The ward suddenly became extremely quiet, and Xu Shiyue's voice was as cold as ever.
The sunlight shining in through the glass window cast a layer of illusion over the room, and even coated the words she uttered with an indescribable sense of illusion.
The crisp sound of the apple crunching rang out in the room, and the slow biting felt like grinding one's heart.
A faint fruity scent permeates the disinfectant water in the room, and ambiguity arises as they cuddle.
Lu Shizhen was completely stunned. She always felt that she was wrong.
In her opinion, the word "ambiguous" is the word that is farthest away from the image of Xu Shiyue.
But the bright red apple just pressed over the girl's lips, coating the light pink with a beautiful layer of crystal.
The originally bland and light texture was given a softer and fuller look, seemingly unintentionally reminding people of things underwater.
I don’t know if it’s because people are deceived by the beauty.
Or maybe she did it on purpose.
Lu Shizhen bit her lip subconsciously and even forgot to respond to Xu Shiyue's question.
Xu Shiyue did not forget, and took the remaining half of the rabbit apple with a fork and asked: "Why, you don't want to?"
How could Lu Shizhen not be willing
She just felt guilty that Xu Shiyue was unable to attend the award ceremony because of her.
Then she thought about how she hadn't responded to Xu Shiyue just now, and she was worried that Xu Shiyue would misunderstand her hesitation and deduct points from her. Before she could think, she said, "Then... then I'll make up an award ceremony for you, okay?"
Xu Shiyue paused for a moment with the fork in his hand and asked, "How do I fix it?"
"That is... I will book the hall for the orchestra's award ceremony, and then invite Teacher Chen to come..." Lu Shizhen planned, but before she could finish, she was interrupted by Xu Shiyue: "Lu Shizhen, do you think money is omnipotent?"
no…
Lu Shizhen pursed her lips and answered quietly in her heart.
She just said that she didn't like her compensation plan very much.
Compensation must be sincere. A replica built with money like this is a bit too money-oriented.
Especially for Xu Shiyue.
Maybe it was because he hadn’t fully recovered yet, but Lu Shizhen felt his head was buzzing, but he couldn’t think of any good ideas for compensation for a while.
But no matter what, if you want to compensate others, you have to show some sincerity.
Lu Shizhen pursed her lips slightly, as if she had made up her mind, and looked up at Xu Shiyue beside the bed: "What do you want? As long as you ask, I will definitely give it to you."
Although Lu Shizhen's words were not much better than the nouveau riche's remarks just now, they could easily make people think of money.
But Xu Shiyue could hear the sincerity in these words, just as she knew that the blurry figure in front of her must be flashing a pair of eyes full of sincerity at this moment.
It was pitch black, reflecting the sunlight that was falling in from behind.
Without further embarrassment to Lu Shizhen, Xu Shiyue said: "Then please draw a picture for me."
"Okay." Lu Shizhen immediately nodded in agreement, and eagerly introduced the types of paintings to Xu Shiyue like a menu: "What do you want? Oil painting? Watercolor? Realistic? Impressionistic?"
When Xu Shiyue heard Lu Shizhen's detailed introduction, there seemed to be a light in his eyes.
She just looked at the girl standing in front of her, and said with a meaningful smile: "I didn't expect you know so many types of paintings."
The expression on Lu Shizhen's face paused immediately. This familiar tone made her heart beat wildly.
But she could only suppress this emotion in her heart. She forced herself to remain calm and said to herself, "It's just that I have been involved in it a little bit."
"Have you not heard of the Western proverb, 'The stomach of a noble's son is a grocery store.'" Lu Shizhen looked into Xu Shiyue's eyes and said in an overly steady voice, "Of course, my family is not really aristocratic, but it is still a well-known family anyway."
As he spoke, Lu Shizhen looked at Xu Shiyue.
She was still holding the golden fork in her hand. The brilliant color was spinning slightly in her hand, refracting the light, making her hand look as white as jade, slender and with distinct bones.
As if his doubts were dispelled, Xu Shiyue paused while turning the fork and nodded: "That's right."
Then she asked, "What are you best at?"
"Of course it's b..." Lu Shizhen was about to say that he had been painting on wood for more than ten years in the original world, but suddenly he remembered his previous great performance in school, and immediately changed his words: "Oil painting."
Xu Shiyue looked up at Lu Shizhen and followed up on her question, "What about the ones behind the painting?"
"Board painting." Lu Shizhen replied immediately.
