The girl's palm was as cold as ever, and she held Lu Shizhen's withdrawing hand tightly.
Lu Shizhen couldn't believe her eyes. The light was swaying like an arc in her falling sight, and that person was holding her hand, his expression still as calm as ever.
In fact, Xu Shiyue didn’t know why she reached out to help Lu Shizhen.
Maybe it was subconscious kindness, or some other reason, she once again saved her when she could have perfectly dealt with this lunatic.
But she didn't know that Lu Shizhen was not trying to seek balance after taking a step in the air, but it was a subconscious action after losing the strength in his legs.
Although Xu Shiyue's health has been recovering better and better these days, she still has little strength.
The force of falling backwards pulled Lu Shizhen downwards, and Xu Shiyue was caught off guard and was dragged down with him.
In an instant, the world seemed to be turning upside down, and the hard iron edges of the steps hurt people so much.
It’s hard to say who was protecting whom. While Lu Shizhen subconsciously held Xu Shiyue in his arms, he felt the warmth of Xu Shiyue’s palm on his fragile neck.
"Tighten your body."
The girl's extremely calm voice fell into Lu Shizhen's ears, making her obey subconsciously.
In a daze, Lu Shizhen raised her eyes and suddenly found that the friendly distance between the two of them had suddenly shrunk to the extreme, and the distance between their noses was barely visible.
The light and shadow flickered, falling into Lu Shizhen's sight frame by frame.
She could see Xu Shiyue's furrowed brows and her crow-feather-like eyelashes flickering.
The scent of this person was enveloping him, cold yet warm because of her breath against his ear.
In an instant, Lu Shizhen's heart, which had been beating wildly due to the coming punishment, suddenly fell back to its original position.
It's a feeling that's hard to describe.
The loss of control of her legs made her extremely panicked, and at this moment there appeared someone beside her who had experienced the same incident with her.
It seems like we share weal and woe.
But Lu Shizhen felt that the description of sharing weal and woe was a bit too rough.
She didn't know how long it had been, maybe only a few seconds, or maybe a century had passed. Lu Shizhen's confused thoughts were shattered by a slightly severe pain, and then she felt stable.
Finally, he rolled down the stairs to the ground.
Lu Shizhen felt that except for her legs, her whole body was screaming in pain.
She just lay on the ground, and before she could fully come to her senses, she heard footsteps.
"Miss! Miss Xu!"
"Miss, are you okay?"
"What happened? Why did you fall from the building?"
"Go call Dr. Qin!"
Aunt Sun and the other maids heard the noise and hurriedly ran over from all directions, surrounding the area.
Everyone's face was filled with anxiety and tension, and Lu Shizhen's ears were filled with chatter.
"Come on, Miss. Let me help you up first."
Aunt Sun squatted beside Lu Shizhen and was about to help Lu Shizhen up from the ground.
But Lu Shizhen knew that he couldn't stand up at all now, and felt a little panicked for a moment.
"That I..."
“Buzz—”
Just as Lu Shizhen was trying to find an excuse to delay until the end of the punishment time, the clicking countdown in her mind suddenly distorted.
It was like an electric current passing through, hitting her head with a buzzing sound and making a piercing sound in her ears.
The countdown device that was flashing with indigo light seemed to have broken down suddenly, and the numbers that were originally counting down slowly suddenly moved backwards rapidly.
Until the number retreated to 00:01, and then the countdown was cleared, Lu Shizhen heard a sharp sound in his ears: "Beep!!"
Then, the main system notification sounded mechanically: [Appeal successful, punishment withdrawn.]
Lu Shizhen was confused by this series of changes. Before she could react to what was going on, Qiuqiu rushed to her with a flash of light.
The round body supported by its weak wings flew around in Lu Shizhen's sight, even leaving an afterimage.
Qiuqiu was extremely excited and announced happily: "Host! Host! The appeal was successful! The main system has withdrawn the punishment! You are fine! "
Lu Shizhen was stunned for a moment, and then was supported by Aunt Sun and the maid to stand up from the ground.
The leg that had just lost control was a little stiff, but it still stood steadily under her control.
Her legs are... back.
Joy, mixed with other emotions.
Lu Shizhen was just feeling the legs that she could control at will when she heard a cry of surprise: "Ah! How come there is such a big wound on your knee?"
Aunt Sun's voice was full of nervousness and sounded a little scared.
