007 popped up again, "Damn it, host, what did you do? Why is your favorability rating going up and down like it's at a club?"
"...Would you believe me if I said I didn't do anything?"
Su Jin stole a glance at Shen Yanxiu across from her. He seemed completely unaffected, still with that indifferent expression.
Even if someone died right in front of him, he would still calmly move his leg away and wipe the blood splattered on his face.
"He seems a bit dead... Never mind him, 007, I still want to ask you, how can that thing just go into someone else's head? Are you even capable of that?"
Su Jin was referring to the time 0827 entered her mind and said a bunch of nonsense.
Is her brain some kind of cheap thing that lets just anything get inside?
007 coughed lightly a few times to cover up his embarrassment, "It has more points, I have too few."
Su Jin asked bluntly, "Why don't you have any points?"
007's voice was very soft, "...I've used them all."
"Where did you use it? You didn't help me at all. Where did you use it?" Su Jin was dumbfounded. This broken system had been tied to her for three years, and apart from letting her win the lottery a few times, it hadn't given her any benefits whatsoever.
"I... used to use it."
"Used them all?"
No matter how much Su Jin asked, 007 remained silent.
She kept her mouth shut tighter than her wallet.
"Little Violet? Little Violet?"
Su Jin came to her senses and saw Xie Yunhuai looking at her with concern. "Are you feeling unwell?"
Su Jin's eyes were glazed over. "My head does feel a little uncomfortable. I want to take it out and scratch it."
Xie Yunhuai said in a serious tone, "No, that would be fatal. Xiaojin can't die."
The director announced, "That's all for this episode. As for who won or lost this little game, it will be very useful in the next episode..."
Once the director utters the first line, what he's about to say next is no longer important.
"Off work! Time to go home!"
Lin Shi was as lively and energetic as a little flea.
Su Jin comforted her, "Take your time, don't rush. It's all your suffering, no one is taking it from you."
Lin Shi indeed slumped down like a frostbitten eggplant.
But it's good that she's off work, since she hasn't seen the puppy yet.
After listening to the director ramble on about a bunch of random things, we finally wrapped up and prepared to go home.
Before leaving, Su Jin had one thing on her mind, so she asked Director Yan, "What about the chickens?"
Director Yan didn't react for a moment, "What chicken?"
...
Gu Xingze stood in front of the car, gazing into the distance like a statue waiting for his wife.
"Mr. Gu."
Gu Xingze gave the newcomer a look.
"What's the matter?"
Wearing glasses and a hat, Luo Feifei flashed a standard eight-tooth smile. "Mr. Gu, would you like to know why your wife's attitude towards you has changed so drastically?"
Gu Xingze stared at her teeth for a long time before slowly reminding her.
"You have food stuck in your teeth."
Luo Feifei's face stiffened, she turned her head away, and ran her tongue around her teeth.
She calmly turned her head, but this time she didn't dare to smile anymore, only giving an elegant, pursed-lip smile.
“Mr. Gu, I can tell you about her, but I need your help to secure a high-end luxury endorsement.”
Luo Feifei observed his reaction through her sunglasses.
0827 encouraged her, "The host is doing a good job. This will greatly increase the exposure and the attention value will also rise."
"Do you really need to tell me that?"
Luo Feifei narrowed her eyes with pleasure. She really didn't want to listen to the system, but why not kill two birds with one stone?
Gu Xingze remained expressionless; the offer was indeed very tempting.
It was a great temptation for him, at least.
But...does he look like an idiot?
"How do I know if what you're saying is true? What if you're lying and trying to sow discord between us?"
Luo Feifei still wanted to argue for herself, "You just need to listen to this..."
What are you talking about?
Su Jin had just said goodbye to the others when she saw the two of them talking in the distance.
She couldn't think of anything the two of them could possibly have to say to each other.
"Wife!" Gu Xingze rushed over, picked up Su Jin, and spun her around. The dazed Su Jin was rubbed against him in his arms.
"Honey, you don't know that you can't do anything out of line in front of the camera. I'm about to burst with pent-up frustration."
Su Jin steadied herself, shook her still-dazed mind, and pointed at Gu Xingze, "Wait a minute, I have something to say to her."
Although Gu Xingze felt aggrieved that her first reaction was to look for that woman, he still obediently let go of her hand.
Su Jin put her arm around Luo Feifei's neck and pulled her away from the crowd.
Luo Feifei couldn't break free from her. "What do you want to do!"
Su Jin looked at her wide-open mouth and unconsciously said, "You have some food stuck in your teeth."
"That's enough, you two!"
Su Jin tightened her arms, closing the distance between them, "You and your broken system are enough."
Her face was filled with suppressed anger. "Tell your system that it is very impolite to randomly enter other people's minds. Let it have the ability to manifest itself. I will beat it every time I see it."
I don't know if it was just Luo Feifei's imagination, but 0827 seemed to tremble slightly?
Su Jin's usually half-closed eyes widened, revealing blood vessels in the whites of her eyes, which looked somewhat frightening.
"Since you've rejected my offer of cooperation, let's just leave each other alone. You do your task and I'll do mine. Is that so difficult?"
Su Jin released her arms from Luo Feifei's neck and turned to leave.
"Of course it's difficult!"
For some unknown reason, Luo Feifei behind him suddenly took off her sunglasses and shouted.
"The moment you appear, everyone's eyes are on you. I've been trying to please Shen Yanxiu for so long, and those fans for so long... I've been a slave to everyone, and now all my efforts are about to be in vain. And now you're telling me to go my separate ways?"
Luo Feifei's beautiful face twisted into a grimace. "Do you think I'm your pet dog? That I'll do whatever you want me to do? I'm not your husband!"
Su Jin laughed angrily, "So what? You're going to ruin my mission and then abandon your own?"
Luo Feifei gasped for breath, calming herself down a bit. "No, I will complete my mission, while you will fail and accept the system's punishment."
She left, leaving Su Jin looking completely bewildered.
...
Gu Xingze looked Su Jin around worriedly, "Wife, did that person do anything to you? She seemed a bit off. Luckily, I didn't listen to her."
"What did she say?"
Gu Xingze honestly recounted what Luo Feifei had just said, and he snorted.
“I’m just rich, not stupid. What if she tells a bunch of lies to sow discord between us? I’m not falling for it.”
Su Jin looked out the car window speechlessly, "Do we need to sow discord between us? ... Flowers will bloom again after they wither, so thank me for leaving sooner."
