Chapter 328 Agree to Stay
Tang Xia could hear the endless sorrow in his tone but she was helpless. She quickly grabbed Chu Tiankuo’s hand and tried to convey the warmth from her body to him.

She held his hand that was trembling from the anger. Chu Tiankuo calmed down slightly. He could feel that Tang Xia seemed a little scared and he noticed that he had scared her, so he slowly raised his hand to caress her cheek.

For some reason, Tang Xia’s body was very cold, just like her heart. She only had two choices.

If she killed the person in front of her, then she will save thousands of people. If not, she will listen to him and stay with him in this virtual world and be with him forever. The price to pay would be everyone who was doing live with her at the moment would be brought in as well.

No, there was still a third option.

As if suddenly remembering something, it was as if a meteor struck across her gaze that was dark as night. She looked at Chu Tiankuo firmly. “You are not just a past-time, knowing you is the best thing to happen to me.”

Chu Tiankuo was stunned. The anger that was originally in his eyes disappeared instantly without a trace.

She continued and said, “If it weren’t for this system, how could I have met you? I should be grateful for it. It bridged our encounter, don’t you think so?”

His gentle and misty eyes that looked at Tang Xia were dazzling as if she was the only one that existed in the world. She was always like this, living in his heart unknowingly. Each and every single word that she said could easily move his heart.

“But if we don’t destroy the entire system, we can’t be together forever. I know people get old, get sick, and die, but I don’t want you to. As long as data exists, we will exist. Isn’t that good?”

Chu Tiankuo’s tone was filled with helplessness, he just wanted to be with his loved one. Tang Xia did not know what to say, she lowered her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.

However, she did not know at this moment, outside the broadcast room, all fans and the company executives were all watching the live broadcast very closely. When the broadcast room heard that Chu Tiankuo was going to destroy the system and trapped all the streamers in the virtual world, they could not sit still anymore.

“My god! Will Chu Tiankuo really be able to do that? But at the end of the day, he is just a virtual character.”

“That’s right, it must be written like that on the script right? Is the company putting in so much effort just to hype up Tang Xia?”

“I think that’s the case! It’s not right from the beginning when Chu Tiankuo appeared!”

“Gosh! What can we do! This is the greatest crisis of the century!”

“…”

At this exact moment, the senior executives of Time-travel Broadcast Company were sitting nervously in the conference room. The live broadcast of the broadcast room was projected on the wall. Everyone’s hands were sweating.

An elderly senior executive could not help it anymore. He slammed the table violently and scolded loudly, “Can everyone still continue sitting down? Look at what’s happening now!”Read More chapter on our vi pnovel. com

Another young executive also rolled his eyes. “Do you think you’re the only one being anxious now? What do you think we can do!”

A woman looked at this bunch of old stubborn men and could not help but said sarcastically, “I think it’s either we don’t do it or we go all the way. We should destroy Chu Tiankuo and hack the system with a virus. It will save us from being so worried.”

“What are you talking about! Your parents are still supporting you, your family doesn’t worry about money, but we are all counting on the company to feed ourselves!”

“If we hack the system, although it will not affect the safety of all streamers, our company’s system will not be usable in the future! The company will then close down!”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone became silent. The reason why they did not speak up was because they knew about this and all the consequences. Hence, no one dared to speak.

They were different from outsiders, they all know what kind of existence Chu Tiankuo was – a monster that had his own set of thinking that was detached from the virtual world.

The woman sneered. She looked around the conference room and snorted ironically when she saw everyone remaining silent. “I say, it’s all because of your own benefits.”

Suddenly, her eyes became extremely sharp instantly.

She glanced around harshly and said coldly, “But you all knew a long time ago that if Chu Tiankuo this monster really destroys the system, thousands of streamers will be trapped inside and never come back. Can you guys bear responsibility for that?”

This sentence seemed to pierce into everyone’s heart. They all lowered their heads. She could not help but give them another wake-up call. “Which is more important? The company or the fact that you guys will be regarded as murderers?”

Being locked in the system forever was equivalent to dying inside. There was no difference. It may be more painful for family members.

Suddenly, all the executives slammed the table violently. After thinking for a long time, they said slowly, “Since that’s the case, let’s vote to decide.”

However, none of them saw that at this moment in the broadcast room, Tang Xia was trying her best to talk Chu Tiankuo out of it. Listening to Chu Tiankuo’s words, Tang Xia also became silent. Perhaps this was the only way they could be together forever.

