Am I destined to be cannon fodder? Unlock the system and lead the motherland

Chapter 49 The Little Sparrow is Unconvinced

Is that the material?"

Shu Manli sneered when she heard that, and was even more furious at Yun Ximo's "ungratefulness". "I'm planning your future with good intentions, but you're so ungrateful? Why did I feed you, an ungrateful wolf?" She became more unhappy when she thought of Yun Ling's generous donation of the building. What good could it do to him even if he was good to his niece?

Seeing this, Yun Ximo's eyes turned slightly. Seeing that the mother and daughter were suspicious of her, she didn't want to waste any more words, so she smiled and said, "You two really have rich imaginations, each one is more imaginative than the other."

Yun Yutong raised her head, her tone tinged with sarcasm: "Sister, did you do it but you don't dare to take responsibility for it?"

Yun Ximo smiled and said, "Instead of questioning me here, why don't you go directly to your father and ask him? Wouldn't it be more direct to ask your father?"

She stood up and drank the milk in the cup in one gulp. Her black and white pupils moved slightly. "I'm done. You guys take your time to savor it. No rush."

Then, she walked leisurely towards the stairs, her pace neither fast nor slow, a little faster than a snail but much slower than a rabbit.

As she was walking, she suddenly did a 180-degree turn, her face a look that said "Time for clarification." She said seriously, "I have to correct something. Don't just believe everything you hear. My return to Ivy League High School wasn't as simple as relying on my uncle to donate a building, understand? This matter needs to be clarified. We have to talk about the facts and reason."

Then, she added, her tone tinged with confusion: "As for that top-scoring class, I never even considered it in my life plan. So what? If I don't get into the top-scoring class, will I be unable to continue my studies? Humph, the ocean of knowledge is vast, there's no sea that can't be swum in!"

When Yun Yutong heard this, her fingers unconsciously clenched into small fists. The unhappiness in her heart was like the water in a pond rippling in the wind, spreading out in circles. This was just Yun Ximo showing off.

Yun Yutong raised her lips in a subtle arc: "Sister, actually, you just need to ask my aunt..."

At this moment, Shu Manli interrupted her, her tone cold: "That's enough, Yun Ximo, do you still want to make things difficult for Yi Meng and embarrass her?"

Yun Ximo's eyes became deep and unfathomable. "Four years ago, on the second day after I returned to the Yun family, I participated in the Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition and won first prize."

The hall suddenly fell into silence.

Yun Yutong's face showed obvious surprise. It was obvious that she knew nothing about this matter. After all, she was not present when Yun Ximo returned to the Yun family.

Shu Manli, on the other hand, felt a mixture of emotions; she had actually forgotten about this matter. Back then, Mo had gotten into Qingteng High School precisely because of this award, but it was Yun Yimeng who had taken her to the school to handle the admissions paperwork, so she had been deliberately vague, making people mistakenly believe that Yun Ximo had been able to get into the top-ranked class thanks to Yun Yimeng.

Yun Yutong observed Shu Manli's reaction and had a rough idea of ​​what was going on. She snorted coldly, thinking, "It's just a science and technology innovation award. What's the big deal? What good could it possibly do? How can it compare to the International Youth Piano Award she won abroad? Comparing the brightness of the stars to the moon—the difference is not even a fraction."

She clutched the bag tightly in her hand and whispered, "Mom, I have to go to piano lessons."

As she spoke, her eyes were lowered like willow branches dyed red by the setting sun, making people want to explore but afraid to disturb some hidden little lake.

Yun Ximo collapsed onto the small sofa, her entire body sinking softly into it, ready to have some fun with her friends on the phone screen...

Luo Luo's voice, which was inappropriate at the time, exploded in her ears. With a look of "something bad is going to happen", she said: "Momo, congratulations, the express delivery has arrived, please sign for it!"

Yun Ximo rolled her eyes helplessly. "What kind of trouble has this brought me? I just had a duel of wits and courage with Shu Manli and Yun Yutong, the mother and daughter, downstairs. I just wanted to find a place to breathe and have a cup of tea. Why is this trouble like a dog-skin plaster that I can't get rid of?"

