Chapter 2 Chapter 2 I'm in a Book
When he closed his eyes, his other senses seemed to be amplified. He could feel the girl opposite him leave, and the scent of jasmine tea faded from strong to weak, and then gradually became stronger.
She is back.
What would it be this time? Her favorite whip soaked in salt water, or some new tool?
The young man thought to himself in despair that it would not be something that would make him feel good.
But once again, to his surprise, a soft, scented towel fell on his head, the rich and warm fragrance was very close to him, and a pair of soft hands gently wiped his hair with a dry towel.
The young man opened his eyes in surprise and saw the girl with red lips and white teeth squint her eyes at him. They were very close to each other, and when she spoke, her warm and sweet breath fell on his face.
"You're sick, you can't sleep with wet hair."
Miss Song, who looks kind but has a wicked heart, would never get close to him, let alone help him wipe his hair.
The young man, dizzy with a high fever, could only look at the girl in front of him with a serious and gentle expression.
His eyes were wet and he looked like a harmless little puppy.
Song Youning dried his hair and said, "Go to bed."
The young man hesitated for only a moment, then he obediently followed her instructions and sat on the bed. Song Youning put the wet towel back into the bathroom, and when she came out, the young man was still sitting there motionless in the same position.
Is this guy a fool?
Song Youning muttered to himself, then said, "Lie down."
The young man lay straight down, staring at her without blinking.
Song Youning: "..."
Song Youning: "Close your eyes and go to sleep."
He was like a robot following instructions, she said one thing and he did the same.
Even now, Song Youning was still confused. He didn't know how he got here, nor did he know who the person in front of him was.
After all, when the enemy comes, we must fight him; when the water comes, we must block it with earth. She has been fighting with Song Zhiyan for so many years, so why is she afraid of such a small thing?
The cloth soaked by the rain stuck to her back, which was uncomfortable. Song Youning looked at the young man to whom she had given the antipyretic medicine - his expression was calm and his breathing was long.
He fell asleep and she walked towards the bathroom.
The door closed and the young man on the bed opened his eyes. His dark eyes were indifferent and devoid of human feeling.
The quilt covering her body was one she had used before and was stained with her fragrance.
The medicine she had just given him should be a fever-reducing medicine. Now that the medicine was taking effect, the young man's head began to feel dizzy.
The original Miss Song would not let him into the house, would not let him take medicine, and would not allow him to lie on her bed.
She wouldn't smile at him or gently tell him to go to sleep.
He turned his head to look at the tightly closed bathroom door. He could hear the sound of water running inside. His eyelids grew heavier and heavier, but his hands hidden under the quilt clenched into fists, pinching his palms hard and refusing to fall asleep.
Until the sound of water in the bathroom stopped, the young man turned his head and resumed his previous posture.
The bathroom door opened, hot air poured out, and the young man, with his nose on the tip of his nose, smelled her fragrance and gradually moved closer, and the girl walked to the bed.
She was looking at him.
The young man's temperature rose and his body felt like shaking with excitement.
Song Youning looked at the handsome young man with his eyes closed, and always felt that this beautiful face was inexplicably familiar.
He looks really well behaved when he is quiet, much more pleasing to the eye than when he pretends to be well behaved.
Since the other person was asleep, Song Youning reached out his hand to the other person's soft hair and rubbed it without any psychological burden, whispering, "You look like a homeless puppy."
Even through the soft hair, the temperature of the other person's forehead was still frighteningly high. She frowned, because she couldn't just stand by and watch a living person.
The young man pretended to be asleep and heard her footsteps coming and going. Her delicate hands lifted his bangs in front of his forehead, and the cold towel pressed against his hot skin, bringing him a hint of coolness.
Although his eyes were closed, if Song Youning looked closely, he could see his trembling eyelashes.
The towel was heated and changed again until midnight. Song Youning waited until his body temperature was no longer hot to the touch before he stretched and stood up.
You still have to sleep, maybe tomorrow will be another tough battle. Anyway, the person on the bed is too weak to do anything. Song Youning walked to the other side of the bed very calmly.
Go to bed and sleep.
Song Youning, who has been fighting with his half-siblings since he was a child, has seen a lot of ups and downs. Even though he guessed that this matter was unusual, he could still close his eyes calmly.
Wake up and think about it, there is always a way to deal with it.
She soon fell asleep, but the quiet young man beside her slowly opened his eyes again, turned his head and stared at her closely.
Those dark eyes were like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, waiting for the enemy to relax so that it can rush forward and kill him with one blow.
"A puppy...?" His voice was hoarse. He looked at the sleeping Song Youning, loosened his palm that had been pinched until it bled, and let himself fall asleep.
…
"Ding! Your system is online!"
Song Youning opened his eyes, calmly lifted the quilt, got out of bed and went to the bathroom.
The electronic voice in her head was still ringing.
"Hello, host! I am the World Stability System. The world you are in now is a novel. Your identity is Song Youning, the eldest daughter of the Song family who adopted the male protagonist Ji Siyun."
Song Youning: Novel?
"Yes, that's right! Host, you have traveled to the body of a character with the same name as you. As long as you complete the mission, you can return to your original world and continue your life!"
Song Youning was silent for a while, then suddenly turned on the faucet and washed his face with cold water.
"I must have been too busy lately and am hallucinating. It's all that damn Song Zhiyan's fault..."
"Host, I didn't lie to you! You really have traveled through a book! If you don't believe me, look in the mirror!"
