The sound of birds singing could be heard outside the window, and the morning sun fell on the bed inside.

Bai Chao seemed to notice something and his eyelids moved, but because they were too heavy, he used all his strength to open his eyes.

He stared at the ceiling blankly, and after a moment he slowly turned his gaze. Beside the bed there was a tall rack with several bottles of potion hanging on it, one of which was almost empty.

Bai Chao stared at the infusion tube in a daze, and his gaze moved to his right hand again. Drop after drop of transparent medicine flowed into his body along the needle inserted into the vein on the back of his hand, feeling a little cold.

Bai Chao blinked and looked around. The room was brightly lit. Although it was small, it was much better than the one in the basement.

At this time, a man came in and helped him change a bottle of medicine. When he lowered his head, he was stunned: "Are you awake?"

Bai Chao looked at the woman dressed as a nurse and said nothing.

The woman didn't care and smiled: "Are you hungry? I'll ask your nanny to prepare something for you."

Bai Chao shook his head slightly.

"Well, if anything happens, remember to ring the bell." The woman pointed to the call bell hanging on the bedside. She suddenly remembered something and blushed slightly. "I'll go tell Mr. Yang that you're awake."

"..."

Bai Chao stared at the woman's back as she left, an unknown look flashing in his eyes.

After a while, the door opened again. A man in a white coat came in. He checked Bai Chao's temperature and asked about his physical condition.

"How do you feel now? Is there anything wrong with your head?"

Bai Chao's face didn't look good, and his throat was a little dry: "No."

The white coat said, "You didn't eat when you were unconscious, so your stomach must be upset. Eat some light food for the next two days."

"Ah."

The man in the white coat checked the medicine bottle on the stand and said, "You won't have to infuse it after the next bottle of water is finished. You can take a rest first."

Bai Chao watched the door close again and closed his eyes.

"001, come out."

001: "…………"

It popped up in a coy voice: "Host, you're awake... That's great, haha..."

Bai Chao looked at the small square coldly.

"Tell me what's going on."

"This..." The little cube shook left and right, "Host, I don't know either. No matter how I press it, it doesn't work. I wonder if the button is broken..."

Bai Chao narrowed his eyes suspiciously: "Really?"

"really."

Bai Chao's eyes flashed dangerously: "Did you really press the button?"

Little Cube broke out in a cold sweat: "Really, really, really!"

Bai Chao stared at 001 and didn't say anything for a long time.

The little cube was very nervous under the pressure. Just when it was about to tell the truth, the tense atmosphere suddenly eased.

"You'd better." Bai Chao retracted his gaze and said lightly.

The little cube heaved a sigh of relief: "Of course, I am your system."

Bai Chao turned his head and looked at the scenery outside the window in silence.

Even his hypnosis didn't work on the male protagonist. The system might really not lie.

So weird.

In the past, in other mission worlds, even if he was facing the protagonist, his hypnosis could last at least one day.

Why can the male protagonist of this world not be controlled by him...

Bai Chao's expression gradually turned ugly.

001 spoke timidly: "Host, are you okay there..."

"..."

Bai Chao's body stiffened, and the image of panting and shaking flashed through his mind.

He gritted his teeth and glared at the system: "Shut up!"

001 quickly went offline. It wanted to tell the host that the task progress bar had increased by another 0.5%, and it had increased when they were doing that thing that night...

But this matter must not be mentioned again... I am afraid that this host will hate the Lord God...

Until it got dark, Yang An did not appear in the room.

After the water in the bottle was finished, the man in the white coat came to check on his condition again.

At noon, the woman brought a bowl of porridge and placed it on the table, but Bai Chao did not eat it. He slept all afternoon, and when he woke up, he stared out the window in a daze.

The porridge in the bowl was dry. The woman came up again and saw that the lunch on the table was untouched. She looked at Bai Chao like an ignorant child.

"Even if you're not feeling well, you should at least eat something. Don't let Boss Yang worry. I'll come up to check on you after dinner. If you don't eat, I'll tell Boss Yang."

Bai Chao raised his eyelids and glanced at her indifferently.

"You..." The woman felt that her kindness was taken for granted, and she walked away angrily with the cold porridge.

The heat from the vegetable porridge on the table gradually dissipated, but Bai Chao didn't eat a single bite.

When the woman came up to collect the bowls, she saw that Bai Chao hadn't eaten yet, and she started to mutter again: "Why aren't you eating yet, kid? I really need to talk to Mr. Yang."

Bai Chao just spat out one word coldly.

"roll."

"...You!" The woman's face turned red and white, and she was furious. "Okay, okay, just wait, I'll let Boss Yang teach you a lesson."

But Yang An didn't come until late at night.

Bai Chao lowered his eyes, looked at the needle hole on the back of his hand which was almost healed, and buried himself in the quilt.

"waste."

The next day, Bai Chao slept for a long time before opening his eyes.

The room was empty. Bai Chao slowly got out of bed and walked to the window.

I was slightly startled when I saw the scenery below.

This is... Yang An's villa...

The old locust tree in the back garden had been taken care of again, and its branches were swaying vigorously, as if greeting him.

"..."

Bai Chao's eyes flashed, he pushed open the window and looked at the height below.

There was a long drainpipe on the outer wall near the window. He tentatively reached out to grab the drainpipe, his body leaning outward, and was suddenly pulled back by a strong force.

"Bai Chao, how dare you!"

Bai Chao's nose was hit and it hurt a lot. He stared blankly at the man who appeared in front of him.

Yang An’s face was gloomy, and his voice was filled with suppressed anger: “If you dare to jump, I will send the Bai family down with you!”

Bai Chao's expression was blank for a moment, he opened his lips but couldn't utter a word.

The window was shut with a bang.

Yang An's face was tense and he used great strength in his hands to pull Bai Chao back to the bed.

Bai Chao was thrown so hard that he almost fell down. He reflexively grabbed the edge of the bed and sat up steadily.

Yang An said coldly: "Stop trying to kill yourself here. Try pretending to go on a hunger strike again."

"..."

With a bang, the door hit the door frame heavily.

Yang An left.

Bai Chao stared at the gate in a daze.

"…He thought I was going to commit suicide by jumping off the building?"

001 said: "It seems... yes?"

But the host's actions just now did seem a bit desperate...

Bai Chao rubbed his wrist which was pulled so hard that it hurt, and pursed his lips unconsciously: "Really... I just wanted to see if I could climb down..."
