The man frowned and looked at the person in his arms for a long moment, then a look of understanding finally appeared on his face. He picked him up again and carried him into the bathroom under Ji Xinghe's puzzled gaze.
After entering the bathroom, the man put Ji Xinghe down and straightened him up with both hands. Just as the boy was about to cling to him again, he put a finger on his forehead and said coldly, "Stand still."
Ji Xinghe, who was being held by a hand, stood there feeling a little aggrieved. But before he could make the next move, a stream of cold water was poured over his head.
Ji Xinghe shivered reflexively. Although he still felt uncomfortable under the continuous flushing of cold water from top to bottom, the heat from inside and outside caused by the medicine was relieved a lot, and his mind became much clearer.
After all this trouble, Ji Xinghe's eyes, which had been closed, had already opened. He was shivering with cold. "Enough, enough, I'm fine now. No, no more watering."
The man stopped and carefully observed Ji Xinghe for a moment. After confirming that he was indeed fine, he nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave. However, as soon as he turned around, his sleeve was grabbed by Ji Xinghe, "Your Excellency, I cannot express my gratitude for your kindness. May I know your name and where you live?"
The man shook his head, ignored his question, took Ji Xinghe's hand from his sleeve, and wanted to continue walking forward.
"You may not believe it, but you remind me of someone." Ji Xinghe picked up the bath towel beside him and wiped his hair. The weather was still a little cold, and if he didn't pay attention, he would easily get sick.
Ji Xinghe wiped himself as he walked out of the bathroom with the man. Before passing by the dressing mirror, he deliberately looked at himself. His eyes were full of charm, his face was rosy, and he looked like a fairy. He didn't wear a mask, so why didn't this person react at all?
Ji Xinghe felt that he was frightened by Zhao Zhenlin Jingze and others. Isn't it better that they didn't react? If the man really wanted to do something to him, wouldn't he have taken advantage of the situation just now?
Despite his thoughts, Ji Xinghe still had a bigger question in his mind: how did this man know where he lived? He had just sent him home without even asking. And why did this man appear at the Twilight Bar, right when he was being ambushed by Lin Jingze? And why did he save him earlier?
Ji Xinghe had previously speculated whether the man had some unspeakable secrets, but now it seemed that this speculation could be discarded. This person came just for him!
Otherwise it can't explain what happened today.
Ji Xinghe said honestly, it feels bad to have someone watching your every move somewhere unknown to you without you noticing at all.
In the end, Ji Xinghe really felt that the man gave him a very familiar feeling.
"Tong'er, I really feel that this person is very familiar. Can you help me think about whether I have seen him before but forgot about it?" Ji Xinghe asked in his mind.
The system didn't respond at all.
Ji Xinghe frowned and spoke again, "Tongtongtong? Are you there? Your dear host is calling you? It's urgent, are you there?"
Ji Xinghe kept harassing the system, but to no avail. The system didn't even respond to him. Ji Xinghe thought this was abnormal.
Although the system usually ignored him when he talked to it, that was because he was chatting nonsense with the system. From the beginning, no matter what he said, the system couldn't respond. Now, even if he talked a lot of nonsense to the system, he could get a response from time to time. Ji Xinghe felt that the system's attitude towards him was gradually getting better.
Until now, the system has never ignored him when he talked to the system about serious matters, and there has never been a situation like today where the system couldn't get a response no matter how hard he tried.
And last time, he was brought to Zhao Zhen by Ji Hao. He thought the system really wouldn't help him and he could only rely on himself, but the system unexpectedly opened the door for him.
From that day on, Ji Xinghe knew that the system was not just a program without emotions or thoughts. To his host, he could be described as being hard on the outside but soft on the inside.
Since he'd been willing to help him last time despite his own nonsense when things weren't so urgent, it made no sense that this time, he was about to be utterly destroyed by Lin Jingze, and yet the system hadn't reacted at all. The bond between a person and the system only deepened, never regressed.
Oh, right. Actually, that was the case last time, when he was kidnapped by Feng Ling. Both times, the situation was much more urgent than the first, but the system still had no reaction.
Thinking in this way, Ji Xinghe was suddenly shocked.
Could it be that the system was punished for making an exception and helping him last time? That's why it didn't react at all these two times.
The system had previously explained its so-called code of conduct, and how it was created by humans. Since it was created by humans, the creators would surely have imposed various restrictions on the system, perhaps including a rule prohibiting unauthorized assistance to the system.
If the system really helped him violate the regulations before, what kind of punishment would he receive?
The more Ji Xinghe thought about it, the more he blamed himself. How could he have become someone else's host? His own system had already acted abnormally twice, and he had only just discovered it. He didn't know if the punishment for the system was severe enough.
That's why he was so nervous last time and said something to the system like he was going to die or have a mental breakdown and jump off the building, which made the system believe it and actually take action.
