NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2
Chapter 2: A System
Soon Xu Ziran knew that Qiu Yurou hated her, not “as if” but “just”.
They walked from the third floor of Building No. 1, where the first year of high school was located, to the first floor of Building No. 3, where the infirmary was located. Qiu Yurou was stunned and didn’t say a word to her, even though she had already asked a lot of questions on her own.
For example-
Xu Ziran: “Oh, I didn’t expect to catch a cold so badly that it wouldn’t infect you, right?”
Qiu Yurou’s indifferent face: “…”
Xu Ziran: “I’m so thirsty, I forgot to bring a cup. I don’t know if there is any in the infirmary.”
Qiu Yurou’s indifferent face: “…”
Xu Ziran: “… um, the weather is a little cloudy, will it be the same tomorrow?”
Qiu Yurou’s indifferent face: “…”
Xu Ziran was finally speechless.
She racked her brains and finally remembered a trace of the current situation. If it was the time when the first year of high school was just divided into classes, the two of them who had just become tablemates seemed to have had a relatively cold period.
This is also very natural, can people who have just met become very enthusiastic right away? This is not an adult who has experienced many battles. In high school, everyone was very young and shy, okay?
However, the cold reception at the moment, it seems that the youth and shyness cannot explain it.
Xu Ziran thinks about his past behavior, and vaguely remembers that he was a little arrogant when he was a child, but it is the most difficult for people to have self-knowledge. It’s too hard to be human.
After thinking about it, she couldn’t think of it, and with a splitting headache, she didn’t even think about it.
The two braved the cold wind and finally reached the infirmary. The door of the infirmary was closed, Qiu Yurou raised her hand and knocked, but no one answered.
She suddenly hesitated, as if she didn’t know what to do next. Xu Ziran looked puzzled, not knowing what Qiu Yurou was hesitating at all, so she raised her hand and opened the door.
The air conditioner was on in the room, and it was much warmer than the outside. Xu Ziran happily went inside, but Qiu Yurou stood there and didn’t dare to go in: “There’s no one in there, it’s not good for us to go in like this.”
Xu Ziran now has thin arms and thin legs, but she has a lot of strength, so she pulls Qiu Yurou in at once, closing the door and saying, “What are you afraid of, you must have gone to the toilet, or you are pouring tea, you leave it open like this The door let off the heat, and I won’t be happy when the doctor comes back later.”
Hearing this, Qiu Yurou gave up the idea of opening the door and then going out, but just stood at the door a little awkwardly.
Xu Ziran glanced at Qiu Yurou and thought to herself: Qiu Yurou used to be so rambunctious in high school, and was not as interesting at all.
If so, it is understandable that the relationship is not good.
While thinking about this, Xu Ziran sat on the sofa. Because of the warmth and quietness in the room, he gradually became more comfortable. He leaned on the back of the chair for a while and fell down for a while. Because his nose was itchy and he wanted to blow his nose, he looked around. I took two from my desk.
While blowing her nose, she felt that her actions were unseemly, and cast an apologetic look at Qiu Yurou.
She saw Qiu Yurou’s face with a ghostly expression, and looked at her in shock.
Although Xu Ziran felt that blowing her nose was not very beautiful, it was normal human nature. She was so shocked that she couldn’t understand Qiu Yurou’s thoughts until she went to draw the third piece of paper and saw Qiu Yurou following her. The eyes of the movement, only after realizing it, Qiu Yurou may think that it is not good for her to pick someone else’s paper without their consent.
She explained: “Otherwise, the snot will drip down, which is disgusting.”
Qiu Yurou turned her head to one side, her expression not looking like disgust, but more like avoidance.
Xu Ziran felt that the hearts of high school girls were really unpredictable.
However, she has long passed the age of constantly thinking about other people’s hearts, not to mention the ups and downs like just now, and now she is tired and sleepy, and before she realizes it, she becomes drowsy and half-closes her eyes.
In a daze, she heard something ringing in her head.
