109: Father and System

After finishing the meal, Gao Xiaofan said goodbye to Zhang Dali and left in a carefree manner.

The shadows of the two figures stretched longer and longer under the streetlights.

Zhang Dali watched the direction they left in, his face full of envy.

"Sigh, it's a pity I have to run the shop. If I can't make any money, I'll have to go back and inherit the family business~"

...That night, Gao Xiaofan slept in a daze. After the earnest teachings of Brother Suo over the past two nights, he was now looking forward to what tonight would bring.

System Notification: You want to kill me? You can try!

Father: I will give you a swift end!

System Notification: Better not make a move; I'll win anyway.

Father: My fate is mine to control, not the heavens'!

System Notification: Some mistakes cannot be made twice.

Father: My original intention shall never be forgotten... Gao Xiaofan suddenly sat up in shock as the voices echoing in his mind slowly dissipated.

Looking at the still-sleeping Qiu Gu, Gao Xiaofan grabbed his phone and quickly tapped on the keyboard.

It's been three nights in a row. What on earth does it mean? What is his father trying to tell him?

While recording the words from his mind over these three nights, his thoughts wandered.

His current state of mind was a mess. Tonight's voice was exactly the same as the first night; his father was filled with anger and excitement.

Meanwhile, the system notification still sounded like a demon.

His father wanted to kill the system???

The system made a mistake?? Was it hurt by his father?

What happened between them? Why were they always lines from Yasuo?

My dad is Brother Suo???

Gao Xiaofan shook his head. A fictional character? How could that be possible?

Looking at the lines compiled on his phone, he sat blankly at the head of the bed.

The first and second nights were dialogues between his father and the system, full of hostility.

The second night was his father's monologue, desolated yet carrying a hint of arrogance.

Gao Xiaofan moved the lines from the second night to the very front of his notes. As he recited them, his eyes lit up.

It makes sense now~

The monologue from the second night should be his father's inner thoughts from his youth. At that time, there shouldn't have been any conflict with the system.

The order is correct.

But what happened between his father and the system after that?

Gao Xiaofan leaned against the head of the bed in a daze, constantly searching his memories, his thoughts returning to when he was thirteen.

His parents had been in a car accident, but they were in very high spirits. That night, both of them, who never drank, had a bit of alcohol.

"Finally got rid of it. Xiao Xi, we won't have to suffer anymore."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, there hasn't been any movement for a long time."

"I mean, are you sure it was torture?"

"What else could it be?"

"It's okay, Hubby. I'll support you in whatever you want to do."

Until this moment, Gao Xiaofan realized that he seemed to have forgotten many things, or perhaps he had never cared about these things before.

Gao Xiaofan tapped on the keyboard, writing down his guess.

His father hurt the system at age 13 for unknown reasons. At age 15, it was still a car accident; his father wanted to kill the system again but failed.

He sighed, turned off his phone, fumbled for a cigarette, and lit one for himself.

What kind of melodramatic nonsense is this??

It was one thing for the system to be so lame, but his system actually had a grudge against his father?

Could it be that the son has to pay for the father's debts???

Unable to figure it out, Gao Xiaofan stubbed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, pulled the covers over his head, and went back to sleep.

He didn't know when, but Gao Xiaofan opened his bleary eyes and looked at Qiu Gu, who was leaning against the side of the bed.

"Xiaofan, it's already ten o'clock~"

He looked around in confusion, then gave an "oh."

Half an hour later, Gao Xiaofan sat in the driver's seat with one hand on the steering wheel, speaking passionately.

"Brothers, it really has nothing to do with me~ It's mainly because our Brother Gu kept sleeping in, you know~"

The bullet screen in the livestream room was scrolling rapidly.

Yao Zhi 123: "I've been waiting since early morning for the stream to start. I want to send you some local specialties!"

Orange Dawn: "Family, who understands this? Brother Wo Zi has finally started streaming~"

"Who is Brother Gu???"

Beside him, Qiu Gu was holding the Gimbal and the phone. Hearing Gao Xiaofan's words, his face turned completely dark.

Gao Xiaofan looked at the camera, spit flying as he spoke.

"Brothers, the nationwide fishing tour begins! We are heading to the first fishing spot..."

At this point, he suddenly stalled.

He suddenly realized that he hadn't decided where to start fishing yet.

Qiu Gu was also stunned for a moment, then reacted and pointed at the phone.

Gao Xiaofan's eyes lit up!

"The first fishing spot must be chosen by you, Brothers~ Type the location in the public chat, and we'll take a screenshot to pick the first spot!"

Then Gao Xiaofan took the phone handed over by Qiu Gu, opened TikTok, and found his livestream room.

Gao Xiaofan pointed the phone screen at the camera and said with a smile.

"The countdown begins~ Three~ Two~ One."

He slammed the screenshot button with one hand, then slowly turned it around. Beside him, Qiu Gu also held the Gimbal, following the phone screen in Gao Xiaofan's hand.

"Hmm, the first one is White Emperor Who Loves Sweet Potato Porridge."

"Xiaolangdi~"

Gao Xiaofan read it word by word, then looked at the camera!

"Alright, our first spot is Xiaolangdi. Let's go!"

Qiu Gu looked at the excited Gao Xiaofan and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Xiaofan, do you know where it is?"

Gao Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"Sorry, sorry, I forgot. I'll set the navigation now."

Glancing at the distance on the map, Gao Xiaofan silently took the Gimbal from Qiu Gu, pointed the camera at himself, and quietly got out of the car.

Under Qiu Gu's bewildered gaze, he walked to the passenger seat.

"You drive. I'm short a hand, and I'll get points deducted if the traffic police catch me~"

Qiu Gu opened the car door in a daze and got out. Hearing Gao Xiaofan's words, he was speechless.

You just don't want to drive long distance, just say it. Now you're saying you don't have a hand~

Gao Xiaofan climbed into the passenger seat, clamped the Gimbal between his legs, clicked with his right hand to lean the seat back, wriggled contentedly, and then picked up the Gimbal.

"Alright, Brothers, we're heading out now~ Xiaolangdi Reservoir, here we come~"

"Xiaolangdi Reservoir, Yuchuan City, Yuzhou Province. Total distance 735km, estimated time 8 hours."

Qiu Gu picked up his phone from the driver's seat and started the navigation. Hearing the voice announcement, he was completely stunned.

The bullet screen in the livestream room hadn't really stopped. Although it was morning, there were over 800,000 people watching online.

"Brother Wo Zi, how about changing it? This is too far~"

"Yeah, your injury hasn't even healed yet. By the way, what's the deal with your left arm?"

"Although I'm not a medical student, regarding the condition of Brother Wo Zi's left arm that you're all concerned about, I can clearly tell you—I don't know either."

"Thank you. Listening to your words is like listening to words."

Gao Xiaofan looked at the messages on the bullet screen and chuckled.

"Is distance a problem? It's not a problem. For me, your happiness is always more important than what's right or wrong, let alone distance~"

"Right, Brother Gu~"

Qiu Gu nodded with a miserable face, started the car, and floored the gas.
