Chapter 3

Shen Baili blurted out: "System?"

As a fashionable person who has read the series of melodramas in recent years, she has a rich reserve of "knowledge" and a strong ability to accept.

"You are worthy of being bound to the soul of this system. You are so smart." The electronic voice of the system is still lively and cheerful.

She said it was the system, and it was a system that didn’t seem very smart.

Shen Baili hesitated and said, "...Thank you for the compliment?"

Many thoughts flashed through her mind, and she took the initiative: "System, do you have a name?"

"My name is Ah Deng." The system replied. It didn't find its host strange at all.

Shen Baili tried: "Is it Lao Deng's Deng?"

Ah Deng hurriedly explained: "It's not Lao Deng, it's Ah Deng, the light of the electric lamp."

System A-Deng understands the culture of this world and is very concerned about names.

Shen Baili secretly memorized it and stopped teasing it: "I know, your name is Ah Deng."

"Then why did you tie me up?"

Ah Deng: "I was awakened by your obsession. It is you who bound me."

Shen Baili's eyes flashed with a hint of light, and she repeated the key word: "Obsession?"

Before she could get a word in, Ah Deng continued like a big sieve: "The strong obsession you burst out before your death bound me to you by force. Because of some reasons, I needed to realize your obsession, and an accident happened on the way to take you to reincarnate."

"…I used all my energy to protect myself, and was passively formatted. After I urgently sent you to this world, I also fell into a coma and did not wake up until yesterday."

Shen Baili understood: "Can you realize my obsession?"

Ah Deng: “Yes.”

Shen Baili's heart was moved, and she asked without hesitation: "Can you keep my mother and I safe and healthy, and have a smooth life?"

Ah Deng: “No.”

Shen Baili: "Then can you use legal means to make me the richest man in the world?"

Ah Deng: “No.”

Shen Baili questioned from the bottom of her heart: "Then what can you do?"

Ah Deng was silent for a moment, then said lively: "I can help you to relieve your boredom."

"I checked the two obsessions the host just mentioned, and neither of them matches the powerful obsession when binding this system~"

"I can only help you realize the wish you made in your previous life."

Shen Baili felt a headache and asked sincerely, "Then what is my obsession?"

Ah Deng: "This system has been formatted and does not store the host's obsession."

Shen Baili was shocked: "So... you lost your memory?"

These days, the system has started to go for bloody plots.

…

After a series of confusing conversations, Shen Baili got a lot of information.

This system, called A Deng, gains energy by realizing her obsessions. They have tried 99+ obsessions, but still cannot figure out what her obsessions are.

But at the moment, it seems that the system has self-awareness and is a bit stupid, and cannot harm her, and has no impact on this world.

Shen Baili felt that Ah Deng was a bit like an electronic pet that needed to be charged.

Seeing Shen Baili silent, Ah Deng couldn't help but introduce the remaining functions.

"After I have enough energy points, I can unlock the original chapters for the host~"

"Some chapters in the original novel are related to the host. Predicting the plot gives the host the opportunity to seize the initiative and change the original fate."

"If there are no energy points, this system will not be able to help the host fight against the power of the main plot, and you and Shen Wan will both die..."

"Beep beep! System power is low, automatically entering sleep mode."

Shen Baili's pupils shrank, and she quickly asked, "Why did my mother and I die?!?"

"Why didn't you tell me this earlier, it's so important?"

"Wake me up!"

She called the system many times, but there was no response.

"You should at least tell me how to replenish energy." Shen Baili couldn't help but complain that the system was unreliable.

She had no expectations of the system and thought about the information and related obsessions from the conversation she had just had with the system.

She had a vague feeling that some key information had been missed, and she couldn't remember it no matter how hard she tried, as if it was covered by a layer of veil.

What was her obsession in her previous life?

As she was thinking, she fell asleep again.

***

Shen Baili stayed in the hospital for seven days, eating a light diet and doing appropriate activities every day.

In just seven days, she lost 5 kilograms, her eyelids were almost exposed, and her mouth tasted tasteless.

Fortunately, all the patience was worth it. Her wound did not get infected and she recovered well. She was able to be discharged from the hospital after the stitches were removed.

In fact, she could have been discharged from the hospital on the third day after the operation, but Shen Wan was worried and observed her for a few more days. She had been with her in the hospital during these days. The two of them watched all the melodramatic TV series together, discussed the plots together, and took walks together. Their lives returned to warmth and peace.

During this time, the system seemed to have never appeared.

Shen Baili never expected to rely on the system. Instead of worrying about the unknown future, it is better to grasp the present.

After returning to the Xie residence, life did not change much. Stepfather and second brother Xie still did not come home. Eldest brother Xie always went out early and came back late, which was completely different from their schedule, so they basically never met.

There are only Shen Baili and Shen Wan at home, and their life is similar to before.

She reads books, watches anime and walks outside for 1-2 hours every day. The wound heals well, but she still needs to avoid certain foods. The most uncomfortable thing is not the pain, but not being able to take a bath!!!

She could only wipe her body with a wet towel to prevent the wound from getting infected by water.

Whenever Shen Baili wanted to take a bath, Shen Wan would stop her. No matter how she acted coquettishly, it was useless because her daughter's health was her mother's bottom line.

Finally, after two weeks, she felt refreshed after taking a shower and felt like she was alive again.

