Chapter 94 Chapter 94 System 01 retrieves part of the script for review...
Song Youning achieved her goal and immediately turned her back on him. She turned sideways to face Ji Siyun, pulled up the quilt to cover him, closed her eyes and said, "I'm still a little dizzy. I need to rest. You can go now."
The delicate little face with eyes tightly closed could not hide the secret joy, and the corners of her mouth raised a beautiful arc, which could be seen clearly from Ji Siyun's angle.
She didn't even want to pretend to be so thoughtful in front of Ji Siyun.
The worry in his eyes had not yet dissipated, and looking at the smile on the corner of her lips, helpless indulgence welled up in his deep black eyes.
The slightly cool fingertips gently touched the place on the back of her head where she was hit. Song Youning felt the mattress beside her slightly dented. Ji Siyun was sitting on the edge of the bed. His fingertips were a little cold, just enough to relieve the slightly hot skin.
"It seems a little swollen. Should we call a doctor to take a look?" His voice was concerned and gentle, as if he had turned back into the old Ji Xiaogou.
Although her hot scalp did feel soothed by his massage, Song Youning still closed her eyes and raised her hand to push him away, saying impatiently, "I told you not to!"
But now Ji Siyun is no longer the Ji Xiaogou who always obeyed her. The voice that responded to her suddenly became cold.
"Miss, if you want to meet your parents, you'd better behave yourself."
Song Youning turned around abruptly, and what she saw was Ji Siyun's face, which was clearly smiling but not smiling at all. She pointed at him in disbelief, her eyes widening. "Are you threatening me?"
Ji Siyun gently grasped her fingers and brought them to his lips, kissing her fingertips. His cold smile was tinged with a hint of evil, and his eyebrows raised slightly. "Miss, whatever you want to do, I will cooperate with you."
He released her fingers as she looked at him in surprise, then leaned forward and pinched her chin, his dark gaze carrying a strong sense of aggression.
"But don't try to leave me." His eyes held a confidence that Song Youning couldn't understand. "You can't escape."
Song Youning shrank back as if frightened by him, showing just the right amount of fear on her face, but there was a calmness in the depths of her bright eyes.
They were very close to each other, and the atmosphere this time was not as ambiguous as before. Both pairs of eyes, each filled with thoughts, seemed to be able to see through each other's disguise, but neither of them said it out loud.
"Why would I run away?" Song Youning stared at him, her voice timid but her eyes cold. She said, "My parents are still in your hands."
Ji Siyun used her to threaten Song's father and mother, and also used Song's father and mother to threaten her.
As their eyes met, Song Youning clearly felt the fingers stroking her chin tremble slightly. Ji Siyun released the hands that were restraining her and suddenly stood up.
Against the light, Song Youning couldn't see his face clearly, he could only see his tense jaw and pursed lips.
"I'm glad you know." Ji Siyun turned and walked out. "The doctor will be here soon."
He seemed like he didn't want to talk to Song Youning anymore, and walked out of the house in a few steps. After a while, Aunt Wang came in with the doctor.
The doctor Ji Siyun found was just as quiet as he was. After silently examining the "injury" on the back of Song Youning's head, although he felt that the boss was making a fuss, he still asked diligently, "Do you have any symptoms of discomfort? For example, dizziness, nausea, or vomiting."
Song Youning thought about it and remembered that a few days ago he did feel so dizzy that he almost couldn't stand, but he guessed it was because he stood up too quickly at that time, so he shook his head.
The doctor nodded, took out a blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing ointment from the medical box and placed it on the cabinet.
"Since you don't have those symptoms, let's rule out the possibility of a concussion. Let's try applying some medicine first." He glanced at the red mark on her wrist and added, "You can also use it on other areas."
The doctor quickly packed up his things and left. Aunt Wang followed him and closed the door for Song Youning, and the room became quiet again.
After everyone left, the system spoke: "Host, what are you going to do next?"
Song Youning picked up the tube of ointment and played with it, with a curve at the corner of his mouth. He seemed nonchalant, but in fact, it was like a sharp blade, with a cold light flashing.
She avoided discussing her own thoughts and instead instructed the system: "System, sort out for me all the plots in the original book that are related to the period between my offline time and the appearance of the heroine."
"Good host."
Aunt Wang smiled as she sent the doctor away and went upstairs.
She knocked on the study door and waited for the sound of "come in" from inside before she pushed the door open and went in.
The huge study was empty, with only a desk, a chair and a computer.
The heavy curtains were closed and the lights were off. Only the computer screen was lit in the dark room.
Ji Siyun was sitting in front of the computer. The dim light could only illuminate his face. His pale face looked like a ghost under the dim light, beautiful but terrifying.
Aunt Wang was not afraid at all. The moment she stepped into the study, her smiling and kind face instantly became stiff and mechanical.
She walked to the desk and stood still. Ji Siyun slowly raised his eyes from the computer screen. With just one glance from him, Aunt Wang began to repeat in detail everything Song Youning had done and said that day.
"Miss went downstairs for breakfast at 09:02 today. After breakfast at 09:27, she went to the garden and stayed there until 10 o'clock. Then she returned to the living room to watch TV..."
Her report was accurate to every minute. Ji Siyun listened with a blank look in his eyes, and his whole body was silent like a sculpture.
Aunt Wang's voice was gentle but lacked emotion, like a robot's tone, and she continued speaking in a flat and straightforward manner: "At 12:50, the young lady returned to her room to rest after lunch; at 15:35, the young lady came downstairs and asked to speak to Mrs. Song -"
His empty eyes suddenly became sharp, and Ji Siyun asked, "What did she say?"
