Still Have This Side – Chapter 67
by Little PandaPunishment Level: Highest Level.
Yi Wanyue stayed at the Yi family until the afternoon.
There were still several tasks before Qiu Baiyu’s next punishment. As long as Qiu Baiyu stayed at home and did not interact with other characters, the system would not assign her tasks, and they wouldn’t need to worry about her being punished when she was not around.
Because of this, she could leave home without worry.
In the afternoon, Yi Aiyun returned.
After speaking with her mother for a while, she went with her sister to sit under the cool pavilion in the back garden.
Sunlight slanted down, falling at their feet.
Yi Wanyue leisurely stretched her feet into the light, then slowly pulled them back.
Yi Aiyun glanced at her movements, then turned to look at the flower trellis outside.
The dark black frame, clusters of red and green climbing up, bright and eye-catching.
“Did someone come to visit again this morning?” Yi Aiyun asked.
“Mm.” Yi Wanyue’s response was very concise.
“Did they come for you or for me?”
“For me.”
“Did Mom refuse?”
“Of course.”
“Good.”
They were completely accustomed to it, leaning back against the chair, indifferent to the visitors.
Because it was again about discussing marriage, either about the elder sister or the younger sister.
Their Yi family’s golden branch, families with sons always wanted to make a connection.
They had no interest in this.
Marriage has never been their life goal.
Fortunately, their mother thinks the same way.
With Yi Huayu refusing on their behalf, they naturally don’t need to worry about dealing with it.
Yi Aiyun leaned back against the chair, closed her eyes, tilted her head, and said gently, “It’s been a long time since I’ve just stayed like this, doing nothing.”
Yi Wanyue looked at her and said warmly, “Our President Yi has worked hard.”
Yi Aiyun opened her eyes, “Not hard, it’s worth it.”
As long as there is a reward for what is done, as long as the goal can be achieved, no matter how hard it is, it’s worth it.
Yi Aiyun turned to pick up the water cup on the table, “They have been living with you for some time now, is your plan going smoothly?”
The meaning of “they” was self-evident.
Yi Wanyue nodded, “Mm, everything is going smoothly, no surprises.”
Over the past few months, she and Qiu Baiyu have been researching Qiu Zimin’s 0.5% while coordinating with her system to implement the invasion, not neglecting either side.
When the 0.5% showed no signs of movement, the fact that the invasion plan went smoothly without surprises was the most reassuring thing for them.
Yi Aiyun said, “That’s good,” lowered her eyes to drink a sip of coffee from the cup, then put down the cup and asked with concern, “Is getting along still okay after living together?”
Mentioning Qiu Baiyu, Yi Wanyue couldn’t help but show a smile.
“It’s okay, all good, no problems.
“Xiaomin is a very well-behaved child, and our Baiyu is also a very easy-going person.”
“She really is very likable.”
Yi Wanyue said with a smile.
Yi Aiyun looked at the smile on her sister’s face, radiant, even happy.
A question she once asked surfaced again to her lips, ready to be spoken.
“You seem to like her more.”
Her sister used to frequently mention Miss Qiu, and now it’s even more often, smiling whenever she brings her up.
Praising her as good, praising her as interesting, her tone full of admiration, as if she were the most precious treasure in the world.
As her sister, intuition told her that this matter wasn’t simple.
When Yi Wanyue heard her sister say this, she curved her eyes, and honestly said, “Yes.”
Seeing her makes her happy, and she likes her more every day.
“What kind of liking do you have now?”
Yi Aiyun suddenly posed this question.
Yi Wanyue was taken aback by these words.
Although she knew her sister had always been direct, she didn’t expect her to ask so straightforwardly.
Last time, she was also asked very directly, but last time she denied it.
So what about this time?
Her feelings for Qiu Baiyu have been clear for a long time; she has nowhere to escape, nor does she want to deny this affection.
But when facing her family directly, does she still not want to deny it?
“โIt’s a liking related to love.”
She was still honest.
Yes, she didn’t want to deny it.
Even if not understood, she didn’t want to deny it.
Liking Qiu Baiyu is not a mistake; avoiding it, being afraid to face it, is.
Her sister and mother are precious family to her, and she is willing to share her heart’s flutter with them.
At the same time, she also hoped for their understanding and blessing.
Yi Aiyun raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression still very calm, as if she had expected it.
Then, she stood up and reached out to touch the top of her sister’s head.