To describe it, it’s like the “ding-” sound after the microwave oven heats something up.
Logically speaking, such a sound should wake her up, but she was still in a daze, as if subconsciously felt that the sound came from the depths of her brain, she only opened her eyes lazily, and then…
She is stupid.
There is a button in front of her.
The kind of white, oval button that will be common on phones and computers later.
Because she was sitting on the sofa, facing a potted plant that was more than half the height of a person. If the potted plant was used as a reference, the button was at the top of the potted plant.
Xu Ziran stood up in shock, and the button began to move up to a higher position.
Xu Ziran turned around, facing Qiu Yurou, the button landed on Qiu Yurou’s chest.
She was dumbfounded and looked up at Qiu Yurou’s face.
Because a line of words fell on Qiu Yurou’s face, which read—
Welcome to participate in the portable system experience activity, the system program has been loaded successfully, welcome to enter.
The font is Arial, pink, with a blurred halo around the edges.
Xu Ziran raised his hand to rest on his forehead, then moved down and wiped his face ruthlessly.
When she closed her eyes, the line became clearer without the interference of the surrounding scenery, and Xu Ziran could also see the words on the white button—
【Click to enter (7s)】
The 7s in parentheses quickly became 6s, and then immediately became 5s. Xu Ziran quickly realized that this was a countdown, which meant that in five seconds, she would enter the system.
She suddenly felt a sense of urgency, but looking around the entire page, even opening her eyes to the ceiling, she didn’t see any option to delay, Xu Ziran just watched the countdown behind the [click to enter] button disappear, and then turned into a wisp The pink smoke, gathered again, became a new sentence and button.
She was stunned, only to hear Qiu Yurou asking repeatedly, “What’s wrong with you, what’s wrong with you?”
Xu Ziran looked at Qiu Yurou’s face, licked her dry lips, and tried her best to keep calm and asked, “Well, by the way, didn’t you hear any strange sounds just now?”
Because of Xu Ziran’s reaction, Qiu Yurou forgot that they were in a cold war, and shook her head repeatedly, “No.”
As she said that, she looked at Xu Ziran with some worry and fear. From the point of view, she just landed on the button – but she didn’t have any strange reaction.
—Come on, then you don’t have to ask if you see that button.
—Obviously, must not have seen it.
This thing, really only Xu Ziran can see it.
Xu Ziran waved at Qiu Yurou, and said, “Come here, I seem- I seem a little dizzy.”
Qiu Yurou hurried over, stretched out her hand to support Xu Ziran, and said, “What should I do, why don’t I go to the teacher, should I drink water? Should I call an ambulance?”
She spoke, her voice trembling as if she was about to cry.
Xu Ziran almost didn’t laugh out loud, but she found that she seemed to frighten Qiu Yurou.
She patted Qiu Yurou on the back soothingly, pulled Qiu Yurou to sit on the sofa together, and said, “It’s alright, just let me lean on it, I feel like I’m dreaming now.”
She really felt like she was dreaming.
It’s okay to be reborn, what exactly is this in front of you?
She closed her eyes and looked at the second option in front of her—
Give your loyal partner a name, it may bring you a good mood too~
[a, random]
【b. Customize】
Xu Ziran’s head was too big, thinking about customizing it, the option b lights up, the whole screen spreads out like smoke again, and enters the next interface—
Welcome to 【Pink Love Memories System~~???】
Xu Ziran:…
Is there something wrong with this system…?
Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to be confirmed yet, there are three options behind, one is [OK], one is [Reshake,] and the other is [Return].
Xu Ziran hurriedly selected the [reshake,] side of the screen, and it became—
Welcome to 【dokidoki’s sweet love system full of pink memories~~?】
Xu Ziran:…
Xu Ziran nodded without any hesitation, and a third name appeared quickly—
Welcome to 【Fantastic love system where every ending makes your heart blush~~?】
Xu Ziran: …everything is followed by love, why are the names longer than the last?
