Sun Wanying lowered her head, feeling uneasy. She could not tell anyone about the voices that only she could hear and the missions that threatened her life.
Qi Jing tilted his head to look at her and asked, "What did it make you do?"
Sun Wanying took a deep breath and didn't hide it. "I heard that voice on the day I returned home. It said that as long as I completed the task it issued, my illness would be cured."
Gu Zhou asked, "How many tasks have you completed?"
"Just three." Sun Wanying replied, her hand holding the teacup unconsciously tightened, but she did not elaborate on what the tasks were.
Three tasks?
Qi Jing raised his head to look at Gu Zhou, "What's the other one?"
Gu Zhou raised his eyebrows and roughly guessed, "Did you meet Qi Shuo?"
Sun Wanying nodded sullenly as a response to Gu Zhou's words. She was really embarrassed to say it out loud.
She didn't even know Qi Shuo, but she was bewitched by the system to get close to him. It felt so weird.
Moreover, the tasks issued by the system were not easy for her to complete. She was even more afraid that she would have to rely on those tasks to survive in the future.
But what about those missions? Would they become more and more numerous, and would they become increasingly out of line? She didn't even dare to think about it, and she was very resistant to those so-called missions.
Qi Shuo stood there silently without expressing any opinion, which was indeed not easy to do.
Gu Zhou pulled a chair over and sat down, saying bluntly, "We can remove the system from you, but we can't cure your illness."
Sun Wanying didn't say anything, her fingers curled up in silence.
Sun Wanying's reaction was not surprising. Gu Zhou continued, "Of course you can choose not to strip the system. I will help you complete simple tasks, but there is one thing I can't do."
Sun Wanying looked up in surprise, then looked at Qi Shuo who was standing there without saying a word. Was this considered pity for her?
Gu Zhou knocked on the table to draw Sun Wanying's attention back, "You can't go to bed!"
Gu Zhou's blunt remarks caused the whole place to fall silent. Sun Wanying was so shocked that she dropped the teacup in her hand, spilling the tea all over the table. She realized what was happening later and her cheeks flushed red.
Qi Shuo frowned and reminded her, "She's a girl!"
"I'm not blind, I can't tell the difference between a man and a woman." Gu Zhou said sarcastically, then smiled and leaned back, holding a talisman card between his fingers.
Gu Zhou said, "When you hold the card, you can hear the system's voice. I guess the system wants you to be together before issuing tasks. But not meeting each other all the time is not allowed. The system will probably deduct points or lifespan."
Qi Shuo didn't say anything. He didn't want to be bound by something inexplicable.
Seeing Qi Shuo's impatient look, Gu Zhou reminded him, "Or do you want to be the villain?"
Qi Shuo was silent. He didn't want to be a villain.
Without much thought, Qi Shuo walked forward and took the spell card, then went back to standing.
Sun Wanying sat there at a loss, not knowing what to say or who to look at.
Qi Jing held his face with his hands and looked at Sun Wanying, smiling at her, "You can get engaged, married, and get a marriage certificate, but you can't do anything bad."
Sun Wanying was even more confused and quickly explained, "I didn't think that."
"Just because you don't think so doesn't mean the system won't assign you a task." Gu Zhou said seriously, "I'm telling you this for no other reason than to let you know the scope of the task. If it's outside of this scope, avoid it if you can. If you can't, we'll see what to do next."
Sun Wanying nodded hesitantly, then shook her head, "No, why are you helping me?"
"I'm not helping you, you two are helping each other." Gu Zhou pointed at Qi Shuo, "He's in a bit of trouble right now and needs a girlfriend to cover for him. You're just asking for trouble."
Qi Shuo raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Zhou, "Is this okay?"
"Theoretically, it's possible. We'll talk about that later. Let's deal with her first." Gu Zhou looked at Sun Wanying again. "Take the next few days to understand the system's situation, the rules for issuing tasks, what the intentions are, and what points can be redeemed for. In short, the more detailed the better."
Sun Wanying nodded and explained in detail, "The first mission started on the day of binding, and the mission lasted for three days. The second mission was released after the first mission ended, and the mission lasted for three hours. The one after that lasted for one hour, and no more missions were released."
"Looking at it this way, the upper limit for completing tasks in a day is three, and the time limit for the tasks should be set by the distance between you and the situation on the spot." Gu Zhou briefly analyzed, "You can try to see how long it takes for that thing to issue you tasks after you go back this time."
"Okay, I'll try."
Sun Wanying agreed and was about to get up and leave. She felt embarrassed to stay any longer.
Gu Zhou did not stop her and let Sun Wanying leave.
Qi Mo closed the door again and sat down at the table with Qi Shuo. Qi Mo said, "Now let's talk about the boss and the Yuan family."
Qi Jing said, "Yuan Xiang has many red threads, one of which is very thick, and it is the true love."
"Isn't there only one red line?" Qi Shuo wondered. According to his understanding, this should be the case.
"It's not that simple. Few people only like one person in their life, and even if they do, they can't prevent others from liking them. When two people are in love, the red thread connecting them is called true fate, and the red thread is also the most obvious. Secretly in love, or being secretly loved, can also grow a red thread, binding the secret lover, or being bound by them.
Another possibility is foreknowledge, like what happened with Chu Xia and San Ge before. They are potential, and as long as they can get along, they can become each other's true love. However, this kind of red thread is also the most fragile, and any slight change will break the red thread.
Yuan Xiang has one true love, and several others are tied to her by others."
Qi Mo raised his eyebrows, "Since you have a true love, why are you still involved with the boss?"
"Let me tell you about the configuration of the heroine in a novel. There is the true love hero, the affectionate second male lead, the paranoid villain, and the spare tires one, two, and three. Unfortunately, big brother is the unlucky villain." Gu Zhou spread his hands. He had learned a lot by cramming.
The two brothers who don't read romance novels were silent, and the look in their eyes that they looked at each other was full of sympathy, which was very heartbreaking.
Qi Shuo sighed, "So Sun Wanying can help me avoid this bloody plot?"
"It's theoretically feasible," Gu Zhou explained. "According to the plot that Gu Xuanyi knows, the Qi family hasn't had the younger uncle for hundreds of years, and the Qi family fell apart a long time ago. By your generation, your eldest brother was a gangster, ruthless and merciless. The Yuan family sold Yuan Xiang to your eldest brother for money.
During this period, the male protagonist is still immature and unable to help the Yuan family. When the wedding date approaches, the male protagonist returns, Yuan Xiang escapes the marriage, and the eldest brother is furious. A series of kidnappings, targeting, and frame-ups will occur, and in the end, he is killed by the protagonists.
Qi Shuo held his forehead with a headache. He really didn't want to hear this, so he asked, "Where's the second brother's script?"
Qi Mo refused, "Don't tell me, I don't want to know."
