Jiang Family Villa, bedroom on the second floor.
Jiang Juan couldn't remember how he felt when he returned home. He was sitting on a chair, looking at the blue light spot floating in front of him, and said with a grim expression, "The symbiosis system... you mean, I can feel it." From Xie Jingxian's physical pain and hunger..."
The blue spot of light turned around, and Jiang Juan heard a cold electronic sound resounding in his mind: "To be exact, host, you can feel all the pain on Xie Jingxian's body."
Jiang Juan was dissatisfied: "I can't feel the pleasure in his body, but I have to bear the pain together, so if something happens to him..." Jiang Juan frowned fiercely at this point, no, that's not the point.
Jiang Juan was silent for a while, and said, "You dragged me into this world? Let me guess, you probably want me to do something."
After getting the exact answer, he said: "I can tell you clearly, I refuse."
The system said: "Host, don't you want to go home?"
Jiang Juan was startled, then raised his head suddenly: "What did you say? Can I go back?"
Jiang Juan passed away unexpectedly. Although he regained his life after coming to this world, his family was something he never dared to think about. He couldn't imagine how his parents would react and how sad they would be when they learned of his death. The only thing that can comfort me is to live well in this world.
if he can go back...
The system said: "Since you appeared here, the time in your original world has stopped. When you complete the task, we will go back to the time before your accident, which is regarded as a reward for you."
Jiang Juan's heart was pounding, and the time went back to before his accident, which meant that he could avoid the car accident. He will not die.
Jiang Juan suppressed his beating heartbeat. He understood that there is no such thing as a free lunch. He calmed himself down and asked, "What will happen to you if I still don't agree?"
The system said: "That's a pity, the signing of the contract failed, I can only send you back to the original world."
Sending him back to the original world meant that he would die.
Jiang Juanxin said that it was really simple and rude. He asked if this was the case, why the system didn't come out at the first time, so as not to waste each other's time.
The system said that this was the test it set. It likes smart people and doesn't like to be with idiots. If it fails the test it sets, it is not qualified to be its partner. It kicks people back.
Jiang Juan: ... quite individual.
It's not that Jiang Juan hasn't read the novels of system traversal, but he didn't expect those authors to have such big brains, and the things they imagined would come true. Or in other words, the person who wrote the first novel of system travel had experienced it himself.
There are two roads in front of you, as long as you are not a fool, you will know which one to choose.
Jiang Juan said: "So why did you bring me in? The original owner died in an accident, and I need to take over the plot for him, do what the original owner should have done, and advance the development of the plot?"
Who wants the system to be serious: "No, I'm different from those unscrupulous guys in Department A. Our task is to protect the male lead, not to cause trouble for him and let them taste the taste of despair. What we have to do is to give He loves and warms up and makes him grow up healthy."
Jiang Juan: ... It's all a system, why is there still discrimination between departments
The system continued: "We monitor the plot development of each small world and let it develop according to the original track. Not long ago, we detected that the blackening value of the male protagonist in this world has increased rapidly. If we leave it alone, the male protagonist may eventually become Crazy batch of murderers, this is really not in line with our pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty, so host, we have a heavy burden on our shoulders."
Let him protect Xie Jingxian? Let Xie Jingxian feel warmth and love? Jiang Juan found it funny, isn't this the heroine's job
When it comes to the heroine, the system is a little embarrassed: "There is an accident with the heroine, and there will be some delays, so I can't come to Jincheng High School for the time being."
Jiang Juan understood that the system monitors the development of these worlds, but it cannot completely control the direction of the plot. All he can do is to get the plot back on track when deviations occur.
Now the data of the male protagonist is abnormal, and the female protagonist cannot arrive at the first time.
If things go on like this, when the heroine comes, I'm afraid the hero has lost control, so at this time, someone needs to replace the heroine to warm the hero. Let him not despair.
Jiang Juan thought in his heart, the heroine is delayed by something, at most two or three months, or three or four months will come. When the heroine arrives, the hero's life will be much easier. At that time, he only needs to wait for the hero and heroine to complete the entire plot, and then he can go home.
In other words, he only needs to "take care" of the hero for a few months. Or maybe he could just relax and not have to do anything.
