"If it hurts, get lost."

I said expressionlessly.

Originally irritated at the sight of him, now I was forced by the system to do tasks to influence him.

I suppressed my annoyance and tended to Xie Rui's wound. As I wiped the scar with iodine, Xie Rui occasionally tensed his body, causing the medicine to splash on me.

Xie Rui was stunned for a moment, his face somewhat confused. He quickly regained his composure, gritted his teeth, allowing me to handle the wound violently without a word.

"I can take care of you."

"The condition is, you don't go crazy, and you have to listen to me for everything."

"Five years, I'll only give you five years."

If Xie Rui doesn't make a comeback within five years, I want no part of this disgusting task issued by the system.

I curled my fingers and spoke coldly.

Xie Rui hesitated for a second, nodded, with a nervous look in his eyes:

"Why... why did you come to help me?"

I stared at him and spoke softly:

"Just consider it charity, can't I?"

Xie Rui seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, his eyes sparking with a faint light.

He had a face that could easily deceive others, especially with beautiful eyes, a subtle water color shimmering inside, as if hiding a touch of imperceptible sadness.

The ten years we spent together were vivid in my mind. If it hadn't been for Shen Jiao's return to China, I didn't know how long Xie Rui and I would continue this fake and deceitful play.

Thinking back now, Xie Rui's timely display of fragility and admiration were just chips to make me let down my guard and willingly pave the way for him.

I should have known long ago what kind of nasty and hypocritical personality lay beneath his beautiful facade.

"It's late, you should rest early."

Xie Rui blushed suddenly as I stared at him, then awkwardly made his way to the guest room.

Suddenly, I remembered something and casually said:

"Be careful not to touch Jiyuan's belongings when you sleep."

Xie Rui paused in his steps, slowly turned around, I saw his expression gradually stiffen, slowly raised his eyes, even the muscles on his face were twitching faintly.

His hoarse voice rolled up and down on his awkward Adam's apple as he asked:

"Who is Jiyuan?"

I looked into his eyes and said indifferently:

"He? Just like you."

"He's just a distraction I picked up."
