"Okay, okay, I accept."
Whether or not one accepts the offer is one thing, whether or not one can actually finish it is another.
The system, as if to kill time, reminded you: "Host, you will lose experience points if you don't complete it."
Su Chen: "System, I suspect you can read minds."
"No. But I must warn you, you don't have many experience points, probably not enough to cover the deductions."
How many experience points will you lose?
System: "That's not necessarily true. If you don't perform well or even make things worse, you'll lose more points than you originally would. In other words, you might end up back to square one, or even worse."
Su Chen curled her lip: "Could it be worse than zero?"
The system confirmed: "Yes, negative numbers."
Well, she underestimated the system's true nature.
But life is about excitement and adventure, you can't go wrong with that.
"Just tell me about the side quests."
"Ding: Side quest - Help Wu Ling reconcile with her husband."
Su Chen picked at her ear and said, "System, did I hear that right? I'll help my in-laws reconcile?"
The system sent a nodding emoji.
"Speaking of which... it's none of my business what they do, right? Knowing Ms. Wu's personality, if I were to act as a peacemaker, she'd probably get angry at me." After observing for a short time, Su Chen was certain that Ms. Wu would do just that.
"Whatever, the side quest is out now. You have to do it whether you want to or not!"
The system is like a miserly tyrant.
"Okay, okay, okay! I know!" Su Chen said impatiently.
This side quest is indeed called a side quest; it has absolutely nothing to do with the main storyline.
I heard Song Ming mention it yesterday, but I didn't expect that Ms. Wu actually had a fight with her husband.
What should we do...? I've got it!
Immediately, Su Chen took out her phone and sent a message to Song Ming: "Do you want Mom to come home? Do you want Mom and Dad to make up?"
Soon after, a text message notification sounded on the phone. Su Chen took out her phone, and her boss replied, "What's up?"
"So, do you want to?"
"Anything is fine."
"Huh? You want to share a room with me?"
"..."
Since Song Ming didn't reply, Su Chen took it as a tacit agreement.
Since Ms. Wu has a fiery temper, she decided to use a feint.
Song Ming came home very early today, probably because his mother was home and he felt bad about coming home late.
As soon as he entered, Su Chen was very attentive, carrying his bag and hanging up his clothes. Song Ming was so unaccustomed to this that he almost wore leather shoes into the house.
Ms. Wu didn't feel anything special; she just thought their relationship had improved and was genuinely happy for them.
"Honey, I made your favorite A5 steak today!" Actually, she had no idea what Song Ming liked to eat; she only found out by asking the kitchen.
She went to see the A5 beef, and it was truly the best-looking meat she had ever seen in her life. The fat and lean meat were evenly distributed, and the fat looked as if it had been drawn with a fine pen.
She almost cut off a piece and ate it raw, but she held back because there were people in the kitchen.
Once everyone was seated at the table, He Luo saw that the beef had been pan-fried into steak, and it smelled incredibly delicious. She couldn't resist picking up her knife and fork, but seeing that Song Ming and Ms. Wu hadn't touched it, she didn't either.
Ms. Wu asked, "Su Chen, why aren't you eating?"
Su Chen smiled, thinking to herself, "If you're not going to eat, how can I dare to eat?"
"However, this A5 steak is indeed greasy. Although it's supposed to melt in your mouth, it gets cloying after a while. This portion is just right," Ms. Song commented.
Su Chen smiled obsequiously on the surface, but in her heart she was thinking that the meat was so good that she wouldn't get tired of it, and besides, how could a normal person eat enough of this amount?
