Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: The System Gets So Angry It Shuts Down

The two little ones staying in the hospital room were so hungry that their stomachs were sticking to their backs.

Ugh... Why hasn't Auntie come back yet?

System: [Little host, your aunt is deliberately starving you. She is very bad!]

Little Su Luo heard the unfamiliar voice again, with a trace of doubt in her big eyes.

"Who are you?"

System: [Little host, I am the system in your mind, here to help you become a great villain in the future.]

Little Su Luo continued to be puzzled: "What is Xi Tong?"

[The system is...]

The system wanted to proudly explain itself, boasting about how awesome it was.

However, it suddenly remembered that the host in front of it was just a toddler under three years old. Telling him all this, he wouldn't understand.

It said dejectedly: [Little host, you just need to know that you'll be an awesome big villain in the future.]

Little Su Luo tilted her head, biting her finger: "Big villain? Is it something edible?"

System: [...]

[No.]

Little Su Luo: "Then what is it?"

[...Hmm, a character role, the big villain is the protagonist.]

"Pig's foot?" Little Su Luo's bun face wrinkled: "Pig's foot is very stinky."

System: [...]

Little Su Luo saw that the voice in his head was silent and called out to it: "What are you doing? Why are you hiding in my head, are you playing hide and seek?"

[...]

The system's language is being organized...

Ah! Communicating with children is exhausting!

[Little host, let me tell you about your aunt.] The system shifted the topic.

[Your aunt, she is a super bad and vicious woman. She will keep mistreating you in the future, not giving you food, hitting you every day. What you need to do now is find your uncle and have your uncle defeat the evil aunt, get rid of the evil aunt!]

Little Su Luo frowned and whispered in disagreement: "...Auntie isn't bad now."

System: [You can't trust her words. She is just deceiving you. You see, she left now, didn't give you any food, letting you starve while she secretly went out to eat with a thermal container.]

Little Su Luo hesitated: "But… Auntie has gotten better in the past couple of days."

System: [That's all fake. If you believe her, your little sister will have a miserable future.]

Little Su Luo hesitated: "Does Auntie really want us to starve, not give us food?"

[Right! I just saw her eating alone outside.]

The system lied.

Of course, in its eyes, their little aunt was an evil cannon fodder character. Taking a thermal container out to throw away or eat by herself was in line with her character setting, and it believed this was definitely what the evil aunt was doing, so it said those words without any pressure.

Little Su Hua turned to look at her self-talking brother: "What are you saying?"

Little Su Luo: "Sister, there's a person living in my head, talking to me."

Upon hearing this, Little Su Hua's eyes lit up.

"Brother, is that your superpower?"

Little Su Luo puzzled: "Superpower?"

Little Su Hua nodded happily: "Yes! Brother has superpowers just like me now."

Little Su Luo suddenly realized: "So, Xi Tong is my superpower!"

System: [...]

Forget about your superpower! I am a system! A super awesome system!

Then, Little Su Luo looked down and twisted his fingers: "But my superpower isn't good."

Little Su Hua tilted her head, innocently asked: "Why isn't it good?"

Little Su Luo frowned: "It's speaking ill of Auntie."

Little Su Hua said unhappily: "Why is it speaking ill of Auntie?"

Little Su Luo: "It said Auntie took the food out and ate alone, and said Auntie wants us to starve, not to give us food."

Little Su Hua was silent after hearing this.

The system's eyes lit up: Yes! That's right, soon you'll see the true face of your evil Auntie.

Suddenly, Little Su Hua raised her head: "Then tell it to stop talking, I believe Auntie, Auntie has become good now, not bad!"

Little Su Luo heard his sister's firm tone and nodded along: "Yes, Auntie has become good now, not bad."

System: ...

Little Su Hua put her hands on her hips: "Yes! Just like that, Auntie has become good."

Little Su Luo added: "What if my superpower doesn't listen to me?"

Little Su Hua tilted her head and thought: "Then you threaten it, say you don't want it anymore, it will definitely be scared!"

In the TV shows, children are like this, if the adults threaten not to want them anymore, they would cry in fear and obediently listen to the adults.

System: ...

Little Su Luo found his sister's words very sensible, so he gathered courage and told the system: "Auntie has already changed for the better, she's not bad anymore, you can't speak ill of her!"

The system gritted its teeth: [Are you out of your mind?]

Little Su Luo puzzled: "Sister, it said I have a problem with my brain tiger oil."

"Brain tiger? Like a big tiger brain?" Little Su Hua said, then burst out laughing.

Little Su Luo saw his sister laughing, and he couldn't help but laugh along.

The system looked at these two little fools, so infuriated that it went offline in silence.

Su Xingwan entered, immediately hearing the silvery laughter of the two little ones, and said with a cheerful face: "What's made you so happy? Laughing so joyfully."

"Auntie! We were just talking about big brain tigers."

"Yes! Very fierce big brain tigers!"

Su Xingwan laughed: "Big tigers, huh?"

At this moment, the two little ones' stomachs gurgled loudly.

Little Su Hua instantly felt aggrieved: "…Auntie, we're hungry."

Su Xingwan's eyes flashed a trace of apology.

"I'm sorry, Auntie left you two behind."

She had waited for that person outside the bathroom to no avail and had brought the thermal container back.

Now, the two little ones were both hungry.

She decided to feed them the corn rib soup from the thermal container, thinking she'd just transfer the money for the corn rib soup to the person when they came to ask for it.

Su Xingwan opened the thermal container's lid, and the two little ones immediately smelled the previously wafting aroma of the meat soup, their eyes lighting up, was the fragrant food still there?

Su Xingwan served each of them a bowl.

The meat on the ribs had been stewed very tender, and the corn was sweet, soft, and glutinous.

The two little ones had never tasted such delicious delicacies before.

The fragrant, soft meat entered their mouths, they were so happy they kicked their little feet.

Little Su Hua said: "The meat is better than little cakes!"

The two little ones, ever since they could remember, had never eaten meat. They originally thought that Auntie's noodles were the most delicious food in the world, but today's food was even more fragrant.

Little Su Luo ate the rib soup Auntie served him, thinking.

Auntie isn't bad at all. That Xi Tong is lying, it's the real bad guy.

"Auntie, can I have more delicious meat like this in the future?" Little Su Hua said, looking up after finishing the last drop of soup.

"I want some too!" Little Su Luo added.
