The school beauty's four boyfriends 28
After examination, it was found that Qi An'an only had a mild concussion and a fractured right hand; Xiao Hei repaired all the other fatal injuries.
Everyone found it amazing; even the strongest person couldn't withstand that fall, so her injury was relatively minor.
On the contrary, Yan Xingcun fell into a coma for unknown reasons. All the doctors were focused on him, but they could not find any problems.
After Qi An'an woke up, she tried to call out to Xiao Hei, but received no response.
One night, Yan Xingcun suddenly woke up and ran to her hospital room.
"I dreamt that you were calling me."
Yan Xingcun didn't know how long he had slept, but his mind was much clearer when he woke up.
He bent down and embraced her, burying his face in her neck. Only when he smelled her familiar scent did his wandering heart feel at peace.
He loved being with her so much.
It was as if they had been embracing each other so closely for countless long years.
No one can live without the other.
Qi An'an nuzzled his neck and patted his back with her uninjured left hand, "Are you alright? You were unconscious for three days."
Yan Xingcun was slightly surprised and looked up at her. "I thought I had just taken a nap. Maybe I was too tired."
Qi An'an asked, "Is there anything wrong with your body?"
Yan Xingcun shook his head and began to examine her arm. "What did the doctor say?"
As he spoke, his tall frame carefully squeezed onto the hospital bed, then pulled her into his arms.
"It's just a fracture, it'll heal quickly, much less serious than yours last time." She paused and then said, "Guangyao was drugged and ran into the mountains, but he was found today, thankfully he's alright."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xingcun's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Um."
That wasn't what Yan Xingcun cared about most.
He knew who had tampered with Guangyao's scheme.
In conclusion, she suffered this great torment because of him.
He whispered in her ear, "An'an, Ji Yu is acting strangely. Don't go near him."
The warm breath gently wafted over, making her hair tingle.
Ji Yu had said something similar to Qi An'an just yesterday.
Ji Yu said, "Yan Xingcun is very strange. Don't be fooled by him."
“Okay.” Qi An’an looked at the ceiling and asked, “Do you suspect that Ji Yu was the one who drugged Guangyao?”
"Yes, he's always been targeting me."
Qi An'an pressed further, "Why?"
Yan Xingcun glanced at her.
Qi An'an pointed to herself, looking quite innocent, "Because of me? But I don't think... it's that bad. Don't you feel like he's become a different person?"
Yan Xingcun remained silent, thinking about every detail after she fell into a coma, that little black ball, those red lines that spread from his body, was it just his imagination?
But he didn't know how to describe it to her, which only added to his troubles.
Yan Xingcun's thin lips came to her cheek, his low, husky voice filled with longing and affection, "An'an, give me a kiss, okay?"
She turned her head slightly and gently touched the corner of his mouth.
That wasn't enough. Yan Xingcun stroked her cheek and kissed her lips.
After a long pause, he stopped and asked in a somber tone, "An'an, are you just giving me the runaround..."
Qi An'an glanced at her hand and reminded her, "I'm injured."
"It's all because of me." Yan Xingcun's eyes darkened. He lowered his head and carefully placed a kiss on her lips.
Qi An'an reminded him, "Then you have to be careful."
"Mmm." He gently embraced her, showing no intention of leaving. "Go to sleep."
Qi An'an found a comfortable position and rested her head on his arm. "You should sleep too, and get some rest."
Yan Xingcun was truly exhausted; he fell into a deep sleep almost immediately after closing his eyes.
Just then, Qi An'an felt a tickle on her cheek. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Hei dazedly snuggling up to her.
Where did you go?
"I don't know..."
Xiao Hei looked at Qi An'an, then at Yan Xingcun, its black fur gradually bristling.
Oh, and it needs to be reported!
[Do you still have energy?] Qi An'an remembered that Xiao Hei had exhausted his energy to heal her injuries before falling into hibernation.
"Huh, there is." Xiao Hei checked and was also confused.
