Lu Huan named the little calico dog she picked up "Gun Gun," the same name as her silver shaded dog she used to have.

Gun Gun was only a few days old and couldn't poop on his own yet. Lu Huan couldn't watch over him 24 hours a day, and she didn't trust the family's servants to take care of him.

Lu Huan had no choice but to take Gun Gun to a pet shop near the school. When she saw the shop owner, she was amazed by his appearance.

The shop owner looked very young, probably around the same age as Lu Huan. Lu Huan felt it was a waste for her to open a pet shop here.

With a face like that, she should go into the entertainment industry and act; she'd be guaranteed to become a huge star.

The shop owner was used to Lu Huan's amazed look and asked with a smile what was the matter. Lu Huan explained her purpose and showed her the baby she was holding.

At the pet store, there happened to be an American Shorthair cat that had just given birth to five kittens.

Lu Huan was a little worried, "Won't the mother cat reject Gun Gun?"

"Little Walnut is very gentle." Little Walnut is the name the shop owner gave to the mother cat. "We can let the mother cat get used to Roll's scent first, and after she gradually accepts that Roll is her kitten, she will start licking Roll's fur!"

Little Walnut trusted the shop owner a lot. The shop owner first stroked her head, and the mother cat purred lazily.

Carefully cradling the kitten close to its mother, Little Walnut sniffed the kitten's scent.

Perhaps unable to smell her own scent, the mother cat bared her teeth and hissed. The shop owner quickly stroked the mother cat's head and smoothed her fur, saying, "Good girl, don't be fierce."

The kitten was startled by its mother's hiss and started to meow hoarsely. This immediately alarmed the mother cat, who hesitated for a moment before approaching the kitten. After sniffing it, she seemed to feel sorry for the kitten's pitiful cries, so she bit its neck and carried it into her den.

Gun Gun huddled together with several other kittens, burying its head in its mouth to nurse, its little paws instinctively kneading the milk.

The two people squatting in front of the mother cat both breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, the mother cat had accepted the panda.

To make it easier to stay in touch, Lu Huan added the pet shop owner as a WeChat friend.

Lu Huan introduced herself, and the pet shop owner said, "My name is Yan Shi."

When to speak?

Lu Huan had read the novel several times and clearly remembered every character in it.

Yan Shi appears to be the second male lead's kept mistress. Later, the second male lead falls for Ye Sangsang and dumps Yan Shi.

No wonder she's so good-looking!

Lu Huan snapped out of her daze and said, "Then I'll leave Gun Gun here with you for a few days, and I'll pick it up on Friday night."

Lu Huan was completely lost during the morning class, just like before.

After enduring the agonizing wait until get out of class ended, she immediately went to her advisor and submitted her application to change her major.

The counselor stared in disbelief, then raised her voice, "You want to change your major?"

Changing majors requires an exam, and Lu Huan hardly ever attends classes throughout the year, how could she possibly pass?

Lu Huan nodded firmly and confidently, "I want to study broadcasting."

Knowing Lu Huan's status as a young lady from a wealthy family, the counselor didn't say much. "I understand. You should focus on preparing for your exams!"

"Thank you, teacher."

As the counselor watched Lu Huan's departing figure, he couldn't help but sigh at how wonderful it was to be born into a wealthy family.

They can donate two buildings without hesitation, and now they can switch majors whenever they want. Even if they don't pass the exam, they can just spend some more money.

Lu Huan has been busy with her major transfer exams these past few days, spending all her time studying in the library.

Fortunately, I haven't forgotten what I learned back then, and I still remember some of it, which makes learning much easier.

Before I knew it, it was Friday.

Lu Huan left the library and headed straight for the pet store.

In the past few days, Lu Huan has also made time to visit the pet store to see the pandas.

The kitten has been drinking its mother's milk and has visibly grown a lot bigger.

It's become even fluffier and rounder.

Lu Huan patted the little guy's head, and Gun Gun barked again.

"Gungung, do you still remember your mother?"

Lu Huan would ask this question every time she came, afraid that Gun Gun would forget about her.

Yan Shi also prepared cat milk powder, cat bed, and other items for Gun Gun, intending to give them to Lu Huan for free.

Yan Shi wasn't short of money; she only opened the pet shop to pass the time. However, Lu Huan insisted on paying her, and she couldn't refuse. "Then give me three hundred yuan!"

Lu Huan transferred money to Yan Shi's WeChat account, leaving her account empty.

Speaking of which, the original owner of this body really spent money lavishly. In the novel, Lu Zhong and his wife gave her over 100,000 yuan in pocket money every month.

I just received my allowance at the beginning of the month, and now that it's only halfway through, I only have 1,000 yuan left in my account—no, I only have 700 yuan left!

Lu Huan sighed silently. She was no longer Lu Zhong and his wife's child, and she was too embarrassed to ask for money again.

Besides, she really doesn't have the habit of asking people for money.

She was born into a single-parent family and was raised by her mother with great difficulty. During high school, she spent less than 100 yuan a month living in the dormitory. When she went to college, she worked part-time to earn money. She was willing to do voice-over work for no matter how little money was offered.

Later, as he gradually became famous in the industry, his prices slowly increased. With more money in hand, he was even less likely to ask people for money.

The top floor of the Gu family's building.

The day after sending Lu Huan home, Gu Zhendong sent his secretary to investigate her identity.

The secretary was very efficient; she placed Lu Huan's information from the past twenty years on the boss's desk in just twenty minutes.

