Mr. Melancholy Wants To Live A Peaceful Life

CHAPTER 90

The System had taken a long time to plan this time. It had sent five Destroyers at once and used the safety of the common people of the Xuyang District to force Yu Hua to unseal his abilities. It had also used others' lives to force Yu Hua into the little world. You Zhengping had thought that as the System's trump card, Guan Shaoguang should have been Yu Hua's enemy, or at the very least his former opponent. But when he had seen the slightly childish Yu Hua, and Guan Shaoguang, who had yet to become deadly still, You Zhengping had realized that he had guessed wrong.

Guan Shaoguang had met Yu Hua during their eleventh level. They had been friends and struggled together, with the common goal of defeating the System. But now it seemed that they had fallen out. Why would it be like this? When he had seen the twenty-year-old Yu Hua, You Zhengping had suddenly found that he didn't understand Yu Hua all that well.

The Yu Hua he had met at the very beginning was an ordinary person who longed for a family. He had hinted countless times that he wanted to get married. He was a good, domestic partner. After they were married, You Zhengping had felt that Yu Hua had some OCD tendencies, that he liked to look after people, but after an adjustment period, they had gotten along very well.

Following the black-cloaked man's appearance, You Zhengping had gradually become aware that his husband had many stories—a complicated, painful, unspeakable past. For the sake of his identity as a Protector, You Zhengping had chosen not to ask about Yu Hua's past.

He had thought that as long as Yu Hua wasn't the enemy of the Protectors, as long as their hearts were together, then the past wasn't important. There was no need to interrogate it. They only had to live well in the future ahead of them. But when he had seen the young Yu Hua, You Zhengping had realized that he could no longer overlook Yu Hua's past.

How had he become the way he was now? Why would his former like-minded friend have fallen out with him and become his enemy? How had the once weak Yu Hua become powerful enough to seal half of the System's power? Why had the Yu Hua who possessed all that power been willing and happy to come to an ordinary world and become an ordinary person who would roll up his sleeves and cook soup for his husband?

Normally You Zhengping didn't dare to ask, couldn't ask. But the You Zhengping in the time law little world seemed to have been unfettered by something. Here he didn't need to hide his identity, and neither did Yu Hua. Through coming in contact with the Yu Hua of this time, he could understand another side of his husband.

The passage of time around him suddenly slowed. You Zhengping knew that this was the next time node chosen by Guan Shaoguang. He quickly made preparations to join in battle. When the dizzying passage of time ended, You Zhengping found himself among ruins. There was a blood red sun in the sky. Like the moon, the sun was only half a sun. The temperature of the surroundings was around -40°C. You Zhengping was dressed in the cut up clothes and flip-flops he had worn to his blind date with Yu Hua. He was instantly chilled into a shivering fledgling. He quickly gathered his power to resist the cold.

Fortunately, when he had worn this outfit full of holes, he had already learned how to use his power to withstand extreme temperatures. Otherwise, the temperature alone would have killed him. You Zhengping smacked his face to clear his head from being frozen just now and walked forward in his flip-flops. When he had gone only a step, one flip-flop got caught in a crack in the cement. You Zhengping yanked twice and found that he couldn't yank it out. He simply abandoned the shoes and went barefoot.

During the contest game before, You Zhengping had for some reason taken over Guan Shaoguang's identity. He had been wearing the green team uniform and sneakers issued by the System for the contest game. Yu Hua had been in a red team uniform. So You Zhengping hadn't realized then that under his team uniform had been his ragged jeans and ragged t-shirt. Now that Guan Shaoguang had changed the time node, You Zhengping's new clothes revealed their original form.
