Chapter 145 He also wanted his life to be a little longer.
Shi Sui coaxed him verbally while carrying him out of the room.
I went to the washroom and splashed my face with cold water several times before it finally cooled down.
At least it won't burn you to the point of losing your mind.
Seeing that the host had personally chased away the annoying passerby N, the system breathed a long sigh of relief.
The system cheered: [Truly worthy of being the host chosen by this system, possessing extraordinary willpower and determination! Even when faced with the confession of that despicable, rich random stranger N, you remained completely unmoved!]
Shi Sui's eyelashes fluttered slightly as she looked at her flushed face in the mirror and asked, "[How do you know I'm unmoved?]"
System: [You didn't agree, isn't that the same as being indifferent?]
……
Shi Sui was silent for a moment: [Yeah, I guess so.]
[Don't worry, I won't fall in love. At least I need to escape the fate of being a villainous supporting character, at least I need to survive.]
[Before that, I won't think about anything else; I'll just focus on my studies.]
Knowing that you might not live past next year, yet still wanting to give someone else a start, is incredibly irresponsible.
The most heartbreaking thing is a beginning without an ending.
The system patted its non-existent chest: [Host, don't worry, with this system around, I won't let you go astray! Studying is the right thing to do!]
[Oh, so can you make someone sever all emotional ties?]
[...No, that won't work.]
[To put it simply, can you make me instantly have a photographic memory, possess superhuman intelligence, and become a billionaire?]
[Host, don't dream of instant success!]
[I was just joking. I'm not that greedy. I just want to live a good life, without anyone causing trouble, without regrets, and then do something meaningful...]
Shi Suimei indulged in a moment of daydreaming, then remembered: [System, you said Chi Yan is a young master from a wealthy family, right? Does someone of his status not have the right to choose what kind of life he wants to live?]
Just like Chen Xun, once one accepts Pei Shuoxun's identity, one cannot escape the fate of an arranged marriage.
I feel inexplicably sad, but then I realize that's just how the world is.
If you accept a benefit, you must bear the responsibility.
System: [There's not much character development in the novel, let me see—]
After a while, the system message appeared: [Found!]
The Chi family members are all born rebellious. The younger generation all pursue their dreams, love, and a life of leisure, which makes the old man, who is over sixty, very worried.
Fortunately, I still have a precious grandson who hasn't been corrupted by dreams or love.
Although the baby picked up a pink human brain model during the first birthday celebration, the family thought it meant the baby would become a doctor, but they never expected that the baby would be destined to be a romantic.
Chi Yan was raised by her grandfather from a young age, and has been working at the company since kindergarten, learning about company management, strategy development, project development, etc.
Undoubtedly, he will be the next leader of the Chi family.
……
The Chi family was his personal fiefdom.
……
In other words, the traitors in the Chi family begged him to inherit the family business; they said they would pluck the stars from the sky for him if he did.
Of course, it doesn't matter if he doesn't want to inherit the Chi family business; after all, the Chi family isn't short of another rebellious member.
The more Shi Sui listened, the envious she became.
Some people are just born into the right family.
The system abruptly changed its tone: "[However—]"
[Later in the novel, Gu Chenyi strives for success and uses ruthless methods to acquire the Lu family. Under his leadership, the Gu family will surpass the Chi family to become the richest family.]
Upon hearing this, Shi Sui felt much better.
[Understood! The Gu family's money will be mine sooner or later! I will become the richest person!]
Shi Sui immediately pulled out the test papers from her suitcase and started doing practice questions.
After I finished a set of practice questions and received some money, the landline on my bedside table rang.
The receptionist asked her if she needed her takeout delivered upstairs.

Back in her room, Xu Chaomu checked the security camera footage when a phone call came in. She glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Brother Leopard.
I turned on speakerphone, and the other person's voice came through: "Xiao Xu, what are you doing?"
"Check the surveillance footage."
"Surveillance? You're not spying on your wife, are you? That's pretty perverted."
"……Bye."
Leopard: "No! You ran off to be with your wife without a word, leaving me with this mess. Do you know how infuriating those clients are? I'm going to get breast cancer from all this anger..."
He then asked, "Why are you taking on so many orders lately? The company has only hired a few people, are you that short of money? You're not exactly a money-grubbing person."
He asked himself and answered, "Oh, so you're not alone anymore. You need to save up enough for a wife, and you also need to support her..."
Xu Chaomu: "...Shut up."
You even tricked me into becoming the company's legal representative!
"I am not 18 years old, so I cannot become a legal representative."
Leopard knew he had gotten a good deal by currying favor with someone powerful, so after a moment of silence, he asked humbly, "Brother Xu, can I see the file I sent you?"
"I've checked. Wait for me for two hours." (Hangs up the phone.)
The cold light from the screen illuminated the boy's indifferent eyes as he tapped away at the keyboard.
Two hours later, Xu Chaomu sent the revised report, and the other party sent him a rose to thank him, Boss.
Feeling thirsty, he picked up the bottled water on the table and opened it.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Xu Chaomu was stunned for a moment, then got up and opened the door.
He saw the girl standing at the door, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, melting away his original cold and aloof expression.
"Shi Sui".
"Okay, I've come to bring you your medicine."
Shi Sui handed over the takeout bag in her hand: "You said you felt like you were going to catch a cold. This is medicine to prevent colds, and a thermos. I've already filled it with hot water. Take care of yourself and drink more hot water."
Xu Chaomu looked at her but did not take the item.
Instead, she opened the door and said softly, "Would you like to come in and sit down?"
"Sure, I'll prepare the medicine for you."
The room was clean and tidy. Shi Sui poured the cold and fever relief granules into a disposable cup, then poured in hot water and stirred it with a spoon.
Xu Chaomu looked at her quietly.
When did it start?
He recalled a period before the start of this semester when he suddenly developed a low-grade fever that lasted for more than half a month and kept recurring.
How did the illness get better?
It started after I met Shi Sui.
From a chance encounter to a deliberate approach, from explaining exercises to intentionally creating subtle, almost imperceptible contact.
Getting a little closer to her, I felt her body warmer.
He hasn't been seriously ill for a long time, and even common ailments like colds have become much less frequent.
I thought that falling into a snow pit last night and catching a cold would make me seriously ill.
There was nothing wrong, except that my nose was a little stuffy when I woke up in the morning.
After meeting her, he wished his life could be longer.
He liked her both physically and mentally.
