Reborn As a System

Chapter 48

Qi Zimo was in a deep sleep. No matter how strong his consciousness was, he was only a teenager after all. After holding on for so long, he had reached his limit.

Because his memory was sealed, Qin Mo had forgotten some of the exercises that he knew to regulate his body. Hence, he couldn't rest quickly.

Thanks to the large amount of coins he spent on strengthening his body, Qi Zimo didn't fall unconscious or fall sick.

However, even though he was in a deep sleep, his left hand still held onto Shi Qing tightly. His strength was so strong that even an adult like Shi Qing couldn't break free.

Of course, Shi Qing didn't want to break free. He brought Qin Mo back to the car and prepared to let him sleep enough. Otherwise, Father Xia and Mother Xia would be shocked when they returned home like this.

It was fine to have a child, but why did the child hold onto Shi Qing so tightly?

This obsession was so deep that he couldn't let go even when he was asleep?

That wasn't easy to explain. In fact, Shi Qing didn't know how to explain it to Yan Qi.

However, Yan Qi had always been obedient to Qi Zimo. He didn't ask much.

They returned at ten in the morning. Qi Zimo slept until four in the afternoon.

Shi Qing was beside him. Other than being a little hungry, he didn't feel annoyed at all. It was as if the sun was going to set in the blink of an eye.

Qi Zimo had been sleeping soundly. However, when he woke up, he was suddenly jolted awake.

A pair of black eyes opened. There wasn't a hint of confusion. They were as sharp as a knife.

However, when he saw the young man beside him, he instantly calmed down.

Just like a cheetah retracting its claws, he returned from a fierce attacking state to a relaxed and calm state.

— Because the prey in front of him didn't escape.

Shi Qing didn't think too much. He only saw the young man waking up from his dream. He couldn't help but ask with concern, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Qi Zimo ignored his question. Instead, he fixed his gaze on the person in front of him. Soft short hair, beautiful eyes, a sharp nose, and red lips. He was very good-looking. However, he was very sure that he had never seen him before.

Why did he have such a strong sense of familiarity with someone he didn't know at all?

It was so strong that it was as if this person belonged to him. He couldn't bear to see him leave, even for a minute.

This was not normal. Due to the environment he lived in, his vigilance towards strangers was innate. Even he himself found it inexplicable that he had such a strong obsession with someone he had never met before.

But even so, he didn't want to let go at all. He absolutely couldn't let go.

Qi Zimo could not help but hold Shi Qing's hand tightly. He could not explain this feeling, but he did not want to reject it. So be it. This was his to begin with. He had said it before.

Seeing that Qi Zimo did not say anything, Shi Qing thought that she had hit the nail on the head. She quickly comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm here."

Qi Zimo looked up at him and smiled. "Yes."

Shi Qing couldn't help but suck in a breath of air when he saw her smile. So … so … so cute!

I really want to rub her soft cheeks!

Endure … endure … endure!

I'm not a weird uncle!

Shi Qing cleared his throat. Just as he was about to say a few more words to coax the child, he suddenly heard the sound of her stomach rumbling.

He smiled dotingly at Qi Zimo. "Are you hungry?"

Qi Zimo's gaze fell on Shi Qing's lower abdomen.

Shi Qing's' doting 'expression was a little difficult to maintain. It couldn't be his stomach, right? It couldn't be!

In response, his stomach rumbled again. This time, the rumbling sound was even louder. He also felt waves of pain. The pain of hunger …

Shi Qing's face was a little embarrassed. He happened to meet Yan Qi, who was standing silently at the side. Shi Qing quickly smiled generously. "Haha, hahaha, Yan Qi, right? Haha, Xiao Qi must be hungry too. You're all hungry. Come, let's go home and eat."

Yan Qi, "…"

Qi Zimo smiled and held Shi Qing's hand tightly. He softly replied, "Okay."

Shi Qing's face was very dry. It was so embarrassing. Why did he feel like he was being 'doted' by a ten-year-old child?

