If ​​something happens, we'll run.

"But replacing the main character in a key storyline will inevitably have some impact, right?"

Yu Fuli's thoughts drifted to that specific case.

In the lower city, he took the bullet for Lin Xun.

According to the established script, this scene of the hero rescuing the damsel in distress should have been performed by Xiao Chi.

In the original storyline, Xiao Chi was injured while protecting Lin Xun and was attacked from behind, causing him to fall into a coma and suffer temporary amnesia. This led to their fates intersecting.

Lin Xun felt guilty about this and, forced by circumstances, went to work at a supermarket. When the unscrupulous boss withheld her wages, it was Xiao Chi, who had lost his memory, who reappeared and rescued her.

This is the original plan, a process of interconnected encounters and the establishment of bonds.

Yu Fuli analyzed the differences: the core event was saving someone; the consequence was injury; the subsequent developments seemed similar, but the executor changed from Xiao Chi to himself, and the manner of injury changed from amnesia caused by a blow to the back of the head to a gunshot wound to the shoulder.

Most importantly, due to his intervention, the fate lines between Xiao Chi and Lin Xun, which should have intersected at this point, remain parallel lines and have not yet intersected as they should.

Is this really okay?

Yu Fuli was not a formal employee of the Quick Transmigration Bureau. He had only undergone one round of emergency training before being hastily put on the field. He lacked sufficient basis and confidence to judge this plot deviation that subverted the core setting.

The host's question has been reported to the Quick Transmigration Bureau, and the reply is as follows:

Regarding the unique nature of this small world, our bureau has conducted internal discussions. It needs to be clarified that this world is the product of a forced rollback and restart after multiple abnormal collapses. Therefore, it can be viewed as a new world rebuilt on the ruins of the original story, possessing a high degree of uncertainty. Its actual operating logic may deviate unpredictably from the original setting.

Our current observation criteria are: as long as the basic framework of the world remains stable and shows no signs of collapse, it is considered to be operating normally. As for the specific direction of the storyline, as long as key nodes are triggered and form a valid causal chain, it is considered reasonable.

Please focus on task execution and do not worry excessively.

The Quick Transmigration Bureau always prioritizes employee safety. Your status is under real-time monitoring. The system has been granted maximum privileges. If any uncontrollable risk that could endanger the host's life is detected, the emergency plan will be activated immediately to safely return you to your original world.

In layman's terms: Because this broken world has collapsed too many times, nobody knows what it will be like after a reboot. In short, as long as the plot is completed roughly and the world doesn't explode on the spot, it's considered a success.

If something really happens, you should run away as fast as you can.

Yu Fuli: "…………"

It sounds incredibly unreliable.

[Urgent update from the Quick Transmigration Bureau: To ensure the smooth progress of the mission, after discussion within the bureau, it has been decided that upon completion of the mission, in addition to the promised civil servant position, the host will receive an extra reward of a property in a prime school district in a first-tier city, as well as a cash bonus of 500,000 yuan.]

Yu Fuli: "!!!"

I retract what I just said!

How can this be called unreliable? This is absolutely reliable!

Look, the backup plan (housing bonus) is so solid, and the escape route (running away if something goes wrong) is also clearly arranged!

"Okay, I got it. I'll complete the mission!"

The thought of the school district property and the substantial bonus instantly filled Yu Fuli with enthusiasm, and she felt a bright future ahead.

In any case, the anomaly that caused the world's collapse has been identified, and the next mission objective is clear and simple—to ensure that the protagonist, Lin Xun, grows up safely, healthily, and happily.

In about twenty years at most, once the mission is complete, he will be able to return to his original world in glory with a generous reward.

"Teacher Yu!"

A clear, cheerful voice interrupted his thoughts.

Yu Fuli looked up and saw a young man with dazzling blond hair and a tall, upright figure walking briskly towards him, with an impeccable, radiant smile on his face. It was Jiang Yu.

"What a coincidence, Professor Yu!" Jiang Yu stopped in front of him, her azure eyes filled with just the right amount of surprise, as if it really was just a pleasant chance encounter. "I never expected to meet you here."

His gaze swept unabashedly over Yu Fuli's entire body.

Yu Fuli keenly caught the fleeting, undisguised amazement in Jiang Yu's eyes.

His eyes narrowed slightly; the good mood he had just felt because of the school district house and the bonus was instantly ruined by the arrival of this uninvited guest.

Coincidence? Nobody would believe that.

This is the only way back to the faculty apartment area. It is located in a remote area, far away from the bustling student dormitory area, and students rarely make a special detour to come here.

Jiang Yu? This flamboyant young master, whose activities are always concentrated in the bustling central area of ​​the campus, doesn't seem like the kind of person who would just happen to wander into such a quiet corner.

This was clearly a carefully calculated coincidence.

Yu Fuli was too lazy to expose this clumsy chance encounter, and even less willing to waste time dealing with him. She pretended not to hear and kept her feet in the same direction, heading straight to walk around Jiang Yu.

"Hey, teacher! Don't walk so fast!"

Seeing this, Jiang Yu was not discouraged at all. She immediately took long strides to catch up with him and walked alongside him with ease. Her pace was so leisurely that it seemed as if she was really just taking a walk, and the bright smile on her face did not diminish at all.

Yu Fuli kept walking, not even sparing him a glance, treating him as if he were just another noisy figure beside her.

Jiang Yu, however, seemed completely oblivious to the awkwardness. With his hands in the pockets of his finely crafted suit trousers, he followed with light steps, turning his head to the side. His azure eyes shone with interest as he stared intently at Yu Fuli's profile.

"Teacher, your outfit today is really special. Are you cosplaying?" He drawled, his tone flippant. "I couldn't see clearly from a distance before, but now that I'm looking closely... that hair, that figure, tsk tsk." He leaned forward slightly, lowering his voice, his breath almost brushing against Yu Fuli's ear: "I saw it too..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the unspoken meaning was clearly revealed in the ambiguous pause and the increasingly blatant scrutinizing gaze.

Yu Fuli suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Jiang Yu also stopped, her smile unchanged, even showing a hint of pleasure at finally getting a response.

"Jiang Yu." Yu Fuli turned around to face him directly, her face expressionless, her voice calm but carrying a heavy chill, "If you don't have anything important to say and just want to make some meaningless comments, then I'm sorry, I don't have time for you."

He deliberately emphasized the word "classmate" to draw a clear line.

"How could it be completely devoid of substance?" Jiang Yu tilted her head, her smile both innocent and mischievous. "I was genuinely praising the teacher. Besides..."

He took a half-step closer, shortening the already dangerous distance, his gaze lingering even more brazenly on Yu Fuli's slightly disheveled collar and her still swollen lips, implying, "Teacher's lips look like they've been through a lot, I'm just concerned about you."

He clearly figured something out.
