Is The System Smart? (2)
“System?” Jiang Xiaoman called.
The system didn’t respond.
“System, don’t be sad.” Jiang Xiaoman said. “Although you are stupid and not as smart as other large systems, I still like you the most.”
“This sentence is also true.”
System: “…wuu wuu wuu!!”
It shouldn’t have asked this question!
It regretted it!
Could it use a Revocation Card on the host? Wasn’t this too scary? The system’s fragile heart couldn’t take it.
However, when it glanced at Jiang Xiaoman’s balance, the system dismissed the idea.
Its host had no points left anymore!
Sigh, a system’s life was so hard.
For its own physical and mental health, the system did not ask anything else.
When the effect duration expired, the host would naturally revert to its former cute self, and it wouldn’t be sad anymore.
That night, Jiang Xing went home.
He recently opened a branch office, very busy.
Fortunately, no matter how busy he was, now that the dust finally settled, he finally had some free time.
He kept Jiang Xiumei’s advice in mind. Whenever he had time, he had to go home for dinner, and so he came back.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw his niece poking her head at the door and waiting. When she saw him, she smiled very sweetly.
“Uncle, you are back.” Jiang Xiaoman shook her head, then ran forward and gave him a hug, “Uncle, I miss you so much.”
“So cheesy?” Jiang Xing felt very happy mixed with some unease from being treated too well. He joked, “Aren’t you just lying to Uncle to make me happy?”
“Of course, if I didn’t have anything to ask, I wouldn’t hug you.” Jiang Xiaoman covered her mouth as soon as she finished speaking.
Actually, Veritaserum’s effect had already expired, but there might have still been some side effects. Jiang Xiaoman subconsciously told the truth.
Jiang Xing: “…”
Jiang Xing choked with anger and glared at her, “Speak, do you want me to go climb a mountain of swords or walk through a sea of fire?”
Jiang Xiaoman replied, “I don’t want you to climb a mountain of swords or go through a sea of fire, I just want Uncle to find me a private tutor.”
He talked about a private tutor before. Jiang Xing was very busy and didn’t have time to find one, but he always kept it at the back of his mind. He just happened to be free recently, so might as well get things done.
Jiang Xing did not hesitate and immediately agreed, “Okay, Uncle will do it tomorrow. Tell me, what kind of teacher do you want?”
Jiang Xiaoman’s own school studies were fine, but now she had to study the first-year second semester lessons and even the second-year first semester lessons by herself. It was always good to have a teacher by her side to teach her, she was aware of the benefits of having a good teacher and helpful friend.
“It’s fine if they can teach culture. It’s best if they’re kind and gentle, I don’t like those who are too fierce.”
Jiang Xing nodded, indicating that he understood.
The next day, Jiang Xing went to work as expected without any delay.
When Jiang Xiaoman was in school, she told Yu Qingshi about it.
“I’m waiting for my uncle to find me a tutor, so I won’t be able to do homework with you in the future.”
Yu Qingshi was taken aback and frowned. “Why? Is it because my teachers don’t teach well?”
“Of course not. Your teachers are all teachers personally selected by Uncle Yu. How could they be bad? But what I want to learn now is not your courses like piano, English conversation, table manners, etc., I definitely can’t teach Sun Xiaojie those.”
Sun Xiaojie, Sun Xiaojie again.
Yu Qingshi secretly gritted his teeth. He suddenly felt anger building in his chest with nowhere to vent, and his eyes turned red.
There was already Zhang Xinhua and Ye Jiajia, and now there was another bunch of more people.
Yu Qingshi said coldly, “Those who don’t know might think that you’re being a mom and dad again.”
After saying that, he paddled his bike faster and sped up alone, putting some distance between them.
… Jiang Xiaoman quickly caught up.
Jiang Xiaoman asked him, “Why are you angry? It’s not like I’m not looking for you to play anymore.”
“Humph.” His face turned to the left.
“I’m just afraid of holding you back. My uncle also said that he wanted to hire a tutor for me. I have to satisfy his wish.”
“Hmph.” His face turned to the right.
“…”
Jiang Xiaoman decided to ignore him.
She didn’t know why he was angry, boys really gave people a headache.
Even though Yu Qingshi turned his head left and right stating his displeasure, it didn’t do anything since the matter had already been decided. When Jiang Xiaoman had decided on something, not even nine oxen could hold her back.
Jiang Xing also worked really fast. In just two days, he had already found a tutor for Jiang Xiaoman.
It was a woman, gentle and beautiful.
The tutor looked very shy; she was a gentle and beautiful big sister who spoke a little coquettishly.
The teacher came to the Jiang house for the first time and sat in the living room, looking very awkward.
Jiang Xiaoman sat opposite her, blinking at her with her big eyes.
“My surname is Tao and my name is Tao Tao1. You can call me Teacher Tao.”
“Hello, teacher.” Jiang Xiaoman was very well-behaved.
Her breathing was hurried, her pupils were dilated, and her fingers trembled. It seemed that her private teacher was more nervous than herself.
Where did Uncle find her?
Footnote:
1. The character for her surname (the first Tao) and her personal name (the second Tao) is different.
