The following weeks were very peaceful. They saw almost all the wonderful sights in B City and visited famous buildings. The only problem was that Xu Chacha was always too tired to climb mountains sometimes, but everyone was patient and enjoyed the scenery along the way.
As the journey neared its end, news of the competition arrived. Xu Chacha won first place in both rounds with overwhelming strength, and the prize money was in her pocket.
“My bonus has arrived, and I'd like to treat you all to a meal. I also want to pay back Xinxin some of it. I will repay the travel expenses for this trip. I saw scenery I had never seen before, and I am truly grateful to you all.”
Xi Xinxin met her determined gaze and did not refuse her request.
In the restaurant's restroom, Xu Chacha pulled Yu Shuwen closer, met her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "I did have ulterior motives at first. But now I'm sincere. Believe it or not, I will repay Xinxin for her kindness to me!"
"..."
Seeing that Yu Shuwen did not answer for a long time, she smiled bitterly. It seemed that she had not gained his trust. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she heard the reply.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. I really wanted to be friends with Xi Dai and Xi Xinxin. I genuinely wanted to be good to them."
They looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and shook hands.
At this moment, they finally reached a consensus.
Xi Xinxin quickly noticed the change in the atmosphere between the two, and secretly curled the corners of her mouth before quickly returning to a natural smile.
(Is the host happy about this?)
Yes, clearing up the misunderstanding is the best thing that can be done.
(Would the host behave this way in real life as well?)
Xi Xinxin narrowed her eyes, a sudden sense of unease creeping over her. "What do you want to know? The system? Or what does the person who designed you want to know?"
(This system is just curious: would the host also try to improve relationships with girls who don't get along in real life?)
Xi Xinxin stretched and yawned. (Unable to...)
(Then why do it now?)
Xi Xinxin paused for a moment, "Yes, why?" She thought, "I probably came in just to avoid a tragedy, but later I felt that it would be too pitiful for such a young child to have such an ending."
Now, Xi Xinxin believes she's merely helping them escape, assisting the girls. It seems the situation is already good enough that she no longer needs to intervene. No. She wants to watch these children grow into independent, outstanding women. She wants to protect them from malice along the way.
Xi Xinxin chuckled softly. "It's fine if the people behind you want to know anything. I know Chu Quanyi fairly well. So, System, are you willing to listen to me?"
(Host, please speak)
It's really nothing serious. It's not that I can't talk about it, it's just that no one has ever asked, and it's not something that's worth keeping secret.
Xi Xinxin wasn't actually very bright as a child, and her grades were quite low. However, she had a sweet tongue and was very likable. But some teachers don't like children with poor grades. Once, during a class, one teacher directly called out Xi Xinxin's name, saying it was embarrassing for her to get such a bad grade.
Suddenly, a little girl stood up. She was usually very close to Xi Xinxin. She shouted at the teacher, "How could you talk to Xinxin like that? You don't deserve to be a teacher!"
The teacher was so angry her face turned purple. The girl's parents were called in the next day.
At this point, Xi Xinxin chuckled: "But at that time, I was really grateful to her; I felt so wonderful."
Then something dramatic happened. The two girls were being watched on their way home. Two adults dragged and pulled them into an unknown alley. Midway, Xi Xinxin bumped her head and instantly passed out. When she woke up, she found the girl carrying her on her back, covered in mud.
She said: I figured out a way to escape, wasn't I clever?
Children are no match for adults, especially when carrying a girl. The two adults, realizing they'd been tricked, immediately grabbed the little girl and started beating her. The little girl was very brave. She didn't cry at all, but simply threw herself off their backs and kept apologizing to Xi Xinxin. Xi Xinxin hit her head again. But she didn't lose consciousness. She watched the little girl being beaten. She couldn't move. She felt too scared to move.
In the end, the police arrived late and rescued them.
I heard the little girl's injuries were very serious and she dropped out of school.
Xi Xinxin never saw her again.
But she became very smart. She skipped grades and was praised as a once-in-a-century genius! But she hated her past cowardice.
If she has any wishes
That is: Protect all women, be good to all women.
