save love brain

Zhou Xiaoxi’s family is very good, and her parents cherish her like an eyeball. They don’t want her to eat dirt as soon as she works, and they don’t want her to get up early to catch the subway, so they provide enough financial support for renting a house.

A well-decorated single apartment in the city center, [-] square meters, moved in with luggage, and the family happily paid the rent for the whole year.The house is naturally comfortable to live in. Zhou Xiaoxi even fantasized about the day when he and his girlfriend will be happy in the future, and ask his girlfriend to move in and live together in this happy little nest, and we can see each other every day.

Of course, these are still far away, Zhou Xiaoxi is still in the novice stage of being happy when meeting his girlfriend.Today is the two-month anniversary of our relationship. Originally, we made an appointment for lunch, but my girlfriend was too busy to meet her and changed it to the afternoon. She therefore extended her anticipation, and was filled with joy when they met.Who knew that upon seeing this, the girlfriend would become an ex-girlfriend.

After blow-drying her hair and laying on the bed, Zhou Xiaoxi burst into sour tears from the tip of her nose.

"Ugh..."

The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she was. She curled up into a ball, and she didn't want to care about the tears on her face.

[Reminder: The host has been indulging in the pain of losing love for 3 minutes, please cheer up the host and get into work. 】

"Today is Saturday." Zhou Xiaoxi gasped and said that she would cry for at least two days, and she might not be able to slow it down.

The system is silent for 2 minutes: [Warning: The host has been indulging in the pain of breaking up for 5 minutes. Please start working as soon as possible, otherwise you will be punished. 】

"Punishment?" Zhou Xiaoxi cried dazedly, "What punishment?"

[This system includes three punishment measures: pain, numbness, and itching.The penalty measures are randomized each time, and the duration and scope depend on the situation. The countdown will start after 30 seconds, and the host should start working before the countdown ends. 】

"But I've finished my work, and the company didn't let me work overtime today."

[Any career-related activities can be identified as work by this system, for example: making a career plan. 】

Zhou Xiaoxi wiped away his tears, sat up in a daze for a while, then slowly moved to the desk in front of the window, pulled out the chair and sat down.

[The countdown starts, five, four...]

Turn on the laptop, create a new document, and the countdown stops when it reaches "two".Zhou Xiaoxi's finger that was about to type left the keyboard: "System, can I try the punishment you mentioned?"

[Okay, this punishment experience lasts for five seconds, there is no countdown, please prepare the host. 】

A strong numbness suddenly hit her left calf. Zhou Xiaoxi made preparations but failed to hold on. She yelled, thinking her calf was broken.The panic stretched the five seconds to several times longer, and when the experience was over, Zhou Xiaoxi only had the strength to breathe, and a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead: "Is the punishment so strong every time?"

[Yes, the host is requested to work hard to complete the task and avoid punishment. 】

Whether Zhou Xiaoxi wants to cry or not: "I will."

The punishment of the system only exerts stimulation and does not directly harm the body.She squeezed her calf, stood up and walked a few steps without any discomfort, as if the numbness before was an illusion.

Taking two deep breaths, Zhou Xiaoxi sat back on the chair, opened the document and entered the title: Career Planning.

She was obedient and serious since she was a child, and went to a key university smoothly, and joined the promising Hengyue Company as soon as she graduated this year.There are no ups and downs in life, no setbacks in studies, and a stable mind. I just want to do the things in front of me and go down step by step.

She couldn't think of a long-term plan at once. "Three-year salary increase and five-year promotion" are too general, so it's better to start from now.After thinking about it, she deleted the word "career planning" and changed it to "how to pass the probationary period ahead of schedule".

After typing a title, Zhou Xiaoxi's hand did not move again.It is impossible for a down-to-earth pen holder to be lit under the fire and suddenly become a rocket launch into the sky, it can only be a burning pen holder.I am not a particularly self-motivated person, but now I am forced to make progress, so I can't find the direction. After thinking for a while, I feel that I have already done what I should do. If I have to talk about improvement, it may be that my interpersonal relationship is lacking.

She typed confidently: Keep it up and keep going!

Fortunately, Zhou Xiaoxi continued to write, otherwise the system might be angry.

She wrote: Eliminate distracting thoughts, improve efficiency, find time to actively help seniors, and strive for additional job opportunities.

[It is recommended that the host choose two to three targets to focus on. 】

"It makes sense, energy is limited." Zhou Xiaoxi admitted.

The figures of the seniors flashed in her mind one by one, and finally she delineated two people: one is sister Liu Jing, who has a good temper and patience, and is willing to teach new people;

After choosing the target, Zhou Xiaoxi listed the two names into two subheadings, followed by the information she had.Sister Liu Jing is a local. She is married and has a son who is raised by her retired parents.Sister Wang Li is a foreigner, and every time she takes out food, she always notes that it is too spicy. She is unmarried and suspected to be single.

Making up her mind to get closer to these two sisters in the future, she pushed the keyboard and discussed with the system: "Come here first, play it by ear on Monday. I have a headache from crying too much, can I watch a TV series?"

[The host is free to arrange leisure activities. 】

Zhou Xiaoxi sat on the bed, leaned against the big pillow, and turned on the TV to watch dramas.Within a few minutes, her consciousness wandered back to the moment of the breakup.The image of his ex-girlfriend frowning and complaining clearly appeared in front of his eyes.

