Chapter 22 I like you on your birthday and want to kiss you
The countdown to this week's mission node has begun.
Gao Li shoulders a heavy responsibility. As the saying goes, alcohol gives courage to cowards.
She drank a little wine, not to get drunk, but just to give herself courage.
When she climbed onto the bed and came closer, Jian Yi smelled alcohol.
He frowned and really wanted to pick her up and throw her out.
But considering that she was there to complete the mission, he just endured it reluctantly.
Gao Li sat side by side with Jian Yi, looking at his face and laughing.
Jian Yi glanced at her. Are you stupid?
Gao Li is not stupid, she is very smart.
She took out her cell phone and typed something on it for Jian Yi to see.
[Am I the person you rely on the most now?]
Jian Yi looked at her and nodded.
There's nothing he can do about it; this is the character he set for himself.
[Am I your fiancée?]
Jian Yi: “…”
What exactly does she want to say?
If you want to complete the task, just come directly. He can just close his eyes and pretend he knows nothing.
[Do you know what an engaged couple is?]
[An engaged couple is one who is already engaged, which means they are in love with each other.]
Jian Yi nodded.
so what?
[So, I like you, so I want to kiss you. The more times I want to kiss you, the more I like you.]
Jian Yi: “…”
Gao Li blinked and stared at him.
——[So, understand?]
Jian Yi chuckled and arched his eyebrows.
He raised his hand to tuck the hair on her cheek behind her ear, leaned over to her ear, and the breath he exhaled hit her body when he spoke.
Gao Li couldn't help but tremble.
"I know. You don't have to make excuses for me. I know what you want to do. Like you said, I'm your fiancé. Do whatever you want."
"Just like me now, I can't help myself."
The man's lips tilted slightly and lightly touched Gao Li's face.
"Bang." The string in my mind suddenly broke.
Gao Li froze, a tingling sensation spreading throughout his body, and the cheek that the man had touched suddenly became as hot as the sunset in the sky.
With a whoosh, she rolled under the bed and covered herself tightly from head to toe with a blanket.
She was scared.
Being scared again.
Seeing the woman wrapped up tightly, Jian Yi took a deep breath and smelled the strong smell of alcohol.
Come on, isn’t it just acting and telling lies?
Taking advantage of his amnesia, I treated him like a fool.
Gao Li was going crazy, his heart was pounding.
——[Ahhhhhhhh.]
——［Why is it so hot? I can’t stand it.］
She originally just wanted to take advantage of Jian Yi's amnesia to find a reason to complete the task openly. Otherwise, she would always feel like a gangster if she waited for him to fall asleep and kissed him secretly every night.
——［If I had known this, I wouldn’t have made excuses.］
——[As expected, this matter still needs to be done secretly.]
Gao Li wasn't one to give up easily. After calming down, he took advantage of the dark and windy night to sneak onto the bed again.
——［1, 2, 3…48, 49, 50.］
She took a sharp breath.
——［That’s it for tonight. It’s great that we’ve accomplished this much.］
Ensuring her safety this week, Gao Li fell into a deep sleep.
In the dark night, Jian Yi suddenly opened his eyes, and his clenched fists revealed that he was not calm at the moment.
There are still at least five hundred more kisses to complete the task, which means he still has to endure more than five hundred times.
Alas, when will it end?
How should we live like this?
The next day, faced with his sudden wealth, No. 13 spent money like crazy.
No. 13: "Current mission progress, dear [293/840], miracle medicine [12 (internal) + 22 (external)/120], 7 bottles in storage."
Gao Li became more and more angry as he washed his face.
——[In order to complete the mission, I sacrificed my spirit, and he took advantage of me. I also gave him the medicine, but in the end, I didn't benefit at all.]
No. 13: "If it could be considered a mental loss before, is it really a mental loss now?"
"Are you and Jian Yi sure that he was the one taking advantage?"
——[……]
No. 13: "You two are just the same."
Well, she admitted that Jian Yi was quite pretty now.
But she is not bad now.
Gao Li mixed seven bottles of magic medicine into Jian Yi's breakfast and gave it to him.
After she finished, she came up with a new idea.
——[No. 13, you said my own experience is fantastic enough, right? If I take this experience as a new idea and write a new book, it will definitely be a hit.]
The system doesn't know whether it's popular or not, it only knows that the host is about to return to his previous state of neglecting food and sleep.
No. 13: "So all your future missions will be on time."
——［Not necessarily. Last time I had to rack my brains to come up with the plot, but this time it's ready-made. I just need to add some artistic creation. It won't be like last time, I promise.］
Gao Li is quick-tempered and does what he says.
She hadn't had any new inspiration since she finished the previous data book, but didn't this inspiration come just like that?
Chapter 1 begins with their first meeting.
Gao Li began to write, and even copied the names of the two protagonists without changing them.
First of all, she couldn't think of it for the time being and was too lazy to think about it.
