Chapter 7 - Make It So Exciting

The second message was sent by Li Weian. [Are you still angry about what happened in sports last week? Did you beat him up? If you are still angry, let's beat him up again.]

Zhao Xier paused for a moment when she saw that. She would have forgotten about that if Li Weian did not mention it. Their school's basketball team had a friendly match with a neighboring school's team. The boy in the back did not notice her. When he tripped, he managed to grab her waist. Zhao Xier was a girl, so she had a thin waist. She decided to beat the kid when he pinched her.

Zhao Xier got even more upset. [What are you talking about? I've forgotten about that.]

She got a reply from Zhang Yuan. [Then what happened? Did you play the game with your feet? Someone was scolding us as noobs just now.]

Zhao Xier remained silent for a few moments before telling him what had transpired that day. She did not mention the system or the male lead, of course. [I am in a horrible mood. This morning, I accidentally scared a kid to tears. I can't live with my conscience.]

Zhang Yuan was taken aback. [Only that?]

Li Weian also sent several question marks. [??? No, when did you grow a conscience?]

Zhao Xier was angry. [Go f*ck yourself!]

Zhang Yuan and Li Weian realized Zhao Xier was genuinely in a terrible mood, so they grew more serious. Zhang Yuan tried to console Zhao Xier.

[We're just joking. Just get some candy for the kid. They don't hold grudges anyway.]

Zhao Xier paused for a moment. [If it was an adult?]

Li Weian replied to her. [Adult? A girl or a boy?]

Zhao Xier wanted to say that it was a boy. However, she remembered that she had offended Xiao Mohan's family. She thought Zhang Yuan and Li Weian would ask more questions if she said that. 

After all, she was not typically interested in girls, and those two people had frequently said negative things about her in private, claiming she was either cold or preferred guys. As a result, Zhao Xier told them it was a girl.

[Do you have a girlfriend now?]

[You are such a jerk. You didn't even tell us you have a girlfriend!]

Zhao Xier replied to them. [Get lost! That lady is over 40 years old. What the hell were you people thinking?]

There was a brief silence on the other end of the connection before Zhao Xier's phone vibrated. [Brother, do you have to make your first relationship so exciting?] 

Zhao Xier remained silent. She thought she was insane for confiding in Zhang Yuan and Li Weian about her concerns! In annoyance, she flung her phone aside and lay on the sofa with her arms as pillows, thinking about things. After a brief moment of thought, she summoned the utility system in her head, saying, "System, I have a question for you."

The utility system said, "No, host. You can't think about the male lead's mother. If you do, no matter how hard you try to achieve your missions, you will be slain by the male protagonist."

Zhao Xier's mouth twitched slightly. She had no idea the utility system could read her conversation with Zhang Yuan and Li Weian. She also did not expect that foolish system to believe she was in love with Xiao Mohan's mother! She took a long breath, unable to mask her annoyance.

"Who the f*ck said I was interested in Ye Zhen!? You are not human, but that doesn't mean I am not! I did not call you out for anything else; I simply wanted to inquire about your settings. How do I change your settings? Before Xiao Mohan, I didn't seem to have any limitations on what I could do. I previously assisted Chen Guang in pushing his tricycle. Therefore that should be deemed a violation of my character settings, right? However, why am I being punished for nothing?" Zhao Xier had worked hard to retain her reputation as an evil supporting male character during her year of transmigration. Even cruel dogs would loathe her. No one in the courtyard liked her because she had maintained her image so well.

Chen Guang disliked her as well. Zhao Xier, of course, did not care if they liked her. Chen Guang got up early to offer breakfast when it snowed heavily last winter. Finally, his tricycle became trapped in the mud, and he could not escape. Early in the morning, few individuals were passing by. At first, Zhao Xier did not worry when she observed Chen Guang pushing the tricycle vigorously and sweating in the middle of winter. She gritted her teeth and stepped ahead to assist after remembering how she had eaten Chen Guang's steamed buns for free for a year.
