Ring ring.
The phone rang incessantly beside her. Fu Ziran buried her face in the pillow and fumbled for it for a long time. Ye Qiuling, who had already come out of the treatment pod and was in a daze, saw that she didn't seem to have any intention of turning off the alarm, so she simply turned it off for her. "Go back to sleep, there's nothing else for you to do."
"Okay... Remember to drink the healing potion..."
After speaking in a daze, Fu Ziran turned over and fell asleep again.
After tucking the blankets in for the person, Ye Qiuling returned to her room, took a shower, changed her clothes, and stood on the balcony with her back to the room. Looking at the room that seemed so out of place with her, she concealed the bitterness in her eyes.
I like floor-to-ceiling windows with plenty of sunlight. Ideally, I'd like to wake up and open the curtains to see the view outside. I love flowers and plants and hope my balcony will be full of them. If I have the money, I'd like to get a dog or a cat. When I get older, I'd like to settle down in a nice little village and spend my days planting flowers, fishing, and playing with the kids.
She agreed to everything.
But there was no chance anymore.
She destroyed it with her own hands.
Lying on the carefully arranged bed, Ye Qiuling choked back tears and buried her face in the pillow.
A silent collapse.
She wiped her face and calmed herself down for a while before sitting on the bed to compose herself. She still had grudges to settle and she needed to find out who had plotted against her in her past life.
There was a knock on the door.
Knock knock—
"What's up?"
"Why didn't you take your medicine? This medicine isn't bad; it's strawberry flavored."
After Fu Ziran finished speaking, he muttered to himself, "Who has so much free time? They're not afraid of ruining the medicine by adding other impurities. As long as it works, that's all that matters. Why bother with the taste? They must have gone to a lot of trouble. I really want to meet them."
Ye Qiuling twitched her ears, opened the door, took the medicine, and then immediately closed the door again.
Seeing the familiar light pink liquid, she suddenly opened her personal terminal to contact Jun Yuyuan, only to find that she had been blocked.
"Fu Ziran!"
"Hey, what's up?" "Can you get in touch with Jun Yuyuan?"
"It's not time to buy the medicine yet, why contact her?" Fu Ziran asked, puzzled, looking at Ye Qiuling's sudden outburst.
“Call her.”
"Okay, sure."
Fu Ziran obediently did as instructed.
Beep beep—
"I've been blocked."
Undeterred, he continued to fight several more times.
Fu Ziran stared blankly at Ye Qiuling.
"····knew."
Ye Qiuling picked up her clothes, got into her car, and drove away from the base.
Heading towards the Jun family's direction.
The snow-white Samoyed was rolling around and barking in a cozy garden:
"Xia Shizhao!!! Wake up! You've slept for twenty hours! Get up now!"
Still half asleep, Xia Shizhao rubbed his messy hair and opened the door. He paused for a moment when he saw the garden, then looked at the Samoyed in the garden with surprise, "System?"
"Oh, you're finally awake! I've finished everything for you, you can check it now."
The Samoyed wagged its tail and circled around Xia Shizhao.
Xia Shizhao squatted down and stroked its soft head. His eyebrows were curved, his temperament was peaceful, and his eyes sparkled. "Finally, I can raise a fluffy pet. Before, I could only pet it at the pet store."
"Don't you allow pets at home?"
"No, some people are allergic to animal fur."
"Oh, then touch it more~"
The Samoyed lay down, opening its soft belly to Xia Shizhao, and nuzzled her ankle with its furry head.
"I can't keep calling you 'System,' do you have a name?"
"Huh? I don't have a name, I only have the code name fitnes4."
"fitness?"
"Uh-huh!"
"Hmm~ Good name. How about I give you a Chinese name?"
"Great! Great!"
"Little White~"
fitnes4's dog's face showed blatant disdain.
"Haha, just kidding, relax, be carefree and happy."
"That works!"
Xia Shizhao stood up and strolled around the garden, which was full of his favorite roses, with a white Samoyed following behind him.
Do you have any ingredients?
What ingredients?
Youyou's round eyes were full of confusion.
"······"
Xia Shizhao's lips twitched slightly. "I'm a human being, I need to eat."
"Huh? Oh! You're hungry?"
Youyou's tone was clearly terrified.
"No, I just feel like I should eat something."
"You scared me. I thought you would feel hungry here. If you were craving food, I wouldn't be able to make it for you... Roses are made of data, so even if I made food for you, you wouldn't be able to taste it."
"What about my training room?"
"...Um, after you leave...uh, um...Bai Lian."
Xia Shizhao's face immediately fell.
"Then I'll make the potions?"
"That's no problem. The system will automatically recognize the drug's data and analyze it. It's 100% accurate."
"That's fine. Can we go out two years earlier?"
“This…” Youyou hesitated for a moment, “It’s not really going to work.”
"Sigh, okay."
Xia Shizhao shrugged and gave in. Mainly, she didn't have the energy to chatter anymore. Although she had slept for twenty hours, she had spent at least half of that time dreaming, some about the present and some about the past.
At the age of six, she was adopted by a wealthy family, which changed her fate of being abandoned. Luck was accompanied by misfortune.
She had parents and a frail older sister, but after she came to live with them, her sister's health improved day by day.
Once during high school, she skipped class to go home and celebrate her sister's birthday. When she learned that she had been adopted because she was strong enough to protect her sister from disasters, she was so sad that she almost collapsed and even thought about suicide.
She was persuaded to come down, but her memory was hazy. She couldn't quite remember the person's face, only that the person was very gentle and spoke softly to her, describing a warm and happy home to her, which filled her with a little hope for the future.
So even now, she still longs for a home of her own. In her past life, she planned to wait for her sister to turn 26 before moving out on her own. But the day her sister turned 26 was the anniversary of her death.
Xia Shizhao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Bai Yun. This was her way of repaying their kindness in raising her. She didn't owe them anything. After all, her adoptive parents had satisfied her material needs in every aspect and given her enough care. Even if they had ulterior motives, they still allowed her to live a life of luxury.
Although she didn't spend much money, she saved it all honestly.
Youyou sat beside Xia Shizhao, watching her slowly swing on the swing, and she could tell that Xia Shizhao was very sad.
Not quite understanding human emotions, it tilted its head and cried out, "I want to play on the swing too!"
"ah?"
After standing there for a while and looking at the swing, and then at the size of the Samoyed, Xia Shizhao was in a dilemma. "Why don't you turn into a little Pomeranian? That way I can hold you on the swing."
"OK."
The half-human-sized Samoyed shrank into a white Pomeranian the length of a calf, looking like a freshly baked, soft baby.
"Youyou, will you have to leave when I go out?"
"Yes, I have to leave once my mission is complete."
"Okay, fine."
Xia Shizhao gently picked it up and put it on the swing, stroking its soft fur, humming a song, and watching the fish swimming slowly in the stream.
