The silence in the room was ridiculous, Wen Yu could only stare blankly at the sudden appearance of Chi Zhao, he seemed to have lost the ability to speak.
Chi Zhao straightened his waist, and after a few seconds of silence, he twitched the corners of his mouth, "Who is Ji Zongcheng, your friend?"
When he said this, the expression on Chi Zhao's face was very indifferent, he couldn't tell what he was thinking at all, Wen Yu stared at him, his eyes were full of various emotions, some shocked, some Doubts, puzzled.
Chi Zhao pursed his lips, looking at Wen Yu like this, maybe he didn't even hear what he just said, and he was still waiting eagerly for Wen Yu's answer, it was a bit silly.
Chi Zhao took a deep breath, turned around, and was about to give Wen Yu the water he had asked for a long time ago. Seeing that he was leaving, Wen Yu suddenly reacted. He immediately sat up from the bed, and his left hand was as tight as a pair of pliers. Grab Chi Zhao's wrist.
Wen Yu still had a fever, his body was like a soldering iron, and the abnormal body temperature was transmitted to Chi Zhao's heart through the place where the two people's skins were touching, making his heart tremble.
Wen Yu's hands were very dry, and the disease was not healed. He didn't sweat at all, and Chi Zhao couldn't go any further, so he could only turn around.
First he looked at the hand that was holding him tightly, and then he looked at the owner of the hand, "What's wrong?"
Wen Yu had been watching him all the time, but when he saw his movements, Wen Yu was startled. Wen Xijun didn't like others touching him without authorization.
Wen Yu retracted her hand like an electric shock, the warm feeling suddenly left, and her wrist seemed to be empty.
The sick Wen Yu was not as responsive and meticulous as usual. After two seconds, he sat up slowly, and then asked in a hoarse voice, "Father, why are you here?"
"I'm here to attend Tongying's new product launch."
Chi Zhao answered quickly, but Wen Yu frowned when she heard this.
He thought about it for a while before he remembered which company Tongying was. Now Wen Yu is slow no matter what he does. He turned his eyes and looked at the various medicines on the bedside, whether he had time to throw them away. of medical waste, Wen Yu suddenly asked, "Now... what time is it?"
Chi Zhao looked at Wen Yu, who looked like a child now, confused and distressed.
"At half past one, you lie down first, and I'll pour water for you."
Wen Yu wanted to say something, but knowing that Chi Zhao was going to pour water, not leaving, he was not as urgent as before, sitting on the bed silently, thinking for a while, and then he lay back slowly.
When Chi Zhao came back, Wen Yu was half lying on the bed, with her back against the head of the bed, and looked at the bedroom door without blinking, as if she was waiting for him to come back.
Passing the water over, Wen Yu took it obediently, and after drinking half a cup, he returned the cup to Chi Zhao.
Chi Zhao put the cup aside, he stretched out his hand, and put one on Wen Yu's forehead and the other on his own.
Still hot.
Chi Zhao retracted his hand and saw that the broken hair in front of Wen Yu's forehead was messed up by himself, so he gently helped him sort it out.
People are always vulnerable when they are sick. The gentle and cool touch stayed for less than ten seconds, and then left quickly, Wen Yu suddenly felt a deep sense of loss in his heart. He had been sick and suffered many times, but each time, he didn't feel the same way. Now that he is so eager, I hope this person in front of him can touch him again and care about him again.
As if being heard, the man leaned down again, he gently pushed the hair that was blocking his eyes aside, then straightened his waist, Wen Yu heard him say, "Go to sleep, I'm sick. Before that, you don't have to go to the company."
There are three bedrooms in total. Although the remaining two rooms have not been cleaned up, the cleaning aunt will clean them every day, so it is no problem to make do with one night.
Chi Zhao picked up the ice pack and medicine beside Wen Yu. He turned around and was about to leave. Wen Yu looked at his back and wanted to say something to keep the person he didn't know how to keep.
"… Father."