——The original host acted viciously, which brought very bad campus memories to the male host. If there was no such thing as the original host, Xie Jingxian would not be blackened so quickly, and he would have more trust in human nature.
If so, Jiang Juan's eyes lit up bit by bit. It's just that he still has concerns in his heart.
Jiang Juan looked at the blue light spot in front of him and said, "You pull the dead people in and let us do things for you. After completing the mission, we can go back and get a second life. What about you? ?”
He didn't believe that this creature beyond human comprehension was doing charity.
The system didn't mean to hide it, and said softly: "Let's put it this way, you humans need food and water to survive, and what we need is the happiness of the protagonists in these small worlds. That is the source of our strength and the foundation of our existence. We just take what we need, rest assured, we have no malicious intentions and will not hurt you."
Jiang Juan thought about it in his heart. According to the system, they draw power from the happiness of the protagonist in the massive world generated by novels or other things, so...
Jiang Juan asked: "The people in this world, do they really exist, or are they just fictional tools for gaining power? What am I here, a bunch of data?"
The system said: "It all depends on how the host thinks about it in your heart."
Jiang Juan chuckled, whether it was true or not, and whether it was false or not, it all depended on his own mind.
interesting.
The system was always paying attention to Jiang Juan's expression changes, and seeing his narrowed eyes showing interest, he asked, "Host, if you agree to sign a contract with me, just sign it."
Jiang Juan saw a contract in front of him, and he briefly browsed through it. His task is to guide the male lead not to go on the wrong path. After the protagonist completes the plot and obtains happiness, his task will be completed, and the system will help him return to the original world.
Jiang Juan looked it over carefully, and found no language traps, or if there were traps, he had no choice. Jiang Juan raised his hand to sign his name and pressed his fingerprint.
As if he was afraid that he would go back on his word, after pressing the fingerprint, there was only a "swish", and the contract disappeared from his face.
[Congratulations to the host, the contract was successfully signed. ] It is still a cold electronic sound, but it has a contrived liveliness, which gives people a very strange feeling.
After the contract was signed, the blue dot of light floating in front of Jiang Juan—that is, the system—circled around Jiang Juan's left wrist, and a men's watch appeared on his wrist.
It is a well-known luxury brand. This style is a new one recently. It is low-key and luxurious, which is very suitable for Jiang Juan's student status.
Jiang Juan raised his eyebrows, it's aesthetically pleasing.
The system could sense what Jiang Juan was thinking, and proudly said: "Considering your status as a student, I didn't choose one that is too eye-catching for you. I am a very humane system. Remember to give five points when the host task is completed and you go back. Good review."
Jiang Juan smiled and said, "You want to buy me off with just a watch? We'll see how you perform later."
He lightly tapped the dial with his hand, and a page appeared in front of him. This page is similar to the interface of online games that Jiang Juan has played.
I saw Favorability Level written on the left column: 0/100
Trust Score: 0/100
Although it wasn't written clearly, Jiang Juan knew that this meant the male lead Xie Jingxian's affection and trust in him. Obviously, the male lead had a bad impression of him.
He looked to the right again, and the blackening value was displayed on it: 30/100
The story hasn't even started yet, but the hero's blackening value is so high, no wonder the system will pull him in.
At the bottom of the page is the item column, which contains various items, but unfortunately they are all gray and cannot be taken out temporarily.
The system explained: "The favorability and trust can unlock the inventory when reaching a certain value."
Jiang Juan hummed, and after a brief look, there was nothing special about it. Just as he was about to close the page, he noticed that Jiang Juan/088 was written on the top of the page.
"088?"
The system said: "This is my number, which is equivalent to your name."
Jiang Juan nodded, and then 088 continued: "You can also call me by my nickname, 88."
Jiang Juan rolled his eyes, you clearly meant Dad, this system doesn't look very serious, he said seriously: "No, I decided to give you a pet name, let's call it Wangcai."
088: "..."
After finishing the system, Jiang Juan went to the bathroom to take a shower, dried his hair and climbed into bed after midnight.
The pain in his right hand was not unbearable, but it also meant that that kid Xie Jingxian hadn't rested. He thought that Xie Jingxian should be working as a helper at the food stall at this time, and couldn't help but click his tongue, it was really desperate.