This role was a little messy!

Shi Qing had already sent a message to Father Xia and Mother Xia. He casually made up an excuse and said that he would not be home until dinner time.

So at this time, Mother Xia had already prepared a table full of good food. As soon as he entered the house, the aroma of the food assailed his nose. It made his hungry Gugu's stomach rumble even more happily.

After introducing themselves to each other, Father Xia and Mother Xia were very surprised. After all, Qi Zimo's name was very popular recently. Qi Lv's eldest son was going to undergo the space assessment this year. The common people were all looking forward to the appearance of another eighth level space carrier.

One had to know that because of the Qi family's bloodline, there was a 50% chance that there would be a fifth level space carrier in every generation.

Qi Zimo's grandfather had six children. The eldest was a sixth level space carrier. The second was a fourth level space carrier. The third was a daughter and had a fifth level space carrier. The fourth and fifth were twins and also had fifth level space carriers. Only the sixth was Qi Zimo's father, Qi Lv. This time, he had a big breakthrough and was a rare eighth level space carrier!

They were all very talented. One was their bloodline, and the large amount of resources to nurture them also made their space growth rate very good.

One had to know that among the common people, a fourth level space carrier was already very outstanding. But in this generation of the Qi family, a fourth level space carrier was the weakest.

This kind of outstanding physique was the foundation of the aristocratic families.

Therefore, during the annual aptitude assessment, all the children of the aristocratic families who had reached the age of eleven were the focus of attention. The common people were very happy to discuss their aptitude and at the same time, they were very excited.

The level of their space aptitude directly determined the resources of the area they were in. If the level was too low, it would directly affect the living standards of the people in the next few decades!

For example, when Qi Lv's level eight planting space was first identified, it was simply a joyous occasion for the entire region. It was decorated with lanterns and streamers for a month, and after Qi Lv entered the school, the attention was doubled. Everything was the best, and the best was exposed to the eyes of the people almost all the time.

And Qi Lv did not disappoint. He was smart and serious in his studies. The space had been steadily growing. By the time he graduated, it was already very big.

Now, not only did he succeed the position of the head of the Qi family, but he also increased the number of residents and attracted more people to move in, making the Lan New District more prosperous.

And Qi Zimo was Qi Lv's eldest son, the first successor of such an outstanding father. Almost from the moment he was born, he was given high hopes.

More than ten years of anticipation. Seeing that he was going to turn eleven in two months, Qi Zimo's name was even more well-known. This was the real focus of attention.

If there was another Level Eight Space Carrier … or a rare Level Nine or Level Ten Space, the benefits would be unimaginable!

Father Xia and Mother Xia were definitely nervous to see a legendary figure, but Shi Qing had already thought of an excuse. He explained that he was recommended by the teacher to be in charge of the basic tutoring for Qi Zimo in these two months before entering the school.

This was a rule that had been in place for a long time, and it was indeed the responsibility of the new graduates. But because the graduation exam was more arduous, the graduates who were chosen to take on this task were mostly very good students. This way, their grades would not be affected.

Xia Nuo had this opportunity. The teacher had mentioned it to him many times, but Xia Nuo was too nervous and focused too much on the exam results, so he did not dare to delay. Therefore, even if he knew that the young master of the Qi family was among the new graduates, he did not dare to take the risk.

After all, there was only one Qi Zimo, but there were tens of thousands of new students. He did not want to take the risk with such a small chance.

But Xia Nuo did not have time to mention this to Father Xia and Mother Xia, so it was not a problem for Shi Qing to say that he was chosen now.

When Father Xia and Mother Xia heard him say this, their faces lit up. This was really great luck.

Even if they did not consider what would happen after graduation, just being Qi Zimo's tutor before entering the school was already a very good reputation in the future.

Moreover, Qi Zimo was still young and a child's heart was pure. As long as they treated him sincerely and left some affection, it would be very beneficial in the future.

Father Xia and Mother Xia were not very snobbish people, but they were not inflexible either. They would not force things like this if they did not encounter it, but if they did, they would cherish it.

