Chapter 7

Su Wenxing touched his forehead, then looked up at Qin Lian.

"Why don't you give me another kiss? I didn't even feel it."

Qin Lian glanced at him. "What are you trying to feel? You expect to have some pleasant memories after being kissed on the forehead by a grown man?"

"That's not how you put it. Even if we were both men..."

Before Su Wenxing could continue rambling, Qin Lian started the car again.

Qin Lian: "Alright, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Su Wenxing has a sensitive stomach, so she must eat on time.

As for the house, he can tell them after they finish dinner.

The two found a restaurant nearby and had a simple dinner.

On the way back, Qin Lian talked to Su Wenxing about looking at houses.

After hearing about the four houses, Su Wenxing watched the house videos that the real estate agent had sent to Qin Lian on Qin Lian's phone.

Su Wenxing also took a liking to the fourth apartment, because it was on the top floor and would offer better privacy.

Also, Su Wenxing is afraid of noise and lives on the first or second floor. If there are unruly children upstairs, she will definitely suffer a lot in the future.

"I want the top floor, so I can ride a bicycle or an electric scooter to school."

The fourth house is not far from the school, making it convenient to go to and from school by bike.

As for driving?

Su Wenxing doesn't have a driver's license yet, so driving long distances would be more convenient, but short distances would be a bit troublesome.

In addition, since he was going to live with Qin Lian, he could sometimes hitch a ride with Qin Lian, so there was no need for him to drive himself.

“Okay, I’ll get the paperwork done in the next few days. Once we’ve bought the house, we’ll move in as soon as possible.”

For the next two or three days, Qin Lian was very busy with the house purchase.

Su Wenxing had a new task and didn't feel comfortable bothering him.

The paperwork for the house wasn't finished until Tuesday of the following week. By then, Su Wenxing had caught a cold from being caught in the rain.

Everyone in the dormitory had gone to class, leaving Su Wenxing alone in the dormitory to suffer.

Su Wenxing looked at her health points, which had been rising with great effort, and saw them drop by two points due to this cold. She felt so distressed that she could hardly breathe.

He glanced at the newly released mission from the system and decided to summon Qin Lian first.

Qin Lian arrived quickly after receiving his call and reached out to touch Su Wenxing's slightly feverish forehead.

"How did you suddenly catch a cold?"

"It drizzled a little yesterday afternoon, and I accidentally got my hair wet. I thought I could wash my hair when I got back, and it would be fine in this hot weather, but I ended up catching a cold."

At this point, Su Wenxing felt a little aggrieved.

He coughed and said to Qin Lian with discomfort, "My health points, which I painstakingly accumulated, have now dropped from twelve to ten."

Qin Lian: "What's the new mission?"

Upon hearing this, Su Wenxing glanced at the panel and said, "This is the last beginner mission. This time, the mission is to let us kiss."

Qin Lian frowned. "Where should I kiss you?"

Last time it was a kiss on the forehead, this time it definitely won't be that simple.

Su Wenxing said a little guiltily, "Kiss...kiss on the lips."

Qin Lian looked enlightened upon hearing this. He first closed his eyes tightly, and then tried to lean over and kiss Su Wenxing.

Seeing this, Su Wenxing quickly said, "Wait, they're about to finish class, let's go somewhere else."

It's best if two grown men don't get caught kissing.

Afterwards, the two left Su Wenxing's dormitory together. Qin Lian had just gotten the house key today, so he thought he might as well take Su Wenxing to the house.

That's their territory, and it's the top floor of a relatively high building, so the privacy is quite good.

On the way, Su Wenxing thought of how Qin Lian had tried to kiss him without hesitation back in the dormitory, and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Why were you so direct just now? You didn't even hesitate. This time it was a kiss on the lips, not a kiss on the forehead. Didn't you feel uncomfortable?"

After all, they are all grown men, and they are also childhood friends with a very good relationship.

“My discomfort was only momentary, but your discomfort was constant. At the time, I was thinking that since you weren't feeling well, we should finish the mission as soon as possible so that you would feel better. I didn't think much about it.”

This is the truth; I saw Su Wenxing's face was pale at the time.

Considering all his health problems, Qin Lian was worried that a minor cold might trigger his heart condition.

If Qin Lian is the only student at the school at that time, it would be very dangerous if Su Wenxing suddenly fell ill.

Compared to personal chastity, Qin Lian cared more about Su Wenxing's life.

Hearing that Qin Lian was constantly worried about his health, Su Wenxing couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

Sure enough, he made the right choice in targeting his childhood friend.

Only his childhood friend Qin Lian would be willing to help him regardless of any consequences.

The two arrived at the house. Before Su Wenxing could even take a look around the new home, she pulled Qin Lian into the living room and completed the task.

Qin Lian obediently let Su Wenxing pull him along. Su Wenxing originally wanted to learn Qin Lian's "decisive and efficient" manner from last time, but unexpectedly, because of his poor physical condition, a small accident occurred when they kissed.