Jiang Juan turned off the light, pulled off the quilt, and fell asleep with the pain in his right hand.
The next day, Jiang Juan ate breakfast and went to school. As a result, he felt unbearably hungry before the end of the first class in the morning. Then he remembered that this situation was not the original owner's job, but that kid Xie Jingxian didn't eat breakfast. .
When he said not to provoke the hero, Jiang Juan gritted his teeth and endured it. He didn't believe it anymore, and that kid Xie Jingxian couldn't find something to eat after class. But really not, Xie Jingxian stayed in his seat to catch up on sleep during the class break.
Jiang Juan has hypoglycemia, and he never dared not eat on time. He has tasted the feeling of being hungry on weekdays. Now he is not only hungry, but also has intermittent pains in his right hand, which disturbs his thinking about the problem.
Finally, Jiang Juan angrily dropped his pen and cursed.
He glanced at where Xie Jingxian was, and saw the kid lying on the table, as if he had fallen asleep.
Jiang Juan endured until the big break, chewing the white rabbit toffee, got up and went to the canteen to buy a bunch of food frantically, Xu Rang was bragging to others in the next class, when he turned around, he saw Jiang Juan carrying a big bag Snacks came up from downstairs, and poked the door frame and probed: "Brother Juan, did you evacuate the canteen?"
Jiang Juan casually touched a few packs of potato chips from the bag and threw them over. Xu Rang took them in his hand and said with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Juan, for feeding."
Jiang Juan waved his hand and returned to the classroom with a large bag of snacks. Instead of returning to his seat, he walked directly in front of Xie Jingxian.
When Jiang Juan walked towards Xie Jingxian's direction, the classroom became quiet. Xie Jingxian heard the footsteps stop in front of his desk, and sat up, his eyes didn't have a trace of sleepiness.
Xie Jingxian's eyes swept across the snack bag in Jiang Juan's hand, and then looked at Jiang Juan again, his eyes seemed to ask, what's the matter.
Jiang Juan shook the big bag of snacks in his left hand: "I accidentally bought too much, share it with my classmates."
Xie Jingxian glanced across Jiang Juan's face with a cool look, without speaking or moving.
Yesterday, Jiang Juan chatted for a long time with the students in class (4) in the evening self-study. Many people are not as afraid of him as before. Seeing that he is also in a good mood today, someone smiled and said: "Brother Juan, we are all classmates. , Why did you only give Xie Jingxian ah, I didn't eat in the morning, I was starving to death."
Someone echoed: "Yes, yes, we are all classmates, we can't be partial."
Jiang Juan took out a bottle of lactic acid bacteria from the bag, put a piece of bread on Xie Jingxian's desk, and handed the snack bag to the classmate next to him: "I bought a lot, let's share it."
There was a burst of cheers in the class, and the atmosphere became lively.
Jiang Juanzhong turned his gaze to Xie Jingxian again, saw that he was still not moving, looked at each other for a moment, raised his lips, leaned over and said, "Why, are you worried that I will be poisoned?"
Because of the close distance, Xie Jingxian could smell the sweet milky fragrance from Jiang Juan's lips and teeth, which was the smell of white rabbit toffee. Normally, no one would associate Jiang Juan with the white rabbit toffee, but the taste matched him unexpectedly.
Xie Jingxian narrowed his eyes, and his eyes lingered on Jiang Juan's face. Without those messy accessories and outfits, Jiang Juan in school uniform gave off a cute and docile feeling, but his eyes would become very sharp when he was fighting. .
contradictory qualities.
The classmate next to him who had taken a bite out of the crispy noodles almost choked to death when he heard Jiang Juan's words, and the people next to him hurriedly poured water for him.
Regardless of the mess behind him, Jiang Juan picked up the bread on the table and tore open the package, broke off half and ate it in front of Xie Jingxian.
Such a naive and childish provocation...
Xie Jingxian's gloomy mood improved because of Jiang Juan's actions. For the first time, he smiled in front of Jiang Juan. With a chuckle, he picked up the remaining half of the bread, looked into Jiang Juan's eyes, and took a bite , chewed slowly, and swallowed.
