Chapter 429 - The First Song of Qin (2) (1/2)
Shi Sheng wouldn’t comment on whether Qiao Chu brought it on herself, or whether she was right or wrong. But now that the girl had the chance, did she really not want to avenge herself? After everything she’d experienced?
[Host, not everyone is like you.] ‘Always wanting to kill kill kill all day.’
Some people chose to escape and free themselves from their past.
Shi Sheng didn’t understand. ‘How are we different? We all have a pair of eyes, nostrils, and one mouth, no? What’s wrong with avenging yourself when an opportunity shows up?’
[Host, please do not make one-sided decisions.] System reminded Shi Sheng. ‘Do you think everyone’s as strong as you? This Host of mine has really gotten addicted to breaking ships. What’ve they done to you?’
Shi Sheng shrugged. “You know as well that Plot-sama is all-powerful—even if I don’t provoke them, they’ll still deliver themselves to my doorstep to progress the plot. So…”
‘It’s not that I want to break ships, but it’s a waste not to break the ships that deliver themselves to me.’
[Host…]
“They’re not truly in love if they’re broken apart so easily.” Shi Sheng interrupted System.
System felt like it had learned something important.
‘So the reason why Host likes breaking ships so much is because she feels they’re not really in love?
In most stories, the leads’ love is usually the most resilient… is that why she likes to break them apart while being completely uninterested in everyone else?
So how come she feels like she and Feng Ci are truly in love? Is there something wrong with her?
No wait, Master said she doesn’t like Feng Ci right now… Having difficulties running… Want to log off to cool down…
#This Host wants to ascend the heavens#
#Can someone please tell me what my Host is thinking?#’
Knock knock. Someone was at the door.
Shi Sheng stopped talking to System to open the door. Outside stood a sternly dressed woman.
This was Qiao Chu’s mother.
The woman frowned, her expression a bit displeased. “Xiaochu, how come you’ve been arguing with your sister again? You’ve made her storm off this time.”
Qiao-mu really liked Qiao Qian’qian. There were even times where her actual daughter, Qiao Chu, wasn’t as important in her heart.
Back when Qiao Chu had gotten pregnant with someone else’s child, when Qiao-mu learned that the child wasn’t the ML’s, she felt that Qiao Chu was a disgrace and wanted to sever their relationship.
There was a reason behind why Qiao-mu didn’t like Qiao Chu. Ever since she was young, Qiao Chu was very mischievous; scaling walls, climbing trees to steal eggs, fighting, skipping class, playing games—there was nothing she didn’t know how to do.
After she entered senior high, she became even more undisciplined. Wearing odd clothing, opposing teachers, dating early…
When compared to the FL, who was capable, obedient, didn’t cause trouble for others, and had impeccable grades, Qiao Chu was simply too much of a headache.
With this comparison, Qiao-mu gradually grew disappointed in Qiao Chu.
But Qiao-mu didn’t know that Qiao Chu needed to be coaxed more than disciplined—the stricter she was on the girl, the more rebellious Qiao Chu became.
Shi Sheng leaned against the door. “What does her leaving have to do with me?”
‘It was just a short argument. If the FL hadn’t already thought of leaving, would she have left just like that?’
“She’s your sister!” Qiao-mu couldn’t help but raise her voice, her expression disappointed. “Look at yourself now. Sending you to school is for you to study—not for you to learn all these bad habits!”
“I’m going to bed.” Shi Sheng slammed the door shut.
Qiao-mu slapped the door, her criticisms constantly transmitting through it. In the end, it was only when Qiao-fu came and called her away did she stop.
The Qiao family wasn’t super wealthy, but they didn’t lack for money.
Qiao-fu was constantly henpecked and obeyed his wife in everything. He was pretty concerned about Qiao Chu, but didn’t dare to say anything while Qiao-mu was around.
