The sound of Chen Huai falling was not loud, but he did hit the solid wooden floor hard, and it still sounded very painful.
While Si Jiu was arguing with the system in his mind, he went over to support Chen Huai.
[Fuck, you didn't tell me before. What do you want me to do?]
I just said I'll be indefinitely married, and now you're telling me I have to sleep next to the male lead for another month? Are you kidding me?
[It's 29 days and 7 hours.] The system maintains its usual rigor.
[By then, the hero's body and the golden finger will have completely merged, his physique will have changed, and his legs will have recovered. Then you can retire.]
"What were you doing earlier? You couldn't tell me before I spoke? Now we've already met, and you're asking me to go back on my word?" Si Jiu wanted to explode in anger. "I'm your father, but I'm very respectable, okay?"
System: I don’t think you are very shameless.
"Can you please not leave yet?"
Chen Huai's words made Si Jiu and the system quiet at the same time.
He gripped himself with surprisingly great strength, and although his posture was very strong, there was a subtle tremor in his voice.
[See...] The system couldn't help but let out a hint of pride in its voice.
Sijiu silently blocked it and turned to look at the male lead.
The tension in Chen Huai's eyes was clear.
Because of Sijiu's silence, Chen Huai's heart sank little by little, his eyes became deeper and deeper, and the strength in his hands increased unconsciously.
Perhaps a person who has lived in darkness all his life does not understand how it feels to suddenly see the light.
But he had lived in cold and pain since he was born, and the moment he grasped the warmth, he knew that he would never let go even if he died.
But if she doesn't want to...can he really keep her?
"……Oh well."
Just three words seemed to pull him out of the cold abyss.
Chen Huai's eyes were turbulent, and he almost couldn't control his expression.
"Why!"
He heard her cry out in pain.
"You scratched me so hard."
He suddenly loosened his hand, then reflexively grasped her wrist, and said awkwardly, "Sorry."
This look of fear that she would run away is really... too cute.
system:【……】
I don't know what's wrong with you humans. You love to praise each other for being cute.
"Okay, okay, I won't leave. Please sit down." She patted his hand, and her soothing tone was as if she was treating a child.
Only then did Chen Huai realize that he had put most of his body weight on her. The weakness in his legs made him feel ashamed for the first time.
"I can stay, but I have one condition."
Chen Huai restrained his emotions and looked at her.
"I want to sleep with you tonight."
"Cough cough cough..." The person who just pushed the door open never dreamed that he would hear such a powerful sentence. He choked and coughed until his face turned red.
Sijiu looked over unhappily and saw an old man in his sixties with gray hair.
"Ah, sorry. I saw that the young master hadn't come downstairs for a long time, so... I'm sorry to bother you."
"Wait a moment." Chen Huai hurriedly called him, his ears slightly red, and his tone was as steady as possible, "He is the housekeeper Wang Bo." He introduced him to Si Jiu.
Sijiu nodded.
"Uncle Wang, is there something wrong?"
Generally speaking, no one would disturb him when he was upstairs.
"I'm sorry, young master. The master called several times and said that you didn't answer the phone in the morning, didn't attend the morning meeting, and didn't go to the company in the afternoon. He was worried that you might be... not feeling well, so he asked me to come and see you."
I didn't expect to see such a big show as soon as I saw it. Oh no! Why did I forget to knock on the door in such a hurry this time?
Chen Huai: “…”
Phone calls, meetings, company… He had completely forgotten about it.
