The problem was whether he dared to say it, but would this little girl in front of him believe him?
Hong Xin looked at the little girl in front of him and fell into thought. It wasn't until Shen Xiuer tugged his hand that he snapped back to reality, "It's nothing, I just have a cold constitution."
Hearing this, Shen Xiuer nodded vaguely.
After the three returned home, Shen Xiuer yawned, rubbed her eyes, and said to Ming Li, "Sister, Nini is sleepy."
Ming Li stiffly rubbed the little girl's hair, "Then go wash up and sleep."
"Okay, Nini will go wash up first."
"Wait a moment," Ming Li thought of something and took out a jade bracelet, putting it on Shen Xiuer's wrist. She cautioned, "This, you are never allowed to take it off." This girl had consumed the soul of a ghost king. What if the ghost king came to harm the little girl when she wasn't around? Wouldn't her mission be ruined?
Shen Xiuer looked at the bracelet on her wrist, appearing very fond of it, "This is so beautiful, Nini likes it very much! Thank you, Sister!"
"Alright, go wash up quickly."
Watching the little girl skip away, Ming Li's figure also disappeared from the spot.
The bracelet Ming Li gave Shen Xiuer, she wore it for many springs, autumns, winters, and summers.
Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, Shen Xiuer was already in high school.
As she grew older, Shen Xiuer learned many things. For instance, there really were ghosts in this world. For instance, she was actually different from others because others couldn't see ghosts, but she could. For instance, her sister had died when she was young, and the person by her side now was the soul of her sister, Shen Zhongli...
"Holy cow! Host, there's something going on!" The system looked at the man in ancient costume, who exuded a charismatic and debonair aura, on the screen and said to Ming Li, "The male lead seems to be going to find the female lead."
"Oh, what's it to me? I'm not the female lead." Ming Li appeared indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with her, and calmly took a sip of peach blossom wine.
"But Host, have you forgotten? The female lead is your sister." Not only your sister, but also your mission target!
Hearing the system's words, Ming Li frowned. She finally remembered that Shen Xiuer was actually the female lead of this plane. The male lead hadn't shown up for years, making her almost forget about it.
With that thought, Ming Li put down the peach blossom wine and drifted towards Shen Xiuer, following her aura.
On the other side.
Shen Xiuer had just finished evening self-study. As she passed a corner of the sports field, she was stopped by a boy in a white shirt.
The boy stood in the shadows, making it impossible for Shen Xiuer to see his face.
Suddenly, he thrust a bouquet of roses into Shen Xiuer's arms and said to her in a hoarse voice, "Junior Shen, I... I like you. Can you be my girlfriend?"
"Ah?" Shen Xiuer stared blankly at the roses that had suddenly appeared in her arms, not yet understanding what had happened.
Seeing this, the boy continued, "Junior Shen, I'm Yang Lin from Class 3, Grade 2. I've liked you since the first moment I saw you. Please... be my girlfriend, okay?"
A gust of evening wind blew, lifting the boy's hair from his forehead. Under the dim lamplight, Shen Xiuer could see his face clearly. She said, "I remember you, senior from the upper grades."
At that moment, Yang Lin felt his heart skip a beat. Just as he thought Shen Xiuer would agree, he saw the girl in front of him curve her lips into a beautiful arc. The next second, her words stunned him, "You are too weak."
Yang Lin: "??? What do you mean by that, Junior?"
