one he would kill was Mu Xingzhou!
He said it lightly and casually, but Xu Sili knew that he did have this ability.
Moreover, that ranking list probably made him feel uncomfortable.
Xu Sili rolled his eyes and said, “Do you still want to kill Wen Jishan and Qiu Zheng? You also said it. That person isn’t you, and those people aren’t them.”
Si Sheng nodded but there was a bit of regret in his eyes.
He still thought it would be best to kill Mu Xingzhou.
After saying this, Xu Sili was no longer so angry. Nevertheless, he still took Si Sheng’s hand and bit the back of the hand.
Si Sheng said in a distressed manner, “You might as well use a knife or a dagger. Don’t hurt your teeth.”
Xu Sili didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
He thought for a while before saying, “Starting tonight, we will sleep in separate rooms. As a punishment, you won’t be able to sleep in my bed for a week.”
He originally wanted to say a month. Then he felt that this wasn’t punishing Si Sheng, but punishing himself. Thus, he changed his mind.
Seeing Si Sheng finally frowning with an uncomfortable look on his face, Xu Sili felt relieved.
Si Sheng also felt a bit relieved when seeing that Xu Sili finally wasn’t angry. The days to come might be a bit sad, but he accepted it.
“So you aren’t mad at me any longer?”
Xu Sili hummed in response.
Si Sheng slightly curled his lips. He looked at the young man with burning eyes and asked, “Ah Li, what about us in the future world…”
He wanted to ask if they were married.
But at this moment, it was a bit hard to ask.
Just as he was thinking about how to test it, he heard the young man say, “There is no me in that world.”
Si Sheng was slightly startled and looked at him suddenly.
“What do you mean…?”
“In that world, Snow was Snow. I wasn’t reborn in his identity.”
Si Sheng felt suffocated after hearing these words.
He remembered what Second Brother had told him before. Ah Li had been dead in the world of the braves for ten years.
So he had completely disappeared in the future world?
His body couldn’t help trembling a bit. So he was actually almost close to losing Ah Li, his god, forever.
Xu Sili finished speaking and observed Si Sheng carefully.
Seeing him fall into silence with a look of pain on his face, Xu Sili couldn’t help feeling a bit distressed.
But at the very least, Si Sheng wouldn’t explore it any further.
It was Si Sheng in the future universe who killed Snow Roland, not this Si Sheng.
Therefore, there was no need to care about this matter.
Xu Sili thought like this and finally stretched out his arms to hug Si Sheng back. He snuggled into Si Sheng’s arms and said, “This is why I didn’t want you to see that forum and understand that world.”
“But it is fine now that you know.”
“That world doesn’t have much to do with us. Everything has changed. You don’t have to be afraid of losing me. We will always be together.”
Si Sheng closed his arms and hugged Ah Li tightly.
He didn’t feel at ease at all when hearing Xu Sili’s comfort.
So, would Ah Li disappear from this world in the future? In the other parallel universe, what was the reason why Ah Li failed to be reborn in Snow Roland?
It was like a thick haze that hung over his heart.
In a flash, Si Sheng recalled the night when Ah Li came to this world.
He had figured out the matter between Snow Roland and the Bewatt people. In order to protect the Roland Empire and save him from possible troubles in the future, he decided to kill the weak new ruler and support a new emperor…
Yes, that night, he was just about to pull the trigger when he noticed a change in Snow Roland’s eyes.
Those eyes were once cowardly and didn’t dare to resist in the face of death threats. They were only filled with fear and begging for mercy. Suddenly, they burst out with a brilliant light.
He suddenly became a different person. It was this moment of hesitation that prevented Si Sheng from killing him immediately. But…
What if the him in the future universe didn’t notice this subtle change? What if… he still pulled the trigger the moment Ah Li came into this world?
The moment Si Sheng thought of this possibility, he felt as if his heart had been torn apart.
He couldn’t stop trembling again.
It was because he remembered what he tried hard not to think about and the fear he had suppressed deep in his heart.
Once, just a little bit away, he almost killed his god with his own hands…
