Pei Mo left the ceremony and came back to find me.

He dialed the phone over and over again.

I answered the phone but remained silent, listening to him calling my name:

"Chen Chaomu, Chen Chaomu...

"Chaomu, where are you? Didn't we agree to tell me something the next time we meet?"

Pei Mo searched many places but couldn't find any trace of me.

Perhaps he already knew the answer, but he refused to admit it.

Zhao Ruo, in an effort to salvage the situation, was still trying hard to win over Pei Mo. She tried to get closer to him.

"Pei Mo... Chaomu might have gone somewhere else. Let's go home first and look for her next time."

Pei Mo forcefully pushed Zhao Ruo away, glaring at her with red eyes.

"Shut up! Chen Chaomu said there won't be a next time. I can't let her wait until next time anymore."

Pei Mo muttered to himself, "I must find her now and apologize... Yes, I have to find her now."

I was just quietly listening to Pei Mo's breakdown over the phone, finding it amusing.

In order to find me, Pei Mo even grabbed Zhao Ruo's neck and angrily demanded, "Don't you have a system? Make the system forcibly initiate another loop and let me see Chaomu!"

Zhao Ruo struggled to breathe under Pei Mo's grip, pleading for him to let go, but Pei Mo didn't release his hold.

I don't know if it was because he was worried that Zhao Ruo would really be choked to death or if it was to maintain Pei Mo's emotions.

The system truly announced the real final loop.

[The plot has severely collapsed, a major bug has occurred, and the system will force everyone to initiate the final loop.]
