Loving someone to the extreme also means death.
Just like the yin and yang fish in Tai Chi, extreme prosperity leads to decline, and extreme decline leads to prosperity.
However, what Ren Yuanhao did not expect was that her death would come so quickly.
...
The brief order task was over. As geese flew across the sky and clouds drifted by, Ren Yuanhao sat outside the maple forest of the residential area, looking towards the southwest where the forbidden zone, one of the three great taboos, was hidden by clouds and mist. His heart stirred slightly.
His mind was still replaying Ouyang Rui, recalling the question she had asked him before, a question he himself dared not face.
"Uncle, what are you looking at?"
Just as he was lost in his turbulent, swirling thoughts, a little loli, about 10 years old, sat on the bench beside him, looking at him with bright and curious eyes.
"Looking at the clouds."
"Are they pretty?"
"Of course they are. Do you know that the clouds in every place are different? Some look fierce and desolate, some are gentle and flowing like water, endlessly, and some are hazy and dreamlike, as if in the realm of immortals. The higher the altitude, the purer the clouds you see, so I quite like the clouds here."
The girl's face showed no expression, and she said, "I wish I could see them clearly."
Ren Yuanhao was suddenly stunned and began to look at the little loli carefully.
Her pupils seemed to have no focus. Although it felt like she was seriously looking at something, the calmness and indifference on her face indicated one thing—she couldn't see anything clearly at all.
"Xiaoli, let's go."
About ten steps away, a woman in her 30s, carrying freshly bought vegetables and fruits, walked towards Ren Yuanhao with great competence, striding with energy. She seemed like a very capable blue-collar worker.
"Uncle, I have to go. Can you tell me, which of the types of clouds you just mentioned are today's clouds?"
"Clear and pure, like a dream."
"Really?"
The little girl suddenly looked at Ren Yuanhao. For some reason, he instantly felt as if he had been seen through by this little girl who might have a severe eye condition. The frequency unique to ability users involuntarily increased!
—Holy crap? Could this little loli also be an ability user?
Ren Yuanhao collected himself, his brows furrowed. He then heard the little girl speak in a tone completely inconsistent with her age, "Uncle, you seem very confused right now, is it because of a woman? Cherish the time you spend with her, because~"
Before the little girl could finish speaking, she was taken away by the capable woman.
"Didi, order task completed. Intimacy level met, gained 500 points, total points 600."
"Hey, System Sister, what was that about the little girl just now?"
"Pupil technique ability. And it seems to be seriously affecting her normal vision. Her grade is not low."
"Speak human language."
"Pupil technique ability, generally it's an innate ability, meaning it's obtained directly from the mother's womb. The higher the grade of the pupil technique, the greater the impact on vision. At the age of around 10, someone with such a significant impact is likely much stronger than Zhu Qingfeng you met before. Moreover, when she made eye contact with you earlier, the system's defense mechanism was directly activated, meaning her pupil technique can see directly into people's hearts!"
Ren Yuanhao felt a chill run down his spine. He thought, if that little loli had any killing intent just now, would that mean he had fallen into her trap?
"Don't overthink it. I didn't sense any malice in her pupil technique. If I'm not mistaken, her pupil technique should be similar to 'Heavenly Eye'."
"Heavenly Eye? What the hell is that?"
"Well, that's a bit mystical. Have you ever learned about the Book of Changes?"
Ren Yuanhao thought, isn't that thing used by those charlatans to deceive people, calling themselves divine predictors!
"The Book of Changes doesn't entirely talk about mysterious fate and luck, but also some principles that are very close to the essence. After all, the Great God Fuxi sat under the twilight sky and drew a 'one', thus opening the Eight Trigrams, which contain various hexagrams and their judgments. From our intelligent AI's perspective, it's a system that can calculate the fate and luck of a person or a period of time. Heavenly Eye is a system similar to the Book of Changes."
"So, what the little loli just told me is equivalent to a short-term prophecy? This pupil technique is a bit heaven-defying!"
Speaking of this, Ren Yuanhao seemed to realize something was wrong and murmured to himself, "She told me to cherish the time with the woman I'm thinking of right now. Does that mean Ouyang Rui is going to have an accident?"
The system did not respond. Just then, Ren Yuanhao's phone rang.
"Hello, Yuanhao, can we meet again? I~"
Undoubtedly, the call was from Ouyang Rui. This woman, who was like a little fangirl, gave Ren Yuanhao a sticky feeling. If it were in the past, he might have happily gone to meet her, but now he couldn't. Ambiguity hurts, and entanglement is even more harmful. He couldn't repeat the same mistakes.
Ren Yuanhao hesitated for a long time. He could faintly hear the sound of sobbing from the other end. As soon as he heard a woman cry, his heart softened. He had a refusal prepared in his mouth, but his heart softened, and his mouth followed suit.
"Okay, where should we meet?"
"That's great! At this hour, we should find a quiet place. Let's go to Yunshui Ju."
After they agreed, Ren Yuanhao immediately summoned the system and asked, "System Sister, I think the DiDi dating service still needs improvement. For example, shouldn't it provide a potion to help employers forget me after they've experienced a relationship, so they can re-enter a new romance?"
"Yes, it can. Wangchuan Water is available in the store and isn't expensive, only 200 points."
"200 is 200. This way, Ouyang Rui can also feel a bit better."
"That's not necessarily true. After all, forcefully removing a very important person from one's heart might cause some adverse reactions in the employer, such as mental confusion, and in severe cases, paranoia. Of course, this is an isolated case. Do you dare to gamble?"
"Of course I have to gamble."
...
After getting the Wangchuan Water, Ren Yuanhao drove towards Yunshui Ju.
Meanwhile, Ouyang Rui was leaning on the stone railing outside Yunshui Ju, waiting for Ren Yuanhao. The doorman, about 20 years old, recognized Ouyang Rui, but he had never seen Ouyang Rui waiting so anxiously for someone.
"Miss Ouyang, who is so insensible that they make a beauty like you wait so long?"
"Waiting for him, any amount of time is worth it. I used to hear people say that a day without seeing someone feels like three autumns. Now, for me, it's an instant not seeing him that feels like three autumns."
The doorman's expression changed slightly, then he smiled slightly, "It seems our very discerning Miss Ouyang has indeed fallen in love. I wonder who is lucky enough to gain your favor?"
"Look, here he comes."