Mother Xia insisted on adding a few more dishes, but she was stopped by Shi Qing. Mother Xia thought about it and just smiled at Qi Zimo and said, "If there's anything you want to eat, just tell Auntie. Auntie will make it for you."

Xia Nuo's appearance was similar to Mother Xia's. Qi Zimo was very familiar with Xia Nuo, so he also had a good impression of Mother Xia. His little face, which was usually serious, smiled slightly and said very appropriately, "Auntie, there's no need to trouble yourself. It's already very good."

Dinner was very enjoyable. Shi Qing helped Mother Xia clear the table. Just as he entered the kitchen, Mother Xia pushed him out and said, "I already said that you don't need to do this. Go and play."

Shi Qing did not insist. After all, there was a little child sitting in the living room, and the little child's eyes kept drifting to him. In order not to arouse his parents' suspicion, it was better for him to obediently stay by the little host's side.

When he returned to the living room, Father Xia was enthusiastically preparing. Although he knew Qi Zimo's identity, Father Xia was not too reserved. After all, he was just a child. Moreover, Qi Zimo was really cute, so people couldn't help but like him.

Father Xia was a typical child lover. When he saw Qi Zimo, who was in his teens, he couldn't help but think of Xia Nuo when he was young. His fatherly love was bursting, and his eyes were curved as he played with Qi Zimo.

Father Xia even revealed things about Xia Nuo when he was in his teens from time to time. These little gossip made Qi Zimo very happy, so his acceptance of these 'childish' games was much higher.

When Shi Qing came over, Father Xia happened to receive a notification from the space. It turned out that the ore was ripe and could be harvested.

This was a big matter, and it concerned the family's livelihood. Father Xia didn't dare to delay and said, "You guys have fun. I'm going to work for a while."

Shi Qing used to help Father Xia harvest ore in the past, so he knew that Father Xia's work was not easy. He wanted to go in and help, but he couldn't leave Qin Mo here alone.

On second thought, he said to Qin Mo, "Do you want to go and take a look together?"

Qi Zimo was slightly stunned and asked in return, "Can I?"

Father Xia heard him and said with some embarrassment, "The space is a little dirty …"

Qi Zimo's eyes darkened, but Shi Qing said, "It's okay!

Anyway, we have to bathe at night. "Then he looked at Qin Mo." Are you afraid of being dirty? "

Qi Zimo's slightly disappointed mood immediately brightened up. He quickly said, "I'm not afraid."

Shi Qing's eyes curved. "Then come!"

Qi Zimo looked at Shi Qing in a daze and smiled as well.

He had never entered anyone's space before. This was the first time. Even though the space in front of him was very small and was filled with gray rocks and flying dust, he felt that everything was so fresh.

Although Qi Lv had the proud eighth-level space, he was really too busy. Moreover, his space was too important. Because of the huge amount of food production, Qi Lv himself became a key person of protection. Moreover, there were troops stationed in the space all year round to prevent accidents from happening.

One had to know that even if the harvest was not good, it would have a huge impact on the entire area.

Therefore, it was impossible for Qi Zimo to enter Qi Lv's space. His mother had died early, so he didn't have the chance to enter his mother's space.

His stepmother wasn't bad to him, but they weren't close at all. His brother could enter his stepmother's space, but he couldn't even think about it.

Yan Qi's space was full of whirlwinds. Even Yan Qi didn't dare to enter, let alone others.

Therefore, even though he was almost eleven years old, Qi Zimo had never seen the space.

This was a rare thing in this world. Although children before the age of eleven didn't have their own space, most of them had entered the space of their parents, siblings, or relatives.

For someone like Qi Zimo, even a homeless child wouldn't be able to enter.

Shi Qing had been paying attention to Qin Mo. He saw the trace of loneliness in Qin Mo's eyes clearly. Although he had some doubts in his heart, he didn't ask much.

'I've never entered the space' was not something worth sharing.

