Xu Shiqing was forced to take leave.
His superiors gave him a break for about a month, and the director happily told him that the entire Dragon Team would not tell Xu Shiqing anything about the mission during this period.
"Young comrade, your health is the capital of revolution!" the old director said earnestly. "You have good intentions to serve the people, but you can't ignore your health, right? I've read your health report! I fully support the organization's decision!"
This incident caused a sensation in the Abnormal Management Bureau. Everyone knew Xu Shiqing's workaholic nature, just like the rumor that he could survive by drinking dew.
When Xie Jingyi came to hand in some materials for a task, he overheard it and had a nonchalant, teasing look on his face.
"By the way, hasn't the Feng Group been busy lately?" The old director said happily.
Xie Jingyi despised his hypocrisy: "Just tell me what you want to do!"
"I heard you were planning to take advantage of this vacation to return to City B." The old director didn't hesitate and went straight to the point: "Go and cultivate your relationship with Comrade Xu Shiqing."
"?"
Xie Jingyi Jingmin refused to thank him: "We are not compatible, so I declined."
"It's also because of the mission," the old director said earnestly. "Besides, we're all comrades. We can talk things out if there's any misunderstanding! I've heard about your situation! Didn't you sign the critical illness notice last time? What a great opportunity!"
"...That's because... Forget it, what do you want me to do?" Xie Jingyi asked.
"Everyone has seen Comrade Xu's daily behavior. But this last mission is truly worrying," the old director said. "His background is no secret, yet for all these years he hasn't had anyone he could call a relative or friend. Honestly, I'm worried."
"Didn't we give him a month's vacation?" Xie Jingyi frowned. "He's not a child who knows nothing. As an adult, are you still worried that something might happen to him?"
Besides, I really can’t understand how he could be alive today if he had died earlier.
"I'm just worried he won't understand." As if reading his mind, the old director took a sip from the health cup on the table. "I'm letting you go because, on the one hand, it's your group's turn to go on holiday, and you're on your way. On the other hand, I'm also considering that if anything really happens, you're capable and strong enough to handle it."
"That's a good plan!" Xie Jingyi sighed. This old fox is really something.
He was silent for a moment, as if remembering something. "We agreed to just stop by and take a look. If that guy is rude like we just met for the first time, I don't care about his background."
"I didn't realize you were so vindictive." The old director was amused and surprised: "That happened eight years ago, right?"
"It's not just that time." Xie Jingyi snorted coldly, and a hint of anger suddenly appeared in his eyes.
The old director had a general idea in his mind, but he waved his hand nonchalantly, smiled and pinched his glasses and said that he was old and lacked energy, so he would go and deal with the electronics group's affairs first, and then strolled away.
Xie Jingyi rolled his eyes speechlessly behind him. This old guy always finished his work and then went to see if other groups needed any help. He never had time to spare.
In Room 502, 7th Floor, Unit A, a residential complex in the suburbs of City B, Xu Shiqing stared at the corn and pork rib soup in front of him with a serious expression, like a soldier about to go to the battlefield.
[This time it will definitely work!] 021 said with certainty, [I didn't mistake the salt! I've also carefully calculated the time, amount of water, and the weight ratio of food to water! This time it will definitely taste good!]
"Are you sure?" Xu Shiqing expressed his doubt. The truth was, he had already blown up the kitchen three times in the past two weeks. If it weren't for his superb supernatural powers, he would have been embarrassed and reported to the Abnormal Management Bureau.
"This is the last time!" Xu Shiqing emphasized: "If you fail again, you must promise me that you will not interfere with my eating habits!"
021 If I had teeth, I would probably bite them to pieces. Listen to what he said, he sounded as if he was so innocent!
'021' Xu Shiqing shouted seriously: 'Don't cheat, we agreed.'
[Not at all!] 021 retorts, [I didn't agree to that at all! And it's the system's responsibility to take care of the host's health...! Don't cover your ears!]
Xu Shiqing put down the hands that were blocking his ears and picked up the spoon as if nothing had happened, as if he was about to drink the soup.
021 didn't notice his movements, he was too busy being angry. "Xu Shiqing! I'm telling you, by the end of this month, your health indicators will decrease instead of increase. Just wait and see!"
He said viciously, "Not only will I shut down your mission report generator! I'll also make sure you never pass your Candy Crush game again!"
!
Is this human language?
Xu Shiqing almost threw the spoon away: "No! I've reached level 4,000!"
They were about to completely crush Xie Jingyi under their feet! Do you know how hard he'd worked for the past two weeks? That was four thousand levels! Four thousand!
[Xu Shiqing! You childish ghost, spend the rest of your life with your damned garbage takeout!]
021 was angry and released a blazing background music to express his anger.
Xu Shiqing put a spoonful of food into his mouth and said, "What's wrong with takeout? It's convenient, fast, and delicious!"
【But you only eat one meal!】021 Angry.
"Cough!" Xu Shiqing spat out the soup and covered his mouth: "Hiss, it's so hot!"
The esophagus is burning, as if it is on fire.
[Wait, wait, wait, where's the medicine?!] 021 was startled. They had forgotten that the soup had just been served. He searched for the records. [In the second drawer of the living room, there was one... It's gone.]
The system's voice was cold and indifferent.
Xu Shiqing took a sip of cold water, and his special ability made it solidify and cool down, and the burning sensation dissipated instantly.
