Chapter 118
Wen Qing asked her to leave, but Liu Siyu turned around and left. Turning back even a second later would have been disrespectful to herself.
Liu Siyu felt that she held the initiative in this attack and she would never be controlled by Wen Qing.
As a result, as soon as Liu Siyu walked out of the ward, the system reminded her that her favorability had dropped by two points.
The favorability level dropped three times in a row, each time by two points, and Liu Siyu was furious.
Liu Siyu once suspected that the waste system was taking revenge on her for calling him a fool last time, implying that she was stupid.
Liu Siyu quickly walked into the women's restroom and called out the system.
Liu Siyu's face turned pale, and her tone was filled with obvious anger: "What's going on? Why is the favorability level dropping continuously for no reason? Is there a bug?"
She has been taking care of Wen Qing day and night these past few days. Even if their favorability doesn't increase, it wouldn't be in vain if it remains the same.
But Liu Siyu stayed up for several nights, and got dark circles under her eyes and looked haggard. After all the hard work, her favorability rating dropped.
Isn't this just freeloading her labor?
No, it can be said that the system is taking advantage of her labor for free, this is clearly making her pay for it.
Liu Siyu refused to give in and insisted that the system give her an explanation: "I suspect that these six points of favorability should have increased, but for some reason you miscalculated them. System, you must give me these six points back."
The system was silent for a second, then said, "There's nothing wrong with the system. This is normal. These six points have indeed been reduced. It's not a miscalculation on my part."
This time it was Liu Siyu's turn to remain silent.
The system was also puzzled. Why did the favorability value suddenly drop by six points? It asked Liu Siyu: "What did you do? Did you say or do something to upset the captured person?"
Liu Siyu laughed out loud at the system's skeptical tone. "What can I do? With Wen Qing in his current state, what can I do to him? I'd like to do something about him, speed up the capture process, and take him down directly. But out of 24 hours a day, he sleeps in bed for 20, and for the remaining four, he scorns me and won't let me take care of him."
Liu Siyu put her hands on her hips and paced around the bathroom. A sinister expression crossed her sweet face as she gritted her teeth and said, "Do you think being a lousy nurse is that easy? Because Wen Qing was injured, I stayed by his bedside for two sleepless nights. I didn't do anything as drastic as taking care of his excrement and urine, but I was busy too. I either gave him water or wiped him down to cool him down physically."
"But he didn't thank me after he woke up. Instead, he started to distance himself from me and treated me very coldly! Has he forgotten how attentive he was before, chasing me around like a dog?"
Liu Siyu was really furious: "He's just a tool to provide me with rewards. I haven't even started to dislike him yet, but he's already acting so arrogantly!"
Liu Siyu reviewed with the system what happened after Wen Qing woke up, and the system fell silent again.
Based on past experience, there was nothing wrong with Liu Siyu's behavior.
And according to common sense, when a man wakes up from a serious injury, the first thing he sees is the woman he loves taking care of him at the bedside. Shouldn't he be moved and heartbroken, and then take the relationship to the next level with the woman he loves?
All of Liu Siyu's performances and actions were in accordance with the set procedures. She was a veteran and would never make mistakes in small details.
However, her behavior failed to move the person she was pursuing, and instead made the person's favorability towards her decrease.
Could it be that the target this time doesn’t like Liu Siyu’s type?
The system wasn't sure if the problem really lay with Wen Qing, and it didn't dare to jump to conclusions, otherwise Liu Siyu would definitely blame it for misleading her into choosing the wrong target.
The system told Liu Siyu that it would go back and check, and would contact her after determining where the problem was, and then it disappeared.
Liu Siyu was almost going crazy. She had worked hard for half a year and thought she was one step closer to success, but not only did she not make any progress, she actually regressed.
Her favorability score dropped so much in an instant, which means that half of her past efforts were wasted!
Liu Siyu couldn't accept that her six months of work had been in vain. She had to find a way to make Wen Qing double his favorability towards her!
…
Wen Qimin only went to the health center to see Wen Qing on the day he was injured, and Wen Qing was still unconscious at that time.
After Wen Qing woke up, Wen Qimin never visited him once.
It’s not that Wen Qimin doesn’t care about Wen Qing’s injury, but because he hears about Wen Qing’s recent situation from Wen Yanxi every day.
After learning that Wen Qing was being well taken care of in the health center, that Chen Zhaoyue took his pulse and gave him acupuncture every day, and that Wen Qing was cooperating and not making trouble, Wen Qimin felt relieved and focused all his attention on his work.
Wen Qing’s accidental injury must be investigated as soon as possible, otherwise the soldiers will not be able to go to the mountains for field training in the future.
Wen Qimin has been investigating the venomous snake incident these days, but the soldiers he sent out have not found any suspicious persons yet.
However, the soldiers discovered that there were many snake nests where Wen Qing was injured. These were the kind of snake pits where several kinds of poisonous snakes were kept together.
To protect nearby residents and military wives from danger, soldiers scattered snake pits with realgar, which dispersed the snakes. Some braver individuals caught a few non-venomous snakes and had the canteen chef make snake soup for them as a snack.
Based on the locations of several snake pits mentioned by the soldiers, Wen Qimin found the village closest to those places.
Wen Qimin pointed at the village circled in red on the map and said to Bai Jiang, "Send scouts into the village to check the situation. Be sure to pay attention to safety. This is an order."
Bai Jiang received the task, stood up and left Wen Qimin's office to arrange the work.
At the same time, a young soldier from a small southwestern town came to visit Wen Qing and shouted in Wen Qing's ward: "Wen Pai, wait until the snake soup is ready, I will bring it to you to nourish your body."
Wen Qing waved his hand and refused: "Now I have to get Dr. Shen's approval before I can eat or drink. If I dare to eat without permission, I will be scolded."
The young man from the southwest grinned, revealing a row of neat white teeth, and said with a straightforward smile, "Good things should be shared. Don't worry, Wen Pai. I'll send a bowl of snake soup to Doctor Shen so she can try something new."
Speak of the devil, and here comes the devil. Chen Zhaoyue walked into the ward with her hands in the pockets of her white coat. When she heard the young soldier mention her name, she smiled and said, "What good things do you want to give me? Tell me first."
When the young soldier saw Chen Zhaoyue smiling at him, his heartbeat quickened and his face flushed. He stood up nervously and answered Chen Zhaoyue's question as if he was giving a report: "We caught a few non-venomous snakes in the mountains a few days ago and are planning to have the chef in the kitchen make snake soup for us as a snack!"
