"System, how much longer until I can go back?" Su Chen lay on the large, white, and soft bed in the space, one hand supporting her chin and the other swiping her phone, idly playing level 1551 of a match-3 game.
"Hmm...almost there, almost there." The system was randomly pressing buttons on a machine that had popped up out of nowhere, using its dog paws.
This is the nth time the dog system has said the same thing.
Su Chen glanced at him sideways, "Is there something seriously wrong with the body in this world?"
"What other problems could there be? Zombies are inanimate objects, so even a penetrating wound to the chest should be a minor issue for you," the dog system said, pursing its lips.
"I suspect your soul is too fragile. One stab and you're out... You're so weak..." the system lamented.
Su Chen slammed her phone down with a "snap" and said coldly, "Then why is my soul so fragile?"
"Because..." The system covered its head.
"Then let me ask you another question. Why haven't you sent me back into your body yet?" Su Chen rested her chin on her hand, looking at him leisurely.
system:……
He should just pretend he didn't hear it.
After Su Chen watched three melodramatic TV series, the system said she could go back.
Before leaving the space, Su Chen took a big gulp of soda.
Holy crap! My stockpiled iced cola!
Upon seeing the empty bottle, the system felt as if it could hear its own heart breaking.
...
"You're awake?!"
The first thing that catches the eye is Tao Wu's face, which is filled with unrestrained excitement and joy.
"Hmm..." This side of Tao Wu is... so strange.
"Are you hungry?" he asked eagerly.
"You forgot, I won't be hungry."
Tao Wu fell silent after hearing this, and quietly put down the porridge he had warmed countless times.
"System, I suddenly feel a little sorry for the villain... By the way, can't I really eat human food?" As she spoke, Su Chen swallowed.
You're just greedy, don't make excuses.
Su Chen: The truth is out...
Forget about eating human food, unless you want to die.
Su Chen: It's better to live a wretched life than to die a good death...
"I'm terrified," Tao Wu said, his voice trembling slightly.
"I'm so afraid you'll just fall asleep and never wake up again..."
Su Chen felt a surge of tenderness welling up inside her as she looked into his wet eyes.
She walked over and ruffled his hair haphazardly. "I'm awake now, aren't I? Don't be scared, don't be scared~"
[Host, you're treating this like a child.]
Unexpectedly, Tao Wu took the opportunity to put his arm around her waist and buried his head in her chest, which Su Chen could not break free of no matter how hard she tried.
[Wow! Something's up! Should I excuse myself?] The system's gossip instincts ignited instantly.
Su Chen rolled her eyes, and just as she was about to start cursing, she realized that Tao Wu seemed a little off.
His breathing was unsteady, and his shoulders trembled uncontrollably. It was as if a gust of cold wind had blown in his face, making it hard to breathe and chilling him to the bone.
"What's wrong?" Su Chen asked in a low voice.
Tao Wu didn't say anything, but Su Chen felt a dampness on her stomach. He... cried?
"You cried?" Su Chen looked at the top of his head, her expression unusually dazed for a few seconds.
He didn't say anything, but kept his arm around her waist without moving.
"Don't cry..." Su Chen couldn't bear to see a man cry...
For some reason, whenever he cried, she felt a bittersweet, indescribable feeling in her heart.
She didn't know what that feeling was like, she just knew it wasn't very comfortable.
"Okay, your snot is all over my clothes." Su Chen's voice became very gentle at this moment, a gentleness that she herself did not even realize.
