Chapter 193: Only one of you can survive
"Eight favorability points?" Shen Yanhui's eyes widened slightly, with a look of surprise, "I actually earned favorability points from Pei Xingzhi?"
The mechanical female voice answered her: [Yes, host. When your favorability increases by eight, the pain you endure will be reduced by eight percent accordingly. 】
Shen Yanhui nodded, and subconsciously wanted to raise her hand to touch her heart, but when she moved her wrist, she vaguely remembered that she was holding a lot of things in her hands, and she couldn't touch her heart which was still numb.
"How much time do I have left?" She asked coldly, staring at the steps below her feet.
Mechanical female voice: [Host, you still have five months. If you still haven't completed the task after five months, the system will automatically start the erasure process. By then, both you and I will completely disappear from this world. 】
"...I understand." Shen Yanhui lowered his eyes, his expression indifferent without any extra reaction.
Mechanical female voice: [Now that Qin Song has successfully given birth to a child, Pei Xingzhi has not only become a father, but he has also reconciled with Qin Song and their relationship has become even sweeter. Host, if you don't take action to destroy Pei Xingzhi's happy family, it will be too late. 】
"Hmph..." Shen Yanhui sneered, "Take action to destroy Pei Xingzhi's happy family? What else do you think I can do? Use the same old trick to become Pei Xingzhi's mistress?"
Mechanical female voice: [Of course not. The host has failed on this path and is still suffering the consequences of failure. But if the host is eager to die, the same trick can be used again. 】
Shen Yan replied: "...You also know that I will die if I become a mistress?"
Mechanical female voice: [That’s why I suggest the host to think of another way. 】
"..." Shen Yanhui rolled his eyes at the void in front of him, "If I could think of another way, I would not have agreed to cooperate with Qin Song in the first place."
【snort……】
The mechanical female voice seemed to laugh: [Host, since we are both about to die, I can give you a new idea. 】
"...What's your idea?" Shen Yan asked back.
Mechanical female voice: [I can lend you some favorability points and make Qin Song disappear from this world completely. You can keep Qin Song's child. If you are willing to be her child's stepmother, I think Pei Xingzhi will be very grateful to you. 】
[For example, just now, didn’t you gain Pei Xingzhi’s eight points of favorability because you helped Pei Xingzhi’s child? 】
"Heh," the self-righteousness of the mechanical female voice made Shen Yanhui laugh, "System, you actually think that Pei Xingzhi gave me eight favorability points just because I helped his child?"
Mechanical female voice: [Isn’t it? 】
"No!" Shen Yanhui said in a firm tone, his eyes cold and resolute, "The reason why Pei Xingzhi was willing to give me those eight points of favorability actually had nothing to do with the fact that I helped his child. He no longer has hostility towards me because I am good to Qin Song."
"When I stop hurting Qin Song and stop destroying their relationship, he will put away his thorns and give me a chance to gain favor!"
【so what? 】The mechanical female voice asked calmly.
Shen Yan replied: "So I should understand that my favorability was not given by Pei Xingzhi, but by Qin Song. Only if I treat Qin Song well, will Pei Xingzhi let me live."
"System, what can move Pei Xingzhi is not trust, companionship, support, or protection, but Qin Song. Only Qin Song can make his heart move."
【so what? 】
The mechanical female voice asked the same question: [So the host has decided to be nice to Qin Song from now on? 】
"..." Shen Yanhui didn't say anything.
Mechanical female voice: [But even so, the host still can't survive. Without Pei Xingzhi's sincerity, the host's favorability will never reach 100%. If it is less than 100%, the system will not be able to determine that the host has completed the task, and five months later, the host will still be wiped out by the system. 】
"..." Shen Yanhui bit her lip tightly and still didn't speak.
Mechanical female voice: [Host, you have indeed understood the essence of earning favor from Pei Xingzhi, but you seem to have forgotten that our mission is time-limited. Even if you can gain enough favor to save your life by being nice to Qin Song, you will never be able to complete the mission. Qin Song can't save you. If you want to survive, you can only be cruel and make Qin Song disappear. 】
[I know Qin Song is innocent, but you and her are destined to have one death and one life. It depends on what you want to choose. 】
[Everyone in the world is selfish. I don’t think anyone would be magnanimous enough to exchange his or her own life for that of others. 】
"..." Shen Yanhui sighed, "Does it have to be like this? Must one of me and her die?"
Mechanical female voice: [If the host could think of a more peaceful way to make Pei Xingzhi willingly give his true love to you, then Qin Song would certainly not have to die. 】
“…”
Shen Yanhui did not respond to the system's words. She stood in the corridor with her head down for a while, then picked up the nutritional supplements in her hand and went upstairs.
Outside the ward, many reporters were still wandering in the corridor disguised as relatives of the pregnant women. Shen Yanhui walked over carrying her things, and a reporter recognized her and couldn't wait to rush over to interview her.
Fortunately, the Xie family arranged bodyguards in advance. Before the reporters had time to block Shen Yanhui, the bodyguards appeared in time and blocked Shen Yanhui.
The reporters did not dare to provoke these burly men, so they could only retreat in disappointment and continue waiting for the opportunity to interview.
“Click—”
The door of the ward was gently pushed open, and the laughter and joy from inside instantly burst out.
People from the Xie family, the Pei family, and several of Qin Song’s good friends were all staying in the ward. When they saw Shen Yanhui come in, Song Yihan was the first to wave to her.
"Yan Hui, come and see, you will laugh just thinking about it!"
"I'm coming." Shen Yanhui put on a smile, put down the things in his hands, and then walked towards Song Yihan.
"Think about it and smile again."
Pei Xingzhi held his son in his arms, rocking him gently and coaxing him patiently.
"Think about it, smile again, okay?"
"Think about it, smile again..."
Thinking that maybe he understood what his father said, he immediately narrowed his eyes, grinned, and smiled obediently.
“Ouch…”
This smile melted everyone's heart. Song Yihan covered her heart with her hands and said with envy: "Dahua, your son is so cute!"
Qin Song raised his eyebrows proudly: "The son I give birth to must be a good boy."
"Xiaosong, look." Pei Xingzhi held the child in front of her, "He just smiled again."
She reached out to take the child, and before she even started to coax him, she squinted her eyes and started to smile again just thinking about it.
After laughing, he stared at Qin Song with his round eyes.
Pei Xingzhi pinched his face and said softly, "You also know that this is mom."
"Uh..." The little brat suddenly burped, as if he was responding to Pei Xingzhi's words.
