The bad value system is measuring values.

Chapter 167 Easy Love

System notification: "Affection level increased by 10, current affection level is 90."

Qiao Xiao thought to herself, "Now I'm trying to find a way to get out and frame Song Qingyu so I can die a horrible death."

System: "Host, it's truly remarkable that you've lived this long."

Qiao Xiao smiled and said, "I'm very pleased with your compliment. I have indeed been trying my best to live."

System: "Host, won't you eat more? It's your favorite dish."

Qiao Xiao: "I didn't say I like sweets."

system:"?"

Qiao Xiao smiled and said, "You misunderstood me. The reason I like to eat those dishes has something to do with the people involved, not the taste."

The system knows who she is talking about.

...

That night, Qiao Xiao stayed up late again. She didn't like staying up late because the feeling of sleepiness made her feel like she was dying. But she couldn't fall asleep, so she could only lie there and doze off because she knew that Qin Yan was definitely watching her.

Forcing yourself to sleep can generate intense anxiety and unease, and the more you force yourself, the more likely you are to experience insomnia.

"I really want to sleep." After arriving at the hospital, she couldn't sleep at night. During the day, she relied on brief fainting spells caused by hunger to barely get some rest. This cycle repeated itself, and her physical condition deteriorated.

At the central command post, the commander tried to improve Qiao Xiao's health, but failed.

"You can no longer attempt to enter the strategy world."

"I know."

“You really can’t. You were already punished last time. Your eyes were ripped out, and you were blind for almost a month. Your vision has only just recovered. If you go again this time, you may lose something else.”

"It does not matter."

"Commander!"

He resolutely resisted the fierce resistance of the conquered world, forcibly pulling his consciousness away from it. This process was extremely painful, like tearing off a layer of skin from his body. At the same time, his soul was subjected to electric shock-like torment.

The commander's consciousness drifted towards the boundless white void where Qiao Xiao was. At the edge of this void, he saw a ragged little girl sitting alone on the ground. Although he had never seen this girl before, he was certain that this was Qiao Xiao.

Suddenly, the commander seemed to fall from a great height, crashing heavily to the ground, unable to move for a moment. The little girl turned her head, gently touched him with her muddy little hands, and asked curiously, "Who are you?"

The commander rubbed his throbbing head and asked the little girl in a gentle tone, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

The little girl pointed to her head, her eyes filled with confusion: "My mind is all messed up, I can't sleep."

Just then, a familiar room appeared out of nowhere, leaving both of them momentarily disoriented. The little girl, upon seeing the room, excitedly ran towards it, shouting, "This is my bed!" Her movements were natural and fluid, as if she were already accustomed to it. The commander followed closely behind, stepping into the room, which was filled with a faint atmosphere of melancholy.

The little girl suddenly collapsed onto the bed, hugging her pillow tightly and curling up into a ball.

The commander gently advised, "This place might restrict you. Let's go somewhere else."

The little girl looked up in confusion, her eyes filled with bewilderment: "But I have nowhere else to go. Where can you take me?"

The commander reached out and gently stroked the little girl's hair, offering her a touch of warmth.

However, at that moment, the surrounding scenery began to distort, and darkness spread rapidly like a tide. The world sensed the Commander's intrusion and activated its defense mechanisms.

The commander held the little girl tightly, his eyes filled with unwavering determination: "Don't be afraid, I won't let it hurt you." He concentrated all his energy, unleashing a powerful surge of power to fiercely confront the darkness.

Light and darkness intertwined, and finally, the light shone brightly while the darkness gradually dissipated. The system emitted a piercing warning: "You have violated the rules and will face severe consequences!"

The commander smirked coldly: "I'm willing to pay any price to save her."

The system remained silent for a moment, and then the scene gradually returned to normal.

The little girl felt a strong wave of drowsiness wash over her and quickly fell into a deep sleep. The commander stood by her bedside, gazing lovingly at her peaceful sleeping face. A moment later, his body began to blur, eventually turning into a wisp of smoke and disappearing without a trace.

That night, Qiao Xiao finally had a rare peaceful sleep.

