Chapter 86 System, Sabbie
Early the next morning.
The pungent smell of disinfectant jolted Giulio awake from his daze.
He opened his eyes and saw a snow-white ceiling.
Is this... a hospital ward?
Memories of last night flooded my mind like a tidal wave.
His seductive swaying, his alluring posture, the clothes he took off one by one, and... the red underwear he used to wipe his tears.
Giukiro's face went from deathly pale to flushed red, and then to a deathly gray.
The society is dead.
I dared not open my eyes, hoping it was just my imagination!
He, the dignified head steward of the Fu family, actually stripped naked in public!
Today I'm going to burn all the hundred or so red briefs in my closet; I'm too ashamed to wear them anymore.
"You're awake?"
A gentle voice sounded from the side.
Jujiro stiffly turned his head and saw Zhang Yan sitting on the edge of the bed.
Zhang Yan handed over a glass of warm water with a concerned smile on her face.
"How are you feeling? Is there anything that's bothering you?"
Looking at that handsome and kind face, Giulio's eyes welled up with tears, and he almost cried again.
Dr. Zhang is such a good person!
I did such a terrible thing to him last night, and he not only wasn't angry, but he's here taking care of me.
"Dr. Zhang...I...I'm so sorry..."
Zhang Yan gently patted the back of his hand and comforted him, "It's okay, I know you didn't do it on purpose. You're a victim too. The poisonous mushrooms in that soup were very potent and could cause hallucinations and loss of control."
"It's my fault; I didn't check the ingredients properly."
He took all the responsibility upon himself.
Guchiro was deeply moved.
Just then, the system's voice rang in Zhang Yan's mind.
As long as Jujiro remains firmly on your side, what's so difficult about seeing the male lead, Fu Xiaoting?
A barely perceptible smile curved the corners of Zhang Yan's lips.
However, the system's voice had barely finished speaking.
Gyukiro, who was still immersed in emotion, suddenly sat up abruptly from his hospital bed as if he had remembered something.
His expression changed drastically, and he stumbled as he tried to get out of bed.
"No! I have to go right now!"
Zhang Yan quickly helped him up: "Where are you going? You're not well yet."
"bracelet!"
"I can't breathe," said Gukiro anxiously.
"I haven't given Butler Yun the bracelet I promised!"
"After what I did last night, she'll definitely think I'm a pervert!"
After saying that, he shoved Zhang Yan aside and rushed out of the ward.
...
Yun Yang had just woken up, yawning as she walked out of her room and went straight to Fu Xiaoting's room.
Store the mind-reading technique.
She's not like Fu Xiaoting, that shut-in; he needs to stay in the villa, so it's not safe for him to be around.
Fu Xiaoting's room.
The heavy curtains kept out the morning sunlight, leaving only a quiet, dark space.
She tiptoed quietly to the bedside.
The man was fast asleep on the large bed.
The profile of his face appeared exceptionally deep in the dim light, and his breathing was steady and long, giving him an unguarded look.
She leaned down, her dark hair falling down, a few strands gently brushing against Fu Xiaoting's cheek.
Without the slightest hesitation, a gentle kiss landed on his thin lips.
It was less of a kiss and more of a quick, cold touch, devoid of any personal emotion.
Mind reading, transfer successful.
She straightened up, clapped her hands, and walked towards the door without looking back.
The moment she turned around, the man who had been "sleeping" on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.
Fu Xiaoting's gaze fell on Yun Yang's retreating figure as she disappeared through the door.
A very faint smile curved the corners of his lips...
As soon as Yunyang stepped out, she caught a glimpse of the electric wheelchair gathering dust in the corridor.
Xiaoting has been keeping her phone unused ever since she had her hemorrhoids removed.
So she drove into the yard.
No wonder Xiaoting likes it; it's so pleasant to walk around sitting down.
If I had one of these when I was in college, I wouldn't have to worry about running around campus.
I can collect all the classmates' phones at once and even earn some extra money, hehe.
They hadn't gone more than a few steps when they almost bumped into a "mysterious person".
The other person was completely covered up from head to toe, wearing a black mask and a black knitted hat with the brim pulled down very low, revealing only a pair of panicked blue eyes.
Dressed like that, someone who didn't know better would think he was a thief scouting the place.
Yun Yang subconsciously took a step back and assumed a defensive stance.
"Housekeeper, what are you doing?"
Hey bro, you still need a pair of black contact lenses, you know that?
Gukiro's eyes were full of sincerity.
"I've brought you the bracelet I promised you yesterday, Madam."
