In the last moment before she was woken up, she saw Qi Sheng slowly turn his head, his face still wet with tears.
His eyes were empty and lifeless, making him look like an overly exquisite doll.
Gu Luoqi's heart pounded with anxiety. She was heartbroken because she couldn't help him.
"Host, what did you dream about?" The system's voice was cautiously probing.
“I dreamt that Qi Sheng was locked in a dilapidated little dark room…” Gu Luoxi’s voice trembled slightly, and her expression was empty.
"That was just a dream," the system tried to calm her down.
It discovered that she was currently in a state of emotional breakdown.
When her emotions fluctuate too much, exceeding the normal range, she may become mentally unstable.
If she becomes mentally challenged, who will she learn from?
"No, you don't understand." The dream was too real, making her feel that Qi Sheng was blaming her for not saving him.
"It must be because of that painting," the system said with certainty. It had felt the painting was too gloomy and not at all positive or uplifting.
"Maybe." Gu Luoqi seemed a little absent-minded.
"You should rest first," the system comforted you. "I'll always be with you," it added.
Gu Luoqi was slightly touched by its words, but she still didn't want to lie down anymore. "I'm going downstairs to read for a while."
After saying that, she got up without any hesitation.
The system was stunned for a moment, but after observing that there was nothing else unusual, it let her be.
Although Gu Luoqi opened the book and laid it out, she couldn't concentrate at all. It wasn't that she was sleepy, but that she kept thinking about that matter.
She took out the painting that Qi Sheng had given her once again, her gaze falling on it, her expression somewhat dejected.
She pointed a slender, pale finger to a spot on the apartment building in the painting. "If my intuition is correct, Qi Sheng's family should live here," she murmured.
"How do you know?" the system asked, skeptical of her words.
It was just a dream, but now it can even pinpoint the exact location.
Gu Luoxi didn't answer. Actually, she didn't know either. Although she had been in Qi Sheng's dark and damp little room, she always felt that they were in this place.
It's actually quite mysterious.
The system said seriously, "Throw this painting away. Having this painting makes the host act strangely all the time."
It's better to just throw it away. Anyway, Qi Sheng doesn't know, so what's there to be embarrassed about?
"No way." Gu Luoqi refused without even thinking.
The system didn't say anything more, sighing at the stubborn people.
Gu Luoqi remained in a daze until Qi Sheng came to call her.
When she saw Qi Sheng standing safely outside the door, she felt as if she had been transported to another world.
"What's wrong?" Qi Sheng's long eyelashes fluttered twice, not quite understanding her current state.
What was that just now? He seemed relieved.
"No..." Gu Luoqi's eyes darted around, she was a little afraid to look directly into his handsome eyes.
"You don't look like you slept very well last night." Qi Sheng's eyes curved slightly, with a hint of teasing in them.
Gu Luoqi was different from yesterday's excited self. "Yes, it's not good." She looked very serious.
"Why?" Qi Sheng asked, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Gu Luoqi looked up at him, her face expressionless. "I dreamt about you yesterday."
Qi Sheng noticed that she seemed a little sad. "What did you dream about me about?" he asked gently.
Gu Luoqi looked at the faint smile on his face, as if encouraged, and said in a deep voice, "I dreamed that you were crying in bed when you were a child."
Qi Sheng looked up, but seeing that she wasn't joking, she said, "It was just a dream."
"Wait a minute, I'm going to get something." Seeing that he didn't quite believe her, Gu Luoqi hurriedly ran into the room.
"Is this where you live?" She returned, holding the painting with a somewhat anxious expression.
Qi Sheng looked at the conspicuous red circle on the painting; it was clearly the work of the person in front of him.
His eyes flickered a few times. "No."
Gu Luoxi noticed his unusual behavior and was about to speak when she saw a thin layer of sadness welling up in his eyes.
This left her unsure whether she was dreaming or in reality. "System, system! Are you there?" she cried out in terror.
"Hey! What's wrong with you?" The system sensed her huge emotional fluctuations once again.
Hearing the system's voice instantly reassured Gu Luoxi, but she was still uneasy. "Am I dreaming?"
"Host, you're perfectly fine now."
What a joke! How could anyone daydream like that?
Gu Luoqi thought for a moment and realized that this was not scientific. What if she realized she was dreaming in her dream?
And what if the system was also something she imagined...?
It's terrifying to even think about.
"No, host, you have to believe me." The system's voice was urgent. Everything was fine before, so why were its emotions fluctuating so much?
"Quiet down first!"
Gu Luoxi felt she couldn't speak anymore, and her head was getting increasingly dizzy.
Then her consciousness became increasingly blurred, and before she closed her eyes, she felt Qi Sheng quickly come over and support her.
[Ding—Host's emotions are fluctuating too much, posing a risk of collapse. Forced into a state of dormancy—]
When Gu Luoxi woke up again, she found Qi Sheng sitting next to her playing on his phone, and there was a smell of disinfectant in the air.
This smell was all too familiar to her; she should be in the hospital right now.
"You're awake?" Qi Sheng had already noticed her movements.
"I..." Gu Luoqi was a little confused. How did she end up in the hospital as soon as she woke up?
"The doctor said you fainted because of excessive stress," Qi Sheng explained calmly.
He didn't tell her that the doctor couldn't explain why she suddenly fainted, and that no problems could be found in the examination.
"I'm under too much pressure? System, am I alright?" Gu Luoqi herself didn't believe what she said.
And could the pressure make her faint?
Oh my god, don't scare her.
"Host, you're perfectly healthy. You're probably just under a lot of stress." The system quickly laughed it off when it saw that she couldn't remember her previous panic.
It just forcibly activated the emergency program to clear her of unnecessary panic, which is why she suddenly fainted.
Of course, it couldn't say that to her.
"That must be because you put too much pressure on me," Gu Luoqi said angrily.
If this guy hadn't been forcing her to study every day, would she be like this?
"Hmph, you're being unreasonable." The system refused to communicate with her again.
But seeing that she has returned to normal makes it quite happy.
"Drink some water." Qi Sheng handed her a glass of warm water.
He had just noticed that her voice was a little hoarse.
"Oh, thank you." Gu Luoqi felt a little uncomfortable with Qi Sheng's understanding nature.
"Uncle went to pay the money," Qi Sheng said casually as he saw her looking around.
"Oh, I see." Gu Luoqi, who had just regained consciousness, looked somewhat bewildered.
She knew it; she couldn't possibly be so miserable with only Qi Sheng by her side.
