CH 55

The weather in June is extremely hot and dry.

Youyou is lying on the bookstore counter, nibbling on ice cream little by little.

The sweet and creamy taste of the ice cream, mixed with a refreshing chill as it’s swallowed down, makes Youyou squint with enjoyment, improving her mood slightly.

Not too long ago, Bai Qu said that Su Ling was in danger, and he had to go find him. So, in this world, she was left alone again.

She had already completed her task, so she usually had nothing much to do all day. Thankfully, before Bai Qu left, he left her a lump sum of money so she could live comfortably as a couch potato.

The bookstore’s air conditioning is on, and the cold air is blowing about loudly.

Youyou is eating ice cream while watching cartoons.

Originally, this world tells the love story of Fu Shu and Qian Li.

But because of Fu Shu’s childhood sweetheart Su Rui’s rebirth, in the derivative plot, Fu Shu and Su Rui got married after falling in love.

Youyou’s target for this task is Fu Shu.

The girl whose body she possessed is named Qian Li.

Qian Li and Fu Shu were classmates in college, and it was Fu Shu who pursued Qian Li first. When Youyou had just arrived, Qian Li and Fu Shu had not yet met.

Due to Xi Xi’s warning about Fu Shu, cautioning her to be careful around her, Youyou has been very cautious in her interactions with Fu Shu.

From college to graduation, she and Fu Shu became a couple, and she raised her favorability towards her to eighty-six. At that point, Fu Shu’s mother found her and handed her a check, asking her to leave Fu Shu, claiming that she was not worthy of her in any way.

Not knowing what to do, she panicked. Thankfully, Bai Qu appeared at that point.

Youyou didn’t understand why Bai Qu disliked Fu Shu so much, but given the choice between the two, she naturally sided with Bai Qu.

Moreover, Fu Shu’s mother bullied her.

Bai Qu assured her not to worry about the mission; he would take care of it.

Youyou believed him.

Because in her eyes, Bai Qu was omnipotent.

Bai Qu forbade her from meeting Fu Shu, instructing her to break up with her over the phone. She complied, especially since Bai Qu’s expression at that time was grim, as if there were some deep-seated hatred between Fu Shu and him, an irreconcilable conflict.

Later, she didn’t know how Bai Qu did it, but Fu Shu’s favorability towards her increased every day. Before long, the mission of winning over Fu Shu was accomplished.

Her feelings towards the task target of this world, Fu Shu, were extremely complicated.

Even though Fu Shu was extremely fond of her, she was terrified of her.

She often imagined her as a great demon king.

With the mission completed, she was no longer bound by the novel’s plot. So, even when Bai Qu wasn’t around, Youyou never considered what to do about Fu Shu and Su Rui.

She changed her phone number and moved to a new place.

Youyou decided to stay in this small bookstore. When she got tired of it, she would sell the shop or rent it to someone else, which had been Xixi’s idea.

Finishing the ice cream in her hand, Youyou proceeded to go get another one fromthe freezer. After all, without Bai Qu around to restrain her, Youyou’s lack of discipline and ambition were fully evident.

[Host, you can only eat this one more time today.]

‘Understood, Xixi.’

Her gaze shifted from the phone screen to outside the glass door. The road was deserted, a narrow and clean asphalt road, slightly softened by the sun, shimmering with a watery luster.

Across the road was a high school, and judging by the time, it was almost noon, which was the time when school let out. Youyou thought for a moment and then moved from behind the counter to in front, making room for someone.

Sure enough, just as Youyou finished her ice cream,

The school bell rang as expected.

Before long, a neat-looking girl with a ponytail, dressed in a school uniform, was the first to step into the bookstore. She walked to the counter and glanced at the trash can.

“Did you sneakily eat ice cream again?”

Suo Duo was very displeased. She was saved by Bai Qu and Youyou and sincerely wanted to repay them. However, this person was like a child, even more immature than her.

She frowned and stared at Youyou, who had recently gained some weight. Her originally slender face had become rounder, and Suo Duo’s rough features gradually turned sharp.

She looked extremely fierce and cold.

“I’m eating it openly.”

Murmuring this, Youyou took out her phone and opened the food delivery app. She asked Suo Duo, “What do you want for lunch today? Sour and spicy fish or spicy chicken?” Youyou’s recent hobby was to fatten up Suo Duo, this poor little thing. Anyway, Bai Qu left her with plenty of money, and no matter how she spends it, she can’t spend it all.

“I want something light.”

Opening the system to test it out, it was clear that Bai Qu was very clever, and the system he set up was also very intelligent and straightforward.

The books displayed in the store are all the most popular online novels at present, which her classmates and schoolmates love to read. There are many people who come to read or borrow books at noon every day. If it weren’t for the superb system set up by Bai Qu, Youyou would have been tired of it long ago.

Before long, students poured into the store one after another.

Suo Duo familiarly placed the books to be returned one by one on the scanner, and the system automatically deducted the fees from the card, ensuring there were no omissions or errors.

When borrowing books, students had to show their library cards. Suo Duo efficiently handled everything, her heart feeling overjoyed at having escaped her desperate situation.

By the time the food delivery arrived, there were almost no customers left in the store.

Suo Duo served fish soup for the both of them, watching the girl enjoy her meal, and she couldn’t help but smile to herself.

The girl, dressed in a white top and black pants, was delicately fair-skinned. Even from the side, her profile was elegant and exquisite, reaching the pinnacle of beauty. In a quiet VIP ward, Fu Shu slowly flipped through the photos in her hand, her eyes brimming with emotions.

“Youyou, Qian Li.”

The names lingered on her tongue, finally spoken out. The man in the suit next to her stared incredulously at Fu Shu, his tone exaggerated: “Seriously? You still like that scumbag who abandoned you? Boss? You almost died in a car accident and still haven’t given up? It’s really not worth it, boss.”

Who is Fu Shu?

A powerful and iron-willed woman with enough wealth to rival a nation?

Is she really hanging from a useless crooked neck tree?1this phrase is often used metaphorically to express surprise or disbelief at someone’s actions or decisions that seem foolish or self-destructive.

If this gets out, how many people would be left speechless, regretting deeply?

“Boss, can you change the person you like? I think Su Rui is not bad. During the time you were in a coma after the car accident, she came to visit every day.”
