[Host, get up! Are you trying to smother yourself?]
"Huh?" Su Chen opened her eyes and found herself completely buried in someone's back, including her head.
No wonder I couldn't breathe in my dream!
[Hey host, you're such a restless sleeper. The moment there's a sliver of light, your head automatically buries itself in your back. I'm worried you'll suffocate, so I'm waking you up.]
"Oh." Su Chen's reaction was indifferent.
The system sent an emoji of two index fingers touching and bowing their heads together: "I think you'll thank me, host."
"Ah, thank you." The tone remained flat.
"Hmph, host doesn't want to thank me at all!" the system said rather charmingly.
"Aren't you a man? Why do you act like an old woman all the time? I remember you weren't this effeminate when I first bonded with you, right?" Su Chen rolled her eyes.
"I don't know who it was, but they used to call themselves 'Dad'."
[Huh? Really? Who is it?] The system is playing dumb.
“You,” Su Chen said with certainty.
【Huh? Me? No! Definitely not! I bet it was that big turtle who said it.】
"System, you changed your name?"
【No. 】
“It’s been changed to a giant turtle.” As soon as she finished speaking, Su Chen burst out laughing, and the laughter only intensified.
【Woman, you've gone too far~ I don't even know if I should tell you or not…】The system deliberately paused here to keep us in suspense.
"Tell me what?" Su Chen's attitude changed completely.
[One good news and one bad news.]
"No, why do you all have this problem with how you talk? If you have news, just say it directly. Why do you have to use all this 'good news' and 'bad news' stuff?" Su Chen was very angry.
[This system doesn't care. Just tell me if you want to hear the good news or the bad news first?]
"Can we say it all at once?" Su Chen was already impatient folding the blankets, and having to straighten the corners made her even more annoyed, and now the system was nagging in her ear...
Okay, I'll give it a try.
So, not long after, Su Chen heard a sound in both of her ears at the same time, and the sound was equally loud, so... she couldn't hear either of the sounds clearly.
"Never mind, let's start with the bad news."
The bad news is that the villain's corruption level has increased again.
Su Chen covered her head.
The good news is that a mission has arrived!
Today's task: Show affection with the villain.
Experience points: 55
"Wait, you mentioned experience points and I suddenly remembered! What about the 50 experience points I promised the villain for that mission?"
"Here you go," the system declared confidently.
There was no notification!
[Alright, congratulations, host, you have gained 50 experience points.]
Su Chen scratched his head. Are systems this arbitrary nowadays?
However... in the end, the system will definitely reimburse her, so the total amount will be the same when she calculates it.
"But... System, what are your standards for showing affection?"
[It means that almost everyone in the class knows.]
"Not just sweet nothings and hugging?" It's that simple?
[Host! I know you really want to get close to the villain! But look at the setting! It's a school! Is it appropriate for you to do these things on campus?] The system adopted a lecturing tone.
Su Chen nodded, automatically omitting the words "want to get close to the villain".
"It's definitely inappropriate to do this in front of everyone on campus." Besides... she didn't want to get close to that guy; maintaining a facade was enough.
【Okay, okay.】The system was very pleased, as if its own child had grown up overnight.
Best of luck!