After traveling through time and space to become a character destined to face a bumpy road, every day I am either avoiding pitfalls or filling them up. There is no day of peace. Is it easy for me?
Hearing her muttering, Luo Luo immediately soothed her with an "I understand you" tone, "Remember that Qin Chen? You gave him a terrible beating on the first day you traveled through time, sending him straight to the hospital. And now, his backer, Madam Qin, has come to see you in person."

Yun Ximo raised her eyebrows: "Oh, so that's what happened. I thought it was a big deal."

Then she said leisurely, "Qin Chen deserved a beating, which was the least of his problems. I was very kind not to cripple him. Not only did he toy with the original owner, he also tricked her into a hotel and drugged her. If the original owner hadn't had a special body and was not sensitive to drugs, she would have become the 'new internet celebrity heroine' by now.

The original owner already had a bad reputation, and now he's become notorious, and might even be kicked out by the Yun family."

After saying that, Yun Ximo shrugged, a devilish smile curled up at the corner of her mouth: "I'm not fighting for justice on the street, I'm doing justice, doing good deeds on the side, and sharing some of God's worries."

Then, she began to talk nonsense in a serious tone: "Ever since I 'entered' this body and took on this young lady's memories and emotions, I've felt like I've shouldered a great mission. I have to help her wipe out all the grudges in her little notebook one by one. Qin Chen and the Qin family behind him, no one can be left out, they all have to sign my 'revenge express'."

"As for that Madam Qin, she actually came to my house in person to demand an explanation. This is a 'more quantity, no price increase' package that's been delivered right to my door! I want to see how she plans to 'settle the score' later. Is she planning to knock me out with her abacus?"

Luo Luo shook her head and interrupted, "Momo, you sound very impressive, but don't forget, the Qin family isn't the cabbage you get at the market that you can just pick off a couple of pieces of."

Yun Ximo took a sip of water, then slowly walked to the balcony and glanced down casually.

A quick glance revealed that outside the iron gate, a row of small cars, black enough to reveal magic (no, they could actually reveal human figures) were waiting quietly, as low-key as Batman taking a daytime stroll, and as orderly as a military parade.

Especially the lady who got out of the first luxury car. The cool air she exuded was enough to double the sales of popsicles in the entire neighborhood. If the lady went to the North Pole for a walk, I guess the penguins would have to wear cotton jackets!

At this moment, a little sparrow whooshed in from some corner where even GPS couldn't locate it, and landed accurately on Yun Ximo's sunny balcony.

Pretending to be experienced, she flapped her still-feathered wings and lowered her voice: [Sister, this time you've stepped on someone's toes and you're in big trouble!] Yun Ximo, as calm as a cat just off a yoga mat, lazily replied, "Oh?" In that tone, "Even if the sky falls, there are still tall people to hold it up. What's there to be afraid of?"

When the little sparrow heard this, he was instantly stunned by her calmness, his eyes widening: "Oh my god, is this girl from outer space? She doesn't follow the script of Earthlings!"

Yun Ximo looked at its jaw-dropping expression and couldn't help laughing. She blew on it, her movements so gentle that they could have blown away a cloud: "Little guy, come back to life! Stop performing stop-motion animation here.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp!" The sparrow seemed to be sprung up by a spring and danced a funny circle around Yun Ximo. Its feathers were so surprised that they almost stood up like Teletubbies. "You...you, you, you can actually chat with us little chirping guys?!"

"I need to confirm whether I have accidentally entered some magical dimension, or whether I ate too many pine nuts last night and am still dizzy now?"

Yun Ximo suppressed a laugh and nodded solemnly, "Yeah, you're right. This dream is indeed quite textured. The feel and the airiness are both top-notch. Even Sparrow's complaints are so clear."

The sparrow's small black eyes widened in disbelief: "Wow, this is even more exciting than finding a hidden pine cone treasure!"

Yun Ximo's mouth curled up into a crescent shape. She waved her hand, as if to disperse a group of overly enthusiastic little fans: "My little Jijizha, your chubby little body is almost killing me! I'm busy like a headless fly, just go and play with the sand over there, okay?"

