Do you want to live with me?
Qiu Baiyu was helped onto the sofa.
After settling down, she gently pulled Qiu Zimin into her arms, softly stroking her hair to comfort her: “Auntie really is fine, and isn’t sick. Auntie was just playing earlier.”
Tears were already forming in the corners of Qiu Zimin’s eyes: “Really?”
Qiu Baiyu nodded: “Really.”
“Don’t you remember? Didn’t Auntie go to the hospital for a full-body check-up not long ago, and didn’t the doctor say Auntie is very healthy?”
Qiu Zimin rubbed her eyes and nodded slightly.
She remembered that day.
Grandpa and Grandma had pushed Auntie down, and Auntie went to the hospital for a check-up. The medical expenses were even paid by Grandpa and Grandma.
The doctor said her Auntie wasn’t sick and was very healthy.
She always remembered that.
“Were you really practicing creepy crawling just now…?”
She had seen this meme online before, but she never imagined her auntie would actually give her a live performance.
Auntie even said she would crawl like that in the future to scare people who annoyed her.
Never mind the future, it had already given her quite a fright now.
Qiu Baiyu couldn’t help but laugh after hearing this question.
She laughed helplessly at her own improvised skill, and also laughed at the absurdity of this system.
She patted the child’s back and said softly: “Anyway, Auntie is fine, don’t worry.”
Qiu Zimin asked again: “Then why did your phone fall to the ground?”
“Auntie, did you intentionally drop your phone? Is this also part of your grand plan to scare people to death…?”
Qiu Baiyu: “…”
“No,” she said, “I just didn’t hold the phone firmly, and it fell to the ground.”
After hearing this, Qiu Zimin still couldn’t help but hug Qiu Baiyu, burying her face in her neck: “Auntie, next time don’t suddenly do these things. Please tell me first, I’ll be scared…”
“Alright, Auntie will definitely be more careful in the future. Don’t be afraid now, be good.”
Qiu Baiyu sighed inwardly.
This dog system was really causing a lot of trouble.
After comforting Qiu Zimin, Qiu Baiyu realized that her other hand was still holding Yi Wanyue’s hand.
Their hands were tightly clasped and hadn’t let go.
Yi Wanyue was sitting beside her, watching her the whole time, not going anywhere.
She looked at Yi Wanyue, and in the face of the other’s worried gaze, she gently squeezed their intertwined hands, her fingertips tenderly brushing over Yi Wanyue’s hand. She spoke in a gentle voice to reassure: “Everything’s fine now, it’s all okay.”
Qiu Zimin was frightened, and Yi Wanyue was scared too.
The two people who cared about her most in this world were always by her side.
This punishment came even more suddenly, not giving her time to find cover.
The only thing worth being thankful for was that Yi Wanyue was here, and she acted quickly to interfere. Now the punishment function was sputtering and buzzing, unable to embarrass her further. She only needed to wait for the punishment function to end.
After calming down, she could hardly imagine what would have happened if Yi Wanyue wasn’t here.
Qiu Zimin would definitely have been scared to tears, right?
And she might still have been trapped in the punishment, unable to comfort Qiu Zimin in time.
In a while, the aunt would come, and by then, the scene would probably be even more unbearably dramatic.
The more Qiu Baiyu thought about it, the more intolerable it became.
Dog system, it couldn’t be indulged any longer!
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
She looked at Yi Wanyue, and an extremely bold idea formed in her mind.
The aunt is busy preparing dinner in the kitchen.
Xiaomin is watching television in the living room.
Qiu Baiyu and Yi Wanyue are in the master bedroom, discussing important matters.
Qiu Baiyu closes the door, turns to face Yi Wanyue in the continuous buzzing sound of electricity.
“Wanyue, I have a bold idea.”
Yi Wanyue says: “I also have a bold idea.”
The two look at each other face to face.
As their four eyes meet, the two have a sudden inspiration, reaching an unspoken understanding.
Yi Wanyue says: “What we’re thinking is probably the same thing.”
Qiu Baiyu says: “You say it first and let’s see.”
Yi Wanyue doesn’t hide at all:
“Think of a way to get rid of your system.”
This system is too much of a nuisance, and it’s very unfriendly to them.
With this system in place, they can’t talk and be together freely, and Qiu Baiyu would even be punished, enduring torment.
Today it’s fine because they’re at home, but if they were outside it would be even worse, so what’s the point of keeping such a system?
Since it’s a hidden danger, it should be eliminated.
The light in Qiu Baiyu’s eyes brightens slightly, the corners of her lips lifting gently: “I think so too.”
She’s very happy that Yi Wanyue’s thoughts often align with hers without prior discussion.
Every time after the punishment function is turned off, the conditions for the next punishment are reduced.
Just now, the punishment conditions have already been reduced from fifteen tasks to ten.
This also means that the next punishment will come faster, meaning that one day it will be reduced to being punished for failing just one task.
How can she live then?
Doing tasks is impossible.
The tasks issued by the system not only target Qiu Zimin, but also Yi Wanyue, Lan Xin, Qi Ling and the male lead, targeting all related characters, how could she possibly run in front of them and act crazy for no reason?
Moreover, it’s absolutely impossible for her to corrupt Qiu Zimin.
Even if she dies, it’s impossible!
Rather than waiting for death, it’s better to take the initiative and attack, to take down the system!
“Can your system take down other systems, or… invade?”