Standing at one side, Ye Yifan quickly pulled Tang Xia behind him. He then looked at Chu Tiankuo with a caution. He stared at him coldly to signal to him not to come near. Although Chu Tiankuo was a little pissed, he also knew Ye Yifan was doing this for Tang Xia’s good.

Tang Xia was shocked. She was obviously not happy with Ye Yifan’s move. She frowned and looked at him and asked, “ Ye Yifan, what are you doing? I haven’t finished speaking to him. If you’re going to keep stirring trouble, just get out.”

Hearing this, Ye Yifan turned his head. He grabbed her by her shoulders anxiously and said agitatedly, ” Tang Xia, you must not do anything stupid. Just looking at your expression from earlier, I already know what you are thinking. Listen to me, don’t do it.”

Tang Xia became quiet as she looked at his anxious state. She lowered her head slightly. Ye Yifan had been with her for so long, they were partners who went through life and death challenges together. He had already understood the meaning behind each of her actions.

When he saw her lowered her head, he already knew what she was thinking. A tint of helplessness flashed across her eyes, and then a tint of despair. He let go of her shoulders slowly and his hands fell. “Really? Since that’s the case, I can’t stop you at all.”

Tang Xia glanced at him apologetically. Her tone was full of helplessness. “I’m sorry, I can’t just give him up like this, and I can’t bear to watch him make this mistake just like that.”

Ye Yifan nodded. He smiled faintly helplessly and stood aside.

Tang Xia slowly walked to Chu Tiankuo’s side. She stretched out her hand slowly between both of them. She smiled faintly, “Since that’s the case, I’m willing to stay with you to face everything and be together forever.”

Chu Tiankuo looked at the hand in front of him and froze. He looked at her in shock and asked in disbelief, “You’re really willing? But in that case, you’ll never return to the real world.”Read More chapter on our vi pnovel. com

“So what? I only need you.”

This sentence shone into his heart like a ray of sunlight. His whole person instantly felt warm. This virtual world did not seem so hateful anymore.

He slowly reached out and gently held Tang Xia’s hand before raising it in the air. He smiled genuinely. Looking at his smile, Tang Xia felt affected. Her unsteady heart calmed down instantly.

Her own decision was worth it.

“But if I stay, I don’t need other streamers to stay with me. You should let them go. Isn’t it enough to have me by your side?”

While saying so, she stretched out her arms and hugged his body slowly to feel his body temperature. He did not feel like a virtual character at all. He had flesh and blood.

Chu Tiankuo was startled. He pushed her away with some suspicion. There was a trace of hurt in his eyes and his voice became a little hoarse. “Did you…agree just so you can save them?”

Tang Xia did not expect Chu Tiankuo to think so. She instantly hit his chest angrily and scowled, “I’m just advising you, how could you think like that!”

Chu Tiankuo could not help but laugh out loud. He held her tightly in his arms. Tang Xia felt the immense happiness his whole body was giving. She herself could not help but curled her lips, as if they could just be together forever.

Tang Xia noticed Ye Yifan who was standing at one side, watching them with a black face and cold eyes. She pushed Chu Tiankuo away slowly. Chu Tiankuo looked at her in shock. He suddenly noticed Ye Yifan and the trio became awkward.

“In that case, you should go back first. Perhaps we won’t meet again in the future, but don’t worry, I’ll be very happy here.” After hesitating for a long while, Tang Xia could only say this.

Ye Yifan looked at Chu Tiankuo and suddenly ran up to him. He grabbed Chu Tiankuo by his collar and punched him directly. Tang Xia was shocked and quickly went to stop the fight. However, Chu Tiankuo raised his hand to stop her.

Tang Xia stood there feeling a little helpless. Chu Tiankuo touched the corner of his mouth and said coldly, “It doesn’t matter, let him hit. Perhaps I owe him these.”

After all, he had stolen Tang Xia away from him. This is hurtful for another person who loved her so much. It was naturally frustrating. He would probably feel better if he let him give him a few punches.

Ye Yifan started torturing him. Chu Tiankuo did not fight back at all. He just stared at Ye Yifan with a cold gaze. Tang Xia could only stand at one side. Since they did not let her interfere, there was nothing she could do.

“Okay, okay, that’s enough! Chu Tiankuo, are you looking for self-torture!” Hearing her voice, Ye Yifan also slowly stopped his hand. Seeing Tang Xia’s worried look for Chu Tiankuo, his final punch landed on the wall behind Chu Tiankuo.

“Chu Tiankuo, I have never thought that not only will I lose to you in a game, but I still cannot win you in Tang Xia’s heart. If we can redo this, let us have a fair and just fight in the real world!”