Thinking that Xu Shiyue might not know what it was, she introduced it to her thoughtfully: "It's just drawing on a computer using a black board. It doesn't require paint, just a better display screen and a digital tablet."
The rare and beautiful autumn light shone brightly on the cool ward and on the face of the girl in Xu Shiyue's sight.
Perhaps even Lu Shizhen herself did not realize that her introduction was more enthusiastic than her usual liveliness.
Xu Shiyue nodded calmly and said, "That's it. You decide what to draw. Just don't let me down."
"Okay." Lu Shizhen nodded immediately.
Is there anything better in this world than being able to express yourself freely when answering open-book questions
Of course not.
And maybe when she finishes the painting, Xu Shiyue will be able to give her several hundred extra points.
Wouldn't this bring her one step closer to completing her mission
Lu Shizhen was secretly calculating in his mind, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Xu Shiyue just watched and raised her hand to eat the half rabbit left on the fork.
As soon as the two finished talking, the nurse came with a cart to give Lu Shizhen an infusion.
She was very skilled. As soon as the nurse gave Lu Shizhen the injection, she placed her hand that was receiving the infusion steadily on the bed.
As if he had an excuse, Lu Shizhen supported the phone with his legs and used one hand to search on a certain orange software for the digital tablet and display screen that he had always wanted in his original world but could only look at because they were too expensive.
Just as she was madly adding the digital tablet to the shopping cart without looking at the price but only at its performance, a small thing that looked exactly like Qiuqiu suddenly appeared on the screen of her mobile phone.
There was a bubble floating above the little thing's head, and a line of words appeared in its extremely excited voice: [Host! I finally found the way back! ]
Lu Shizhen was startled at first and almost moved his fixed hand.
However, when she read this line of words, her mind automatically imagined Qiuqiu's familiar tone, and she thought to herself: "Qiuqiu? What's wrong with you?"
But even as she said this in her heart, the little thing on the phone screen did not respond.
Lu Shizhen frowned, as if she had thought of something, and tried to type her question into the search box: [Qiuqiu? What's wrong with you? ]
This time, the little thing on the screen responded, and a text bubble appeared above his head: [For some reason, the world system suddenly became unstable yesterday, and it also affected the main system. I secretly went to get intelligence, and then I was caught in the disrupted data flow. I almost couldn't come back! ]
[Fortunately, I found a shortcut among tens of thousands of codes, and finally came back alive. ]
Although it was text, Lu Shizhen could still feel the cry in Qiuqiu's voice.
She looked at the little thing with some pity and asked: [But why are you in this form? ]
[Because this is the passage I found.] Qiuqiu said.
This little thing seems to have taken after her owner; depression comes and goes quickly.
As she spoke, Qiuqiu showed her various images on Lu Shizhen's mobile phone screen with great enthusiasm and excitement.
Two-dimensional images, pixel grids, Picasso's classic abstract images...
It's just as it should be.
Qiuqiu rolled from one side of the screen to the other in her original form, with the bubbles above her head filled with big bold "hehe".
The bubbles that appeared quickly did not have time to disappear, and Lu Shizhen was dazzled by the monotonous bold words that filled the entire screen.
But when she saw Qiuqiu's rare happy and free look, she didn't have the heart to go up and pour cold water on her and stop her.
After watching Qiuqiu exploring her image in the mobile world for a long time, Lu Shizhen typed in the search box: [Can you still come out? ]
Qiuqiu still maintained his professional ethics. Hearing this, he immediately stopped and said, "I need to restore my own data flow for a while. The points system seems to have been disrupted. I have to be responsible for repairing it."
Lu Shizhen's eyes lit up, and his fingers tapped the screen very briskly: [Then can you fix the bug that doesn't display the points? ]
Qiuqiu on the screen shook her head, and the text came out a little slowly: [Very bad news, because the data has been disrupted, the statistics of the points system may have to start from scratch. ]
"… "
Lu Shizhen's eyes widened as if a bolt of lightning had struck him.
This way, she will have to wait till the end of time to see the status of her points!
Then Qiuqiu remembered something and said to Lu Shizhen: [Oh, there is one more thing, host.]
[I just found a piece of data in the system records, and found that when you were receiving the system punishment, Xu Shiyue forcibly contacted and rescued you. Her behavior is already considered as a non-system character contacting the system. I suspect that this is what disrupted the main system. ]
As Lu Shizhen listened, she remembered that the main system had added an extra layer of shielding to her punishment.
It was because of this shielding penalty that the killer passed by me without seeing me.
