Mary Sue Reversal System

Fu Yichen left Leng Qianshang, who was inconvenient to move, in the cave. While he went to search for food in the valley. The strange thing was that in this wild mountain valley, he not only found no less than four kinds of fruits but also a few ripened corns. Looking at the few corn cobs that he had obtained, Fu Yichen was stunned for a few seconds before he walked back in disbelief.

Wild… apples, pears, grapefruit and corn. The hungry Fu Yichen didn’t want to complain about the author’s common sense anymore. In any case, it was more practical for him to fill his stomach right now.

Unknowingly it became a bit late when Fu Yichen returned back to the cave. The setting sun happened to pass through the entrance of the cave and its rays landed on Leng Qianshang’s body. His back faced the entrance of the cave and he slept on the pile of leaves that Fu Yichen had simply laid down before he left. His loose silver hair was scattered on the ground, exuding a strange light against the backdrop of the setting sun.

Fu Yichen couldn’t help but lighten his pace when he was near. After putting down the fruits and other foodstuff that he had found, he planned to start a fire. First, it’s for lighting and second, the corn cobs needed to be roasted. Thirdly, if there is no fire at night then it’s impossible for them to not freeze to death, especially with the heavily injured Leng Qianshang.

As long as Fu Yichen thought about this plot, he was a little… speechless. The author probably thought that no matter what kind of injury or illness, it would still eventually only lead to fever, chills and confusion.

Then the classic dog-blooded scene comes naturally. A lone man and woman living together. Facing the Male Lead who is cold, delirious and near-death, the Female Lead, after some hesitation, finally decides to use her body to cover the Male Lead. The kind that requires her to take off her clothes. And then…

So how could they do without any fire? However, Fu Yichen didn’t bring any lighter. At this point, he wasn’t fully prepared. More likely he had overestimated his own calculations. He had thought that the worst situation he could face was that he would be unable to save the Male and Female Leads. But he didn’t expect to fall along with them.

So now Fu Yichen had no idea what to do with the pile of firewood. He had searched for the way ancients made fire. From the most basic way of drilling wood to make fire or making fire by reflecting the sun, to knocking stones together to start a fire.

Considering their current situation, it was definitely impossible for him to start a fire by reflecting the sun. There were neither the tools for it, nor the sun. Relatively speaking, the easiest way to start a fire was by knocking on stones. But there were no tools for it either. Both of their swords were lost when they fell off the cliff. There was no other iron within a mile of them or beyond that. So in the end, Fu Yichen could only drill wood to make fire.

So after finding suitable wood, sticks and hay, Fu Yichen recalled the principle of drilling wood to make fire from his old primary and secondary history textbooks and started to drill hard.

However, half an hour later, Fu Yichen was still drilling and had almost collapsed after several blows to his confidence. He couldn’t get it to work. At this time, the sun had already set and the cave with only one exit and entrance, dimmed.

At this moment, on Fu Yichen’s tough face, apart from a little sweat, it could also be seen that he had obviously lost his patience with the endless repetitive actions that were all in vain and the slowly darkening sky. As time passed by, he seemed to be getting more and more irritable.

It was precisely because of this that Fu Yichen, who was focused on drilling wood, didn’t notice that Su Zhan, who had originally been sleeping not far away, had already woken up at some point. He had turned over calmly, not blinking and was only looking at him.

Su Zhan got woken up by the pain coming from his leg. When he had awoken, his sore shoulders and back showed how hard the ground was. The stone walls around him looked especially blurry when he opened his eyes. When he had finally completely woken up, he turned his head back only to see Xuanyuan Canye who was engrossed in drilling wood.

He could see the latter sitting on the ground casually, but his tall body still looked imposing. He was staring intently at the wooden stick that was being rubbed over and over again in his hands. His golden eyes seemed to hold flames that made them shine in the darkness.

