Quick Transmigration: Leisure

"An Irresponsible Side Story"

Merry Christmas!

Winter night,

In a world covered in ice and snow, only the stars guide the way. In the cold polar region where black and white blend together, a small wooden house emits a warm yellow glow, seemingly echoing the stars in the sky, creating a heartwarming scene.

A beam of light leaking from the window cast a shadow on the snow, leaving a small, safe haven for two shivering little animals with their heads buried in the snow.

Their fur is naturally designed to protect them from the ravages of wind and snow, but a series of unexpected events have disrupted this, and it's uncertain whether they will even survive until dawn.

"Year after year, I feel like I've lost all feeling..."

"Waaah, Youmi, cheer up! Move closer to my stomach, I have experience!" Niannian's voice was intermittent, but full of confidence and hope. This was due to her naturally positive emotions, her extensive experience, and her lack of human-like tactile sensitivity.

"Niannian, can we go in?"

Laughter and music came from inside the house, along with the crackling sound of firewood burning out. Xia Youmi was so cold that she couldn't open her eyes. For the first time, she longed to be helped and taken back by a kind person.

“It’s alright, we can handle it. We’re Greenland dogs, we’re used to being outdoors. Bringing us inside would only hurt us,” Niannian comforted her as she nudged her. “We’re sensitive to heat. Even if this family sees us frozen, they won’t bring us inside.”

"Ugh." But Xia Youmi was really, really cold.

Year after year, she moved her body, which was the same size as before, and laboriously licked the little white dog's head.

"Youmi, you're just not used to the extreme cold yet. It's all in your head. You'll be fine. We'll be alright."

No matter how positive or rational they were, they all knew one fact: the bodies they were giving birth to were probably less than three months old and had no ability to survive independently. Their "mother" had frozen to death outdoors due to injuries and could no longer provide warmth, and this family was not their master.

Leaving the already stiff and cold "mother" and running to this small wooden house had exhausted all my strength. At least this direction could block the cold wind and prevent things from getting worse.

This time,

Even Xia Youmi turned into a puppy, and Niannian and she became completely separate individuals, so she could no longer use her mind to scan and obtain more information and comforting images.

According to Nian Nian's description, the surroundings were all vast and boundless.

The only temporary outpost within sight was a hunter couple who had been caught in a blizzard on their way back and had to stop to repair their sled before waiting for the bad weather to pass.

Because of this delay, the couple had no choice but to stay in the cabin for the holiday.

Fortunately, they were experienced and familiar with the terrain. More importantly, they were optimistic. Even though they couldn't make it back in time, they didn't complain. Instead, they celebrated on the spot and distributed the prey to their dogs during the day.

Not far away, there were twelve adult dogs that almost blended into the snow.

They all curled up into a hemispherical shape, their fur frozen into an ice shell. But this was not a bad thing for them; it was like wearing armor, which helped them resist the cold and lock in their body temperature.

They knew Xia Youmi and Niannian were not with them, but seeing only cubs crawling towards them, they did not try to drive them away even though the smell was off.

The space between them near the cabin was left empty, and after the danger was eliminated, they huddled together and lay down to sleep.

From another perspective,

They are like knights surrounded in the center of a castle, cold and valiant, waiting for their successors to learn how to protect themselves.

During the process, no interference will be allowed.

but,

"Hunger..." The physiological instinct is hard to resist.

While the couple was feeding their dogs meat, Xia Youmi and Niannian were still crawling slowly in the distance. By the time they came over, the meat had already been prepared and they had eaten their fill. Besides, even if they had arrived in time, they wouldn't have been able to eat raw meat at their age.

Let alone overcoming psychological barriers, they can't even process the facts.

"There's rice here, right here."

Every year, it stopped licking its petting, buried its head in the snow and searched around. It dug with its paws and found a layer of even cleaner white snow underneath. Its eyes sparkled with hope.

Eating snow directly is a last resort. Moreover, even snow must be held in the mouth and warmed before swallowing.

"Hey."

Xia Youmi's sense of balance wasn't very good, and she fell headfirst into the snow.

She was so confused by the environment that she couldn't muster any energy.

Fortunately, Xue managed to eat it without any problems.

The commotion they made eventually made one or two adult dogs open their eyes. Their blue-green pupils, gleaming in the moonlight, stared at the slowly moving puppies, their breathing becoming somewhat heavy.

They were worried about being treated as an outsider and driven away.

Xia Youmi and Niannian tilted their heads, feigning ignorance with ease.

The "lead dogs" in the group were two female dogs. They were strong and beautiful, and it was clear that they had gone through different stages of pregnancy. One of them should be about five weeks postpartum, almost finished but with a little bit of pregnancy left.

It was also the most excited, the most concerned, and the most vigilant about the arrival of Xia Youmi and Niannian.

Seeing their pitiful state, I couldn't control my instincts and wanted to go over and lick them.

