Pretending to Get Close

Xia Yuxi woke up one day to find herself inside a System. The System was generous enough to throw in a blindness experience voucher as a bonus.

Other people who enter a System rush to complete their missions to stay alive.

But not Xia Yuxi. Why should she, when the System gave her an immortal body?

System: [The target's emotions are fluctuating. Host, please keep an eye on them.]

Xia Yuxi: I'm busy. I'll deal with that after I use up this stack of beauty-treatment vouchers.

System: [The target is in danger. Host, ensure their safety.]

Xia Yuxi: I'm at a party. What did you say? It's a little windy here, I can't hear you.

To become a ruler, you must first go mad.

That's Xia Yuxi's guiding principle as she dominates this unfamiliar System. She's determined to break the System and show it that she can't be controlled!

But the very next second, she got hit with a face-slapping reality.

[It has been detected that the Host's mission completion rate over the past month is 0%. After comprehensive discussion, the decision has been made to destroy the Host in an explosion.]

Xia Yuxi was enjoying a beauty's bath when the notification in her head instantly made her chicken out.

What was the latest mission again? Make that person's mood better, right?

So the next second, she teleported in front of Meng Qingning. The timing wasn't great: the other woman was on a blind date with a man who seemed decent enough.

Just as Xia Yuxi was about to say goodbye to this world, the woman walked over to her, gently intertwined their fingers, then waved their joined hands at the man.

"This is my lover."

[Congratulations, Host, you have completed a hidden mission. The decision to destroy you has been put on hold for now. Keep up the good work.]

What the heck? That works too?! Xia Yuxi cursed inwardly.

But as soon as the man left, the woman immediately let go of their intertwined hands. She took a wet wipe from nearby and carefully wiped Xia Yuxi's slender fingers from tip to tip.

Xia Yuxi: ? Am I something filthy or what?

To prevent environmental pollution from an explosion, she put up with it.

From then on, whenever Miss Meng needed her, Xia was ready to brave mountains of blades and seas of fire for her. Even when she didn't need her, Xia was still ready.

After finally making an unrelenting effort with shameless determination, the threat to her life was temporarily lifted.

So she started acting up again.

[The target's emotions are fluctuating significantly. Host, please intervene in a timely manner.]

So I'm in charge of her mood now? Then Xia Yuxi remembered that her life seemed to be in the other woman's hands, and reluctantly went over.

Guess what happened?

[The target's emotions have been brought under control. Unlock one more hidden mission to fully restore your sight.]

Why did she feel like a monkey on Mount Emei, being toyed with by the System and Meng Qingning?

--

Meng Qingning couldn't understand why Xia Yuxi seemed like a completely different person after a car accident.

She no longer spent every day picking fights with Meng Qingning. But Meng Qingning knew this was just the act Xia had always put on in front of adults and elders. No matter what, the malice in her heart wouldn't disappear.

One day while she was out, a suitor with psychological problems followed her. To get rid of him, Meng Qingning had no choice but to pull Xia Yuxi over to help.

But after that, Xia seemed to have decided to stick with her, following her around every day.

She was always attentive to Meng Qingning's feelings, making her happy.

She taught her to love life and helped her enjoy it. She even gave her an unexpected gift on her birthday.

It really did seem like she was different from the old Xia Yuxi. Little by little, Meng Qingning began to change her opinion of her.

But before long, Xia suddenly grew distant again. Meng Qingning didn't say anything, but she felt a little sad.

When she saw Xia again, the heaviness and sadness in her heart seemed to be replaced by something else.

She couldn't put it into words, and she couldn't swallow it down.
