Xiang Yi kept a straight face and said, "Oh, so that's how it is."
The system was confused.
'I'm so infuriated. This is going to be the death of me!'
Although it had a high authority as a system, it had to follow the basic rules of logic.
For example, if the host asks to block the system or mute it, it would have no choice but to be furious deep down unless it's a special situation or the host takes the initiative to summon it.
"...'' The system was speechless for a while before it said aggressively, "Ten fairy tales from different realms have been downloaded for you. Loading... loading complete ."
Xiang Yi was no stranger to receiving information, and soon, ten fairy tales appeared in her mind out of thin air.
It had to be said that the system was quite reliable. The fairytales it found for her were more suitable for children as they were cute and heartwarming, devoid of any gory scenes that involved children being eaten or humans turning into zombies.
"Thank you, good job."
When they heard Xiang Yi's gentle, soft and polite voice, the system couldn't help but roll around in the data.
It had served several hosts before but they were all...
In particular, Ling Ye would lie to it. In short, Xiang Yi was worlds apart from them.
'The new host is so good, she knows to thank me~'
The system was basking in glee when it heard Xiang Yi saying the cruelest words in the gentlest tone of voice. "Continue blocking the system. Thank you."
The system was speechless.
'Is this what the netizens mean by short-lived happiness that won't last over three seconds?'
'Why!?! Am I not professional enough? Am I not good enough? I'm clearly countless times better than that fool Xiao Naofu!'
'Am I... not as cute as Xiao Naofu!?'
No...!
There was a violent fluctuation in the frequency of the data stream, and it took a long time for it to regain its calmness.
...
After testing the system, Xiang Yi probably had an idea.
As far as she knew at present, the completion of the so-called "task" issued by the system was not mandatory. In fact, the system might even take the initiative to give her a way out.
In the past, Xiao Naofu used to be really close to her but due to the rules, she would be punished if she failed to complete tasks.
However, after the punishment, Xiao Naofu would cry miserably.
In addition, the system's tolerance for her was definitely not normal.
It was as if... It was not in a hurry for Xiang Yi to complete her mission in this world...
The appearance of Shi Yu interrupted Xiang Yi's thoughts.
"Sister." The little boy's voice was clear and its young, round black eyes had soft contours. However, there was an upward arch at the end of its eyes, which were quite similar to Shi Sui's. She reckoned that when he grows up, he would probably also have deep-set and loving peach-blossom-shaped eyes like Shi Sui.
He changed into his blue and white checkered pajamas, which were made of cotton fabric. Xiang Yi found it very familiar.
"Or do you want to sit over there and listen to the story? When you get sleepy, you can sleep." Xiang Yi pointed to the direction where the floor-to-ceiling window was located.
This room was facing a good direction. At this moment, the sun was shining brightly and the green curtain was pulled open, leaving a layer of lilac lace curtains. Light shone into the room.
When the wind blew, the light seemed to jump.
There was a row of tatami mats on the floor, a soft beanbag, and a number of pillows.
Shi Yu clenched his small fist, resisted the temptation, and said seriously, "Sis, I'll just lie down on the bed to listen."
"But..." Xiang Yi smiled and said, "I want to tell you a story by the window."
There was obvious joy in Shi Yu's eyes but he restrained them very well. Or so he thought.
"Well then, the least a gentleman could do is to not put a lady in a difficult spot," he said with a sullen expression on his little face.
