Chapter 344: The male protagonist of this soul-swap story is quite rebellious.
Lin Xu spoke about work with a serious expression, occasionally glancing down at his phone to send a message. He seemed like a busy, diligent, and responsible assistant.
As he was talking, he would suddenly ask, "What does President He think?"
Then he waited for Wen Yu to speak, pretending not to see how painful it was for her to rack her brains to say a few words to fool him, and how clumsy her act of pretending to know what she didn't know was.
In reality, what he said was nothing more than a bunch of seemingly profound but ultimately meaningless nonsense.
If he dared to report his work like that to President He, he would surely be told by President He, without any expression, to curl up into a ball and leave gracefully.
He wasn't sending messages to arrange work, but rather to keep Yun Qing informed about He Chengyi's situation in real time, so as not to cause the future boss's wife too much worry.
He only looked up and breathed a sigh of relief when Wen Yu suddenly fell silent halfway through her speech.
This time, instead of typing, he sent a voice message: "Miss Song, Mr. He is alright..."
He was speaking halfway through when his expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed urgently, "President He!"
He Chengyi staggered when he stood up, his face turning as pale as paper. Lin Xu quickly put down his phone and helped him up.
He Chengyi closed his eyes briefly, a cold smile playing on his lips. [System, is this my punishment? Am I going to get a terminal illness just because I don't date Wen Yu? Is she the only cure for me?]
The system was terrified and immediately began to sob and stammer, "[It wasn't me, I didn't mean to.]"
[Host, I am the Matchmaker System, responsible for sweet romance stories. This is a built-in feature. When the affection level between the bound host and the other party drops to a certain level, this happens. Wen Yu must hate you to death right now.]
【Oh. 】
He Chengyi's tone was calm, and it was precisely this calmness that made the system tremble. [Host, don't get agitated, please don't get agitated. I... I'll take out a loan to buy you items, I guarantee you'll live a good life.]
He Chengyi said in a friendly tone, "It's okay, it's better if you die."
System: *sobs*
It hurriedly bought props for He Chengyi to use, even though Wen Yu was full of resentment, he could still live to be a hundred years old.
After all, if He Chengyi dies, its mission will fail.
It doesn't expect He Chengyi to obediently start a relationship with Wen Yu just because he's afraid of dying.
He'll just die happily!
He Chengyi didn't say anything more. The system was frightened by his series of actions, but in fact, he didn't want to die anymore, otherwise he wouldn't have just poured boiling water on his head.
Seeing that He Chengyi's complexion had returned to normal, Lin Xu felt relieved and suggested, "Mr. He, would you like to visit a temple or a Taoist temple?"
He Chengyi: ? ? ?
He couldn't help but look at Lin Xu, and after seeing the strange things hanging on his body, he was silent for a moment before saying, "Didn't I tell you that the one who was fighting me for the body was Wen Yu? A living person."
Lin Xu: !!!
Why didn't you say so earlier! I wouldn't be afraid if you were alive!
You're speaking so vaguely, do you know how scary that is?
Even though that ghost was rather stupid, it was still a ghost!
If it weren't for the kindness you showed me, I would have left long ago even if it were double the salary, okay?
However, how can a living person steal another person's body? Isn't that still a bizarre method?
Just then, He Chengyi instructed, "Help me find some professionals to establish a research institute to specifically study the so-called system."
"Whether or not we can create the system is irrelevant; the most important thing is that we can destroy it!"
system:!!!
Lin Xu: !!!
Lin Xu understood; the system was afraid.
As an internship system, it was its first time binding a host to perform a task, and it was not yet experienced enough. To this day, He Chengyi is just a madman in its eyes who is capable of anything.
It was genuinely worried that he might figure out a way to destroy the system.
So it decided to behave itself for a while.
Just then, Lin Xu's phone rang. He picked it up, glanced at it, and said to He Chengyi, "Mr. He, Miss Song asked me for your address."
Without hesitation, He Chengyi said, "Then tell her!"
Then he added, "Don't tell me I'm perfectly fine."
After thinking for a moment, she added, "And don't make it sound like I'm about to die, it'll scare people."
Lin Xu: ...You're not even trying to hide your intentions anymore!
He Chengyi glanced at his phone on the dining table, frowned, and asked, "Did Wen Yu touch it? Have someone send over a new one."
After saying that, he went straight upstairs.
He figured that as a friend, Yun Qing would most likely come to visit him tomorrow, so he had already asked for her address.
Thinking about it made my frustration dissipate a lot.
However, he did not expect that Yun Qing would come to see him late at night.
The last voice message Lin Xu sent earlier recorded his final anxious cries.
It's obvious that He Chengyi is in trouble.
Therefore, she simply did not believe Lin Xu when he said that He Chengyi did not have any major problems.
If there wasn't a major problem, why would the usually calm and collected Assistant Lin be so anxious?
If it were someone else, she probably wouldn't have been in such a hurry to rush over to visit them so late at night.
But it was precisely He Chengyi who had no family to care about him, and probably no true friends either. The only person she could trust was his special assistant, and the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became.
So she checked the time and decided to go see He Chengyi first, and come back if everything was alright.
Yun Qing called Lin Xu after she arrived.
As Lin Xu ran to greet her, he was certain that this was indeed his future boss's wife—it was a two-way street!
So he took Yun Qing directly to He Chengyi's room and said, "Mr. He is exhausted, so I didn't wake him. Miss Song, please go in and take a look."
"President He doesn't have many friends. He'll be very happy if you come to visit him."
Yun Qing was initially hesitant, wondering if it would be inappropriate for her to enter He Chengyi's room while he was asleep.
But Lin Xu has already said that.
Besides, when visiting a patient, there aren't so many rules. You can't just wake the patient up and make him come out so she can see him, can you?
So she simply opened the door and went inside.
A small nightlight was on in the room, its dim yellow light barely enough to make out what was happening, so she didn't turn the light on again to avoid disturbing He Chengyi.
She walked to the bedside and glanced at He Chengyi, finding him sleeping restlessly, breathing rapidly, his brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly. Suddenly, she raised her hand and flung most of the blanket away.
This is clearly a nightmare.
Yun Qing leaned over to help him pull the blanket back, and was hesitating whether or not to wake him when he grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms.
He Chengyi's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and after pulling her into a tighter embrace, he muttered in his sleep, "Where's my tail?"
Yun Qing: ? ? ?
You want my tail back? You don't want to turn into a monster and strangle me with your tail, do you?
It's no wonder Yun Qing thought that way; He Chengyi was holding her so tightly she could hardly breathe, and she felt like she was about to die.
Before Yun Qing could struggle, He Chengyi suddenly bit her collarbone again.
Yun Qing shuddered, her scalp tingling with fear, and she struggled desperately to survive.
"He Chengyi, wake up! I'm not food! You can't eat me!"
What kind of dream was that?
What kind of monster have you turned into?!
