The Eternal System
System 51: Unexpected Guest

When he entered his house, Gong Qiao immediately sat across the living room table. The one that Li Chen had provided had yet to touch. But Gong Qiao himself was still so nervous and his hands clenched tightly over his thighs that he was too nervous to do anything.

He glanced left and right, trying to find out about Li Chen who lived inside the house.

“(Ja...so this... house that master Chen occupied yes...)” Inner Gong Qiao.

When Gong Qiao was lost in his own mind, Li Chen who had called him had not been responded to by him. And in the end, Li Chen slightly raised his voice to be heard by Gong Qiao.

“Nona Gong Qiao?” call Li Chen

“A-ah, yes!” gong Qiao who regained consciousness

“Umm... what do you want to say?” ask Li Chen

“Eh?”

Gong Qiao tilted his head and looked dazedly at Li Chen. His mind that floated somewhere was unable to grasp the intent of Li Chen's words.

“You came all the way to the male hostel to meet me, what's the matter? Is your curse back on again?” ask Li Chen

“Bu-not that.. Actually.. I... came here to....”.

Gong Qiao folded his hands right between his thighs and was swiped as if hesitant and embarrassed to continue his words.

Li Chen who continued to stare at him started to get confused as Gong Qiao stopped in the middle of his sentence. He waited and waited until he opened his mouth.

And when that moment came, instead of opening his mouth to continue his speech. However, Gong Qiao instead thrust the basket he had brought right before Li Chen.

Don't know what to react to. Li Chen was stunned and stared in confusion at the basket and Gong Qiao's strange demeanor.

“(Eh, what is this?! Tradition of the rich in ancient times?! I don't know. I came to the company of the rich in the modern world! Hey system, do something!)”

Li Chen who did not understand what the meaning of this was did not dare to speak or do carelessly. Before long, Gong Qiao began to open his mouth again.

“A-anu-! Tu-tuan Chen, thank you!”

“Eh?!”

“Mother has told me. If master Chen comes to help restore the demon curse that is in my body. And when the mother was infected by the curse, master Chen also healed the mother. Therefore, I came here to.. be-thank you to master Chen!”

It turned out like that, Li Chen thought.

He slightly sighed in relief because he had thought that he should return Gong Qiao's gift which was the greeting tradition of someone from ancient times. However, Gong Qiao came there with the intention to thank him for helping her.

“Sama-sama. But helping someone is normal. So there's no need to hesitate like that, Miss Gong Qiao”

Gong Qiao raised his gaze when he heard Li Chen's words. He did not take the basket he gave, but kept smiling and saying as if helping someone was a natural thing to do.

At that moment, Gong Qiao was stunned by the good looks of Li Chen who was helped with his friendly attitude and also warmed his heart. Gong Qiao's heart became more and more pounding like a drum that wanted to break, whereas his face was increasingly flushed like a tomato and looked blankly at Li Chen as if losing concentration.

For more than 1 minute, Gong Qiao did not respond. Li Chen who opened his eyes and stared at him was confused when he saw him who never moved and still stared blankly at him.

“U-um... Miss Gong Qiao?”

Li Chen called Gong Qiao over three times. But he did not respond, as if his consciousness was going somewhere. He scratched the back of his head in confusion at Gong Qiao who had met since the beginning often lost focus.

“(What's wrong with him? Is this a side effect of the demon curse?)”

“Hey, miss Gong Qiao?”

Li Chen brought his finger closer to Gong Qiao's face. And he immediately snapped a finger to bring out a shocking sound.

Ltak…!

“Ah-!” shouted Gong Qiao who was awake

“You okay?” ask Li Chen

As he gazed towards Li Chen, Gong Qiao's face became increasingly red and his heartbeat skipped a beat. He who was not strong looking at her instantly turned his gaze to the side.

“Ti-it's okay!”

“Eh?!”

While Li Chen who saw Gong Qiao's attitude immediately changed and turned his face looking as if he was upset or annoyed with him.

“(EHH?!! Wh-why did he throw open from me?!)” inner Li Chen

At times when the two were misunderstanding each other's minds, Li Chen felt that he had done something unpleasant to Gong Qiao. He stood up and apologized to her.

“A-anu, I-I'm sorry Miss Gong Qiao! I-I've made you feel uncomfortable!”

“E-eh?! Nothin. It is precisely I who should apologize, for making you feel strange!”

Gong Qiao turned around apologetically while thrusting the basket he had brought before.

“To-please mr Chen accept this as an apology and thank me!”

“Ti-don't bother Miss Gong Qiao. A-i-i-!”

“Already, te-accept saj-!”

When Gong Qiao heard that Li Chen wanted to refuse, he tried to be aggressive and force Li Chen to accept the basket. However, Gong Qiao's careless movements rendered him oblivious to his surroundings and became stumbling over the table in front of him.

Duk…!!

“AAAH!!”

“Awas!”

Li Chen caught Gong Qiao who was about to fall, but he tried to catch him and fell to the floor.

Bruk…!!

The two of them groaned slowly by enduring the pain. Li Chen who used his back to fall down and become a pedestal began to slowly open his eyes.

“Uuhh... Miss Gong Qiao, are you okay?”

Li Chen asked about Gong Qiao's near-falling condition. However, the moment he saw her lying down right in her chest bag, Li Chen felt an overstuffed feeling swiping on his body.

On the other hand, Gong Qiao rubbed his head as if struck by a slight feeling of dizziness.

“Uuh... I-iya, I'm fine...”.

And just as Gong Qiao was starting to get up, he opened his eyes slowly. He looked down and looked towards Li Chen who was wide-open his two beautiful eyes and looked at him closely.

How not? Li Chen saw a girl who was so beautiful was right on top of him. His voice and breath could be felt directly on their faces that were so close. Not even with the beauty and also the body of Gong Qiao who is very ‘professional’ it can be a top model in the magazine.

While Gong Qiao who was directly above Li Chen was also stunned. Seeing the good looks and bravery of a man who had saved her from the curse of the devil. As well as the kindness and hospitality he felt made his heart calm as well as pounding loudly because of the unreasonable feeling when he was near him.

“Nona Gong's….Qiao?”

“Mr...Chen?”

Both drowned in the atmosphere. Stare at each other, no matter what is around them. Slowly but surely, the lust within their human bodies, the instincts of a man and a woman begin to take over. Li Chen and Gong Qiao began to approach their lips slowly.

When the tip of the lips will meet, the sound of the door opening suddenly shocked them.

It…!!!

“Hei, Chen! Have you heard about training-!”

The one who shouted and directly entered the house was Lei Jingting. Li Chen's housemates in the male dormitory. He who had gone first early in the morning, now came home at the wrong time.

He stopped his sentence and stared with both eyes widened when he saw the position of Li Chen and Gong Qiao who looked so ‘suspicious’.

While Li Chen and Gong Qiao themselves became stopped and stared back at him with a panicked look.

“Hmm... Hm.. I went home at the wrong time yes...”.

Lei Jingting who saw the situation immediately nodded and folded her hands right in front of her chest. And all of a sudden, he opened one of his eyes and smiled broadly while pointing his thumb at Li Chen as if supporting him.

“It's okay. I'll go out again, get your business done! Youth is short, so enjoy it while you can!”

Suddenly, an air blow of Ki energy hit Lei Jingting right in the face.

THE CROCODILE…!!

“Uaagh!!” erang Lei Jingting's

The attack came from Li Chen being annoyed and also awkward towards the situation.

“Youth of your eyes, you madman!”