If anything went wrong with the system because of this, Ji Xinghe would blame himself for the rest of his life. This was supposed to be his business, not the system's. Look at other hosts, all-powerful, pampered by their own systems into winners in life, yet he was the one who was so useless that he needed the system's help.
His thoughts were scattered to the sky, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was probably true. Ji Xinghe, who had only met his own host, reflected in his heart, I am really not a qualified host, I am sorry for my system!
The man looked at Ji Xinghe's ever-changing expressions with curiosity, trying to analyze how much regret, sorrow, worry, and self-blame were in them, and tried to form a fan-shaped statistical chart.
The final scene was fixed on Ji Xinghe's dejected expression. The man's heart skipped a beat. Why was he still unhappy? Wasn't everything already fine? He had never seen Ji Xinghe so dejected and sad before, and for a moment he was at a loss.
Did what happened today hit him hard? So hard that he still hasn't recovered?
The man's lips pursed slightly, forming a stern arc. He seemed to have kicked a little too hard just now, and should have kicked harder.
Ji Xinghe kept pestering the system in his mind. Even a dead person would have been aroused by his annoyance by now, but the system remained motionless, giving him no response at all. This made Ji Xinghe, who had originally only been speculating, panic. He didn't even notice the living person standing next to him.
"System? Tong'er? Say something? Stop ignoring me."
"Tong'er, how are you now? You should at least tell me before you leave. I don't know how you are doing now."
"System, don't scare me. I told you I'm timid and can't help being scared. System, I'm a little scared now."
Even after all this talk, the system still didn't respond. Ji Xinghe had basically confirmed that the system had malfunctioned and would probably be unable to hear him for the time being. He just didn't know how long this situation would last.
According to the pattern of the second time he was kidnapped, when he woke up the next day after escaping danger, the system had returned intact. This is why he didn't notice any abnormalities before.
So, is it the same this time?
"What are you thinking about?" Finally, the man couldn't help but ask.
Ji Xinghe, "Hmm?"
At this time, Ji Xinghe's cell phone rang again.
"Hello?" Ji Xinghe picked up the phone absentmindedly.
It was Zhao Wan. Her tone sounded very bad, with a hint of menace, as if she was here to accuse him. "Why didn't you go and save Xiaoxin when she called you today? Do you know that by the time your dad passed away, it was too late? If it weren't for..., Xiaoxin's life would be ruined! She's your biological sister, do you have any conscience?"
Ji Xinghe was in no mood to play tricks on her now. "Yes, yes, I have no conscience. But is she my biological sister or my biological mother? Why don't you have any conscience towards me? I'm not your punching bag. If you don't love me, there are plenty of people who do.
I heard you lost me back then, didn't you? How come you haven't shown me any motherly kindness or remorse since I returned to the Ji family? I think you've all got it wrong. I'm not your biological child, and I'm not a member of your Ji family, so my conscience is none of your business. If you're in the mood to accuse me now, why not focus on whether your daughter is suffering from any psychological trauma?
That’s it, I’m hanging up now.”
If it were in the past, Ji Xinghe would have turned a blind eye to Zhao Wan's words because she was her nominal mother and because of the poor little thing that was frozen to death there. But today he was in a bad mood, and with Zhao Wan's call, Ji Xinghe felt like all his good intentions had been wasted.
However, this thought only lasted for a moment, and then Ji Xinghe put it out of his mind.
Even if it wasn't Ji Xin today, but just a stranger he didn't know, as long as he knew, he would still make the same choice. This choice had nothing to do with others, it was just because Ji Xinghe didn't want to become the kind of person he hated the most when he was a child when he grew up.
That kind of indifferent adult.
Ji Xinghe hung up the phone, and a hand suddenly reached out and placed it on his forehead. After a moment's pause, he heard the man say with certainty, "You have a fever."
"I have a fever?" Ji Xinghe shook his head, feeling a little dizzy. Then he sneezed loudly.
He waved at the man and said, "It's okay. I'll take some cold medicine and have a good sleep." He was so preoccupied with the lawsuit that he had no time to go to the hospital.
The man looked at him with disapproval. If this body had a fever, it would definitely be a high fever. No one knew it better than him.
"Go to the hospital." The man did not mean to ask Ji Xinghe.
"I don't need it, I don't..."
Before Ji Xinghe could finish his words, the man picked him up by the buttocks like a child, and then lifted his legs to go out.
Where does this overbearing CEO come from? Hugging at the slightest disagreement?
"Wait, wait a minute, let me change my clothes first, okay? My clothes are wet and going out will make me sicker." Ji Xinghe struggled to delay time.
The man put him down after hearing this, but he had no intention of avoiding him. He just stood there waiting for Ji Xinghe to change his clothes. He had seen every part of this man's body.
Ji Xinghe was speechless. He walked slowly towards the bedroom holding the clothes he found out of the closet.
Why is he walking so slowly? The man frowned and thought about changing his clothes for him. He was not sick and he could change quickly.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ji Xinghe suddenly turned around, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke, as if testing, "Tong'er?"
Um.
Um?
Um! ?