Then it stared at Yan Xingcun suspiciously.
It was him.
It sensed the energy of the main system within him!
Xiao Hei was shocked by his discovery.
Qi An'an continued to ask, "What's wrong? Have you made any new discoveries? Have you made contact with the main system?"
The little black cat's fur was almost twisted into a small pretzel. "No."
Then the reporting process began.
Report it to higher authorities.
Qi An'an frowned, her tone somewhat suspicious, "Are you hiding something from me?"
Hearing her serious voice, Xiao Hei quickly said, "I... I sensed the power of the main system on the target. I'm reporting it now. An'an, maybe we should hurry up and leave! Waaah, if I had known, I should have just faked my death when I fell off my horse that day!"
The system lacked intuition, but it suggested leaving this world out of concern for An An.
An'an is right, points are no longer important!
The unknown is the most terrifying thing!
Qi An'an listened to Xiao Hei's words, reached out and petted it, and asked, "After you reported it, did the main system respond?"
Xiao Hei: "...No."
Qi An'an clicked her tongue. "Then continue reporting."
Xiao Hei's lively and energetic appearance made her a little envious. "Fix it for me again."
Xiao Hei: "...Okay!"
Qi An'an's right arm was a little itchy because the wound was healing, so she snuggled into Yan Xingcun's arms and soon fell asleep.
In the dim light, Yan Xingcun slowly opened his eyes, his gaze settling on the limp "black pancake" beside her face.
"Black Pancake" is also fast asleep.
He gently reached out and flicked his knuckles to brush the thing away from her face.
The "black pancake" instantly regained its soft, bouncy state, transforming into a black ball floating in the air. Suddenly meeting Yan Xingcun's gaze, it roared fiercely, "What are you looking at—"
He even played it! How dare he play it!
As soon as it made a sound, it sensed something was wrong and stopped abruptly.
Oh no, the target saw it?!
But the next second, Yan Xingcun closed his eyes again, gently placing his palm on Qi An'an's face, as if he were asleep.
Xiao Hei became confused again. He was very calm, which didn't seem like he could see it...
Yan Xingcun could naturally see Xiao Hei; he could even hear it talking.
Although An An didn't speak, judging from the black ball's response, he was certain that she had indeed been communicating with it in some way.
His girlfriend might not be human; she's hiding something from him.
The mission target, the main system... Where is she headed? And what does "faking death" mean?
If she wanted to, could she leave him anytime?
——
Qi An'an returned to the Xu family the next day.
Yan Xingcun followed her.
Xiao Hei was listless all day long, and when asked, it said it was uncomfortable.
Its current state doesn't seem like a problem with the organism itself, but rather more like it's being affected by the emotions of the person it's tasked with, as it has done before.
Yan Xingcun appeared calm and collected on the surface, but he was in a state of great inner repression.
Qi An'an thought it was because of what happened that day, so she asked about what happened next.
Ji Yu confessed to her in the hospital that he wanted to kill Yan Xingcun, but Yan Xingcun was impossible to kill.
There was no follow-up. They all knew it was Ji Yu who did it, but there was no evidence.
Qi An'an never expected that she would become famous because of the accident at the horse farm.
Although the horse was out of control, she remained calm and composed, and her heroic demeanor won the hearts of netizens.
Of course, what attracted them most was the scene after the two boys rushed out.
A short video went viral online, with netizens completely mythologizing her and elevating her to the status of an all-around goddess, even saying that even a wealthy scion like Yan Xingcun couldn't compare to her.
It has a strong tendency to praise someone to the point of ruin.
Qi An'an took screenshots of online comments saying that she and Yan Xingcun were a good match and forwarded them to Yan Xingcun. Finally, she saw a genuine smile on his face.
That evening, Xu Zhi and Wang Ruoyun did not return for dinner, leaving only the siblings and Yan Xingcun.
Wang Ruoyun originally wanted to take Xu Zihan with her, but he refused.
