After Lin Shi finished speaking, Su Jin stood up strangely, "Oh, I was just kidding, my dear."

Luo Feifei seemed to breathe a sigh of relief; if she hadn't, Su Jin would have really suspected that she would suffocate herself.

Meng Guangjun smoothed things over, saying, "Alright, alright, everyone go find something to eat. We've been starving all day. Let's meet here in a bit."

Once they left, Su Jin pulled Lin Shi and headed deeper into the forest.

Lin Shi looked on in surprise and doubt. "What are you doing? Are you trying to silence me? Big Socks, I didn't do anything to you, did I?"

Su Jin covered the recording device, "Why are you telling the truth?"

"But don't worry, I will spare your life for now."

Lin Shi put on a treacherous smile, "Your Majesty is truly wise and mighty, bringing blessings to the world."

I sat down by a stream.

Su Jin, with a blade of grass dangling from her mouth, asked her, "Do you think there's such a thing as hatred without a reason in this world?"

Lin Shi was puzzled. "I don't think so. Why are you asking this?"

Su Jin's face was unusually serious. "Don't you think Luo Feifei has a kind of inexplicable hatred for me?"

"You're only finding out now?"

Lin Shi looked at her like she was an idiot. "You should be the last one to know about this. Isn't it obvious enough that she hates you?"

Su Jin is slow to understand matters of the heart, but if even she can sense the dislike, then it must be something extraordinary.

Su Jin: "...Never mind, I have my own rhythm."

Lin Shi: "Alright, tell me what your rhythm is."

Su Jin quietly covered her recording equipment and moved closer to her.

Seeing her serious expression, Lin Shi also unconsciously became nervous.

What is she trying to say?

Su Jin drawled, "Don't you think Luo Feifei might be a fake?"

Lin Shi almost fainted from anger. "I really shouldn't have expected you to say anything serious."

She really does learn from her mistakes.

Su Jin smiled and pulled Lin Shi back to sit down. "Don't go, don't go. Do you remember when I told you about my system?"

Lin Shi didn't know what to say. She considered herself a person with a strong ability to accept things, but compared to Su Jin, she was like a small fry compared to a big fish.

Sure enough, Su Jin continued with her shocking statement, "Don't you think she also has a system?"

"...like a divine scripture."

Su Jin clicked her tongue. "I'm serious!"

"Break as if you were guarding against it."

Su Jin held back her eye roll for a moment, "I'm really serious. We've known each other for ten years, when have you ever seen me this serious?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shi stared into Su Jin's eyes.

Su Jin immediately pledged her loyalty, saying, "Look into my eyes; you can't hide the love in someone's heart."

"But you have to keep your love for two people a secret."

Lin Shi looked at her meaningfully.

"......"

Suddenly, a sharp explosion erupted in Su Jin's mind.

"Aaaaaah! Host, what are you doing?! Didn't I tell you that you can't tell anyone about the system?!"

Su Jin calmly interrupted it, "Hey, that's not right. How can my best friend be considered a person?"

Driven to desperation, the system could only spin in circles, lamenting, "I haven't seen you for a moment, how did you manage to create such a huge hole in my body!"

Su Jin waved her hand, "Oh, if you don't tell and I don't tell, who will know? She's my best friend, how can she be considered a person?"

After saying that, she ignored the system crashing and shouting.

When she came to her senses, she saw Lin Shi staring at her with her mouth agape in disbelief.

"Who were you talking to just now? Was there a third person here besides us?"

Lin Shi looked around in horror, but there was nothing there except some birds and beasts.

"Talk to the system."

Lin Shi seemed to have been put on pause, and Su Jin reached out to shake her stiff body.

"Alas, I have already said that a ruler's word is law, how could I possibly lie to my beloved minister?"

Lin Shi, who was left looking dazed, patted her bottom and got up.

What are they saying?! I can't hear a thing.

I just heard Luo Feifei's name.

There are two types of people who can't sleep in the same bed (not really).

Realizing what was happening, Lin Shi quickly caught up with her. "What do you mean? Are you telling the truth?"

Su Jin's tone was flat, "That's right, otherwise why do you think I married Gu Xingze?"

"Isn't that because you're love-struck?"

Su Jin panicked and said that she couldn't be accused of being love-struck.

That was an insult to her dignity!

"Nonsense! I was forced into it! That damn system initially told me that my target was Gu Xingze, but a few months ago it told me I was wrong, and now I can't even get a divorce!"

Lin Shi was stunned; the amount of information was so overwhelming that she lost her ability to think.

Because there was no sound, Su Jin's animated explanation was presented in a completely different light to the audience.

[No...it's really funny. Are they talking badly about Luo Feifei? They don't seem like it.]

[Without sound, it's a bit like a concubine who's gone mad in the cold palace.]

I don't understand why everyone is criticizing her. She only did something wrong, and she didn't treat the right person.

You didn't let her off the hook either.

Lin Shi sorted out her thoughts, "So, what you said before wasn't nonsense, it was all true? Now the person you want to seduce is Shen Yanxiu?"

Su Jin nodded sincerely, "That's right. Don't tell anyone else about this. I'm only telling you."

"What will happen if you don't finish the walkthrough?"

Su Jin looked up at the sky, which was gray and still unclear after being washed by the rain.

"It said I would die."

Lin Shi jumped up, "What! This is simply alarmist!"

She asked cautiously, "So how will you die?"

"I don't know, and it won't tell me even when I ask it."

Lin Shi hugged her tightly and cried out, "You can't die before me! You're the only one in this world who understands me. If we're going to die, we'll die together!"

Su Jin struggled to pry Lin Shi's arm away and sighed, "I won't die, don't worry. My favorability rating is currently stuck at around twenty."

Lin Shi sniffed, frantically trying to find the right words, "Then, how can I help you? What about your husband? He refuses to divorce you."

Her eyes suddenly turned sinister, and she made a gesture across her neck, "Why don't we take him out?"

Now it was Su Jin's turn to be afraid.

"You mustn't, we can't do anything illegal."

Lin Shi withdrew that terrifying gaze and looked at her probingly, "What? You wouldn't happen to have fallen for him, would you?"
