Chapter 155: The Girls in the Morning

In the morning, An Yu’s bedroom.

It was very quiet here—even without locking the door, no one came to attack An Yu.

The little girl with blue-white long hair on the bed slightly turned her body, her eyelashes trembling lightly.

It was already time for An Yu to get up—she had to go to school today too.

“Mm…”

An Yu whimpered, subconsciously rubbing her eyes.

For her, today was just another ordinary day.

Everything that happened with An Qing yesterday was just the most ordinary daily life.

It couldn’t make her change the trajectory of her life—nothing would change.

But she still hoped An Qing would be healthy.

Because being sick was very painful.

So…

“System, good morning.”

[Task completed: Say good morning to the System. Rewards are being settled.]

An Yu blinked expressionlessly, completely not understanding what had happened in that instant.

What did it mean by task completed?

“…..”

When did she get this task…?

Just as An Yu was puzzled, the System’s voice happened to sound.

[Host, congratulations on completing the first task!]

“Mm… System?”

[I’m here!]

System Miss’s voice sounded much more energetic than usual, even though she had rested very late last night.

It was as if she had been stimulated by something.

What exactly happened?

[Rewards settled: Some unknown repair material x1]

“Hmm?”

An Yu tilted her head puzzled—this series of system notifications, plus the more energetic than usual System, all made her a bit dazed.

[Ahem, Host, this is a special~ task that the System applied for the Host!]

The System deliberately emphasized the word “special,” her voice carrying a proud tone—if listened carefully, one could hear a bit of anticipation.

[As long as you have these materials, you can repair the hairpin on the Host’s head bit by bit!]

Hearing that, An Yu just blinked expressionlessly.

Then she nodded lightly.

“Oh.”

She didn’t seem to care much about the reward.

But An Yu knew it was nothing more than the System opening a small task similar to before.

Unrelated to An Qing or the plot, and the rewards were ordinary.

[……?!]

The System seemed completely unprepared for An Yu to react so calmly.

You know, that was a controllable mechanical bird—not to mention the System could possess it, just the fact that it could be manipulated at will was so cool!

And it could turn into a hairpin!

Convenient, practical… and fun!

An Yu silently stood up, no emotions fluctuating in her amber eyes.

“So, System, good morning.” She spoke softly.

[Ah… good morning, Host.]

An Yu nodded satisfied. “Mm.”

[……]

She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but System Miss felt that compared to the system rewards, An Yu seemed to care more about whether she got her morning greeting.

This, what to do now!

System Miss could only do so much—this was the result of her operating all night.

After all, there were only so many things in the pool—the reward pool was almost all repair materials.

An ordinary world—the completed tasks were also irrelevant things.

Everything was the System exploiting loopholes.

She had said last time that pleasing the System also counted as increasing survival probability.

So this time she expanded on that—unexpectedly, it really succeeded.

Then it became like this—she issued a row of small tasks for host and system interaction, completing them would give some rewards.

But no matter what, the things she could give were only this much—she had no authority for more.

While System Miss was feeling down, An Yu had already successfully changed clothes, left the room, and finished washing up.

As always, she ran into Wang Man waiting for her at the door.

“Good morning, Aunt Wang.”

“Ah, good morning, Miss An Yu.”

Wang Man smiled and nodded, then took out a breakfast.

“Miss, this is your breakfast for this morning.”

“Mm, thank you, Aunt Wang.”

An Yu nodded and took the breakfast, planning to leave—but before leaving, she heard footsteps coming from behind.

She subconsciously looked back.

In the morning, An Qing’s room.

The black-haired, red-eyed girl wrapped herself up tightly.

The two cups of water by the desk had been drunk completely dry by her.

In a certain sense, An Qing was really obedient.

An Yu told her to sleep well, and she really slept until dawn.

“Mm mm…”

An Qing lay on the bed, tightly gripping the quilt, her brows furrowed—it seemed her sweet dream was disturbed.

Slowly, she opened her eyes, her crimson eyes filled with confusion.

Until she saw the familiar room, then she gradually regained clarity.

Today, she had successfully woken from the dream too.

An Qing subconsciously picked up the phone by her pillow and checked the time.

Five o’clock.

The sky wasn’t even bright yet.

At this moment, An Qing was covered in sweat, fatigue sweeping over her body.

But the headache had lessened, her consciousness had recovered clarity—although her body didn’t feel very relaxed.

But she had broken the fever—the illness was gone.

Already… she could face reality.

She tightly clenched the quilt, lingering without coming out from under the covers, her eyes complex as she looked at those two empty cups.

Yesterday… it was An Yu who took care of her.

She wasn’t a fool, nor did she have amnesia—even if unwilling to believe, the facts were right in front of her.

Why… did it turn out like this again?

In her previous life, when she was sick, it was also An Yu who took care of her.

But at that time, An Yu wanted to use her, deceive her feelings.

Then, what was it for this time?

An Qing’s eyes were full of confusion.

Not just confusion about An Yu, but also about herself.

Her revenge—how exactly should she proceed?

Her choices—what meaning did they have?

In the end, what did she get?

She suddenly realized she seemed to have become the An Yu from her previous life.

Going to great lengths to seize this group of unimportant trash—in the end, just becoming battered and bruised.

Although she… knew from the start it would be like this, but only now did she feel it.

But compared to these, she still wanted to know why An Yu took care of her.

They were practically openly at odds—no difference.

From the time An Qing returned, An Yu had always been avoiding her.

An Qing stood up confused, slowly moving forward, opening the bedroom door and walking out.

It was still early—she had slept the whole day; at this time, even An Yu hadn’t woken up yet.

So, she still had time.

An Qing came to the bathroom, slowly taking off her pajamas, then turning on the shower, starting to bathe herself.

The water washed away the sweat on her body, but couldn’t wash away the confusion on her.

But no matter what, she had to wash—she couldn’t go to school like this with sweat all over, right?

Nor could she let An Yu see such a disheveled side again.

But…

She really wanted to know what An Yu was thinking.