“Very good, Miss Qiu is a nice person.”
Yi Wanyue watched her sister’s departing figure from the pavilion and smiled with curved eyes.
Qiu Baiyu stood silently in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Qiu Zimin was in class, Yi Wanyue had returned to the Yi family, and she was the only one left at home.
With nothing much to do, she poured herself a glass of juice and stood by the window, drinking while enjoying the view.
Yi Wanyue’s home is in a great location, city center, situated by the river, with ample natural light throughout the house.
During the day, you can see the sunlight spreading on the ground, like a glowing floor tile.
At night, you can sit by the window and enjoy the night view, doubling the sense of happiness.
Yi Wanyue said the night view is her happiness, and from now on, it is also her happiness.
She is always willing to share with her this window full of starry sky and the brilliantly lit city night view.
Qiu Baiyu remembered Yi Wanyue’s expression when she said these words, and couldn’t help but smile, with sweet honey bubbling in her heart.
It’s truly wonderful to be genuinely treated by someone you like.
She held the cup and turned away from the dazzling floor.
At that moment, a sudden “dingโ” sounded in her mind.
Her steps halted.
She remembered this sound; it was the system’s notification for important plot points, just like when Jiang Shen wanted a divorce, and the system had notified her like this.
What could this important plot be this time?
Could it still be about Jiang Shen?
Whatever it is, she really has no interest in that man.
ใDingโ
ใImportant plot hint: The female lead has triggered a love interest plot.ใ
Qiu Baiyu: “โฆ?”
She was momentarily stunned.
“???!!!”
What did she hear?
The female lead’s heart fluttering?
Yi Wanyue has someone she likes?!
In an instant, she remembered a message Yi Wanyue sent her this morning, saying that someone visited Yi Huayu again, wanting to propose a marriage alliance with their familyโฆ
Could it be that the person who made Yi Wanyue’s heart flutter is the child from this family?!
She initially thought it was a hint related to Jiang Shen, but never expected it to be about Yi Wanyue, and that it would be a prediction of her falling for someone elseโฆ
Qiu Baiyu was quite taken aback, her mind buzzing, turning into a tangled mess, leaving her thoughts in disarray, not knowing where to start unraveling them.
However, the system didn’t give her much time to react, as an icy warning followed: ใWarning, mission target progress reset to zeroโใ
Qiu Baiyu was stunned upon hearing this.
Mission target progress reset to zero?
Her mission target isโฆ Xiaomin?
Her blackening progress reset to zero?
What happened??
Qiu Baiyu was surprised and confused, and soon heard the system’s voice saying: ใMission target progress reset to zero, host mission failed.
ใDetected host’s negative attitude, extremely uncooperative with the system, leading to mission target progress reset to zero, therefore the consequences of this failure are borne by the host alone.ใ
Qiu Baiyu: “โฆ”
She listened expressionlessly as the system spouted nonsense.
The next second, the overbearing system suddenly took action.
ใPunishment Level: Highest Level.
ใTime: Two hours.
ใPunishment officially beginsโใ
Highest level?
Then what was it when it shocked her with electricity before?
Qiu Baiyu hadn’t even had time to voice her confusion before she suddenly widened her eyes.
“Crashโ!”
The glass cup suddenly fell to the ground, shattering into pieces with a piercing noise, the unfinished juice mixing with tiny shards of glass, reflecting Qiu Baiyu’s painful figure kneeling on the floor.
She clutched her head, eyes opened wide.
Pain, her head hurt so much, as if countless hammers were pounding on her skull, each blow heavier and more vicious than the last, seemingly intent on smashing her head to pieces before stopping.
This punishmentโฆ is indeed harsher than before.
The pain spilled from her lips, falling heavily to the ground.
Qiu Baiyu was in so much pain that she began to feel dazed, gradually unable to distinguish the scene before her or the blood under her palms.
Tiny shards of glass embedded in her flesh, her hands full of crimson, yet she couldn’t feel a thing.
The system’s overwhelming malice manifested on her body.
It was cold and aloof, like a vicious hand trying to tear her apart, forcing her to understand what she did wrong.
ใPlease remember this punishment.
ใPlease actively cooperate with the system’s work.ใ
The icy voice intertwined with the extreme pain, making it exceptionally malicious and piercing.
Qiu Baiyu curled up on the ground, one hand pressing tightly against her head, while the other, bloodied and torn, trembled as it reached for the phone on the nearby coffee table.