The little accident happened when he grabbed Qin Lian's collar and kissed her; he felt dizzy and almost lost his balance and fell backward.

Fortunately, Qin Lian reacted quickly and caught him with his large arm, preventing him from falling.

Su Wenxing looked terrified and instinctively reached out to wrap her arms around Qin Lian's neck.

So when they finally stood still, they realized that they were being unusually affectionate.

Like... a young couple who have just finished kissing and are now happily embracing each other.

Qin Lian was startled by his own imagination and quickly put the person in his arms on the sofa next to him.

The house was transferred on Sunday. Since it was a second-hand house, it didn't need any renovations; all that was needed was to buy some new furniture.

Yesterday, Monday, Qin Lian hired a cleaning service to clean his home.

Qin Lian bought the sofa yesterday afternoon at a nearby shopping mall.

There are still quite a few things missing from the house, and I estimate that we will need to gradually add them later.

After Su Wenxing sat down, he touched his mouth as he received the mission reward.

Su Wenxing: "Hehe, this time there are five points, the system is quite generous."

He didn't chuckle for long before realizing that the beginner period was over and the tasks that followed would be much more difficult, so he couldn't keep laughing.

Su Wenxing's health value is now 15 points, which is much higher than the previous 5 points, making him feel inexplicably more at ease.

Su Wenxing looked at Qin Lian, "Then when are we moving in?"

Qin Lian: "It'll be in the next few days. I'll apply to the school for off-campus accommodation for you tomorrow. Once the school approves, you can move in."

Qin Lian is easy to deal with; he can move anytime he wants.

A top student like him has always been a favorite of his teachers.

As long as he doesn't do anything too outrageous, the school usually won't interfere with him much.

"That's great. I didn't want to stay in the dorm anymore anyway. Someone in my dorm snores, so I can't sleep well at night."

Not getting enough rest can gradually wear down his body, which is definitely not a good thing for him.

After completing the task, Qin Lian took Su Wenxing to the hospital.

Although it was just a minor cold, Su Wenxing's physical condition was quite troublesome, and even a minor cold could be dangerous for him.

When the two arrived at the hospital, the doctor, upon hearing about Su Wenxing's condition, wanted to admit her to the hospital.

It's not that the doctor is exaggerating; Su Wenxing's problem is really tricky and dangerous.

Su Wenxing knew the doctor meant well, but in the end she still firmly refused.

His health problems are beyond the reach of current medical technology.

Su Wenxing's family is very wealthy, and her parents have extensive connections.

His illness has been treated by many skilled doctors since he was a child, but none of them could cure it.

Now, he can only survive by relying on the system; no one else can save him.

Of course, he couldn't tell anyone else about this.

Because Su Wenxing insisted on leaving, Qin Lian had no choice but to take him away from the hospital.

Su Wenxing said, "Qin Lian, even if the Succubus System becomes useless to me one day, I don't want to spend my last days in the hospital."

The place he had been to most often since childhood was the hospital. Even though the doctors and nurses he had met were all very kind and gentle, he still didn't want to die in the hospital in the end.

Qin Lian nodded upon hearing this; he understood Su Wenxing's feelings.

If Su Wenxing really is going to die, he will accompany Su Wenxing out for a walk, anywhere is fine, he just wants to take him out to see the world.

The next day, Qin Lian went to help Su Wenxing apply to the school for off-campus accommodation.

Initially, the school leaders disagreed. In their view, students should stay at school. If they were unwell, their classmates could take care of them. Living off-campus was not as safe as living at school.

Later, it was learned that Su Wenxing had heart disease and a genetic disorder, and that he might die any day now.

The school was very worried about taking responsibility, so they had Qin Lian and Su Wenxing sign a guarantee that they would assume full responsibility before they agreed to let Su Wenxing live off-campus in the future.

As long as Su Wenxing's life or death is none of their concern, Su Wenxing can live off-campus if she wants.

To be honest, if they had known earlier that Su Wenxing's health condition was so serious, their school would not have recommended admitting him.

Even if a student dies on campus due to illness, it can still cause a lot of public relations problems for the school.

Su Wenxing's health is so poor, I don't know how the admissions office managed to recruit him?

...

After obtaining the school's permission, Qin Lian took Su Qinyue to Su Wenxing's dormitory that evening, and the two of them helped Su Wenxing move his things.

Su Qinyue also shares the surname Su, so she feels an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Su Wenxing.

He felt that Su Wenxing was like a cute little brother, someone from their old Su family.

He is older than Su Wenxing, so it is only right that he should take good care of him.

So when helping Su Wenxing move things, Su Qinyue was always very diligent.

At this time, Su Wenxing's cold was much better than yesterday.

However, he still felt very tired, so Qin Lian let him sit in the car first, and left the rest to him and Su Qinyue.
