As she grumbled, Xia Xin clicked on the Canned Spinach’s description. It allowed her to temporarily gain the strength of a weightlifter capable of lifting 200 kilograms for ten minutes.
Xia Xin thought it would be just enough time to lift MO Shu onto the bed. However, just as Xia Xin was about to make the purchase, she saw the price, 200,000 Human Affinity points.
‘Well, it seemed like the system had set the price according to my balance, didn’t it? It must have been determined to drain my money!’ Xia Xin thought.
But Xia Xin couldn’t leave MO Shu lying on the floor unattended. With no other option, she reluctantly selected the purchase and immediately devoured the Canned Spinach. Surprisingly, it tasted delicious.
Once she finished the spinach, Xia Xin felt an instant surge of energy. She effortlessly picked up MO Shu in a princess carry style and placed him on the bed.
MO Shu was sound asleep and showed no reaction. Xia Xin couldn’t help but wonder if it was the same as when she fell into slumber and Jing MO carried her to the hospital.
‘Fell into slumber?!’
Suddenly, Xia Xin realized that every time she used the system’s abilities and items, she ended up falling asleep. She couldn’t stay in the same room with MO Shu in this condition, so she had to leave quickly!
Fortunately, the Matcharia was close to her apartment. Xia Xin didn’t want to delay, so she hailed a taxi immediately.
On the way back home, Xia Xin became increasingly drowsy. She was afraid she couldn’t stay awake and might fall asleep in the taxi. The taxi driver assumed she had been through a breakup and comforted her, “Young lady, you’ll meet someone better in the future.’
Xia Xin mumbled sleepily in response. As soon as she arrived home, she rushed in, bypassing the bedroom and not even glancing at the two dogs. She collapsed on the couch and fell asleep.
When Xia Xin woke up, it was pitch black outside, and she was covered with a blanket. The living room remained dark, with only the bright light from the bar counter in the dining room. Jing MO sat there, lost in thought.
Jing Mo t s tall and slender figure, juxtaposed with his lean silhouette on the floor, formed a simple sketch within the monotonous black-and-white room, making him appear lonely and desolate. Xia Xin unexpectedly felt a pang of pity.
Hearing Xia Xin’s movements as she got up, Jing MO turned to look at her. Approaching her, he stood in front of Xia Xin and, from his elevated position, gazed down at her. Backlit, Xia Xin couldn’t discern his expression.
Jing MO asked, “Did you encounter something again today?”
Xia Xin was momentarily taken aback and replied, “Why are you asking all of a sudden?”
Jing MO explained, “Every time you fall asleep like this, I know you’ve run into trouble. ”
Xia Xin realized that she couldn’t keep secrets from Jing Mo. So, Xia Xin briefly recounted the events of the afternoon and then said, “I wouldn’t sav it’s trouble this time; I was just helping someone, so I’m exhausted.”
Having finished speaking, Xia Xin glanced at the wall clock and noticed that it was already late at night. Compared to her previous episodes of sleeping for a whole day and night, a few hours of rest seemed short.
Suddenly, Xia Xin’s stomach emitted a loud growl. She laughed and looked at
Jing MO, “Is there any food left? I’m starving.”
Jing MO turned and went into the kitchen. After a while, he brought out a bowl of warm rice congee and said, “I noticed you hadn’t eaten when I found you sleeping on the couch. I had already made this and kept it warm in the rice cooker. Enjoy.”
Xia Xin sipped the congee and checked her phone for messages. She noticed that Zhao Nan had called her multiple times, but she hadn’t answered. Zhao Nan had sent her a message, saying that Xu Zhi’s talent agency was now established and they wanted to invite Zhao Nan to be an assistant talent manager.
After reading the message, Xia Xin casually discussed it with Jing Mo.
After hearing the summary, Jing MO commented, “Actually, going to Xu Zhi’s agency would be a better choice for Zhao Nan. Xu Zhi is already an established artist with years of experience in the industry. He has access to various resources and opportunities that can enhance Zhao Nan’s experience. On the other hand, you’re a newcomer in the entertainment industry without a solid foundation. It’s difficult for you to protect her.”
Xia Xin’s personality often led her to rush ahead, shielding those around her and putting herself in danger. Jing Mo hoped that she would become stronger, not only to protect others but also to safeguard herself.
Xia Xin found Jing Mo’s words reasonable. She replied to Zhao Nan, telling her to follow her own instincts and not to feel burdened by her decision…
