Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Cold Face Wash XX Literature Shines into Reality
As soon as the system came online, it started screaming: "Ah! Host, what are you doing!"
Song Youning: Can't you see that I am comforting him?
"Why are you trying to comfort the hero? Your mission is to hurt him!"
This useless thing was still as noisy as ever. Song Youning ignored it chattering in his mind and focused on the current situation.
She wasn't good at comforting people, so this was the best she could offer. Her patience was exhausted, and she withdrew her hand from his back and squeezed in between him and her.
Ji Siyun's embrace was so tight that she could hardly breathe. She put her hands on his chest and tried to push hard - but failed.
The young man looks thin, but he has been doing part-time jobs that require physical strength for many years, and he has thin muscles that are full of strength.
"Jisiyun, let go!"
Her voice was muffled and a little exasperated in her chest.
The smile on Ji Siyun's face widened, but his voice was still aggrieved, even a little humble.
"I know I'm not good, Miss, will you dislike me?"
"I don't mind, I don't mind." Song Youning answered casually. She tried a little harder but still couldn't break free. She was so angry that her voice became louder: "Let go quickly, you're hurting me!"
The clamp-like arm finally relaxed, and Song Youning immediately crawled out.
She was in a hurry to talk to the system and didn't even look at Ji Siyun. She turned around and went into the bathroom.
Closing the door, Song Youning leaned on the sink with both hands: "Where have you been all this time!"
"Restarting the world previously consumed too much energy, and I don't have much energy left. In order to conserve energy, I took the initiative to log off for a while."
Song Youning: "...In other novels, the system can provide the host with all kinds of cheat codes. Not only do you have nothing, but you also have to shut down to save power?"
"Host, are you scolding me for being useless again?"
"I'm glad you know."
It seemed as if the system was irritated by her. There was a crackling sound of electricity in her mind. Song Youning fixed her hair in front of the mirror and said in a low voice, "Don't waste electricity. There must be something wrong with the sudden online. Tell me quickly."
"Yes! Didn't the host ask before if there was a progress bar to check?" The system's electronic voice became excited at her reminder. "I didn't notice it at the time because I had restarted too many times and my state was unstable. Recently, when I cut off contact with the host to gather energy, I accidentally discovered that there is a progress bar."
"I haven't even gathered enough energy yet and I'm here to tell the host this news."
A light-colored progress bar suddenly appeared in front of Song Youning, with the number showing +80%.
The mission completion rate is already so high!
Compared to her, the one doing the task, the system was even more excited: "Congratulations, host, you will be home soon after completing the task!"
Something is wrong. Something is very wrong.
Song Youning frowned and was not blindly optimistic.
If you think about it carefully, after she came here, she just did some minor things and didn't seem to have done anything, but the progress bar has already reached this point?
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
She frowned, her brain racing as she thought about what the system had said to her. Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind.
Before Song Youning entered this body, Ji Siyun had been subjected to inhuman torture by the original owner for many years. According to the system, Ji Siyun had deviated from the plot and killed the original owner dozens of times...
She raised her eyes and looked forward. The girl in the mirror had a dark face and her dark brown pupils trembled slightly.
"There are still four years until I'm supposed to go offline, and the progress bar has already reached this point. Does this mean that I'll be in danger from now on?"
The laughter of the system in my mind stopped abruptly.
"The higher the value, the more damage I've done to him. So when the progress bar is full, it's time for me to log off."
The system trembled: "If the progress bar is full before the plot is killed..."
Song Youning had no expression on his face: "Then I'm done."
"Ah! What should we do? Host, what should we do?"
Song Youning was amused by the noise. "I'm the one who's going to die, not you. Why are you panicking?"
"No, host. My energy is not enough to support the next reboot after I brought you here from the real world to complete your mission. If your mission fails, I will disappear along with you."
The pretty face in the mirror was a little distorted. Song Youning bit her back teeth and almost squeezed out the words from between her teeth: "You said, grab it?"
Realizing that he had let something slip, the system laughed guiltily: "This... isn't it because the host is a very powerful female CEO..."
Song Youning was silent for a while.
"I ***! You ***! ***!"
"Host, please use polite language." The system said weakly, "We are comrades now, sharing life and death."
Song Youning gritted his teeth and said, "Who wants to share life and death with you?"
She is the eldest daughter of the Song family and a strong candidate for the future successor of the Song Group. However, she was abducted by this garbage system to be a background character in the novel, and she has to risk her life to fight wits and courage with the yandere male protagonist who has not grown up.
Who did she offend?
Song Youning closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, his eyes had returned to calm.
She has been working hard for so many years, and now that victory is just around the corner, there is no way she will fail here.
"Does this progress bar show the progress of task completion?" Song Youning asked.
She calmed down so quickly that the system was once again thankful that it had taken a gamble and chosen her for this mission. It carefully checked the panel and said, "It's not written there."