And Xu Shiyue...
Lu Shizhen then realized that Xu Shiyue found her in the shielding where no one could detect her.
Compared to the casual chat between Xu Shiyue and Shen Yanxing just now, the fact that Xu Shiyue found him through the system shield made Lu Shizhen's heart boil.
The sound of her heartbeat was beating against Lu Shizhen's chest. She had never had such a warm and complicated feeling before.
An inexplicable sense of urgency pushed her to make sure this happened, so she typed expectantly and cautiously: [Is this possible? ]
[Theoretically, it is unlikely.] Qiuqiu said.
Lu Shizhen suddenly felt disappointed.
But before this piece of emptiness fell far, Qiuqiu helped her pick it up again: [But the system instructions are just a collection of many advanced programs, so this possibility cannot be ruled out. Moreover, Xu Shiyue is the protagonist, and the system's detectability is very low, so the tolerance for her is relatively high. ]
Lu Shizhen's heart, which had been beating fast, slowly began to beat faster, and she felt an unprecedented joy.
It’s not just because Xu Shiyue broke through the system’s constraints, but because Xu Shiyue broke through the system’s constraints for her.
Lu Shizhen had never felt that words were so magical, but just adding a few more words really gave her a completely new feeling.
Lu Shizhen couldn't describe what this feeling was.
But she knew that she was very fortunate because it was Xu Shiyue who gave her this feeling.
I don’t know when it started, but Lu Shizhen’s admiration for the main god and the main system in the system text turned into some other different ideas.
She now thought of the main system being defeated, and a sense of rebellious pleasure arose from her nameless excitement. Her fingers tapped the screen of her mobile phone, making a clacking sound: [As expected of the heroine, she can easily accomplish things that I cannot do. ]
[Yes, Xu Shiyue is officially recognized as Black Moonlight.] Qiuqiu echoed.
I don’t know if it was because the little ball rolling on the screen was too funny, or because of some sentence, but Lu Shizhen’s eyes curved.
She wanted to ask Qiuqiu about her experience yesterday, but suddenly out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of a plate with neatly arranged red rabbit apples.
"apple?"
Xu Shiyue held the plate in one hand and the fork with the rabbit apple on it in the other, motioning to Lu Shizhen.
The blush of an apple was on her hand, and her fair skin exuded a rosy warmth in Lu Shizhen's sight.
Lu Shizhen didn't know where the sudden embarrassment came from, and his eyes flickered abnormally. He said "up" and was about to take the plate from Xu Shiyue's hand.
The fingers passed slightly, and there was a slight coolness wrapped in the warmth.
Xu Shiyue's hands were not as warm as Lu Shizhen saw, and she did not give all the apples to her as Lu Shizhen wished.
"Do you want to have a needle?" Xu Shiyue reminded, his voice sounding serious and calm.
Lu Shizhen didn't quite understand what Xu Shiyue was trying to do. He asked her whether she wanted to eat it or not, but didn't give her the apple.
And the next second, Xu Shiyue told her what she was going to do with her own actions.
"Open your mouth."
The cute rabbit apple held in Xu Shiyue's hand moved in front of her, and her jade-like hand was within reach.
The faint scent of apples mixed with the wrist overwhelmed the smell of disinfectant in the room, gently but unavoidably invading Lu Shizhen's nostrils.
thump.
Lu Shizhen's heart skipped a beat.
I don’t know if it’s because the sunlight outside the window is too gentle at this moment, and it has cast a layer of gentleness on Xu Shiyue that is contrary to her coldness.
The arm she stretched out was as straight as when she held the bow, and her extremely calm expression seemed to indicate that she did this only to prevent Lu Shizhen from provoking her.
And because of this, the person who had the unrealistic idea was made to feel ashamed.
Lu Shizhen felt his heart in turmoil.
Just when she wanted to refuse, Xu Shiyue's voice rang in her ears again: "It's sour."
The voice was clear and cold, yet with a hint of coquettishness that was hard to pin down.
As if to remind herself, she had kept her arms raised for a long time.
Lu Shizhen's eyes were slightly startled.
For some unknown reason, after Xu Shiyue said this, he lowered his head and took a bite of the rabbit apple that she handed to him.
At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside.
Without knocking on the door to warn others, a woman dressed as a head nurse came in with her hands in her pockets and talked to Cheng Meiyan.
She just looked at the two people who were behaving intimately at the moment, turned to Cheng Meiyan and smiled: "Madam, your couple have a really good relationship."