"...You don't know how busy a newcomer is at the workplace. It takes me three hours to go to and from get off work every day. In the company, I have to listen to the leadership and do chores for the old employees. I really don't have time..."

"...Xiaoxi, I can't send you WeChat and make videos frequently, and I have to work overtime every day, so I really can't meet you on weekdays..."

"... I may not be able to rest on weekends. Look, I don't come to the company to work overtime today? I didn't even eat a few bites of lunch. Even if I take a rest, we live so far away, no matter who looks for it, it will be very tiring. ..."

Zhou Xiaoxi said with tears in his eyes: "I know you are very busy, I don't ask too much, as long as you send one or two when you think of me, and see you once or twice a week, that's fine. I can understand if it doesn't work."

The ex-girlfriend held her forehead in distress, exhaled and said in a low voice, "It's because I can't think of you."

Zhou Xiaoxi was stunned, tears were pressing down on her lower eyelashes.

The ex-girlfriend smiled bitterly and said: "Xiaoxi, you take this relationship too seriously, I can't bear it. I'm sorry, let's break up."

Zhou Xiaoxi felt his heart break suddenly.She couldn't control it, she was sitting in the restaurant crying, her ex-girlfriend persuaded her a few times but it didn't work, she said sorry and ran away.

The memories came to an abrupt end, and Zhou Xiaoxi, who was sitting on the bed, also cried: "When I promised to be with her, I didn't expect that I would become so clingy. But I just want to see her every day, but I can't see her heart. Just panic, is this the love brain?"

[Yes, the relationship has already begun to affect the host's interpersonal relationship and work, and the benefits of breaking up outweigh the disadvantages. 】

Zhou Xiaoxi was taken aback for a moment, she just wanted to howl a few words to vent herself, but she didn't expect the system to respond.But when she thought that she had neglected the contact with her friends because of falling in love, which led to being dumped for the first time in her life, but she was embarrassed to cry to her friends, and only an inhuman system talked to her, and she felt lonely and sad in an instant. I want to cry even more.

"Woo...you are right."

I have to admit that the system has sharper eyes than her (if the system has eyes).

In the four years of university, she kept her grades at the forefront, participated in many competitions, and won some awards, big and small, before she was favored by Hengyue Company, and she entered a high-quality company that countless people liked through interviews.However, when she is working, she often thinks about what her girlfriend is doing, and she seldom thinks about work after work. According to this state, her performance during the probationary period will not be too good. If she is not lucky, she will have to find a new job up.

Zhou Xiaoxi stopped sobbing and realized the seriousness of the problem.I didn't expect that a two-month relationship can affect so many people. If she fails the probationary period and leaves Hengyue Company, it will definitely be hard to find her next job.

Should I say luck?

[Reminder: The host has watched the drama for 15 minutes, please allocate the time reasonably. 】

Zhou Xiaoxi was taken aback, time passed so quickly: "How long will it take to warn?"

[Two 10 minutes. 】

"Then I'll watch it for another five minutes."

Five minutes later, the system sounded a warning, and Zhou Xiaoxi paused the TV series and started doing housework.

Stuffing clothes into the washing machine, Zhou Xiaoxi's eyes turned red when he saw the couple's T-shirts. He used the sticky roller to clean the hair on the small carpet in the living room. Remembering that the pattern of the carpet was chosen by his ex-girlfriend for her, Zhou Xiaoxi burst into tears.Fortunately, what is fortunate, she was dumped, and it hurts to lose her love!

Afraid of the system's punishment, Zhou Xiaoxi did not dare to stop his movements. Fortunately, doing housework does not require too much brain power, so he can focus on two tasks. When the apartment is all cleaned up, the system does not send out reminders.

Standing in the clean and fresh room, she said with emotion: "Work still works, people can't pay attention to it. I just forgot to cry when I was working."

She now somewhat believes that this system is here to help her correct her love brain.

After working, of course I need to rest. After watching the remaining half of the TV series, exactly 10 minutes later, Zhou Xiaoxi turned off the TV and pulled the quilt away to sleep.

The system is in charge of the sky and the earth, and it can't control Zhou Xiaoxi's drowning in his dreams.She was crying while sleeping, and she was miserable.

Early the next morning, a voice sounded in Zhou Xiaoxi's mind.

[Reminder: The host has slept for seven hours, please prepare for the new morning. 】

Sleeping drowsily, Zhou Xiaoxi used his head as an alarm clock, waved his hand and patted his head, turned over and fell asleep for another hour.

[Warning: The host has slept for eight hours, please cherish the time and get up as soon as possible, otherwise you will be punished. 】

punish!

Zhou Xiaoxi straightened up from the bed, opening a pair of confused and terrified eyes.It's not a dream, that system is still there!

"System, will I not be able to sleep until I wake up naturally in the future?" She asked aggrievedly.

[This system will judge the physical and mental state of the host to ensure that the host gets adequate rest. 】

Well, she has a smart alarm clock that consumes no electricity.Zhou Xiaoxi got up resignedly and opened the curtains.It was cloudy outside, the rain seemed to have stopped not long ago, and some places on the ground were still wet.Open the window and take a deep breath of the cool and humid air, and the mind feels comfortable for a while, as if it has been washed for a while.Her mood improved, and she showed her first smile after breaking up with her.
