Shi Xi immediately sat up straight and pricked up her ears.
This is a big deal!
Shi's father said, "Shengping and I have discussed it. Your engagement with Shengyan will remain unchanged. We will choose a suitable time for you to get engaged, and you will get married after you graduate."
As for Ning Yu, I will help her find a good marriage.
Sheng Ping is Sheng Yan's father, that bald uncle.
“Ning Yu is still young. If I meet a suitable young man, I will also help introduce her to someone,” Shi Xu added from the side.
"I'm still young. Isn't it too hasty to get engaged now?" Shi Xi protested softly.
Shi's mother laughed, "Didn't you like Sheng Yan the most? Now that the engagement is confirmed, are you shy again?"
Just as Shi Xi was about to bring up the matter of annulling the engagement, the system stopped her again.
System: [According to the plot, you cannot break off your engagement with Sheng Yan at this time.]
Shi Xi was furious: "Do I want to die or not? If I don't break off the engagement, am I destined to follow the same old path of throwing myself into the river to feed the fish?!"
System: [If you complete the female supporting character's storyline, I'll spare your life.]
Shi Xi hesitated, "Really?"
The system's tone was weak: "I'm not entirely sure either."
Shi Xi wanted to throw this system away.
The system quickly added: "But if you break off the engagement, you'll die right now."
Shi Xi thought for a moment, her face turning pale, "Then am I living a life of constant anxiety, not knowing where my next meal will come from?"
The system reassured Shi Xi, "Don't worry, I'll protect you until the fish-feeding plot point!"
Shi Xi: ...
What's the point of that?!
Aren't we all going to die anyway?!
"Then let's do it this way." Father Shi made the final decision, and before leaving, he asked Shi Xi for her opinion, "Xi Xi, what do you think?"
Shi, who was completely distracted by the system and didn't hear anything, said: "I have no objection."
You must obey your father 100% when he gives you money.
Although I didn't hear what my father said.
Mother Shi smiled brightly and gently, "If we're getting engaged next month, then I'll have to prepare properly!"
Shi Xi was completely confused: "Huh?"
"Your engagement banquet with Sheng Yan, you need to book the hotel and wedding dress in advance." Shi's mother was both pleased and reluctant, "I didn't expect to marry you off so soon."
Father Shi: "Our home and the Sheng family live so close together, we can let Xixi come home more often in the future."
Mother Shi: "Alright, I'll go see my future mother-in-law tomorrow and set a suitable date."
The two walked out of the study while talking.
Shi Xu also got up, patted Shi Xi's head, and sighed, "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, my little sister is getting married."
"My hair is freshly washed! Don't touch it!" Shi Xi protected her hair.
Shi Xu smiled and withdrew his hand, putting one hand in his pocket. "Alright, alright, get some rest."
Watching them leave one by one, Shi Xi also got up and went back to her room.
Back in her room, Shi Xi asked the system: "Did they say they'd get engaged next month in the study?"
System: [...It seems so.]
Shi Xi lay on the bed, her heart filled with endless sorrow.
The system reassured me: "Don't worry, I will do everything I can to protect your safety!"
Shi Xi had no faith in the system.
The system could read Shi Xi's thoughts and was speechless for a moment, so it could only offer encouragement and motivational platitudes: "Goodnight, host. The sun will still rise tomorrow!"
Shi Xi said weakly, "What goodnight? I can't sleep at all!"
Three minutes later.
Shi Xi breathed evenly and drifted off to sleep.
System: ...Damn it, this is what you call not being able to sleep? This is faster than me shutting down the computer!