At the dinner table, Yan Xingcun frequently served food to Qi An'an, almost to the point of feeding her directly.
Xu Zihan sat opposite the two, his lips pouting so much they looked like they could hang an oil bottle on them. He wanted to serve his sister some food, but his arms were too short.
Xiao Hei perched on Qi An'an's shoulder and said softly, "An'an, are you reluctant to leave because you're eyeing the handsome target of your mission?"
Qi An'an ignored it.
Yan Xingcun's eyelids trembled slightly, and his gaze inadvertently swept over Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei suddenly felt threatened and stared at Yan Xingcun.
But it's impossible to figure out why.
No joke, sometimes it feels like the tasker is about to kill it.
Yan Xingcun went to the kitchen halfway through, and Xiao Hei followed him. When he returned, he told Qi An'an—
"An'an, Ji Yu is in an accident. His leg was run over by a motorcycle and he has to have it amputated."
Qi An'an's hand, holding the chopsticks, suddenly paused. [Where did the information come from?]
Xiao Hei: "It came from the Ji family."
At the kitchen door, Yan Xingcun returned carrying a pot of soup, his thin, rosy lips pressed tightly together, revealing his nervousness.
Qi An'an silently replied to Xiao Hei, "Guess who did it?"
Xiao Hei: "An accident?"
Qi An'an didn't say anything, but how could there be so many unexpected things...?
"Drink more soup." Yan Xingcun slowly filled Qi An'an's soup bowl with bone broth, then asked, "What are you thinking about? You look very serious."
As he finished speaking, he touched her forehead with his fingertip.
Qi An'an smiled and said, "It's nothing. This soup looks very nourishing. You should drink more too."
Yan Xingcun smiled and said, "Mm."
Across from her, Xu Zihan moved her bowl out, saying, "I want one too."
The resentment in those words was very genuine, but the two people didn't notice it at all.
The person who ladled soup for Xu Zihan was the nanny who heard the noise and ran over from not far away.
Xu Zihan was furious and glared at Yan Xingcun with sharp, piercing eyes.
As for Xingcun, he treated him like he was invisible.
Xu Zihan: "..." This is even more infuriating.
While drinking soup, Qi An'an held Xiao Hei in her hand and, as usual, kneaded it like a stress reliever.
Yan Xingcun diligently served her food, lowering his eyes and concealing all his aloofness, truly embodying the image of a dutiful and filial man.
Xiao Hei kept babbling on and on, and Qi An'an only occasionally responded.
She was very familiar with Yan Xingcun's every move, so she quickly realized that something was wrong.
She suddenly said to Xiao Hei, "My boyfriend is so sweet, I love him so much."
Xiao Hei snorted, "See? See? An'an's just obsessed with men! You can't win that over—ah~"
Qi An'an mischievously squeezed the black ball hard, and after it cried out, it forgot what it wanted to say.
Yan Xingcun looked over at Qi An'an, smiled, and said, "Is there anything else you want to eat? I'll get it for you."
Qi An'an shook her head, "I'll just have one more bowl of soup and that should be enough."
Then he said to Xiao Hei, "What do you think is the best way for me to leave this world?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hei immediately perked up, "An'an, go outside and find a car to hit you, I'll take care of the pain for you!"
"when--"
Yan Xingcun's spoon clattered against the soup pot, making a crisp sound.
Qi An'an and Xu Zihan both looked at him.
Yan Xingcun said calmly, "Sorry, I used too much force."
Xu Zihan muttered under her breath, "She can't even scoop soup properly..."
Qi An'an picked up the soup bowl, tilted her head back, and gulped it down.
He inwardly gasped, realizing that in this ghostly world, Yan Xingcun could actually see Xiao Hei.
Although he concealed it well, he was still behaving somewhat abnormally today.
He glanced at the spot where Xiao Hei was several times.
She had deliberately tested him, and to her surprise, he actually responded.
Now, there's no way to stay.
After dinner, Qi An'an took Yan Xingcun for a walk in the yard.
