Chapter 153 Happy second day of the new year!
After lunch.
"Xiaojiu! You're here! Long time no see!"
When Lin Xiaojuan noticed the figure suddenly appearing in the living room, she immediately put down the work in her hands and happily came forward to greet him.
099, oh no, now I should call her Chen Xin, smiled warmly at Lin Xiaojuan: "Hello, Auntie, I'm bothering you again~"
Lin Xiaojuan waved her hands: "No, no, I won't bother you. Xiaoyue has been under your care for the past six months, and you haven't said she bothered you."
After saying that, he gave Song Yue a look.
Song Yue: ...
"...Yes, yes, Mom, you are right."
Since it was not her first time visiting her house, Lin Xiaojuan greeted her briefly and then went to make her fancy steamed buns. Song Tianyuan was studying his maintenance video seriously in the bedroom, and he called out to her beforehand as a greeting.
Suddenly they were the only two left in the living room, and the silence was a little awkward.
"you……"
"you……"
The two people opened their mouths at the same time and closed them at the same time.
Song Yue: "You speak first."
Ana Shen: “No, you speak first.”
Song Yue paused, slowly inhaled the cool air into her chest, and then slowly exhaled: "Are you okay?"
Shen Xin stared at her seriously, his eyes gentle and affectionate: "I'm fine, how about you?"
She knew that he was not his real body at this moment, but a shell, but the moment she met Chen Xin's eyes, the bloody eye holes involuntarily appeared in her mind.
He dug out his eyes with his own hands...
When she thought of this, Song Yue's breathing stagnated and her eyes turned away unnaturally.
"What's wrong?"
Noticing her strange expression, Shen Xin held her face, straightened it, and looked worried.
Song Yue was forced to look him in the eye, her heartbeat gradually rising.
"...Nothing." He only glanced at it, then lowered his eyes again, "I remembered some things from the past."
What happened in the past… Shen Xin understood instantly.
"It's all in the past, don't think about it." While Lin Xiaojuan was still busy in the kitchen, with her back to them, Shen Xin hugged her in his arms, his warm palm covering her back, patting her gently, "Without you, I would die in the polar regions. You are saving me, do you know?"
"...I know..." Song Yue leaned on his shoulder, half of her face buried in his chest, and whispered softly, "It's because I know that I feel uncomfortable..."
Cough cough!
An unnatural cough came from behind.
Song Yue hurriedly pushed away Shen Xin's embrace, trying hard to hide her guilty conscience: "...Dad."
Song Tianyuan never thought that he would witness this scene when he just went out of the bedroom to make a cup of tea.
He was even more panicked than the person involved!
My hand shook and the teacup almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, he held on forcibly, glanced at the two of them pretending to be indifferent, and then rushed into the kitchen "unhurriedly".
As soon as he stepped in, he locked the kitchen door like a thief and rushed to Lin Xiaojuan's side.
"Oh no, wife! Something terrible has happened!"
Lin Xiaojuan was studying how to shape her steamed buns when Song Tianyuan interrupted her. She raised her eyelids impatiently: "What could have happened at home? Why are you so anxious?"
"Those two kids!" Song Tianyuan pointed outside and made a hugging gesture, "They have signs!"
"What? The two of them?" Lin Xiaojuan widened her eyes in surprise, then realized something, and her surprise immediately disappeared. She rolled her eyes at Song Tianyuan, "Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. Xiaoyue is already 27, so what's wrong with showing signs? Isn't it normal?"
Xiaojiu is good-looking and treats her daughter well, so she doesn't think there is anything wrong with them being together.
"Oh, I'm not talking about that..." Song Tianyuan hesitated, not knowing what to say, "... well, you know, Xiaojiu... isn't a human..."
It sounded like an insult, but Song Tianyuan swore that he definitely didn't mean that.
Lin Xiaojuan paused, finally coming to her senses: "Yes, Xiaojiu is the system."
Can systems and people coexist?
The two looked at each other.
Song Yue didn't expect that in order to dispel her doubts, Lin Xiaojuan kept hinting to her in various ways throughout the afternoon.
From how babies are born, to how humans raise their offspring, to the natural aging and death of humans... the story goes on and on.
Finally, Song Yue's head was buzzing with anxiety, so she said, "Mom, just tell me straight, do you think Xiaojiu is not good enough?"
Chen Xin, who has ears on the other side of the wall: ???
Who are you saying is not good enough?
Men can't say no!
Lin Xiaojuan had no idea she was being so blunt. She slapped her hard on the back: "You're not even married yet, and you're talking so crudely!"
Song Yue smiled playfully: "I'm not wrong, Mom, you're just worried about whether we can have children~"
She and Shen Xin hugged each other at noon, and both of them actually thought about the baby.
She had to admire this extension ability.
Lin Xiaojuan glanced at her and said, "Isn't this for your own good? What if you don't have children? What will you do when you get old?"
When it comes to children, parents always have surprisingly similar ideas.
Song Yue understood the thinking of Lin Xiaojuan's generation. She didn't directly refute it, nor did she agree. She just said, "Xiaojiu is just like us normal people."
In one sentence, Lin Xiaojuan finally put her mind at ease.
In the living room, Ana Shen even saw with her own eyes that Lin Xiaojuan, who was frowning three minutes ago, smiled like a flower three minutes later and returned to the master bedroom as if she had won the lottery.
Being able to reassure the two elders, Ana Shen’s thoughts couldn’t help but rise.
He lowered his head and looked at his hands and legs. Everything was normal.
The main system is very lazy and stingy, and it is impossible for it to use the energy it has worked so hard to accumulate to make a human-shaped shell.
These shells were collected by 001 from other worlds. The souls of the original owners had dissipated, and only these bodies were left. 001 told them that it would be a waste to leave them alone, so it would be better to pick them up, wash them, and sell them as shells.