But there was no desire, the puppy didn't whine and try to snuggle into my arms, so I was able to suppress my maternal instincts since I didn't have the chance to adopt it.

Compared to its restraint.

The other lead dog, having long since outgrown its period of being controlled, was much more at ease.

It observes and waits for the cubs to save themselves. If they cannot withstand the strain, there is no need for them to grow up. They can simply merge with the world and become part of the scenery.

"Ow..."

Xia Youmi swallowed snow water three times, and gradually her stomach felt heavier, but her head felt like it was going to explode.

I search for survival methods every year.

Its size was simply too much to cover, but it provided absolute warmth, allowing Yumi to complete her difficult transition period.

It also knows that Mi trusts and depends on it, which is why it lets itself be so vulnerable.

If only Mi is left to struggle for survival, she will be filled with boundless strength and unleash unimaginable energy.

but,

That process was really tough.

Each expenditure requires a long time and constant reminders to replenish the lost energy.

therefore,

As soon as they realized their situation, they took the initiative to say, "Let me take the lead in planning everything. You just need to follow along. You don't need to think too much. Use the rest of your energy to adapt to the environment and your physical condition."

Xia Youmi agreed to it, and casually uttered many things without her own opinion. She was fearful, coquettish, uneasy, hungry, weak and uncomfortable.

Listening to it year after year, I once again experienced the bitterness of heartbreak.

Despite being a system, even though it was once a puppy, it lacks a precise understanding of good and bad. Pain and pleasure seem to be positive, without distinction.

Its emotions are deeply dependent on Xia Youmi's facial expressions and language, taking her standards as the benchmark. That is, the time when it touched the edge of the word "love" in centimeters.

then,

More complex states can be data or images, but they are almost devoid of perception.

Currently, I cannot bring happiness and security to my family. Every year, a bitter feeling arises, like breathing problems. My physical symptoms have gone too far, and I am experiencing problems that are difficult to heal on my own.

Surgery is necessary, and external assistance is required.

"Year after year...the stars are so bright."

Xia Youmi's gentle voice broke the silence, leading Niannian out of her perceptual predicament.

But looking down at the sky with your head on the ground doesn't mean that this moment is romantic and safe.

Despite having only one-third the vision of a human, it is still drawn to the clear, sparkling light, no longer focusing on its physical body, and letting life slip away.

in this way,

Instead, they gradually become less influenced by their environment and lose their senses.

Niannian originally tried to press down on her to make sure that Mi wouldn't freeze, but to no avail. It slid down comically, and Niannian had to avoid any parts that might cause suffocation, which was really difficult for Niannian, who was in the same physiological state.

"Let me be the system, Nian Nian."

"No! You can play with me, but you can't become a system, that's not right."

If the system can sense even the faintest sadness and negative emotions, then if this role were given to humans, they would have to endure a million times more pressure and confinement.

We won't let Youmi take any risks.

At this moment, Nian Nian didn't actually consider the feasibility or the probability of even a few points. She just kept thinking, if it doesn't work out, she has money. She shouldn't have to endure this kind of emotional pattern, and her life shouldn't be dictated to her!

We must find a way to turn things around.

"Haha, Niannian, I already guessed what you were thinking." Being able to see the puppy's appearance, even the system would change its muscle structure due to emotional bullying, so Xia Youmi easily deciphered the anxiety.

However, its factory settings reject these negative emotions.

In such a complicated situation, one's mind is probably exploding like fireworks, with smoke billowing out.

"Niannian, I'm fine, I'm not cold anymore."

"Youmi." Upon hearing this, Nian Nian instinctively moved closer, trying to determine whether she had truly overcome everything or had lost consciousness and was about to walk towards the finish line.

"Alright, Niannian, stop itching. If you keep wasting your energy, you won't live to see dawn." Youmi's voice was very soft, almost inaudible, but she tried her best to keep it high so that Niannian could immediately understand her emotions.

"..."

She laughed as she lost consciousness, thinking that Nian Nian had been coaxed into a dream with its own ups and downs.

My dreams are soft and warm.

Her body was lifted into the air.

My belly is no longer afraid of the snow, and not a single gust of wind can get in.

The air around my ears was soft and soothing, no longer filled with the terrifying chill of the wind.

really,

It was a beautiful night.

at night,

Every year it makes new friends, and these friends are willing to obey its commands—it's incredibly impressive. Although it was a bit of a mess at first, having to find each friend one by one, bumping into them and testing the waters, its efforts were not in vain, and its friends stood up and fulfilled its wishes.

Every year they are just small, but their friends are strong and healthy, and have rich experience. Even if things are a little difficult, they work together, and if one person is not enough, another will take over, and warmth will accumulate.

Finally, the sky brightened.

She slowly opened her eyes, sharing this beautiful dream with Nian Nian.
