Ke Meiyu was startled and couldn't help but walk out of the corridor. Turning around, she saw a group of children dressed in tuxedos and princess dresses forming a circle at the bottom of the steps, throwing cakes and apples at the center. Some of them even smashed wine glasses hard, making a crisp cracking sound.
She was tall, and after taking a few more steps, she saw a child sitting on the ground with his hands on the ground and his head down.
He remained silent, his body covered in cake, his lips bruised from being hit by a hard object, and his hands and cheeks stained with blood from broken glass!
Why are kids these days so unlikable?
They're so young, yet they harbor such malice!
Ke Meiyu gritted her teeth. Although she knew no one could see her, she couldn't help but playfully feign panic and shout, "Oh no! A zombie is biting people! Run!"
She shouted as she grabbed her skirt and rushed out.
The expected scenario of passing through the children did not occur; she actually bumped into a boy.
Ke Meiyu's forehead throbbed with pain, and her eyes reddened. However, the other person was not having an easy time either, with blood gushing from their nose. The group of children around them were frightened and were soon taken away by the servants.
Before leaving, the group of kids said menacingly, "You little bastard, as long as you stay, you'll get beaten up every day!"
Ke Meiyu rubbed her forehead, belatedly looking down at her clothes, and then at her chubby little pig feet that had shrunk several sizes.
She...she's turned into a child?
She was on the steps, so she had a good view...
This is truly a dream, far too unrestrained.
Ke Meiyu didn't dwell on it too much. Instead, she looked around, then scurried over to the table in the yard and gathered a stack of wet handkerchiefs with their outer packaging.
In any case, she didn't need to change clothes or take a shower in her dream, so after cleaning up the glass shards, Ke Meiyu plopped down next to the boy, opened a pack of wet handkerchiefs, and started wiping him from his hair.
The boy remained motionless, like a wooden sculpture. If it weren't for his slight breath tickling her face, she would have suspected he was an intelligent NPC.
"My name is Yu Bao'er, what's your name?" Ke Meiyu has become a bit talkative since her rebirth and can't stand quiet. She said in a soft, childlike voice, "Why didn't you dodge? It must hurt a lot to get hit."
"If they hit you again, you should tell an adult and find their parents in front of many people."
"These people are extremely concerned about their image; they'll definitely go home and discipline their kids. And you should also tell them that if anything happens to you later, you'll blame them. After all, their family is powerful and influential, and they love settling scores later!"
"Can you write? If you can, write down the names of the people who bullied you and tell the adults. They'll give it to the police so that if you bump into something, get hurt, or go missing, they can check on you one by one..."
"Yes, it should also be handed over to journalists who aren't afraid of suppression. With one copy for their opponents, and multiple layers of protection, no one will dare to cause you any more trouble!"
People in wealthy families love to save face, but beneath the glamorous facade lies a rotten core.
She recalled the scene she had just witnessed, and the child who was still standing there, stunned.
Ke Meiyu sighed slightly. Without even guessing, this must be some family's newly adopted illegitimate child.
“I know you’re going through a tough time right now, but it’s wrong for you to let them bully you!”
"If you don't fight back fiercely, they'll get used to bullying you, and you'll develop a bad personality when you grow up. There's a saying, 'Either you explode in silence or you perish in silence!'"
"Look how brave I was just now, I scared them all away, didn't I? You're still young, so use your brain more. You can actually avoid many things."
She had already wiped the little boy's face clean.
Ke Meiyu picked up the boy with satisfaction and admired him from all sides. Suddenly, she felt that this exquisite and handsome boy was inexplicably familiar.
"Get lost! It's not like you're the one being bullied. You don't need my kindness!"
The boy then shoved her to the ground, stood up, glared at her fiercely, and ran away.
Ke Meiyu pressed her hand on the shards of glass that hadn't been cleaned up, blood gushing out, but she opened her eyes wide. This brat who took her kindness for granted was acting like a big shot!
That's right. Although she and the big boss didn't have much of a relationship before the apocalypse, after she was taken in, the big boss gave her a thin photo album in order to help her understand him better and develop feelings for him. She looked at it with every meal.
There aren't many photos in total; he takes almost one a year, with the same background and the same expression. It's so boring that it makes her eat two bowls of rice less.
Opening her eyes, Ke Meiyu was still somewhat dazed. She gritted her teeth and shouted, "Xiao Wen, you come out here for me!"
The system responded weakly, "Good morning, host~"
"What the hell?" Ke Meiyu was still panting heavily, unable to calm down. "What was that dream I just had? Why did I dream about Ying Yan when he was a child?"
She is usually hardworking and positive. Even after the apocalypse, under the protection of the powerful, she remains a beautiful sunflower, holding onto her pitiful bottom line.
After her rebirth, she experienced no misfortune whatsoever, spending each day laughing and joking, and almost never thinking of this person, as she deliberately avoided him.
At this moment, she was unusually tinged with gloom and sadness.
"I don't know either. Maybe the task system is malfunctioning?" Xiao Wen quickly replied. "This system, like the human brain, is not only complex after being developed by programmers, but also has many unpredictable factors."
Ke Meiyu gripped the blankets tightly, her lips pressed together in silence, before she asked in a low, hoarse voice, "So, will I still dream about him in the future?"
"Perhaps. Maybe the host is thinking about it during the day and dreaming about it at night, so the system is giving this gift?"
Xiao Wen sensed the host's emotions and hesitantly added, "The system is actually quite humane. It accepts the peace points the host earns and will reward the host according to their wishes."
Can I refuse?
"No, in other words, this is a byproduct of the mission, just like the original fate of Lu Yuehai that the host dreamed about before."
Ke Meiyu placed a hand on her chest and said calmly, "One last question: Was what happened to Ying Yan in the dream real?"
"Of course, everything produced by the system is of the highest quality and will not fool the host," Xiao Wen replied cautiously, even though he was proud, he did not dare to provoke the host who was on the verge of exploding.
"Step back," Ke Meiyu took a deep breath, blocking Xiao Wen away, and gazing at the pale morning light outside the window, she murmured with a complicated expression, "Ying Yan, you really are everywhere, even after I've been reborn."
Because of this, she was listless all morning.
Remembering that she had promised to cook for Qin Yuanjiu yesterday, she mustered her spirits and went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables.