"The young lady said that Mrs. Song's birthday is coming up soon, but she couldn't go back to celebrate it, and she felt very sorry. Mrs. Song said that it was you who prevented her from going back, and asked her not to blame herself, and that birthdays can be celebrated every year, and if they can't be together this year, there's always next year."
Next came some bad things Song's mother said about him. Ji Siyun listened to Aunt Wang repeating everything without even blinking. Only when she talked about Song Youning did his cold expression change slightly.
"Mrs. Song noticed that the young lady was in a bad mood and kept trying to comfort her. She talked about her childhood, and the young lady's mood improved a little. She took the initiative to mention an interesting story about her childhood when it was Mrs. Song's birthday one year and the three of them traveled abroad together."
"After she finished speaking, the young lady became sad again. She said that they had agreed a long time ago to celebrate for Mrs. Song when she officially retired at the age of 55, but now they had broken their promise. Mrs. Song was stunned for a moment before she said that she had not worked for several years and that they had already celebrated for her."
What followed were some very normal conversations. Ji Siyun listened quietly to Song Youning's day. His pretty face showed a hint of fatigue under the dim light of the screen. He waved his hand and motioned Aunt Wang to go out.
The moment the study door was closed, Aunt Wang's stiff eyes regained their spirit, and she walked downstairs with a smile on her face, humming her favorite song, like a puppet that had been given a soul again.
In the dark study, the only sound was the slight sound of electricity from the computer working. Ji Siyun sat at the table, and only when he was alone did he look exhausted.
The dim light shining on his face flickered, and a dialog box popped up on the screen. If Song Youning was here and saw what was on the screen, he would definitely feel his scalp tingling.
[System 01 retrieves part of the script for review.]
Ji Siyun looked at the message with a slightly frown in his brows. After his fingers nimbly entered a few codes on the keyboard, the content to be retrieved was displayed - all information that had nothing to do with "Song Youning".
His tense back relaxed, and he lay exhaustedly on the chair, looking up at the equally dark ceiling with a refreshed gaze. After a while, he chuckled to himself.
The script had been tampered with by him a long time ago, so it would be meaningless even if she read it many times. From the moment she entered this world, the plot no longer mattered.
The reason why he was so nervous was simply because he was a despicable person with a guilty conscience.
Will it be discovered?
Yes, what would she think of him after that?
Ji Siyun slowly closed his eyes, and his self-deprecating smile gradually turned bitter.
No, she certainly didn't want to see him again.
Song family.
"Ningning said that we agreed to celebrate your fifty-fifth birthday this year?" Father Song tightened his hands on his knees, his eyes filled with doubt, "But you're clearly fifty-four this year—"
Although Song Youning was somewhat spoiled by them, he always respected and loved his parents. It was impossible for him to even remember his mother's birthday wrong.
Song's mother also knew this. She recalled the call this afternoon and continued to talk about other things that were wrong: "Ningning also said that when she was a child, we took her to play abroad and she was very happy."
The couple's faces turned serious. No one knew better than them that when Song Youning was little, they were busy with work and didn't even have time to take her to an amusement park, let alone go abroad.
One year, on her birthday, Song Youning made a wish to travel to Norway with her family. Her parents coaxed her into agreeing but never fulfilled their wish, which made her furious. Even now, she can still find the grievances she wrote down in the diary in her room.
Mother Song's eyes lit up, and she looked up at Father Song, who had also figured it out.
Just as they were about to speak, their phone suddenly rang, interrupting their speculation. Song's father picked up the phone with a look of hatred on his face. Thinking of the message Song Youning had conveyed, he calmed down and answered the phone, saying, "Ji Siyun, what can I do for you?"
The young man's deep voice sounded even colder through the electronic sound of his phone. He seemed unwilling to communicate with them and said bluntly: "The eldest lady wants to see you. Mrs. Song's birthday will be soon. I will prepare a birthday party then. You must attend on time."
Song's father and mother exchanged glances, snorted coldly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, we just want to be together as a family, there's no need for a birthday party..."
"I didn't ask for your opinion." Ji Siyun's calm and unyielding voice came from the receiver. "I will announce my engagement to her at the banquet."
Even Song's father, who had experienced many ups and downs, was so angry at his nonchalant attitude that he snapped and shouted angrily, "Ji Siyun! Who allowed you to—"
The young man, who had taken control, didn't bother to listen to him. After announcing his decision to them, he simply hung up the phone.
Song's father was so angry that his face turned red, and Song's mother, who was standing by, was also furious when she heard the content of the call.
But at this time, their anger seemed meaningless.
Mother Song felt extremely sad when she thought that her lively and lovely daughter would be tied to the dark and weird Ji Siyun because of them from now on.
She covered her face and couldn't help but feel her eyes moist: "My Ningning, she is still so young and has never even had a normal relationship."
Father Song was furious and quickly stepped forward to comfort her: "We already understand most of what Ningning said to you today. It's a pity that Ji Siyun's people are watching her, so she can only pass on the information to us this way. The birthday party is also an opportunity. Then find a way to find a time when no one is around and ask Ningning when she plans to leave."
Song's mother shook her head and said sadly, "It's too late. Ji Siyun had already announced his engagement at that time..."
Her voice suddenly stopped.
"Mom, you were born in 1970, right? We had planned to celebrate your official retirement this year."
She was clearly born in 1971, so why did Song Youning deliberately move her birth date forward a year?
Originally, she couldn't understand what Song Youning meant by this, but after Ji Siyun called her, she finally figured it out!
Mother Song grabbed Father Song's hand and said with an ecstatic expression, "I understand!"
"I understand what Ningning means!"