As he spoke, he carefully took out something wrapped in red cloth from his pocket.
The red cloth was wrinkled, with dark edges, making it look very suspicious.
In Yun Yang's mind, the image of Jujiro holding up the red underwear last night flashed by instantly.
Her face turned pale instantly.
What respectable lady would give a gift to her future daughter-in-law without using a fancy box, instead of just a tattered piece of red cloth!
She reasonably suspected that Giukiro was just trying to annoy her in another way.
Without a second thought, she pulled out a pistol from her back waist and pointed the dark muzzle directly at Giukio.
"Put it back!"
Her voice was cold and urgent.
"I don't want it! Put it back in my pocket right now!"
"Someone come here! Someone come here! Housekeeper Ju's illness has relapsed! Quickly help him back to rest!"
At Yun Yang's command, several bodyguards rushed out from both ends of the corridor.
Seeing this, the bodyguards didn't bother to ask any more questions. Two of them grabbed the still-unresponsive Giulio and dragged him toward the ward.
Giulio was still clutching the red cloth in his hand, completely stunned.
"No! Butler Yun! Let me explain! It's not what you think!"
However, his explanation quickly faded at the end of the corridor.
Yun Yang watched him being dragged away, then breathed a sigh of relief, still shaken, and put away her gun.
That really scared me to death.
"Miss Yun's prestige is growing stronger and stronger."
A cheerful voice came from the side.
Yun Yang turned her head and saw Zhang Yan leaning against the wall not far away, smiling at her.
"Now even the housekeeper dares to point a gun at him. It seems he's about to become the true owner of this house."
Yun Yang twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled.
"You're not trying to say that this is all thanks to you, are you?"
Zhang Yan walked over slowly, his face still bearing that gentle and harmless smile.
"That's the truth, isn't it?"
He stood in front of Yun Yang, his gaze intense.
"Although it was a lucky accident, the housekeeper can't manage the household. Aren't you the one in charge here? I helped you, so shouldn't you do me a favor in return?"
"After all, we come from the same world."
He paused for a moment, then stated his purpose directly.
"I want to see the gentleman."
Upon hearing this, Yun Yang immediately put on a very troubled expression.
She leaned closer and lowered her voice.
"Oh dear, Dr. Zhang, it's not that I don't want to help you."
"I really have the will but not the ability."
She sighed, her expression as sincere as could be.
"Think about it, who is the master's most valued person? It's the housekeeper!"
"You poisoned someone with a pot of soup, causing them to die in public and lose all face. Besides, that soup was originally meant for the master."
Do you think the gentleman might be completely unguarded around you right now?
Zhang Yan wasn't annoyed by her words, but simply said, "Yesterday, the system had a bug and the toxicity analysis of the soup was incorrect. I didn't expect it to turn out like that."
Yun Yang reached out and patted his shoulder earnestly.
"Little brother, listen to your sister's advice."
"Your system is half like Shakespeare—a complete idiot. The fact that it managed to lose you proves it's completely unreliable. You can't trust it completely."
The moment Yun Yang uttered those words, the system in Zhang Yan's mind exploded.
"No, this matter can't be resolved, right?"
[Aaaaaah! She's sowing discord! She's slandering me! Host, don't believe her!]
"Dr. Zhang, I'm hungry, I'm going to eat now."
Yun Yang seemed oblivious to the system's roar and maneuvered her wheelchair away.
Zhang Yan's temples throbbed from the screaming in her head.
He frowned in frustration and mentally yelled at the system: "If you're so capable, go and curse her from inside her head!"
The system's sharp roar abruptly stopped.
After a few seconds, it muttered softly in a pitiful, even fearful tone.
I have trypophobia.
I can't stand her; she's so cunning and manipulative.
Zhang Yan: "..."
waste.
He asked himself again: "Did you just confirm? Does she still possess the ability to read minds?"
The system remained silent for a moment.
No, but I assure you it was definitely on her at first.
Zhang Yan's eyes grew deep and unfathomable.
Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not...
After Zhang Yan turned and left, Yun Yang quietly peeked out from behind a huge Roman column not far away.
For some reason, she suddenly had a strong premonition.
Mind-reading ability and Xiaoting—one of them will eventually be exposed.
And very soon...
As Yun Yang was pondering this, a warm chest suddenly pressed against her back, and then, without warning, a pair of hands reached out from behind and covered her eyes.
A deep, slightly teasing voice pressed against her earlobe, the warm breath tickling her ear.
"You just kissed me, and your eyes are already glued to another man, huh?"