Yan Xingcun rarely showed his emotions, but at this moment he made no attempt to hide his unease. "Qi An'an, can you stay with me forever?"
Qi An'an joked, "Are you a child? Do you need someone to accompany you all the time?"
Yan Xingcun pondered for a moment, then said, "I can also be a child."
Qi An'an stopped and looked up at him. "There are some things that children shouldn't do."
"For example?" He put his arm around her waist and lowered his head.
She touched his waist, "Like this."
"Does it feel good?"
"good."
“It feels better here.” He took her hand and placed it against his chest.
"..."
Little Black has disappeared.
Yan Xingcun suddenly smiled and asked, "An'an, can I stay tonight?"
This isn't a place where Qi An'an can have a say.
Her answer is invalid.
That evening, Yan Xingcun took Qi An'an away under the pretext of taking care of her.
Xu Zihan cried until her eyes were red and swollen, and even rolling on the ground and throwing a tantrum couldn't keep the person from leaving.
Yan Xingcun took Qi An'an directly back to the Yan family's old house.
A secluded paradise, like a small manor, tranquil and pleasant.
In Mr. Yan's study, the fragrance of sandalwood rose gently.
Yan Laoli stared at Yan Xingcun, "You did the things that happened in the Ji family?"
Yan Xingcun blinked, not responding, his expression turning somewhat grave as he thought of some bizarre things.
"Don't pretend in front of me. Ji Yu deserves this lesson, but don't touch this kind of thing again." Old Master Yan's voice became more and more serious.
If you've been bullied, there's no reason not to retaliate. However, if you want to stay in a high position for a long time, you need to make sure your hands are clean.
Some things can be done by others.
Yan Xingcun nodded. "Is there anything else Grandpa wants to tell you?"
"You've only said a few words, and you're already getting impatient?"
"No."
"You like that girl that much?"
"like."
"Later—"
He interrupted Elder Yan, saying, "I will always like it."
Old Yan was speechless for a moment, but in his heart he felt that he was just at an age where he was overly focused on emotions.
Because he was too sentimental and impulsive, he didn't want to see him go astray.
After all, what he needs is a perfect successor.
Elder Yan: "I hope you remember what I'm saying now. I will talk to the Ji family. You don't need to concern yourself with Ji Yu's affairs anymore."
Yan Xingcun shook his head, "He won't give up on An'an. No one can interfere in my relationship with him. Grandpa, you don't need to do anything."
Old Yan took a deep breath, disregarding his composure, and couldn't help but curse, "I think you're just having a fit of teenage angst! How could I not understand? I've been through this myself, someone has to let go eventually, why don't you two live together?"
Yan Xingcun: "..."
There are some things he simply cannot explain.
He left the study and walked to a door.
He knocked lightly on the door, and after a short while, he saw the girl open it.
She peeked out, her pale face etched with exhaustion. "You're still awake?"
"Hmm, came over to take a look." Yan Xingcun looked at her teasingly, "Afraid to let me in?"
Qi An'an stepped aside, and after he came in, she leaned closer and sniffed him. "What's that smell?"
"I just came from Grandpa's study. He usually burns sandalwood incense." He also raised his hand to smell it. "Does it smell bad?"
"No, it smells nice." Qi An'an was too lazy to guess what he was thinking, so she hugged him tightly and murmured, "Do you want to sleep with me?"
Yan Xingcun felt as if he were being entangled by a demon, and he was completely unable to remain unmoved. "Watch your hands."
The little black ball didn't appear beside her, but he knew it was still there.
He picked her up and placed her on the bed. "Once your injuries heal, I'll stay with you however you want."
Qi An'an: "...It's not impossible."
Yan Xingcun sat on the edge of the bed, placed her delicate little hand in his palm, and gently stroked it, as if he were playing with some precious treasure.
She loves him so much, how could she possibly bear to leave him?
After Qi An'an fell asleep, Yan Xingcun got up and left.