Only at this moment, without him finding out, was Su Zhan able to look at him in an upright manner. Even his repetitive monotonous actions made Su Zhan fascinated. However, he soon discovered that this man’s brows were getting more and more furrowed. His eyes also seemed to be getting more irritable. But he was still persistent in his actions. As if he wanted to pierce the ground.

He was obviously a tall and strong adult man. But Su Zhan strangely felt that the emperor at this moment seemed like a stubborn big baby. The more he was unable to do it, the more he wanted to do it. His face obviously showed impatience and anger, but it seemed like he was unaware of it.

“Your Majesty.” Su Zhan couldn’t stand watching him do these repetitive actions anymore. He sat up straight, his face ruddy, “Making a fire?” There was a bit of ridicule in his tone. Sure enough, no matter how strong a person was, they will still have a cute side.

Fu Yichen, who was still holding onto the stick, suddenly heard Leng Qianshang’s voice. His body froze. When he looked up, he saw Leng Qianshang looking at him leisurely. Immediately, Fu Yichen’s face darkened. Was he… being laughed at by an ancient person?

“Mn.” Fu Yichen hummed indifferently. He threw the wooden stick aside, got up and took two apples. He then handed them to Leng Qianshang, “Temporarily fill yourself up with some… wild fruits.”

Su Zhan felt happy after seeing Fu Yichen’s reaction. Even the pain in his leg couldn’t hide the slightly upturned corner of his mouth.

Fu Yichen glanced at him with suspicion, “Feeling better?” While talking, he stared at the wooden sticks on the ground with a dark face. He wanted to continue to destroy them, but he still had to pick them up and continue his actions.

“It’s all thanks to the emperor’s blessings. It’s much better now.” Su Zhan said happily, looking excited.

At this time, the figures around them began to blur. When the night fell, it not only brought darkness but also the accompanying cold.

Fu Yichen took a deep breath, squatted down again and resigned himself to his fate. He continued to drill the wood to make fire…. However, 10 minutes later, when he was almost successful, it suddenly went out.

Fu Yichen seemed to be deprived of oxygen. With troubled feelings, he stared at the wooden stick in front of him with a black face. If Leng Qianshang wasn’t watching him, he probably would’ve kicked these things into the sky with one kick. There was never a time he missed modern life more than now… It’s not that he had no common sense. Fu Yichen had chosen the area closest to the entrance of the cave to prevent the smoke from filling the cave and also it could provide the fire with the oxygen that it needed. But… it just couldn’t be lit.

Just when Fu Yichen reached the limits of his patience, Leng Qianshang who had been sitting by the side eating apples, suddenly said, “Your Majesty, Chen forgot that Chen had brought a flint.”

Fu Yichen immediately stopped, the corners of his mouth twitched for a long time. With a dark face, he said to Leng Qianshang who was pretending to be innocent, “Is it fun to watch Zhen’s joke?”

“Chen really forgot.” Su Zhan turned his head with a guilty conscience, his tone filled with innocence.

Knowing that he and the Female Lead would fall to the bottom of the cliff for several days, how could Su Zhan not prepare for it in advance? How could he have gone out without a few necessary things like flint? However, considering that something like a dagger would have a high chance of stabbing him when he fell with it, he gave up on bringing it with him.

In the dim light, Leng Qianshang laughed happily. After he finished sulking, Fu Yichen inexplicably raised the corners of his mouth. He was so angered that he wanted to laugh.

With a fire, the whole cave instantly became warm, especially with the light. The whole mood became different. Fu Yichen roasted the corn and shared the fruits he had found. During this period, the two exchanged a few words from time to time and the picture was unexpectedly harmonious.

Until Fu Yichen found out that Leng Qianshang’s face was a little stiff. The current time might be a little after ten o’clock in the evening. Fu Yichen was a little worried at first. After all, there really was such a section in the original plot. Leng Qianshang’s body began to get cold in the middle of the night after a leg injury. Then the Female Lead finally chose to use her body to keep him warm after a difficult mental struggle.

