The Charming Little Beauty is Being Targeted Again [Infinite]

The Widow in the Mansion 6

Cheng Xiao swore that he had never been so humble since he was born.

Well, a few hours ago, he had begrudgingly apologized to Little Mom, so that could count as one.

Cheng Xiao squatted in front of Yu Deng, letting the large, warm tears fall on his hands, his eyes darkening.

He had originally thought that this beautiful NPC perfectly matched his aesthetic tastes and found it amusing to tease him, so he kept focusing on Yu Deng.

But in such a short time, facing the pitifully crying little beauty, he found himself unable to resist softening just a little.

How could there be such a contradictory person?

Weak, slow, yet so emotionally touching.

"Little Mom, can I not call you a crybaby from now on?" Cheng Xiao said softly.

Yu Deng bit his lip, his whole body wrapped in his coat, the frayed collar encircling his face, making him look so small.

Hearing his stepson's rarely gentle voice, Yu Deng's tears fell even more fiercely.

His older brother always mocked him, saying that if someone comforted him, he would cry even more.

"Don't look at me, and don't speak."

Yu Deng awkwardly raised his hand, pressing his soft palm against Cheng Xiao's face to push him away so he wouldn’t look at him.

Cheng Xiao: "So unreasonable."

The moment Yu Deng's hand covered his face, Cheng Xiao's nose was filled with the scent of Little Mom.

[Baby, your crying has broken Mommy's heart.]

[I used to think I really disliked people who cried a lot, but today I realized I just can't dislike Deng Deng.]

[I really like seeing beautiful babies cry; am I a pervert?]

[Bad dog, hurry up and comfort them.]

[Plot-driven survival, this situation feels weird everywhere, and the clues are indeed very few and messy.]

[Indeed, but this type of side story should have ghosts or monsters, right? I wonder which plot point will trigger it. I have a feeling something will happen tonight.]

As Cheng Xiao was pressed by Yu Deng's hand, he could only look away. After a moment of silence, he asked.

"Then I'll say something else. Little Mom, I haven’t had the chance to ask you, what’s your name?"

Yu Deng sniffled and reflexively replied, "Yu Deng."

At the same time, the system reminded him in his mind: 【Host, please answer carefully.】

The two spoke almost at the same time.

System: 【……】 Sighed.

Yu Deng looked confused.

【I just want to remind the host that you are a special tasker. It would be troublesome if others knew your name, as players might encounter acquaintances in the infinite copy.】

Yu Deng stared blankly for a few seconds, shot a look at his stepson, and nervously said, "What should I do then?"

【Sorry, this issue needs to be resolved by the host.】

Yu Deng had already withdrawn his hand, and Cheng Xiao turned his head back.

"Is it 'Yu Deng' as in 'light'?" Cheng Xiao asked.

"Mm." Yu Deng replied vaguely, bent down, and leaned close to Cheng Xiao, whispering in his ear, "You mustn't tell anyone my name."

Cheng Xiao raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
