Qin Yiren was a very enthusiastic mother, which overwhelmed Xu Wenyin.
No matter how human-like she looked, she couldn’t hide that her essence was a system, a product of technology.
Therefore, when it comes to getting along with people, Xu Wenyin relied on textbooks and what her teachers have taught her.
Commonly known as talking on paper.
Before officially graduating, Xu Wenyin had two assessment tasks, which weren’t difficult at all, and were only E-level.
Xu Wenyin didn’t even need a physical body; she completed the tasks with just a few words of guidance in the target’s mind.
This was the first time she had a human body, and it was also the first time someone wanted to invite the mother and daughter to their house to hang out.
Let me go!
She only had twenty minutes left! There’s no time to visit another person’s house!
She couldn’t directly refuse by using violence. Not to mention there were other people around, and Youyou was watching her!
Xu Wenyin thought that Youyou’s image of her in her mind was a gentle and kind person. She couldn’t just destroy it at will.
But this doesn’t work and that doesn’t work, could she just pick up Youyou and run away?
Escaping might be shameful, but as long as it works.
As a conscientious and responsible system, Xu Wenyin not only memorized the whole 《Human Baby Manual》, a book that was 250MB in size, but also read 《The Art of Speaking》, 《How to Get Along with People》, 《The Middle-Aged Woman You Don’t Understand》 and so on after taking on this task!
This was a country that values the ways of the world. It didn’t matter if she was alone, but the main thing was Xu Youyou.
Xu Wenyin was worried that her poor handling of interpersonal relationships would harm Xu Youyou. That’s why she was a little restrained when facing these people who didn’t have any malicious intent, but she had no regard for people like the Zhou couple.
Why was human interaction so troublesome?
There was no such thing when it came to the systems. Once they rejected something, that was it.
Xu Wenyin was now able to understand the newly invented word of mankind—— Social anxiety
Socializing was a real pain!
Xu Wenyin was the type who could freely navigate the Internet and talk nonsense at will, but once she became a human being, she also became as quiet as a quail.
Except, of course, when it’s related to Xu Youyou.
She would end anyone who dared to interfere with her ability to complete her mission! Even the Emperor himself doesn’t scare her!
However, seeing that there were less than twenty minutes left for her transformation, and it would take about five minutes to walk home from where they were, it was best to reserve ten minutes just in case.
Xu Wenyin, who had been so ambitious just now, was instantly frightened.
Find a reason! Find an excuse!
The kind that would let them escape quickly without affecting neighbor relations.
“Mom, Youyou is sleepy.”
Xu Youyou’s words at this moment were like sweet dew falling from heaven, successfully saving Xu Wenyin.
“Ah, then Mom will take Youyou to bed~”
Xu Wenyin picked up Xu Youyou and showed a smile to Qin Yiren after sighing in relief. “Ms. Qin, let’s talk again another time if we have the chance.”
Another time + if there’s a chance was the best excuse for procrastination.
It’s written in 《The Art of Speaking》 that another time meant there’s no another time.
Qin Yiren also realized at this time that her behavior had been over the top. The two families had only met for ten minutes, so forcefully pulling people to visit her house was inappropriate.
She had been too eager!
Seeing Lu Chenjun’s rare change, this mother was inevitably a bit anxious.
It was only when she saw Xu Wenyin’s slightly distant look that Qin Yiren came back to her senses. “Apologies, it’s my bad.”
She quickly took out a handful of chocolate balls from an expensive-looking bag, full of apologies. “This can also be eaten by kids, give it to Youyou.”
Pity the heart of a parent. Instead of lipstick, checks, and other valuables, Qin Yiren’s bag was filled with sweets that children liked.
She had used all sorts of methods to get Lu Chenjun to make friends, but unfortunately, none of them worked well.
Xu Youyou’s appearance gave Qin Yiren hope again, but after she calmed down, she also knew that this matter couldn’t be rushed. Heaven has arranged for the mother and daughter to live next door to them. If she screwed it up, Qin Yiren would regret it for the rest of her life.
She’d think of them as ordinary friends first and wouldn’t meddle in the friendship between the children.
After inwardly deciding in her mind, Qin Yiren watched as Xu Wenyin and her daughter left. Qin Yiren didn’t immediately catch up. Instead, she looked at her son who had returned to his original position, and sat down to read again. She cautiously asked, “Juanjuan, do you want some water?”
Lu Chenjun nodded slightly but made no other movements.
She had to just get on with it and the little guy took a few sips obediently.
Would the little girl like dolls? Should she go buy some and put them at home? Maybe her son could even play house with Youyou.
———pr
Xu Youyou, who was completely unaware of what her newfound friend’s mother was planning, looked up at Xu Wenyin. “Mom, you don’t like Juanjuan?”
They were the only ones in the elevator, so Xu Youyou asked directly.
Perhaps it was a skill unique to fictional female protagonists, but Xu Youyou always detects things with her intuition.
For example, the Zhou couple in the beginning, or the fact that she could feel that Xu Wenyin was doing things for her own good, leading her to believe that Xu Wenyin was indeed her mother.
And right now, Xu Youyou’s intuition tells her that her mother doesn’t seem to like her new friend.
Her eyes were fixed on Xu Wenyin’s chin without blinking as if once her mother admitted it, she would immediately say goodbye to her new buddy.
There would always be other friends, but there would only be one mother.
