Chapter 63 Mocking Me?
Chapter 63 Mocking Me?
Ye Xiaoxiao took the water and took a big gulp. Upon hearing this, she almost choked on the water and got it into her nose.
Seeing He Jing's serious expression, she teased:
"How will you take responsibility?"
"me......"
He Jing stammered "I" for a long time without getting a clear answer. He saw the woman in front of him pursing her lips, smiling and glancing at him sideways. A small red mole at the corner of her eye added to her beauty and charm.
He felt his mouth was dry again.
"He Jing, am I pretty?"
He Jing answered without hesitation, "It looks great!"
Did I look good just now?
Ye Xiaoxiao rested her chin on one hand and looked at the person who was gulping down water with the other. She raised an eyebrow and smiled, blinking her bright eyes, which were full of teasing.
"Beautiful!" He Jing refilled his glass of water, and just as he picked it up to gulp it down, he met Ye Xiaoxiao's mischievous gaze and realized what she meant. He choked on the water, coughing and coughing.
......
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Ye Xiaoxiao thought to herself that the smoked wild boar meat at home was almost ready.
Coincidentally, a lot of bamboo shoots have recently sprouted in the bamboo grove behind the house. There are more than enough to eat, and they can grow taller than the house overnight.
Ye Xiaoxiao carried a hoe and a small basket on her back and headed to the back of the house.
From afar, you can see the spring bamboo shoots, wrapped in dark brown sheaths, emerging from the soil, looking like tender little babies.
Ye Xiaoxiao swung the hoe high, but when she brought it down, she lost her aim and the hoe blade veered off course, piercing a hole in the tender bamboo shoot.
"Oh! What a pity!"
She stared regretfully at the bamboo shoot she had ruined, a pang of heartache flashing across her face; if it wasn't good quality, it wouldn't fetch a good price.
Never mind, I'll just have to eat it myself.
Based on the principle that practice makes perfect, Ye Xiaoxiao felt that if she dug a few more times, she would be able to dig out a whole bamboo shoot.
But......
Looking at the increasingly full small basket, it was filled with bamboo shoots that had been dug up in a terrible state.
Ye Xiaoxiao sighed: We can't finish it! We simply can't finish it!
She put down the hoe, put one hand on her hip and rubbed her aching back with the other.
This job is definitely not for someone like her.
However, when you watch He Jing work with a hoe, he's incredibly efficient and doesn't even break a sweat.
[Host, professional tasks should be left to professionals.]
Ye Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes: Are you slacking off at work?
[Host, I need to catch my breath. Although I swear to become the King of Scrolls, I still need to rest.]
Ye Xiaoxiao: He Jing's corruption level is down to 30%, are you about to log off too? Or should you find another host to issue a mission?
[Host, a system can only be matched with one host. That is to say, once the host's task is completed, the corresponding system will be formatted.]
Suddenly, the little boy's voice was filled with deep reluctance.
[Host, I feel a little reluctant to part with you. Can I stay by your side forever?]
Ye Xiaoxiao wanted to yell: "You've been staying by my side all this time? Doesn't that mean I'll never complete my mission?"
[Oh right! That's not what I meant. I just really can't bear to part with you!]
Ye Xiaoxiao realized something incredible: Wait! You can still have feelings? Aren't you a system?
[I...right, why do I feel reluctant to part with it?]
Ye Xiaoxiao then realized that the system's original mechanical voice had been replaced by an emotional human voice at some point.
A thought flashed through her mind: Could this system have developed emotions like humans?
【Host! ! ! 】
Ye Xiaoxiao covered her head, almost getting a concussion from being yelled at: "Keep your voice down, speak slowly."
The little boy's voice clearly couldn't contain his excitement.
[Host, I might... really be becoming the King of the Scrolls! Hahahaha...]
Ye Xiaoxiao immediately asked: What do you mean?
She waited for a long time, but didn't hear a response from the system.
Leaving now?
After resting, Ye Xiaoxiao spat into her hand and continued wielding the hoe.
The situation seems to be getting worse.
She can chop a perfectly good bamboo shoot into three pieces!
A stubborn glint flashed in Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes; she refused to believe it!
The hoe that had just been raised was grasped by a large hand.
"Let me do it, you take a rest."
A man's pleasant voice came from behind, as gentle as a breeze rustling through the treetops in a bamboo forest, captivating the heart.
"He Jing, what brings you here?" Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up as she looked at the tall and handsome man in front of her.
His sharply defined features exuded an aura of righteousness, hardly resembling a rustic man. The fortitude and composure between his brows made him all the more captivating.
However, a faint smile was playing in his eyes, which shone like stars.
Is this... mocking oneself?