Lu Shizhen lowered his head in confusion, only to see a long streak of blood running down his knee. His delicate skin was scraped, revealing a bright and cruel scarlet color.
Lu Shizhen felt that this scene was somewhat familiar, yet somewhat strange.
A long time ago, or rather not long ago, she had experienced something like this.
The inability to feel pain seems to have become a God-given barrier.
How she wished she could feel the same pain that the person on the other side showed when he saw her wounds.
And now, she felt it.
The sensation in my legs slowly returned, and the forgotten pain was like a swarm of ants, climbing back up the blood vessels and muscles in my legs.
In an instant, it was as if the soul that was blown away by the impact returned to the owner's body. The belated pain was like a surging wave that caught Lu Shizhen off guard.
pain.
It really hurts.
"Go get the medicine box!" Aunt Sun looked at Lu Shizhen's gradually frowning brows and hurriedly told the maid beside her, helping her to leave, "Come on, Miss, I'll help you to the sofa."
The sound of hurried footsteps was heard throughout the huge villa, and figures hurriedly flashed past the windows, sometimes bright and sometimes dark.
Xu Shiyue seemed to have been forgotten, sitting there with only Yuanzi by her side.
The midday sun was bright and dazzling. She just listened to the sounds coming towards her, and then retreating in twos and threes.
As if all this had nothing to do with her.
Xu Shiyue knew clearly that this was not her place, and she was not the one being cared for and worried about.
But as she watched the figure surrounded by the crowd gradually move away from her, her heart suddenly sank.
The surroundings became quiet, and the scent of roses slowly disappeared in the slightly cool air.
After a pause, Xu Shiyue supported his red palm and prepared to stand up alone.
At this moment, she heard a voice searching in her ears: "Where is Xu Shiyue?"
Just as she took a step forward with the help of Aunt Sun, Lu Shizhen stopped her steps being supported by Aunt Sun and asked hurriedly.
When Aunt Sun heard Lu Shizhen ask this, she realized that Xu Shiyue didn't come with them, and hurriedly asked, "Why didn't anyone come to see how Miss Xu was?!"
The loss that was about to hit rock bottom was picked up again, and became clean again as the servant cleaned the dust off her clothes.
Surrounded by people again, Xu Shiyue watched the shadow who was being supported by someone not far away without leaving any trace.
It was like she didn't know why he suddenly reached out to help her.
Just when she thought she had been forgotten, this person still remembered her.
But she always remembers some trivial things.
"Miss Xu has no wounds on her legs, only a small cut on her elbow." After examining Xu Shiyue, the maid replied carefully.
Aunt Sun didn't wait for Lu Shizhen to say anything when she heard this, and immediately said, "Then why are you still standing there? Hurry up and help him over to apply the medicine!"
"yes!"
In a hurry, Lu Shizhen and Xu Shiyue were helped to the sofa in the living room.
While applying medicine to Lu Shizhen, Auntie Sun asked, "Miss, why did you fall down all of a sudden? Are you feeling unwell? Or is it because of drinking last night?"
Lu Shizhen endured the pain in his knee and shook his head: "No, I just accidentally lost my focus and stepped on the air."
"Miss, don't think about things when you walk next time." Aunt Sun warned, "Be careful, this is too scary."
Lu Shizhen nodded.
She gently stroked her fingers and thought of the hand that held her in panic.
For some unknown reason, Lu Shizhen turned slightly and looked at Xu Shiyue who was sitting next to him.
The sunlight slanted slightly and fell into the living room without being too dazzling.
Xu Shiyue sat upright as usual, and the maid was carefully applying medicine to her elbow.
Although the wound on her elbow was smaller than his own, it was still a scratch and was scarlet and bloody.
When the brown-red iodine was applied, Lu Shizhen, who had actually felt the pain, couldn't help but take a breath in his heart.
But Xu Shiyue still had no expression on her face, and she didn't even frown.
He was so calm and composed as if he was immune to these things.
Suddenly, Lu Shizhen remembered what Xu Shiyue experienced after the fire in his home in the original text.
The pain at that time must have been a hundred times more painful than it is now.
The girl's heart sank for a moment. Half a second later, Lu Shizhen said to Xu Shiyue, "Thank you for what happened just now. I owe you two favors now. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."
