Chapter 89 Damn System

Chen Zhi stayed in Xu's house.

Xu Shuhe's good life ended.

Under the candlelight, in the room, the couple looked at each other.

"It's getting late. Let's get some water to bathe and rest early?" Xu Shuhe suggested in a low voice, feeling guilty for no reason.

She didn't want to do this, but the look in the other person's eyes was too frightening.

It seemed as if she had done something very sorry to Chen Zhi.

"No hurry." Chen Zhi said calmly, and then ordered, "You all leave."

Xinyue and Meixiang lowered their eyes, bowed, and then retreated. After Zhang Ping and the others who were guarding the door came out, they closed the door.

And pulled the two of them away.

"What's going on?" Xinyue couldn't help but ask Zhang Ping, "Why does the young master look unhappy?"

Zhang Ping rubbed his head and said, "No, she has been pretty normal recently. When she came here today, she even asked me to buy a lot of snacks that the young lady likes to eat. It seems that she is planning to stay for a few more days."

"Okay, both of you stop talking. Are you hungry? We don't have to wait on you right now. Let's go eat something to fill our stomachs."

Mei Xiang, the most stable and oldest, whispered.

She seemed to have sensed something was wrong between the two masters.

The atmosphere in the room at that time was indeed subtle.

Without any outsiders present, Xu Shuhe felt even more nervous. Just as he was about to drink some water to calm himself, he stretched out his hand, but the teacup in front of him was taken away by the person opposite him.

When she looked up, she saw Chen Zhi still staring at her with burning eyes.

Xu Shuhe couldn't help it, "What exactly do you want to do today? Do you have anything to say?"

"I do have something to say." Chen Zhi's eyes seemed to see through him, and he whispered, "Do you hate me?"

When he said this, he looked quite imposing, but if you looked closely and listened carefully, you could clearly see a hint of caution and grievance in his eyes and tone.

In response, Xu Shuhe immediately denied it, "No, what are you thinking about?"

How could she hate such a well-behaved, obedient, smart and motivated child?

"Then why have you been deliberately avoiding me during this period of time?" Although Chen Zhi felt relieved, he still asked.

People with a guilty conscience are most afraid of the other party playing straight.

Xu Shuhe's eyes unconsciously became flustered, and he quickly laughed, "That's not the case. I've been sick recently and I'm not in good spirits. It's normal for me to rest and not see anyone. And I have to go back to my mother's house to take care of my mother, which is also reasonable. Besides, you are also busy with the store, and business is also important. You don't always have time to be together every day."

She kept talking to herself, but her voice became weaker and weaker.

But Chen Zhi just stared at her, his eyes clearly saying, "Do you think I'm easy to fool?"

After she finished speaking, Chen Zhi just said in a muffled voice.

"You're just avoiding me."

Xu Shuhe pursed her lips and was silent for a moment. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind and she asked him back.

"Then why do you think I should avoid you?"

"I don't know." Chen Zhi answered truthfully.

"You don't know, but I do? I think you've been under too much pressure recently and have too many random thoughts. In my opinion, you just need to get some sleep."

"Don't go around me."

Just when Xu Shuhe was about to use her brainwashing skills, Chen Zhi didn't fall for it and interrupted her.

"I just don't know why you're hiding from me, so I came to ask you." Chen Zhi looked at her seriously, then sighed softly, "What did I do wrong? I've been thinking about it, but I can't find the reason. You and I are husband and wife and we're going to spend our whole lives together, so we have to say whatever we have. I'm not as smart and careful as you, so I hope you can tell me."

When he said this, his eyes were full of helplessness and sincerity, and it was obvious that he was speaking from his heart.

But the more he did this, the more guilty Xu Shuhe felt.

Chen Zhi regarded her as his wife with whom he would stay together and spend the rest of his life.

She treated Chen Zhi as her son, a worker who could help her complete her mission and return to her original world. She didn't want to spend her whole life with him.

The feeling of guilt came over me, making me feel a little helpless.

Xu Shuhe took a deep breath and wanted to say something, but when he looked at Chen Zhi's eyes, the breath was lost for no reason.

This was repeated several times before he finally just said one sentence.

"You think too much. You are very good. There is nothing wrong with you."

"That"

"Then let's take a break. I'm sleepy." Xu Shuhe interrupted Chen Zhi and stood up. "Don't think too much. Let me think about it."

This was a bit confusing. Chen Zhi seemed to understand it, but also seemed not to understand it.

But Xu Shuhe had already called the maids in to serve him, so he had no choice but to stop asking.

After bathing, they dismissed the servants and lay down separately as usual.

Chen Zhi spread the bedding on the small couch next to him, and Xu Shuhe also pulled down the curtains of the bed.

Although they were in the same room, it seemed as if there was a wall between them.

Lying on the bed, Xu Shuhe stared blankly at the ceiling of the tent.

She thought that this world should not really exist, it should just be a virtual game world. She was a player, and Chen Zhi and everyone else were NPCs following a script. So when she completed her mission and left, and finished the game, this world should disappear, and everything would be as if it had never existed.

Probably.

But this experience is too real, making people feel that this is another small world in a parallel time and space, not like fiction.

With his mind in a mess, Xu Shuhe called out the system in his mind and asked what he was thinking.

"If I complete my mission and leave, will this world disappear?"

"Of course not." The system's voice sounded, "When you complete your mission and leave this world, this system will automatically arrange for the body you leave behind in this world to disappear in a natural and common sense way. The most common way is death from illness."

Xu Shuhe was slightly stunned, "What about the others, such as Chen Zhi?"

"Of course, just continue living and let nature take its course," said the system.

"Without a script, I won't disappear?" Xu Shuhe couldn't help asking, "Will he remember me forever?"

The system replied, "Yes, he is also a living person, just in a different time and space from you."

After hearing this answer, Xu Shuhe was silent for a long time.

After a moment, he cursed fiercely in his heart, "You deserve to die. You let me be his mother and nothing will happen!"

There is only one letter difference between "mother" and "wife", but the relationship changes a world of difference.

The system wanted to say that it had already applied for compensation, but Xu Shuhe was so angry that he was too lazy to pay attention to it.

He pulled the quilt over his head and kept silent.

The next day.

When Xu Shuhe woke up, Chen Zhi was gone.

His sleeping area was already prepared.

After rubbing his eyes, Xu Shuhe asked someone to come in and serve him.

"Where is the young master?"

"I went out to buy breakfast for Madam and Young Madam. They said a new breakfast shop has opened nearby. The food tastes great and business is booming. I'll buy some and let's try it together." Meixiang replied.

As he was speaking, Chen Zhi's voice came from the door.

"Is the young lady awake? Take this breakfast to your mother-in-law. I don't know what she likes to eat, so I picked some extra dishes."

It was Xinyue who answered, "Yes, I will go right away. The young lady has woken up. I will bring in the hot water for washing first, and then go to the lady."

"No need, you go and deliver breakfast to your mother-in-law, I'll take care of these." Chen Zhi ordered.

Then, Xu Shuhe saw Chen Zhi coming into the room with a basin of hot water.
