Chapter 63: Can’t Punish Myself?

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

What was the system’s purpose?

She didn’t believe that there was free lunch in the world.

Looking at the man who was diligently helping her pick herbs, Xu Jiaojiao’s heart grew heavier.

Lost in thought, Xu Jiaojiao was about to reach out and pick a herb when she was suddenly pulled back by someone.

“Don’t touch that!”

Hearing this, Xu Jiaojiao finally came to her senses.

Looking closely, she realized that the herb she was about to pick was next to a poisonous plant.

Touching it could cause itching for days.

“Thank you.”

Xu Jiaojiao said, trying to pull back her hand, but found that she couldn’t move it.

…

“Let go!” she said, struggling again.

But the man not only didn’t let go, he pulled her closer to him.

The close proximity made Xu Jiaojiao’s heart tremble.

“Jiaojiao.”

Qin Shuo reached out with his other hand and grabbed her arm.

There was nowhere to escape, so she could only meet his deep gaze.

Seeing the urgency in the man’s eyes, Xu Jiaojiao had a bad feeling.

“Let’s talk.”

Realizing that she wouldn’t be able to respond to what he was about to say, she lowered her eyes.

But the man didn’t allow her to escape, and asked directly, “Did you run into any problems?”

Qin Shuo could feel that she wasn’t indifferent to him.

But every time he took a step closer, she took a few steps back.

And he couldn’t wait any longer.

Hearing his words, Xu Jiaojiao felt a surge of grievance.

For a moment, she almost blurted out the truth and confessed to him.

But her reason made her swallow it back.

She couldn’t tell him about the system.

Even she herself didn’t understand what the system wanted to do, and her initial purpose in approaching him wasn’t pure.

All of this showed that they had no future!

After a pause, she said, “I originally planned to spend my life with you, but… I still can’t convince myself.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Jiaojiao felt the man’s breath suddenly become dangerous.

Not daring to look up, she continued to speak.

“I’m sorry, I wasted your time.”

The rough voice was like a double-edged sword, piercing his heart and leaving her bleeding.

“Xu Jiaojiao!”

Hearing the gritted teeth, Xu Jiaojiao’s heart skipped a beat.

But she still firmly pulled away his hand.

Turning around, she walked towards the mountain.

In her mind, the system’s red characters kept flashing.

“Warning! Please stop the current error operation!”

“Warning! Please stop the current error operation!”

Xu Jiaojiao seemed to isolate herself, the harsh sound didn’t bother her at all.

Her whole person was like a wandering soul, walking in the forest.

“Ding! Due to the host’s violation, this system will reclaim all cheat codes.”

Xu Jiaojiao didn’t pay any attention, nor did she look at the system page.

It seemed that the system’s threats had no effect on her.

At this moment, she was like a lifeless shell.

She walked aimlessly, not knowing how far she had gone, when she vaguely heard a cry for help.

Xu Jiaojiao suddenly came to her senses.

Following the sound, Xu Jiaojiao saw a pregnant woman lying on the ground.

Next to her was a woman who was panicked.

The pregnant woman had a pool of water beneath her.

It seemed that her water had broken.

“Help!” Seeing someone coming, the woman squatting down had a glimmer of hope in her eyes, “Please, help us!”

Without hesitation, Xu Jiaojiao rushed forward.

As soon as she squatted down, the woman screamed again, it seemed that she was in excruciating pain!

“How long has your water broken?” Xu Jiaojiao asked as she took her pulse.

Seeing that she was a doctor, Liu Fangxue cried with joy.

“My sister has been lying here for a while.”

As she felt the pulse, Xu Jiaojiao’s face also changed.

“We can’t wait to go down the mountain, give birth first and then carry her down!”

This was the first time she had seen someone give birth, Xu Jiaojiao’s face was also a little pale.

But she still suppressed her fear and discomfort and checked her.

Sure enough, the baby was almost at the birth canal.

“Don’t shout, save your energy, and use your strength when you feel the pain.”

Quickly recalling the birth process, Xu Jiaojiao calmly instructed the woman in labor.

As if infected by her composure, Liu Fangmei also calmed down.

Following her instructions, she exerted all her strength every time she felt the pain.

This was her first birth, Liu Fangmei only felt that she was in excruciating pain.

But every time she heard the calm encouragement, she was full of strength.

One after another.

Liu Fangxue pulled up her clothes and waited underneath.

She was nervous and scared.

She didn’t know how long it had been, but suddenly, Liu Fangmei felt a release.

Then she heard a “wa” sound, the baby’s loud cry.

The two sisters almost cried together.

And Xu Jiaojiao, holding the fragile little life in her hands, froze.

Although she knew it was one thing, but doing it was another.

She didn’t have any cloth, so she couldn’t wrap the baby up.

At this moment, there were a few hurried footsteps coming from afar.

“They’re over there!”

“Fangmei!”

Hearing this, Xu Jiaojiao looked up, the people coming were a man and a woman, they looked like a mother and son.

And the older woman was holding a blanket in her hand, obviously used to wrap the baby.

“Oh, my darling!”

Zhang Aman walked forward and took the newborn baby with pity.

After wrapping the baby, she looked up and thanked Xu Jiaojiao repeatedly.

“Thank you so much, Qin Shuo’s wife, if it wasn’t for you two, my grandson would have been in danger!”

There were hundreds of people in the team, and Xu Jiaojiao hadn’t gotten to know all of them.

Seeing that it was someone from her team, she quickly said not to be polite.

“Take the woman in labor back first, let her lie down and rest.”

Hearing this, Zhang Aman nodded repeatedly, and then carried the baby and walked down the mountain.

The man who was with her had already carried his wife on his back, thanked her, and followed along.

After everyone left, Xu Jiaojiao felt her hands and feet trembling.

The impact of the scene just now seemed to be coming over her now, her face was a little pale.

She was about to walk down the mountain when she saw the tall figure standing not far away.

Thinking of what she had said on the mountain just now, Xu Jiaojiao felt a pang in her heart.

Not daring to meet those complex eyes, she turned around directly.

Just as she was about to continue walking down the mountain, she saw the big warning characters flashing on the system page.

“Please host to perform the task seriously!”

“Please host to perform the task seriously!”

Xu Jiaojiao: …

Her legs, which had been trembling, suddenly stood straight.

Xu Jiaojiao didn’t even turn her head, she walked her own way without looking sideways.

She looked like she was determined not to compromise.

She thought the system was going to use electric shock again, but the expected pain didn’t come.

The system just kept warning her.

Xu Jiaojiao’s mind moved, and she realized that the lucky bag that was threatened to be taken back was not only not taken back, but also turned golden.

Moreover, the lucky bag seemed to have separated from the system and now belonged to her.

On the other side, the palace-dressed little person on the system was clearly visible.

And her cartoon face was full of anger.

Xu Jiaojiao: …

What’s going on?

Is she unable to punish herself?
