Crying While Filling the Pit I Dug - Chapter 5
Pushing aside the hay, Song Miaomiao helped the skinny Ling Qianyi up, cradling him in her arms, and gently fed him the rice soup. During the first mouthful, the rice soup flowed out along his lips. Fortunately, he seemed to sense the source of water and drank a big gulp from the second mouthful.
Ling Qianyi slowly opened his eyes, which were black and shiny.
It was the first time Song Miaomiao looked at the male lead of her book, but she didn’t feel the slightest excitement; instead, she felt deeply distressed. Had she lost her mind when writing the story like this? She portrayed the male lead in such a harsh way, his entire family slaughtered, wandering alone. How could she be so cruel? If it were in modern society, who wouldn’t feel sorry for a child who had lost their entire family?
Ling Qianyi stretched out his small hand, tremblingly wiped away Song Miaomiao’s tears, and hoarsely said, “Don’t cry.”
Song Miaomiao nodded, suppressing her tears, and fed the remaining rice soup to him. He drank half a bowl of rice soup with her assistance. Song Miaomiao picked up the plain steamed stuffed bun again, carefully broke it open, and fed it to him in small pieces. In such a way, Ling Qianyi ate the first bun with her help.
Song Miaomiao fed him some rice soup again, and when she broke open the second bun and was about to feed it to him, Ling Qianyi closed his lips, shook his head, and pushed her hand holding the bun to her own lips, “You eat.”
She shook her head, resolute in bringing the bun to Ling Qianyi’s mouth again. But he said, “Eat, I heard that woman say that she won’t allow you to eat tonight.”
What? Male lead, you are already in this state; take care of yourself first!
Song Miaomiao was determined not to yield. She pushed the steamed stuffed bun into Ling Qianyi’s mouth with a little force, stuffing the rest of the bun and rice soup into his stomach.
After eating, Ling Qianyi regained some strength. His voice was not as hoarse and weak, and he said childishly, “Thank you.”
Song Miaomiao shook her head. She should be the one apologizing to him. If she hadn’t insisted on creating dramatic conflicts, believing that the heavens would assign great responsibilities to others, he wouldn’t have to suffer so much as the male lead. But she couldn’t blame herself. First, she didn’t know the story would become a reality. Second, in martial arts novel stories, there was no male lead who did not bear blood feuds, national and family enmity.
Ling Qianyi asked cautiously, “You can’t speak?”
Song Miaomiao lowered her head, realizing she had dug a hole for herself. Why write about a character who couldn’t speak? How inconvenient life was?!
Ling Qian said anxiously, “I’m sorry.”
A rough voice came from the yard, “Unfortunately, the guests at the table under the window sill said there is a fingernail in the dish. We are not a butcher’s shop. They don’t have to make such excuses if they want to extort money…”
It was the cook’s voice!
Song Miaomiao hurriedly covered Ling Qianyi’s mouth. The cook had a bad temper and a bad heart. He usually yelled at her, but at the time a customer must be blackmailing him. So it must be better not to provoke him.
The waiter smiled and said, “You can make another one for him. Anyway, the lady boss won’t be back for a while, as there are too many people at the genius doctor.”
Song Miaomiao kept covering Ling Qianyi’s mouth. After a while, confirming that the cook had gone to the front hall again, she quietly went to the kitchen and returned the bowl.
As the sky darkened, Song Miaomiao and Ling Qianyi cuddled up in the cowshed and slept through the night.
———————————
When the sky was turning pale, Song Miaomiao was woken up by the mechanical and electronic male voice in her mind. It was still very dark around, and she couldn’t see anything clearly. Song Miaomiao closed her eyes to receive the notification from the system.
[Author Miao Miao, your second task is issued: Escort the male lead to the Wanshan Sect. Nature of Task 2: The plot of the original novel has started. Task two bonus points: 200 points.]
Song Miaomiao slowly recalled that the little mute cannon fodder she wrote back then seemed to have only been mentioned twice in the plot. First, she met the male lead at the beginning of the chapter. Second, she went to the Wanshan Sect with the male lead. Later, she forgot about that character while writing. Although she didn’t know why she wrote about the little mute wanting to learn martial arts, combined with her experience in the past few years, it was probably because the little mute didn’t have martial arts and was bullied miserably, so she wanted to learn a few tricks.
The mechatronic male voice said, [The three-dimensionality of the “little mute” character has been improved, and the bonus points are 100 points. Accumulated 200 points.]
[The character’s three-dimensionality has been improved? Why?]
[The system cannot detect it.]
Song Miaomiao: …
What did she just do? She did nothing! She was just lying here in the cowshed. She didn’t do anything. What was she thinking just now? Why did the little mute want to learn martial arts… Could it be because she discovered the motive of this character? When Song Miaomiao abandoned one or two pitfalls, she also read some theoretical books on writing novels. For example, if she wanted to avoid flattening characters, one of the most important points was that each character’s behavior must have a reasonable motive …
She wrote about the little mute as Ling Qianyi’s little partner on the way to apprenticeship, but she never thought about the motive of the little mute’s apprenticeship. What was this? This was a loophole in the plot! So now the motive for the little mute’s apprenticeship made the character more three-dimensional?
Never mind, that’s how it should be.
Now that she had 200 points, she didn’t know what wishes these points could be exchanged for. Could she return to her own world? Probably not, last time the system Oppa said that all tasks must be completed, but what skills could be exchanged for it?