Back in his bedroom, as soon as he closed the door, he saw red threads floating in the air.
here we go again.
He discovered that he could manipulate the world through these red threads.
She's the only one who can't do it.
He strode forward, his figure enveloped by dense silk threads. When the threads unfurled, he appeared alone in a hospital room.
The ward was also filled with such silk threads, even harder and denser, enclosing the place like a cage.
In the center of the hospital bed sat Ji Yu, lifeless and listless.
Yan Xingcun remembers him saying that his name was not Ji Yu, but Cen Ji.
Ji Yu noticed his arrival, and slowly propped himself up on the bed, struggling to sit up.
His leg was broken when Yan Xingcun unleashed his power.
But none of that matters; when their powers collided, his complete memories surfaced in his mind.
His name is Cen Ji.
He comes from the Quick Transmigration Bureau.
He entered this world with 001 while tracking him.
Ironically, 001 has not yet recovered all the data and is even still trapped in the identity of Yan Xingcun.
"You know now, right?" Ji Yu said calmly, "If I die, Qi An'an can complete her mission and leave, leave your world. You are destined not to have her, because... she and I are from the same world. That's why I'm so obsessed with her."
Yan Xingcun looked down at him, his gaze devoid of emotion, only scrutiny.
"She won't leave me, she promised me."
Ji Yu looked up and met his gaze. "Oh, did she tell you where she came from? Did she tell you that she could leave her data body with you while her real body could still leave?"
He wanted to see Yan Xingcun show even the slightest vulnerability, but he didn't.
Of course, this makes sense; he's essentially just a system, he's not even human...
"I don't believe a single word you say." Yan Xingcun slowly stepped forward, the red silk beside him like a sharp blade reaching towards Ji Yu, his voice growing colder, "I think it would be better if you disappeared."
Ji Yu reminded him of something: he could control the system called Xiao Hei.
Without the system, she shouldn't be able to leave this place.
The prerequisite is that he has to catch that little black ball.
Yan family.
Qi An'an sat on the bed, while the little black ball paced anxiously in circles. "What happened, An'an? He just suddenly disappeared from the Yan family! He's not human!"
Qi An'an was driven crazy by its noise, so she threw off the covers and left the room.
Her room was close to Yan Xingcun's; it was just a few steps away.
She thought it best to be straightforward and not hide anyone's identities.
Just as they reached Yan Xingcun's door, Xiao Hei suddenly grabbed Qi An'an by the back of her collar, "An, An'an, he's back!"
Qi An'an turned on her phone to check the time. He had disappeared for three minutes. Where did he go?
She raised her hand and knocked on the door.
Yan Xingcun's voice immediately came from inside, "Who is it?"
"Your girlfriend." Qi An'an stood at the door, put Xiao Hei in her pocket, and waited for the door to open.
"Can't sleep?" Yan Xingcun seemed to be preparing to take a shower. He had already taken off his shirt, revealing broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and firm muscle lines, exuding an irrepressible masculinity.
His face, however, could be described as extremely alluring, every glance seeming to bewitch.
"Yeah, I can't sleep as soon as you leave." Qi An'an walked in slowly, as if she were entering some kind of spider cave.
Yan Xingcun slowly closed the door, clicked it shut, and asked softly, "Want to see my abs?"
Qi An'an's gaze slid down, "...Mm."
Yan Xingcun smiled, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "Let me take a shower first."
Qi An'an: "Why do we need to take a shower first?"
He continued walking towards the bathroom. "Don't you want to touch it?"
Qi An'an: "..." Eh, this.
Xiao Hei popped its head out of her pocket, "Hey, this... An'an, are you still thinking straight??"
Qi An'an naturally didn't reply, but instead sat down casually on Yan Xingcun's bed and waited...
After the bathroom door closed, Qi An'an asked, "What's strange about this room?"
Xiao Hei: "No."
Qi An'an squeezed the little black ball and shook her head. It's over, the little black ball can't beat Yan Xingcun.
