Damn the original book, why didn't it mention any hidden illness he had?

He had stopped breathing heavily and lay calmly on the ground, his face bluish-purple.

Qian Lai burst into tears, unable to stop them, and a nameless sadness welled up in her heart.

She began frantically pressing on his chest, then, lifting the back of his neck, her movements froze...

Goodbye to this body's first kiss!

She took a deep breath and pressed her soft lips to the man's.

Again!

"One, two, three, whew..."

After several times, just as their lips were about to touch again, the man slowly opened his eyes, looking at the girl with affection in them, but his eyes were bloodshot.

A yandere with a broken heart! So pitiful!

Qian Lai's downward movement stopped in mid-air as she met the man's eyes, a sudden thought flashing through her mind.

Before she could react, the man moved closer to her, his eyes pleading: "Please, save me, okay?"

He then grabbed her arm, trying to pull her closer to him, but he was too weak and his body fell down again.

He pulled the girl forward, and she fell straight against his chest, her pink lips meeting his again, her heart pounding.

Their eyes met again. A hidden emotion stirred within each of them.

She quickly straightened up, but unexpectedly, it was as if there was an invisible rope connecting them, pulling the man up with her.

His gaze followed her cherry-like lips. He couldn't tell if it was a physical need or a change in his heart towards her. In any case, a crazy desire gave him the courage at this moment.

Caught off guard, the girl suddenly felt a mountain-like figure envelop her, and then, heart to heart, her lips were locked in a tight kiss.

It's a little exciting, and a little sweet—what's going on?!

Qian Lai, from the modern era, had never experienced such passionate excitement.

Even though she did yearn for it, unfortunately, everyone she encountered had ulterior motives and agendas, leaving her feeling utterly bored.

In her eyes, those men were not even as good as that bunch of obedient experimental subjects.

They are loyal and simple.

Those men were merely toys to satisfy her needs.

It doesn't matter who it is. If it doesn't work, just get a different one.

She doesn't care about their feelings, and they care about her only in exchange.

Without genuine feelings, even the closest physical contact is nothing more than a form of gymnastics.

Why does this man's kiss feel so different from the others?

Qian Lai's mind raced, and her movements became a little stiff, but in Qiao Muting's eyes, it appeared as a girl's innocence and shyness.

The more this happened, the stronger his desire became.

......

The next day, when Qiao Muting fully woke up from his sleep, the girl was nowhere to be seen, only a body covered in a beautiful fragrance remained.

"Uncle Qiao, you're awake?"

Warmly coaxing Wenquan, she rushed to his bedside when she saw him wake up.

"Quickly, get up and have some porridge."

On the table, next to a bowl of hot porridge, were two small dishes of side dishes.

"Where did you come from?" Qiao Muting asked Wen Nuan with some anticipation.

"It was brought by the auntie who ate with us yesterday. She also bought steamed buns for my brother and me. But she said you can only have porridge right now, so my brother and I didn't save any for you. Uncle Qiao, those steamed buns were so delicious. Every bite was a meatball; we've never eaten steamed buns with so much meat before."

With a warm, lingering taste, Qiao Muting unconsciously smiled.

He tried to get up, but his whole body ached and he felt weak, a lingering effect of each attack.

He forced himself to stand up, wanting to find Qian Lai; he had something he wanted to say to her.

Just then, the train conductor and the train police entered the compartment.

"Comrade, we heard you fell ill after your heroic capture of that madwoman yesterday. We've come to visit you, how are you feeling?"

Qiao Muting outwardly acknowledged the visitor's concern, but inwardly he complained: "They really came at the worst possible time."

"...Ah! That woman was actually a pitiful person too." He had been lost in thought and hadn't heard what was said before, but the train conductor's sigh brought him back to reality.

"She disappeared on this train when her child was this age."

She was probably kidnapped by human traffickers.

She reports it to the police every year, but there are no clues at all.

No one investigated it after that.

She started looking for it herself. She took our train every month.

Over time, mental health issues developed.

However, this is indeed the first time that a situation like tonight has happened.

I'm so sorry you had to make it this time!

Is the child alright?

Wenquan hid behind her sister, listening to the train conductor's words with a mixture of understanding and confusion. Remembering what happened last night, she pouted again.

Seeing this, the train conductor quickly took his leave, asking Qiao Muting before leaving, "We'll arrive at the station in three or four hours. Should we notify the medical personnel to pick us up in advance?"

“I’m fine now. My friend will come to pick us up. Thank you.”

"When we arrive at the station, you don't need to rush to get off. I'll have him get on the train and pick you up."

"good."

Qiao Muting was physically in the private room, but his mind had already wandered far away.

He slept fitfully that night, dreaming of a grand drama unfolding before him, each scene and frame thrilling him.

The brain becomes extremely fatigued due to working overtime.

The image of the "little white rabbit," wearing soaking wet pajamas, kneeling on the ground trying to "rescue" herself, is forever etched in my mind.

She was both innocent and alluring, yet completely unaware of it.

It turns out that she not only has stunning looks, but also a great figure...

Last night, she did indeed set herself on fire with ease.

She probably didn't realize that he had already treasured her image, completely soaked, in his heart like a photograph.

Countless times, he recalled the scene in his mind, examined it carefully, and savored it.

He seemed to suddenly realize something and stopped smiling!

What on earth happened?!

Vulgar and obscene!

But to his utter surprise, since their parting last night, he had not been able to find the other person again until he arrived in the new city.

Find carriage number 1 from carriage number 1, and then find carriage number 1 from carriage number 1.

The "little white rabbit" seemed to have vanished into thin air.

...

What happened that night also kept Qian Lai tossing and turning all night.

The repeated recollection made her face flush.

After a long while, she calmed down a little, looked up at the ceiling, and wondered: Why did this space suddenly "take it upon itself" to throw her out?

Could it be that the hot spring's cries triggered some hidden mechanism?

But he was just a stranger, a child who simply liked him a little more than others.

Did space assign itself some kind of mission?

And last night, protecting the hot springs was the task that space gave itself?

What exactly is the connection between myself and hot springs?

Just as she was in a daze and couldn't think of an answer, a man's voice suddenly rang in her ears.

[Congratulations on completing the mission! Progress bar advanced 10%. Upon reaching 100%, the character will receive 100 million RMB in cash and return to the real world!]

You can go home as long as you complete the task!?

Qian Lai was overjoyed!
