“Dad, I’ve been away from home for less than a month. How much taller do you think I’ve grown?
Yuan Xiao glanced at Feng Mei and deliberately exaggerated, “I was thinking my mom has become prettier. It seems that this month has been especially magical.”
“This child, quickly wash your hands. We can eat soon.” Feng Mei looked at Yuan Xiao, her eyes filled with joy. She prepared a table full of Yuan Xiao’s favorite dishes.
Feng Mei had been preparing for Yuan Xiao’s arrival since she returned last night.
“Xiao Xiao, do you have enough living expenses? If you lack money, tell Dad.” Shen Hai sat beside Yuan Xiao and said to her happily, “The restaurant’s business is getting better and better. Your mother and I have long wanted to give you more living expenses.”
“It’s enough. I still have a lot of bonuses for participating in the competition previously. The things in university are very cheap. I don’t need that much money.” Yuan Xiao was already very satisfied with her current life.
In her previous life, she was too obsessed with those worldly possessions, so she ignored the most precious beauty in front of her.
“Girls should buy more clothes and cosmetics.”
Feng Mei looked at Yuan Xiao’s clean and beautiful face. In her impression, Yuan Xiao had never put on makeup.
It was fine in high school in the past, but now that she was in university, Feng Mei asked worriedly, “Xiao Xiao, do you need me to enroll you in a class to learn makeup? I think girls around your age are very good at makeup.”
“Do I have to register for class even if I want to put on makeup?” Yuan Xiao smiled and shied away. “I’m fine now. I don’t need makeup. It’s too troublesome.”
In her previous life, Yuan Xiao had a lot of cosmetics. In order to obtain Jiang Yan’s attention, Yuan Xiao had paid a lot of attention to her appearance since high school, but what did she get in exchange?
There was only endless ridicule and a tragic ending. In this life, Yuan Xiao no longer foolishly pursued these superficial matters. She placed more importance on enriching her heart.
“My daughter is born beautiful. She’s also the most beautiful without makeup.” Shen Hai looked at Yuan Xiao proudly.
The family enjoyed dinner happily. After dinner, Yuan Xiao finally returned to the small bed she was most familiar with.
“Little 7, time passes so quickly.” Yuan Xiao only felt at ease calling out the system when she was in her bedroom.
When she was in the dormitory, she could only pull the curtains on the bed and silently think about the conversation in her mind, afraid that it would arouse the suspicion of her roommates.
[That’s right, Host. It’s been a long time since you completed your previous mission. Do you want to unlock a new mission?]
“Little 7, don’t you have anything to talk to me about other than missions? Yuan Xiao lay on the bed with mixed feelings.
[Of course I do, but I can sense all your emotions and thoughts, so even if we don’t chat, I can tell what you’re thinking.]
“So what do you think I’m thinking now?
Yuan Xiao turned over and picked up the little bear by the bed. There was a faint smell of detergent on it.
Yuan Xiao knew that even if she did not go home often, Feng Mei would carefully clean her room every day, so the items in the room were very clean.
[The host is wondering if our world is real.]
The system’s words stunned Yuan Xiao. “That’s not what I thought…”
Yuan Xiao really wanted to study and understand the difference between
Artificial Intelligence and the Academic Genius System. If the Academic Genius System was also a memory implanted, it meant that the world Yuan Xiao lived in was not real.
“Then can you give me an answer?” Yuan Xiao tried to ask Little 7.
[I’m sorry, Host. Regardless of whether your world is real or not, Little 7 is only a parasite in your brain, so there’s no way to make an accurate judgment.]
“If I don’t exist, will you disappear too?” Yuan Xiao thought that one day, she might not be able to hear the system’s voice and suddenly felt a little disappointed.
[Yes, Host. I only exist it in your mind. Without you, I certainly wouldn’t exist.] “Looks like I have to cherish my life well, for you,” Yuan Xiao said jokingly.
[Yes, Host. Not only do you have to live a good life, but you also have to work hard to do more missions. The reason Little 7 exists is to let you reach a higher level.]
“Last time, you said that I still have 300 points before I can level up again?
[That’s right. The host can choose to complete a special mission and directly obtain 300 points to further upgrade to advanced mode..]
