Still Have This Side – Chapter 62

Hello, Madam Yi, I’ve come as promised.

Qiu Baiyu simply couldn’t believe what her ears had heard.

Why did Yi Wanyue’s mother also know about this matter?

Could it be that everyone in their family had a system, this was a family of systems?!

This information came too suddenly, causing Qiu Baiyu’s language system to become a complete mess.

She slowly turned her head to look at Yi Wanyue, raising an eyebrow in a puzzled gaze to show her confusion.

Yi Wanyue understood and smiled as she reminded, “I was only eight years old at the time.”

Eight years old, understanding nothing, still an age dependent on parents.

That night after the system appeared and greeted her, she abruptly opened her eyes.

Then—

“Mom—!”

She immediately ran down from the bed to find her mom.

“There’s someone talking in my room!”

Qiu Baiyu: “?”

Calling for mom when encountering something, such a reasonable development.

She couldn’t help but ask, “Then what?”

The system had no physical form, so Mother Yi bringing people into the room certainly wouldn’t find anything. Then how did she know her daughter had a system?

Could it be that she had one herself?

Just as she asked this, the hand holding hers was gently patted twice, and Yi Huayu’s voice fell by her ear: “Then her system came out personally to explain to us.”

Qiu Baiyu: “…Huh?”

She was dumbfounded.

“Can the system… come out?”

Yi Huayu looked at the child before her with smiling eyes, saying very lovingly, “Yes, it can.”

That night, she had just left her younger daughter’s room when she heard her calling out in panic. She turned around to see the child running out barefoot, fearfully throwing herself into her arms, saying there was someone in the room.

Her expression immediately became solemn, and she called for security personnel to search the room together.

Naturally, they found nothing.

Intuition told her that the matter wasn’t so simple.

Because she believed her child.

Her Aiyun and Wanyue were not children who would play such jokes on adults.

So she had the security personnel stand guard at her younger daughter’s room door, while she took the child back to her own room.

She held Yi Wanyue on her lap and asked her to describe what had happened.

Yi Wanyue curled up in her arms and told her everything in detail.

After listening, she gently furrowed her brow.

That voice had appeared suddenly, calling her child “little princess,” which perfectly matched their bedtime conversation. This actually seemed like something a child might imaginatively make up.

She asked, “Yueyue, are you sure you heard someone calling you?”

Her younger daughter nodded repeatedly, as if afraid she wouldn’t believe her.

After pondering, she chose to believe her child.

She hugged her younger daughter tightly and looked up at the quiet void. After a moment, she spoke, “I don’t know who you are or what your intentions are, but Wanyue is still a child. If you have something to say, come to me or talk to me. Don’t frighten her.”

The room was very quiet.

She waited for quite a while but didn’t hear the female voice her child had mentioned.

At this moment, the child in her arms hugged her tightly.

Her child fearfully said, “Mom, she’s speaking again!”

She quickly lowered her head and asked, “What did she say?”

Little Yi Wanyue looked up and said, “She said: ‘Your mom is quite trusting of you.'”

She: “?”

“Ask her if she can meet with mom,” she said with a solemn expression.

Little Yi Wanyue relayed word for word: “My mom asks if you can meet with her.”

It was quiet for a moment.

Little Yi Wanyue looked up: “Mom, she says she can.”

She added, “Tomorrow morning, she will visit our home.”

The next day, sure enough, a woman was standing at the entrance of the villa.

She was beautiful and tall, wearing sunglasses, with an extraordinary demeanor.

The wary and hesitant Yi Huayu looked at her through the door and heard her politely say, “Hello, Madam Yi, I’ve come as promised.”

The woman seemed to have great trust in her and explained everything to her without reservation.

The woman said this world was from a melodramatic novel and didn’t really exist, and her younger daughter was the female protagonist who would engage in various melodramatic and torturous romances with the male lead in the novel.

The woman herself didn’t belong to this world either, but her existence could give her child countless paths to choose from freely.

In other words, the woman would become her child’s guardian deity.

A guardian deity who could help her child avoid melodramatic plotlines and grow freely.

At the time, she was half-believing, half-doubting.

These things were too world-view shattering.

The woman wasn’t in a hurry: “You don’t have to just listen to me. In the future, you can see how I act.”

Words float on the surface; actions are the most real.

She didn’t speak, reserving judgment for now on these supernatural, perception-shattering matters.

At the same time, she was curious why the woman chose to appear and tell them.

She had the ability to hide in her child’s body, which meant that as long as she didn’t appear, no one would believe what the child said, and no one would discover her.

The woman, however, said: “Because you believe your child. You are a mother who loves and respects her child very much, and I trust my judgment.”

Parents who truly love their children can give them many precious memories.

At the same time, they also wish more than anyone for their children to live well, freely, and without constraints.

Yi Huayu loved Yi Wanyue, so she believed Yi Wanyue’s words without doubt and would handle this matter seriously, rather than perfunctorily dismissing her and telling her to go back to sleep.

Yi Wanyue was still young at this time. If she could get Yi Huayu’s support, the system’s work would be more convenient and easier.

Therefore, she came with the utmost sincerity—appearing in person as promised.