When Qiao Xiao woke up, the room was empty, but she felt inexplicably at ease.

What kind of dream did I have? It was so warm, I haven't been this happy in a long time.

She immediately picked up her phone to record her feelings and this spiritual nourishment. After this dream, the commander lost his voice.

A week later, Qiao Xiao turned on the TV and saw news reports of the Lin Group's bankruptcy.

System: "Congratulations, host, the plot is 80% complete."

Upon seeing the character "Lin," Qiao Xiao suddenly thought of Lin Zhengqi. "What's the current situation with Lin Zhengqi?"

System: "Unable to obtain information from non-strategists."

Qiao Xiao's eyes were indifferent. "It's definitely better to be the protagonist."

A short while later, Qin Yan pushed open the door, his eyes brimming with joy. "Did you see the message?" He slowly approached her, then squatted down to look into her eyes.

Qiao Xiao smiled, "That's wonderful, Qin Yan." She really wanted to ask him when he could leave, but felt it wasn't the right time.

"You must have had a tough time all by yourself these past few days." She looked at him affectionately.

Qin Yan saw through her determined gaze and said gently, "Now, we are finally safe."

Qiao Xiao threw back the covers and got out of bed, walking to the window to look at the scenery outside. Her eyes revealed longing and anticipation for the outside world, which further aggravated Qin Yan's unease.

He seemed somewhat panicked that there was something else in Qiao Xiao's eyes, and that once she left this hospital, it would be difficult to find a place where he could completely track her whereabouts.

His desire to control her grew unchecked over time.

Looking at Qiao Xiao, who was still sitting there, he felt a strange fear in his heart, a fear that he might lose her in the next second.

Qin Yan thought to herself, "Fortunately, she didn't mention leaving."

However, Qiao Xiao sensed that he was deliberately changing the subject, and she couldn't stand it anymore. She slowly said, "Qin Yan, don't run away. You know what I'm going to say." She had really reached her limit.

Qin Yan's face paled, and after a long silence, she finally spoke: "Qiao Xiao, it's not safe for you to go out now."

Qiao Xiao sneered: "Unsafe? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds?"

Qin Yan opened his mouth, but didn't know how to refute it.

Qiao Xiao stepped forward and took his hand. "I will always be by your side, Qin Yan, I will always be by your side."

Qin Yan looked up at her, and after what seemed like an eternity, he said, "Okay." He believed she was there to save him, and therefore would never abandon him.

Everything seemed pre-arranged, like actors going through the motions, much like a character the author didn't care about. Qin Yan gave Qiao Xiao a million dollars under the guise of pocket money.

Everyone knows that President Qin is keeping a mistress, but a mistress is still a mistress, a status that cannot be openly acknowledged, which makes Qin Yan feel guilty towards her.

Meanwhile, Qiao Xiao is plotting to frame Miss Song.

Qiao Xiao: "How could I, the mistress, harm the real owner?"

System: "Host, the target's affection level is not yet full before this."

Qiao Xiao: "How can I increase his affection? By framing the female lead and then confessing that I love him too much and want to be his only one, wouldn't he be moved and increase his affection to the maximum? That would be too crazy!"

The system asked worriedly, "Host..."

Qiao Xiao: "Qin Yan is so pitiful. He has his difficulties, but he can't solve his own problems. He only makes his lover suffer with him. I don't want that."

"The longer I stay in this world, the worse my mental state becomes. System, please free me from this world."

To be honest, Qin Yan didn't really sense the indifference that Qiao Xiao occasionally showed. He knew clearly that her love for him wasn't perfect, and he always felt that something was missing.

However, she truly only had him in her life, never having much contact with other men, and even disliking contact with them. Therefore, even without 100% love, he was willing to ignore it and willingly conceal his vague resentment, loving her with all his might.

Even if Qiao Xiao doesn't do anything, Qin Yan's favorability towards her will easily reach 100.

System: "Congratulations, host, you have successfully completed the mission. Once you finish the storyline, you can leave the world and complete the collection of fragments."
