Naughty Kid

The system noticed that Lu Lingyue was finally starting to panic, and it smugly decided to build up the suspense.

"I won't tell you. If you're so smart, then guess. If you get it right, I'll tell you!"

"Great, I wasn't planning on completing any weird tasks anyway, so just go away."

Lu Lingyue, who had been sitting up straight, slumped back onto the bed.

"You! How could you do this! Aren't you supposed to be super curious and insist on questioning me?!"

Now it was the system's turn to panic. It wasn't happy with Lu Lingyue's reaction at all!

But Lu Lingyue didn't care what the system said. She calmly responded, "If you're not assigning anything, then why should I be nervous?"

Hearing this, the system took a deep breath and angrily shouted.

"Fine! You've really pushed my buttons! I'm going to make your task harder!"

Lu Lingyue: ?

"You can just change the difficulty of my tasks on your own?! What kind of unscrupulous system are you?!"

"Who told you not to talk properly to me? Serves you right! Hehehe!"

"Untrustworthy system! You must look really shady!"

"Ugh! I'm not shady at all! I'm as fair as can be!"

"I don't believe you, unless you show me!"

"You... I wouldn't do that!"

At the end, it seemed like the system was embarrassed, muttering in a quieter voice.

"Alright, alright! I don't have time to chat with you. I need to sleep for my beauty rest. Anyway, your task is to make a trendy makeover video and post it. The number of fans must reach three thousand!"

The system forced the mood back to business and said seriously.

"Three thousand?! Are you joking?! Last time it was only one hundred, and now you're asking for three thousand?!"

Lu Lingyue sat up in shock, wide-eyed.

"Hehe, this is what happens when you mess with me!"

The system grinned and returned to its usual playful attitude.

"Hey! What about the reward for the task I completed last time? You haven't given it to me yet!"

Lu Lingyue had no idea when the system would appear again, so she hurriedly took the chance to ask.

"What? I can't hear you!"

Before Lu Lingyue could even respond, the system vanished in a flash, just like a deadbeat who gets up and leaves without a word!

Left alone, Lu Lingyue sat on the bed, feeling like she wanted to cry.

"What kind of doggone system did I get stuck with..."

With a sense of despair, Lu Lingyue lay back on her bed, her eyes unfocused and dull.

Suddenly, the door to her room opened.

In walked Lu Xiaoxue, freshly out of the shower, wearing a soft pink lace nightgown.

Her silver-white hair, just dried, cascaded down smoothly like a waterfall, and her blue eyes were even clearer now.

The nightgown fluttered lightly, with the hem hanging near Lu Xiaoxue's smooth thighs, revealing long, slender legs and a pair of fluffy pink bunny slippers.

"What are you doing barging into someone else's room again?"

Lu Lingyue quickly wrapped herself tighter in the blanket, almost wanting to shrink into the corner of the wall.

"Lingyue's room is my room."

Lu Xiaoxue flashed a mysterious smile, saying something unreasonable.

Lu Lingyue took a deep breath.

Ever since she became a girl, Lu Xiaoxue had been coming in and out of her room all the time. Lu Lingyue was even considering whether she should buy a lock for her door!

"But this time, I've got something important to tell you."

Lu Xiaoxue sat on the bed—the same bed Lu Lingyue had spent countless hours causing trouble on.

"That is…"

Lu Xiaoxue paused, not continuing.

Lu Lingyue: ??? Oh great, now you're copying the system, huh?

Unfortunately, that's just what she thought in her head. She didn't dare say it out loud, not in front of Lu Xiaoxue.

She was worried about what strange things Lu Xiaoxue might do!

After all, this woman was different from the system. Not only could she physically interact with her, but she seemed to be hiding something secret... So, definitely not someone to mess with!

"Aren't you curious, Lingyue?"

As expected, Lu Xiaoxue asked the same question as the system!

But unlike the system, Lu Xiaoxue was moving closer and closer to her!

Lu Xiaoxue kept getting closer, and Lu Lingyue kept retreating. Finally, with no room left to back up, Lu Lingyue found herself trembling in the corner.

"I... I'm curious! What's this important thing?"

Upon hearing her response, Lu Xiaoxue finally stopped and smiled.

"Tomorrow, my editor might come over, so I need you to make three lunch portions. My editor doesn't know how to cook."

As soon as Lu Lingyue heard "editor," her mind immediately triggered a memory.

Lu Xiaoxue's editor was named Xie Shuangning—she was the typical "cool woman" type, wearing frameless glasses, with her black hair tied back in a neat ponytail, and her purple eyes exuded a captivating charm.

Xie Shuangning's body was different from a girl's—she was full-figured, with curves in all the right places. She usually wore a tight black skirt and stockings, giving off an incredibly sexy vibe!

Lu Lingyue had met her once when she answered the door. In that moment, she could have sworn she saw a tear in the corner of Xie Shuangning's eye.

But when Lu Lingyue tried to take a closer look, Xie Shuangning had already returned to normal, and there was a hint of distaste in her gaze.

The only exchange they'd had was:

"Is Lu Xiaoxue home?"

"She's here."

And that was it. They had no further interaction.

But Lu Lingyue always felt like Xie Shuangning disliked her for some reason, though she couldn't pinpoint why.

"Oh, okay."

Lu Lingyue nodded, agreeing to Lu Xiaoxue's request.

"The house's groceries are probably low, so I'll go buy some tomorrow morning."

Lu Xiaoxue tilted her head, looking a little troubled.

"Lingyue, do you mind going alone? I need to catch up on some work tomorrow morning, so I might not have time to go with you."

Lu Lingyue's red eyes instantly lit up.

"Such a good... huh?! No, no problem. I can go alone. The supermarket's just downstairs."

Lu Xiaoxue gazed at Lu Lingyue with her beautiful blue eyes and smiled.

"So, what were you going to say just now?"

Lu Lingyue felt a sudden sense of dread. Her instincts told her that Lu Xiaoxue was about to pull off something strange again!