Secondly, there are so many people with the same name and surname, so even if the name in the novel coincides with the real name, it doesn’t matter much.
And they themselves are not very popular and known by many people.
Just like Su Sangwan’s name, she definitely cannot use it directly, and needs to make some changes.
She is "Mom" anyway, it doesn't matter.
After the miraculous medicine entered his body, Jian Yi waited patiently for its effect.
After seven bottles, I can feel the obvious effect.
His body felt lighter, and the poison Jian Zhengyuan had given him should have been mostly cleared.
Jian Yi raised his hand and looked at the lifeline in his palm.
He wanted to take back the life span that should have belonged to him from Jian Zhengyuan.
All this is thanks to the author who is working hard on his creation at this moment.
Jian Yi looked at the unformed puppet on the table, and an idea came to him.
Isn’t Gao Li’s birthday coming up soon?
Give her a birthday gift to repay her kindness.
Although he is not a good person, he still has some emotional intelligence.
Gao Li's birthday was coming up soon, but she was so busy with her creation and completing her tasks that she had forgotten about it long ago.
On this day, when he arrived at work on the morning of the 13th, his tone was full of excitement.
"Happy birthday!"
Gao Li likes to stay in bed and was still half asleep.
No. 13: "Host, wake up, today is your birthday. Aren't you looking forward to the birthday present I give you?"
--[Birthday? ]
Gao Li rubbed his eyes, opened the calendar on his phone, and stared at the date for a long time.
——［So today really is my birthday.］
She was very calm, without any expression of excitement.
No. 13 wondered: "Host, are you still asleep?"
——［Ahhh, why did you tell me it’s my birthday today!］
No. 13: "What's wrong? Shouldn't you be happy?"
Gao Li kicked off the thin blanket in annoyance.
——[What's the point of being happy? Knowing it's your birthday but no one celebrates it, wouldn't that be even more miserable?]
——[If I didn’t know, I could still treat it as a normal day and be happy.]
Number 13 disagreed, "But if I don't know, wouldn't it be even more painful to look back and find that my birthday was so dull?"
——[……]
Well, she admitted that the broken system did make some sense.
Gao Li urged.
——[Hurry up, since you said so, let me see what gift you gave me?]
No. 13: "Close your eyes."
Gao Li closed her eyes obediently, and soon she felt something heavy in her hand.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a set of very delicate and high-end skin care products.
No. 13: "My colleague said no woman can resist skincare products. These are carefully selected from the products developed by my company. This set covers many functions, including hydration and rejuvenation, acne treatment, whitening, etc. Don't worry, these products are as gentle as miracle drugs and will not irritate or cause allergies."
—[Wow.]
Gao Li gently stroked the exquisite packaging, his two dark eyes shining.
Through the magic medicine and Xiao Qiangqiang, she already knew that what the system company developed was not an ordinary thing.
——[Oh, it turns out that No. 13 is so good to me. I can’t repay him. Mua, mua.]
Number 13 frowned, "Hey, there's no need for the kiss, save it for Jian Yi."
Apart from the blessing on the 13th in the morning, the day was very ordinary, no different from any other day.
She has become accustomed to blessing herself at this time.
Gao Li gave himself a day off.
She lay in the rocking chair in the yard, closed her eyes and felt the presence of autumn.
The early autumn breeze was cool, making the maple trees above her rustle. One or two leaves fell on her, and Gao Li picked them up with surprise.
——[The maple leaves have turned red, so beautiful.]
The time was pleasant. Number 13 asked, "How did you celebrate your birthday in your previous world? It must have been very warm, otherwise you wouldn't want to know because no one celebrated it."
Gao Li lowered her eyes, and her two curled eyelashes trembled like butterflies.
——[In the past, the birthday wishes I received on this day would be… text messages.]
No. 13: “Huh?”
——[In fact, the life stories of Su Sangwan and Jian Yi are both microcosms of my reality.]
My father was a firefighter. He died in the line of duty when I was six. A year or two later, my mother remarried and took me with her. Later, she became pregnant and had health problems, so I started living in the school dormitory when I was nine, returning home once a week.
——[Later, I had younger brothers and sisters, and my mother seemed to have forgotten me. I didn't have my own room, I didn't know where to put my things, and there were no dishes I liked on the table. It felt like their home, and I felt increasingly isolated.]
——[When I went to university, I had my own life, and sometimes I would not go home during the winter and summer vacations, using my part-time job as an excuse.]
——［I’m used to it, so when you gave me a gift this morning, I was really surprised and very happy. Thank you, my lovely No. 13 for now.］
No. 13: “…”
When the story ended, her voice was still rising with gratitude for the gift she had suddenly received in the morning.
Jian Yi opened the curtains and looked at the girl bathing in a sea of fiery red maple leaves, his eyelashes trembling slightly.
It turns out that they share the same suffering.
