The night wind is a little chilly. People returning home ride their electric bikes on the roads in the community, waiting for the light that is on for them.
The street lamp covered by branches and leaves made a crackling sound of electricity running through it, and suddenly it lit up, and the leaves that were shining through were stacked with lush green.
The shadows projected on the ground stood facing each other, and Xu Shiyue's hand fell on Lu Shizhen's head.
Lu Shizhen could clearly feel the warmth of Xu Shiyue's fingertips pressing lightly against her hair. They passed gently through the girl's soft long hair, as if soothing her.
The palm with several scratches on it was still slightly cold, but it was slowly gathering some warmth.
It's like a cup of hot drink in the cool autumn breeze, flowing along the surging blood and straight to the heart.
Plop, plop.
The sound of his unbalanced and rapid heartbeat almost drowned out all the sounds around him, and Lu Shizhen felt like his breathing was about to stop.
She was like an uncivilized stone, she had never interacted with anyone like this before, and being at a loss was not enough to describe how she felt at the moment.
Amidst the unbalanced heartbeats, Qiuqiu slowly floated over.
The body that was slightly glowing was like a light bulb, with an attitude of watching the fun, reminding: "Host, Xu Shiyue seems to think of you as a dog too."
Not sure if it was because he had exposed Xu Shiyue's action of treating him like a dog, or because the beautiful scene at the moment was ruined, Lu Shizhen became angry and glared at Qiuqiu fiercely.
But before the two of them could start talking to each other in their psychological world, Xu Shiyue's voice came to Lu Shizhen's ears.
Her voice was still cold and indifferent, but there was an indescribable difference from the tone she used when she spoke to him in the past: "Sorry, Lu Shizhen."
Having said this, Xu Shiyue withdrew his hand from Lu Shizhen's head.
A cool breeze blew past, making Lu Shizhen's hair, which had been slightly flattened, float again, and the remaining warmth disappeared along with it.
Lu Shizhen felt a little lost for some reason, but she immediately replied, "Since you're sorry, don't run around."
The surroundings were not particularly bright, and Xu Shiyue pursed her lips lightly in the dim night.
Those slightly pale lips seemed to smile back at Lu Shizhen.
Then Lu Shizhen felt his shoulders sink.
The huge shadow leaned straight against the slender shadow opposite.
Perhaps it was because the life-and-death crisis was finally over, the string that had been keeping the body tense suddenly broke.
As soon as Xu Shiyue withdrew her hand, her feet suddenly went weak, and endless fatigue and discomfort collided in her body in an instant.
[It is detected that Xu Shiyue's body index is decreasing and he is about to fall into a coma due to high fever. ]
The overly hot breath hit Lu Shizhen's neck, and the reminder of the detection system rang in her ears.
The reminder sound came late, and even without it, Lu Shizhen could feel Xu Shiyue's physical weakness at the moment.
"Xu Shiyue, hold on for a while, we'll be back soon."
Lu Shizhen said it straightforwardly, and without waiting for Xu Shiyue to answer, he picked her up and carried her sideways.
She was wrapped in a thick military coat, and her pale face made her look as light as paper. Even though Lu Shizhen had been dragged by Yuanzi to run a long distance just now, she still held Xu Shiyue effortlessly.
As if racing against time, Lu Shizhen walked very fast, and Yuanzi followed closely behind with his rope in his mouth.
The night wind was picked up by the footsteps, and the sound of the wind was intertwined with the voices and horns around her. Amid the noise, the slow voice of a young girl rang in her ears.
It was gentle and subtle, as if she was struggling with her weak body with great strength: "Thank you... for finding me."
Plop, plop.
The suddenly accelerated heartbeat mixed with the rapid and bumpy footsteps, blowing a gust of wind in Lu Shizhen's heart.
.
The dark night slowly enveloped the earth. The osmanthus tree stood silently in the wind, its densely packed leaves swaying slightly.
The warm yellow light intertwined with the moonlight outside the window, and the villa, which had been busy for an entire afternoon, finally returned to its former tranquility.
