What do you want to ask him?

Seeing that Huo Haocheng didn't press her further and even said he had questions for the system, Ruan Ruan couldn't help but wonder why Huo Haocheng wasn't following the expected pattern.

"I'll only know after I see her, okay, sweetie, can I see her?"

Huo Haocheng simply stroked Ruan Ruan's hair gently. You should know that in the 22nd century, apart from her grandparents in the compound, no one had ever touched Ruan Ruan like that before, and her face immediately turned red.

"On...on...there"

Ruan Ruan blushed, but trying to remain calm, she pointed towards the system and said to it.

"Come down."

"Host, you've just sold me out like this?!"

The system manifested a physical entity, which leaped and landed in Ruan Ruan's arms.

"Host, do you feel cold?"

Just as he was about to complain about Ruan Ruan, he felt a chill run down his spine before he could even utter a word.

Before Ruan Ruan could reply, the system turned its head and saw Huo Haocheng staring intently at it. Startled, it jumped to the other side of the bed.

"Host, help me!"

Ruan Ruan glanced at Huo Haocheng, then turned to look at the system. She saw him standing on his hind paws, his front paws tightly clasped to his chest, and his body was still trembling.

Ruan Ruan couldn't understand why it was still standing and wouldn't lie down, even though it was trembling like that.

Huo Haocheng scoffed, "This is it? A system? Are all systems this cowardly these days? Looks like it poses no threat to Ruan Ruan."

"Alright, you go first..."

"Put your feet down."

Looking at this system, Huo Haocheng didn't know how to describe it.

"oh"

The system obediently lay down, then looked up at Huo Haocheng, as if asking, "Is this okay?"

"Um"

Strangely, Huo Haocheng understood its meaning.

"I just want to ask you, is your existence harmful to Ruan Ruan?"

At this point, Huo Haocheng wouldn't be foolish enough to ask why she had to bind herself to Ruan Ruan. Everything had already happened, and asking now was pointless. The most important thing now was to make sure that this system wouldn't bring her any danger.

"No, I will protect her if she is in danger."

The system firmly stated that its existence was for protection, not harm.

"That's good. From now on, you'll stay with your sister and protect her safety."

Hearing the system's firm answer, Huo Haocheng was completely relieved.

"You can leave now, but don't go into your sister's room to sleep from now on."

Having asked all his questions, Huo Haocheng didn't want this eyesore around here.

As the system left, it gave Ruan Ruan a mournful look, hoping she would leave it behind. But Ruan Ruan didn't even glance at it, so the system reluctantly slipped out through the window.

"We're so familiar with the system OS, is there anything I can't see?"

After the annoying guy left, Huo Haocheng took Ruan Ruan's hand and sat on the bed.

"You've had a long day, little sister, get some rest."

As he spoke, he knelt down again to help Ruan Ruan take off her shoes.

"Brother, you came over so late just to take off my shoes and let me go to sleep?"

Ruan Ruan was a little confused by Huo Haocheng's actions. At first, she thought he had something to say to her, or perhaps he wanted to do something indescribable...

“ε=(′ο｀*))) Sigh”

Huo Haocheng sighed, looked at Ruan Ruan with a half-smile, then pulled up the blanket, gestured for Ruan Ruan to lie down, covered her up, and then took off his shoes, lay down on his side next to Ruan Ruan, and hugged her and the blanket together.

"It's very late. Let's talk about it tomorrow. Go to sleep."

It wasn't that Huo Haocheng didn't want to say or do anything; it was just that Ruan Ruan had brought him too many shocks today. Even though he had a thousand words in his heart when he came to find Ruan Ruan, he didn't want to say a single one now, nor did he want to ask any more questions. As long as she was still in his arms, that was enough.

Are you going to sleep here tonight?

Seeing Huo Haocheng holding her with his eyes closed, and the dark circles under his eyes so obvious in the shadows, Ruan Ruan's heart melted.

Seeing that Huo Haocheng still didn't speak, Ruan Ruan had no choice but to pull the blanket up and cover him with it.

Sensing what Ruan Ruan was doing, Huo Haocheng slipped into bed and hugged her as Ruan Ruan pulled up the corner of the blanket.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything. I'll go back to my room before Grandma and the others get up tomorrow morning."

Huo Haocheng spoke only after feeling Ruan Ruan prick him a few times.

"You're hugging me too tightly, it makes me uncomfortable."

Hearing Ruan Ruan's words, Huo Haocheng loosened his grip a little, relieved that he hadn't been rejected.

Ruan Ruan nestled closer to Huo Haocheng, wanting to find a comfortable spot to chat with him.

"Little sister, don't move."

Huo Haocheng is in pain but has to try his best to endure it.

Hearing Huo Haocheng's words, Ruan Ruan dared not move anymore.

After a while, once Ruan Ruan sensed that Huo Haocheng had calmed down, she spoke.

"Can I go to town with you tomorrow?"

Ruan Ruan wanted to visit the city as it is now. She had only ever heard about what the small county town was like in the 1970s, but she had never seen it herself. Now that she had the chance, she wanted to go and see it for herself.

However, what Ruan Ruan didn't know was that when she spoke, her breath landed right on Huo Haocheng's Adam's apple, causing his emotions, which had just calmed down, to spiral out of control.

"Hmm..."

Huo Haocheng rolled over and pinned Ruan Ruan down, his rapid kisses instantly stealing the air from her. She didn't know how much time had passed, but Ruan Ruan felt as if she were enveloped in a ball of fire, her mind going blank.

"Take a breath, you silly boy."

It was only then that Ruan Ruan realized she was oxygen-deprived.

"If we had kissed a little longer, would I have been the first person in history to die from a kiss?"

Hehe, hahaha

Even at this point, seeing that Ruan Ruan was still thinking about other things, Huo Haocheng still found Ruan Ruan really cute.

"What are you laughing at?!"

"Go down, go to sleep, go to sleep."

Hearing Huo Haocheng laugh, Ruan Ruan thought he was mocking her for not being able to breathe properly, so she kicked Huo Haocheng's leg. Then she saw Huo Haocheng looking at her with an aggressive gaze, so she buried her head in the quilt and pretended to sleep.

Huo Haocheng was genuinely charmed by Ruan Ruan's cuteness. He smiled, gently lifted Ruan Ruan's head out from under the covers, and then hugged her.

"Go to sleep. We'll go to town tomorrow when you wake up."
