The Love System

"The results you did were all wrong, you have to rework them. CEO Max just said that the report you made was not what he wanted."

"But sir. I did it on the advice of the seniors."

"Don't argue! You yourself know that CEO Max is a very perfectionist. You are still new and don't refuse if you still want to work here!"

The conversation between Xena and the supervisor at work kept ringing in her ears. Xena still remembers when her boss crumpled up the report paper and then threw it in any direction. What's wrong with the work? Even though Xena had done her best day and night for these three days, until there were dark bags under her eyes due to lack of sleep.

"Looks like he's wrong. I'm sure CEO Max's eyes are nearsighted. Or it could be that his minus has increased and he has to quickly replace his glasses with new ones," Xena grumbled while walking. He kept re-reading the results of the report on the paper he was holding, according to him there was nothing wrong at all.

Xena has to be patient, even though it's the second time CEO Max has ordered her to rework her work. He can't back down let alone be fired. After all, the company is his first place of work after being unemployed for a long time. So, he couldn't give up if he was only scolded like before.

"Okay, I'll start again from the beginning. Are you satisfied, CEO Max? This paper is no longer needed, I'd better throw it away," Xena said. His hands deftly tore the report paper into four parts. Then just throw it on the street.

Not long, drizzle suddenly fell. Xena didn't care and kept walking briskly, on the shoulder of the road by herself. Before he got home, his cell phone rang. Apparently there was an incoming message and he immediately read it that second.

"What? CEO Max asked for my previous report again? Bad, how is this? I just threw it away!"

Xena's eyes widened, she regretted that she had thrown away her report paper. Then looked back again, saw the scrap of paper earlier. "Luckily it's still there."

Xena immediately ran, she had to quickly retrieve it before the paper was drenched in the rain and crushed by a car.

"There are only three rips. I'll have to find another one."

Xena keeps looking and has to get it intact. If not, he will repeat the report from the beginning. Plus, he forgot and doesn't have a copy. When she saw that the last piece was in the middle of the road, Xena quickly caught it.

"Finally ... "

Unfortunately, before Xena could take another piece. From behind, very quickly a boy pushed him hard to the side of the road until he fell over. Making Xena's head hit the green bridge railing.

"Kyaa!" Xena shouted. She looked at the boy standing in front of her "You kid, dare to push me?"

The boy's eyes were crystal clear, guiltlessly looking at Xena while hugging an urn. The boy was still silent, then reached out his hand, trying to help Xena up.

"Ah, my head really hurts."

Xena tried to get up and stabilize her body so she could stand up. Holding his aching head, he approached the little guy and scolded him again. "Surely your parents didn't educate you well! Pushing and getting others hurt is an act of violence. Don't you know, huh!"

The little boy who was being scolded earlier looked scared, so surprised that he accidentally dropped the jar in his hand. It was so hard that it came into contact with the asphalt and shattered it into pieces.

"Auntie made me drop the jar!" said the boy, pointing to his broken jar.

Xena gasped. Why was he even scolded back? Even though it was clear he wasn't the one who dropped it earlier. Xena's emotions are unstable because of CEO Max, plus a small child deliberately pushes and accuses her back. Xena didn't accept it and went back to scolding him.

"Don't think that because you're a child, I won't scold you. Why did you push me so hard earlier? What if I have a concussion, let alone amnesia? Do your parents want to take responsibility? Look at the paper I'm going to take now it's shapeless. How about this?" ? I don't have a copy!" Xena snapped, pointing at the little boy's face.

The little boy was scared again, his body shaking. She was almost crying and her hands were trying to reach the shards of the urn. But just as he picked up a splinter, a small child's hand was scratched and his blood touched the splinter.

"Aunt would have died if I didn't push earlier," said the little boy, sobbing.

Suddenly a car horn sounded. Disrupting Xena's thoughts and making her emotions subside immediately. He only realized his position earlier when he took the piece of paper almost halfway. Xena saw that the traffic in front of her was not too heavy, she might have been hit by a car that was going fast. Luckily the little boy pushed him. Otherwise, it was certain that Xena would lose her life.

Turns out this little kid pushed me so as not to get hit. He's so good, why did I even scold him?

"Don't argue on the street! Don't you guys know this is a highway?" A truck driver shouted at them.

When Xena realized that she had been helped. Suddenly time seemed to stop, everything in front of him seemed to freeze. The car just now had just stopped honking its horn, the position of the mouth of the driver who was scolding him was still open. The people he saw crossing also stopped, they were like mannequins lined up neatly in a shop. In fact, the rainwater also stopped like crystal grains flying. Then Xena turned to look at the small child in front of her again, she was still in a squatting position about to pick up the shards of the jar. His dripping blood also froze before he fell to the asphalt.

Why did everything that was moving suddenly stop? What happened?

Xena looked confused. He grabbed the jar that the little boy had broken and looked at it closely. "This jar? Why do I feel like I've seen it before?"

All of the urn shards suddenly disappeared, including the one he was holding just now. Replaced by a semicolon marked on Xena's left wrist, right at the pulse point.

"Why is there a semicolon mark on my hand all of a sudden?" Xena twisted her wrist. He looked confused, especially when the semicolon sign flashed, along with the appearance of a box screen the size of a mineral water cardboard. It looks transparent like a computer, displays several texts containing messages.

[Welcome to the Love System. You are currently bound by a contract with the System. Introduce me Agent Yan, who will assist you.]

Xena was immediately taken aback. Still in disbelief, he tried to touch the transparent screen in front of him, rereading the writing on it. Then he touched his cheek, making sure he wasn't dreaming. "Am I hallucinating?" His breathing started to be irregular.

Xena has read fantasy novels several times. He once read a system-themed novel. He thinks it's just fiction, but what he's experiencing now is real and he himself experienced it.

"Bound in contract? You're crazy, I never asked for it."

Through the writing on the screen, Agent Yan replied to Xena's words just now. Completely write down why he was bound by a contract with the system.

[This little kid is called Felix. If Felix had not pushed, you would have been hit by a container car to death. First mistake: You don't thank him and scold him. Second: You scared him so that the jar in his hand fell over. The jar is his sacred object. After breaking it and picking it up, the jar will automatically enter your body with the semicolon sign on the left side of the vein. you can suppress it to communicate with the system.]

Between believing it or not, Xena rubbed her eyes and repeatedly read the system's script. Everything that was explained made sense, but Xena still assumed that she was fantasizing. Pressing the semicolon, seeing what information he must comply with.

"What if I don't want to?" Xena asked haughtily.

[Turn back time and remove Felix from your memory. Automatically, you will die from being hit by the container earlier.]

Xena was shocked again. Even if he half believed it, he still spared his life and thought the system's writing was true.

"No, I don't want to! Then if I accept it, what should I do?"

[Miss Xena should be a surrogate mother for Felix. The main mission, must make Felix happy to have a complete and harmonious family.]

[Getting a reward after receiving a task from the system.]

[First mission: Finding a father according to Felix's wish.]

The last message the system sent took Xena by surprise. Xena collapsed on the spot. He bemoaned his fate now. Fresh from work after a long period of unemployment, he had to shoulder the new burden of the system.

"It's hard to even find a boyfriend, let alone finding a future father. Where should I find one?"
