So no matter how scared they are, the cubs will try their best to retract their claws, which are not sharp but soft, and accept the kindness of humans.
Meng Xi was like a young animal longing for redemption. She also understood that it was Chu Qi who caused her pain, but she still resolutely threw herself into Chu Qi's arms.
The young animal thought, let’s just trust humans this time.
Meng Xi thought, I will trust him just this time.
She...accepts his apology.
Chu Qi felt the petite body in her arms trembling slightly, and there were warm water stains on her chest which was not covered by a coat.
Through a thin layer of clothing, intense emotions were conveyed to her.
*
Time passed slowly, perhaps one minute, perhaps two minutes.
She suddenly heard the voice of the system.
[Ding, rescue target Meng Xi's redemption degree is 70%]
This is the usual system tone, which is fundamentally different from 009.
Although 009's sound was also a cold electronic one, Chu Qi could always glimpse a little bit of emotion that only humans should have.
The broadcast is pure code, without any emotion.
There was a hint of confusion in Chu Qi's eyes. She thought that because of her suicidal behavior just now, it would be considered lucky if Meng Xi's redemption degree did not increase or even drop to a negative number.
Why--
But will it rise?
Still 70%.
It rose so quickly that it felt unreal.
009 is becoming more and more humane.
Before the host could say anything, it was shocked: [Host, I was just in a daze, what happened? The redemption rate dropped to a precarious 0.1% a second ago.]
Chu Qi glared: [Is it so serious! ]
009 hummed in affirmation, "Host, please be careful not to destroy the person you are trying to save, otherwise you will easily enter the punishment world. I believe you will not like it, hehehe."
Chu Qi: [.....What? ]
She had almost forgotten about the punishment world and only remembered the image of the ghost.
She totally failed to understand the deep meaning behind 009's inexplicable villain-like smile.
The system did not explain much about this, but only said mysteriously: [You will understand when you fail the next mission. ]
Out of a sense of responsibility for the only high-level host, the system kindly added: [High-level hosts will not die even if they fail their missions when entering the punishment world. At most, they will be beaten back to intermediate hosts.]
Chu Qi, who was finally promoted to a senior host and enjoyed memory freedom, said that he would try his best to complete the task and refused to understand 009's "understanding".
*
Meng Xi cried for more than ten minutes, and gradually her breathing became steady.
Chu Qi carefully lowered his head to check and found that she had fallen asleep in his arms.
"......"
Sighing inwardly, someone more carefully carried the sleeping girl into the bedroom.
Lay the girl on the bed and take off her shoes and socks.
Despite such a big movement, the girl was still sleeping soundly, with no sign of waking up.
Seeing the deep fatigue between the girl's brows and the dark circles under her eyes, Chu Qi didn't have the heart to ask her to get up and go home.
Chu Qi turned off the lights, drew the curtains, and the room fell into darkness.
Chu Qi slowly left the room and closed the door, deciding to spend the night on the sofa.
Chu Qi had no intention of sleeping in the original owner's parents' room. Not only was it dirty and messy, but the mistress had slept there before.
You've got yourself dirty for no reason.
Chu Qi who was leaving didn't know that the moment the door was closed, the girl who should have been sleeping soundly opened her eyes in the darkness. Although there was fatigue and red bloodshot in her eyes, her look was clear.
——That was her last test on Chu Qi.
She didn't know what she was trying to find out.
But Chu Qi's careful action of carrying her back to the room made Meng Xi feel warm in her heart.
——I like Chu Qi, it’s a really good choice.
It's more exciting than the marriage my mother talked about.
Meng Xi got out of bed, washed her feet, lay back down on the bed filled with Chu Qi's scent, closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.
Let’s go home tomorrow. She felt guilty about her willful behavior, but more importantly, she felt the excitement of being rebellious.
For the first time, she decided not to listen to her mother and fight for her freedom.
*
The next day, just after dawn, the alarm that Chu Qi set for six o'clock rang, and she knocked on her bedroom door.
Meng Xi opened the door with her hair a little messy.
She was not wearing shoes, and her white instep was clearly visible. She didn't have much flesh, but the muscle lines were slender and smooth, and her perfectly trimmed toenails were round and pink.
“An unopened toothbrush.”
Chu Qi held a pink household spare toothbrush in her hand and stuffed it into Meng Xi's hand.
She lowered her head and noticed that Meng Xi was not wearing shoes, and asked with concern:
"Why don't you wear shoes? The floor is cold."
Meng Xi pursed her lips and smiled, "I forgot."
Her mind was so focused on opening the door for him that she rushed over without wearing shoes and with her hair disheveled from having just woken up.
"Remember to wear shoes." Chu Qi nodded.
"Okay." Meng Xi walked back and put on his shoes.
After washing up, Chu Qi did not make breakfast. She rode her bike to send Meng Xi home and bought some steamed buns and soy milk from a breakfast shop on the road.
If Meng Xi did not come back all night and returned in the morning with a boy by her side, there would be no way to explain it.
So Chu Qi didn't send her to a place too close, but parked the car in the park, and agreed with him to wait for her there to go to school together.
*
Meng Xi tiptoed back to the floor that belonged to her home, then opened the door. The living room was very quiet.
