Months flew by in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Yang Yu went to work as usual at eight o'clock. He had become accustomed to this life. Ever since he had given up on trying to figure out what world he was in, he hadn't used his abilities once.
This self-reliant life wasn't bad at all. His salary was only five or six thousand yuan, which made living in a big city like Tianhai difficult. But Yang Yu didn't mind; he actually enjoyed this kind of life. It felt real.
But his thoughts of finding a girlfriend gradually faded. He couldn't bring himself to date anyone who wasn't pretty, and beautiful girls would never look at someone like him, who could barely afford to support himself.
This placid, uneventful life was shattered today.
To be precise, it was shattered by a terribly off-key singing voice.
I had just delivered drinks to a table of customers when I heard a voice so terribly out of tune, it made my ears bleed.
Do you know the taste of pain?
Pain is because you want to forget someone.
Do you know the taste of forgetting someone?
...
Yang Yu looked up and saw a beautiful woman, drunk and belting out the lyrics, her voice atrocious. When he saw this woman, a buzz went through his mind.
Yang Yu immediately used his abilities to search the bar.
Soon, he spotted a man with small eyes sitting alone at the bar, with a few drinks in front of him.
Yang Yu instantly knew what world he had arrived in.
“The Good Manager”
He loved this drama. He especially loved Jiang Lai in it, with her bright red lips, her sexy figure, and her bold, fearless personality, capable of giving everything for love. No man could resist a woman like that.
While not a classic, the drama was still popular. Its biggest flaw was that it had too many flashbacks—almost every episode included twenty minutes of memories, which had almost caused Yang Yu to abandon the show.
“Ding! Host has identified their world. Abilities restored.”
The system suddenly appeared, uttered those words, and then vanished.
For a moment, Yang Yu thought that Jiang Lai was the perfect girlfriend for him. But he immediately shook his head. It should be easy to pursue Jiang Lai using his knowledge of the plot and his supernatural abilities. But that would go against his original intention, what was the difference between that and pursuing women in a mission world?
So, he quickly dismissed the idea.
“Let her be with Lu Yuan. I shouldn't interfere with the plot. I'll just be a spectator.”
Yang Yu watched Lu Yuan, who had already left his seat and was heading towards the rooftop, and muttered to himself.
He watched Jiang Lai, who had finished singing and was now heading towards the rooftop, swaying slightly as she held her bottle of wine. Yang Yu trailed behind her, eager to see what would unfold.
He replayed the scenes of Jiang Lai and Lu Yuan from the drama in his mind, curious to see how things would play out in real life.
Yang Yu followed Jiang Lai slowly towards the rooftop, watching as she slowly approached the edge.
“I should have bought some peanuts to munch on while I watch. This would be more enjoyable.”
Yang Yu stood a distance away, smoking, and muttered to himself.
Watching Jiang Lai, who had reached the edge of the rooftop, building up her emotions, ready to jump at any moment, Yang Yu suddenly felt a strange sense of confusion.
Where was Lu Yuan? Shouldn't he be sitting not far from Jiang Lai? What the heck, Lu Yuan was now walking back to the bar, passing by Yang Yu!
Yang Yu's mind buzzed.
He had a chilling feeling. He hadn't interfered with the plot, so why had things changed?
Could there be another time traveler? No, if there was another time traveler, they would definitely be ready to rescue the damsel in distress at this moment. But now, Jiang Lai was surrounded by nothing and nobody. The rooftop was empty except for Yang Yu and Jiang Lai.
Why? How could this be? Yang Yu couldn't understand. He didn't have time to think about it anymore because Jiang Lai had already leaped into the air.
Yang Yu couldn't just watch Jiang Lai commit suicide. Luckily, he was fast enough. He rushed over and caught Jiang Lai just as she jumped.
They landed on the ground.
“Let go, you stinking pervert! Why did you get involved? Get away from me!”
Jiang Lai glared at Yang Yu, who was pinning her down.
She had finally summoned the courage to jump from there, even though she didn't appreciate the fact that this man had saved her. She didn't even thank him.
In fact, she blamed him for interfering, because suicide was something you could only do once. The next time, you might not have the courage to do it again.
Yang Yu knew Jiang Lai's personality, so he didn't blame her.
“This is too low. If you land headfirst, it's fine. But if you land on your limbs, you won't die. You'll be paralyzed for life.”
Yang Yu looked at Jiang Lai and said it in a threatening tone.
Jiang Lai stared at Yang Yu fiercely: “Let go. You're hurting me.”
“You have the courage to die, but why don't you have the courage to live?”
“Enough said. I have to go to work.”
Yang Yu looked at Jiang Lai, finished his sentence, and released her. He turned and left Jiang Lai lying there in tears.
Yang Yu knew that Jiang Lai wouldn't try to kill herself again.
