What's the crash? I'm playing the game normally.

Chapter 821 Life is Full of Regrets
Although it was nighttime and Bai Wan couldn't see clearly, even with the faint night light, he could feel the burning intensity in the girl's eyes, a gaze that Bai Wan found almost unbearable.

"I'm sorry, Captain. I know that my sudden statement has put you in a difficult position, but please let me be willful this once."

"After all, I've always lived according to other people's opinions, and I've learned a lot from the captain. The most important thing is to express myself freely and not care about what other people think."

"So... let me be a little willful this once."

Zhang Xuerou looked at Bai Wan and smiled, then slowly said.

“I grew up in a family where I had no worries about food and clothing. I didn’t know what I should do. In this boredom, I joined the headquarters, thinking that maybe I could protect the world like Sister Ningning.”

"But... it was when I was on the verge of death in Fengshen Village that I realized this wasn't what I wanted after all. It was then that I realized how wonderful this world truly is..."

"Ningning is amazing. She wants to protect everyone and this beautiful world. I'm just an ordinary person. It was then that I realized I just wanted to live in this beautiful world..."

"Faced with death, I was filled with deep regret, regretting why I couldn't have lived a happier life. And it was in this despair that, Captain, you saved me..."

"That day, in my eyes, you were as dazzling as a god." Zhang Xuerou closed her eyes and began to recall that day, when Bai Wan's hand emitted a bright white light, forcibly stopping the evil Buddha from killing people.

It wasn't just that one day... Every time Bai Wan repeatedly shocked the inexplicable ghosts and gods, revealing a bizarre and wonderful world full of bugs, Zhang Xuerou longed for it.

In this ordinary world, the first time Zhang Xuerou saw Bai Wan's error code, her eyes widened with curiosity and longing.

Zhang Xuerou had also wondered when exactly she had fallen for him.

Was it Captain Bai Wan who saved her that time? No, maybe not, that was just the last straw.

Perhaps, a girl who has no goals and has lived a conventional life since childhood will be filled with admiration and affection the moment she looks up at the error code in the sky.

For Xue Rou, who has always lived in the eyes of others and has always been a well-behaved little princess, Bai Wan's mistake is simply an irresistible poison.

"Captain, I like you. I like your bugs, I like your uniqueness. Being with you every day brings unprecedented surprises. They make me realize that this world is beautiful, very beautiful."

Zhang Xuerou opened her eyes and expressed her affection for Bai Wan without reservation.

Even at this moment, Bai Wan was moved by these words.

Not for any other reason, but because for the first time in the world, someone liked their own bug...

What everyone else disliked as a bug didn't seem scary in the eyes of the girl in front of him. Instead, he could see the undisguised affection in Zhang Xuerou's eyes.

Bai Wan had longed to meet someone like this since she was a child, someone who wasn't afraid of her bugs, but she never expected to meet him here today.

However... before that, he had already met someone who was not afraid of him and was also his favorite friend.

and so……

Bai Wan sighed inwardly, feeling a slight pang of guilt in the face of Zhang Xuerou's unreserved affection.

He couldn't respond, not even a little bit.

"Sorry, I……"

Before Bai Wan could finish speaking, Zhang Xuerou interrupted him again.

"Captain, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Bai Wan shut his mouth again and continued to listen to Xue Rou.

"I know this will make you feel awkward, but I really can't help but tell you... It's a little painful to keep this feeling inside."

"I was thinking about whether to pretend nothing was wrong, but... what I learned most from you is courage, the courage to break all conventions, so I decided to reveal all my thoughts."

"I know you only have Ningning in your heart, so I never wanted anything from my confession. I just wanted to tell you how I feel, so I would have no regrets."

"Huh?" Bai Wan was a little surprised. Did Xue Rou only want to tell him?

Zhang Xuerou walked towards Bai Wan, revealing a gentle smile, and then said:
"Captain, I'm leaving soon. I booked my flight for tonight. I've always wanted to travel to Haili, but I've always lacked the courage. Thank you for giving me that courage, so I've decided to stop hesitating."

"I'm leaving today and I don't know when I'll be back. I'm sorry, I have to leave your team for now."

"Are you leaving?" Bai Wan was suddenly struck by this news and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I'm sorry, I have to leave. I don't want to ruin your relationship with Ningning, but it's just too painful to be by your side every day, watching you from afar." "Rather than suffer, it's better to stay away from you. I wish you happiness in the end." Zhang Xuerou smiled at Bai Wan again, and then slowly walked towards Bai Wan.

While Bai Wan was somewhat dazed, he kissed Bai Wan's left cheek.

The touch was fleeting, just as soft as Su Yuening's lips.

"Remember to keep this a secret from Ningning, okay? Just let me be willful this once. Bye-bye, Captain."

After the kiss, Zhang Xuerou walked straight into the distance.

Bai Wan just stood there, stunned.

His team's only support demon hunter was leaving, and he couldn't say a word to stop him, nor could he stop him.

Bai Wan could only watch as Xue Rou's figure gradually disappeared on the distant beach.

He was feeling conflicted at that moment, and took a taxi back to Fang Hanxin's home alone.

At the same time, Xue Rou also left the WeChat group that their team had created.

Su Yuening immediately contacted them and sent a WeChat message.

[What happened? Why did Xue Rou leave the group? Did you bully Xue Rou?]

Bai Wan thought for a moment, but didn't know how to reply.

Should I send this message? She kissed me and then ran away?

No, no, he doesn't want to be killed by the monster either.

In the end, Bai Wan simply replied:

Xue Rou has her own ideas; she wants to live abroad for a while.

"Okay, then."

That night, Bai Wan lay on the bed in Fang Hanxin's house. After thinking for a long time, she sent a message to Xue Rou.

【Bon Voyage.】

After a long time, Bai Wan finally received Xue Rou's message.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. See you again, Captain."

Bai Wan looked at Xue Rou's reply and felt for some reason that it sounded like she didn't know when she would come back, or that she might never come back at all.

However, it is not appropriate for him to meet with Xue Rou now.

Xue Rou, who was incredibly well-behaved and considerate, and who didn't want to trouble anyone even at the very last moment, was likely seeing him for the last time on that beach.

Bai Wan finally replied:

Thank you for not disliking me.

He was disliked from birth.

So thank you, thank you for being different from others.

……

Before going to bed, Bai Wan was filled with complicated emotions and couldn't fall asleep, so she got up and watched a DVD for a while, trying to figure out who the dark figure was.

However, because the shadow was so small, occupying only a tiny part of the mirror, Bai Wan only had a vague sense that he might have seen this person before.

Therefore, it will take some time to find out who this figure is, but he has a feeling it will be soon.

In less than two days, he will be able to identify the shadowy figure.