Gu Zhendong was busy with his project and temporarily put Lu Huan's matter out of his mind.

A few days later, he started having headaches and difficulty breathing again.

My first thought was to take painkillers, but then I heard a sweet and soft voice echoing in my ears.

That person's voice was his cure.

Tossing the painkillers aside, Gu Zhendong, as if possessed, opened the voice message Lu Huan had sent a few nights ago and listened to it.

"Dream on! I won't read it!"

However, hearing Lu Huan's voice this time did not relieve his headache.

Gu Zhendong asked Xiao Hao in his mind.

Why didn't it work this time?

— Xiao Hao's skeptical reply: Maybe the previous two times were just coincidences?

Were both coincidences?

He doesn't think so.

As soon as Lu Huan spoke, his headache and difficulty breathing gradually lessened until the pain was gone.

Xiao Hao couldn't figure it out either; it was just a system for issuing tasks and executing penalties.

Originally, Gu Zhendong could prolong his life by completing the tasks it issued, but now a strange girl has suddenly appeared who can cure the host's illness, which is beyond the scope of what a system can think of.

Could it be that it hasn't been upgraded?

No wonder it's been running slowly lately.

Xiao Hao has only been bound to two hosts. The previous one didn't listen to it and died not long after being bound. Gu Zhendong is its second host.

Their system upgrades based on the tasks completed by the bound host. It is currently a low-level system and is gradually upgrading by completing tasks.

The man listened to the short audio message several times, but it still had no effect whatsoever.

With no other option, he swallowed a painkiller with water.

The medicine worked quickly; the throbbing pain in his head lessened in about ten minutes. Gu Zhendong then noticed the information about Lu Huan lying to the side.

His gaze darkened, and he casually picked it up and flipped through it.

Kong Xun was a meticulous and thorough person, though he didn't know why his boss wanted to investigate a girl's information.

Lu Huan's birth date, blood type, the schools she attended from childhood to adulthood, and even her pursuit of Chu Jun were clearly written down.

Gu Zhendong recalled that night when Chu Jun said Lu Huan was his younger sister, scoffed lightly, and casually tossed the documents onto the table.

—What is today's task?

— Xiao Hao: Holding a woman's hand for more than a minute.

? ? ?

Gu Zhendong's face darkened, and his eyes became even more sinister.

Isn't this supposed to be a villain's self-rescue system? How did it suddenly involve women?

Are you kidding me?

—Xiao Hao: The task is randomly assigned from above. Please complete it as soon as possible, otherwise a penalty will be triggered.

And there are punishments...

Thinking of the punishment he received last time, he almost didn't wake up. The man pursed his lips, his expression becoming even more gloomy.

In the evening, Gu Zhendong had a dinner engagement.

Because of a headache, he didn't look well and sat there with a gloomy expression the whole time.

The point of eating is to have a good time, but with Gu Zhendong's gloomy face, the atmosphere was serious and silent, making it impossible to be happy.

Someone took advantage of the situation and arranged for a beautiful woman to be by Gu Zhendong's side.

The woman was dressed very sexily, with her shoulders half-exposed and wearing a heavy perfume.

The smell was so strong it made him feel nauseous and wanted to vomit. Gu Zhendong had a terrible headache, so he rubbed his temples and thought about the tasks issued by the system.

Holding a woman's hand?

Is this something a villain should do?!

The man sat down, emanating a gloomy aura, and everyone else fell silent.

I don't know what they said wrong, but they offended President Gu again.

One of the men winked at the beauty he had arranged, signaling her to toast Gu Zhendong.

The woman understood and picked up the wine bottle, stood up, bent down slightly and leaned closer to Gu Zhendong, saying in a sweet voice, "Mr. Gu, I'd like to offer you a toast."

Gu Zhendong is never short of sycophantic women, but unfortunately, he hasn't taken a liking to any of them yet.

The woman beside him is a case in point; she thought she could win him over because she was quite attractive.

The woman's voice was sickeningly sweet, but it sounded slightly grating.

The woman leaned closer, her hand brushing against his sleeve, and the strong scent of his perfume wafted into her nostrils.

Gu Zhendong had always disliked people getting close to him; a chilling aura condensed in his eyes as he coldly uttered two words, "Get out of my way!"

The woman was already afraid of Gu Zhendong. When the man yelled at her, the smile on her lips vanished, and her face turned pale when she met the coldness in his eyes.

Undeterred, she bit her red lips and pleaded coquettishly, "President Gu..."

Men are most susceptible to this kind of thing, but unfortunately Gu Zhendong is no ordinary man.

Huo got up and walked outside.

The people left in the room were dumbfounded, looking at each other in disbelief.

The driver received the message and waited downstairs.

After getting into the car, Gu Zhendong took off the coat that the woman had touched and threw it to Kong Xun.

Gu Zhendong closed his eyes to rest along the way.

— Xiao Hao kindly reminds you: Host, it's already 11:55 PM, and you haven't completed your task yet!

Gu Zhendong pursed his thin lips, ignoring the system's warning.

As Gu Zhendong stepped out of the car at the apartment building, the alarm began to ring in his ears.

—Xiao Hao: Countdown over, mission failed, punishment begins!

As Xiao Hao ruthlessly declared his mission a failure, the man's vision went black, and all his strength was drained, causing him to collapse to the ground.

The anxious and worried voice of Kong Xun reached his ears, "President Gu..."

Before Gu Zhendong lost consciousness, the name of that person appeared in his mind.
