Chapter 35 Heart Rate Value
"Don't worry." He picked up the black one and tapped the dial lightly. The screen suddenly lit up with a pale pink light. "Its function is very simple. You can choose a person to bind it to, and that person can sense your heartbeat in real time."
Wen Nianchu stared at his watch and didn't react for a moment:
"Heartbeat?"
"Yeah, it's that 'bang, bang, bang' sound. Once your heartbeat speeds up, it means you're in danger, and the other party can sense it and come to rescue you." The boy gestured exaggeratedly, a sly glint in his eyes. "Well, isn't it much more interesting than a bulletproof vest?"
Wen Nianchu: “…”
She didn't think that the bulletproof vest gave her a greater sense of security than the heart-beating watch.
Unfortunately, bulletproof vests are prohibited in China, and she didn't even have the chance to touch one.
Wen Nianchu smacked his lips and directly put the watch on.
The dial pointer suddenly began to spin wildly.
The "Good Goods Selection" shop that was just in front of my eyes disappeared in an instant as if it was erased by an eraser, leaving only endless blank space around it.
This surreal scene should have been creepy, but she only raised an eyebrow.
After all, even the outrageous setting of "rebirth through a book + system cheat" fell on his head——
I'm afraid that even the most imaginative novelist in China today cannot write a script as absurd as what she is experiencing.
[Host, turn on the watch. Please hand the other watch to the villain Xie Yue within half an hour and have him wear it. If you are unsuccessful, there may be side effects on the system.]
Wen Nianchu was silent:
"Is this the way you said you could guarantee my safety?"
"Why do I feel like I've been set up?"
She took out her cell phone, paused her index finger on the address book for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth and typed it down.
When the call was connected, the young man's cold voice came from the receiver:
"Hello."
"You haven't gone far, have you?" Wen Nianchu's voice softened a bit. After all, he was asking someone for a favor.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and the sound of breathing was clearly audible.
"Come over now." She paused, then added softly, "I really need you, Xie Yue."
"Where are you?"
"The second floor of Guangguang Building." Wen Nianchu said.
"Um."
Wen Nianchu looked at the countdown on the system panel and thought that he might as well go find him to save some time.
"Where are you now?" she suddenly asked. "How about you take a taxi and I'll give you the fare?"
"No need." His voice remained calm. "A few minutes."
Sure enough, within five minutes, the familiar figure appeared at the end of the corridor. The boy's expression was calm, and his steps were neither hurried nor slow. However, the pink paper bag with cartoon animal images printed on it in his hand was particularly eye-catching.
He walked straight up to her and handed the bag forward:
"For you."
The paper bag made a slight rustling sound, and I could faintly smell a sweet fragrance coming from inside.
After Wen Nianchu handed him the umbrella, a system prompt sounded in Xie Yue's mind.
Please spend at least NT$800 for Wen Nianchu, and the designated item is her favorite limited edition cake.
It was like going back to the time before liberation. When Xie Yue was a child in Huangdai, his salary was only 1,000 yuan.
Now the system asks him to spend most of the money he has. Just as he expected, this strange system is gradually increasing the amount. The first time it was a few dollars, the second time it was dozens of dollars, and now it has soared to thousands. Will it be tens of thousands, tens of millions, and then hundreds of millions?
He still had to find a way to escape the system.
"For me?"
Wen Nianchu was obviously stunned. She hesitantly took the pink paper bag with cartoon patterns on it and asked, "How do you know I like their cakes?"
She suddenly fell silent, as if realizing she had let the cat out of the bag.
Wen Nianchu's personality is actually a bit twisted and awkward. She won't easily reveal her preferences to others. This means that even her good friends in her previous life don't know what she likes after they die.
Thinking of this, Wen Nianchu's long eyelashes drooped, casting a shadow on her face. When she raised her eyes again, the surprise she had just felt was perfectly hidden, leaving only a formal smile hanging at the corner of her mouth.
"That's perfect. I have something to give you too." Wen Nianchu took out an exquisite watch box from his bag and breathed a sigh of relief. He finally found the opportunity to give the watch away.
She handed the watch with the white strap to Xie Yue, and quietly held the black one in her palm.
It’s not that she is particularly considerate, she simply thinks black suits her outfit better today.
Xie Yue lowered his eyes and took it. He stroked the dial with his fingertips. From the delicate metal texture, he could tell that the workmanship of this watch was obviously very valuable, but there was no brand logo on it, as if... it was specially customized.
"This watch..."
Before he could finish his words, Wen Nianchu suddenly and forcefully grabbed his wrist. With her other hand, she placed the watch strap on his pulse.
Xie Yue was stunned, and a little blush appeared on his ears.
Wen Nianchu...touched his wrist?
Xie Yue lowered his head to look at her seriously. He didn't know if it was because she was flustered or for some other reason, but she couldn't align the clasp several times.
Wen Nianchu was so anxious that he bit his lower lip, leaving a shallow tooth mark on his lips.
His eyes dropped to his lips, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and his wrist moved accordingly.
"Don't move..." She looked up at Xie Yue fiercely, then lowered her head again.
In her two lives, this was the first time that Miss Wen had given someone a watch.
Xie Yue should be so lucky that he can enjoy the watch-matching service of Miss Wen.
*
Xie Yue's eyes were glued to her and he couldn't move them away.
She was too close.
Close enough to smell the faint scent of jasmine in her hair, close enough to see her lower lip bitten in concentration. When she looked up and glared at him just now, her hair swayed slightly with the movement, and now a few strands fell playfully, brushing against his wrist, stirring a tingling sensation.
"I've put it on." Wen Nianchu sighed, and the tension he had just felt relaxed instantly.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully binding the target: Xie Yue]
Xie Yue looked at the watch on his wrist.
It was clearly only a minute or two, but he felt as if a century had passed. He even strangely wanted these few minutes to last longer, so long that they would never stop.
What's wrong with him?
He could even feel his heart rate accelerating, and then the "boom, boom, boom" sound became louder and louder in his mind.
But Xie Yue's eyes also looked at the screen after the watch was locked.
On the screen, there is a red heart with a number displayed inside it.
Although electronic products are not well developed in China, he has seen this line graph in the hospital, which should represent heart rate.
80, 78, 75......
Why... is my heart rate getting lower and lower?
