Even though Gu Xijin had been making the chauffeur drive home quickly without waiting for her for the past few days, but Gu Xiqiao didn’t mind in the slightest. To her, these actions could be seen as the tantrums of a young child, and as long as she didn’t do anything too terrible to her as she did in her past life, Gu Xiqiao wouldn’t do anything to her.

 But would such a haughty girl like Gu Xijin take this chance? Gu Xiqiao laughed to herself and bought a cup of banana-flavored milk tea, sticking the straw into the cup and sipping a large mouthful before looking towards the road.

 On the street to her left, there was a boy that looked around five to six years old standing there. The boy had pale skin and a pair of bright eyes and was focusing on nibbling a lollipop. He was quite cute, and more pleasing on the eyes than Gu Xijin was.

 Looking to the right, a black car appeared in the distance.

 [Daily Good Deed Mission ac-] The system spirit hadn’t finished talking before Gu Xiqiao had already surged forward, and so it changed what it was going to do mid-sentence. [Beauty Qiao doesn’t have sufficient ability to save the boy, so the system shall deduct one point to buy a Dodge Card!]

 Gu Xiqiao felt like she suddenly became lighter as if the pull of gravity on her had become weaker, while a warm pulse of strength flowed through her veins. She was as light as a feather as she ran over to the boy, and the passersby could only see a vague shadow before they saw a young girl carrying a little boy on the side of the road.

 [Ding! Congratulations on completing the mission. The system has rewarded 30 points!]

 The car screeched to a halt, creating skid marks on the asphalt that were more than two meters long. Meanwhile, everyone that saw everything go down was discussing the magical scene.

 At the same time, a middle-aged woman ran out from the crowd with a ghastly expression and made her way over to the boy, tears streaking down her face as she held the boy close. Then, she looked around, realizing that the girl that saved her son had disappeared in a flash.

 Gu Xiqiao reappeared in a nearby alley. “I only asked you to mask my presence, why did you make me teleport?” Thankfully there weren’t many people around, or else they would probably get heart attacks in shock.

 [No, it’s just that the system detected a stray dog that required your loving help…]

 “What?!” Gu Xiqiao squinted dangerously and was about to refuse before the system played its trump card.

 [Beauty Qiao, you will get a 2 point reward if you feed the stray dog. Are you sure you don’t want to go?

 “You win…” Gu Xiqiao took out the piece of bacon that the girl that sat behind her gave her in thanks for the box of chocolates from earlier out from her backpack.

 The stray dog in question had probably been searching through the dumpster for food, its body filthy and littered with small wounds. In the summer weather, everyone could smell a sour scent wafting off the dog, and most people would avoid it when they saw it.

 Gu Xiqiao crouched down with an expressionless face, but the dog was too scared to go near her.

 She crouched there for a while, staring at the pair of dim eyes in the grass, before taking out the piece of bacon and the container that held it, pushing it towards the dog before stepping back. The stray dog stood there in fear before darting out and biting the bacon back to the grass patch that it was hiding in.
