Chapter 23 Girl, You’re Really Amazing
Lan Xiao touched her nose and said in an innocent voice, “Yes, I am human, and so is my whole family.”
The system was rendered speechless.
A series of beeps rang out in Lan Xiao’s ears.
The next moment, the board in front of her vanished into thin air.
“Hey, handsome system, where are you? I didn’t finish what I was about to say. I haven’t even clicked the ‘confirm’ button yet. How could I refuse such a powerful ability? Don’t go. Tell me everything clearly before you leave!” Lan Xiao shouted, sitting upright on the bed in a hurry.
However, what came into her line of sight was not the task board, but the handsome face of Wen Muchu, who looked at her as if he had seen a ghost.
“It seems that you are really sick...”
“Yes, you’re right. Otherwise, why would she faint all of a sudden?” the teacher at his side agreed.
Obviously, they were referring to two different kinds of sickness. Lan Xiao understood what Wen Muchu meant in an instant.
She blushed and stammered, “I... I was having a dream just now...”
“Well...” Wen Muchu raised his wrist, glanced at his watch, and said indifferently, “Only two minutes have passed from the time you fainted on my wound till now...”
“Girl, you’re really amazing! How could you pass out all of a sudden and have a wonderful dream in just two minutes? What’s a handsome system? What powerful ability were you talking about? Are you insane?” With a surprised grin on his face, the teacher gave a thumb-up to Lan Xiao.
Lan Xiao shrank in embarrassment. What a humiliating situation! Why didn’t she just run away now? Staying here meant waiting for these two mischievous men to continue to tease her.
“Actually, I passed out after seeing the blood... I have blood phobia, you know...” she explained with an awkward smile as she got out of the bed and put on her shoes.
In the meantime, the doctor had just arrived at the infirmary.
Her eyes lit up as if she had seen her savior. She pulled Wen Muchu to the doctor and said, “Doctor Han, this guy was wounded by a rogue while doing a brave deed. Please bandage his wound as soon as possible. I... I should go back to review my lessons now...”
Suddenly, Wen Muchu grabbed Lan Xiao’s hand. Feeling her cold hand in his, he frowned and asked, “Are you sure you’re okay?”
“Yes... Actually, I’m fine. Just take care of yourself. We still have a test, right? Hurry up and get your wound dressed, and then quickly go to class to study. I’ll leave first...” With an embarrassed smile, Lan Xiao shook off Wen Muchu’s hand and scurried out of the infirmary, running even faster than a rabbit.
After leaving the infirmary, she stopped at a remote corner and anxiously called the system.
“Handsome system, where are you? Come out quickly. Sorry, I was wrong. You are a system, so you are not human, but I am...”
With a loud bang, the board re-appeared in front of Lan Xiao. The affection value on it had originally been zero, but now, it had risen to a hundred.
Below the value was a brief explanation that said, “Wen Muchu took the initiative to hold Lan Xiao’s hand, so the affection value has increased by 100, and the function value has increased by 10.”
Lan Xiao was flabbergasted. How had this happened?
Did that mean that the quest had already begun?
She raised her hand and looked at the ruby ring, which was flashing with a red light. When she tapped it lightly, the quest board in front of her disappeared in an instant.
A hint of joy flashed through her eyes. She was brimming with excitement.
After school, she wanted to try out the special ability of sensing the spotlights by touching stones.
In the days after her rebirth, she had gotten immensely lucky, and her life was turning out to be very thrilling!
Besides, it seemed that she had to spend time with Wen Muchu every day to complete the task. By doing that, she could not only flirt with that handsome man, but also get the special ability. God was so kind to her!