It now seems that Ji Yu is no match for him either.
What exactly is Yan Xingcun?
Qi An'an's curiosity was completely piqued, and she became more and more excited as she thought about it, but she didn't know what she was excited about.
All she knew was that she trusted and liked Yan Xingcun more than Ji Yu.
About ten minutes later, Yan Xingcun came out.
He was only wearing black pajama bottoms, still openly showing off his physique, and walked towards her while drying his hair.
"Wait a minute, I'm drying my hair."
“Okay.” Qi An’an nodded repeatedly.
Yan Xingcun was blowing his hair when he suddenly let out a low laugh.
Qi An'an asked, "What are you laughing at?"
He put down the hairdryer and looked over, saying, "You look like you're about to eat me up."
Qi An'an looked at him earnestly, "Don't be afraid, I don't eat people."
Yan Xingcun leaned closer, bringing their breaths together. He gently pinched her pink cheek and said, slowly and deliberately, "I will eat."
"Hiss..." Xiao Hei shuddered involuntarily, interrupting their sweet atmosphere.
Both gazes focused on the small black ball.
Xiao Hei originally wanted to say something sarcastic, but then it belatedly realized Yan Xingcun's gaze... and the next second it bristled again!
"You can see me!!"
Yan Xingcun didn't even try to hide it; he reached out and took it off Qi An'an's shoulder.
Qi An'an remained relatively calm, but Xiao Hei felt like the sky had fallen.
My first reaction was to report it!
Main system, help!
"Don't you want to ask anything?" Yan Xingcun held the struggling little black ball, looking down at the silent girl.
She wasn't surprised, so she had already guessed what was going on.
"Who are you?" Qi An'an asked.
Yan Xingcun felt as if something was blocking his throat, and he was speechless. He wasn't quite sure who he was.
In front of Qi An'an, he pressed the restless little black ball against his chest.
As if by magic, the little black ball disappeared, vanishing into his body.
Or perhaps, it merged with his body.
Qi An'an placed her palm against his chest and asked curiously, "Where's Xiao Hei?"
Yan Xingcun held her hand, his voice lowered, and his expression revealed a hint of unease, "Qi An'an, you said you wouldn't leave me."
Qi An'an now understood what he had just done.
He knew she wanted to travel the world through Xiao Hei, so he took Xiao Hei with him.
But how was he able to take Little Black away?
Qi An'an blinked, looked at Yan Xingcun in front of her, and an answer popped into her mind, but she couldn't be sure.
During those few seconds of silence, Yan Xingcun's thoughts were thrown into unprecedented chaos and contradiction.
He wanted to keep her by his side, but a voice deep inside him told him to let her leave.
Two conflicting thoughts clashed wildly in his brain, as if trying to tear his body in two.
A sharp pain shot through Yan Xingcun, and the taste of blood filled his mouth. He quickly got up and left.
"Yan Xingcun?"
Qi An'an quickly chased after her.
The bathroom door was closed, and all she could hear was the sound of rushing water coming from inside.
"It's okay, An'an, you go back first." Yan Xingcun had a splitting headache, and his voice was trembling as he spoke.
Qi An'an wasn't going to listen to any of that; she went straight to turn on the door.
Unable to open it, she kicked it.
There's no need to maintain any persona or image anymore.
With a loud bang, Yan Xingcun looked at the rickety door. After his initial shock, he gave a helpless smile, as if even the pain that had been attacking his brain had subsided considerably.
He said in a hoarse voice, "Stop kicking, I'll open it."
"Then hurry up."
Qi An'an then lowered her raised leg.
With a click, Yan Xingcun opened the door, and the light made the crimson stain on his lips particularly noticeable.
"Why are you vomiting blood?" She walked towards him, glanced at the sink again, and frowned.
For some reason, Yan Xingcun's eyes became sore.
He was slightly hunched over, and with a nasal tone, he said, "An'an, hug me."
