However, everything the host encounters serves the plot of the system world. Moreover, the host has broken the original owner's fate as cannon fodder. Now, due to the new plot and new side quests created by the host's influence, the system can only adjust their development direction, but cannot change or completely set them.
Although the host fell off a cliff, to prevent the host and Jiang Cuo from losing their lives in the system world and reverting to code, the slope initially decreased, becoming a hillside. However, it has now reverted to a cliff, and the host needs to find an exit on their own.
Su Qianqian listened to a long string of nonsense from the useless system, but after listening carefully, she still noticed something unusual.
That is, the system can only interfere with what happens to her, but cannot have a decisive influence.
That is to say, the same should apply to Jiang Cuo.
Jiang Cuo's reaction to the cliff-falling incident and his actions were all heartfelt.
Su Qianqian squatted down and gently stroked Jiang Cuo's burning cheeks. She lifted Jiang Cuo's hand, looked at the crisscrossing wounds on his palm, and felt guilty in her eyes.
She has been running away from her own feelings.
I've always felt that Jiang Cuo is just a two-dimensional character. Although he's good-looking and suits my taste, I can't fall in love with him because I'm afraid that no matter how I change, I won't be able to change my fate as cannon fodder.
But what's the point of thinking so much?
She struggled and worked hard for half her life in the original world, only to be inexplicably transported to this virtual world. She never expected this.
She had told Jiang Cuo that sincerity would be exchanged for sincerity.
Jiang Cuo did all of this from the bottom of his heart.
Jiang Cuo showed her true feelings, but what about her?
They've been using lies and evasion to disguise themselves.
Su Qianqian draped the clothes back over Jiang Cuo's body and then carried him in a princess carry.
"Jiang Jiang, wake up. I'll carry you and find a way out. Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Jiang Cuo opened his eyes groggily, feeling utterly weak and powerless. He could only obey Su Qianqian's commands. His legs were so weak that he could barely stand. He then leaned against Su Qianqian's back. His usually high ponytail was now hanging limply. His burning face was pressed against Su Qianqian's cheek, and his phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed but unfocused.
"Su... Qianqian...?"
Jiang Cuo's words, though seemingly simple, are imbued with a burning passion.
Su Qianqian's almond-shaped eyes softened, and she gently replied, "I'm here."
"Su Qianqian...it hurts so much."
"sorry."
"Su Qianqian...you don't love me..."
"sorry."
"I...don't want to hear it, I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry, I love you."
...
Su Qianqian and Jiang Cuo have gone missing.
This is a big deal.
Hua Kongque was frantic. She was the current student council president, and she had taken her student council members out to play, but she lost two students. She would have to take responsibility if they went back.
The deer antler was also extremely anxious.
Fang Yuanyuan strolled around leisurely, making a few exaggerated shouts.
Hua Kongque: "Hurry up and search! How could two grown people just vanish into thin air? The cliff is dangerous, but it's so big, they couldn't have fallen off, could they?"
Fang Yuanyuan then chimed in, "Yes, yes, how could such grown people just disappear into thin air? I've heard this place is quite mystical. Is there some kind of mountain god here? Did they do something wrong and were taken away by the mountain god?"
When Lu Rong heard Fang Yuanyuan's words, he frowned, took off his black-rimmed glasses, glared at Fang Yuanyuan and said, "As a senior, how can you talk about your junior like this? This is simply slander. The three of us were in the same class in high school. I sat behind the two of them. Su Qianqian and Jiang Cuo are both very nice people and are liked by the whole school."
Moreover, they are the top students in our city, excellent in both character and academics, and were directly admitted to university. They will definitely come back safely. You should apologize to both of them then.
Fang Yuanyuan rolled her eyes. "Where did this lackey come from?"
Lu Rong was furious, but too lazy to pay attention to her, and continued searching.
At that moment, a voice tinged with anger rang out.
"Fang Yuanyuan, is that right? You said that Jiang Cuo and I were taken away by the mountain god, right? I heard you saying bad things about me to the mountain god, and now I've come to collect my debt from you."
Hearing the sound, everyone turned around to look, and two figures slowly appeared on the path below the cliff.
Su Qianqian carried the unconscious Jiang Cuo on her back. Both of them were disheveled, their clothes were tattered and dirty, and they looked extremely wretched.
But Su Qianqian raised her eyes, her determination almost frightening, and took heavy steps, yet with extreme steadiness, as if she were carefully protecting Jiang Cuo, whom she was carrying on her back.
It was almost noon, and everyone was getting hungry, but they completely forgot about their hunger and were all stunned by Su Qianqian in front of them.
Did Su Qianqian carry Jiang Cuo back from the bottom of the cliff step by step like this?
Lu Rong immediately burst into tears of joy, feeling relieved and almost collapsing to the ground. "That's great, it's so good that you're alright."
The midday sun was scorching, and everyone was inevitably a little irritable, sweating profusely. A gentle breeze blew by, stirring up a lot of sand and dust on the ground. The sand and dust swept past Hua Kongque's eyes, but it couldn't stop her from looking at Su Qianqian.
Hua Kongque stared blankly at Su Qianqian, who was carrying Jiang Cuo back and had never left his side.
