Chapter 306: Volume 1 Chapter 306 You Are My System (16)

Jiang Zhi lurched forward, nearly bumping her head; as she stepped back to steady her dizzy head, her body suddenly disappeared and she reverted to the system.

Since completing a mission three years ago, the reward is that the time she spends outside the Character Card has no limit.

Unless Xie Xunze closes the Character Card, she will revert to the system.

"Axun! What are you doing?" she originally still wanted to enjoy the feeling of riding in the car.

Xie Xunze looked ahead, his thin lips slightly parting: "Don't disturb my driving."

Jiang Zhi muttered: "I'm not disturbing your driving at all."

Just worried about him, wanting to see how he was.

Xie Xunze said nothing more, focusing on driving, suppressing the restless heat spreading through his limbs.

Since that morning's sneak kiss, his mind uncontrollably recalled the sweetness and wetness of her lips and tongue, wanting to press her onto the seat and kiss her fiercely, hearing her pitiful, broken pleas for mercy.

As his level rose, Jiang Zhi could no longer hear his inner voice, making her feel she had failed as a system.

The youth was no longer as cute as a boy, filled with wild aggression.

Now he is just newly adult; if we wait until his villain peak, who knows how terrifying he would be.

Jiang Zhi examined his numbers over and over.

After the villain became an adult, her main quest changed.

Besides helping him complete his own main quest, she also needed to raise his Love Points and Hatred Value.

Love Points had already reached 100; Hatred Value fluctuated wildly, jumping wildly between 30 and 50, very unstable.

Mainly because Jiang Zhi hadn't given him a strong dose yet.

Compared to the first world, Jiang Zhi had become much more lenient toward the villain, first letting him sink a little into a honey‑soaked mire, only letting him taste the poison when he hit the bottom.

A lethal poison specially made for him.

An indestructible jeep drove on the highway, following the map toward Xintangshi.

Xintangshi lies in the southeastern mountainous region, where mudslides and mountain collapses often occur; after monsters appeared, ten years of flood irrigation left the city's buildings collapsed at the waist, turning the whole urban area into a monster playground, breeding countless monsters.

To get there, they must travel several kilometers.

Xie Xunze went a day and night without sleep, dark circles ringing his eyes; all three meals were eaten in the car—a compressed biscuit and a bottle of mineral water—quickly finished before he hit the road again.

Jiang Zhi suggested: "I'll drive; let me take the wheel for a while."

Xie Xunze said: "No need."

Life in the car was boring and unpleasant, lacking her favorite boxed meals; she could only hug the steering wheel while driving.

He didn't want her to suffer like that.

Once she reverted to the system, she would feel no hunger or fatigue.

By evening, he would find a place to rest and get a good sleep.

Jiang Zhi knew he was stubborn, but seeing his exhausted face made her feel reluctant.

"It's almost five; let's rest now." She feigned a yawn, urging him.

Xie Xunze tugged the corner of his mouth and said: "You don't need to worry about me; I'm not tired."

Jiang Zhi disagreed: "I see you're just forcing yourself."

Xie Xunze replied bewilderedly: "Yeah, me, forcing myself."

Jiang Zhi is the system; her mental storage is small, so she didn't catch his deeper meaning.

"Then you know it yourself—why not stop and rest?"

Xie Xunze turned the steering wheel, left the highway, and followed a quiet side road to a village.

The village had endured over a decade of apocalyptic devastation, yet its buildings remained intact as before the apocalypse—except for the absence of humans—fences surrounded the two‑story stone‑brick houses, scattered dry leaves lay on the ground, wall corners stained yellow, cracking like spiderwebs that spread up to the ceiling.

Even so, the house was still habitable.

Xie Xunze has a cleanliness obsession; in the slums as a child it was only a minor survival concern, but now it borders on pathological.

Just staying one night, he cleaned the upper and lower rooms spotless, took out a modified solar‑powered charging mop from his space, scrubbed the bedroom floor thoroughly, tossed all furniture out of the house, even the bed, which he also pulled from his space.

A fresh bed was set against the wall; Jiang Zhi watched him meticulously lay the sheets and duvet, yet couldn't help exclaiming: "It's just one night—no need to be so particular."

Xie Xunze summoned her from the Character Card, immediately activated her physical form, didn't answer her question, and said: "Go sit down."

As soon as she appeared, she smelled a faint fruity fragrance in the air; the whole room had been specially sprayed with disinfectant by the youth—no bacteria, not even a speck of dirt visible.

Following his words, she sat on the made bed; the solid‑wood frame was luxuriously expensive, exchanged for twenty thousand points at the Huabeijidi base, and he had bought dozens more in his space, pure wholesale.

"So comfortable." She bounced up and down, then rolled around on the bed.

Xie Xunze's eyes, bloodshot from lack of sleep, reflected the girl on the bed; the faint sunset glow slanted into the depths of his pupils, revealing unhidden, abyss‑like sinful desire.

The moment she looked at him, he lowered his gaze, unbuttoned his outer shirt, and through the thin shirt his prominent, smoothly defined abs were visible—full of power, sexy, and exuding the hormone aura of an adult male.

He swiftly removed his shirt, bathed in the honey‑gold light of sunset; his upper body fully revealed to Jiang Zhi, the youth's broad, tall frame resembled that of a mature thirty‑year‑old man, everywhere exuding charming allure.

Low‑waist pants hung loosely on his pronounced hips; from her angle she could faintly see his lower…

Xie Xunze stripped down to only his underwear, walking steadily toward the bathroom.

Leaving her alone with his back, she heard the harsh squeak of the bathroom door closing.

Jiang Zhi propped her chin, stared wistfully at the bathroom door, and said: "I think he's doing it on purpose—flashing his flesh in front of me so I can't hold back."

777's friendly reminder: "Host, you are now a system."

Jiang Zhi grew angrier the more she spoke: "He even stole a kiss from me, thinking I don't know?"

After a few minutes, upon hearing the splashing from the bathroom, she slightly curled her lips, a hint of mischief flashing in her eyes.

"I'm going to get revenge on him!"

Having said that, she stepped off the bed, tiptoed to the door, and pushed open the old bathroom door a crack; before she could step in, a pair of arms like iron clamps suddenly wrapped around her waist and dragged her into the steaming hot bathroom.
