Unlike what Jiang Baige had expected, this time Yao Jing did not evade the topic and only said one word: "Okay."

The two came to a building in Block A. Jiang Baige was about to walk towards the elevator when she was stopped by Yao Jing.

"First floor," he said.

He used the key to open one of the rooms, and warm sunlight filled the hall. It was a south-facing house.

So, like most south-facing first-floor houses in this community, the area outside the living room was fenced off by the homeowner.

What’s different is that this small garden is well maintained. Although it is not spring yet, one can imagine how beautiful it will be when spring is in full swing.

"I know you like spacious spaces." The two walked back into the house. Yao Jing closed the door and shut out the cold wind outside the glass window. "Besides, outside is a good place to boil medicine. If we do it in the kitchen, it might make the whole room bitter."

After saying that, he smiled, probably because he thought he was quite humorous.

But Jiang Baige didn't laugh, because she didn't know how to make medicine. Besides, renting a house outside the school was too inconvenient for someone like her who didn't like to cook.

At that time, I rented Lijingshanju to save people, but now? There is no need.

Yao Jing guessed what she was thinking: "Don't worry, I will take care of everything, whether it's decocting medicine or cooking."

"Don't you have to go to class?" Jiang Baige said in a somewhat aggressive tone, "I know you are a considerate person, whether it's renting this house, specially picking a house with a small courtyard, or taking care of the housework... If it were any other time, I might be quite tempted..."

When she said the word "heart-beating", her heart beat wildly again. Jiang Baige covered her chest and sat down.

"But do you know what I was thinking when you said that just now?"

"What? If it's about the 'mission', I'll be there right away..."

"Yes." Jiang Baige interrupted Yao Jing. "What I'm thinking is that you not only know that I saved those girls, but you also know that I came to Hengluyuan to check out the place and told the agent that I like a house on the first floor facing south with a self-built courtyard... Then what else do you know? Do you know anything else..."

"Yes, I know, you are reborn."

After Yao Jing said this, Jiang Baige's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

But it wasn't the solid feeling of landing on the ground, but the feeling of the executioner's machete finally landing on her neck... the feeling of dying without regrets.

"And me, too."

This sentence was completely consistent with Jiang Baige's guess. She looked at Yao Jing quietly, waiting for his next performance.

"But unlike you, I brought the system with me after my rebirth. Yes, it's in my mind, popping up from time to time to say a few words, as a reminder..."

At this point, Yao Jing paused, then showed an awkward smile and pointed to his head: "It just talked to me again... said, don't think I don't know what you said about me."

Jiang Baige didn't find it funny——

If you were reading a novel, you would find it quite interesting, but when she was in it, or it was one of the "missions", it was not very enjoyable.

"So, I am your 'mission' and this is what it told you?"

Yao Jing nodded: "Only by conquering you can I survive."

His expression was sincere, as if he was not saying "I want to conquer you" but "I love you". Jiang Baige's stomach was churning.

"Does this strategy count as a success now?"

“Of course not.” Yao Jing gave a bitter smile. He was very good at making this expression. The drooping corners of his lips made me feel even more pitiful. “Or maybe there was, but my system didn’t recognize it, so…”

Jiang Baige didn't say he was successful or unsuccessful, but asked him: "Then what does it mean to be successful in your strategy? Falling in love with you, kissing you, or..."

"My system says - you Earthlings have a very poor imagination."

what?

Jiang Baige suspected that she had heard it wrongly.

Or maybe I had a dream, and in the dream, I accidentally entered a science fiction novel...

After all, she was a web writer, and had read many different settings. She was even writing a post-apocalyptic novel.

"So... where are you from? Mars? The moon? Or outside the Milky Way?"

Jiang Baige tried hard to match the other party's brain waves.

Yao Jing burst out laughing. It was his most sincere smile today.

"Of course I am from Earth."

Yao Jing stretched out his hand and motioned Jiang Baige to pinch him. Jiang Baige refused and pinched him hard, causing Yao Jing to scream.

She didn't wake up, so it seemed that this was not a dream.

"But my system may be a non-Earth creature... I don't know. Half a year ago, I encountered a medical dispute in the hospital. A fruit knife thrown by a patient's family pierced my artery. When I woke up, I became a junior. And it was this system in my brain that woke me up."

"That means... I am the first person you met after your rebirth?"

Jiang Baige's expression showed some distrust. After all, Yao Jing's sophisticated and skilled strategy plan didn't seem like that of a novice who was doing this for the first time.

"Then how do you know the target of the attack is me?"

"I didn't know it when I lent you the bag. Including that action, it was all arranged by the system. At that time, I had just been reborn and hadn't completely mastered this body... But later, I heard Song Siwen call you 'white pigeon' and 'white bird', and then I was sure of it."

Jiang Baige remembered that time when he fainted.

"Keywords?"

Yao Jing nodded - explaining this to someone who reads a lot of online articles is easier than expected: "People whose names contain the word 'bird' are the ones I'll pursue."

This...sounds somewhat familiar.

But Jiang Baige didn't have time to think about it now: "Okay, back to the question just now. Your system laughs at my lack of imagination... What's going on?"

"It says that you have misunderstood the cause and effect of the strategy."

"cause and effect?"

"Love, kissing, including... um..." Yao Jing blushed, "They are all results. And their cause is... we love each other."

As soon as the last four words came out, Jiang Baige got goosebumps all over her body.

She knew very well that now she could only say that she had some feelings for him, whether she loved him or not...it was definitely not to that extent.

"Then I'm afraid your plan will fail this time... In my previous life, I had already lived a life of longing for good men, love and marriage. Now, I have no interest in these things at all... If you just want to enjoy some adult happiness, looking at your appearance, I can still help you..."

Jiang Baige shrugged regretfully: "But as for the question of love or not... I'm afraid you'll have to find someone else to help. If I'm not mistaken, if you fail to conquer this world, you'll enter the next world until... you succeed?"

"It's not that simple." Yao Jing's tone revealed despair, "If I don't succeed in making you fall in love with me in a month, and my strategy fails, I will disappear."
