Chapter 613 The Idea of a System
Lin Xiyue, who had been listening to their conversation absentmindedly, jumped up as if she had been pricked by a needle when she heard the conversation between the system and Moros.
"?!! No, why didn't you tell me the truth? You only told me before that you bought this because it looked good!! [○?｀Д′? ○] I even mentally questioned whether your taste was problematic."
Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she stared intently at the system in front of her.
She couldn't believe that the system she had always trusted had kept such an important matter from her; it was too hard for her to accept.
[Well... mainly because I was afraid you would object.]
I've seen many experienced system users on our forum say that if we buy skins and can leave the host, we're easily targeted and subjected to various complaints. Some might even be abandoned, which is quite pitiful.
So, the experienced ones told me that as long as I told the host it was just skin, it would be much better.
Faced with Lin Xiyue's incredulous expression and questioning, the system was clearly flustered. It lowered its head, which was indistinguishable from its rear, and kept scratching its fur with both hands, stammering an explanation.
That look was incredibly awkward.
"Huh? So, once you have skin, you can leave the host, right?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiyue froze on the spot. It took her a while to come back to her senses. She frowned, looked at the system very seriously, and asked, word by word.
Yes, that's right. But don't worry, I will never leave you!
From the moment we met, I knew you were my only host. No matter what difficulties or challenges we faced, I would stay by your side steadfastly until the last moment of my life!
So please believe me, and please don't abandon me!
The system's voice revealed a clear sense of tension and unease, as if it was very worried that Lin Xiyue would suddenly change her mind and abandon it.
"Don't worry, how could I possibly abandon you? You're my good partner, my good friend, and even more so, my closest family member! Is there anything to doubt about that?"
Seeing the system's agitated and terrified state, Lin Xiyue couldn't help but feel pity for it.
So he quickly reached out and gently grasped the system's furry body, stroking its colorful downy fur to comfort the cute and pitiful system.
[Mmm! Host, you're so kind! Waaaaah...]
Feeling Lin Xiyue's warm touch and sincere care, the system was deeply moved. Its eyes gradually reddened, and tears welled up like a burst dam. It choked out as it spoke.
At this moment, Lin Xiyue realized that the place she had just touched was not the system's head or back, but the system's face.
It's just that the system is so rounded and fluffy that you can't see its tiny beady eyes at all.
Because she habitually petted the system like a cat, she unknowingly turned its originally soft, colorful fur into a tangled mess, leaving it wet and disheveled.
Lin Xiyue looked at the system crying in front of her and felt a surge of panic. She really didn't know how to comfort it.
"Ah, don't cry, don't cry, it's okay. So, um... so you've taken a liking to Xiao Qi now?"
Lin Xiyue sighed helplessly, trying to ease the tense atmosphere with a relaxed tone and a different topic, but the words she spoke came out as unusually stiff and awkward.
However, to Lin Xiyue's surprise, the system immediately stopped crying when it heard her say those words.
[Ah, yes, yes. Is it obvious? (????)]
Although its beady eyes were still glistening with tears, it nodded with a flushed face and muttered softly.
Without a doubt, the system is a complete romantic overload.
When it heard about Xiao Qi, it instantly forgot everything else and could only hear about Xiao Qi.
That's why it displays such a spineless, sycophantic behavior.
"Oh dear... So what are you planning to do next? I think there's still a gap between you and Xiaoqi—especially in terms of intelligence. It seems to be less adept at expressing emotions."
Seeing that the system had finally stopped crying, Lin Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief and continued on the current topic.
It's okay, I'm not afraid. I can level it up slowly.
The main problem is that seeing you and Boss Mo being so lovey-dovey every time makes me really sad. I'm always forced to watch, or I'm forced to watch in a dark room.
I'm so miserable. QAQ
The system said in a tearful voice.
Indeed, constantly showing Lin Xiyue and Molos being affectionate and flirtatious, even engaging in intimate acts that only lovers in the throes of passion would do, is quite a torment for a system forced to watch.
"Uh... well, actually I don't disapprove of you two getting together, I'm just curious whether you're truly sincere about this relationship."
You know, Xiaoqi is now under my management; she's my one and only little helper.
Besides, in a sense, it ultimately belongs to Amo.
So, you should at least find out the details about it first, right? Otherwise, what if something goes wrong?
Upon hearing the system's words, Lin Xiyue felt a little embarrassed, but this feeling only lasted for a moment before she quickly returned to her usual nonchalant self.
After all, the question she raised was absolutely crucial. The system should not feel dissatisfied or displeased; on the contrary, it should be grateful to her!
[You're right. But this isn't our first meeting, and I'm currently actively pursuing her. How could I possibly start discussing such details right away?]
The system strongly agreed with what Lin Xiyue said, but at the same time, it also had its own thoughts.
"You've already started thinking about things that far ahead? But I still haven't explicitly promised you that you can be together. This is an AI that I trained and developed."
Moros, who had been silently listening to the conversation between Lin Xiyue and the system, finally couldn't suppress his thoughts and spoke up at this moment.
