Chapter 122

Because She’s Pretty Cute (1)

The system felt that the tasks it gave were not wrong because it was impossible for the system to be wrong. Hence, it had to be somebody else’s fault.

Jiang Xiaoman was also not wrong; she earnestly tried to bully Yu Qingshi, but he wasn’t reacting.

His growth had been distorted.

He was no longer the villain who would seek revenge for the smallest of grievances, bargain for every penny, prioritize his personal profits, and whose mood was always changing. He was no longer that evil and cunning villain!

No matter how much Jiang Xiaoman teased him, he would not get angry, so why should she continue to bother him?

The system knew that Yu Qingshi’s route was a difficult one. Because it was Jiang Xiaoman’s system and not Yu Qingshi’s system, it could not interfere with his blackening process.

Therefore, the system had no choice but to give up on Yu Qingshi’s route halfway and allow him to grow freely.

The system wanted to focus on cultivating its own host instead.

“Host, starting from today, I will tell you a bedtime story every day,” the system said. “You have to take every word I say to heart.”

“......”

It could not be changed.

The system stubbornly said, “Host, don’t interrupt. Will you listen to the story? It has already been written and cannot be changed.”

“Why? Isn’t it all just a made-up story? Since it’s all made-up, why do you have to follow the author?”

“Because this is the ending that was written a long time ago.”

“Just because it has been written, is it necessarily the correct one?”

“...” The system didn’t know what to say, so it had to bluff and asked, “Do you want to listen or not?”

Of course, she still wanted to listen.

Xiaoman quickly stabilized her mood and obediently listened to the story.

Footnotes:

1. A character from a story by Lu Xun, a Chinese writer. She went insane and kept repeating the same story again and again.

2. The word here can mean met the enemy, but since the context isn’t clear right now I’m using the more neutral meaning.