Qiu Baiyu looks at Yi Wanyue with eyes full of expectation.
Whether it’s taking down or invading, as long as it can let her get rid of this stupid and overbearing system, it’s fine.
Yi Wanyue didn’t respond immediately, after being quiet for a while, she smiled reassuringly and relayed: “She says it’s possible.
“She’s willing to try to invade your system, to make your system invalid.”
The expectation in Qiu Baiyu’s eyes brightened even more.
Yi Wanyue continued: “However, the invasion needs time, needs to be done step by step, can’t be accomplished in one go, and we need to prevent being detected by your system, it’s not a simple matter. Also…”
As she spoke, her brows furrowed, and her eyes looking at Qiu Baiyu were full of worry and sympathy: “You will feel pain.”
“Where will it hurt?”
“Your head.”
“Will it still hurt after the invasion is successful?”
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
“No, only during this process will it hurt, when the two systems are in conflict, you as the main carrier will inevitably be affected.”
“Oh, so that’s how it is…”
“But she says she can control the invasion time, will only attempt to infiltrate after getting your permission, won’t proceed abruptly, this way you’ll have time to deal with your headache.”
Yi Wanyue relays the system’s words word by word.
After finishing relaying the system’s words, she reaches out to hold Qiu Baiyu’s hand, eyes full of worry, emotions complex: “Baiyu…”
She both wants to help Qiu Baiyu get rid of the vicious female supporting character system, and is reluctant to let her be tormented by headaches.
Who could bear to watch their beloved suffer?
Qiu Baiyu grips her hand in return, fixes her gaze on her, and also seems to be looking through her at her system.
“Let’s do it this way.”
Without hesitation, utterly determined.
What does a headache count for?
Endure for a moment and all will be calm, she just needs to get through it.
This is much better than the system that keeps reducing punishment conditions, and might start punishing her every day at some point.
Moreover, she doesn’t want to endure the failure panel constantly popping up in front of her anymore, nor does she want to only be able to talk freely with Yi Wanyue when the shield is on — she wants freedom, more freedom.
“About how long will it take to complete?”
“It’s hard to say, she can only do her best to be faster.”
“That’s fine too, slow work yields fine products. Thank you, and thank her too. If you need my cooperation, just tell me.”
Yi Wanyue raises her hand, gently caressing Qiu Baiyu’s face with eyes full of sympathy.
She respects her choice, this is the best method for now, but she still feels heartache for all the suffering she has to endure.
Her Baiyu lost her parents at a young age, then passed away in a car accident at a young age after growing up, traversed to another world alone, with no relatives in sight.
And then she got stuck with such a vicious system, forcing her to do this and that, and punishing her if she doesn’t.
Her Baiyu has truly suffered too much…
Qiu Baiyu sees the gentleness and sympathy in her eyes, her heart softens, and she covers the back of Yi Wanyue’s hand with her palm: “Don’t worry, I can endure it.”
Suddenly she adds: “There’s one more thing.”
“What?”
“Xiaomin’s blackening progress bar hasn’t reset to zero yet, your system can’t see the blackening progress, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to see it either after she invades, so I want to continue this invasion plan after Xiaomin’s progress bar resets to zero.”
Yi Wanyue blinks her eyes, nods and responds: “You’re right.”
If the 0.5% isn’t completely eliminated, they can never be at ease.
After Yi Wanyue finishes speaking, she’s quiet for a while, seemingly listening to the system speak.
“It can be done simultaneously,” she suddenly says, “My system will find a way to infiltrate but not interfere with your system, your system will still function normally, until my system fully controls your system.”
Qiu Baiyu listens in amazement, saying: “Although I don’t quite understand how it operates, it sounds very technically sophisticated.”
She ponders briefly, and discovers another key point: “So you’re saying that during the infiltration process, my system will still issue tasks to me, and if I don’t do the tasks it will continue to punish me?”
Yi Wanyue says: “Yes.”
Qiu Baiyu asks again: “When I’m being punished, will your interference still be effective on my system?”
Yi Wanyue waits for a moment, then says: “Yes.”
“As long as it works, that’s fine.”
Qiu Baiyu has no more doubts.
Although she’ll have a headache, as long as she can get rid of this system, she can endure it.
“If that’s the case,” Yi Wanyue looks steadily into her eyes, “do you want to live with me?”
Qiu Baiyu: “?”
She frowns in confusion: “Aren’t we already living together?”
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
Yi Wanyue smiles a little, shakes her head, and says: “I mean… long-term, cohabitation.”
“Move to my home, no matter what happens, I can activate the shield interference in time when I’m by your side.
“There’s a piano at home, I can also teach Xiaomin piano along the way, and it saves you from driving back and forth.
“Also, when we’re together, we can research how to eliminate this 0.5% together, more people means more strength, right?
“So, are you willing to move in and live with me?”
Her voice is very gentle, so gentle that it’s as if she’s proposing, asking if she’s willing to spend a lifetime with her.
Unexpected yet making one hopeful.
After the metaphor of “proposal” popped up in Qiu Baiyu’s mind, she instantly came to her senses, feeling terribly absurd.
Love indeed makes people fantasize.
But she still agreed —
“Okay, I’m willing.”
Since falling in love with Yi Wanyue, she had long forgotten how to refuse Yi Wanyue.
Yi Wanyue was so happy her eyes curved into crescent moons.
She finally doesn’t need to find excuses to stay over anymore.
