Chapter 170 Why do you care so much about your nephew?
"Yeah, let me help call for help." Chen Zhaoyue responded nonchalantly while digging the soil.
Wen Yanxi looked at Chen Zhaoyue thoughtfully. Liu Siyu made such a fool of herself, but she didn't react at all?
"Can you help call for help?" Wen Yanxi asked tentatively.
Chen Zhaoyue looked at Wen Yanxi innocently and nodded: "Yes, I was just about to eat! She suddenly pounced on everyone she saw, as if possessed by a demon."
Chen Zhaoyue paused, stretched her neck and listened to the noise outside. After making sure that no one was passing by and would not hear her conversation with Wen Yanxi, she lowered her voice and said to Wen Yanxi, "But I think Liu Siyu's symptoms are like she ate something wrong."
Wen Yanxi hummed a noncommittal sound, but he had other thoughts in his mind. He recalled how Chen Zhaoyue had been mentioning Liu Siyu intentionally or unintentionally during this period. He hadn't paid much attention to it at the time, but now he thought it might not be a coincidence.
Could it be that Liu Siyu’s wild behavior today has something to do with Chen Zhaoyue?
If it really had something to do with Chen Zhaoyue, was she doing it cleanly? Did she leave any evidence against her? Did she need him to help her clean up the mess?
"How is Liu Siyu now?" Wen Yanxi changed the subject.
"She's still under observation at the health center. The doctor said they'll wait until she's fully awake before doing any more tests," Chen Zhaoyue replied. "Dean Gao visited her several times today, but she hasn't woken up. Dean Gao didn't say anything, but his expression was a little grim. Uncle, will what happened this afternoon have any negative impact on Wen Qing?"
Wen Yanxi shoveled a shovel of dirt vigorously, "You care about him a lot?"
Chen Zhaoyue blinked innocently: "Isn't it normal for elders to care about the younger generation?"
Wen Yanxi paused. He really couldn't refute this reason.
Chen Zhaoyue tilted her head and briefly rested her little head on Wen Yanxi's shoulder: "No matter what, Wen Qing is your nephew. We are family. If his reputation is damaged, it will indirectly have a negative impact on you."
Wen Yanxi took the small shovel from her hand, took her hand and stood up and walked into the house: "It won't affect me much, you don't have to worry. Let's go, wash your hands and eat."
…
At the same time, in the health center, Liu Siyu slowly woke up.
She had a splitting headache and her memory was in a mess. She only remembered sitting with Wen Qing for lunch at noon, and then... then everything was blank.
"Are you awake?" Li Xiaoyan, the nurse on duty, walked in. Seeing Liu Siyu awake, she looked at her with a complicated expression. "How do you feel?"
"Where... am I? What's wrong with me?" Liu Siyu asked weakly.
"This is the health center. You've been sent here because of your abnormal behavior." Li Xiaoyan chose her words carefully. "The doctor will be here soon. Don't move."
Liu Siyu nodded blankly, trying to recall what happened at noon. Suddenly, the system's urgent alarm sounded in her mind:
[Warning! System energy is severely overdrawn! Emotion collection program is forced to interrupt! The host used the forbidden item 'Love Powder', resulting in a backlash effect!]
Liu Siyu was shocked, she remembered that she had indeed used the powder given to her by the system at noon. She thought that the effect of the drug would double her attraction to Wen Qing, but she didn't expect it to have the opposite effect.
[Backlash effect: The user will temporarily lose control of their emotions and develop overly attached behaviors towards the opposite sex around them] The system explained coldly.
Liu Siyu's face paled instantly. So she hadn't "sickened" at noon, but had made a fool of herself in public? In front of Wen Qing and so many others?
"No... System, you have to help me!" Liu Siyu covered her face, realizing in despair that her image might have been ruined.
After Liu Siyu woke up from the medicine, she lay in the clinic for a while, then dragged her sore and weak body back to the dormitory.
But the physical discomfort was far less devastating than the mental trauma Liu Siyu suffered.
The mission failed for two consecutive days. Yesterday it was electric shock. What will be the punishment today?
Liu Siyu didn't want to recall the feeling of being electrocuted yesterday at all.
But what made Liu Siyu more anxious than the punishment the system gave her was that she was disconnected from the system.
Liu Siyu couldn't believe that the system gave up on her because of her two failures. She had completed the previous tasks so well. Since the system found her, it meant that she was the darling of heaven. How could she be wiped out because of one or two failures?
Liu Siyu returned to the dormitory with a pale face, and climbed onto her own bed amidst the sympathetic, curious, or contemptuous gazes of her roommates.
The other people in the dormitory stopped talking and the surroundings were very quiet. Finally, a systematic response came into Liu Siyu's mind.
A cold, mechanical voice exploded in her mind: [Mission failed, system stripped, countdown to annihilation begins: ten, nine...]
Liu Siyu sat up suddenly, her heart beating wildly, "System? Stop kidding! Answer me!" She shouted at the top of her lungs in her heart, her hands unconsciously clenching the sheets, her knuckles turning white from the force.
[Eight, seven…]
Liu Siyu pleaded with a trembling voice, cold sweat dripping from her forehead and onto the back of her trembling hands. "No, it's impossible! There must be a way to remedy this! Please, give me another chance!"
[Six, five...]
Liu Siyu clutched the quilt tightly, consumed by the fear of impending annihilation.
She cannot be erased!
She will be able to complete fifty tasks soon, take the rewards given to her by the system, reach the pinnacle of her life, and become a rich woman that everyone envies!
But the system's countdown didn't stop even though she was screaming frantically: [Four, three...]
As the countdown approached, Liu Siyu's breathing became rapid and shallow, and her lungs seemed to be squeezed by something, unable to inhale enough air.
"two……"
Liu Siyu lay stiffly on the bed, remembering the day she arrived in this world and the mission the system had told her to complete; she remembered the first time she and Wen Qing had met, the anxious look in his eyes; she remembered pretending to know nothing about medicine while clumsily learning how to use the medical equipment of this era; she remembered the thoughtful look in Chen Zhaoyue's eyes when he looked at her...
【one. 】
A violent tearing sensation erupted from within her body, as if countless hands were simultaneously pulling at every muscle and nerve in different directions. Liu Siyu opened her mouth, but no sound came out. Her vision began to distort, and the scene of the dormitory blurred and dissolved like a water-soaked oil painting.
At the last moment, nothing related to her left any trace in this world.
As if nothing happened.
Then, Liu Siyu disappeared.
The other people in the dormitory did not feel surprised by Liu Siyu's disappearance. There was only a shallow human-shaped dent on the bed, but it was recovering to its original shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.