The medicines and tweezers made slight sounds when they touched each other, and the servants who kept coming in and out of the room were busy in an orderly manner.
Qin Wen rushed over from home after receiving a phone call. He just looked at the girl lying on the bed. Even though her clothes had been changed, her little face with bloodstains could not hide her dishevelment.
Qin Wen frowned. He had reminded Lu Shizhen before to treat Xu Shiyue well.
She had clearly promised him, so why did Xu Shiyue act like this
Qin Wen was suddenly filled with anger, and he hardened his heart, thinking that he would just give up his job.
But he turned his head to look at Lu Shizhen again, and slowly swallowed the words stuck in his throat.
It's not that he's scared.
But it was the way Lu Shizhen behaved at that moment that made him feel that this was not something that this person did.
Although Xu Shiyue did not have any serious injuries, the cuts were quite deep and had stones mixed in, so they needed to be properly treated to avoid leaving scars.
The servant was applying medicine to Xu Shiyue according to the instructions just given, while Lu Shizhen was sitting beside him watching carefully and silently.
The jade-white hand was supporting the head as usual, and the uncorrected sitting posture seemed a bit casual and mischievous.
But his eyes did not wander around greedily and possessively like they did in the first few times. Now he looked down and was carefully watching the servant treating Xu Shiyue's wound.
Qin Wen heard that something happened at home this afternoon. Time was urgent, and Aunt Sun did not tell him too much.
Now that I think about it, it was probably because of this incident that Xu Shiyue suffered so many injuries and even had a high fever.
Fortunately, Xu Shiyue has been taking medicine on time these days, and his health is much better than before. The situation this time is much better than the last time.
Qin Wen wanted to trust Lu Shizhen once again, so he carefully gave Xu Shiyue an IV and said, "Miss, although Miss Xu is in better shape than before, she is still weak. She caught a cold and needs to rest for the next few days."
"Okay." Lu Shizhen nodded. She was very confident in Qin Wen's treatment.
"The most important thing is Miss Xu's foot. Her left foot has a slight sprain. Although the bones are not injured, she still needs to rest well, apply medicine on time, and avoid strenuous activities within a week." Qin Wen added.
"Then I will ask the kitchen to buy some more big bones and the like to nourish Miss Xu." Aunt Sun said immediately.
"Okay." Qin Wen nodded.
Then he reminded Aunt Sun of some precautions regarding dietary supplements. Seeing that Xu Shiyue was fine, he followed Aunt Sun.
The servant who applied medicine to Xu Shiyue was very skillful. He treated all the wounds in a short while, packed up his things and left the room.
Now, Lu Shizhen and Xu Shiyue were the only ones left in the quiet room.
Lu Shizhen looked at the tidy desk and her eyes couldn't help but move around the room.
Just as Aunt Sun said, the room was kept exceptionally clean by Xu Shiyue.
She did not take away any of the courtesy that the original owner had shown her, and the room was still full yet neat and tidy.
It is hard to imagine how a blind person could do this.
As his gaze shifted, Lu Shizhen looked around and finally landed on the person lying on the bed.
The white medical gauze was quietly attached to her face, and her soft long hair was neatly arranged and draped on the sides of her face.
Xu Shiyue's high fever had subsided, and she was falling into a deep sleep, her crow-feather eyelashes drooping, and a different kind of fragility evident on her quiet little face.
It's like a daisy that has just grown out of the ground and bloomed pure white flowers, weak yet tough.
The wind wanted to break her branches and blew her away mercilessly, but in the end she was still blooming.
Lu Shizhen knew that all the pity and sympathy was a humiliation to Xu Shiyue, but she still couldn't help feeling a little sad.
The so-called fate turns out to be such a cruel script.
The Lord God will not let her die easily. She wants her to experience all the turmoil and grow into a heroine who supports the world.
"… "
Lu Shizhen sighed deeply, and the hair on his head was blown up.
"Ah~ The world is finally stable again. We are saved."
