Chapter 17 System? Lollipop?
"Why are you so disappointing?"
"What a perfect opportunity! If you had just gone along with it, you could have gotten His Majesty to bestow a princess upon you in marriage. Wouldn't that have secured your future?"
After seeing Li Shimin and the others off, Wei Zheng began to mutter incessantly.
The way they were pounding their heads and stamping their feet seemed as if they had lost a tremendous opportunity.
"Dad, how can you be so sure I'm going to win?" Wei Shuyu explained patiently.
Well……
Wei Zheng had never really considered this.
“Besides, our family is so poor, do you think Li Shimin would let his daughter marry into our family and suffer?” Wei Shuyu added.
"You bastard, have I skimped on your food or drink? What do you mean by poor? There are still many people in the entire Tang Dynasty who can't even get enough to eat..."
"When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven."
“I, Wei Zheng, have lived an upright life, donating all my earned salary to people in need. Who dares to say that I, Wei Zheng, am not a decent person?”
“Shuyu, your thinking is unacceptable, and also…” Wei Zheng rattled off a string of words.
Wei Shuyu rubbed his temples, finally understanding why Li Shimin was so afraid of Wei Zheng.
"Father, that doesn't change the fact that our family is poor and Li Shimin is unwilling to marry his daughter into our family, does it?" Wei Shuyu quickly made a suggestion while Wei Zheng was drinking tea.
"..."
This really stumped Wei Zheng.
He was poor, but he was proud.
But that doesn't stop others from looking down on him, this poor wretch.
"Son, don't worry. Since you want to marry a princess, I'll risk my reputation and make sure His Majesty bestows one upon you!"
After Wei Zheng finished speaking seriously, he walked towards the bedroom: "It's getting late, I'm going to check on your mother."
Huh? What?
When did I say I was going to marry a princess?
Wei Shuyu stood alone in the hall, bewildered.
"father……"
He wanted to explain, but Wei Zheng had already disappeared.
Time passed.
The next day arrived in the blink of an eye.
The crowing of roosters broke the tranquility of the early morning.
Wei Shuyu, fast asleep, opened his eyes. Just as he was about to get dressed, the system appeared again...
"bite."
"Master, your sweetheart is online! Detecting your preferences, here are two lollipops for you. Complete the mission diligently for even more surprises..."
Wei Shuyu: "Get lost? Hmm? Wait a minute."
Lollipop?
As a special forces soldier who frequently undertakes highly challenging missions, injuries are a common occurrence.
Perhaps it's just a personal habit.
When the pain spikes, he likes to suck on a lollipop.
It's like the taste of sugar, which can soothe the pain in your body.
"Where?" Wei Shuyu asked.
The moment the thought crossed his mind, two sticks appeared beside the bed.
His pupils contracted sharply.
This system is no exaggeration.
"bite."
"The lollipop has been delivered. Host, work hard to complete the task and you'll receive even more rewards!"
"bite."
"Don't you want to know what the mission is, host?"
"bite."
"Doesn't the host have anything to ask about your sweet little baby?"
"bite."
"Host, why aren't you saying anything?"
Wei Shuyu: "You can get out of here."
System: "..." (A beast who doesn't recognize his owner after using his penis!)
Wei Shuyu: "Wait..."
"bite."
"Your lovely and heartwarming baby is always online."
Wei Shuyu: "From now on, get me two lollipops every day."
system:"……"
(It's one thing to turn your back on someone after you've had your penis removed, but to expect to get something for free every day? This system has its dignity too!)
"bite."
"Okay, but you have to work hard to complete the mission, or your sweetheart will disappear."
Wei Shuyu did not respond.
Wei Shuyu unwrapped the lollipop and popped it into his mouth; it truly tasted like the fruit he remembered.
But soon he put the lollipop down again.
He doesn't usually like eating lollipops.
It's sticky.
Moreover, this is the Tang Dynasty, and this body is so small; if it gets cavities, it's all over...
Dental implantation technology did not exist in the Tang Dynasty.
"Young Master."
The passing butler saw this and greeted them.
"Uncle Wu, wait a minute, let me alter these clothes." Wei Shuyu ran back into the house and brought out all his clothes.
Now that we have lollipops, we naturally need to put them in a bag.
In ancient times, the pockets of clothing were all in the sleeves, and it always took a long time to bend over and dawdle to reach them.
The thought of that scene is just unsettling.
"Yes, young master."
The housekeeper readily agreed.
He was serving the Wei family, so naturally he wouldn't refuse such a small matter.
"Big brother, big brother..."
Just as he finished exercising and was wiping away the sweat, Choi Shin-ki burst in.
"What is it?" Wei Shuyu asked without turning his head.
"Let's go to the Imperial College."
"..."
I almost forgot about that again.
Yesterday's incident was too big for Wei Zheng to remember; otherwise, he would definitely have been criticized again.
"Alright then." Wei Shuyu nodded. Since he had nothing better to do anyway, he figured he might as well take a stroll around the Imperial Academy.
On the way, Wei Shuyu ate a flatbread as he walked.
"Brother, you only eat this coarse grain?"
"Is there a problem?"
"There's no problem, I just think you're so shabby."
"Yeah?"
"Really, no wonder nobody likes to play with you."
"so what?"
"So you're a poor wretch."
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu raised his hand and smacked him on the head again.
"Knowing I'm poor, why don't you hand over your allowance for today?"
Choi Shin-ki was dumbfounded; he never expected that he would get himself involved in such a conversation.
"Didn't I already pay the protection fee yesterday?" Choi Shin-ki covered his head, looking aggrieved.
“You said it yourself, it was yesterday’s, and you haven’t paid today’s protection fee yet.” Wei Shuyu’s eyes widened.
Since you know I'm poor, it's one thing not to offer any help, but to indirectly say I'm poor, beating you up would be too lenient.
Choi Shin-ki slowly pulled out a few dozen coins from his sleeve.
"That's all?" Wei Shuyu took it with disdain.
"Brother, carrying too much money is tiring," Choi Shin-ki said, sounding aggrieved.
How could one possibly carry a thousand coins?
"Did Feng Chou give you that ten thousand strings of cash?" Wei Shuyu suddenly asked.
“I gave it to him. I hid it in an uninhabited house belonging to the Choi family,” Choi Shin-ki replied softly.
"Yes, hide it well. Make sure your father doesn't take it away. I have a big use for that money." Wei Shuyu nodded.
"You can rest assured that I'll handle things well," Choi Shin-ki said, patting his chest loudly.
After what happened yesterday, Choi Shin-ki has been completely won over.
However, Wei Shuyu's next move completely stunned him...
Wei Shuyu stuffed the rest of the flatbread into his mouth and then took out a small stick.
After tearing open the packaging, I put it in my mouth.
This outrageous move is absolutely blinding to Choi Shin-ki's eyes.
"Brother, I know you're too poor to afford snacks, but we can't eat glass."
"Wait...you're eating glass?"
"Holy crap, glass! That's so expensive!"
Glass?
Huh?
The lollipop really does look like glass.
Wait……
Why did I eat a lollipop again?
Is it because I'm a child, or because I'm with children?
Wei Shuyu glared at Cui Shenji with ill intent.
I heard that being stupid is contagious...