Chi Zhao's footsteps stopped, he turned his head slightly, and looked at Wen Yu with a sick face with inquiring eyes.
Wen Yu opened his mouth, "Ji Zongcheng is my business partner. This afternoon, I went to his company to discuss the next direction of cooperation. He found out that I was ill, and I couldn't drive by myself at that time, so he took me Sent it back, he was too noisy, so I drove him away quickly."
Wen Yu rarely said so much at one time, Chi Zhao listened for a while, but didn't respond. But the young man in front of him still looked at him without giving up, as if he had to hear a response from his mouth before he would be reconciled.
Chi Zhao was silent for a moment, then asked, "So, what are you trying to tell me?"
Wen Yu is not a person who can talk nonsense, but the few words he just said were all nonsense.
Wen Xijun doesn't like listening to others describe his life in detail. Chi Zhao is Wen Xijun now, and Wen Yu should know this.
Wen Yu was stunned, "I..."
"I want to say..."
I am not friends with him.
So, don't look at me like that anymore.
That look was too unfamiliar, too calm, and the calmness made him panic, as if he was about to be abandoned.
"Let's rest first, what's the matter, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
He waited patiently for a while, but did not wait for a complete sentence. Chi Zhao didn't seem to be able to wait for a second. He pulled the corner of his mouth, showing a reassuring smile, and then left here quickly.
And Wen Yu, who was left behind by him, stared blankly at the direction Chi Zhao left. After a long time, he silently lowered his eyes and looked at his left hand, which was covered with medical tape.
…
After finding a random guest room, Chi Zhao walked in, closed the door, sat on the bed, and began to think silently about the current situation.
Ji Zong Chengdu has appeared.
And it seems that Wen Yu has a good relationship with him, and they should have become friends. Wen Yu explained a lot just now, and the abnormal behavior had to make Chi Zhao think more, and after thinking for a while, Chi Zhao understood.
He definitely didn't want to let himself investigate Ji Zongcheng.
With such protection, it seems that Wen Yu doesn't usually care about this friend.
System: "..." You can have a snack.
Chi Zhao let out a long sigh. Although he was mentally prepared, when he really faced such a result, Chi Zhao still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and his heart twitched.
He was not quite sure what he was doing, because he was sure that the protagonist was that person, so he put all his energy on him as soon as he came, and even directly regarded the other person as his lover in his heart.
However, if it is a lover, he should love each other.
Chi Zhao has made a decision since he hasn't seen Wen Yu yet, and he wants to stay with him for the rest of his life. His actions and plans are so natural, and there is no pressure to implement them. But that's because he thought Wen Yu was that person, and now that he knew he was wrong, Chi Zhao felt at a loss.
He doesn't seem to know how he is feeling right now.
Is he uncomfortable because he admits the wrong person, or is he uncomfortable because Wen Yu is not that person
Having experienced too many things and spent too long, Chi Zhao suddenly found that he had lost the ability to love vigorously, and he hadn't experienced the feeling of heartbeat for a long time. His love and life are always flowing, because he has repeated love too many times before, and now he does not love people based on his feelings, but based on his identity.
If that person can always appear by his side, it is understandable, but what if he does not appear again
So he can't live a good life anymore
The thought appeared in his mind, and Chi Zhao was stunned for a moment, then sneered.
He has always failed in his tasks. Whether he has a chance to continue his life is still a matter of choice. Now he is worried about this kind of problem. He thinks it is too long-term.
With a sigh, Chi Zhao began to call the system: "System, are you there?"
The system answered him almost immediately.
[Um.]
Chi Zhao discussed with him seriously, "I'll just give up this world, let's go directly to the next world, how about it?"
[no.]
Chi Zhao was stunned for a while. This was the first time the system had refused so decisively. He blinked, "Why not?"
[There is no reason, just no, in this world, you must stay until the end, any artificial logout method is not advisable.]
Chi Zhao frowned: "Can you tell me why?"