Xu Ziran took a deep breath, and then let out a sigh of relief.
She seems to know the urine of this system.
Could it be that her mother’s resentment for urging her to fall in love and get married failed in her previous life, why should she have such a deep obsession with her love? Although she has never been in a relationship, she doesn’t think there is any problem with her love skills at all.
Qiu Yurou’s worried voice sounded again: “What’s the matter, are you having trouble breathing?”
Xu Ziran nodded: “It’s a little difficult.”
“Ah? Do you want to go to the hospital then?”
“…No, I’m joking.”
Not knowing who he was comforting, Xu Ziran held Qiu Yurou’s hand and continued to study the system in front of him.
She directly chose to go back, custom made the name simply and rudely [One System], and then chose OK.
This time, after the smoke dissipated, it did not gather in the center, but spread out and piled up on the side. Just when Xu Ziran thought that the system panel was about to appear, a sound of fireworks suddenly sounded in her mind, which terrified her firmly. Shake a bit.
This time, Qiu Yurou didn’t dare to speak, but even though she didn’t let go of Xu Ziran’s hand, she still sat beside her.
But Xu Ziran was completely unaware of this matter, she could only hear a girl in her mind say in a cheerful voice as if she was having a celebratory party—
“Dear host, you are welcome to activate the love system 3.0. [One system] will be dedicated to bringing the most intimate services to your life and future.”
“Our system is developed by the best team, covering all aspects of love, daily life, study and work, interpersonal communication, human health, etc. It will definitely bring you a unique experience.”
“Now, please choose a love target (30s
Xu Ziran: “???!!!”
—W-why did you start choosing a love goal so suddenly? Is there no foreshadowing or preparation? Why is the goal of love still mandatory?
— No, it must be a dream, I must be dreaming, it’s so inexplicable.
Xu Ziran thought so in her heart, but after the previous options, she was somewhat mentally prepared. She observed her surroundings and found that as long as she set her eyes on a specific object, there would be one more small object to choose from in the center of that object. The cursor, for example, when she puts her eyes on the sofa, the sofa becomes optional, and when she puts her eyes on Qiu Yurou, Qiu Yurou becomes optional.
From this point of view, the range of choices for this “love target” is very wide, not only gender…not even species…
Seeing that the ten-second countdown began, and thinking to himself that this option seemed absolutely impossible to postpone or cancel, his eyes stayed on the only human creature at present, Qiu Yurou.
Qiu Yurou is now looking at Xu Ziran’s eyes, as if looking at a neuropathy.
Xu Ziran weighed the gains and losses in her heart. Although she said she was choosing a love goal, it seemed that it was very casual according to the situation just now. She was thinking about choosing a pen or a book to try, but because she didn’t know what to do. Hesitant to know the final consequences.
What if, after the choice, she fell madly in love with a pen – what to do?
When she hesitated, the countdown reached the last two seconds, and at the same time, the door was opened.
She subconsciously looked towards the door.
So the voice in my head said-
“You are sure to choose the target as Xin Lei, male, 48 years old, human, moderately obese…”
-what? What? !
Even though Xu Ziran has been working hard to maintain her composure, she can’t help but her brain freezes. Seeing that the option that seems to decide her life’s destiny is about to be chosen, Xu Ziran instinctively immediately turned her eyes away to focus on Qiu Yurou, and kept howling in her heart. —No no no no no, don’t want that person just now, choose Qiu Yurou! Choose Qiu Yurou! Choose Qiu Yurou! !
Another “ding–” sounded in my mind, as if the dust had settled-
“Love target selection – human female, Qiu Yurou, 15 years old, height, weight 47kg, normal metabolism, good physical function…”
“Welcome to—[a system].”
Xu Ziran’s face was dazed. After breaking away from the despair that everything was over, he actually felt that this choice seemed to be a good one?
She looked at the bald infirmary teacher who came in through the door and asked, “Is there any problem?” She couldn’t help trembling with fear, and walked to Qiu Yurou’s side.
