Chapter 7
No matter how reluctant, since this is tied to her little life, Wu Fei decides to at least put some effort with this.
She glances at the sleeping fluff ball and her eyes involuntary twitch. How annoying! Is this thing actually a system or what? Sleeping in while its Host is working hard!
With a black face, the woman picks up the fluff of ball.
"System! Wake up. We're going down to eat breakfast." She pokes the thing awake before deciding to bring this little thing along with her to go down to eat.
Naive little Wu Fei didn't take into consideration the reactions the people downstairs would have. After all, ever since Wu Fei shut herself into her room; no one had ever seen her stepped out of that room for a year and half. Forget about her brothers whom she loves and adores so much, even her parents and grandparents had never seen this girl go out of the room.
Xiao Yue was the exception, the only one Wu Fei allowed in her room just for the sake of having someone to order around. That little maid had been the one to take care of the Young Miss' food and needs, the link between Wu Fei and her family.
086 stirred awake, peacefully laying on its Host arms, it observed the home of its Host. 086 couldn't help feel awed at the sight of the simple but exquisite decorations of the house. While simple in design, it still has an aura of elegance and luxury.
Host is really rich ah! No wonder she's so spoiled! The little system thought to itself.
On their way to the dining room, the cute thing finally noticed an oddity. Every single person they pa.s.sed by looked as though they had seen a ghost.
〘Host, why do they look like they've seen someone rise from the dead ah?〙It questions cutely not even trying to hide how it could speak. After all, all those people would only think of the system as an invention of the third young master.
Wu Fei peers down at the cute thing and giving in to the temptation, her little claws starts patting and playing with the system.
"That's because I haven't gone out of the room for a year and a half. Everyone is probably surprised ah." She answers absentmindedly.
〘Why?〙The innocence and curiosity on its mechanical voice could be heard and Wu Fei's heart soften.
"Because I..." Wu Fei pauses, eyes glazing off and its light dimming a bit. 086
"I want to play games for the rest of my life!" She chirps cheerfully.
She hasten her steps. Inwardly, little student Wu Fei couldn't help but feel guilty for lying to this little guy.
I'll try to listen to your words more ah, She thought.
The poor little system who already knew about said lie:〘...〙Host please don't lie! 086 knows all information about you ah! Well... Some of them really, but still!
When the pair of Host and system reach the dinning room, a butler and maid opens the door for her, bowing deeply while maintaining an expressionless face.
Wu Fei adjusts her posture. After all, no matter how much she acts contrary to her ident.i.ty, she is and will always be a young miss of an influential family.
Unknowingly, Wu Fei's aura mimicked that of her older brothers. With her bearing and momentum similar to her oldest brother, it causes the servants to stare a bit in awe.
As expected of the young miss! Such pressure and dominance! No wonder the Wu Jia doesn't want just anyone to see her at all. A daughter like this is an absolute treasure!
Pei! What marriage? What furthering relations.h.i.+ps and connections through blood relations? With her potential, what's the use of those ah!
"Hmph! Little Yu, you finally remembered to come out of that hole? This old lady was ready to have Yue girl to call you ah!"
The occupants all turned around, hearing the sound of the door opening and closing. Grandmother Wu quickly scolds while turning her head to look at the person who arrived.
086: 〘??〙 When did Host's name changed ah?
Wu Fei: "??" When did my name changed?
Everyone in the room: "!!" What is their darling pearl doing here?
"Fei Fei?" Wu Ling Xun looks at his darling little sister in surprise. What is this girl doing here?
"Dear granddaughter!" Grandmother Wu's harsh expression quickly turns gentle, those watching her couldn't help but let out a sigh. As expected, the only one who can soothe this old bat's temper would be their precious little pearl. "Quick quick, let grandmother see you ah!"
She was about to stand up when Wu Fei quickly walks towards her.
"Gandmother~ Fei Fei misses grandmother so much ah!" The woman abandoned her dignity and quickly sold meng to her family.
086: 〘...〙Creator I want to switch Hosts! All this girl knows are the art of lazing about, squandering her family's fortune and selling meng to live!
Everyone else besides Grandmother Wu: "..." How come Fei Fei only noticed that old woman?
Grandmother Wu gently cradle's the little girl's jade cheeks, giving in to the temptation by pinching her cheeks a few times and then inspects her face cautiously.
"Ah, it seems like you've became more beautiful. Dear Fei Fei, are you hungry?" Without waiting for Wu Fei's answer, the old matriarch quickly signals for people to bring in their food.
"Sit sit ah." The woman was about to have her darling granddaughter sit beside her when she noticed that the seats next her were occupied by her husband and son.
Just as she was about to force one of them to move away, little rabbit Wu Fei quickly escapes from the grasp of the old woman.
"Big brother~!" She cutely calls out and without hesitation ran to Wu Ling Xun's side and sat there. Hm! As expected, the only way to keep Grandmother and the others from clas.h.i.+ng is by staying at her elder brother's side.
"Fei Fei," The handsome man smiles gently, his cold expression melting at the sight of the girl's smile. He gently pats the young girl's hair while sending smug looks towards the two glowering pair of couples. As expected, his darling sister loves him the most ah.
Tacitly, the five people didn't dare asked why the girl went back on her own words and left her room.
A happy and harmonious atmosphere appears in the room as the people in converse with one another.

『Little Black Box』
She should be like this forever. Smiling happily and surrounded by loved ones.
I want to give her what I couldn't give to that girl...
To atone for my sins, to make up for it...
Why do I have to pretend and to feed her with lies?
... I hope that her ending wouldn't be so similar to ours.
