Chapter 306 The System Reappears!

(Chapters 306 and 307 are in reverse order. Please read the next chapter first before reading this one.)
Someone brought chairs for the two of them. Jiang Lanye didn't sit down, but let Song Yi sit down first. Then he stood next to her, looking down at her excited eyes: "You're so happy about the rain?"

“It will be much cooler after the rain.” She paused, then quickly added, “You should let them go back quickly. It’s raining today, so they can rest for a day.”

"Ah."

Just as he was about to speak, Song Yi suddenly stood up.

"what happened?"

Song Yi frowned and listened intently for a while: "Did you hear anything strange just now?"

Jiang Lanye was taken aback: "No."

Song Yi looked puzzled and listened carefully for a while, but all she heard was the sound of heavy rain falling. "It seems like I misheard."

Then, she walked around the wall and suddenly reached out and touched the bricks.

"Jiang Lanye, come here quickly."

"Ok?"

He strode over and, imitating Song Yi, placed his hand on the bricks of the wall.

"Can you feel how hot these rocks are?"

"Yes."

He reached out and felt around the wall, finding it radiating heat. A sense of unease crept over him, and he quickly picked up the umbrella from the ground: "Yiyi, shall we go back today?"

Song Yi had the same thought as Jiang Lanye. She nodded quickly, took Jiang Lanye's arm, and was about to walk out when...

"Boom——"

A rumble of thunder sounded from the horizon, and a blinding white light dazzled the two of them. Immediately afterward, Song Yi staggered for a moment, then grabbed Jiang Lanye in alarm: "Jiang Lanye, this pavilion seems to be shaking!"

Jiang Lanye didn't say a word, but held her hand tightly and was about to leave when two figures flashed past the doorway and the door was quickly closed.

Jiang Lanye rushed over and pushed hard, but the two doors didn't budge. Instantly, his face turned cold, and he shouted, "Someone, open the door!"

Unfortunately, the palace servants outside were busy moving things in the heavy rain, and no one noticed the commotion coming from the pavilion.

Song Yi's face turned deathly pale: "What are we going to do? Ah!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a stone came crashing down, and the surrounding foundations suddenly emitted a muffled thud.

"Oh!"

Instantly, a chain reaction ensued. A series of muffled thuds reached their ears, and the entire building swayed precariously as bricks and stones fell mercilessly from above, landing all around them.

Looking at the hard bricks and stones, Song Yi subconsciously raised her arms to protect her head. Just as she was about to bend over, Jiang Lanye forcefully pulled her into his arms.

The moment her cheek touched Jiang Lanye's chest, she tried to struggle, but Jiang Lanye reached out and protected her head, forcibly pulling her into his arms: "Don't move, I'll think of something."

Unfortunately, the situation was far too critical, and the shaking walls gave people no time to think.

The two hurriedly climbed the stairs, and then there was another violent shaking. Song Yi lost control and fell to the ground on the stairs. Jiang Lanye immediately bent down and picked her up. The two staggered up two more steps, barely avoiding the falling bricks.

"Help! Open the door quickly! Help!"

Song Yi started shouting at the top of her lungs, but all she got in response was the cacophony of rain.

"What should we do?"

She hid in Jiang Lanye's arms in fear, her voice trembling with sobs.

The coronation ceremony is coming soon, and she is pregnant with their child, Jiang Lanye's only heir. They have come this far with great difficulty, and they absolutely cannot let anything happen on such an ordinary day!
"Kaka——"

Without warning, one side of the wall collapsed. Jiang Lanye held her tightly the whole time, her chin resting on his shoulder. As they watched the wall create a huge gap in the middle, she suddenly found a burst of strength and pushed Jiang Lanye away, instantly switching places with him.

In that instant, she made a decision that transcended life and death; she had only one thought in her mind: to shield Jiang Lanye from the collapsing wall.

Jiang Lanye reacted instantly, and his usually calm and indifferent face changed instantly.

Song Yi watched helplessly as Jiang Lanye shoved her aside, his tall figure blocking her path. The wall crashed down, and she froze for a moment, then screamed in anguish, "Jiang Lanye—!"

Do not!
Jiang Lanye cannot die!

Tears welled up in Song Yi's eyes instantly.

Please. If this is how it ends, I would rather have never met you or loved you in this life.
Song Yi was on the verge of collapse. She was utterly desperate, and her heart stopped beating for a moment.

Who can save them? Who can save Jiang Lanye?

Jiang Lanye cannot die, Jiang Lanye absolutely cannot die—

[Ding—Host's life has been threatened; emergency protection mechanism activated!]

In an instant, the flying pebbles froze in mid-air, and the dust that rose up remained still as a painting.

Song Yi was completely stunned.

system?

Is this a system that disappeared years ago?!

While she was still in a daze, a semi-transparent screen suddenly appeared in front of her, and the mechanical voice was particularly clear in the deathly silence:
[The mission is 98% complete. Do you wish to use the "Time Stop" skill?]

task?

Yes. When she was first sent to this world by the system, her goal was to win over Jiang Lanye.

This time, she and Jiang Lanye were in love and had successfully conceived his imperial heir. Now, with only the coronation ceremony in two days to go, their mission would be perfectly accomplished.

She reached out her hand, trembling, only to see a red warning suddenly pop up on the screen:
[WARNING! Using this skill will reset the target's memories to three years prior for a period of three days. The host must ensure the target's memories return and maintain their own safety within these three days; otherwise, the mission will fail, and both the host and the target will completely disappear!]

When Song Yi saw the first half of the sentence, all color drained from her face, but when she saw the system say that it would last for three days, she calmed down again.

Jiang Lanye will only lose his memory for three days. As long as she can find a way to make Jiang Lanye remember everything they have experienced during these three days, she can change the outcome of their mutual death.

Even if the consequence of mission failure is the death of both.

She took a deep breath, her eyes bloodshot.

In the frozen space and time, only the hem of Jiang Lanye's clothes, torn by the pebbles, fluttered slowly.

"Use it!" Song Yi cried out, her voice trembling with tears. "Use it immediately!"

[Command confirmed. Time flow will resume in five minutes.]

Song Yi wiped away her tears and stood up quickly. With all her might, she helped Jiang Lanye up, letting him hang on her body as they staggered down the steps.

He was too heavy for Song Yi to carry. After struggling to the door, her hand slipped, and Jiang Lanye leaned weakly against the door.

Song Yi turned around, picked up a sharp stone from the ground, and frantically began to hammer at the crack in the door, continuing until her fingers were cut by the edge of the stone and bleeding.

finally--

"Oh!"

The door was forcibly smashed open, and Song Yi saw the dense raindrops floating still in the sky. A smile finally appeared on her face. She quickly bent down to help Jiang Lanye up and staggered away from the attic with him.

Almost the instant Song Yi collapsed, the two of them fell to the ground.

"Boom——"

Time resumed, and dense raindrops instantly fell on the two of them. The pavilion not far away collapsed with a crash, kicking up a cloud of dust.

A gust of wind, carrying sand and dust, swept past. The last thing Song Yi saw as she looked down was the sentence that had been erased from Jiang Lanye's lips by the system—

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

　Pay attention, this is only for three days, there won't be any angst or melodrama~~ Also, chapters 307 and 306 are out of order, so please read the second chapter that was updated today first!
