What exactly do you want?

Gu Qingqiu was questioned by System 057 as soon as she was teleported back to the standby space station.

"Don't be angry, why are you angry?" Gu Qingqiu provocatively said, "If you don't like me, you can send me to the punishment world. Why are you being so lenient with me?"

[...]

"Hurry up, hurry up, the next world!" Gu Qingqiu patted the chair excitedly. "I think being able to sleep with different handsome guys in different worlds is just too wonderful."

Don't push your luck, or I can send you to the punishment world right now!

"Okay, okay, go ahead and teleport." Gu Qingqiu acted as if she had nothing to lose.

It's unclear whether System 057 was genuinely angry or had actually sent her to the punishment world.

Gu Qingqiu clearly felt that she had changed to another space, but it was pitch black in front of her. She blinked hard and then waved her palm in front of her eyes.

There is no sense of light.

"Is anyone there?" Gu Qingqiu called out.

There was no response.

Seriously, they just gave her a blind persona from the start, and now they're not even transmitting the world background anymore, it's outrageous.

Gu Qingqiu stood up nonchalantly and took a few steps, then, as expected, bumped into something and fell heavily to the ground, with what sounded like porcelain shattering.

A woman's panicked voice came from afar: "Xiao Qiu! Why didn't you call me again?"

Gu Qingqiu felt herself being gently and carefully helped back to bed. The woman carefully checked her body for any signs of injury, and when she saw the bruises, she murmured a few words of heartache.

"Mom?" Gu Qingqiu tentatively guessed the other person's identity.

To her surprise, the woman gasped, "Xiao Qiu, what happened to you? Did you hurt your head? Where did you fall again? Are you feeling unwell?"

Oh, it's not my mother. Then judging from the voice, it must be a maid or caregiver? I'm probably in my room or at the hospital right now?

But there was no smell of disinfectant around, so it might be a high-end room?

"Where's my mom?" Gu Qingqiu asked her.

The woman stammered for a while before finally saying, "Xiao Qiu, your brother will come to see you after he gets off work."

"Oh." Gu Qingqiu responded quietly, sitting on the bed. She roughly understood why System 057 had arranged this world for her. Because she couldn't see, she had no way to find a sharp weapon to hurt herself and leave, right? And she guessed that no one would put anything dangerous in her room.

But does it think that it has no other way out?

Losing one's sight would be devastating for many people, but it was nothing to Gu Qingqiu.

Having gone through so many things and hardships, losing her sight is nothing. Although she hadn't lost her sight before, she had spent a long time in a pitch-black cave.

However, after cleaning the floor, the woman thoughtfully sat down next to Gu Qingqiu and told her a story. Perhaps the word "Mom" startled her, and she felt that Gu Qingqiu's mental state was worrying and needed companionship.

About an hour or two later, the door to the room was pushed open again, and the woman said respectfully, "You've arrived."

The man did something, and the woman went out, thoughtfully closing the door behind her.

Gu Qingqiu tentatively asked again, "Brother?"

“…Hmm.” The man moved closer, and Gu Qingqiu seemed to smell a faint scent of cigarettes on him.

Gu Qingqiu smiled sweetly in the direction of the voice, "Brother, come a little closer, I want to hug you."

The man approached cooperatively, and Gu Qingqiu reached out and successfully wrapped her arms around his waist.

She held him quietly for a while, her body not leaving his side, but her hand moved upwards to touch the man's cheek.

"What's wrong?" The man's voice sounded utterly helpless.

Gu Qingqiu didn't answer, but abruptly kissed the man's lips.

The man was stunned for two seconds, then forcefully shoved Gu Qingqiu away and roared, "Are you crazy? I'm your brother!"

Fortunately, there was a soft mattress behind Gu Qingqiu, otherwise she would have fallen again.

"Really?" Gu Qingqiu tilted her head, revealing an innocent expression. "Are you really my brother?"

She was just testing the waters, but to her surprise, the man fell silent for a moment, his breathing becoming heavier. He squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Of course I am! I heard about what happened today. What tricks are you playing?"

Gu Qingqiu clicked her tongue twice in her mind and negotiated with the male protagonist system in her sea of ​​consciousness: "Are you really not going to send me this punishment world plot? Then I'll have to improvise."

[...He's not your biological brother; you were adopted. He's only a year younger than your brother. For your mental and physical well-being, your parents kept it a secret from you and your brother. However, you both developed feelings for each other, but because of your blood relation, you never spoke of it. Your brother only became suspicious when he accidentally saw your blood type during your hospitalization. He secretly took a hair sample for a DNA test, and the results aren't back yet.]

Perhaps angered by Gu Qingqiu, System 057 spoke at double speed, and Gu Qingqiu could even detect a hint of exasperation in its voice.

"Pseudo-orthopedics? That's so exciting, they really know how to play."

Despite saying this, Gu Qingqiu reached out her arms towards where her brother had been standing: "Brother, what are you doing? Can you hug me? I was wrong, I won't do it again, but I really like you..."

"Enough! Stop talking!" The older brother paced around the ward, seemingly agitated. In the end, he actually went up and hugged Gu Qingqiu, but before Gu Qingqiu could react, he pulled back a few steps. "I... I have a dinner party tonight, I'm leaving now. Don't call me if anything happens, we can talk about it tomorrow."

If Gu Qingqiu could see it, she would be able to sense the meaning behind her brother's hasty retreat.

Even if you can't see it, you can guess. Gu Qingqiu chuckled to herself for a while, "System brother, I want to buy props."

System 057: […Speak properly.]

"Oh." Gu Qingqiu said something surprising: "Then buy me a strong sleeping potion. I'll let my brother use it when I have the chance."

System 057: [Are you crazy?]

Gu Qingqiu felt that the system's tone sounded familiar, but she quickly realized that her brother had asked the same question earlier.

"Oh? Is there a problem? Isn't this just to complete the mission? Does punishing the world mean I don't have to be close to the male lead? Aren't you happy that I'm completing the mission? Do you have to dictate how the host completes the mission?"

The barrage of questions seemed to stump System 057; it fell silent and, of course, didn't buy any more props for Gu Qingqiu.

"It's alright." Gu Qingqiu shrugged. "If you don't create the conditions for me, I'll create them myself."

She held out her palm, and there it was, a shard of porcelain, in her hand. "Do you think this thing is sharp enough? Can it cut my delicate skin?"
