Chapter 16 The Sixteenth Day of Feeding the Boss Water
When 324 came back from work, the room was dark.

Where's the host? Is he asleep?
I lowered the brightness and went into the monster's mouth, only to see its beloved host sleeping peacefully.

324 bit the handkerchief with great pride. It took on so much responsibility quietly, wasn't it just to make its host happy?

To be honest, it's really not easy! Today, it cleaned up the data trash of 453 systems in the system cleaning company, which was really eye-catching.

None of them are orthodox.

Pooh!
After sighing for a while, 324 tucked in the quilt for the host. Just as he was about to go back to his nest to sleep, he turned around -

"Tong, please start your sophistry!"

A chill spread from behind him, and 324, covered in data, shivered.

[Host, host? 】

【(д;)】

"324, shouldn't you explain to me why I went to the boss after I fell asleep, and he told me that three days had passed."

"What are you hiding from me? All~"

"You tell me, I promise I won't be angry."

Oops! I was so busy working and repairing the bear kettle that I forgot to adjust the flow of time!

The host looked a little scary in the dim light. 324 smiled awkwardly and turned on the light:
[Host, please listen to my excuse! ]

[What happened was...ah this and that...]

"Can't you come up with a plausible excuse?"

Yue Lizhi stood up and leaned against the head of the bed, looking at 324 with a half-smile: "I have a bold idea. In fact, Ji Shuchen and I are from two different worlds!"

324: ...

"Let me guess again. Ji Shuchen should be a figure similar to the Son of Luck of the World. So not only can your system not directly interfere in human affairs, but you should not be able to get close to the Son of Luck at all!"

324Shock!!!

However, the host's sweat-inducing reasoning continued.

"This USB flash drive incident should be a disaster that Ji Shuchen must go through. Because I participated and intervened, the pain is the price I paid."

"And you..."

Yue Lizhi grabbed the trembling 324 and smiled: "I forgot to adjust the time flow rate of the two worlds, am I right?"

Stop talking, stop talking!

The data pants are about to be stripped clean!
The host doesn't look like a smart person! How did he guess so accurately?
324 rubbed Yue Lizhi's palm flatteringly:
[Host, please listen to my excuse! ]

"Don't quibble! Logically speaking, the system is bound to the host, and both parties should restrict each other. So my right to know is not guaranteed by you? Can I complain?"

Ah ah ah ah ah!

324 He slid down on Yue Lizhi’s palm, holding her index finger and repenting desperately!

[Host! I am guilty! I wanted to explain that day, but didn’t something unexpected happen with the boss? ]

Yue Lizhi raised an eyebrow, with a look of "Stop lying to me" written all over her face: "Hmm? But you didn't tell me after you came back."

[Because you were sleepy, you asked me to stay aside, and I didn’t say anything. Later, I felt that it was too troublesome to explain. Anyway, the host had already started the task, so I just…]

【(Д`)】

Yue Lizhi felt a little guilty after hearing the first half, but later he speechlessly wanted to throw the little ball of light in front of him away.

"You are so lazy!"

【(′~`;)】

The little light ball continued to complain:

[Then the host intervened in this incident. Without knowing the fate of the overbearing boss, the host was willing to help. I am a little afraid that the host will know the follow-up...]

Yue Lizhi was silent.

"So, Ji Shuchen's future fate..."

[It’s tragic for humans.]

Yue Lizhi smiled, trying to hide her mistake: "I may not help you! I just acted on impulse this time and thought I was the heroine of a novel! It hurts so much, how could there be a next time?" [But my brother said that the country where the host lives educates every child very well, and they all have the kindness and courage to help others. ]

【We must take precautions before problems occur. 】

Okay, she admits that.

"What about you? Did I cause any trouble by my rash intervention this time?"

Feeling that she had escaped a disaster, the small ball of light flew out from Yue Lizhi's palm and circled around her:
[No, the system did not intervene directly. This can be regarded as the butterfly effect caused by binding to the host. It's just that the pocket money points I saved before were deducted because I had to repair the bear kettle.]

"if……"

"I mean, what would happen if I couldn't help but intervene? Would it implicate you?"

Yue Lizhi herself felt that she was very strange. Maybe people are born with a desire to save others. Who hasn’t had a few immature dreams of being a savior when they were young?

[Just like this time, the system's task is just to feed the boss water. As long as the bear water bottle is not damaged, 324 will not be deducted points.]

【But the host will feel very painful. 】

The little ball of light flashed, and the speed of speech became faster and faster, anxiously trying to dispel Yue Lizhi's thoughts:
[Every time the host goes to that world, it is the soul. If the pain exceeds the threshold that the soul can bear, the host will have no future.]

[Therefore, 324 will never tell the host what will happen next. ]

Hearing this, Yue Lizhi didn't say anything nor did he say no. He took out his cell phone to check the time as if to avoid it. It was twelve o'clock in the morning.

"Would you like a late night snack?"

324 was stunned by the sudden change of topic. Feeling that its host had changed his mind, it flew up and down happily.

【eat! 】

However, even with the temptation of delicious food, 324's curiosity could not be concealed:
[Host, how can you guess so accurately? ]

Yue Lizhi was happy that the system had diverted his attention. While searching through boxes and cabinets for food, he replied, "The total number of novels I've read is longer than your data bar! I can guess the general idea by just applying a few settings."

[Are there so many? The host is amazing! ]

【(ˊωˋ*)”】

……

It was already very late after having supper yesterday, and it was rare for 324 to stay in bed with her until noon.

After dinner, 324 said that he wanted to go to work, and said that the work of the system cleaning company was harmful to its core processor, so he planned to go to the system security company this time.

Yue Lizhi continued to type and eat as usual, as if the inner struggle of the previous day was just a dream.

But for some reason, Yue Lizhi did not take a nap today, and even kept postponing going to bed at night.

Maybe she is not as carefree as she appears.

After tossing and turning for a long time, Yue Lizhi finally fell into a drowsy sleep.

But this time when she opened her eyes, she was not in the small storage box, but lying in Ji Shuchen's arms, and the warm feeling was continuously transmitted to her.

Facing Ji Shuchen's chest and listening to his heart beating strongly, Yue Lizhi suddenly felt sore in her eyes.

Unconsciously, I wanted to be closer to him.

As soon as Yue Lizhi made a move, Ji Shuchen woke up with a start. He hugged the little guy tightly in his arms, and said anxiously with relief: "Why did you wake up so late today? Is the injury you suffered that day not healed yet?"

With the dim light of the night light, Yue Lizhi saw the concern and worry in Ji Shuchen's eyes and shook her head.

It was still that cute little bear face, but Ji Shuchen felt like the little guy in his arms was about to break. The heartache and pity that surged from the bottom of his heart made him at a loss.

I just hugged the little guy tightly and coaxed him gently: "Baby, did you have a nightmare? It's okay, I will always be with you."

"Uncle Yu and Aunt Liu also care about you very much. They wanted to wait with me for you to wake up, but they are old, so I sent them to bed."

"I lied to them and said that our baby hates old people who don't go to bed on time the most."

"Guess what, Uncle Yu said that even if he took sleeping pills, he couldn't make our baby hate him."

"..."

The gentle and magnetic voice chattered about the little things she had missed tonight, like a pair of soft hands enough to soothe all the uneasiness.
