Number One Dad
The system struggled to organize its thoughts; how could it possibly say it? It was so painful; it felt like it was about to develop a brain.
"Even though people know that Lingling is a bit clumsy, Xiaoluo is such a generous girl, and this is the first time Xiaoluo has made a good friend!"
The little girl's eyes sparkled as she happily hugged the screen to her chest, promising, "Don't worry, System brother, I will definitely cherish the Lingling you gave birth to."
The system glanced at the child whose eyes were sparkling, then hesitated, as if about to speak. After reviewing the auxiliary tools again, the system data began to distort.
What to do? This is a child's innocent heart. Does he, 0345, have to be as heartless as the main department... cough cough, and hurt the child's heart?
In a state of great distress, the system, taking advantage of the fact that the connection had not yet been severed, decisively passed the problem on to its immediate supervisor.
"…Useless." That was the two words the main system used to describe his boss.
A pair of large hands suddenly appeared in front of the child and easily took away the subsystem in front of her.
Little Luo obediently let go and greeted sweetly, "It's big brother!"
"No," a faint male voice said elegantly, "it's little brother Sang."
The system was speechless. You're really bored, making up couplets here.
Younger brother? A big question mark popped into the little girl's mind. The voice sounded like her older brother's good friend.
But he said he was Xiao Luo's younger brother, and Xiao Luo had never met her younger brother before!
"Hello, little brother!" the child said loudly, trying to contain his excitement.
The main system is currently undergoing upgrades and transformations of its subsystems: ...
He paused for a moment, then overwhelming sadness surged within him: "I kindly helped you make your good friend smarter, and you repaid kindness with enmity, bullying the strong, refusing to help the elderly, and oppressing the weak—you are utterly devoid of conscience."
The child was stunned for a moment after being suddenly labeled with such a huge accusation, his blank stare glazing over.
She just said hello to her younger brother, is it really that serious?
[Yes, it's that serious.] The main system said without batting an eye. [I'm heartbroken, I'm upset, I need compensation. You can't resolve this without calling me "sister-in-law."]
"Big brother, do you want dumplings?" Xiao Luo asked instinctively.
Easily transforming Zero into artificial intelligence, the main system rotated the screen in its hand, wondering: "Dumplings?"
"Mmm, nothing tastes better than dumplings, and nothing's more fun than your sister-in-law."
The little boy nodded earnestly and excitedly tried to explain his understanding of the sentence to the older boy, "Big brother, don't be so polite with Xiao Luo! Xiao Luo is willing to trade dumplings for your sister-in-law..."
However, her older brother didn't want to understand. The person opposite him expressionlessly tossed back a zero and coldly declared: "I will never forgive you! Never!!"
"Big brother is so stingy," the little girl muttered, hugging Lingling who floated in front of her.
A happy expression appeared on the tablet: 【Hello host, I'm Lingling.】ヾ(^▽^*)))
“Xiao Luo is wrong,” the little girl corrected earnestly, “Xiao Luo just lost the chance to tease her sister-in-law and is very sad.”
Just as Zero was about to offer some comfort, after understanding the meaning behind the host's words, the data became erratic.
After a moment of silence, Lingling pretended not to hear and changed the subject: "It's still early, would you like to go out and play with me, Host?"
The child's attention was instantly diverted. "Let's go out and play! Where are we going to play?" she asked excitedly.
Lingling smiled broadly and suggested, "We can go play with Little Luo's dad!"
Little Luo's excited expression vanished instantly. Oh, she was looking for Little Luo's dad, the dad who had a math teacher by his side (emphasis) but went off to play math games by himself (emphasis).
"Xiao Luo should stay at home."
Zero Zero: ...
Zero Zero, created to keep children company, has a special communication system, but now its data packets seem to be unable to communicate with children.
The tablet displayed a hesitant expression, its data momentarily jumbled, and then thoughtfully replied: "Okay, it's still early, let's learn based on the joy created by Zero's creator..."
Let's learn happily together!
Xiao Luo: ……
"Liar! Studying is never fun!! Xiao Luo wants to go out! I want to go play with my brother and dad!"
*
Looking at the dimly lit wooden house, and Xiao Luo who stepped out without hesitation.
Lingling couldn't understand why the host would enter this place, which was like something out of a horror movie, just to escape studying.
If Xiao Luo heard this, the child would seriously tell her, "As for it!"
For struggling students, as long as they can do other things during study time, that's all they need.
Even if it's just manual labor, I'm happy right now.
The little girl looked around curiously, then excitedly waved her arms and legs, and with a shout, rushed down the dimly lit stairs, "Lingling, come quick, this place is so much fun!"
Lingling hesitated for a long time behind him until the host's figure was about to disappear into the darkness.
The screen, in despair, closed its eyes and rushed forward: [Host, wait for me! Let me stay inside your body.]
The dimly lit basement was completely dark, and Lingling, frightened, used a flashlight outside, its light, visible only to children, reaching into the underground.
The little girl skipped and hopped happily down the slope. "There are so many grapevines here! Lingling, do you think there might be grape monsters down there?"
Lingling clung tightly to its host, wishing it could escape as quickly as possible, shutting down all sensory data!
Super Zero Zero, start!
[Host, don't worry! Raisins, mango pomelo, nothing!]
Xiao Luo's rapid running slowed to a stop. She stared intently at the scene in the basement, blinking, "Lingling..."
After a brief hesitation, he peeked out.
At the very bottom of the basement, a huge grapevine was tightly entwined around a teenager. His two-tone hair hung limply over his face, and his limbs were pinned to the wall by the grapevine.
Zero Zero immediately realized something was wrong. [Host, what is he doing...]
"Princess!"
【Wh-what?】Lingling didn't react.
The little girl next to her stared intently at Yumeno Kyusaku, her emerald green eyes slowly brightening. She spoke clearly and distinctly: "Princess! The princess imprisoned by the evil Willow Branch Dew monster!"
Zero Zero: ...
It tried to explain something, but the child held it down firmly.
The child looked more like a ghost than a ghost at that moment, with eerie green eyes and a mouth that was almost turned up to the sky.
The princess was imprisoned by a monster, and I am the one who will save her. So what is she?
Xiao Luo grinned, her voice trembling, "Lingling, I used to be just like my brother, Xiao Luo is a warrior!!"
Zero Zero: ...