To put it bluntly, this kind of thing was a little shameful in this world. It was something that was hard to talk about.

This could mean that you were an orphan without parents or relatives. Moreover, this orphan was very popular, so bad that he didn't have any friends.

But in reality, Qi Zimo had a bunch of immediate family members and many people around him, but none of them really cared about him.

At this thought, Shi Qing sighed in his heart. He thought that Qin Mo would enjoy a peaceful life after sealing his memories. But unfortunately, Qi Zimo's experience wasn't good … Perhaps it was similar to Qin Mo's childhood.

With this thought, he turned to look at Qi Zimo's little face that was forced to hold up. Shi Qing felt his heart melt!

Therefore, he took care of him even more.

Father Xia's space was a typical ore space. There was only one ore that was produced, and that was iron ore.

In this era, iron ore was still very popular. It was widely used in industry and the consumption was huge.

But the problem was that there were many spaces that were rich in iron ore. This caused the price of iron ore to not be high, and sometimes it would even plummet.

However, with the government's regulation, the current prices were still stable. The fluctuation of iron ore was stable, so a small-scale space like Father Xia's could have a stable income.

However, the work was a little heavy. Every time it was time to collect, they would be busy day and night. Because they couldn't bear to hire workers, they could only work together as a family.

Because of Xia Nuo's memory, Shi Qing was familiar with this work. He collected quickly and accurately.

His original intention was to let Qi Zimo play here, but even if the host had become a little host, he was still an awesome child.

Probably because Qin Mo had strengthened his body before, even if Qi Zimo was only ten years old, his eyesight, stamina, and strength couldn't be underestimated.

He just watched Shi Qing collect a piece and he learned it.

Moreover, his speed was fast and accurate. He was even faster than Shi Qing.

How could Shi Qing be convinced? For a moment, he was full of energy. The two of them competed and did it in full swing.

Father Xia was also panting at the side. When he had time, he lit a cigarette. When he turned his head and saw the two boys so energetic, he couldn't help but laugh. The slight unfamiliarity he had with Qi Zimo completely disappeared.

He squatted there and imagined that if he and Xinrui (Mother Xia) worked hard when they were young and had two children, this would probably be the scene!

Unfortunately, they were old!

After an hour, Father Xia didn't let Shi Qing and Qin Mo work anymore. He forced the two boys out and told them to take a shower and rest early. Children were young. Working for a while was training their bodies. If they worked for too long, it wouldn't be good. It would be troublesome if they hurt their muscles and bones.

Before they went out, Father Xia instructed Shi Qing, "After bathing, give Xiao Mo a good massage to loosen his muscles so that he won't be aching all over the next day."

Shi Qing nodded in agreement.

On the other hand, Qi Zimo was still unsatisfied. This hour of non-stop work, he didn't feel tired at all. It was as if he had endless energy, and this energy was increasing.

He didn't have any memories, so he didn't know that it was because of exercise that the energy stored in his body was awakening bit by bit. It gradually merged with his current body, improving his physique and strengthening his qualities in all aspects.

But when he saw Father Xia's insistence and saw the water droplets on Shi Qing's forehead, he didn't insist and left the space with Shi Qing.

Mother Xia had already prepared hot water and sent the two boys into the bathroom. She turned and went into the space to help Father Xia.

Shi Qing and Qi Zimo entered the bathroom and were a little confused. This … Why didn't they bathe separately?

Why did they have to do it together?

Outside, Yan Qi asked softly, "Young Master, do you need me to serve you?"

Qi Zimo said, "No need." But his eyes were fixed on Shi Qing.

This time, Shi Qing swallowed back the words "I'll go out first, you can bathe first".

But … Did they really have to bathe together?

Bathe together with the host?!

Shi Qing's face turned red strangely.

Qi Zimo had already started to unbutton his shirt. After taking off his shirt, he started to unbuckle his belt.

Shi Qing told himself that this was a ten year old child, not the ridiculously tall Qin Mo!

