CHAPTER 50 – Their Fate Is No Longer The Story's
Sirens echoed in the hallway outside.
Doctors rushed into the room to attend to the injured attackers and the patient. Security wrestled the intruders away.
But Gu Yanzhou saw none of it.
He was focused solely on Xiao Xi, holding her securely in his arms, feeling her tremble with every shallow breath.
Her System flickered in front of her eyes, displaying the final, terminal report.
[Root access conflict detected. Gu Yanzhou code dominance: 99%.]
[Host bond with Gu Yanzhou increasing. Emotional feedback loop complete.]
[Storyline resistance intensifying. Narrative rejection: Total.]
Xiao Xi swallowed hard, her gaze unwavering.
"The story is trying to erase us, Yanzhou. The world wants us gone."
Gu lifted her chin gently, forcing her to meet his eyes.
His gaze was fierce, loving, and completely devoid of fear.
"Then we erase the story," he stated, his voice a world-defining command.
Her breath hitched.
"You… you would destroy your entire world for me? Your company? Your life?"
He didn't even hesitate.
His answer was absolute, a foundational truth.
"You ARE my world, Xiao Xi."
She broke.
Tears spilled silently as she buried her face in his shoulder, the culmination of all her fear, fighting, and love finally released.
Gu held her tightly, pulling her closer, whispering a vow that transcended the confines of fiction.
"We're not following their script anymore.
We write our own."
The moment he spoke those words—the absolute rejection of the original narrative—the world around them flared, the hospital walls trembling violently.
Reality twisted and dissolved.
The System buzzed with a final, overwhelming notification:
[World integrity collapsing. Narrative Failure: Total.]
[New timeline forming.]
[Host and Gu Yanzhou designated as anchors of the new reality.]
Xiao Xi looked up at him, her heart pounding a frantic, hopeful rhythm.
"W-We're… rewriting the world?"
Gu brushed a tear from her cheek, his face illuminated by the swirling digital chaos.
"Together," he said, his voice ringing with power.
"Or not at all."
The hacker screamed a useless, silent scream of rage from a quickly darkening laptop screen nearby, their connection severed forever.
The world shuddered one last, mighty time.
And everything faded into a blinding, quiet white light—
as a new, unwritten timeline began to form around them, anchored by their impossible love.
