When Yan Shuangxi chased after them, the movie was already nearing its end. By the time the four of them returned, the film would be over.

Despite missing some plot points earlier, everyone remained remarkably calm.

One is Yu Ci and Yu Ning, who are not interested in the movie at all; another is Yan Shuangxi, who has already seen a lot of spoilers online; and the third is Chaochao, who is just here for the fun of watching the movie without watching the plot.

Seeing the bright lights in the theater come on, Yu Ci thought for a moment and then took out the little dumpling's cartoon mask and put it on her.

Chaochao chewed on the gummy candy with her soft cheeks, her big eyes darting around, and she had no objection to her brother's actions.

Anyway, whatever my brother does is right.

When the movie ended and everyone walked out onto the street, it was already dark outside, with the lights shining brightly.

Chaochao waved goodbye to Yu Ning and the others, "Sister Yu and Sister Yan, bye-bye~~"

As Yan Shuangxi supported Yu Ning, she immediately placed her other free hand on her pounding heart and revealed a kind auntie smile.

Oh my, Chaochao is saying goodbye to her.

Yu Ning glanced at her deskmate, who had a perverted grin on his face, and said, "..."

She turned her head and glanced at the mask covering half of the little boy's face. A hint of doubt arose in her heart, but it was dispelled by the gentle night breeze before it could linger for even a second.

They were probably worried about catching a cold from the wind at night.

It could also be due to willow catkins floating in the air.

Several reasons flashed through Yu Ning's mind in an instant, fully justifying Xiao Tuanzi's behavior.

The girl standing in the evening breeze had her hair swaying, and her peach-petal-like eyes curved slightly. She looked at Yu Ning and smiled at her, saying, "Thank you, little master."

What little master?

Chaochao tilted her head, not understanding.

Watching the two young ladies walk further and further away, the unpredictable little dumpling suddenly seemed to realize something and touched her eyes with a slightly worried expression.

Seeing this, Yu Ci, who had been keeping a close eye on Chaochao, smiled knowingly. She had brought Chaochao to the movies today under the guise of celebrating the little girl's removal of the dark circles curse, but it was clear she hadn't yet shaken off the lingering shadow of those circles.

Then, as Chaochao touched her face, she heard Yu Ci, who was quiet beside her, suddenly say, "It's dark."

Chaochao turned her head and glared: "!!!"

What did you say was black?!

I hurriedly went to the one-way glass of the building and nervously pried open my lower eyelids to check. Where were the dark circles?

The man in the suit, who was elegantly dining inside, put down his knife and fork, picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of a grotesque face pasted on the window: "..."

The last bite of steak was stuck in my throat, neither going up nor down.

Chaochao, who had searched high and low and even checked her forehead but couldn't find any dark circles under her eyes, looked at Yu Ci, who had spoken earlier, with great confusion.

The boy raised an eyebrow, feigning ignorance, and said, "I said it's getting dark."

Chaochao: "...?"

Yu Ci couldn't help but chuckle, turning her head slightly away and bursting into laughter.

Chaochao: "...??"

On the way home, 050 kept nagging and complaining in Yu Ning's mind: "You didn't seize such a good opportunity to get close to the second male lead. I really don't know what you're always playing with that kid. If you ask me, you should... Ahhh! Stop! Stop! I'm not saying anything more! Stop singing!"

Only after the incessant, annoying noise finally disappeared did Yu Ning stop the off-key, corny medley of catchy tunes playing in her mind.

The temporarily silent 050 had the illusion that it had been given a second chance at life. Submitting to Yu Ning's tyranny, it had no choice but to lie low for the time being, but before disappearing, it couldn't help but mutter something under its breath.

Why did we have to let it end up with a host that hates doing tasks and is full of rebellious tendencies?

However, what 050 didn't notice at this moment was that there were wisps of invisible fluctuations in the air, following Yu Ning, or more accurately, following the 050 system, back to Yu Ning's home.

Ever since 050 appeared, Xiaoqi has been secretly following, ah, I mean investigating its fluctuations for a long time. These days, it has been staying up late studying professional knowledge and mobilizing system energy, and now it is gradually making progress. It can finally catch snippets of conversations from external systems, such as "tasks".

In the script Xiaoqi received, Yu Ning was the female lead of this transmigration novel, but in reality, she was also bound to a system, or rather, she transmigrated into the book by chance because of the system binding, which was not mentioned in the original work.

The system thought of Yu Ning's 50% corruption value that it had heard about a few days ago. Since the original female lead transmigrated into the book from reality, the root cause of her corruption was probably her experience in the original world.

...How can we proceed then? It has no idea what the female lead went through... Waaaaah...

Wait, perhaps another reason lies with that 050 system. Although it didn't overhear much, its arrogant and irritating tone perfectly matched Xiao Qi's stereotypical impression of unofficial systems as barbaric, vulgar, and vicious.

Who knows, the female protagonist might be persecuted by it?

Xiaoqi thought it was very likely.

The system, which was preparing to infiltrate the enemy camp at night, thought it best to inform Chaochao Baby before heading out, lest it lose track of the system again like last time.

"I'm going out tonight, so call me if you need anything urgent."

That way it can hear it too.

Chaochao, who was washing up in front of the mirror, asked with foam in her mouth, "Xiaoqi, where are you going?"

A look of worry appeared in her eyes; this was the first time Xiaoqi had ever said she wanted to go on a long trip.

"I..." the system thought for a moment, then said solemnly, "I'm going to fight monsters."

Chaochao was immediately filled with respect, but then cautiously asked, "Xiaoqi, can you beat it? Will you get hurt?"

The system was quite confident, mimicking Chaochao's proud and upright posture: "Don't worry, Chaochao, I'm much better than it!"

It's a high-level, high-dimensional system, using the most cutting-edge technology. It's far superior to those outdated, untrained, and primitive systems.

"Goodnight, little one. I promise you'll hear my voice when you wake up tomorrow." After giving two reluctant kisses, the system finally went out to do its mission alone.

Hmph, Little Seven isn't just a freeloader!

Chaochao, who remained at the sink, blinked and softly called out to Xiaoqi, but received no response.

Now even Xiaoqi has to go out and fight monsters...

Chao Chao let out a soft sigh, her eyes suddenly becoming unfathomable.

Huo Qin, who was passing by Chaochao's room after leaving the study, paused and took two steps back.

Amidst the swirling mist, the little girl in her floral nightgown held her hands together high, grasping a twig she had picked up and bowing reverently towards the windowsill.

The rising steam came from the hot milk on the table next to it.

Huo Qin: "..."

What kind of mind-blowing idea is this?