Xu Shiyue doesn't like to owe favors to others, but she also doesn't like to care about the favors others owe her.
She just looked at the figure in her sight and said calmly: "Then walk carefully and listen to the class carefully from now on."
Lu Shizhen choked, as if he felt the disgust from the heroine.
It's true that she was wrong in physics, but you really can't blame her when it comes to walking.
It’s all because of that damn main system!
It was just that she couldn't explain these words to Xu Shiyue, so she simply nodded and promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely do what you said."
The girl's words were so confident that they were particularly believable.
Xu Shiyue just listened but didn't say anything else.
She didn't care about Lu Shizhen's promise.
It was just that for some unknown reason, I felt that having her guarantee wasn't a bad idea.
"Let's see if Doctor Qin has any effective medicine." Aunt Sun put medical gauze on Lu Shizhen and interrupted their conversation with a distressed look, "I don't know if Doctor Qin has any good medicine."
Lu Shizhen felt that Aunt Sun's reaction today was particularly strong, and couldn't help but comfort her in a gentle voice: "It's okay, it will fade away slowly."
"Miss, you have a constitution that easily scars." Aunt Sun said, "The scar on your thigh has finally disappeared in the past two years. You must take good care of this wound, otherwise the madam will be heartbroken again."
Lu Shizhen felt that what Aunt Sun said was a bit inappropriate and inexplicably mysterious.
She just looked at the pair of legs that belonged to her again, and seemed to see a faint mark on the outside of her left leg, which occupied the entire thigh.
Why did the original owner have such a huge and difficult to remove scar here
Could it be that the original owner has some unspeakable secrets about his past that are not revealed in the book
.
"It happened so fast that I went straight over the authority and ran to the main system. I said, 'Master of the main system, isn't it a bit hasty to judge that our host was intimate? Our host was just drunk and didn't really want to seduce the heroine. She just wanted to share the fact that she had a pair of healthy legs with others. What's wrong with that? And even in the original text, the original owner had such thoughts about Xu Shiyue later. How can you say that our host deviated from her character and did it on purpose!', the master of the main system immediately fell into deep thought..."
The sun sets and the moon rises, and the dark night covers the world early.
The villa was exceptionally quiet tonight, as if it was kept there deliberately for frightened people.
But the room of the frightened man was brightly lit, and there seemed to be light and shadows sliding on the windows reflecting the light.
Qiuqiu's voice was sonorous and powerful, and its wings flashed majestically.
In this way, he vividly told Lu Shizhen about its glorious deeds of bravely breaking into the main system and arguing for its rights.
But the person sitting on the bed and listening seemed a little absent-minded.
She just sat cross-legged and looked at the small ball that kept shaking in her sight, her eyes unfocused.
This was the first time that Lu Shizhen faced and felt the terror from the system.
This kind of terror is different from the fear brought by the unknown mystery. It is the fear that this world has already been written with a predetermined trajectory and everyone is following the script of their destiny.
Lu Shizhen originally thought that she knew everything that was going to happen here and was a highly free person who had escaped from this world.
But she didn't expect that someone had already tied an invisible rope around her legs, strictly restricting her freedom.
Her mission to break free from the original owner's destiny was just another script given to her by the Lord God.
There is no free lunch in the world, and the so-called freedom is based on framework rules.
Her legs came easily, but it would be just as easy to lose them.
In fact, it is very easy not to do anything out of line towards Xu Shiyue.
She doesn't like girls either, and she won't have any improper thoughts about Xu Shiyue like the original owner, or do anything excessive or outrageous.
Just like the original plan, Xu Shiyue would be well taken care of at home, and when it was time for her to leave, her hand would be handed over to another female protagonist.
What's there to feel depressed about
Why do you feel depressed
“Dangdang.”
Just then, there were two knocks on Lu Shizhen's door, interrupting Qiuqiu's passionate narration.
Lu Shizhen thought that it was Aunt Sun again who came to bring her some tonic to calm her nerves, so she got out of bed reluctantly.
Lu Shizhen walked slowly to the door.
But she didn't expect that when she pushed open the door that she had blocked from the inside, the person standing at the door was not Aunt Sun.
But it was Xu Shiyue.
The girl was wearing loose home clothes, and her straight shadow covered Lu Shizhen.
She seemed to be holding something in her hand, and asked in her usual calm voice, "Did I disturb your rest?"