But soon Fu Yichen realised that he was thinking too much and that Leng Qianshang just wanted to go to the toilet.

“Zhen will help carry you.”

“Wait…”

Fu Yichen picked up the other person without saying a word and just walked out. The frightened Su Zhan only had time to say a word and was suddenly picked up by someone. He then froze.

He was so ashamed that his toes curled up. In the dark night, Su Zhan covered his face with his hands. No. He was actually enjoying it while being ashamed. After all, if this kind of thing happened in the real world, he would only secretly dare to think of it. But now he not only can’t show his enjoyment, but also had to look very reluctant.

He didn’t know that Fu Yichen couldn’t help but raise the corners of his lips when he saw his frightened appearance. He felt some inexplicable evil and some little excitement that he couldn’t hide. He seemed to especially like seeing such a Leng Qianshang.

In hindsight, Fu Yichen also found out that there was something wrong with him. But even if he knew that there was something wrong with him, he still couldn’t help but feel happy because of the other person’s little actions. Such as when he hides under a mask every time he panics as Fu Yichen picks him up. It always made Fu Yichen couldn’t help but raise the corners of his lips. Like flickering sparks, he felt bursts of excitement in his mind. His whole body and mind couldn’t help but feel happy.

Probably because he was used to sleeping on the soft and comfortable dragon bed or for some other reason, Fu Yichen couldn’t fall asleep. He laid on the leaves by the fire and remained awake until the middle of the night. Turning his head, he could see Leng Qianshang who was asleep not far away with his back turned towards him. But through the light from the fire, Fu Yichen could see his back curl up slightly, as if he was an insecure person.

In his mind, he thought about the reality and the Mary Sue world for a while. It felt real yet also unreal and sometimes he couldn’t tell whether something was true or false. For example, the Leng Qianshang who was next to him and the Shen Tianyu from the previous world. They all gave Fu Yichen a very real feeling. So real that Fu Yichen even forgot that he was in a Mary Sue world for a while and that they were just characters in a novel.

He thought of his past in the entertainment industry and his failures. Then he thought  about Shen Tianyu and Leng Qianshang who had similar personalities. Finally he thought about his own changes… Fu Yichen thought about the matter a lot, but he never fell asleep.

It was not until the middle of the night when Fu Yichen suddenly heard Leng Qianshang’s painful groan that he looked up in a conditioned reflex and saw Leng Qianshang hugging his arms and curling up into a ball in pain. His body was even slightly trembling.

Fu Yichen was startled and in the next second, he leaned over and gently turned the other person’s body over. He immediately saw Leng Qianshang’s eyes that were closed and face that was pale due to pain.

“Leng Qianshang, what’s wrong with you?” Fu Yichen was startled and he hurriedly reached out to touch the other person’s pale face. The next second, he was shocked by the temperature that was transmitted from his palm and he shrank back. It felt very cold.

Just at this moment, the trembling Leng Qianshang suddenly opened his eyes. Fu Yichen saw his eyes were filled with unspeakable pain, as if to answer his question. Fu Yichen’s heart trembled unexpectedly.

“Cold.” Su Zhan spat out this word with difficulty and immediately felt that his teeth were shaking. It had been a while since he last felt this hot and cold on his body. He had underestimated the power of the plot and thought that he could control it. Su Zhan wanted to grit his teeth and endure it. As the Male Lead, he wouldn’t freeze to death anyways. He didn’t want to wake the emperor even if he had no choice.

However, God knows that when he opened his eyes and saw the other person, Su Zhan was unable to restrain himself and he burst out in an inexplicable grievance. It was as if he saw the most trusted person in his heart at his most difficult time.

“Cold.” Su Zhan only felt as if his nose was sore. He had no idea how distressing his tone sounded to the person beside him.

Fu Yichen was completely stunned by such a Leng Qianshang. He never knew that another man’s eyes could make his heart tremble to such an extent and that the urge to hug the other person into his arms even frightened him.
