The Buggiest System

7 - What's the Matter?

Zhou Lei hesitated. He would rather wet himself on the bed than let his parents find out that he was skipping school, moreover, for two consecutive days, or did he?

"Do I... lose my dignity, or my... dignity?"

Whatever he chose to do, it would lead to a negative outcome. Now, the only problem was thinking about which one was worse.

"Wait..."

Taking into consideration the system's reward, letting his parents find out that he didn't go to school was the better choice. Besides, he didn't want to get a bladder disorder. He decided it would be better to go to the bathroom.

He stood up from his bed and walked towards the door, his hand heading to the doorknob. One of his fingers touched the knob, and Zhou Lei felt it was cold. His hand retreated a little, feeling surprised.

"Wow... was it always this cold?"

Nervousness was evident on Zhou Lei's face. He was sure that there was no way the doorknob would be that cold.

"Maybe I shouldn't open it after all..."

Zhou Lei knew that the knob actually wasn't cold, but rather, it was just his brain making excuses.

.....

As Zhou Xiang made her way to the bathroom, Zhou Zhenya's cries could be heard. There was also Zhou Jiahao screaming desperately, calling for his daughter.

"Did something happen to Zhou Zhenya?"

She deduced from the noise coming from the bathroom that maybe her daughter got trapped in a hidden place, and Zhou Jiahao was looking for her.

What she saw though, was out of her expectations.

There was a beautiful girl sitting on the floor, crying with a voice similar to that of their daughter. No, forget similar, they're exactly alike!

Her husband, Zhou Jiahao, was in the small bathroom, looking around. He appeared to have gone crazy as his hair was all messed up.

Zhou Zhenya saw her mother's figure gradually approaching, so she stood up quickly and rushed towards her.

"Mom!"

Tears were dropping from her eyes, which made for a beautiful scene. Even Zhou Xiang was entranced by this mysterious girl running in her direction.

For a split second, Zhou Xiang thought that the mysterious girl was her daughter, but that couldn't be true, since her daughter, admittedly, did not even have a moderately pretty appearance, not to mention the level this girl was in.

The girl eventually hugged Zhou Xiang, making her fall into a daze. Her husband's incessant screaming, however, destroyed the daze which she was in.

"Zhenya, where are you?"

As time went on, Zhou Xiang got fed up with her husband ceaselessly shouting for their daughter. She ended up screaming as well, although not to help her husband.

"Shut up!"

The screaming of the husband abruptly stopped. He looked behind to confirm the source of the scream, as he already had a clear idea of who she might be.

"H...honey!"

His wife entered Zhou Jiahao's sight. Clearly irritated that she had woken up due to his loud noises, he tried to calm her down. As he did, however, he saw the mysterious girl clinging onto his wife.

"D-dangerous! Impostor!"

Zhou Xiang's eyebrows, which were already creased, started to drop even lower.

What's the problem with my husband? As soon as he sees me, his wife, he starts screaming 'dangerous' and 'impostor'?

Soon after, Zhou Xiang started nagging, like she was Zhou Jiahao's mother.

"What are you even doing, screaming in the morning? You know that I was still sleeping, right? And what do you mean 'impostor'?"

Zhou Jiahao was on the verge of tears. He was trying so hard to find their daughter, but not only is she helping, she even scolded him! What kind of wife is that?

As her mother was lecturing her father, Zhou Zhenya couldn't help but giggle and stopped crying altogether. With this action, she attracted the attention of both parents.

Zhou Xiang completely forgot about the mysterious girl clinging onto her before she suddenly giggled.

Feeling her mother's gaze suddenly turning towards her, she subconsciously released her grip and retreated.

"M-mom..."

Zhou Xiang's head neared the mysterious girl's as she meticulously studied her face and all its beauty.

This was soon stopped as another attention attractor walked to the bathroom. It was... Zhou Lei.

"..."
"..."
"..."

Everyone in the room was dumbfounded by this sudden development.

"Why... is he here?" These were the thoughts of everyone as he walked leisurely towards the bathroom.

Arriving at the door, Zhou Lei opened it, entered the room, and shut it. After that, water continuously trickling could be heard, as well as a moan of pleasure from the teen inside the room.

"Aah..."

A flush was then heard, followed by the opening of the door, revealing the satisfied expression of the teen.

Walking out of the bathroom, Zhou Lei noticed that all the gazes were pointed at him, so to ease up the heavy atmosphere, he spoke.

"What's the matter?"
