Jiang Cuo deliberately lowered his voice and softened his tone, "I didn't mean to kick you out, it's just that your grandparents didn't know you came in the middle of the night. Seeing that you slept here all night, they will definitely have doubts, and it will be quite troublesome to explain."
Su Qianqian looked up in confusion and saw that Jiang Cuo's usually cold face actually carried a trace of guilt.
Whatever the reason, when such a good thing happens, of course we should seize the opportunity.
"Really? How does Jiang Jiang plan to make it up to me?"
Jiang Cuo hooked her index finger up and used the knuckle to punch Su Qianqian's forehead. "You're faking it again. I won't believe you next time."
Su Qianqian finished the millet porridge in one gulp, then quickly placed the bowl on the bedside table. Seeing Jiang Cuo get up, she hurriedly got out of bed to chase after him, saying, "No, I wasn't pretending. Jiang Jiang can't go back on her word."
"Otherwise... Jiang Jiang can admit that she was angry last night, and that she was angry because she was jealous."
Like a little sparrow, Su Qianqian circled around Jiang Jiang and hovered around Jiang Cuo. Jiang Cuo dodged left and right, turning her face away, afraid that Su Qianqian would see her flushed cheeks.
Jiang Cuo had no choice but to reach out and cover Su Qianqian's face with his open fingers, as if he were pressing a seal on her.
Jiang Cuo said, "If you dawdle any longer, you can leave on your own. I won't see you off."
Su Qianqian: "No, no, no, I won't make a fuss anymore."
Su Qianqian walked out of Jiang Cuo's room with her hands behind her back.
The new shoes are already placed at the door.
Su Qianqian felt as if she had forgotten something, but Jiang Cuo was already dressed and simply took her arm and pulled her out.
The two went downstairs. Su Qianqian was a little shy when she saw Jiang Cuo, so she only hooked her index finger with Jiang Cuo's little finger and walked leisurely one in front of the other.
As soon as the two left the residential area and walked onto the main road, a long black sedan pulled up in front of them. Three burly men in black got out instantly, grabbed Jiang Cuo, and took him into the car. Su Qianqian had just put her left foot on the car door, trying to pull Jiang Cuo out, when one of the burly men in black kicked her off.
Before Su Qianqian could even utter a curse, her first instinct was to search for her phone. She rummaged through her pockets but found them empty. Oh no! She realized she had left something behind – her phone on Jiang Cuo's bed.
Su Qianqian wanted to immediately flag down the taxi behind her.
[Useless System: A friendly reminder to the host: Because you have obtained the "Jiang Cuo's Mood Value Uninterrupted Scroll," you are now triggering an unconditional adherence to the plot. Please follow the limousine in front of you and run at full speed.]
Su Qianqian: "Huh?"
Even if it's a system event, chasing after it like this doesn't treat the host like a human being.
However, although Su Qianqian was thinking, her legs were no longer under her control, and she began to run after the black car that had already sped away.
And he was waving his hands as he ran.
It had just rained heavily last night, and the water on the road hadn't receded yet. She ran all the way at an absurd speed, like an electric scooter accelerating, splashing water all over the roadside and getting pedestrians' faces wet.
The pedestrian stared blankly ahead, like an unidentified flying object, listening to the distant voice drifting over, "I...I...sorry..."
Su Qianqian suddenly felt that her current appearance was exactly like the cartoon character she saw while scrolling through short videos on her phone: the girlfriend is on a train, and the other half is running frantically under the train, like a little dumpling, running so hard that their legs can't even separate.
And why is there a video dubbing in my mind that I saw in the original world?
Swallow, swallow, wait for me! How can I live without you?
Su Qianqian: ...
[Useless System: Don't worry, in the system-mandated storyline, you will have some physical advantages, so there's no need to worry about your physical health.]
Jiang Cuo sat calmly in the black sedan, looking at the three burly men in black around her. Turning her head, she was surprised to see Su Qianqian chasing closely behind her through the tinted car window. Although she was somewhat shocked, she felt that this was also expected. Su Qianqian seemed to be able to do such a thing for her. It is said that people can unleash unlimited potential under extreme circumstances.
Su Qianqian almost activated her superpowers for her, does she love her that much?
"Little girl, don't move. We brothers are just doing this for money. As long as you behave, we won't hurt you."
Although the big man's words weren't particularly harsh, his appearance and tone were so menacing that even a deaf person would immediately recognize him as the murderer.
What is your purpose?
Jiang Cuo's sharp gaze swept over the three burly men in black in front of her, and then glanced at the two men sitting in the driver's seat and the passenger seat.
"You're quite calm, young lady." A burly man in black took out a dagger from his pocket. It was gleaming and reflective, clearly extremely sharp.
"As long as you behave, Uncle's knife is sharp and won't hurt you."
Just then, the car braked suddenly, using the wind to avoid hitting him. The man accidentally cut the back of his other hand, and blood gushed out instantly. His eyes widened in anger, and he yelled at the car in front, "Why did you suddenly stop without telling anyone beforehand?"
"The light is red now."
Jiang Cuo: "?" Even robbers obey traffic rules?
At this moment, the injured man wiped his blood with a tissue, put the dagger back, and picked up another one. "I'd better get a different one, be careful of infection."
Jiang Cuo: "..."
The man in the passenger seat, smoking and wearing glasses, saw someone chasing after the car from behind the reverse lane. He was so startled that the cigarette butt fell onto his pants, burning him and making him yell.
"Big brother, big brother, there's a monster! There's a monster behind us! It's catching up!"
