Chapter 23 Baby is sad
Back in the Ya room, Tang Xiaoyun moved very carefully for fear of waking up the person sleeping in the bed.
He just walked towards the chair, then immediately turned around and walked towards the bed.
"It's almost dawn anyway, so it should be okay for me to take a nap here for a while, right?"
As he said that, he lay down outside the bed. In order to avoid waking up Tan Tai Lie, he deliberately kept some distance.
Perhaps because of the days of running around, coupled with the system's social death punishment, he was physically and mentally exhausted, and fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.
The sound of even breathing slowly came from beside him. The next second, Tan Tai Lie opened his eyes, looked at Tang Xiaoyun's profile, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.
Thinking of those ridiculous scenes before, he murmured softly: "Fool, as long as you ask, how can I not cooperate with you."
After making sure Tang Xiaoyun was sound asleep, Tan Tai Lie slowly sat up, bent his left leg, rested his elbow on his knee, and called softly, "System, come out."
The system, which was about to shut down and go into hibernation, heard the boss's call and hurriedly floated out of Tang Xiaoyun's body.
[Boss, are you looking for me? ]
Looking at the little bear floating in the air before him, Tan Tai Lie's eyes instantly turned cold, no longer as gentle as before: "Don't you have anything to explain?"
Seeing the murderous look in Tan Tai Lie's eyes, the system knew what he was referring to. It was so frightened that it immediately fell to the bed, then slid down to its knees in front of Tan Tai Lie and cried: "Boss, I'm wronged. I can't control the punishment!"
Hearing the system's complaints, Tan Tai Lie revealed a sinister sneer, his tone steady yet filled with unquestionable authority: "Either I crush you to pieces, or you change the punishment. Choose one, and it's up to you whether you live or die."
The system is really complaining. It is just a small system and it has no control over things like punishment.
But now its life is in Tan Tai Lie's hands, what can it do?
[I choose two. My heart is sore. Woo woo woo...]
"Cry again and you'll die."
Karma!
The crying stopped abruptly.
Tan Tai Lie frowned and said subconsciously, "Why did it take so long to take a bath? The water is cold. Won't you get sick if you soak for so long?"
In order to improve his impression of Tan Tai Lie, the system hastily explained: [The host had already washed it an hour ago.]
Tan Tai Lie paused, looked up at the system, and said in a somewhat cold tone: "Then why did you come back just now?"
[That's because the host and Gongsun Ji were chatting and forgot the time, and also discovered...]
"What did you say? They were chatting alone in the middle of the night behind my back?"
After hearing this, the murderous intent in Tan Tai Lie's eyes became even stronger, veins on his forehead bulged, and he stared at Tang Xiaoyun, who was sleeping beside him, with an extremely gloomy look.
The system finally realized what was going on and quickly covered its mouth: [Oops, I think I said too much!]
"Very good! You said you'd stay away from him, but you're actually playing a double game here. Tang Xiaoyun, you're great!"
"Hmm~ Who called me~"
Tang Xiaoyun subconsciously turned over, hugged Tan Tai Lie's waist, and continued to sleep with smacking his lips.
"Oh!"
Tan Tai Lie was so angry at his shameless behavior that he laughed. He waved at the system and said, "Go back."
[Okay!]
The system disappeared in a flash.
In order to prevent innocent people from being affected, the system had to modify the punishment plan overnight, and for this it was severely punished by the Lord God.
…
In the early morning, golden sunlight penetrates the mist, and the sound of birdsong echoes crisply among the branches and leaves, awakening the sleeping world.
Tang Xiaoyun opened his eyes in a daze, and subconsciously reached to the side, but found nothing.
He was stunned, "Where is the big devil?"
[The boss got up early.]
"Oh, then I'm getting ready to get up too." He sat up, straightened his clothes, and said jokingly, "By the way, why does your voice sound so weak? Did you steal cattle last night?"
When talking about what happened last night, the system felt very upset and flew out of Tang Xiaoyun's body in a hurry.
The floating object in mid-air pointed at him angrily and said, "It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, I would be like this."
Tang Xiaoyun was startled by the furry thing that suddenly appeared: "What the hell?"
Seeing the object clearly, Tang Xiaoyun subconsciously reached out to touch it: "You... are the system?"
This was the first time he had seen the true face of the system since he had transmigrated into the book. He had thought the system was just a program or a string of numbers.
I didn’t expect it to be so cute!
[Yes, I am the system, but how can you tell how cute I am now?]
After hearing what it said, Tang Xiaoyun realized that its fur was messy and its nose and face were bruised.
"Who hit you?"
[Being... Oh, forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you. ]
The system sighed and re-entered Tang Xiaoyun's body.
"How can I understand if you don't tell me?" Tang Xiaoyun continued to ask.
The system couldn't say that it was too talkative last night and was noticed by the big devil, and was forced to modify the punishment plan and was severely punished by the Lord God. That would be too embarrassing, and it would never tell the story even if it was beaten to death.
Seeing that the system didn't say anything, Tang Xiaoyun stopped asking questions, opened the door and walked out, but happened to run into Gongsun Ji.
"Master's wife, did you sleep well last night?" Gongsun Ji's eyes moved slightly, and he came up to her with a sweet smile. His voice was gentle but with an imperceptible temptation.
"It's okay, go down first." After saying that, Tang Xiaoyun took the lead and walked downstairs.
At this time, Tan Tai Lie, Bai Chuan and the other two were having dinner in the hall downstairs. Seeing Tang Xiaoyun and Gongsun Ji coming down together, Tan Tai Lie slammed the teacup on the table.
The noise startled Baichuan and the other two. They looked in the direction Tan Tai Lie was looking and understood what was going on.
I thought to myself: Madam, oh madam, you are so bad at reading people’s expressions that we are the ones who suffer!
Tang Xiaoyun came to the table and just as he sat down and picked up his chopsticks, he heard Tan Tai Lie say, "It's getting late, let's get going."
Tang Xiaoyun glanced at the barely touched food on the table and said, "No, I just came down."
【I haven't even taken a single bite yet.】
Tan Tai Lie ignored him and walked straight out of the inn: "Bai Chuan!"
“Here I come!”
Bai Chuan looked at Tang Xiaoyun with sympathy, and called out to Chu Xiao and Ye Lan to follow quickly.
Tang Xiaoyun was torn between filling his stomach and following him. Finally, he chose the latter and quickly followed Tan Tai Lie into the carriage.
Seeing this, Gongsun Ji curled the corners of his lips slightly, then called the waiter and said something to him. Not long after, he caught up with them.
The atmosphere in the carriage was a bit depressing. Since entering the carriage, Tan Tai Lie has been silent and resting with his eyes closed. Even when Tang Xiaoyun talked to him, he ignored her.
What's wrong with him? He was fine last night.
He was muttering in his heart, but at this inopportune moment, his stomach started to growl: "Gurgle~~~"
He subconsciously looked up at Tan Tai Lie, but saw that the man was sitting there like a stone, unmoved.
I'm so hungry~
He hadn't had breakfast and had traveled such a long way, so his stomach was already rumbling.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, followed by Gongsun Ji's voice: "Master and Madam, would you like some food?"