Her high school entrance examination results were also announced.

Her total score ranked first in the school and 28th in the city, with full marks in mathematics and English.

Bonus Got It!

Shen Wan was very happy: "Sui Sui is so amazing. You have always been your mother's pride."

"My daughter ranked first in the school and 28th in the city!"

Shen Baili smiled and said: "I inherited my mother's excellent genes, hehe~"

Shen Wan touched her head and felt very distressed: "We have worked hard every year."

This child never said a word about the suffering he was going through.

Steward Lin looked at them with a smile and said sincerely, "Congratulations to Miss Baili and Madam."

Housekeeper Lin has a good impression of Shen Baili. Few parents dislike children who are polite and have good grades.

Shen Baili smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Lin."

"Would you like to hold a celebration party to celebrate Miss Baili's success in the high school entrance exam?" Butler Lin asked, "You can invite Miss's friends to come to your house to play."

Manager Lin had good intentions, but Shen Baili refused: "No, my friend has gone back to his hometown."

She has an average relationship with her junior high school classmates, and her only good friend left Haicheng because of her parents' job changes.

Shen Wan respected her daughter's suggestion and changed her proposal: "Then don't hold a banquet. Mom will give you a big red envelope."

"Thank you, Mom!" Xie Baili hugged her in surprise: "Mom is the best."

In Shen Wan's eyes: "You're a coquettish kid."

"I want to eat the seafood noodles cooked by my mother!" Shen Baili actively ordered.

"Okay." Shen Wan agreed.

"I want beef pie."

"Okay, I'll do it for you." Shen Wan was very good-tempered.

"I also want to eat spicy hotpot!!!" Shen Baili looked at Shen Wan expectantly.

"Oh no, you can't eat this for the time being." Shen Wan pressed her forehead with her index finger and did not let her lead her astray.

Shen Baili was disappointed: "Okay."

"I can make a hotpot that's neither spicy nor spicy. Do you want to eat it?" Shen Wan's heart softened but not much.

Shen Baili collapsed on the sofa: "What's the difference between this and boiled vegetables?"

"I'll wait until the wound heals before taking it. I can just hold on for another two months, right?" She clenched her fist and encouraged herself, "I can do it."

The body is the capital of revolution. She has a great responsibility and needs to take good care of her body.

"Okay, then we'll go to the food court and have a big meal together." Shen Wan said with relief.

Shen Baili's eyes suddenly lit up: "It's a deal."

She stretched out her pinky finger, and Shen Wan smiled and hooked it around her pinky finger: "It's a deal."

…

That afternoon, Xie's house welcomed a new guest.

Shen Wan and Shen Baili both know Li, the special assistant whom they have met a few times before. He is one of Xie Chengyue's right-hand men. He graduated from a prestigious university, has strong working ability, and is highly regarded by the boss.

Special Assistant Li came with a task assigned by the boss. After a polite greeting, he got straight to the point: "Ms. Bai Li, congratulations on your good results in the high school entrance examination. The boss was very happy to hear about this, but because of an important meeting, he couldn't leave halfway, so he specially asked me to come here..."

Xie Chengyue does not have time to pay attention to the news about his stepdaughter all the time. These are all paid attention to by the assistant team and relayed to the other party, who then issued instructions.

The boss hasn't arrived yet, but his intention is there.

Assistant Li took out a gift box and a bank card and pushed them in front of Shen Baili.

"This is a gift from the boss to congratulate Miss Baili on her admission to high school. The balance on the bank card is NT$3 million, including NT$2 million for the high school entrance exam bonus and NT$1 million for this month's living expenses."

"From now on, the living allowance will be paid on time on the 1st of every month." Special Assistant Li added: "This is the living allowance standard for the Xie family. It applies to both Mr. Xie and Mr. Xie."

Shen Baili subconsciously looked at her mother. She almost couldn't recognize the currency unit.

Shen Wan smiled gently, neither servile nor overbearing: "Keep it, this is a gift from your Uncle Xie, remember to call and thank him later."

Shen Baili picked up the bank card on the coffee table. She realized later that she was now a wealthy woman???

Seeing that they accepted it, Special Assistant Li breathed a sigh of relief. He liked talking to smart people, so he didn't need to say the persuasive words he had prepared.

"One more thing, the boss is very concerned about Miss Baili's studies."

Special Assistant Li kindly handed two documents to the two of them, which contained detailed introductions of the two schools.

Haicheng No. 1 High School is the best public school. The top scorers in the college entrance examination are almost always from this school every year. The proportion of students admitted to the top domestic universities is also extremely high, and the undergraduate admission rate is 100%. It is the dream high school for many students and parents.

Nanya International High School is a powerful private high school. Its board of directors is composed of wealthy or noble people, and so are the students. The students themselves are the best resources, and most of them will apply to prestigious Ivy League schools abroad. They do not need to compete with millions or tens of millions of candidates to cross the single-plank bridge.

"Both of these schools are strong high schools. Which one do you prefer?"

These are two completely different paths, and Xie Chengyue gave Shen Baili and Shen Wan the opportunity to choose for themselves.

Even if Shen Baili didn't do well in the exam, she could still be admitted to any school she chose.

There is no absolute fairness in the world. Assistant Li is well aware of this. To be honest, he is a little envious.

He was also very curious about what choice the young girl who had just married into a wealthy family would make.
