Chapter 403 Limited Time Mission
Wen Shuqiao touched the jade pendant hanging around his neck.
Shen Jiazhou blinked and asked, "I designed it. Does it look good?"
Wen Shuqiao put down his hand and asked hoarsely, "Why did you think of giving me the jade?"
"Isn't it said that jade can nourish people?" Shen Jiazhou said as he picked her up and said softly, "And wearing it around your neck won't affect your work. My family has made other jewelry with this jade. You can take them off slowly when you get home."
This piece of jade was bought at an auction with Shen Jiachen in the early years. He planned to give it to his mother, but after his mother received it, she gave it back, saying that it was for his daughter-in-law. He hadn't even thought about getting married at that time, so the jade was kept in the safe.
Since his birthday, he has been thinking about what to give Wen Shuqiao. He originally wanted to buy a ready-made item, but suddenly remembered this piece of jade, so he asked a designer to design a set of jewelry that would be perfect for Wen Shuqiao.
He also said: "This jade was originally intended for my mother, but my mother asked me to leave it to my wife."
Wen Shuqiao buried her face in his arms: "We haven't gotten married yet."
"It's only a matter of time." Shen Jiazhou hummed a little tune happily: "Why, are you going to cheat me after you've eaten me up? Wen Shuqiao, don't dream. I told you before that I will haunt you like a ghost."
Wen Shuqiao hit him with a punch: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Shen Jiazhou laughed quietly.
He put Wen Shuqiao on the bed and kissed her: "I'll go turn off the lights."
Wen Shuqiao was so tired that she had no strength left. She hummed, moved inside, and pulled the quilt for Cancan.
Cancan seemed to sense something and opened his eyes dazedly: "Auntie?"
Before Wen Shuqiao could respond, Cancan fell asleep again. The confused sound just now sounded like a dream talk.
Wen Shuqiao yawned and closed his eyes. A few seconds later, someone lifted the quilt and squeezed in.
Shen Jiazhou buried his face in her hair, took a deep breath of her breath, and then muttered, "Don't turn your back on me."
Wen Shuqiao had no choice but to turn over and lie flatter. Shen Jiazhou then hugged her, put his lips against the side of her neck, and gave her a few gentle kisses. Finally, he raised his head slightly and pressed his warm lips against the jade pendant on her chest.
Wen Shuqiao raised his hand and touched his head: "Go to sleep."
Shen Jiazhou then nodded, and fell asleep with her, lying on the same pillow.
The only sound in the room was the sound of gentle breathing.
*
It's a dream.
Wen Shuqiao was very clear that he was in a dream.
She walked in a white fog that seemed to have no end. She looked around, but there was nothing and no one.
She frowned, and continued walking forward with 200% vigilance in her mind.
I don’t know how long I walked aimlessly like this. Just when Wen Shuqiao wanted to stop and rest, I heard a ding-dong sound in my ears.
【System connecting...】
system?
Wen Shuqiao's brows furrowed even more tightly.
Before she could think about it, the electronic voice continued: [Host Wen Shuqiao has been detected, and the current task is being evaluated. Please wait. ]
Host? She?
Wen Shuqiao had also read some novels, so she naturally knew what the host system was. She looked up again, and gradually, the scenery in front of her began to change.
The first scene is the store where she won the lottery?
And "she" was passing by the door.
As if it was a TV drama, Wen Shuqiao watched "himself" casually buy three lottery tickets, and then come out of the prize redemption center.
[The first phase rewards have been issued, please check...]
After hearing this sentence, Wen Shuqiao saw an extra “√” and “×” in front of his eyes.
Wen Shuqiao hesitated for a moment and clicked the "√" icon. Immediately, the picture in front of him changed again.
This time the scene is in the park. She stops in front of a crystal stall. The stall owner gives her a transparent bracelet and asks her if she is happy now.
[The second phase rewards have been issued, please check...]
It’s still “√” and “×”.
Wen Shuqiao was silent for a moment. She felt that the reward could not be just a bracelet, so she clicked an "×".
I don’t know if it was because I clicked the “×” too quickly, but the screen froze for a moment, but it disappeared quickly.
After following the instructions, the scene in front of me changed again.
Now it has turned into a huge electronic screen with a... smiling face on it?
Wen Shuqiao took a half step back, and the electronic screen began to fluctuate with codes, and began to speak: "Host, don't be nervous. I am Perfect Life System 098, your system."
"098?" Wen Shuqiao hesitantly called out three numbers.
The electronic screen immediately turned into a smiling face again: "Host, I'm here! You can ask me if you need anything or have any questions! By the way, host, please sit down!"
After it finished speaking, a sofa chair appeared next to Wen Shuqiao, which looked very comfortable.
Wen Shuqiao pursed her lips slightly, and in just a few seconds she calmed down. She walked to the sofa and sat down, then raised her head slightly and asked, "Is it because of you that I appear in this novel?"
"Yes, host, and host, this is no longer a fictional world, this is a plane in the universe." 098 explained: "The world you originally lived in also belongs to a plane. You can also understand that your original world and the current world are two parallel time and space."
"Since you brought me here, why didn't you show up at the beginning?" Wen Shuqiao suddenly thought of the "brother" in Cancan's mind: "Were you in Cancan's mind before?"
The system was silent for a moment, and there was a hint of grievance in its electronic voice: "Host, the system in Cancan's mind is not me."
"Not you?" Wen Shuqiao frowned: "Is there another system in this world?"
"He is not a system." The system sighed: "Host, this is related to our last time-limited mission. Do you want to listen to me finish the mission first?"
There is one last time-limited mission? Wen Shuqiao hasn't even asked what the previous missions are.
But she still nodded: "Yeah."
"The final mission is now being issued. Please prepare yourself, host."
After the system finished speaking, words began to appear on the electronic screen in front of it.
[Limited time mission: Find Shen Shiyue
Mission time limit: ten days
Mission Reward: 50 million
May the host complete the task as soon as possible! 】
Wen Shuqiao stared at the screen several times and was a little confused. She said, "Chen Shiyue? Isn't Chen Shiyue Cancan?"
Why are you still looking for Cancan?
The electronic voice of the system sounded slowly: "Host, you just asked me who the system in Cancan's mind is. He is not a system, he is another Shen Shiyue."
