Chapter 215: There Must Be a Way to Survive
"..." Xie Zhaoyuan's mouth twitched twice, and he was speechless, "You continue to be cunning."
Shen Yanhui picked up a strawberry from the bowl, opened his mouth and took a big bite, and said as he ate: "When I first came here, I didn't know that you were also a time traveler. I thought you were Qin Song himself. In addition, the system told me that Pei Xingzhi's wife Qin Song is a particularly vicious and bad woman. If I don't hurry up and get rid of you, then my mission will not be so easy to complete."
"I had just traveled through time, and I relied on my knowledge of the plot and the system, so I couldn't help being a little proud and arrogant. I was mean to you and slandered you, and one-third of the reason was because I was too arrogant and didn't take anyone in this book seriously."
Hearing this, Xie Zhaoyuan raised his eyebrows in surprise: "What are the other two-thirds of the reasons?"
Shen Yan replied: "It's because of my stereotype. The system told me that you are a vicious and mean woman, so when I saw you, I unconsciously wanted to treat you as a vicious woman."
Xie Zhaoyuan: “…”
Shen Yanhui smiled embarrassedly and stuffed the remaining strawberry butt into his mouth.
"The system told me that Qin Song is a very difficult woman to deal with. If I don't act ruthlessly, I will be the one who suffers. I just arrived here and don't know anyone. I can only believe whatever the system tells me, and I almost regard its words as an imperial decree."
"What happened next?" Xie Zhaoyuan slowly put away the smile on his face and looked at Shen Yanhui with a serious expression, "Did you find out later that the real me was completely different from what the system said?"
Shen Yanhui nodded: "Of course I found it."
"...You're still scolding me after you found out?" Xie Zhaoyuan was speechless and angry. "Every time I meet you, you scold me like a bastard and even blame me for all the inexplicable mistakes... I thought I was Japanese, but you're treating me like this!"
"...I'm sorry." Shen Yan pursed her lips to hold back her smile, and apologized immediately and readily.
"..." Xie Zhaoyuan glared at her angrily, "You keep quibbling. Why do you continue to bully me now that you've discovered that I'm not a bad person?"
"I, my mental state was a little unstable at that time." Shen Yanhui lowered his eyes, and his whole body exuded a sense of dejection from the inside out.
"My initial favorability was 12. Although it's not a lot, it's a very impressive number for a novice like me. I was very confident at the beginning. The system told me that I was a vicious female partner who did all kinds of evil things, and that Pei Xingzhi hated me very much and was preparing to divorce me. When I heard that, my self-confidence swelled instantly, and I foolishly thought that there was no possibility of failure in this mission."
"But I never thought that reality would give me a blow. All my self-righteous "thoughts" were wrong. You are not some vicious female supporting role that everyone wants to beat, and Pei Xingzhi is not planning to divorce you. I messed around for a while, not only did I get nothing, but I also turned my few points of favorability into negative numbers."
"At that time, I didn't understand anything. I didn't know what it meant for my favorability to drop to a negative number, nor did I know that there was a penalty for this mission. I didn't know that I would die if I didn't complete the mission."
"...What?!" Xie Zhaoyuan sat up straight and threw the doll in her arms to the ground. "You, you will die if you fail to complete the mission?!"
"Yeah." Shen Yan smiled back, "If I fail to complete this mission, I will be wiped out by the system and disappear from this world."
"..." Xie Zhaoyuan frowned in disbelief, looking at Shen Yanhui with a look of shock and panic.
She opened her mouth unconsciously, but couldn't utter a word.
My throat was blocked and I couldn't speak, and I didn't know what I should say.
"Eh..." Shen Yanhui sighed weakly, and when he spoke again, he suddenly choked up, "The system only told me that I could go home after completing the task, but it didn't say that I would die if I failed. I am very afraid of death, so when I learned about this rule, I was scared to death."
"I was desperate to gain favor, desperate to drive you away, and desperate to save my life. In fact, I didn't know what I was doing during that time. I was so scared that I didn't know how to save the situation I had messed up."
"It was the system that was secretly giving me advice, telling me to do this or that. I believed in the system unconditionally, but the result was counterproductive."
"Not only did I fail to restore my favorability, I also lowered it directly to the point of death. After that, I was completely afraid to move."
"I could only hide at home, enduring the excruciating pain every day but finding no way to save myself. Until you contacted me and said you wanted to make a deal with me."
"How much favorability do you need to earn in order to survive?" Xie Zhaoyuan looked at her sunken face and spoke in a low voice unconsciously.
Shen Yan replied: "One hundred. As long as I earn one hundred points of favorability, I can survive."
"Then how can I earn enough money to make a hundred?" Xie Zhaoyuan actually already had the answer in his mind, but he still asked Shen Yanhui unwillingly.
Shen Yan replied, "You are also a time traveler, and you also know the original ending of this book. If I want to earn 100 points of favorability, I can only follow the original setting and make Pei Xingzhi fall in love with me and be with me."
"..."Xie Zhaoyuan immediately became unhappy.
"I don't agree." Although she sympathized with Shen Yanhui's situation, she was unwilling to hand over Pei Xingzhi.
Shen Yanhui smiled helplessly: "I know you don't agree, and I don't plan to compete with you again."
Xie Zhaoyuan bit his lip, feeling a little awkward: "But if you don't rob, how are you going to complete the mission? Is there no other way for you to survive?"
"..." Shen Yan looked back at her and suddenly fell silent.
She picked at her fingers and sat there muttering in a low voice: "Although I haven't forgiven you yet, I don't want to watch you die. After all, it's a living life, how can it be wiped out so easily..."
"It's okay." Shen Yanhui forced the words he had prepared long ago back into his stomach. She curled the corners of her lips and smiled at Xie Zhaoyuan, her smile a little consciencelessly.
"I still have time. Maybe I can figure out other ways to survive later."
"...Really?" Xie Zhaoyuan was a little unconvinced.
Shen Yanhui raised his eyebrows: "Of course! There is always a way out. I will definitely find a way to survive."
"By the way, Xie Zhaoyuan, there is a question I have wanted to ask you for a long time. I wonder if you are willing to answer it."
Xie Zhaoyuan: "What's the problem?"
Shen Yan replied: "Since you don't have a system, how did you get here?"
