"Brother!" Cheng Xiaoli burst through the door, showing no disgust at the blood on Ling Xiao's body, and hugged him tightly as he sat on the floor. "Brother, what happened to you? Didn't you say your cancer was cured? How come you are still..."

Ling Xiao pushed Cheng Xiaoli away, feeling a bit short of breath and his head spinning. He blinked hard, trying to keep himself awake.

Cheng Xiaoli wasn't annoyed when she was pushed away. Seeing Ling Xiao's extremely uncomfortable appearance, she anxiously cupped his slightly flushed face and asked, "Brother, where do you feel unwell?"

"Stop calling me 'brother' all the time. It sounds like a hen, it's annoying," Ling Xiao said, frowning and looking impatient.

He was already feeling dizzy and unwell, and then a hen kept bothering him. How could he stand it?

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaoli released her hand and complained somewhat unhappily, "When you were using me, you never complained that I was annoying."

Ling Xiao chuckled softly, but did not reply. He was very weak, and his eyelids were drooping.

Seeing him like this, Cheng Xiaoli shut her mouth and took a cushion from the sofa for him to lean on.

"Thank you," Ling Xiao said to Cheng Xiaoli, leaning back against the cushion.

Cheng Xiaoli wasn't very happy to see Ling Xiao being so distant and polite, but she still asked, "Does it hurt? Would you like an injection?"

Ling Xiao shook his head weakly and said, "I'm just dizzy."

Cheng Xiaoli nodded and said worriedly, "Let me help you to bed for a while. You might feel better after a nap."

"No need, I'm right here." Ling Xiao refused without even thinking, then suddenly widened his eyes and glared at Cheng Xiaoli, seemingly using a lot of force, saying, "Don't even think about using that thing on me again!"

"I...I don't need it, I'm just afraid you'll be in pain..." Cheng Xiaoli seemed a little guilty. She had indeed been planning to wait for Ling Xiao to lie down before getting the injection. Her brother had always been afraid of pain, and she had seen him suffer from illness. She just couldn't bear to see him like that.

Cheng Xiaoli reached out and touched Ling Xiao's forehead; it was so hot...

"Brother, you have a fever! I'll go get you some medicine!" Cheng Xiaoli said and hurriedly ran out to find the medicine.

After seeing Cheng Xiaoli leave, Ling Xiao closed his eyes again, leaned against the wall, and fell asleep.

When he woke up again, he found himself standing on a ship, with someone carefully observing him. Ling Xiao was a little surprised. Wasn't this the place where he first met 07? It seemed to be this ship. He remembered that he had secretly climbed aboard back then.

Looking at the person next to him, Ling Xiao couldn't help but laugh out loud. Who did he think it was? It turned out to be his old acquaintance, 07!

Before Ling Xiao could even consider whether to avoid the situation, 07 took the initiative to introduce itself: "Hello! My name is 07. I'm a system. Would you consider binding with me?"

Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and seemed somewhat at a loss for words.

He couldn't describe his feelings. He had always been chasing after 07's back, a back that was always out of reach and he was always rejected. But now that back had turned around and even said something he never dared to imagine before. Ling Xiao was not as happy as he had imagined. Instead, he felt very bad.

He didn't know why he felt this way. He should be happy, right? But why did he feel sad? Why wasn't he happy?

“I am a villainous system. I sensed the aura on you. It’s the aura of a villain, and it’s very powerful! Moreover, you happen to be a soul entity. If we are together, we will definitely become the best partners in the mission team. I am very confident of this. So, can you choose to bind with me?” 07’s data-filled eyes lit up as it stared intently at Ling Xiao, not wanting to miss any of Ling Xiao’s expressions.

Ling Xiao snapped out of his thoughts, his eyes turning cold as he smiled and said, "Alright, but I have a condition."