The man waiting at the red light, one foot still on the clutch, replied impatiently, "What? Don't talk nonsense. This is a scientific society now. Are you lonely and stupid because you can't find a partner? I told you to smoke less, eat more vegetables, and lose weight. If you can't lose weight, you can't poop. Who do you think would want you?"
The man in the passenger seat couldn't keep up with the cigarette butt on his lap anymore and kept tugging at the driver, saying, "Brother, look, look!"
Before the man in the driver's seat could react, Su Qianqian had already caught up with the car waiting at the red light. At first, she was waving her arms as she ran, but gradually she started covering her face to avoid making too much of a fool of herself.
This damn system is making her increase her integration with the system world, which is making her completely out of place in this world.
Su Qianqian ran to the side of the car waiting at the red light and pulled open the door.
I realized that after running for so long, when I stopped, my face wasn't flushed, my heart was racing, and I was still panting.
Su Qianqian yanked open the car door, tidied her wind-blown bangs with one hand, and reached out her other hand towards Jiang Cuo inside the car, as if she were a goddess descending to earth, radiating light as she appeared before Jiang Cuo to save him.
When Su Qianqian saw the bloodstains on Jiang Cuo's body, her expression instantly turned gloomy.
When Jiang Cuo saw Su Qianqian, his pupils dilated and his gaze became somewhat unfocused. Could someone really have gone to such lengths?
[Useless System: Don't worry, host. In this world where people are obsessed with love, anything done for love will be considered perfectly normal.]
The uncle, whose hand had just been stabbed by a sharp dagger, saw that he hadn't even completed his mission yet and had already been caught up with. Moreover, the car door had been opened, and he realized that the hostage he had finally obtained was about to escape. He quickly opened a new dagger and slashed at Jiang Cuo's neck.
Su Qianqian took a quick step forward and reached out to block Jiang Cuo's neck.
For a moment, everyone held their breath, not daring to make a sound. The silence was so profound that the sound of Su Qianqian's blood dripping onto Jiang Cuo's neck could be clearly heard.
The man panicked and let go. "I only wanted to cut some of her hair. I didn't expect to hurt her. I was pricking my own hand. Why is it so hard to earn money in the city? If it weren't for the nice clothes, I wouldn't have taken this job. I'm never coming to the city to take jobs again."
Of all Jiang Cuo's senses, the only thing he can perceive right now is Su Qianqian.
Is this the kind of unwavering love described in the book?
Jiang Cuo swallowed, his eyes deep, suppressing his thoughts.
Does Su Qianqian love her that much?
A note from the author:
Su Qianqian: Jiang Jiang, don't go, don't leave me.

Chapter Sixty-Three
Su Qianqian heard the uncle's panicked monologue and managed a pale smile.
[Useless System: Don't worry, host, the pain is only temporary. As soon as the story ends, the system will immediately provide you with healing treatment. And as long as you bandage your hand, no one will notice anything unusual. Isn't that thoughtful of you, little waste?]
Thoughtful? Thoughtful my ass.
So what? When the time comes, she'll have to commit suicide. She'll slit her own throat, experience the feeling of death, and then be resurrected. That'll be compensation for her?
[Useless System: Host, you can't think like that.]
The middle-aged man in the bodyguard-like suit hurriedly released the dagger, spreading his fingers and raising his hands above his head in a gesture of surrender. The other middle-aged men were also panicked and didn't know what to say. When they saw blood on Su Qianqian's hands, their first reaction was to get out of the car and run away. Even the two men in the driver's seat and the passenger seat got out and ran away.
Su Qianqian held the sharp dagger tightly, not daring to move, for the slightest movement would make the wound deeper.
She looked at Jiang Cuo's stiff body. Jiang Cuo sat there still, not daring to even touch her hand.
However, Jiang Cuo's current expression surprised her somewhat.
Jiang Cuo's eyebrows furrowed, almost twisting into a knot. His eyes were terrifyingly cold, with a fierce edge. His hands were clenched tightly, his fists clenched so hard that the veins on the back of his hands bulged.
"Jiang Jiang, I'm fine."
[Useless System: Don't worry, the host's butler has noticed your absence and is on its way. Please hang in there a little longer.]
After hearing the notification from the waste system, Su Qianqian gradually felt the pain in her palms slowly subside.
Su Qianqian used her other hand to grasp Jiang Cuo's clenched fist and gently placed it on the back of Jiang Cuo's hand.
"Why?"
Jiang Cuo spoke abruptly. His voice was extremely dry, and his lips were chapped. (Novel group 87168??55)
"What?"
Su Qianqian didn't understand Jiang Cuo's inexplicable words.
"Why would you go to such lengths for me?"
Jiang Cuo gritted his teeth, each word seeming to burst from the roots of his teeth. His usually aloof but calm face was now somewhat tense.
"Are you stupid? Catching such a sharp blade with your bare hands? Have you been watching too many romance dramas?"
Jiang Cuo's emotions unusually carried a hint of anger.
Jiang Cuo usually kept his emotions hidden, always maintaining a cool and indifferent expression. Even if Su Qianqian angered him, he would only show a hint of kindness and exude a more aloof aura, but he never showed it on his face, let alone such outward anger.
Judging from Jiang Cuo's current appearance, she is very angry, so much so that her chest is trembling. Her phoenix eyes are wide open, and there are already slightly red blood vessels on them.
"Jiang Jiang..."
"Enough, are you going to just say a few words lightly as an explanation?"
My phone was thrown into the driver's seat, so I can't make calls or call the police. Where's your phone? Why didn't you call for help immediately? What are you doing wasting time with me? Do you want to bleed to death? Is this your way of proving love? You have to hurt yourself to prove how great your love is.
Jiang Cuo spoke much faster than usual, especially since Su Qianqian's hand was near her neck.
