An Xin, slightly taller than Wan Ru, spoke seriously.
"As you know, I am a newly created character.
So, do you know why I was created?" An Xin asked her in return.
Wan Ru shook her head in confusion. An Xin continued.
"Your transmigration process encountered problems with various consequences.
Originally, when you transmigrated to this world, you would have been accompanied by something called a system.
But you don't have a system, so where did that system go?" An Xin asked gravely.
Wan Ru vaguely heard An Xin speak, repeating the two words "system" in her head.
She could grasp the concept of a system, but based on what An Xin said, she knew nothing.
"Because you don't have a system, I was forced to appear to replace the system's tasks," An Xin continued.
"So, you are my system?" Wan Ru asked again.
An Xin shook her head and replied, "I am a human being; I have a system.
The tasks I perform will directly help you, whether a little or a lot."
"Wait! So what is your current purpose?" Wan Ru asked in a lowered voice.
An Xin was silent for a moment. She looked at Wan Ru's expression before slowly continuing.
"This world does not belong to you."
"What do you mean?" Wan Ru had a bad premonition. She frowned and asked again.
"Originally, your mission in transmigrating here was to help the original host achieve their goal.
But given the current situation, you understand it yourself.
The setup of this world has been changed by you.
Currently, I can only ask, when will you return to your own world?"
An Xin's question stunned her. Wan Ru remained silent for a long time.
The clouds overhead also obscured the moon's faint light, and her body darkened as a result.
This was what she had always feared. Her voice, full of weakness, asked An Xin again.
"How can I stay in this world?"
An Xin saw her emotions, all revealed through her disappointed expression.
An Xin only said.
"If you want to stay, you can only make the original host disappear.
Currently, you are in the original host's body, and the original host is drifting in some unknown space, so making the original host disappear is difficult.
You cannot stay here."
An Xin also shook her head helplessly.
The corners of Wan Ru's eyes began to redden. She thought of Chen Jiancheng, thought of Mei Jin, and even Ming Jian and Mei Jin's family, and she couldn't bear it.
She didn't want to leave this place at all.
"Can you give me some time to calm down?" Wan Ru said.
An Xin saw her looking sad and gently nodded. She took out a business card with contact information, handed it to Wan Ru, and then left, leaving behind Wan Ru's lonely figure.

After An Xin had gone, Wan Ru's tears could no longer be held back and streamed down.
After calming herself down, she slowly walked out into the yard. She watched Chen Jiancheng talking to the uncles in the house.
From her perspective, he was very handsome, a person who was both handsome and kind.
She also wanted to be by his side for the rest of her life.
Wan Ru kept to herself. Mei Jin, seeing her bad mood, didn't ask why. Mei Jin just sat silently beside her.
After a while, Chen Jiancheng came over. Seeing her melancholic expression, he asked worriedly.
"What's wrong, dear?"
Wan Ru looked into his eyes. She forced a smile and replied.
"I feel so tired. Can I go back first?"
Chen Jiancheng heard this and reached out to touch her forehead, then took her hand.
Her whole body was ice cold. He panicked and cupped her face, asking,
"Where do you feel unwell? Shall I take you to the hospital?"
Wan Ru shook her head and replied, "Just take me home!"
Chen Jiancheng looked at her worriedly. Seeing her tired expression, he could only do as she wished and take her home. The two said goodbye to the family members and got into the car to leave.
Mei Jin and Tan An both watched in silence. Suddenly, Mei Jin looked at Tan An with resentful eyes.
When Chen Jiancheng brought her home, he carefully accompanied her upstairs.
He helped her sit on the chair and then went to get her some water to drink.
Seeing his attentiveness, Wan Ru's mood sank even further.
Chen Jiancheng offered her a piece of candy, saying gently,
"If something's wrong, you have to tell me. I'm very worried."
Wan Ru looked into his eyes, trying her best to remain calm.
She said,
"Can you stay by my side forever?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't control herself and burst into tears.
Chen Jiancheng looked at her choked expression and felt endless heartache.
He didn't understand what had happened to make her like this. He simply wiped away the tears on her cheeks, gently hugged her, and then slowly said,
"Yes, I want to be by your side for a very long time.
Do you agree?"
His voice was as if he was coaxing her. Wan Ru, in his arms, heard him and gently nodded. She hugged him tighter and mumbled, asking,
"How can I stay by your side forever?"
Chen Jiancheng heard her, but he said nothing.
His emotions suddenly flickered. He didn't understand why she asked that, nor did he understand why she had become like this.
But he had a premonition that someone, or something, was about to take her away from him.
He comforted her. Her expressions made him endlessly worried.