In the past, he often used suicide to scare the system. Every time the system was frightened, it could be seen from the system's response that suicide was indeed effective, and the host could do it. Why did the system's attitude change this time
[no.]
Chi Zhao: "… "
After being rejected continuously, and without a decent reason, Chi Zhao also became angry, "If I really want to leave, you can't stop me."
[Yes, but I can restart the world and adjust the time back to before you left again and again, you still can't walk, and you will be trapped in the time maze.]
From the tone of the system, Chi Zhao could hear that the system was serious. Chi Zhao's face changed several times. After a long time, he finally said, "Is this world so important?"
The system was silent.
Chi Zhao pursed his lips, "I see."
If you don't go, don't go, anyway, it's the same thing. In the next world, he still can't find the person he's looking for, and he still can't start poisoning the protagonist. At that time, he will still fall into the current dead end.
The system looked at Chi Zhao's brainwave changes, and was silent for a while, but it still explained one sentence.
[When you leave this world, you will know why. Now I can't tell you the reason. Just remember, I will not harm you.]
Chi Zhao agreed with this, he smiled, "It's really hard for you to be bound to my host, am I the most useless host with you? I haven't completed a single mission so far, it's really miserable. Don't talk about those worlds where success is full, I know you're coaxing me to play."
Chi Zhao's remarks were just a joke, but this joke was also in his heart, and the system was stunned for a while.
It took a long time for Chi Zhao to hear the system's response.
[Do you think... we are philanthropists?]
[Chi Zhao, you are a human, I am a system, we are essentially different organisms, although our system will want to integrate into human society, but we know the difference between us and human beings better than anyone, and integrate into human society, Not to become human, but to make better use of human beings, or to add some fun to yourself.]
Chi Zhao's expression became stunned. This was the first time he heard the system say such a direct word.
[Do you think my words are impersonal? That's right, I'm the system, and I have no human touch. You think I'm nice to you, and you think I'm cute, but these are the programs I programmed long before leaving the factory for me to say. Data-type life is different from genetic-type life. Even though we have been studying human emotions all the time, and we have studied them thoroughly, we still can’t really understand what emotions are.]
[So, it's not how good I am to you, nor how kind we are, it's just that you are useful to us that you can get so many exemptions. There are many differences between systems and people, but one thing is very similar. We also focus on interests. Fortunately, you can bring us benefits. Otherwise, when you failed in the first world, the father of the main system would have excluded you from us with privileges. space for operation.]
The more the system said, the colder Chi Zhao's heart became. He knew that what the system said was correct, and it was all true, but suddenly the coat of peace was torn open, revealing those icy bones, and Chi Zhao couldn't accept it for a while.
And he didn't understand, why did the system tell him this
The system is also a little sad. It has been different from other systems since it was born. It is the most difficult system to understand human emotions. No matter how many human emotion analysis data sheets are input to it by engineers, it cannot really digest them. However, it is also one of the easiest systems to integrate with humans.
The relationship between other systems and the host is not like this. In a human idiom, it is like respecting each other.
The system doesn't know what it lacks in comparison with other peers. If the main system is here, he can answer for the system.
Not something missing, but something more.
It can't digest the expansion, because it uses its own database to truly record the emotional changes between human beings, and then slowly learn these changes.
This is why the main system shares the database with a small system. The main system is the most successful data life, but it has only imitated human beings so far, and cannot really understand human beings.
The system said this to Chi Zhao today, one is because everyone is about to separate, and the other is that it doesn't want Chi Zhao to think that he is good anymore. In fact, he is not good at all.
If Chi Zhao hadn't had the ability to make No. 6 recognize him, such a kind Chi Zhao would have been abandoned by the main system long ago, and it's just a system that can't even sing and win the championship. Can't help him.
The system clumps itself into a ball in sadness. A few data lines fell out. It silently picked them up and stuffed them back into its body before it said the last sentence.
[So, there is no need for you to belittle yourself. In the eyes of our system, you are not a waste at all. You are already the most powerful host, really.]
