"You're alive!! I'm so glad!" Bai Wei said in between choked sobs while hugging Jiang Long.
Jiang Long: ?????????
...
As confused as Jiang Long was, the system was ten times more confused. The system was so scared that it was pulling out its data strings and biting them.
[Host, what are you doing?? You are going to get us kicked out of this world or worse. If the main conscience of the world detects that we aren't of this world it'll tear us apart!!]
Quiet, I need to change this Bai Wei's character in order to complete the mission.
The system sniffled and quieted down. It silently went to write down its last refrain to put on its gravestone when the world conscience kills them.
It read: blame me not for being a young system and choosing the wrong host. Instead, blame the hardware that overestimated this host's IQ.
On the other side, Jiang Long stood frozen as a sobbing Bai Wei hung off of him and repeatedly said things to the effect of 'you didn't die' and 'thank god'.
He was about to push Bai Wei off of him but when he put his hands on Bai Wei's chest to push him off he felt a warm stickiness on his hand. Jiang Long looked down to see that Bai Wei's stitches had come undone and started bleeding again with neither of them realizing.
A little panicked Jiang Long quickly called for a nurse while persuading Bai Wei to sit back to the hospital bed.
After his initial outburst Bai
Wei seemed to calm down significantly, but he still held onto the corner of Jiang Long's shirt as if afraid he would be gone the second he let go. Jiang Long found this amusing as he watched Bai Wei's fingers turn white due to the tightness of his grip on Jiang Long's shirt.
Jiang Long acquiesced to his silent demand and stayed by Bai Wei's side until doctors arrived and ushered him away. Under the doctor's urging Bai Wei finally let go of his clothes but not without giving him one more glance. Jiang Long found that there was nothing but absolute trust in himself in Bai Wei's eyes as he glanced at himself leaving Jiang Long with even more mixed emotions as he walked out of the room.
Meanwhile the system in Bai Wei's mind tried to make a noose out of code and cried more miserably than Bai Wei did a second ago when the data crumbled to the ground.
[W-We're gonna die T^T]the system sobbed pitifully as it watched the ones and zeros scatter to the floor.
We are not going to die. Just trust me and watch. Bai Wei finally couldn't stand the systems premature grieving and tried to calm the system down. The system looked at Bai Wei like a child who had done wrong before nodding his head and sitting down to watch the turn of events.
Indeed they were not kicked out of the world. Not yet at least.
...
Jiang Long stood outside of the door for a while before a doctor came to talk to him about Bai Wei's situation.
" He seems to have stabilized. His wounds will take around three months to heal, but his mental state is a problem." The doctor stated.
Jiang Long nodded thinking back to Bai Wei's strange behavior before. The doctor seemed to have more to say ,but was hesitant for a moment until Jiang Long persuaded him to continue.
"... We have reason to believe that he may have awakened as a profit due to the shock" the doctor continued.
"A profit?" Jiang Long questioned while straightening his back.
"Yes."
"How far is his foresight?"
"About three years, Sir. Additionally, his mind is still burdened by the new ability so he is in a fragile state. We suggest sending him home to let him recover."
Jiang Long thought for a moment before calling the Bai family's house phone and letting them know the situation so that they could come get him and bring him home for recovery. In the mean time, Jiang Long walked back into the room to observe Bai Wei some more.
In this world there were a small group of people who gained the ability to see the future for a short period of time. They made up 0.001% of the world's population and were regarded as something akin to superhero's by the general populace. These people are called profits.
However there were a few outstanding points in a profits awakening that Bai Wei didn't line up to. For example, most profits awaken between the ages of five and fifteen. For a profit to awaken so late in life as Bai Wei ,who is nineteen, is unheard of.
Additionally, a foresight of more than a year was extremely uncommon. Foresight is the amount of time that a profit is able to see into the future.
Jiang Long was almost sure Bai Wei was faking being a profit to get Jia Jinjing's attention. After all profits had a very high status due to their ability ,and Bai Wei had proven himself to be the type to do something so crazy in the past.
Jiang Long walked into the hospital room to see Bai Wei who had his eyes on himself from the moment he entered. Bai Wei had a clear and adoring gaze that Jiang Long had never seen on Bai Wei before which caused him to falter. Bai Wei seemed to notice this and quickly darted his eyes to the ground while showing a self-deprecating smile as he seemed to get lost in his own thoughts.
Suddenly, Bai Qing, Bai Wei's mother, burst into the room and made a beeline to her son who looked at her with surprise and delight. Bai Qing looked Bai Wei up and down and when she was certain he was safe she pulled him into a large hug, which Bai Wei returned quickly.
Jiang Long saw this scene and was about to leave quietly until Bai Dong and Bai Dayi entered the room. Bai Dong, who is Bai Wei's father, smiled at Bai Wei while Bai Dayi stood at the door without even looking at Bai Wei. At the sight of the two Bai Wei started shaking with fear and subconsciously reached out to touch Jiang Long, who looked at him with confusion at his movements.
Jiang Long knew that the first forty-eight hours after a profit wakes up their mental psyche will be very fragile and if not properly cared for it can cause the profit to suffer a mental collapse. With this in mind he was about to usher the Bai family outside so that he could talk to them about Bai Wei's awakening ,but stopped abruptly when something grabbed onto his hand.
Jiang Long looked down to a Bai Wei who was shaking and grasping onto his hand with both hands.
"Please don't leave" Bai Wei said while looking at Jiang Long as if he was his only lifeline.