Thoughts returned to reality.

In the study, Yi Huayu smiled and said to Qiu Baiyu, “That’s how it happened.”

She looked at her and said, “The chair you’re sitting on now is exactly the one that Xiaoyue’s system administrator sat on back then.”

Qiu Baiyu couldn’t help but glance at the chair under her bottom, feeling incredibly bemused.

This chair had actually been sat on by two people who didn’t belong to this world.

She wasn’t the only stranger to this world after all.

Yi Huayu looked at Qiu Baiyu, her eyes full of smiles, extremely loving.

No matter where the person before her came from, to her, she was still a child, and this child was also her daughter’s friend.

“I never expected Miss Qiu to also have a system, and to become friends with my Xiaoyue. It’s wonderful, this way you’ll have another common topic to discuss.”

Common topic…

Qiu Baiyu found this perspective quite novel, directly sensing a gentle and optimistic spirit in Yi Huayu.

Yi Huayu didn’t avoid these things beyond her cognitive range like they were snakes and scorpions.

She was even happy that her daughter and her daughter’s friend both had systems, giving them another topic to discuss.

This attitude was truly wonderful.

Qiu Baiyu suddenly understood why Yi Wanyue was so open-minded about being just a novel character.

Because her mother was optimistic, because her mother gave her a lot of love, she also became very optimistic.

Living in such a family, children will all turn out well.

Yi Huayu continued, “Wanyue has told me about your situation. I’m very sorry for what you’ve been through. If you don’t mind, you can also consider our place as your own home.”

She had specifically set aside time today to meet this child who also possessed a system.

She had heard about this child’s story from her daughter, and she both sympathized with her and admired her.

To maintain a kind heart and not be corrupted by selfish desires and an evil system, she was truly a good child.

She was willing to extend the greatest kindness to this child.

Yi Wanyue looked at Qiu Baiyu with gentle eyes.

She was willing to share everything of hers with her.

Qiu Baiyu was overwhelmed by the kindness.

“Thank you…” she responded softly.

In this moment, she thought of the past again.

Her friends in the real world had also taken her home before, and their parents had said to her just like Yi Wanyue’s mother: Consider this place your home.

Regardless of which world it was, her friends had always brought her a lot of warmth.

She was unfortunate, yet also fortunate.

Afterwards, Yi Huayu took out a USB drive and handed it to Yi Wanyue.

“Here, the things you wanted, Mom has organized them all.”

Yi Wanyue accepted it with a smile: “Thank you, Mom.”

“Why don’t you stay for dinner today?” Yi Huayu added.

Qiu Baiyu remembered her agreement with Qiu Zimin and hesitated, “Madam Yi, I promised the child I’d pick her up at five… How about we have dinner next time?”

Yi Wanyue chimed in, “It’s alright, we can bring Xiaomin over to have dinner together.”

Yi Huayu nodded: “It’s no problem, you can bring her here for dinner.”

“It’s a good opportunity for me to see this child as well.”

She knew that the Jiang family’s son had a daughter, and she also knew that this child was the second-generation villain in the novel, with a vicious and tragic fate in the future.

And when her daughter wanted to help change this child’s fate, Qiu Baiyu appeared—she divorced Jiang Shen and took this child away, taking very good care of her.

She wanted to see this child who was being so well cared for.

Qiu Baiyu gently blinked her eyes, then agreed with a soft “Alright.”

Eating was eating, regardless of where. The Yi family didn’t mind, and neither did she, and Qiu Zimin would certainly be willing to come to Yi Wanyue’s house for dinner.

At this moment, the butler stood outside and knocked on the door, saying, “Madam Yi, the eldest young miss has returned.”

Yi Huayu was still smiling, her tone gentle and soft: “Aiyun is back.”

The three of them stood up and walked out of the study.

Yi Huayu had some work-related matters to discuss with her eldest daughter, so she walked a bit faster.

Qiu Baiyu and Yi Wanyue walked leisurely behind.

Qiu Baiyu watched Yi Huayu’s figure disappear around the corner and quietly asked Yi Wanyue, “Does your sister know…?”

Yi Wanyue understood and smiled, saying, “She knows everything.”

Qiu Baiyu understood.

This family indeed kept nothing hidden, and they trusted and respected each other. The atmosphere was truly wonderful. No wonder they could raise such an excellent and brilliant child as Yi Wanyue.

Following that, she remembered something else and asked, “Then, does your sister dislike Jiang Shen also because of your influence?”

“That’s not the case,” Yi Wanyue said. “Even without the system, my sister would still dislike him. You can consider this as… innate.”

Qiu Baiyu had a sudden realization.

What a good innate trait, as if she had a built-in radar for avoiding scumbags.

How wonderful, at least she won’t be deceived by these awful men for money or sex.

Yi Wanyue looked at the corridor ahead, faintly hearing the voices of her mother and sister talking. She thought of something and the corners of her lips turned up slightly: “Actually, my sister…”

“Hmm?”

Qiu Baiyu looked over curiously.

Yi Wanyue immediately smiled and shook her head: “Never mind, it’s nothing. I’ll tell you later.”

Qiu Baiyu: “?”

You really know how to keep people in suspense.
