TSFLIP Chapter 126

The system suddenly entered a dormant state without any prior warning, and it didn’t mention when it would wake up again. Although Fengguang completed most of her past tasks relying on her abilities, she did benefit from the system occasionally giving her a boost. But now, it was clear—she truly had to rely on herself.

As time slowly passed, the news criticizing Fengguang gradually lost its intensity. In reality, the media, who had camped out for several days hoping to interview her, eventually shifted their attention to other entertainment stories when they couldn’t get ahold of her. They had underestimated Fengguang’s homebody nature, thinking that after ten days or so, she would surely show up. Little did they know, she really wouldn’t. She spent her days holed up in the Xia family’s villa, living a lazy, carefree life.

When it comes to staying home, Fengguang has never met her match.

The weekend arrived, and after a long absence, Xia Tian came over to stay with Fengguang for two days, chauffeured by her driver. The moment Fengguang saw Xia Tian, she felt a headache coming on. The reason had to do with Xia Tian—this girl was just a bit too lively.

Xia Tian bore a 30-40% resemblance to Fengguang, and in just over a month, she would be turning eighteen. Her sweet, adorable face was always glowing with youthful energy, and her vibrant personality was contagious. However, Fengguang, being a hardcore otaku who only loved playing games and watching anime, felt out of sync with her. Unfortunately, Xia Tian was completely oblivious to this.

“Big sis, I want to check out your studio,” Xia Tian said, wrapping her arms around Fengguang’s arm.

Fengguang studied art, and Xia Tian had known since she was little that her sister was an excellent artist. Sadly, Fengguang rarely painted aside from doing assignments, which Xia Tian thought was such a waste of her talent!

Unable to shake her off, Fengguang had no choice but to take her to the studio. “I haven’t painted much lately, but feel free to look around.”

“Wow! This one is beautiful!” Xia Tian’s eyes were immediately drawn to a painting of a towering ancient tree, its vines crisscrossing and some even touching the ground. Between the branches and leaves, beams of moonlight peeked through the gaps. The overall tone of the painting was dark, but those beams of light were bright and pure, exuding warmth and gentleness despite the absence of the moon in the sky.

Xia Tian didn’t know much about art, but she knew she liked it.

Fengguang didn’t feel much about it. “If you like it, you can have it.”

“Really!?” Xia Tian was so excited that she kissed Fengguang. “Thanks, sis!”

Fengguang wiped the spit off her face. “Take it with you when you leave. Now that you’ve seen everything, let’s go.”

“Okay! Oh, by the way, I haven’t logged into the game in days. You have so many gaming pods—let me borrow one so I can go online and play.”

Fengguang herself hadn’t logged in for three days either. Xia Tian had been busy with school, but Fengguang…well, the moment she thought about that person, she got angry!

Seeing Fengguang remain silent for a while, Xia Tian asked, “What’s wrong?”

With Xia Tian here, Fengguang suddenly had an idea. Stroking her chin, her eyes gleamed. “Nothing, I just thought of something. You go online first, and check if there’s anyone in the Poison Mist Forest.”

“Why?”

Feeling guilty, Fengguang raised her voice and pretended to be annoyed. “Why are you asking so many questions? You took my painting, I’m lending you my gaming pod, and now you can’t even do this tiny favor for me?”

“Fengguang, you’re so weird.” Whenever Xia Tian felt that Fengguang was being unreasonable, she’d start calling her by her name instead of “sis.”

Fengguang tapped her on the head. “Just tell me, are you going to help me check the Poison Mist Forest or not?”

Rubbing her head where she’d been tapped, Xia Tian pouted. “I’ll help, of course. After all, you’re my sister.”
