Chapter 96
Responsibility is not fixed.
Yun Yu had just managed to say the words about protecting the world, even though he looked incredibly cool. But only he knew that his body was already completely exhausted.
The intense combat he had just endured, which left him feeling utterly exhausted and unable to shake off the lingering sense of powerlessness he had experienced.
The safest way for him to recover is to rely on sleep to continue healing his injuries.
But compared to exhaustion and pain, after going through a life-or-death battle, Yun Yu was now starving.
Upon hearing that Yun Yu was starving, the office worker Yun didn't hesitate and immediately turned around and rushed into the kitchen, rummaging through drawers and cupboards to find something to eat.
Unfortunately, there weren't many ingredients in the rented room to begin with. After rummaging around, all they found was a bag of ordinary noodles. Although it wasn't a lavish meal, it was enough to fill their stomachs. Without saying a word, the office worker Yun skillfully prepared to cook the noodles.
While the office worker Yun was busy in the kitchen, only Su Mo and Yun Yu, who had just woken up, remained in the living room.
The Su Mo before her was similar to the Su Mo in Yun Yu's world—a bit too familiar with others. Looking at the pale-faced boy leaning against the bed, she couldn't help but speak, voicing the curiosity that had been building up in her heart:
Do you know me from another world?
As Yun Yu was pondering what the suddenly appearing fused beast was, she was taken aback by the question and looked at Su Mo with a puzzled expression:
"I know you, but why are you suddenly asking this?"
"I just want to know what I would be like in a parallel universe?"
Upon hearing the answer, Yun Yu carefully recalled Su Mo, the reporter in her own world, and slowly spoke, giving the most pertinent evaluation.
"In another world, you are also a journalist, but because of your job, you look completely lacking in energy."
After saying that, Yun Yu suddenly remembered something she had put aside.
Before he was swept into this parallel world by the wormhole, he had asked Su Mo in his own world what her responsibilities were, but unfortunately he didn't get a complete answer at the time.
Therefore, when Yun Yu faced Su Mo, who had the same profession, she also took the opportunity to ask:
"So, what do you think your responsibility is?"
The topic jumped abruptly, and Su Mo was momentarily stunned, but she quickly composed herself, lowered her eyes slightly, and entered a state of serious thought.
Her thoughtful expression was exactly the same as Su Mo's in another world.
However, Su Mo in this world is a bit older, more experienced, and has seen more people and things, so she may have already figured out many things.
She pondered for only a moment, then slowly organized her thoughts and softly spoke:
"To put it simply, my responsibility is to work hard, live well, support myself reliably, and not let myself down."
But on a larger scale... I want to give a voice to more people.
"To give a voice to more people?" Yun Yu frowned slightly and repeated the question with some doubt.
"Yes." Su Mo nodded gently, a nameless drive in her eyes, and sighed softly, "There are too many ordinary people in this world who silently endure all kinds of injustices and grievances."
They had no way to appeal, no platform to expose their suffering, and could only swallow their pain silently, unknown to anyone.
My job, my responsibility, is to report all these hidden truths and the injustices suffered by ordinary people, so that more people can see them and justice can reach every corner.
These simple yet sincere words instantly plunged Yun Yu into deep thought.
Only then did he realize that he had fallen into a misconception. He had always thought that a person's responsibility was fixed, but in fact, a person's responsibility is never fixed or unchanging.
Responsibilities change with different identities, positions, and missions.
Aside from her profession, Su Mo only needs to be responsible for herself, but once she takes on the role of a reporter, her responsibilities change.
Yun Yu subconsciously raised her hand and gently grasped the warm Syrus Star Chart on her chest, her thoughts churning. Just then, a noise came from the kitchen.
The office worker, Yun Duan, came out carrying a large bowl of steaming hot noodles, his smile broad and cheerful.
"Haha, the noodles are here!"
Yun Yu snapped out of her thoughts, looked up, and froze instantly.
This bowl of noodles is very generous, enough to feed three people.
He was initially stunned, wondering if he could eat so many noodles, but he quickly realized what was happening.
The version of myself in this world has always secretly loved Su Mo!
Cooking by your own hands is a gentle way to subtly win someone's favor and get closer to them!
Of course, this was definitely because the office worker Yun was considerate, thinking that everyone might not have eaten yet, so he took care of Su Mo's as well. But Yun Yu didn't believe that the office worker Yun didn't have any other intentions.
Having figured this out, Yun Yu's eyes instantly lit up with a playful smile. She looked at the overworked Yun with an understanding gaze, silently picked up her bowl and chopsticks, and lowered her head to eat her noodles.
Feeling uncomfortable under the gaze of his peers, the office worker Yun's cheeks flushed slightly. Embarrassed, he dared not look up at the two of them and could only silently shovel his noodles into his bowl, pretending to be clueless the whole time.
After finishing a bowl of hot noodles, the warmth and fullness instantly dispelled most of the fatigue caused by energy depletion.
Yun Yu put down her chopsticks with satisfaction, sighed sincerely, and deliberately flattered the overworked office worker Yun:
"It tastes so good, I'm serious. Whoever marries you will be truly blessed." After saying that, he kept winking at the office worker Yun.
The office worker Yun immediately realized what was happening and replied, "No...no, I was just doing it casually, just like usual." He explained in a flustered manner while scratching his head in embarrassment.
Su Mo ate her noodles quietly the whole time, a gentle smile always on her lips.
How could she not see through the little schemes of the two people in front of her?
However, she might have had her own ulterior motives, so she deliberately didn't expose their conversation. Instead, she put down her chopsticks, smiled gently, and teased them softly:
"Eh? Who will be the lucky one to marry my junior?"
After she finished speaking, she said no more, but her gaze gently settled on the office worker Yun, quietly looking at him.
Under Su Mo's direct gaze, the office worker Yun lowered his head, not daring to look up and meet her eyes.
Seeing the two people in front of her looking so affectionate, Yun Yu silently pinched the tip of her nose and discovered that, without her noticing, her nose had turned into a clown's nose.
The brief moment of warmth seemed to lighten the weight on Yun Yu's heart. After reminding the two to be careful, Yun Yu decisively covered herself with the blanket and went to sleep, focusing on recovering from her injuries in order to face the next crisis.
You Babar, you clown fusion beast, just you wait!
[I've been stuck on the dialogue for quite a while, so I'm updating so late. I'm really sorry, and thank you all so much for your understanding. Love you all!]
