“Third-level… action movie, what’s that?”
Bai Ningbing couldn’t tell if she really didn’t know or was just pretending.
But since she played dumb, Lin Guanqi naturally followed her lead.
“Then I don’t know either. I was going to say, if you’d seen one, I’d… Since you haven’t, forget it!”
With that, she picked up her noodles and started eating. This really made Bai Ningbing anxious.
“Actually, I know a bit about this sort of thing, so, what are you trying to say?”
Lin Guanqi smiled, patted Bai Ningbing’s shoulder, and said, “It’s nothing~ You’ve seen it, so what? Haven’t eaten pork, but haven’t you at least seen a pig run?”
“If you weren’t sick today, you’d already be my food. Hurry up and eat. If it’s not enough, I’ll go make you some more.”
“Alright, but, are you treating me like a pig? Am I really that big of an eater?”
A smile tugged at the corners of Bai Ningbing’s mouth. That cold, intimidating face finally became cute.
Lin Guanqi took out a sketchbook from under her pillow, brand new with nothing drawn inside.
“If you make me mad, I’ll draw a heart in here. If I fill the whole book, I’ll let you never find me again.”
Of course, that was just a joke—Lin Guanqi simply wanted to draw.
But Bai Ningbing didn’t take it that way. She believed it.
“Okay. I definitely won’t let a single heart appear in that sketchbook.”
Her tone was as solemn as a vow.
Lin Guanqi hadn’t expected Bai Ningbing to take her words so seriously. For a moment, she was at a loss, but quickly understood—Bai Ningbing always paid attention to details that she herself overlooked. Maybe, that was one of her strengths?
Her surprised smile softened into a doting one.
“Alright.”
After eating and drinking their fill, Lin Guanqi’s eyelids felt weighed down, blinking slowly.
“I’m a bit sleepy…”
She yawned and drifted off to sleep.
The sound of her even breathing made Bai Ningbing move extra carefully, afraid to wake her.
She brushed aside the hair on Lin Guanqi’s forehead, pressing her lips gently to it.
“Good thing the fever’s gone.”
Letting out a breath of relief, Bai Ningbing began tidying up the bowls and chopsticks.
“You remembered everything about us—maybe it’s because heaven finally saw my sincerity…”
Normally, she didn’t believe in gods, but when it came to Lin Guanqi—or anything about her—Bai Ningbing was willing to believe.
Time flew by, and it was soon 3 PM.
Lin Guanqi woke up groggy from her dream, realizing that in her previous life, she had been Xu Jiaojiao.
“System, why do you think I suddenly remembered my past life?”
【This isn’t normal, Host. It’s possible your past self arrived in this world with a different system, whereas I am the Magical Girl System and have no such records.】
After hearing this, Lin Guanqi came up with a bold theory. She said, “Could it be that this world doesn’t have just you as a system?”
【I can’t guarantee anything, but logically, this world does have more than just me. Systems also have divisions. For others, this could be a novel world, and their task might be to conquer love interests.】
【It could also be a real world to someone else, with transmigrators who cross over via soul or body. All sorts of possibilities exist.】
【System 001—-leakage detected—punishment initiated—】
System! System!
After a burst of static, no matter how Lin Guanqi called for it, the system didn’t answer again.
Was it because it had leaked too many secrets about this world and got punished?
It seemed there was an even higher controller above this system.
Out of the corner of her eye, Lin Guanqi saw Bai Ningbing lying at the edge of the bed.
Her eyelashes were really long…
If it weren’t for her temper, she’d actually be quite beautiful.
Lin Guanqi poked Bai Ningbing’s cheek—something she’d long wanted to do.
“So squishy!”
But… in her previous life, Xu Jiaojiao had cancer. In her memories, there were no scenes of fighting exotic beasts. Could it be her memories hadn’t fully returned?
With a sigh, Lin Guanqi recalled how meticulously Bai Ningbing had cared for her while she was sick. Whether she remembered or not—did it really matter? At the very least, their relationship was pretty good.
It was just that Lin Guanqi really didn’t like Bai Ningbing’s way of taking matters into her own hands.
Things she assumed might end up troublesome for Lin Guanqi.
“You’re awake!”
Bai Ningbing slowly opened her beautiful eyes. Seeing Lin Guanqi sit up, she immediately reached out to touch her forehead.
“Ah, don’t worry. My fever’s gone! I’m bursting with energy now, see for yourself!”
As she spoke, Lin Guanqi showed off her nonexistent muscles.
But Bai Ningbing played along, giving her plenty of positive energy.
“Amazing! Amazing! Looks like my Jiaojiao’s recovered.”
“Hmph, who’s your Jiaojiao? I never agreed to that.”
Lin Guanqi chuckled.
“Oh? Then who was it making all those promises to me? It’s too late to back out now!”
With that, Bai Ningbing pounced, pinning Lin Guanqi down.
After last time’s lesson, Bai Ningbing didn’t dare act too boldly.
Instead, she carefully asked, “Is it alright?”
Lin Guanqi hadn’t expected Bai Ningbing to ask for her opinion, and seemed a bit surprised. She turned her head away and replied softly, “Be gentle…”
With clear permission, Bai Ningbing couldn’t hold back anymore.
“Don’t… stop.”
“Too late.”
Lin Guanqi tried to suppress any sound, but once her sensitive spots were touched, she couldn’t help letting out a warbling moan.
“Not there…”
Suddenly, Bai Ningbing paused. “Really? Then I’ll stop.”
But Lin Guanqi grabbed her without a word, just holding her tightly.
How could Bai Ningbing not understand what that meant?
“My Jiaojiao is still the shy type, huh?”
This time, no matter how much Lin Guanqi begged, Bai Ningbing never stopped—instead, she grew even more intense.
“Ha… mm..”
Half an hour later.
The school uniform that had covered Lin Guanqi now only left a thin shirt.
Her neck was marked with several hickeys, and her face was flushed red.
“Jiaojiao, do you regret it?”
Asking someone if they regret it after the fact—was there really room for a reversal?
“I… If I regret it, what will you do?”
Bai Ningbing thought for a moment, then answered, “If you regret it, I’ll go die and return your innocence.”
“Ah… don’t, I was just kidding! Please don’t do that, or I’ll become a murderer.”
“So you mean… you don’t regret it?”
Lin Guanqi curled up on the bed.
“Mm, I don’t regret it. But, if you do anything in the future that makes me regret it, I’ll disappear right away!”
By then, she could always return to her original world. But Bai Ningbing probably wouldn’t go that far.
