Volume 1_Chapter 180  Study Hard, Make Progress Every Day (24)

Until the next day, when she was moved from the ICU to an ordinary ward, Jiang Zhi didn't even acknowledge him, closed her eyes and lay on the bed like a lifeless fish without dreams, expressionlessly thinking about what to do next.

777 looked on, feeling especially heartbroken.

In the Host's view, it was rare to have a world where both Favorability and Hatred Value rose together, with Hatred Value increasing even faster than Favorability, and just as it was about to reach 100 points, it dropped to zero in an instant, forcing her to start building it up again.

Who could stand that?

"There's still a chance, Host, don't be upset," 777 whispered.

Jiang Zhi sneered inwardly.

Li Wen Nian, who had been constantly guarding her bedside, placed his fingers helplessly on his knees, recalling his actions during this period, and seeing Jiang Zhi's dejected state, felt as if a thousand‑ton boulder weighed on his chest, suffocating and painful.

"Sorry." He had said sorry countless times, head bowed, his voice growing softer and softer.

Jiang Zhi was tired, weary.

Love, do as you please.

Let's destroy it, hurry up.

Just lie flat and wait for death.

This body couldn't last long anyway; if Cheng Su hadn't saved her, the original owner would have died in the river pond during the cold winter of her middle‑school years in the town.

She had originally planned to strive to complete her mission in the remaining days, but she never expected that merely blocking a bullet for him would erase her Hatred Value, leaving her with neither person nor wealth.

"Li Wen Nian, let me go back," Jiang Zhi tried to struggle.

"Okay."

"?"

Jiang Zhi, thinking he would outright refuse, looked over in surprise and met the boy's cautious, obedient blue eyes.

Just because Favorability reached 100 points, how could a person undergo such an abnormal change??

This isn't just 100 points; it's practically a perverse modifier that directly alters one's personality.

Jiang Zhi couldn't help but add, "I don't want to see you again."

Now the boy fell silent.

She thought in agreement, "Exactly, that's how his nature should be."

His blond hair drooped limp like soft deer ears, his delicate brows and eyes spreading a feeling of loss and sorrow; after a while he spoke softly, "If Jiang Zhi doesn't want to see me, I will never appear before her again."

Jiang Zhi: "???"

She couldn't help asking the system, "Brother Seven, am I hallucinating, or am I dreaming now?"

777 gave her an electric shock.

The pain brought Jiang Zhi back to her senses—it wasn't a dream, it was the real world.

She looked at the boy before her, who seemed like a completely different person, and felt a slight headache.

It seemed that no matter how harshly she spoke or how she struck or scolded him, she could not increase his Hatred Value.

Li Wen Nian's Hatred Value could be said to be firmly locked!

No matter how she jumped around, it was useless.

"It's over, Brother Seven; I'm afraid I'll meet my end here."

777 reminded, "Host, this body of yours has less than a week left to live."

One week?

Jiang Zhi lay like a salted fish, staring at the ceiling.

Even a week can be used to do quite a few things.

First, she wanted to say goodbye to her relatives, then meet Cheng Su in person to thank him for saving her life in middle school.

Finally……

She turned her head to look at the boy trapped in sorrow, unable to extricate himself, and called out to interrupt his thoughts.

"Li Wen Nian."

"Jiang Zhi, what's wrong?"

"Please book me a ticket; I want to go back today."

Upon hearing that, Li Wen Nian anxiously stood up, the blond hair at his forehead swaying with his movement, and said, "No, your body still can't get out of bed and walk."

Jiang Zhi reached out her arm to him: "Then hold me."

Li Wen Nian's cheeks flushed inexplicably; he stood frozen for a long while, then the corners of his mouth lifted into an uncontainable bright smile, and he awkwardly said, "Okay."

He is flawless in fighting, intellect, and scheming, but in every other respect he's practically an idiot.

After realizing he liked Jiang Zhi, even the few times he sneakily glanced at her and got caught, he would panic and avert his gaze, making his attempt to hide his feelings utterly transparent.

Being carried by him, she boarded a private helicopter; on the way she slept, and an IV drip still hung from the back of her hand.

Li Wen Nian stared intently at her face, not looking away for a second, his throat working as he licked his dry lips, wanting to kiss her cheek.

After holding back as long as he could, he finally leaned in and gave her a quick kiss; just as he was about to sit up straight, pretending nothing had happened, a cool, faint voice sounded in his ear.

He tried to hold back but couldn't; he bent down and gave a quiet kiss, just as he was about to sit up straight while pretending nothing had happened, when a faint, clear, cold voice sounded in his ear.

Li Wen Nian's face flushed red, his eyes darting, he became fidgety and stammered, "I didn't, I didn't do anything."

"You're lying," Jiang Zhi glanced at him sideways.

Afraid of making her angry, Li Wen Nian volunteered without prompting: "I kissed… I kissed Jiang Zhi."

Jiang Zhi gave a bland "oh."

Seeing that she wasn't angry, the boy's narrow fox‑like eyes lifted, his azure irises rippling with a smile that came from the heart.

Jiang Zhi's face was soft and fragrant.

Zhizhi's face was soft and fragrant again.

He really likes.

Hope next time I can kiss Zhizhi's…… chin!

If Jiang Zhi heard his thoughts, she'd probably laugh until her persona collapses.

The most idiotic villain.

Within a day, it was parked on the apron at Jiangcheng.

She was held by Li Wen Nian the whole way to the waiting car, then followed the address to the front of the Xi family villa.

This time she wasn't allowed to be held by Li Wen Nian entering; instead she sat in a wheelchair, and he pushed her into the villa.

Upon seeing her, Butler Xu almost fainted from excitement, tears in his eyes as he spoke about the changes in the Xi family.

After the gunfight on the pedestrian street that day, her last silhouette vanished before the hospital's surveillance camera; afterwards the Xi family mobilized all forces to search for her whereabouts, but received not a single word.

Madam Xi, who was already seriously ill and hospitalized, fainted upon hearing this news and has not yet awakened; her parents have been searching everywhere, Jiang Mu also fell ill, and Xi Ye's father is currently caring for her in the hospital.

Jiang Zhi has visited many worlds and completed numerous missions; she inevitably has some feelings for her relatives.

She knows she will definitely leave here someday, so she will try not to develop feelings for them.

But how could one possibly have no feelings for relatives they live with day in and day out? That would not be human, but a beast.

So upon hearing this news, Jiang Zhi felt a sour ache in her chest, thinking of going to see them one last time.

Standing beside her, Li Wen Nian sensed the sorrow emanating from her and unconsciously placed his hand over the back of her hand resting on the wheelchair armrest.

This was probably the first time he had ever comforted someone in his life—awkward and stiff.

Jiang Zhi asked Butler Xu for the address and went to the hospital where they were.

First she went to see the unconscious Madam Xi, who was also the eldest lady of the Xi family who had cared for her the most and been kindest to her.

The elderly lady lay in bed, her hair all white, traces of time covering her face, making her look especially weathered and kind.
