Xu Cheng’an cried for a while, then sat at the bathroom door, listening to the rushing water.
He didn’t want Shen Ran to see him so miserable.
The electronic voice fell silent, and Chen Jing relaxed, believing the danger was neutralized after entering the bathroom.
She undressed and stood under the faucet, slowly showering while attempting to communicate with the electronic voice in her mind.
“Hello, are you the system bound to me? I’ve read some experiences where protagonists receive the original owner’s memories and plot progression. Why haven’t I received anything?”
“Is it possible to return to the real world once the completion goal is achieved?”
After asking numerous questions with no response, Chen Jing sighed and gave up.
However, just as she finished showering and thought the time to maintain distance from Xu Cheng’an was about right, the electronic voice sounded again!
【Due to the author’s failure to maintain distance between male and female leads, electric shock punishment activated. Countdown: 3…2…】
Chen Jing was shocked: “How is this possible! We’re definitely more than ten meters apart.”
As the electronic voice counted down, an electric current suddenly surged from Chen Jing’s feet to her hair, causing her to fall backward.
With a bang, her head hit the glass door, her entire body tingling and painful.
Xu Cheng’an anxiously called, “Shen Ran, what happened?”
Electrocuted and sweating, Chen Jing understood the punishment occurred because he was standing at the door.
After receiving no response for a long time, Xu Cheng’an panicked and began kicking the door, breaking it open after three fierce kicks.
The next morning, Chen Jing caught another glimpse of Xu Cheng’an’s stern face.
From being taken to the police station the night before to now returning to Shen Ran’s home, Xu Cheng’an maintained the same cold and indifferent expression.
Chen Jing reached out, her fingertips hooking his chin: “Cheng’an.”
Xu Cheng’an’s gaze slightly moved, forcibly restraining himself from responding to her.
He was almost driven mad yesterday, and afterward, she didn’t offer an explanation; how could he not feel wronged, how could he not be angry!
Xu Cheng’an tightly pursed his lips, staring straight ahead, hiding his heartache and sadness, his face expressionless.
Chen Jing sighed: “Are you really angry?”