Xu Youyou understand this very clearly!
“That’s not true.” Xu Wenyin led Xu Youyou out of the elevator, opened the door, and closed it behind them before disappearing.
There were exactly ten minutes left, and it was more than enough to heat Xu Youyou’s meal when it was time for dinner.
〖Does Youyou like that Xiao Juanmao(Llittle Curly)) a lot?〗 This time the voice came from Xu Youyou’s head.
Xu Youyou was already used to this kind of switching back and forth. She skillfully took off her shoes and coat, then went to the bathroom and washed her hands carefully while standing on a stool.
“Juanjuan looks pretty, like a doll. Youyou like pretty things.”
〖Xu Wenyin: ……〗
I didn’t know you’re like this Xu Youyou?! Thinking back, that scumbag’s face was indeed quite good-looking.
But good looks don’t mean everything! Especially in this kind of world inside a novel, where the more good-looking someone was, the more poisonous they generally were.
Afraid that Xu Youyou would be bewitched by the scumbag’s face in the future, Xu Wenyin quickly started the brainwashing process.
〖Youyou, a good-looking face is only superficial. When we interact with others, we must mainly look at the heart. Inner beauty is the most important thing.〗
Xu Wenyin was afraid Xu Youyou wouldn’t understand what inner beauty was. She wanted to use fairy tales to give Xu Youyou an example, but as a result, even after looking for a long time……
Damn it! Which of the male and female protagonists in fairy tales wasn’t handsome and beautiful?!
Even the beast turned into a handsome, rich, and powerful prince.
Xu Wenyin suddenly felt the world’s malice towards ordinary people and was unable to provide a suitable example.
Fortunately, Xu Youyou understood Xu Wenyin’s meaning very well. She nodded her head like a little adult and said, “Mom, I understand.”
In the orphanage, there was no shortage of children with physical disabilities. Grandma Wu had long taught them that they shouldn’t just look at people by their appearance, but should treat everyone equally. However, Xu Youyou’s answer just now was also the truest answer from her heart.
Xu Youyou and Lu Chenjun have only met once, wasn’t it a joke to try to make her discover Lu Chenjun’s inner beauty?
The most prominent impression of Lu Chenjun in Xu Youyou’s mind right now was that little head of curly hair that felt comfortable to the touch, which was exactly the same as a doll that Xu Youyou liked very much when she was in the orphanage!
But many children liked that doll as well and Xu Youyou wouldn’t cry and grab it along with them, so she didn’t manage to hold it much before it was completely damaged.
“Juanjuan also likes me, so we’re friends~”
Where did you get the idea that the boy who basically only said the words ‘Xiao Lu’ from beginning to end likes you?
Xu Wenyin wanted to ask but thought better of it.
If they weren’t moving places, there would still be many opportunities for their family to meet Lu Chenjun and his mother, so there’s no need to be at odds with each other straight away.
After all, the harm that Lu Chenjun might cause to Xu Youyou was only her speculation, and it might necessarily be to that extent. The most important thing at present is to settle the matter of Xu Youyou’s kindergarten enrollment this September.
The 《Human Baby Manual》 says that girls should study more, as well as get more exposure to the outside world so that they wouldn’t be deceived by scumbags with only a few sweet words.
Xu Youyou in the novel was just too kind. She mistakes the love of a scumbag for real love and doomed herself for the rest of her life.
This kindergarten wasn’t just about attending.
Xu Wenyin was a bachelor’s degree graduate from a well-known university. After her ‘resurrection’, the necessary documents were sent over one after another. She planned to settle in Jiang City with Xu Youyou.
In the past two years, in order to attract talents, Jiang City has allowed all those who have graduated from key universities to settle down directly. In this way, Xu Youyou’s problems in going to primary school, middle school, and so on were almost solved.
It’s just that this kindergarten……
〖Xu Wenyin: Would you like to go to kindergarten, Youyou? There will be many children the same age as you there, and you can also play a lot of games.〗
Xu Youyou’s gaze didn’t shift away from the TV, but she thoughtfully asked a question that only adults should consider, “Does kindergarten cost a lot of money? It’s okay if Youyou don’t go.”
None of the children in the orphanage had ever gone to kindergarten, and Xu Youyou also knew that going there costs money and that the orphanage was poor.
Although her mother is a fairy, she couldn’t use magic in the mortal world so she certainly doesn’t have much money. She needed to save!
Chicken legs or the like once a week was enough.
“Don’t worry, Mom has money!” Xu Wenyin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Due to the rules of this world, she couldn’t make a lot of money, but she wasn’t so poor that she couldn’t afford to raise her child.
Yesterday she sold another program and got about 30,000 yuan, which was much higher than what other workers out there make.
Xu Youyou was definitely going to kindergarten. Tomorrow, Xu Wenyin will go to Jiang City’s Administrative Service Center to ask for specifics.
It would be best to buy a car as it would save a lot of time on the road, and also……
All sorts of miscellaneous things were being arranged one by one in Xu Wenyin’s mind, but she still had extra time to answer Xu Youyou’s questions that popped up from time to time.
In this way, even if Xu Youyou was sitting on the sofa in the empty living room and watching children’s cartoons on TV alone, she wouldn’t feel lonely.
She was even happily swinging her legs while humming an unknown tune, and her whole body radiated joy.
It didn’t matter if she didn’t have any friends, as long as she could always be with her mother.
