Chapter 291 There was no other way but to adopt a two-pronged approach.
The system's voice continued:
The target "Tang Xiaorui" and "Tang Xiaofu" have an innate and close destiny connection (which can be simply understood as a "special bond between twins" or "complementary life fields from the same origin")
[Based on a scan of the underlying rules, this connection is confirmed to be exclusive and mandatory.]
To ensure the stability of an individual's mental field and the long-term maintenance of their vitality, Geminis, whose destinies are intertwined, need to maintain a high-frequency, close-range "synchronous resonance of their life fields."
The most effective approach is to live together under the same roof long-term and share a stable, high-level emotional energy anchor (i.e., a shared focus within a deep and intimate relationship).
[Warning: Prolonged separation or a lack of emotional anchors will lead to a gradual weakening and disruption of the mental energy fields of both parties, manifesting as severe depression, loss of vitality, and impaired perception of reality.]
This is not a disease, but rather a deficiency in the underlying rules, which cannot be cured by current technology or conventional supernatural methods.
[Based on the fact that the host has established a deep connection with "Tang Xiaorui" and is currently in this situation, the system provides the following core advice:]
To ensure the long-term survival and health of "Tang Xiaorui," and out of humanitarian considerations to prevent another innocent individual (Tang Xiaofu) from perishing due to this rule deficiency, it is strongly recommended that the host include "Tang Xiaofu" in the strategy and life-linking scope simultaneously.
[Note: This is not a mandatory task, but it is related to Tang Xiaorui's survival bottom line.]
Please evaluate this carefully, host.
[Additionally, based on past data analysis, the host does not have a fundamental moral obstacle to "conquering multiple related targets," so please do not suddenly load the invalid moral pressure module this time.]
Upon hearing this series of system prompts, Lin Feng's expression froze instantly, and he subconsciously stopped in his tracks.
Tang Xiaorui, who was walking beside him, immediately noticed and tugged at his sleeve with concern:
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Tang Xiaofu stopped in her tracks upon hearing the sound and turned to look at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng forced a smile and scratched his head:
"It's nothing, it's just... I thought the moonlight was really nice tonight, and I got a little distracted."
He looked up at the bright moon in the night sky.
"This tranquility is wonderful. I wish time could slow down."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaorui was slightly taken aback, and then lowered her head.
A strand of hair slipped down, obscuring the smile that was quietly spreading across her face.
She understood—Lin Feng wished time would slow down because he couldn't bear to leave this moment, couldn't bear to leave...her.
When she spoke again, Tang Xiaorui's voice was light and sweet, like a breeze soaked in honey:
"Yeah... I think so too. The moon tonight is especially, especially beautiful."
She even quietly slowed her pace, hoping that this time spent side by side could be extended a little longer, just as he wished.
Lin Feng turned his head to look at the light pink blush spreading on the tips of her ears, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared on his lips, but his heart was in turmoil because of what the system had said.
The intense sense of disconnect made it impossible for him to maintain his composure. He immediately questioned the system in his mind, almost like a low growl:
"System! What you just said... is all true? This sounds like something out of a melodramatic soap opera!"
The system's voice rang out, calm and undisturbed:
[Host, while this system possesses certain entertainment and auxiliary functions, its seriousness regarding the reporting of core information such as underlying rules and the survival of life is beyond question.]
[The data is sourced from a global underlying information flow scanning and fate line projection model, with an error rate of less than 0.001%.]
[You've previously encountered situations where you simultaneously maintained relationships between key figures across multiple dimensions to stabilize the timeline; this isn't the first time you've faced a scenario involving multiple objectives.]
[Please face the core of the issue: This is an objective reality concerning the life and death of Tang Xiaorui and Tang Xiaofu, not an emotional choice.]
Lin Feng took a deep breath of the cool night breeze:
"The key is... the situation is different now; there's a father-in-law in this instance!"
"How am I supposed to tell Old Tang, 'Director, please entrust your two daughters to me so they can both survive?' I'm afraid he'll just throw me into Tiger Roar Valley on the spot!"
system:
The host's concerns are understandable.
However, please note that this system reveals "objectively existing rule deficiencies and survival needs."
When Director Tang confirms this fact through reliable channels, his primary concern will be the survival of his daughters.
When faced with the challenge of survival, many conventional rules can be re-evaluated.
What the host needs to do now is not to immediately confront the situation, but to solidify the relationship with Tang Xiaorui and try to establish a deeper connection and trust with Tang Xiaofu, laying the foundation for the inevitable "revelation of the truth" and "proposal of a solution" in the future.
[Tang Xiaofu's favorability towards the host has reached 75, which is an excellent starting point.]
"Laying the foundation...establishing deeper connections..." Lin Feng pondered these words, his gaze involuntarily drifting once again to Tang Xiaofu beside him.
The moonlight bathed her, adding a soft silver rim to her cool and aloof demeanor.
She stood straight, looking at him calmly, her eyes revealing not only inquiry but also a hint of barely perceptible concern.
"Alright..." Lin Feng sighed inwardly, his fist clenching and unclenching slightly. "Since it's for saving people, and... System, you also said it's an objective fact."
"It seems we have no choice but to take this path!"
"Good things come in pairs... but hopefully they won't turn into double the trouble!"
He steadied himself and, taking advantage of the moment Tang Xiaofu looked away, quietly activated [Desire Insight].
With a slightly distorted and focused view, Tang Xiaofu's image seemed to be stripped of its outer uniform and composure, revealing a deeper layer of color.
What comes into view is a vivid yet slightly faded scene—
Under the bright moonlight, a girl who looked even younger, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, was riding on the back of a magnificent chestnut horse.
She wasn't wearing a helmet; her hair flew wildly in the wind whipped up by the speeding car, and her mouth was open, letting out a hearty, silvery laugh.
Her arms were outstretched to the sides, as if she wanted to embrace the entire night sky and freedom rather than control the reins.
The next second, the scene shattered and reassembled like a broken mirror, revealing Tang Xiaofu, dressed in a crisp deputy director's uniform, with her hair neatly combed, her eyes calm, and bearing part of the management responsibility for the entire zoo.
The two images overlap and then separate, creating a strong contrast.
Tang Xiaofu's strongest desire at the moment: "I wish to escape all responsibilities and expectations for a short time, and be completely and unrestrainedly free, just like when I was a child."
The results of his observation shocked Lin Feng, and a mix of surprise and heartache welled up within him.
It turns out that this seemingly impeccable and calm woman harbors deep within her a wild horse yearning to break free of its reins and relive the feeling of running freely.
Her desire was not to conquer, but to release; not to acquire, but to reclaim.
This discovery gave Lin Feng a vague idea of how to get closer to Tang Xiaofu.
Perhaps the breakthrough lies not in proving how reliable or powerful you are, but in whether you can provide her with an opportunity or reason to temporarily unload her burdens and safely "indulge".
"Lin Feng?" Tang Xiaorui couldn't help but call out when she saw that he was still "looking" at his sister and his eyes were a little unfocused.
Her tone carried a hint of doubt and a subtle jealousy that she herself was unaware of...
