After reading my mind, everyone collectively begged me to watch the drama unfold!

Gu Qingye lay on the hospital bed, looking extremely weak and sickly. Her face was pale and bloodless, completely different from before, and she looked like a sickly beauty.

Lin Guiyi asked curiously, "When exactly did you take the medicine?"

She didn't see Gu Qingye drink anything, and the small cake she ate was something she had taken early in the morning; she didn't seem to mind. Was Gu Qingye just unlucky enough to get to eat it?

"I must have gotten infected when I went to run some errands. I think it was my younger brother who did it."

Lin Guiyi nodded slowly.

"Fortunately, the dosage wasn't high."

[The events in the book take place a few days after this, but Gu Qingye has brought them forward!]

The two didn't speak after that.

Lin Guiyi rested his chin on his hand and quietly looked at Gu Qingye's face.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Guiyi whispered, "Gu Qingye, do you like me?"

Gu Qingye's eyelashes fluttered twice as she replied, "I like you, I like you a lot."

"Why?" This was a question Lin Guiyi genuinely wanted to know.

"At first, I was amazed by your looks."

Wow! Am I that pretty?

"Beautiful, very beautiful! After getting to know you, I became more and more attracted to you. Every move you made, every smile you gave, captivated me."

Gu Qingye looked into Lin Guiyi's eyes, as if trying to convey his affection to him.

His eyes were clear and bright, reflecting the image of Lin Guiyi.

"Really? It feels a little unreal." Lin Guiyi was somewhat taken aback.

"Lin Guiyi, I like you, I like you a lot, I like you a lot."

But I don't like you.

"I like you, and I'll always be by your side."

Lin Guiyi chuckled and teased, "So you want to be the devoted second male lead?"

"Yes, I'll just be your devoted second male lead."

"Wouldn't I be too much of a jerk, knowing that my friends like me but not keeping my distance and acting like a friend?"

"What's this called? Green tea? Men's tea?... "

Gu Qingye interrupted, "It's nothing. My liking you is my own business."

Wow, that's so powerful.

"And I believe you will fall in love with me!" Gu Qingye's lips curled up in a confident smile.

"Then I'll look forward to the future!"

"By the way, you're no longer the CEO, what are you doing now?"

"Unemployed, but I have enough money anyway, so I'll play around for a while."

"Haha, maybe you can come work for my family's company. You're so capable, my brother will be overjoyed. Oh, by the way, I haven't told you yet, it's the Lin family."

"Not for now, but there will be opportunities."

After staying for a while, seeing that it was almost time, Lin Gui went downstairs to buy them food.

Lin Guiyi placed the purchased food on the small table one by one.

"Now we both eat light meals, what a coincidence!"

After finishing their meal, Lin Guiyi said goodbye to Gu Qingye.

"See you tomorrow"

"See you tomorrow. Don't wear makeup anymore after that, it's bad for your skin."

"Yeah, remember."

Gu Qingye was left alone in the ward. She walked to the window and quietly watched Lin Guiyi get into the car and leave.

Gu Qingye lowered her eyes, her fingers unconsciously tapping on the windowsill.

From the moment he first learned of Lin Guiyi's miraculous power, he was certain that Lin Guiyi belonged to him.

If the company possessed such magical power, it would surely reach new heights.

But Lin Guiyi has such abilities, so he must be careful, lest Lin Guiyi find out what he's doing if he's not careful.

Therefore, he immediately chose to pretend to like Lin Guiyi. He discovered that the so-called system only knew about things that were happening or had happened in the past, and was not powerful enough to perceive people's inner thoughts.

The system will not perceive the deeper meaning behind liking and pursuing Lin Guiyi.

Women's minds are filled with nothing but love and romance. Even if Lin Guiyi refuses and says he doesn't want to be in a relationship, once he falls in love, he will immediately abandon his previous thoughts.

Lin Guiyi is the kind of person who seems warm-hearted but is actually cold upon closer inspection. What he wants to do is to stay by her side like a gentle stream.

After this period of gradual rapprochement, Lin Guiyi should no longer be wary of him, and perhaps they can take things further.

but…

Gu Qingye's eyes were deep and unfathomable. What happened in the car today... Perhaps it would be good to have someone you like by your side; it would be good for both of you.

[Wow, host, you were so cool when you flirted with Gu Qingye in the car!]

"Is there?" Lin Guiyi forced a smile.

[Hey, check if Gu Qingye mixed any herbs into her medicine.]

[No, host, Gu Yaoming did indeed do this.]

"Hmm, I see," Lin Guiyi said thoughtfully.

[Host, didn't you dislike Gu Qingye? Why did you do that?] the system asked.

Lin Guiyi took a sip of water before slowly answering.

[Didn't I mention before that Gu Qingye's attitude was a bit strange? He deliberately flirted with me first, so why can't I flirt with him back?]

[Furthermore, I wanted to see if Gu Qingye was truly impotent. It turns out he only felt anything for the female lead, Lin Xiaoxiao.]

"Then, host, you absolutely must not let Gu Qingye seduce you in the future. He's no good, and you two won't be happy together," the system hurriedly said.

[Hey, that's prejudice! What if some people actually prefer Platonic love? I think that's all you think about!]

The system scratched the back of its head and chuckled, "Isn't it because people on TV say that kind of thing is very comfortable and enjoyable?!"

Lin Guiyi was shocked. How did her cute and innocent little system become so lewd?

What are you watching! Don't watch this kind of thing again!

[But you, host, also like watching it, don't you?]

[I'm an adult. How old are you? You're only a few years old and you're already watching this? Minors aren't allowed to watch this!]

"Okay, fine." Something feels off.

I went to bed early yesterday, and Lin Guiyi woke up early this time.

After Lin Gui finished breakfast downstairs, he discovered that in addition to his mother, there was another lady in the living room.

Lin Guiyi went up to greet them.

"Guiyi, come, sit next to me. This is Mom's friend. You can call her Aunt Shen."

"Aunt Shen," Lin Gui said politely with a smile.

“Oh my, Guiyi is such a polite child, unlike my child.”

"Haha, Xiao Yan is a very lively boy. Boys like to play around everywhere."

"Sigh, they're already in high school."

“Guiyi, didn’t you participate in a talent show before? I could watch the whole process. Kids these days are really amazing. They learn singing, dancing, and musical instruments very well.”

Lin Guiyi smiled simply and didn't say anything.

Lin Guiyi sat quietly to the side, listening. This Aunt Shen's son sounded quite mischievous.

[Hey mistress, let's see what juicy gossip Aunt Shen has up her sleeve?]

She ran into him early this morning, so she could have a gossip session.

Aunt Shen looked puzzled. She heard Lin Guiyi's voice, but Lin Guiyi hadn't opened her mouth.

"What's wrong?" Lin's mother asked.

Aunt Shen withdrew her attention, and seeing that Lin's mother's expression was normal, she smiled and said, "No, let's continue."

A strange look flashed quickly in Lin's mother's eyes. What was going on? She felt that Shen Meng had also heard Lin Guiyi's thoughts.

Aunt Shen's son is not her son!
