With the system, a troublesome third wheel, Xie Jinqiu’s confession plan was once again ruined.
When the system demanded, in a threatening tone, if he was planning a ‘rebellion’, Xie Jinqiu fell silent for a moment, his eyes becoming complicated.
He didn’t remember ever offending this brat?
And what about the ‘big brother, little brother’ thing…
What the hell was going on?!
Ning Chuchu couldn’t help but burst out laughing. She grabbed the system by the back of the collar and pulled him back. Then, with a teasing look in her eyes, she smiled at Xie Jinqiu.
“Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s go home.”
Xie Jinqiu suddenly came to his senses, a sense of loss welling up in his heart.
He hadn’t been able to confirm his relationship with Chuchu again.
But he maintained a calm demeanor and offered a considerate, “Okay, get some rest.”
Xie Jinqiu got out of the car and watched them leave. He didn’t drive away until the lights in Ning Chuchu’s house came on.
After returning home, the system swept away his previous drowsiness and began to roam the house.
“Where do I sleep?” The system asked excitedly.
Ning Chuchu, who never tired of teasing the system, chuckled, “Sleep? You’re overthinking it, little system!”
“Do you know how much you spent on food tonight?”
Ning Chuchu pinched his chubby cheeks, finding them particularly pleasant. She couldn’t help but rub them again.
“Cleaning for me all night, working as a laborer to pay off your debts!”
The system’s face flushed red, not knowing if it was from anger or Ning Chuchu’s kneading. His eyes widened, and he huffed, “No matter how much I eat, it’s not you who paid anyway!”
Tonight’s dinner was all paid for by that gullible Xie!
“Tsk, what do you know?” Ning Chuchu snorted.
“Even though Xie Jinqiu treated me to the meal, I owe him a favor. I’ll have to pay him back later.”
“So, in the end, you still owe me a debt, understand?”
Ning Chuchu teased, suppressing a laugh.
The system looked at her with an indescribable expression, rolling his eyes and saying, “You don’t really think I’m a child, do you?”
She was trying so hard to fool him. Did she really think that he was easy to fool?
After a while of laughing and joking, they were exhausted. Ning Chuchu took the system to the guest room, put him to bed, and quickly retired to her own room.
That night, they both slept soundly, waking up groggily at noon the next day.
Ever since she’d gotten a cooking buff from the jade bracelet, Ning Chuchu had fallen in love with cooking. So, after getting up, she didn’t take the system out to eat, but simply cooked a simple meal at home.
Originally, the system was still complaining about why they had to eat lunch at home instead of going out for hot pot, but after he put the food made by Ning Chuchu into his mouth, he said nothing and just buried his head in eating.
As Ning Chuchu savored the delicious food, she naturally thought of the jade bracelet, the victim of a crime.
She asked, “How’s that jade bracelet?”
The Yun family, mother and daughter, one gone mad in prison, the other lying on her deathbed. As for the jade bracelet, the culprit that caused the original novel’s plot to destabilize, no one knew what had happened to it.
Ning Chuchu knew only that the system had apprehended it, but had no idea what would happen next.
The system shoved a fried egg into his mouth and mumbled, “I’ve detained it.”
“Its mission to overthrow this world has failed. It must have been abandoned by its superiors. From now on, this world will continue to function safely, and the jade bracelet will be trapped in this world forever, at our mercy, hehe!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, the system’s eyes darted. His small, fleshy hand casually pointed at the table, and— A turtle appeared out of thin air.
“I’ve conjured this bastard. Take your anger out on it!” The system waved his hand with a flourish.
Ning Chuchu stared silently at the green-shelled turtle on the table, “…”
