183: Chapter 183: Why is it another child?
"Alright, let's ignore her."
Song Xi grabbed Zhang Xiaofu's arm and winked playfully at him, "You have to go fulfill your obligations as a kept man now!"
Zhang Xiaofu felt goosebumps rise all over his body.
"Wait a second."
Lin Xiao seemed to suddenly remember something; he took out his phone and snapped a photo of Song Xi's signature on the sugar baby agreement.
Anyway, the system only said it needed the signature of a female celebrity; it didn't specify whose, nor did it say where it had to be signed.
As long as it's a signature, it should count, right?
[ ... ]
The system didn't make a sound, feeling for the first time that its mission description might have been too simple.
It used to think this would make things slightly difficult for Lin Xiao, but who would have thought it would become the very reason Lin Xiao used to fool it!
Since things had come to this, there was nothing it could do.
Lin Xiao watched his points silently increase, and his mood improved.
"Brother Lin, Brother Lin..."
Zhang Xiaofu was dragged away by Song Xi, not forgetting to look back and ask Lin Xiao for help.
Lin Xiao followed behind with a smile, considerately advising, "You've already signed the agreement, you should enjoy it properly. You can even earn extra money, isn't that great?"
Zhang Xiaofu was practically on the verge of tears.
He really wanted to ask Lin Xiao, if this job is so good, why doesn't he take it himself?
Leaving the cafe, Lin Xiao watched as Zhang Xiaofu was shoved into a nanny van by Song Xi, waving goodbye.
But when he turned around, he found Su Yuan still standing not far away.
Seemingly afraid of being recognized by passersby, she had already put on a hat and sunglasses.
Through the lenses, Lin Xiao could feel Su Yuan staring at him, looking as if she wanted to eat him alive.
That feeling made an inexplicable chill rise in his heart.
He subconsciously suspected whether he had met this woman before.
Otherwise, why did he feel that this woman was so strange?
Fortunately, after a while, Su Yuan's nanny van arrived.
After glaring at him one more time, Su Yuan finally got into the car and left.
Lin Xiao slowly breathed a sigh of relief and asked in his mind, "System, are you there?"
[Hello, the system you are looking for is busy, please try again later.]
Lin Xiao: ?
"No, what are you busy with?"
Lin Xiao was surprised.
[Hello, the system you are looking for is busy, please try again later.]
[Sorry, that was an automated reply.]
[Host, is there something you need?]
He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he always felt that this time, the system's electronic voice carried a strange emotion.
He couldn't be bothered to investigate and asked directly, "Is there really no problem with that Su Yuan? Why do I feel like she's just full of gossip waiting to happen? Don't tell me you were too busy to remind me?"
[Ah, that's actually true!]
The system seemed to suddenly realize it, even experiencing a slight lag.
Lin Xiao was speechless, "I'm asking, what exactly are you busy with?"
[Nothing much, just reading that fanfiction about you and Qiu Xiaoyan!]
[It's so exciting, hehe.]
[I didn't expect the host to be so fierce in the novel!]
Lin Xiao: ??
"No, I treat you as my cheat code, and you treat me as entertainment?"
If he could, Lin Xiao really wanted to drag the system out to see what it actually looked like.
Unfortunately, the system had no physical form.
After a long while, the information about Su Yuan was finally transmitted by the system.
Looking at the explosive news, Lin Xiao even forgot to continue complaining to the system for a moment.
"A master's mission?"
"Is the entertainment industry really this messy?"
According to the system's explanation, it turned out Su Yuan had a benefactor behind her.
This time, coming to seduce Lin Xiao was just a mission assigned by that benefactor.
In other words, he had unknowingly become a part of their game!
The entertainment industry really is chaotic!
Just as Lin Xiao was about to ask who this benefactor was, the system suddenly interrupted.
[Emergency mission: Save the female student who is attempting to jump into the lake to commit suicide!]
Perhaps thinking of Lin Xiao's previous loophole exploitation, the system added another sentence.
[Must ensure she survives!]
At this moment, Lin Xiao happened to be walking near the school's small park.
Suddenly, he heard bursts of exclamations from not far away.
"Help! Someone fell into the water!"
"Ahhh, quickly, save her!"
"..."
Lin Xiao didn't expect things to happen so quickly, so he immediately ran towards that direction.
The mission required her to survive, so if it were any later, it would be hard to say.
Rushing to the edge of the artificial lake, he saw a girl struggling in the water.
He quickly took off his shoes and jumped in.
Fortunately, his previous master-level swimming skill was permanent. Although his form was a bit strange, it was very convenient for saving lives in critical moments.
Very quickly, he dragged the girl out of the water.
Because he rescued her quickly, the girl didn't choke on too much water.
She just seemed to be overly frightened and her consciousness was a bit blurry.
Lin Xiao completed the mission and intended to leave directly, hiding his achievements and fame.
But just as he was about to get up, his wrist was grabbed by the girl.
"You, you already don't want me and our child anymore, why did you still save us?"
Lin Xiao: ??
In less than half an hour, the number of question marks in Lin Xiao's head almost exceeded all of his past experiences.
Why is it children again?
He is such a fine young man, why is it always children, children, children every day?
Looking at the increasingly skeptical gazes of the people around him, Lin Xiao explained, "She's not conscious, she's talking nonsense. It has nothing to do with me, I was just passing by..."
But the girl was muddled and wouldn't let go of his hand.
This made his explanation seem very weak.
Some people even started pointing fingers.
"So she was abandoned by a scumbag, poor girl."
"Don't let the scumbag leave, he must take responsibility for this!"
"That's right, the girl is already pregnant. For a scumbag to do something like abandoning his wife and child at such a young age!"
"Too outrageous!"
"..."
