“[Host, what do you want to do?]”

Although the system was already used to the host’s ability to cause trouble, when it came to the female lead, it was still nervous because it involved the stability of the world.

“I’m just happy to meet a new friend, why are you suddenly asking?” Sheng Xia innocently asked back, then exclaimed, “Did you hear that? She praised me for having a unique beauty. She’s really an honest and good friend.”

She has always been able to appreciate her own beauty, that’s right, she’ll just accept compliments like this from now on!

Sheng Xia couldn’t help but feel delighted.

The system was half-believing: [Is that so?]

“Of course it’s true, and she didn’t approach me first, saying she liked me and that we got along well, didn’t she?”

Sheng Xia tilted her head slightly, seeming skeptical, “Wait a minute, didn’t Bai Jing say something similar when we first met? But I didn’t see you nervously questioning that. But why with Yan Jing, there’s this kind of reaction, are you…discriminating?”

System: ?

Not understanding how it became discrimination, it tried to defend itself: [No, Host, I didn’t…]

“Just because she’s the male lead’s ex-wife, does that mean we can’t be friends?”

Sheng Xia disagreed, interrupting it, and paused before suddenly looking enlightened, “Ah, I see now! In the end, it’s because you still don’t trust me, right?”

She accused, immediately sighed in extreme sadness, “I really didn’t expect that, you still distrust me until now, how sad for you, my dear partner.”

The system completely didn’t react: [….]

Sheng Xia repeated loudly, “So! Sad! Oh!”

Top of Form

Here is the translation of the text:

[System: ….]

“So, sad—”

The host’s increasingly loud voice was making the system dizzy. Listening to her words, the system’s CPU seemed to be overheating, and its thoughts were getting more tangled.

Realizing that it was impossible to argue with the host, it could only wave the white flag and weakly apologize: [Yes, I’m sorry, but I really didn’t distrust you…]

Or perhaps, it was just that it trusted the host too much in repeatedly jumping over the mission’s bottom line, using her ability to make waves, which made it afraid…

Thinking this way, it couldn’t help but mutter softly: [The host is really unreasonable.]

“What did you say, System?”

[Nothing! I said I trust the host.] The system quickly changed its tune, politely emphasizing, [But I also hope the host can realize that the plot of the variety show must be completed, including the relationship between the female lead and Shi Yue as stepmother and son.]

“Of course, I remember. This is our mission.” Sheng Xia’s tone carried a hint of displeasure, but she smiled sweetly, “Really, even if I want to stay here, I will try my best to complete it for you, too. I love my partner so much, how could I deliberately sabotage it, right?”

The system was confused by her sweet words, even though it knew she was not sincere. But the CPU couldn’t help but feel hot and dizzy.

Although it still felt something was wrong, since the host had agreed, it didn’t want to pursue it further.

So it just cleared its throat and tried to respond calmly, but it felt a bit uncomfortable: [Yes, yes, I was wrong to suspect you, I’m sorry.]

Sheng Xia: ^_^

Seeing that she could still easily deceive the System, Sheng Xia felt relieved.

She turned her gaze back to Yan Jing, who seemed unaware, still smiling as she introduced her travel works, and narrowed her black eyes slightly.

She had only promised the System to maintain the plot points until the end of the show. But now that “Super Mom” was down to its last episode and Yan Jing had taken the initiative to come, it was all destined by the world’s guidance.

However, the specifics would depend on what Yan Jing herself thought.

“You should remember this piece, Shaoyun. It’s what won me the gold award in the last competition. But I also have to thank my agent, who constantly promoted me, to finally gain recognition from those people.”

As if sensing Sheng Xia’s gaze, Yan Jing, who was explaining to Feng Shaoyun, suddenly looked back sharply, coincidentally meeting her beautiful black eyes.

She was slightly stunned, and the slightly sharp gaze softened instantly. She blinked, her eyes filled with a smile, silently asking “are you bored?”

Sheng Xia’s lips curled up in a faint smile as she changed the subject, “So, Miss Yan also has an agent?”

Yan Jing nodded, “When I first went abroad, I didn’t know anything, I just buried myself in painting. It was thanks to meeting him that my works gradually gained acceptance and I started to become a bit famous.”

“Every solo exhibition I’ve had was also organized by him, including this one.”

“Did you graduate and go abroad immediately, Miss Yan?”

Yan Jing seemed to remember something, and a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes. She shook her head calmly, “Actually, it’s a bit shameful to say, but after graduating, I wasted two full years before deciding to go abroad.”

Feng Shaoyun widened her eyes, a bit puzzled, “Miss Yan paints so well, why would you give up?”

“Because I believed too much in love when I was young.” Yan Jing joked self-deprecatingly, “Just because of a ‘I’ll take care of you, trust me,’ I ignored everything and married him, becoming a full-time housewife. In the end, I hit my head and bled, and finally woke up.”

“If you had met me back then, you would definitely have been disappointed in me.”

Feng Shaoyun never expected Yan Jing to have such an experience. She always appeared strong and decisive, the kind of person who wouldn’t stop for anyone.

What could she have gone through to become the way she is now?

Feng Shaoyun felt a bit confused and even empathized with her, feeling sorry for her.

“Oh, I know this one.” Sheng Xia suddenly looked enlightened, tapping her temple as if trying to catch something in the air, and made a gesture of grabbing her brain, “It’s like, the zombie takes a bite of your brain, tastes it, and suddenly says—”

She then turned serious, “No, love brain, zombies won’t eat.”

“—Like that?”

Feng Shaoyun: “…”

Yan Jing: “…”