Qiuqiu slowly landed on her head, buried his head in her hair, and let out a long sigh: "Fortunately, the main system command was triggered this time, otherwise I don’t know what terrible things would happen, and I might have been sent to be destroyed."
Upon hearing this, Lu Shizhen hid his thoughts calmly and nodded.
She also released the tense strength in her body and leaned back on the chair like a girl: "You're right. My legs might be in danger."
At this point, Lu Shizhen rubbed his hands as if he remembered something, and looked up at Qiuqiu who was curled up on top of his head: "Qiuqiu, you see, the world is now stable again thanks to our efforts. Can't we talk to the system and return some points to me after the rescue command is successfully executed?"
Qiuqiu was a little disgusted: "Host, you have already spent all this, there is no reason for you to ask for it back..."
"I don't want that." Lu Shizhen immediately denied it and gave an example: "Look, people on Taobao still pay attention to returning gold coins and points after confirming receipt. Don't you have any reward mechanism for a large system like yours? You have to stimulate the host to earn points."
Although Qiuqiu felt that what Lu Shizhen said made sense, she still twisted her body above her head and said, "We don't have it."
Emergency situations always stimulate people's hormones. Although Lu Shizhen didn't feel heartbroken when she was spending the money, she felt so heartbroken at this moment.
She listened to Qiuqiu's denial, made a bitter face, and said: "But that was 1.01 points that I spent a lot of effort to save up..."
Qiuqiu knew how hard it was for Lu Shizhen to get this little bit of information. To help her feel more balanced, she took the initiative to explain to her, "In fact, host, the main system needs to perform huge calculations to select the result with the highest success rate and the least impact on the world. After that, they are responsible for a series of follow-up work. If it involves manipulating the human body, they also need to modify the memory of the invaded person to make them feel that their behavior is reasonable."
"Host, it's great that the main system is willing to complete the execution for you with these few points."
Lu Shizhen glanced at Qiuqiu, and his pitiful look became even more complicated.
She felt bad about her points being cleared, but it seemed like the system didn't make much money either.
But who will empathize with the capitalists
"Host, we will have more points later..." Qiuqiu continued to comfort.
Lu Shizhen snorted, with a somewhat negative attitude: "You said that a few days ago. Tell me, where are my 'more points' now? Who picked up my 'more points'?"
But this time, before Qiuqiu could open her mouth to help Lu Shizhen adjust his mindset, another voice rang out between the two of them.
" 1"
"3"
" 1"
"10"
" 1"
"5"
The points system's announcement sound was calm and irregular, with all plus signs being announced one by one.
It was as if it had just been frozen by the cold air outside, and now it was finally loading slowly.
The mechanical sound lasted for more than a minute, and the fragmentary added scores formed a long string in Lu Shizhen's head.
Lu Shizhen couldn't believe his ears. He just sat in the chair, staring at Xu Shiyue who had already fallen asleep, without blinking.
The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Qiuqiu slowly flew down from Lu Shizhen's head.
She just held the small whiteboard she used for calculations, pointed to the "100" she had circled, and said, "Host, it seems to be here."
.
The night gradually deepened, and Lu Shizhen quietly left Xu Shiyue's room after the servant took off her needles.
The moonlight shines on the quiet villa and garden. All things are asleep, waiting for the next day's sun.
"Wheel, wheel..."
At this moment, Xu Shiyue heard the sound of something rolling under her feet.
It was a large, bright red apple. The light from the corridor fell on it, reflecting beautiful colors.
Xu Shiyue was a little puzzled as to why the apple was so big, but then she discovered that her vision had become shorter and her blue and white striped clothes looked particularly large.
She seemed to have become what she was like when she was a child.
Xu Shiyue felt a little strange, but somehow he stretched out his hands and slowly picked up the heavy apple.
The corridor was filled with the smell of disinfectant, and she subconsciously looked up in the direction where the apple came from.
It was a long corridor longer than any other in the hospital.
And at the end there was a little girl sitting in a wheelchair.