Afraid that she would dislike him again, the system immediately assured her, "Host, I am unstable only because I have consumed too much energy. As long as I stay dormant for a while and accumulate enough energy, I may be able to see the progress of what this is."
"But based on my estimation, this is probably the completion of the mission or the hero's hatred for you. After all, you are so mean to the hero, it can't be his love, right?"
Song Youning nodded. She had recently read a lot of novels, and what the system said was similar to what was written in those novels, except...
She looked puzzled, "What does this '+' mean?"
The system didn't know either: "Anyway, as long as we can make it through four years and reach 100% progress, the host's mission will be completed."
Its voice began to have a distinct electrical sound again, intermittent, and the system's tone became urgent. "Host, I am about to disconnect you again. I'm leaving some of the energy I've accumulated here. You can use it to check the progress bar and see how to complete the task."
Song Youning's eyes lit up, "You are finally useful."
"But the energy isn't much, and you can only use it a few times. You have to wait until you need it! And this time I used up all the energy I just saved up, so it might take a long time to save enough to go online next time."
"But don't worry, I will find out what happened just now. Just focus on your mission!"
Before she could ask more questions, the system was about to go offline again. Before it completely lost contact with her, Song Youning said to it earnestly, "Go back and tell your developers to improve their professional skills and stop developing random products that harm others."
"Host...you...you scolded me again...ziz——"
The connection was completely severed, and the voice in my head returned to silence.
He came out of the bedroom with a wooden face. Ji Siyun was no longer in the living room. The light in the laundry room was on. Song Youning followed the light.
A tall and thin figure stood in front of the laundry table, his shirt cuffs unbuttoned and stacked up at the elbows, revealing pale skin on his arms.
Amid the sound of rushing water, Ji Siyun was bending over and scrubbing clothes. His rough hands were soaked in the water, and his fingertips were red.
Song Youning could tell at a glance that the clothes soaking in the pool were all hers - Ji Siyun was washing clothes for her.
Although the heating was on in the house, the water in the pool was still warm. Song Youning quietly stretched out his index finger to test the temperature.
A cold hand stopped her movement.
"Miss, the water is cold, don't touch it." Ji Siyun turned his face to the side and forced a smile at her.
His eyes were still red, and his long, thick eyelashes were wet and had not dried yet, sticking together in clumps.
The man had just finished crying and hadn't even wiped his tears when he came to wash her clothes.
Song Youning felt like being struck by lightning - what kind of cold-faced washing underwear literature is this entering reality.
Song Youning felt a chill in his heart when he heard his own metaphor, and his eyes were fixed on the cold hand that was blocking him.
Looking closer, the redness and swelling of his fingers became more obvious.
She still had to stay in this world for another four years. The progress bar had already reached 80%, leaving her with little room to maneuver. If she didn't grasp the right balance and angered Ji Siyun prematurely, he would send her offline...
Then she really went offline.
It’s better not to act up during this period and keep Ji Siyun stable.
Song Youning quickly grabbed the hand that was about to retract and continue washing clothes, and the concern in his tone was abrupt: "What's wrong with your hand!"
Ji Siyun let her hold his wrist, his eyes still full of water, but he didn't look at her. His gaze fell on the ground, his lips slightly pursed.
He looked like he was about to cry.
"Why don't you use the washing machine?" Song Youning pulled his hand and asked, trying to cover up his mistake.
"The young lady's clothes are very expensive and will be damaged by the washing machine." Ji Siyun's answer obviously did not give the complete reason.
Do I need to ask? It must have been Song Youning who asked him to wash it by hand!
Song Youning looked at his red and swollen fingers, as if she saw her own bleak future. She forced herself to pretend not to understand: "You can also wash it with hot water. Look at how frozen your hands are..."
Why not use hot water? It's impossible that Ji Siyun likes to suffer, but Song Youning is determined not to admit it at this moment.
She pulled up Ji Siyun's other hand which was soaked in cold water. Her hands were smaller than Ji Siyun's, and her two hands could only wrap around his four cold fingers to give him a little warmth.
His fingers, which were almost numb from the cold, were wrapped in a soft and warm palm. Ji Siyun lowered his eyelids, and his long eyelashes drooped, making him look particularly aggrieved.
But she still said: "Miss, it's okay, I'm used to it."
“In fact, it’s not the coldest weather yet.”
"It's going to snow soon, and the water will be the coldest when the snow melts. Every time I soak in the water, it feels like being pricked by needles. After washing clothes, my hands will first feel hot, then swollen and itchy..."
Song Youning covered his mouth.
Stop talking!
What’s the difference between this and reading her eulogy!
Song Youning couldn't even laugh when she saw Ji Siyun, who seemed obedient but was actually accusing her with every word he said.
Those who plant trees will enjoy the shade.
The evil deeds of the previous generation will bring disaster to the next generation.
