"System! System!" As the others walked away, Shen Qingyao suddenly called out urgently for her system.

[What's wrong, Host?]

"Don't you think we forgot something?" Shen Qingyao's eyes sparkled as she eagerly spoke.

[What... what do you mean?] The system was puzzled. It hadn't noticed anything.

"Don't you feel like it's been a while since we drew a card? How about changing my persona setting? Let's do it now!" Shen Qingyao clenched her small fist tightly, full of fighting spirit. "I think the cool and beautiful elder sister just now was pretty good! What do you think?"

[...I think not.]

At this moment, the system really wished it could find a mirror for its host to see herself properly. Just based on her delicate and soft appearance, she barely managed to pass off as charming and alluring last time without receiving a yellow card warning! And now she wants to be a cool beauty?

The system felt that its Host had a serious misunderstanding.

"Hmm? How about it?" Shen Qingyao was very expectant.

It's not about how. The system rarely rolled its eyes and said, [Host, I have something to say, I'm not sure if I should...]

Shen Qingyao paused, feeling it probably wasn't going to be something good. "Then don't say it."

[Okay, then I'll say it.]

"..."

[Host, objective facts are unchangeable, you know? So we must respect objective laws, respect facts, and be realistic. Can you understand?]

"..." What on earth?

"Can you say something in human language?" Shen Qingyao had black lines all over her face, her excitement dampened by half.

[It means, can you really play the role of a cool elder sister? Do you have the objective conditions for that? Can you pull off the cool vibe? How can a cool elder sister be 1.5 meters tall? Would you stand on a small stool to act cool?]

"..." A small stool? Shen Qingyao's fists tightened.

A man may die, but not his words! Why did it say she was only 1.5 meters tall!

"You're only 1.5 meters tall!" Shen Qingyao stomped her foot in anger. Though she wasn't tall, she definitely wasn't short! If the system had a physical form now, she would probably have dragged it out and beaten it up long ago.

"Complain! I want to complain! This system still suspected of personal attacks!!"

[...] If you're going to complain after being found out, can you handle this game?

The incident in the silver jewelry shop quickly reached Lu Zhao. When he returned that evening, his face was dark, almost as if he had written "I'm very angry" on it.

He rarely brought home negative emotions, so when Shen Qingyao saw him like this, her small heart skipped a beat.

"Elder Brother Lu Zhao..." She cautiously called out. Lu Zhao just made a noncommittal sound, not like usual where he would immediately embrace her when he came home. It seemed he was truly very angry.

Shen Qingyao paused for a moment, then took the initiative to grab his sleeve pitifully and said softly, "Elder Brother Lu Zhao, I was wrong..."

At these words, Lu Zhao finally looked at her, lowering his head to look at her. "What?"

Seeing that he finally responded, Shen Qingyao quickly started listing her 'crimes,' like shouldn't have gone out, shouldn't have run around, shouldn't have meddled, and so on, listing everything she could think of.
