Chapter 315: Volume 1 Chapter 315: You Are My System (Complete)

"Hungry, already." Her voice was hoarse from crying, soft, and devoid of aggression.

Xie Xunze lifted the bowl from the food cart, scooped a spoonful of the fish meat cooked until it fell apart, and brought it to her lips.

A bowl of fish soup was fresh and delicious, the fish meat tender and smooth, melting in the mouth; he had simmered it carefully all morning, and all the fish bones had been picked out.

The Stupid System didn't like red meat, preferring fish, especially wild river fish.

Picky and greedy.

Jiang Zhi sniffed it; there was no fishy smell at all, the aroma was rich.

She took a bite and exclaimed delightedly, "Delicious."

Xie Xunze personally fed her the whole bowl, asking, "Want more?"

"No more," she said, already full. After thinking, she asked, "Did you make this?"

During the days he served as her system, Xie Xunze rarely cooked; mostly he ordered base meal boxes, which were affordable and nutritious.

So she seldom saw him cook personally.

Xie Xunze raised an eyebrow: "Otherwise?"

Jiang Zhi glanced at him, then muttered a few sentences under her breath: "I thought you had someone else make it——"

Before she could finish, Xie Xunze stepped forward, kissed the corner of her lips, pinched her slender waist, and gently sucked her pink tongue tip.

The girl was forced to lift her head, feeling the faint scorching breath from his thin lips; the kiss made her lips turn a tempting rosy red.

The youth withdrew calmly; if one ignored his dark, lust-filled eyes, he stared unblinking at her snow-white, pink-tinged cheeks.

"Only we are here." He slowly tidied the slightly rumpled hem of his shirt, then after a long pause said, "I won't let anyone see you; you are mine."

Jiang Zhi's arm, propped on the bed, trembled slightly as she stubbornly said, "I am me, I belong to myself."

Xie Xunze ignored her words, put away the bowl and spoon, and also placed the snacks from the food cart on the bedside table, instructing, "Eat if you're hungry."

Jiang Zhi snorted and ignored his words.

Xie Xunze rubbed her crimson eye corners with his fingertip, whispering, "Be good, obey."

Having spoken, he pushed the food cart out of the bedroom.

Jiang Zhi thought he would be gone a long while, but only ten minutes passed before he returned to the bedroom.

Seated in the chair by the floor-to-ceiling window, legs crossed, he flipped through the book in his hands.

Pale sunlight streamed through the glass onto his pure black short hair, casting a gentle glow over his brows and eyes that made his pupils appear deep and alluring; his demeanor was elegant and noble, and with his sleeves rolled up lay a beautiful-boned wrist.

Only then did Jiang Zhi realize he was now 21 years old.

Yet his demeanor appeared mature and steady, his attire immaculate, combining into a complex charm.

As she gazed entranced, the black-haired youth casually said, "Zhizhi, if you keep looking, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back……"

Speaking, he slightly lifted his eyelids; in the half-light, his dark lips parted slightly, revealing a hint of mischief: "@&, you."

Jiang Zhi heard a certain word he spoke seem to be censored, leaving her dazed for a moment.

"What word did he say?"

777: "Fuck."

Jiang Zhi immediately pretended to be an ostrich and lay down on the bed.

If it happens again, her body can't take it.

…

Two months later.

Jiang Zhi's range of movement expanded from the bedroom to the outside courtyard.

No one was more of a lazybones than she; after each meal she would lie in the pavilion beside the courtyard flowerbed to cool off and sleep.

Xie Xunze would cling to her at night, staying up late before falling asleep, and only during the day could he catch a brief nap.

As he said, besides them, this palace-level castle had no one else.

Everything was done by Xie Xunze himself; he seemed to enjoy this harmonious, peaceful life with her, completely breaking free from the previous tense existence of struggling to survive.

She also learned from the system the fate of the male and female leads.

Three years ago, she saved the male and female leads with her own life; Xie Xunze did not exterminate them but instead focused on completing the main quest.

He used a divine artifact to lure all the monsters to one place, then utterly annihilated them.

This world has already restored peace; the base disbanded accordingly, gradually returning to the former rule-of-law society.

And Xie Xunze, having built such a castle, found the surrounding scenery picturesque, with sparse and rare human presence; he also set up mechanical traps nearby.

In short, before they die of old age, no one will come to disturb them.

"What exactly is this bracelet?" She had been studying the ring on her wrist these past two days; not only were both hands wearing it, but both ankles as well.

It restricted her movements and also deprived her of the ability to escape.

"It was exchanged by the villain in the mall; I don't know either," said 777.

Jiang Zhi tried to break it open with brute force, but after a long while it was to no avail.

"It hurts," she said, rubbing her wrist, which bore red marks.

Behind her, a figure appeared at some unknown time, leaning near her ear and asking, "How much does it hurt?"

Jiang Zhi was startled again by him; after these two months her courage had returned to its former state, fearing neither heaven nor earth, and she snapped angrily, "What are you doing? You scared me."

Xie Xunze kissed the corner of her lips, covered her wrist with his fingers, and asked, "Zhizhi, do you want to undo it?"

His voice was calm and gentle, but Jiang Zhi clearly sensed the fluctuations in his emotions.

It seemed as if, whenever she said she wanted it, Xie Xunze would chop off her wrist just the same.

She shook her head like a rattle-drum: "No."

Xie Xunze's fingertips slid down from the side of her neck; seeing the girl in his embrace trembling, her cheeks flushed, he paused a few seconds, then sat on the nearby bench, supporting her body as she straddled his lap.

"Zhizhi, promise me..." He, as if possessed, kept calling her name over and over, pecking kisses at her brows and eyes, saying, "I won't leave you again."

Jiang Zhi was burned by waves of heat surging through her body, her consciousness hazy, her star‑filled eyes staring blankly ahead, she answered through sobs.

"No, I won't leave, you."

The night overhead swallowed the light beams, even taking them for itself; the heavens beyond scattered gorgeous colors, all spread across the pavilion at the flowerbed's center, draped in thin silvery‑white gauze.

——

【End of this world】

——

Having passed away peacefully, Jiang Zhi broke free from the world, returned to the Rest Cabin, and gasped desperately as if drowning.

This is a side effect of huge mental power consumption.

She had already passed through more than ten worlds consecutively, her soul severely overdrawn; each time she awoke, her physical condition was extremely poor.

She sat up, closed her eyes, and rested briefly.

777 couldn't bear to disturb her, only speaking when she opened her eyes: "Host, you may rest for a week, then continue."

Jiang Zhi had planned to rest for a few days even in the previous world, mainly because she was too tired.

After entering a world, she cannot afford any mistakes; she must face the villain in her best condition.

Therefore, this also caused her mental power to be severely depleted.

Especially after emerging from a small world having spent the rest of her life with the villain, the feeling of drowning became increasingly obvious.

"What is the next world?"