Look at this fair skin, it wasn't Qin Mo's firm chest, nor was it Qin Mo's well-defined stomach, and it definitely didn't have those two long legs!

But as he thought about it, his powerful imagination filled in the gaps of Qin Mo's body!

A naked Qin Mo standing in front of him … When he thought about that deadly dream … Shi Qing's entire body was about to burn up!

Three minutes later, Shi Qing ran away. No, he couldn't do it. He couldn't bathe with Little Qin Mo!

After bathing, there was something worse.

Father Xia had specially instructed him to give Little Qin Mo a massage …

Shi Qing couldn't avoid this. He couldn't let Qin Mo fall asleep like this. Otherwise, he would definitely be in so much pain that he wouldn't be able to get out of bed the next day. So he could only bite the bullet and start the massage.

When he really faced it, Shi Qing calmed down. At least he wasn't completely perverted. After concealing his spirit and qi, he could still face Little Qin Mo properly.

As he massaged, his mind wandered. Shi Qing started to find excuses for himself again.

That dream didn't seem to be anything. In the end, it was still the aftereffects of the orc world. Anyone who was tormented like that would have their imagination run wild. Moreover, Qin Mo was really good-looking … so it shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Yes, it definitely wasn't a big deal!

With this thought, he heaved a sigh of relief. When he looked at Little Qin Mo again, he realized that he had already fallen asleep.

Shi Qing carefully wanted to leave. Just as he got up, before he could move, the person who was originally asleep suddenly opened his eyes. A pair of black eyes locked onto him.

Shi Qing was stunned for a moment. His right hand was held tightly.

"Stay."

Shi Qing was very hesitant. He had just mentally prepared himself to get rid of the strange uncles. But if they slept together again … he really couldn't help but let his imagination run wild!

After hesitating for a long time, Shi Qing decisively insisted. "It's too crowded here. I'll go to the room next door."

Qi Zimo stared at him. His black eyes were deep in the dark night. No trace of emotion could be seen, but the strength in his hand gradually increased.

Shi Qing sadly realized that he couldn't break free.

He couldn't help but frown. In a low voice, he called out, "Little Mo?"

The low voice made Qi Zimo come back to his senses. He was shocked by the strong dark emotions in his heart just now. He refused to let go. He couldn't let go. If he wanted to escape, he would rather destroy the crazy emotions …

He was shocked and unconsciously let go of Shi Qing's hand.

Although he didn't want to say it, he still forced himself to say, "Okay."

Shi Qing heaved a sigh of relief and said gently, "Good night." Only then did he get up and leave.

As he watched Shi Qing walk out, Qi Zimo tried his best to suppress the urge to chase after him. Because of this restraint, his hands involuntarily spasmed. It was as if there was a wild beast hidden in his heart that kept roaring. Why did you let him escape? Why did you let him leave? If he leaves, you will have nothing!

Chase after him, hold him tightly, control him. He belongs to you, he is yours!

These intense emotions crazily hit him. He tried his best to resist and suppress them, but the more he burned, the fiercer and fiercer it burned … This kind of emotion that was engraved in his bones like an instinct, he couldn't resist it.

The feeling of waking up in the middle of the night came again. The cold air, the empty palms, he couldn't fall asleep, he couldn't sleep peacefully.

Shi Qing went next door. He lifted the blanket and snuggled in. He closed his eyes and started to sleep.

But he, who usually slept well, couldn't fall asleep again tonight. He tossed and turned several times. He really couldn't feel at ease in his heart.

This lasted for an hour, but he still didn't feel sleepy. Shi Qing simply lifted the blanket, jumped out of bed, and decided to take a look.

He quietly moved next door and carefully opened the door. As soon as he entered the room, he was stunned.

In the dark room, the young man sat quietly by the bed. His actions were no different from when Shi Qing left. He was quiet and cold, like a lifeless statue.

There was no doubt that if Shi Qing didn't come to take a look, he would sit there for the whole night.

Just like the previous two days and three nights.

Alone, he stayed until dawn.
