Renhe Hospital
"Am I... going to make it?"
Before the words were even out, Qiu Xi, who had just opened her eyes on the stretcher, fainted again.
Who would have thought that a major general among the college entrance examination reserves… well, a mongrel, finally got ready to enjoy the winter break, only to get into a car accident right after leaving school.
...
When she opened her eyes again, it was a vast expanse of… white ceiling.
"Hiss~"
Touching the large bump on her head, Qiu Xi was truly speechless. Unlucky people get their teeth stuck while drinking water; she was caught in the crossfire of two colliding vehicles.
Before she could fully process what was happening, she heard the sound of a door opening.
"Xiao Xi, you're awake! How do you feel, are you okay?"
Qiu Xi: "Auntie, I'm fine, just my head hurts a little."
"Good, good, good, it's good that you're awake." Holding the report, Huang Xian breathed a sigh of relief. She was finally awake; otherwise, she wouldn't know how to explain to her sister.
School was out today, and at her sister's request, she went to pick up the child. But just as they were about to get into the car after leaving school, this incident occurred.
"You be careful next time, don't run around with your eyes closed, watch where you're going..."
Seeing her aunt's nagging, Qiu Xi had to speak up quickly.
"Auntie, I promise I'll be careful next time."
Honestly, it wasn't entirely her fault. Who could have predicted that someone would drive like that right outside the school? It was rather speechless =_=
Seeing her niece's expression, Huang Xian knew exactly what she was thinking and didn't say anything more.
"You! Anyway, your mother will be here soon..."
Before she could finish speaking, a commotion came from the doorway.
"How... how is it? Is Xiao Xi okay... What did the doctor say?"
Covered in a thin layer of sweat, Huang Li finally finished speaking, panting.
"Mom, I'm fine."
"Sister, we just took an X-ray. The doctor said it's not serious. You'll just need to be observed here today, and then they'll prescribe some medicine."
"That's good, that's good."
As she spoke, she went forward to check on Qiu Xi. Only when she saw that there was truly nothing seriously wrong did she relax. She had been terrified when she first heard the news and had rushed over frantically.
"Mom, it's okay, don't worry too much."
Saying that, she took out a tissue and helped wipe the sweat from her mother's forehead.
"Okay, okay, it's good that you're okay."
"Alright, sister, stop worrying. The doctor said it's fine. Let's go get Xiao Xi something to eat so she can rest here properly."
"Xiao Xi, we'll go out for a bit. You rest well."
"Yes, hurry and go."
With that said, the two tidied up and left with their bags.
Qiu Xi was left alone in the empty ward, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Suddenly, a cold, mechanical voice echoed.
"System activated. Bind?"
What the heck? Had I lost too much blood? Was my brain malfunctioning, starting to hallucinate?
"You are not hallucinating."
The voice sounded again, and Qiu Xi trembled all over.
"Who's there? Stop playing tricks, come out!"
"I am not a person. I am a system."
"System? System?" She repeated the words, and suddenly memories of the melodramatic novels she watched with her roommate Tang Siran flashed through her mind. Never mind the rest, but systems were truly incredible.
As Qiu Xi thought and let her mind wander, she inexplicably started to laugh foolishly.
"Stop thinking! Stop thinking!"
"..."눈_눈
So overbearing. Not even allowed to think.
"Do you wish to bind? Friendly reminder, your time is running out."
"Your time is running out."
"Bind, bind, bind!"
(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
After binding, Qiu Xi saw a flash of golden light before her eyes and rubbed her hands, feeling a strange sense of excitement.
"Uh... welcome!"
As soon as she finished speaking, all that remained before her was a perfectly ordinary introduction panel...
Honestly, this was somewhat...
Looking at the panel again, there was a task column, a skill column, and a shop. And there was nothing on it, which was… very unremarkable.
"I didn't expect you to have such self-awareness."
"That's... what did you say?"
"Nothing. Now that the host has bound, Little Flower will issue tasks to the host to help you grow as soon as possible."
"Little Flower... I think you should be called a Venus flytrap."
"As long as the host likes it."
"..."
"Then, Little Flower, when can you issue tasks, and what are the rewards?"
After looking for a long time and finding nothing else to research besides the panel, the helpless Qiu Xi finally asked Little Flower.
"When the time is right, I will issue them. As for the rewards, they will be revealed when the tasks come out."
"Okay, then I guess I can only wait."
Thinking about it, Qiu Xi, finding herself extremely bored, wanted to chat with Little Flower about things that cost no money.
"Little Flower, why did you choose me?"
"By chance."
"Then where do you come from?"
"From where I came from."
"..."
"Alright, I can't chat anymore. I'm going to sleep!"
Saying that, she flopped down like a salted fish and fell asleep.