The sparrow was instantly thrilled upon hearing this. It puffed out its tiny chest (actually more like a ball of fluff) and flapped its tiny wings pretentiously, with a "I'm capable" expression on its face: "What? Fighting? Count me in! I'm the superhero Sparrow!"

Yun Ximo couldn't hold it in any longer and chuckled, "Oh my? You? You call yourself the Sparrow Man? Are you sure you're not here to make fun of me? If you go there, you might be eaten by the 'Sparrow chips' you treat as a snack before you even get close to the door!"

When the sparrow heard this, a flash of "being seriously underestimated" flashed across its eyes, but soon it fluffed up its feathers and flapped its wings, shouting loudly: "Hmph! A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated! Although the sparrow is small, that's no big deal. I'll go get some help and call in Big Brother Woodpecker."

After saying that, it deliberately turned its head away, putting on a proud look that said, "Don't regret it."

Yun Ximo was amused by this funny scene and laughed uncontrollably. She shook her head helplessly: "Alright, alright, I received your courage, but this time it really isn't suitable for you. Next time there's a mission suitable for Sparrow, I'll definitely look for you first, okay?"

The sparrow nodded with satisfaction. Although he might still be muttering in his heart, "Next time I must show off my skills", his face already showed an expression of "I am very sensible" and he flapped his wings and flew away.

After circling in the air for several circles, the sparrow landed steadily on a lush tree not far away. It opened its eyes wide and looked around, just like a diligent little sentry.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves and falls on its shiny feathers, sparkling with golden light.

At this time, people have already filed out of the cars, and the car show has turned into an acrobatic troupe.

Yun Ximo's eyes narrowed into crescents, a playful smile played at the corners of her mouth as she began her "guess the number" game. "One, two, three... huh? These auspicious numbers are making me nervous. Where are the Eighteen Arhats gathering?"

"How can I, with my frail frame, withstand this kind of 'Royal Guard' treatment? Do you think you're treating me like a head of state on a foreign visit?"

Luo Luo was completely bewildered, his eyes dazed. "Mrs. Qin, are you trying to reduce the burden on the Earth and wipe you off the face of the earth? This whole situation, a chat over tea? That's out of the question!"

Then, Luo Luo turned on her motherly mode again: "You better be smart! If there's some 'life never ends, the battle never ends' plot hidden behind this, remember to call me immediately! Don't force it, we're not going for a hard fight! We won't give up easily unless it's absolutely necessary!"

Yun Ximo shrugged: "Don't worry, I don't have any other skills, but I have the ultimate escape skill."

"If all else fails, I'll do a Fast and Furious and see if they can catch up with this 'runaway bronco' of mine!
——In the living room.

Shu Manli glanced towards the third floor and whispered, "Troublemaker." Her tone was clearly unhappy. Then she turned to the housekeeper and ordered, "Go, call her down."

The door was so unlucky today that it encountered the strongest series of "dong dong dong" attacks in history. I was afraid that the person in the house was wearing the coolest noise-canceling headphones and completely ignored the call from the outside world.

"Miss, please come downstairs quickly and don't make the lady angry." The butler's loud voice echoed around and around in the corridor. In the end, he just shook hands with a few grains of dust, which was considered a polite response.

It is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop. Oh no, even a pin drop would make you feel inferior here, because this place is so quiet that even a pin would feel like a source of noise pollution.

Upon seeing this, the housekeeper's expression instantly changed from "clear sky" to "dark clouds pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it."

"Hmph, soft tactics aren't enough, huh? Time to try some hardcore tactics!"

result--

"Bang!!!" There was a loud noise.

The door was like an angry bird slamming it open with all its might. The force and momentum nearly gave the butler a "straight to the point, plus a concussion" deluxe package, straight out of an "Initial D" thriller. His heart nearly jumped out of his throat, and he began to question his life: "Is this the end of my life today?"

Legs? Forget about it. My legs have already turned on "auto-shaking mode" out of fear. The frequency and rhythm are enough to win the "leg shaking competition".

At this moment, the girl in the room appeared casually against the light, with a smile on her lips that said "Come on, I'll kill you."

Then, she said slowly, "Oh? Looking for me? Are you planning to invite me for tea or chat about the philosophy of life?"
