"At least three days, otherwise forget it." Gu Luoqi seized the opportunity to climb up the ladder.
"Just three days, don't even think about anything else," the system said coldly.
"Alright, three days is fine too." Gu Luoqi knew when to stop; she wasn't that ungrateful.
"No, I'm so sleepy, I need to sleep." She lay on the bed in a "spread-eagle" position.
"Go to sleep." The system's tone softened.
It knew that, given her current state, falling asleep was the best option.
She slept for a long time until the system woke her up. She stretched and felt much better.
"Host, Qi Sheng is calling you for dinner."
The system usually manages her phone, ensuring she doesn't miss important messages while focusing on her studies.
"We can eat again so soon?" Gu Luoqi felt a little excited. The breakfast she had eaten was too bland and didn't suit her taste at all.
She tidied herself up so she wouldn't look so disheveled before going out. She felt much better than before; although she wasn't as agile as usual, she didn't need anyone's help.
She strolled leisurely to the kitchen and found Qi Sheng still busy at work. "Aren't they coming back?"
"Yeah, I might not be finished yet." Qi Sheng had already sensed her arrival, but he didn't turn around.
Watching the interaction between the two, the system inexplicably felt a sense of peace and tranquility.
An illusion, it thought to itself.
"Oh, I see." Gu Luoqi indicated that she understood.
"Let's eat." Qi Sheng brought over the rice.
Gu Luoqi was somewhat flattered and quickly accepted it.
She glanced at the dishes on the table, somewhat disappointed. After all, she was a carnivore, and it would be strange if she felt good looking at bland and tasteless food.
"This is all you can eat for now," Qi Sheng said quietly, revealing the truth.
"Eating a little bit should be fine, right?" Gu Luoqi knew she was in the wrong and her voice softened a bit.
"Eating it tomorrow shouldn't kill you, right?" Qi Sheng's gaze was clearly gentle, but Gu Luoqi always felt that it carried a strange murderous intent.
She chuckled dryly, "I won't die, I won't die..." and then obediently lowered her head to eat the rice in her bowl.
She silently comforted herself, thinking that it was already kind of Qi Sheng to cook for her. There was no need for her to be so demanding.
Actually, her personality is a little bit annoying.
She slowly ate it and suddenly felt that it tasted pretty good.
Qi Sheng was quite pleased with her as she began to devour the food with great satisfaction. Seeing that she had become more well-behaved, he was even more pleased.
Actually, he felt that she wasn't so annoying if she didn't talk.
"By the way, let's go to school tomorrow afternoon." Gu Luoqi tentatively concluded that she would probably have to go back with him tomorrow because her father was too busy to take them.
Now that the system has given her a "vacation," she should relax at home. At the very least, she should sleep in. Is that too much to ask?
Of course, we should ask Qi Sheng about this, since he has such good grades and it wouldn't be good for her to hold him back.
Although she felt that one day wouldn't take up much time.
To her surprise, Qi Sheng readily agreed, "Okay."
She suddenly felt a little horrified looking at Qi Sheng, who was so obedient to her.
Is she living in a dream?
"Host, you don't have any strange fetishes, do you?" the system said with a hint of suspicion.
For example, she might enjoy being challenged or have masochistic tendencies.
Gu Luoqi understood immediately, her face darkening slightly. "How could that be?" She just felt a little uncomfortable, that was all.
After the meal, due to her health condition, she successfully slacked off.
She collapsed onto the bed, rubbing her round belly. "I just want to be a mindless ornament." Eating my fill and lying in bed every day would be so blissful.
"Unfortunately, you can't. A person still needs to have ideals," the system said coldly.
It knew that, given her personality, she wouldn't be able to stay like this every day.
"Yes, yes, I have ideals," Gu Luoqi replied listlessly.
Let her talk about ideals and such in three days; right now, she just wants to be down and lethargic.
After that, Mr. Gu came to see her once to make sure she was alright, gave her a few words of advice, and then went back to his work.
Just as she expected, she would have to go to school with Qi Sheng tomorrow.
"Host, it's time to sleep." The system saw that it was time and couldn't let her continue playing.
"System, goodnight." Gu Luoqi watched a few episodes of a TV show that she had always wanted to watch but never had time for, and lay down on the bed contentedly.
Anyway, she has three days off, so there's no rush.
She probably didn't even realize how easily satisfied she was now.
However, when she tried to calm down and sleep, she found that she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
It could also be because you slept too much during the day.
She went through all her memories from her lifetime but still couldn't sleep; instead, she became increasingly awake.
She'll be an adult soon, and I'm actually quite excited about it.
After all, these are days I didn't cherish in my past life, so looking back, I still miss them quite a bit.
Putting aside any talk of coming-of-age ceremonies, there should at least be some sense of ritual.
Wait… she seemed to remember a question.
When Qi Sheng first arrived at their home, it happened to be around her birthday time.
He seemed to have told her that their birthdays were on the same day...
"System, it's over, Qi Sheng's birthday is the same day as mine." Her voice rose a few decibels.
"Then you two are quite destined to meet." The system didn't say much.
As an artificial intelligence system, it is not very good at understanding people's obsession with birthdays, nor can it understand the sense of ritual they talk about.
"Should I send something as a gift?" Gu Luoqi asked thoughtfully.
In her memory, Qi Sheng never seemed to have a birthday.
And neither Dad nor Aunt Qi mentioned it. Is it because they don't know?
It feels very strange.
"It's not impossible, after all, they took care of you for so long today," the system said calmly.
“Hmm, what you said makes some sense,” Gu Luoqi agreed.
But what to give as a gift is a serious question.
It seems like he doesn't lack anything.
Thinking about Qi Sheng, she suddenly realized something.
What about her paintings?
It was that painting that Qi Sheng gave her.
It seems she was still holding the painting when she fainted. Logically, even if it fell, it should have been on the ground, but there was no trace of it when she returned.
"Have you seen my painting?" she asked the system anxiously.
Anyway, she fainted, but the system didn't.
"I didn't see it." The system's tone remained unchanged.
But it lied; it clearly remembered that Qi Sheng picked up the painting.
But this stuff is harmful to the host, so it's fine if we don't have it.
Protecting the host's mental health is also one of its tasks, and it doesn't feel it's going too far.
"Okay." Gu Luoxi was a little down. She felt empty inside, even though it was just a painting.
Never mind, I'll ask Qi Sheng tomorrow.
She slowly drifted off to sleep with this strange feeling in her heart.
