Chapter 12 - Gossip Queen (12) (2/2)

Jiang Xun really liked the Host.

It was a pity.

The Host would never know.

Ah… Lovers become brother and sister in the end.

[Guest, you could try to attract Jiang Xun.] the Harmony System suggested.

“Why?”

[When he falls in love with you, you dump him. You could get Hatred Points this way.]

Let people like you, then get rid of them. Was she such an evil woman?

Harmony System, are you really harmonious?

You shouldn’t give such suggestions.

You’re so shameless!

[Guest, don’t forget your task is to get Hatred Points. You should only regard these people as characters in a game. Besides, you are worse than now when you want to be bad.]

Ming Shu smiled. “I regard that as high praise.”

[…]

“I refuse.”

[Why?]

“Are you blind? Don’t you see Jiang Xun clearly? He must be smarter and stronger than me. I’m afraid I couldn’t get rid of him and have to kill him.” I don’t want to be in trouble.

[If you do that, you will obtain more Hatred Points.]

“…” In the fiction that she read recently, the system was good and kind; its aim was to rescue others. However, why did her system encourage her to be an evil woman and even kill people?

Maybe it was a fake system. “Well, why must you ruin everything?”

[Our task is to obtain Hatred Points.]

That meant they needed Hatred Points only and needn’t care for others’ lives.

You are so powerful, why don’t you destroy the world directly?!

“Hmph!”

Ming Shu ignored the Harmony System. She believed the system needed to learn graciousness, kindness, and beauty. What would she do if she was encouraged to do bad things all day in the future. After all, she couldn’t restrain herself.

Jiang Xun followed her, not too far or too close. She could feel his stare from time to time as if she was being watched by a poisoned snake: simply horrible.

Does Jiang Xun want to scare me to death in order to inherit my snacks?

So in order to protect my snacks, I only have to do bad things when necessary.

“Jiang Nian!”

This shout almost startled Ming Shu into dropping her smile.

A tall man walked toward her, radiating a strong sense of oppression. No need to guess. It must be Li Shaonan wanting to scare her to death to inherit her snacks.

Why do I always run into him?

Guards, protect my snacks!

“Where is Keqing?” Li Shaonan stopped before Ming Shu. Being tall, he looked down at Ming Shu disdainfully. There was fire in his eyes, as if he was going to tear her to pieces.

“Mr. Li.” Jiang Xun put his arm around Ming Shu’s shoulder and pulled her against his chest. He looked at Li Shaonan. “You’re scaring my sister.”

Ming Shu quietly slipped out of Jiang Xun’s hug. She glanced around and found there was a row of chairs in the corridor. She headed straight for them and climbed onto one, instantaneously becoming much taller than Li Shaonan. With a smile on her face, she replied, “Mr. Li, if you lose your canary, you can go to the zoo to look for it. Why did you ask me? I’m not the zookeeper.”

Are you just tall?

I am even afraid of myself when I’m tall.

“…” Is she crazy? Li Shaonan thought.

“…” My sister is quite strange , Jiang Xun thought.
