Chapter 9 Campus Unrequited Love (8)
As Xia Mingwei walked along the road, she became increasingly angry, feeling sorry for the original owner of this body.
It turns out that her unrequited love wasn't just a one-woman show. In the eyes of the person in question, he had always been aware of her feelings. However, he chose to remain indifferent, saying nothing, letting her silently indulge her emotions in the shadows until they eventually spiraled out of control.
And now, they even have the audacity to ask the original owner to "pretend to be his girlfriend," their matter-of-fact attitude is infuriating, it's like they're absolutely certain the original owner will agree to it.
Knowing the truth of everything, Xia Mingwei felt dizzy and overwhelmed by a wave of sadness. She knew it was the lingering emotions of the original owner of the body at work. Unlike the last time she sensed the original owner's emotions, this time they were incredibly powerful, as if trying to seize control of the body.
A wave of sorrow gripped Xia Mingwei's heart, binding her soul, threatening to overwhelm her. She could no longer hold back; crystal tears welled in her eyes and streamed down her cheeks. She tried to stop crying, but the tears wouldn't stop, so she let them flow.
Xia Mingwei, who always presented a strong image, rarely showed such vulnerability. This deeply hurt and heartbroken Xia Mingwei startled He Youyou, who was standing nearby.
Back in the dorm, seeing Xia Mingwei already in tears, her other roommates gathered around her, asking He Youyou what had happened on her trip.
When her roommate asked, He Youyou shook her head, saying that the distance was too great and she wasn't quite sure what Xia Mingwei and Lin Zeyang were talking about. She only knew that Xia Mingwei had returned looking like this after the conversation ended.
After an unknown amount of time, Xia Mingwei finally stopped crying. She explained the whole story to her roommate while sobbing, and expressed the bitterness in her heart.
After hearing Xia Mingwei's explanation, He Youyou was so angry that she immediately cursed, "How is this any different from the behavior of a scumbag? I used to think he was a nice guy!"
Others chimed in, "That's right, that's right! I always thought he was unaware of Weiwei's feelings for him, but it turns out he was just pretending not to know!"
"This person is too cunning. It seems I should stay away from people like this in the future, or I won't even know how I died!"
......
They chimed in, each taking Xia Mingwei's side, condemning the scumbag and Lin Zeyang's despicable behavior. Hearing these caring and heartwarming words, Xia Mingwei felt most of her initial sadness washed away, and their concerned words mended and pieced her broken heart back together.
After calming herself down, Xia Mingwei decided to have a good talk with Xiao Ba.
"Xiao Ba, what happened? Do you know how dangerous that was? I almost lost control of my body!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ba scratched his head sheepishly, "Host, I'm sorry! Because I'm a new system, it's quite basic. When the original owner has residual emotions, they tend to overtake control of the body when they get agitated, so I can't control them for now!"
"But if I upgrade later, this kind of thing will be a piece of cake!" Seeing Xia Mingwei's gloomy face, Xiao Ba was afraid that Xia Mingwei was really angry, so he hurriedly added.
It seems there's still a chance for things to turn around. After hearing Xiao Ba's reply that things could be changed, Xia Mingwei's expression finally eased a little.
"But what exactly is this 'upgrade' you're talking about? I've never heard you mention it before. How do you upgrade?" Xia Mingwei bombarded Xiao Ba with a series of questions.
"this...."
Seeing Xiao Ba's evasive eyes and hesitant speech, Xia Mingwei's intuition told her that the upgrade was not so simple and there must be another hidden story.
She wiped the smile from her face, her expression turning serious as she narrowed her eyes and said, "Xiao Ba, are you hiding something from me?"
"No, of course not! How could I dare to hide anything from you?" Xiao Ba denied it three times in a row. But as soon as the words left her mouth, she lowered her head because she was extremely guilty.
"Xiao Ba, look me in the eyes. Are you really not hiding anything from me?"
Upon hearing the question, Xiao Ba took a deep breath, and could no longer hide what was on its mind, blurting it all out. "Actually, it's nothing much. My upgrade energy mainly depends on the quality of the tasks you complete, host. However, the energy is limited, and you have full control over it. You can choose to equip yourself or upgrade the system as you wish."
"So, if I'm in charge of energy distribution, why are you only telling me this now?"
"Because, because..." Faced with the sudden question, Xiao Ba stammered and couldn't speak.
Seeing Xiao Ba's guilty look, Xia Mingwei felt a little tempted to tease it, and deliberately dragged out her words, "Oh, I know, you deliberately kept this from me, you must want to keep all the energy for yourself."
Faced with this enormous pot that had fallen from the sky, Xiao Ba immediately refused to accept it! Puffing out her cheeks, she angrily retorted, "Who said I wanted to hog it all? My appetite isn't that big!" As she spoke, Xiao Ba nervously cracked her knuckles. "I only want a small portion of the energy. I heard that the other small systems that came out with me are being enslaved by their current hosts, who won't let them level up. I'm afraid if I tell you this, you'll do the same to me." Thinking of her painful memories, Xiao Ba actually started to cry.
So this is the truth of the matter. Looking at the frightened and uneasy Xiao Ba, Xia Mingwei felt that it was necessary to have an open and honest heart-to-heart talk with Xiao Ba.
She crouched down and patted Xiao Ba's head. "Xiao Ba, look at me!"
Seeing Xiao Ba's tearful face, Xia Mingwei continued, "Xiao Ba, you need to understand that we are one now, we share the same fate, we share the same fate! Do you understand?"
Little Eight blinked its innocent big eyes and shook its head.
Xia Mingwei sighed deeply, "This child, how can he be so silly!"
She cleared her throat and said seriously, "In other words, I will definitely share some of the energy I collect from the missions with you! You don't need to worry about that!"
Upon hearing Xia Mingwei's reply, Xiao Ba's listless demeanor vanished, replaced by a burst of energy. It flapped its wings and circled around Xia Mingwei, asking, "Are you really willing to share your energy with me?"
Seeing Xiao Ba's earnest expression, Xia Mingwei had no choice but to nod again. After receiving an affirmative answer, Xiao Ba gave Xia Mingwei a kiss on the cheek with a "smack".
This conversation not only determined the future direction of the energy, but also brought Xia Mingwei and Xiao Ba closer together.
