System’s Philosophies of Life (1)
Jiang Xiaoman was very short on points, and she was furious and wanted to beat Zhou Haiyang.
“My grandma said she’s going home soon! When she comes back later, I’m gonna ask her to beat you up!” Jiang Xiaoman felt really wronged and became angrier the more she thought about it.
She was not a money-losing good or a broom star! Grandma said she was her dearest baby, her intimate little padded jacket1.
The system hurriedly reminded her. “Host, you can’t borrow someone else’s hands to do the task, or you’ll lose the points!”
Then what could she do? She couldn’t defeat Zhou Haiyang.
He was so tall and strong, even her thighs weren’t as big as his fat arms!
“Host, use your clever little head! You have to believe that you’re the best in the world! You are the villainess. You can do it!” The system cheered for her.
Jiang Xiaoman’s nose sniffed, then she looked at Zhou Haiyang in front of her and asked him. “Do you want to eat candy?”
Of course, he wanted to!
Which kid didn’t like sweets? They could even lose their way if you gave them candies. Otherwise people wouldn’t tell them not to eat what a stranger offered.
Some greedy children could be abducted with just one candy.
Unfortunately, Zhou Haiyang was this kind of kid.
Zhou Haiyang nodded fiercely.
“Then let go of my hair first, and I will give you candy.” Said Jiang Xiaoman.
Jiang Xiaoman was finally able to rescue her twin-tails.
She touched her little head, of the twin-tails that had stood up symmetrically, one was now slumped down. They weren’t cute anymore!
Jiang Xiaoman pursed her lips angrily, thinking that she’d have to hit him soon.
“When you take someone’s food, your mouth becomes soft. When you take someone’s gift, your hand becomes short. If you eat my candy, then you cannot hit me.”
Zhou Haiyang immediately patted his chest when he heard that there were candies to be eaten and promised. “Don’t worry, I never hit children.”
Although there were a lot of things the system taught that Jiang Xiaoman couldn’t understand, she was able to quickly use the ones she could understand.
They were really useful.
No wonder the system said that they were the philosophies of life.
Her clever little head could always find a way to apply what she had learned, she really was amazing.
Jiang Xiaoman took out a pale yellow candy from the iron box and handed it to Zhou Haiyang. His eyes lit up and he quickly unwrapped it, then put it into his mouth.
Then…
Pa! His head was hit by Jiang Xiaoman.
Zhou Haiyang didn’t expect this to happen and was temporarily dazed, and the candy in his mouth was swallowed down his throat.
“Waa–“. After his big eyes and her small eyes stared at each other for a few seconds, Zhou Haiyang cried out with an earth-shattering howl. “Why did you hit me?!”
Jiang Xiaoman’s strength was like a kitten, it couldn’t hurt people at all. What he was upset about was the candy!
He didn’t get to taste it yet, but it was already gone!
Seeing him cry, Jiang Xiaoman also pursed her mouth and let out a ‘waa’, her tears flowing down even harder than him. “…I didn’t mean it. You pulled my hair and scolded me. I, I, I, I, I hate you… Anyways you ate my candy, so you can’t hit me.”
Zhou Haiyang stamped his feet in anger and could only cry out ‘waawaa’, and ran off with tears in his eyes.
?Ding Dong— Host, congratulations on completing the task. Reward: 10 points?
Jiang Xiaoman stopped crying immediately when she heard the sound of the system’s award that she hadn’t heard for a long time.
Big droplets of tears were still hanging on her eyelashes, but she had no time to wipe them and was just about to open the panel to look at her hard-earned 10 points.
But before it was even warm in her hand, she watched as the ten points quickly turned to zero, and on the spot where the debt was shown, -994 turned to -984.
It all happened too fast.
Jiang Xiaoman was stunned, and the tears that she stopped with much effort flowed again like a burst dam.
So this was how it felt to owe money.
It was too uncomfortable.
Her hard-earned points disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The system said, “Paying back what you owe is how it should be. Not paying them back is shameless.”
Jiang Xiaoman,”…wuuwuuwuu!!”
–
When Jiang Xiumei and Jiang Xing came back, they saw Jiang Xiaoman sitting at the side of the road. She was holding an iron box in her arms and crying miserably. Her little face was covered in tear marks, and she was sobbing pitifully.