Wanyueโฆ
Wanyueโฆ
ใPlease remember this punishment.
ใPlease actively cooperate with the system’s work.ใ
The system continued to repeat coldly.
Cold sweat on Qiu Baiyu’s forehead increased, and the system’s voice made her more and more annoyed, both in pain and irritation.
She wanted to die, the pain made her want to die, to end it all.
But the one who truly deserves to die is someone elseโshe will not concede.
“Even if I dieโฆ I will notโฆ cooperate with youโฆ
“If you have the gutsโฆ just kill meโ!”
She never regretted saving Qiu Zimin.
Saving Qiu Zimin is also saving the person she was back then.
She is happier than anyone to see this child grow up healthy and happy.
Given another chance, she would still do the same.
Her grandmother was not someone to be trifled with and never bowed to anyone.
She is her grandmother’s child, and she cannot lose her grandmother’s face.
If this dog system has the guts, let it kill her today; otherwise, she will definitely show it what it means to be an unyielding force that even the king of heaven can’t budge!!!
ใPlease remember this punishment.
ใPlease actively cooperate with the system’s work.ใ
It kept repeating.
Qiu Baiyu simply closed her eyes and gritted her teeth to endure.
The sensation of pain was gradually intensifying, leaving her with even less attention for anything else. The sweat on her forehead increased, her clothes were soaked with cold sweat on her back, and the outstretched hand ultimately touched nothing.
Glass shards and juice mixed with blood lay silently on the ground.
ใPlease remember this punishment.
ใPlease actively cooperate with the system’s work.ใ
Qiu Baiyu began to clearly feel two forces rampaging inside her body, as if they wanted to tear her apart and break through her flesh.
ใPlease remember this punishment.
ใPlease actively cooperate with the system’s work.ใ
Even her breathing started to ache slightly.
Two hours, so longโฆ
ใPlease hostโฆ please host rememberโฆ this punishment.
ใPlease host actively cooโฆperate with the system.ใ
The rigid repetitive broadcast suddenly started to stutter.
Qiu Baiyu slowly opened her eyes.
ใPlease host remember this puโฆ
ใPleaseโฆ actively cooperateโฆใ
This time it was the voice that changed.
Heavy and sluggish, even distorted to the point where the articulation became unclear, as if it was malfunctioning.
In the deathly headache that felt like a death god urging her, Qiu Baiyu managed to spare a bit of attention, silently listening to the system’s voice.
ใPleaseโฆ
ใโฆhostโฆใ
ใโฆใ
ใโฆใ
The world began to become very quiet.
Three seconds, ten seconds, thirty secondsโฆ the broadcasting voice never sounded again.
Everything around suddenly fell into dead silence, the annoying system broadcast voice seemed to have never existed.
But her headache did not stop.
Her head still felt like it was being continuously twisted, the pain piercing, making even the simplest act of breathing fill her with fear.
Until she heard an electronic female voice:
ใSystem fully integrated.
ใAdministrator privileges successfully acquired.ใ
Immediately following, her body suddenly felt lighter, the mountain-like pressure of pain on her vanished without a trace.
ใPunishment function has been disabled.ใ
Hearing this sentence, she cautiously adjusted her breathing, no longer in pain.
She felt as if she had received a great pardon, her tense body suddenly relaxing, even the cold sweat dripping from her chin felt so light.
Finally, she collapsed on the ground, exhausted, her eyelids heavy, her consciousness teetering.
Before she passed out, she saw the door of her home suddenly open, and the person she liked appeared in her vision like a god descending from heaven, rushing towards her hurriedly.
She also heard a very clear, pleasant female voice in her ear.
That voice saidโ
ใHello Miss Qiu, youโve worked hard.
ใI am Wanyue’s system, my surname is Bai.
ใYou can call me, Bai Zhi.ใ
AHHHHHH BAlZHl
MY SHAYLAAAAA ๐ญ
OMG I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING- I didnt think that Bai Zhi from “outrageous” would show up. it’s great to see her and the male mommy still together out there fighting the evil systems
I expected this development tbh.
And next will be the confession cuz they’ll realize one of them can die at any moment and they just want to be happy now and not waste more time.
Wanyue will probably say it first.
Woah..? Is it the same Bai Zhi from outrageous?! Thank you for the chapter!
Pensรฉ lo mismo!!!