Whichever subsystem you like, you can buy it with your own money.
At the beginning, many subsystems scoffed at 001's approach, saying that it was crazy enough to act as the main system's lackey and would not even let go of such peripheral businesses.
Who would have thought that despite all the roaring, on the first day the shell went online, the ones who were the quickest to take action were those who roared the loudest.
Shen Xin was also one of the people who rushed to buy the tickets, and he managed to grab one before it was sold out.
He was quite satisfied with this shell. It was white and clean, with regular facial features. Most importantly, after getting his own memories from the ball of light, he realized that this shell looked very similar to his original self.
Maybe this is fate.
He lost his eyes, but gained a human body in another way.
Relying on this similarity, he always reminded himself that since he failed to protect her in his previous life, he must do his best to protect her life in this life.
After receiving Song Yue's reassurance, Lin Xiaojuan happily began to prepare dinner for the evening after lunch.
She knew that Ana Shen didn’t need to eat, but who made her happy couldn’t help but busy herself in the kitchen.
Song Yue had no choice but to smile and shake her head and follow her mother.
Song Tianyuan finally couldn't stay idle in the house, turned off the computer, walked to the living room, and pointed at Shen Xin: "You, come here, arm wrestle with me, two out of three games. You don't have to deliberately let me, just use all your strength."
Song Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Dad is having an arm wrestling match.
But since his father was interested, he didn't refuse, so he gave Shen Xin a look and let him play freely.
Ana Shen wiped his hands a little nervously and put his elbows on the dining table awkwardly.
Song Tianyuan was quite relaxed. He held onto his hand with a confident look on his face. "I watched a professional arm wrestling video this afternoon. There are some techniques here. I didn't understand them before, but now I've figured them out. I'm sure you can do it. Come on, Xiaojiu, let go."
Hearing Song Tianyuan's movement, Lin Xiaojuan immediately came out of the kitchen, still holding an unformed dough in her hand: "Hey, I say you are really something, losing to Xiaoyue in the morning was not enough, why are you coming here in the afternoon?"
Song Tianyuan smiled mysteriously and took his stance: "You don't understand, this time I'll be professional."
Lin Xiaojuan didn't bother to argue with him and rolled her eyes: "Okay, you're professional. Then I'll be the referee this time."
Everything is ready, let's start from three, two, one.
Two arms on the table were struggling at the same time.
Song Yue watched with a smile on his face. He had to admit that Song Tianyuan was indeed a bit more professional this time than in the morning.
Just a little.
After that, no matter how hard Song Tianyuan tried, the hand holding him on the table was like a sculpture, without any shaking.
Lin Xiaojuan wanted to laugh when she saw this, but because Shen Xin was present, she gave Song Tianyuan this face and did not completely expose herself.
But anyone with a discerning eye could see that Song Tianyuan still had no chance of winning this time.
After all, in the face of absolute strength, any skill is just a trifle.
Soon Song Tianyuan ran out of strength and admitted defeat.
After a few minutes of rest, Song Tianyuan spontaneously called for the second round.
The ending was no surprise.
He still hadn't broken Shen Xin.
Not only did he fail to win, but he also lost in exactly the same way as in the morning's game. He didn't suppress him, nor did he let his wrist turn back. He controlled the game the entire time, which was like killing someone!
Song Tianyuan sighed, his face half melancholy and half happy.
He was sad that he couldn't compete with the young people because he was old, but he was happy that these two children were more capable than he had imagined.
Lianlian sighed in his heart, and suddenly, he thought of something. His eyes rolled and he said, "Hey, you two are so strong, why don't you two compete with one?"
Lin Xiaojuan glared at him, "Are you done yet? Just go play by yourself, why are you pitting these two kids against each other?"
Song Tianyuan snorted, "How can this be called opposition? This is called family entertainment, which is beneficial to physical and mental health."
Song Yue smiled and continued, "It's okay, Mom. I'm bored at home anyway, so let's just have some fun."
Moreover, she was indeed curious about who was more powerful between her and Shen Xin.
In the future, when she first joined the Investigation Bureau, she knew nothing and was a complete novice. Later, she experienced many things, and coupled with the many hardships in the copy in this life, she thought, she should be able to compare with the other party, right?
Seeing that she was interested, Ana Shen did not refuse, but went straight to her and held her hand.
A tingling sensation spread from the palm of her hand. Song Yue smiled and said, "Are you ready?"
Shen Xin arched his eyebrows and said, “I’m ready.”
Lin Xiaojuan gave an order.
Song Yue immediately exerted force without hesitation!
The person opposite her also suddenly exerted force like her.
Lin Xiaojuan was stunned watching from the side. These two kids were really ruthless.
Song Tianyuan touched his wrist awkwardly. Wow, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, it turned out that they both gave him a lot of fluids!
He thought that he couldn't beat the opponent, and that he was only short of 10% or 20% of strength. But now it seems that he only has that 10% or 20%, not even a fraction of the other person's strength!
The battle on the table continues.
Song Yue's face turned visibly red, and her clenched knuckles turned slightly white.
Shen Xin's face was also tense, and sweat was slightly on his forehead.
Lin Xiaojuan was watching with great interest at first, but gradually she got tired of it, and the two of them still hadn't decided the winner.
"Okay, you two continue, I'm going to knead the dough."
Song Tianyuan's waist also hurt from standing so much, so he waved his hand and said, "I'll go in and lie down for a while. You two should take it easy and don't get hurt."
The onlookers dispersed, and Song Yue smiled faintly: "Do you want to compete again?"
She was looking forward to seeing Ana Shen admit defeat.
Unexpectedly, the other party pulled her back!
Song Yue stumbled forward, and before she could adjust her body, she fell into his arms.