Song Youning exhaled and looked at herself in the mirror. After waking up from a good sleep, she finally remembered where the weird feeling she had when looking in the mirror last night came from - she had just celebrated her 29th birthday half a month ago, and the girl in the mirror was so tender that she seemed to be able to squeeze out water, and was clearly not even 20 years old.
The girl in the mirror's beautiful, round, almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened, looking a bit terrified. Song Youning pinched her cheeks in disbelief, and the person in the mirror did the same thing.
pain……
Good news: Painlessly rejuvenate and look ten years younger.
Bad news: human trafficking.
The thing that called itself a system was still chattering tirelessly in her mind.
"Host, you see, I didn't lie to you, you really did travel through the book, and it just so happens that your current identity has the same name and surname as you. As long as you complete the task, I can send you back."
Song Youning quickly accepted the fact that he was in a book - bullshit!
Did it know that she was about to defeat Song Zhiyan and become the heir to the Song family?! After more than 20 years of hard work, what was the point of this mission?! They were all dead!
"Host, calm down! You can still return to your original body!"
Song Youning had a blank expression on her face as she searched the bathroom for a weapon that could kill her and this inexplicably appearing system. "Go back? By the time I get back, the food will be cold!"
"Calm down! Time flows differently in the fictional world and the real world! A few years here will only pass a few hours in the real world!"
Song Youning found an eyebrow trimmer from the cabinet. She held the razor and tucked her long hair behind her ear with an elegant gesture. "What task do you want me to do?"
"The male protagonist is abused and humiliated, forced to grow up, and then the male protagonist takes over the family property and retaliates to his death."
Song Youning: ...Is there some serious illness?
"Who is the male lead?" Song Youning vaguely remembered that the system had just mentioned it.
"Ji Siyun, that's the adopted son of your family, the one lying on your bed right now."
Song Youning remained silent, the system unable to hear even a whisper from her. After a few minutes of silence, it weakly asked her, "Host, what's wrong?"
Song Youning's expression was a little distorted. She tried to hold it back, but couldn't help it. She gritted her teeth and growled, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
She thought of the heir position that was within her grasp, and the handsome young man who had painstakingly helped him reduce his fever with physical therapy until midnight last night...
If I had known her character was a vicious female supporting role who abused the male lead, why would she have bothered with that much effort?
"I'm low on energy. I only managed to gather enough energy today to log in..." The system's voice was a little weak. "Besides... you're not a supporting actress. The original owner only appeared in a few dozen words in the novel... In fact, you're not even cannon fodder."
What happened in the past few hours must have been too bizarre, which is why she lost her usual calmness and composure.
Song Youning took a deep breath and calmed himself down as quickly as possible: "So why do you need me to play such a background role?"
"In the original plot, the protagonist, Ji Siyun, lost his parents at a young age and lived with his blind grandmother. He was handsome and intelligent. After being adopted by the Song family at the age of eleven, he was bullied by the young lady of the Song family for many years."
"At first, it was just minor fights, but as Miss Song grew older, the abuse became more and more excessive. However, Ji Siyun lay dormant for many years, always accepting it and pretending to be well-behaved, thus gaining the trust of the Song family's parents."
"After graduating from university, Ji Siyun joined the Song family company and infiltrated it. Two years after graduating from university, at the age of 24, he successfully took over the Song family company and retaliated against Miss Song, who had abused him for many years, killing her."
"Ji Siyun quickly rose to become a business tycoon, and later, with the help of the Song family's assets, he became a powerful industry tycoon. However, due to years of abuse, he was left with a serious psychological trauma. It was not until the heroine of this story appeared and redeemed him."
"But I don't know what went wrong. Before the story could even begin, Ji Siyun, who didn't have enough strength, fought back and killed the original owner when Miss Song abused him again. He was then sent to the police station by the original owner's parents and eventually died in prison, preventing the plot of this novel from unfolding."
"It was for this reason that I had to expend energy to start the story over again from the beginning, which is why I was unable to release the mission online in time."
Song Youning: "So this is a redemption novel, and my identity is just a psychological shadow of the male protagonist that was just glossed over?"
"That's right!"
Song Youning: "Then my mission is..."
"I'll abuse and humiliate Ji Siyun until two years after he graduates from university. After he takes over my company, Ji Siyun will personally retaliate against me."
Song Youning: "How many times has he deviated from the original plot and killed the original owner?"
The system was silent for a while, and after a long while, it reluctantly replied: "Only... a few dozen times..."
Song Youning closed his eyes and sneered.
"Oh, wait for death."
"No, host! You'll die if you fail the mission! Don't you want to return to your original world? You'll be the heir soon!"
It was right. After enduring for so many years, the clouds were about to clear and the moon would appear.
Song Youning chose to compromise and breathed a sigh of relief: "Forget it, I won't die for now."
The system watched her finally put the eyebrow trimmer against her wrist back into place, and felt that the heart created from its data could finally beat normally.
Song Youning pressed his brows and instructed the system: "Pull out all the content about me in the original novel and take a look."
"Ji Siyun was adopted by the Song family at the age of eleven. Miss Song Youning disliked this adopted brother from the mountains and abused him in every way. When the Song family came under the control of Ji Siyun, Song Youning, without the protection of his parents, suffered the consequences and was severely retaliated by Ji Siyun, eventually passing away tragically."
"No more?"
“No more.”
Song Youning closed his eyes and slowly exhaled again.
There is no hint of the character's background, an identity that has been killed dozens of times, and a system that knows nothing.
The road ahead is truly chaotic.