Su Qianqian is not tall, looks soft and weak, and is currently dirty. She looks at her with a cold gaze, but Su Qianqian is extremely cool and makes her feel very safe.
The flower jay's heart pounded uncontrollably, and she raised her hand to her chest.
Now that she's grown up, she finally knows what it feels like to like someone.
"I... have fallen in love with Su Qianqian."
A note from the author:
Jiang Cuo: Bad luck
Su Qianqian: Bad luck
Flower-headed Sparrow: I'm in love!
Chapter 51
[Waste System: Host, your phone clearly has a signal, why don't you just call the butler and have him find someone to locate you? You can just stay put and wait for rescue. What if this delays Jiang Cuo's optimal treatment time?]
Su Qianqian carried Jiang Cuo step by step to the front of their tent.
Without saying a word, she took some hot water and medicine and fed it to Jiang Cuo.
Then, calmly, I called the housekeeper, ignoring everyone else in the process.
After doing all this, he suddenly turned around, staring coldly at Fang Yuanyuan, revealing an unusually sharp aura.
Even if I call the housekeeper, are you sure I'll get what I want? Are you sure Jiang Cuo will get help immediately? The system has already set up this plot, isn't it just to make me suffer like this?
Carrying Jiang Cuo back step by step, I experienced firsthand the hardship he endured carrying me to safety. I wanted to experience the suffering he went through.
Su Qianqian was an orphan in her original world, with no one to rely on, so she closed herself off. She knew that a child without support could not gain true friends.
But once she's truly committed to someone, she won't let go and will treat that person with all her heart.
Jiang Cuo is her everything now.
Su Qianqian walked up to Fang Yuanyuan, glared at her fiercely, reached out and forcefully pinched Fang Yuanyuan's chin, "What is your relationship with Fang Jingjing? Why did you push me and Jiang Cuo off the cliff?"
After Su Qianqian finished speaking, everyone present was stunned and looked at Fang Yuanyuan.
Fang Yuanyuan, of course, denied it to the death. "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't think that just because you have money you can say whatever you want. You fell in by accident, and now you want to drag me down with you. And Fang Jingjing? What Fang Jingjing? I don't know her at all."
Su Qianqian tightened her grip, saying, "You can deny it, you can lie, but you have to bear the consequences of your own actions. You can hurt me, but if you lay a finger on Jiang Cuo, I will retaliate tenfold. You'd better watch yourself."
After Su Qianqian finished speaking, she forcefully shook her hand, viciously slapping Fang Yuanyuan's chin.
Fang Yuanyuan was startled by Su Qianqian's sudden burst of strength and was thrown to the ground.
He tilted his head to hide the fear on his face.
Impossible. How could Su Qianqian have guessed the relationship between her and Fang Jingjing? When she pushed Su Qianqian down, those words were clearly what she was thinking, and only the last sentence was shouted out.
The atmosphere was tense when suddenly a loud rumbling sound came from the sky.
When everyone looked up, they were surprised to see that it was a helicopter.
The butler stood calmly at the helicopter door, a walkie-talkie in his hand.
Although Su Qianqian felt a little embarrassed, she wasn't too surprised and thought it was quite reasonable for the housekeeper to do such a thing.
Then several black cars appeared nearby, and dozens of bodyguards in black got out.
Hua Kongque's family was of modest means, but she relied on her beauty to feel superior to everyone else. However, this was the first time she had ever seen such a grand occasion, and she felt both envious and expectant, believing that she was the one worthy of being Su Qianqian's leading lady.
The butler jumped out of the helicopter and looked at Su Qianqian respectfully.
Su Qianqian's expression was unusually cold. She picked up Jiang Cuo and put him on the helicopter. She turned her head to look at Fang Yuanyuan and said to the housekeeper, "This is the person who pushed us both off, but she denies it to the death. Investigate her thoroughly."
Butler: "Don't worry, Miss, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. I will not harm any innocent person, nor will I let those who do evil and pretend to be stupid get away with it."
...
The incident of two students falling off a cliff is no small matter, and it has already reached the ears of Principal Jiu You.
Pei Ziqu knocked on the principal's office door.
Jiuyou: "Come in."
Pei Ziqu: "I didn't expect you to actually say you wouldn't go to the family banquet. You should understand that Jiu Cuo doesn't want to apply to the school you attend."
Jiu You suppressed his thoughts, "Whether she wants to come or not, doesn't she know that she will become an exchange student and study at this school in her sophomore year? It's unnecessary."
Pei Ziqu: "Did you find out about that? Su Qianqian is just like her mother. She caused such a commotion right after the start of the semester. What should we do?"
Jiu You turned his chair around so he could look out the window. "What can we do? The evidence is right in front of us. Su Qianqian, that housekeeper, is no ordinary person. She persuaded that girl named Fang Yuanyuan to leave. She brought this upon herself; no one can help her now."
After saying that, Jiu You turned around and looked at Pei Ziqu, "You came to see me just to talk about this."
Pei Ziqu: "Of course not, I brought someone with me, come and meet him."
Pei Ziqu called out towards the door, "Come in."
Su Lian pushed open the door, timidly peering inside, and took small steps to stand in front of Jiu You.
Pei Ziqu: "This is Bai Qiu's child. I heard about her experiences. Bai Qiu gave her life for Xu Lian. I felt sorry for this child."
