The cold voice of the system sounded in her mind.
[The host made another wrong choice.]
“System, the path you planned for me is the one you think is feasible, but I also have my own path to follow.”
The system was silent for a moment.
[This was planned by the algorithm. The algorithm never makes mistakes.]
Shutong: “…”
Why did she feel that it seemed a little aggrieved?
Was it because she was too disobedient?
System: […] I don’t want this disobedient host at all.
Shutong: “…”
A silence fell between the host and the system.
Shutong walked to the balcony, opened the window, and dispersed the perfume that filled the room.
That day, Shutong still stayed at home and was busy making baby clothes.
On average, one set costs 600 yuan, so after she gets it, she won’t have to be so tight on money this month.
Although she doesn’t go out, trouble still haunts her.
That evening, Shutong called a courier to deliver the three sets of baby clothes she had made that day. When she was about to remind the customer on Weibo, she saw a dense stream of private messages.
She was on the trending search again.
The marketing accounts that initially broke the news that Shutong had interfered in the relationship between Qu Yiming and Gu Qingqing ‘accidentally’ blurted out during a live broadcast that the whole thing was actually directed and acted by Shutong herself, saying that they had only taken her money to do the job.
When the onlookers heard this, they immediately exploded. They were so sympathetic and indignant for Shen Shutong, who was bullied by the capital, but it turned out that all this was a marketing scheme orchestrated by her.
Even passersby were disgusted when they saw it, not to mention the netizens who had been watching the show these days. They just felt that they were deceived by Shutong!
“If she really directed and acted in this, then I can only say that she is incredibly scheming, treating netizens like monkeys!”
“People these days will do anything to become internet celebrities. Isn’t she afraid of offending Tianyu Group? The country should crack down on these outrageous actions!”
“This is clearly a hype tactic. Look at how many followers she’s gained in the past few days! She should start accepting ads soon! I’ve unfollowed her! It’s disgusting!”
“A clean Weibo account doesn’t mean a person’s heart is clean. It’s just a persona. Didn’t she say she was going to divorce Ji Chu? I sympathize with Ji Chu! He provoked such a shameless woman!”
“This reversal is so unexpected! This scheming woman is disgusting! I suggest she be banned online!”
…
Most netizens simply follow the crowd, parroting what others say without thinking deeply. They were swayed by public opinion.
The system seriously reported the online dynamics to Shutong, but Shutong ignored it.
She sat in front of the desktop computer and refined the details of the Lolita skirt. She didn’t have much fabric prepared at home, so she probably had to go to the fabric market again.
[Host—]
“Oops, I forgot to save!” Shutong suddenly exclaimed, holding the computer screen.
The system’s voice was interrupted.
After the power outage, the whole world became dark. Noisy voices could be heard outside the house, all discussing the sudden darkness.
After Shutong screamed, she couldn’t see anything in front of her and became even more panicked.
“Ji Chu!”
She shouted subconsciously.
Then, realizing she was alone in the house, she called out again, “System?”
[Host, I’m here.]
The system’s voice was still cold, but at that moment, it made her feel a little more at ease.
Shutong reached out to touch the LED light, but couldn’t find it for a long time. She was so nervous that a cold sweat began to form on her forehead.
Today was the Ghost Festival, right?
She was home alone, and there was a power outage. She had never encountered anything like this before, and she was terrified just thinking about it. She never knew if a ghost would pop out from any corner…
But the next second, the LED light in the closet lit up.
“Huh?”
Shutong was stunned for a moment, and then she thought of a possibility.
She stood on tiptoe, took down the lamp, and placed it on the table. Seeing the light illuminating the surrounding area, she muttered, “System, I don’t hate you anymore today.”
The system ignored her.
After a long while, Shutong climbed onto the bed and wrapped herself in the quilt before hearing the system’s cold voice.
[There are no ghosts in this world.]
Shutong: “Oh.”
She also turned on the light on her mobile phone, illuminating the room brightly, and only then did she feel at ease.
System: […]
“System, can you sing a song for me?” Shutong asked.
She kept talking to the system, and it only occasionally hummed.
In order to save battery, she turned off the light on her phone, took out another phone from under her pillow, and logged into her secondary Weibo account to check the situation.
