Siheyuan: Hang Jia Dongxu, smash Banggeng to death!
Chapter 396 Companionship
Two adults spent the afternoon building blocks on the carpet with a small child.
The castle was very tall and beautiful. Tangtang clapped her hands and laughed, "Guoguo will be very happy to see it when he comes back."
Looking at Tangtang's smiling face, Zhang Shiyu felt a mix of emotions.
The system's voice echoed deep within her consciousness, tinged with urgency: [Host, Lin Tian has been missing for over half a year. This is a good opportunity. As long as you take Tangtang hostage and force him to show himself…]
"Shut up!"
Zhang Shiyu cursed inwardly, "Are you trying to kill me? Lin Tian is only temporarily missing, he's not dead."
"What if he suddenly comes back one day and finds out I've been trying to harm Tangtang? Do you think I'd still be alive?"
"Are you getting cocky? When they were around, I didn't dare to breathe, I just froze and pretended to be dead. Now you're jumping around like a madman."
system:"……"
"Besides, with Lin Tian's power to blow up the entire island nation, who could kill him? He's probably somewhere dealing with something and can't get away right now. If I were to make a move now, I'd be courting death."
Zhang Shiyu scoffed, "You want me to get revenge, why don't you do it yourself?"
The system's voice trailed off: "[I'm just reminding the host of the mission time...]"
"Two and a half years, what's the rush?"
Zhang Shiyu interrupted it, thinking to herself.
Since I have such a good relationship with Tangtang now, I will definitely ask Lin Tian to help me get rid of this system when he comes back.
For Tangtang's sake, he might agree. Wouldn't that be better than worrying about the stupid system?
The system fell completely silent.
Zhang Shiyu knew that it had been convinced by itself, or rather, it had been frightened by Lin Tian.
Tangtang fell asleep at night.
JoJo tucked her in, gently closed the door, and went downstairs.
Zhang Shiyu was still sitting in the living room, holding a cup of hot tea, looking at the night view outside the window.
"Shiyu, thank you."
JoJo sat down next to her. "If it weren't for you these past few days, I really don't know what I would have done."
Zhang Shiyu shook her head, "Cousin, don't say that. Tangtang is so cute, I like her very much too."
Besides, I'm also part of this family; it's my duty to take care of her.
JoJo looked at her with gratitude in her eyes, acknowledging her cousin's worth.
"I haven't had a chance to talk to you properly about your parents' situation. You're all alone in Hong Kong, with no one to rely on. From now on, this will be your home."
Whether Xiaotian comes back or not, you will always be our family.
Zhang Shiyu felt a warmth in her heart, and her eyes welled up with tears.
In this unfamiliar world, in this unfamiliar era, JoJo and Sugar are the people who are truly good to her.
During this time together, I realized she wasn't an emotionless puppet; she also longed for family and to be loved.
"Cousin, thank you." Her voice was choked with emotion.
JoJo patted her hand, "Don't think too much, get some rest. You have to take Tangtang to the amusement park tomorrow, she's been talking about it for ages."
"Mm." Zhang Shiyu nodded.
JoJo went upstairs.
Zhang Shiyu sat alone in the living room, drinking tea and looking at the night view outside the window.
Her heart, however, was at peace.
The thought of Lin Tian, that eight-year-old child, that ruthless killer, always comes to mind.
She didn't know where he was, what he was doing, or when he would come back.
But she knew he would come back.
Because Sugar is here, because JoJo is here, because this is his home.
Zhang Shiyu touched her chest, feeling a system that wanted her to seek revenge and send her to her death.
It's damn good.
She can't die. She still has two and a half years. She needs to wait for Lin Tian to come back. She needs to confess. She needs to ask him to help destroy this system.
She wanted freedom, she wanted to truly live.
Zhang Shiyu stood up and walked to the window.
A cool night breeze blew by.
Tangtang woke up early the next morning.
Wearing her pajamas and barefoot, she ran to Zhang Shiyu's room, climbed onto the bed, and snuggled into her blankets.
"Sister Shiyu, are we going to the amusement park today?"
Zhang Shiyu was woken up by her, and smiled when she looked at her little face.
"Yes, of course we'll go! What does Tangtang want to play?"
"A Ferris wheel! And a carousel! And bumper cars!"
Tangtang counted on her fingers, "I want to eat cotton candy, and I want to eat ice cream!"
"Alright, alright, whatever you say."
Zhang Shiyu sat up and pinched her little cheek. "But you have to let your sister get up and wash first, right?"
"Yes!" Tangtang jumped off the bed and ran out barefoot. "Sister, hurry up!"
Zhang Shiyu smiled as she watched her cheerful figure disappear into the distance.
JoJo came out of the next room and smiled too.
"This child is so energetic so early in the morning."
"Cousin, are you going too?" Zhang Shiyu asked.
JoJo shook her head.
"Something came up at the company today, you go ahead and take good care of Tangtang for me."
"Yes, don't worry, cousin. By the way, cousin, is Detective Lei Luo interested in you? He's contacted you several times."
JoJo said shyly, "No, just a friend."
"Friend, really?"
Zhang Shiyu joked, which made Jojo even more embarrassed. She said "I have to go to work" and left in a hurry.
I've had breakfast.
Zhang Shiyu led Tangtang out the door.
Mr. Liu drove them to the amusement park, and the car traveled along the winding mountain road of Taiping Mountain.
Tangtang pressed her face against the car window, looking at the scenery outside, chattering away incessantly.
"Sister Shiyu, look at that cloud, doesn't it look like a cotton candy?"
"Yes, it's similar," Zhang Shiyu replied with a smile.
"Sister Shiyu, look at that tree, it's so tall, taller than our house."
"Yes, it's taller than our house."
"Sister Shiyu, what do you think Guoguo is doing right now? Has he eaten breakfast? Is he thinking about Tangtang?"
Zhang Shiyu paused for a moment, then picked her up and placed her on her lap, holding her close. "Brother must be thinking about Tangtang. Tangtang is so cute, how could brother not think about her?"
"Why doesn't Guoguo call Tangtang?" Tangtang looked up, her big eyes full of confusion.
"Because there's no phone where my brother went."
Tangtang lowered her head, remained silent for a while, and then asked, "Sister Shiyu, is Guoguo not coming back?"
"He'll come back. Even if someone else can't come back, your brother will. Tangtang, be a good girl, okay? Be happy, alright?"
That's an annihilation system.
Zhang Shiyu sighed, and at the same time, she was grateful for Lin Tian's sudden departure, which gave her a chance to develop a relationship with Tangtang.
Otherwise, if Lin Tian stayed at the villa, I would be apprehensive even if I took a step forward, let alone build a good relationship with him.
She was afraid that Lin Tian would discover the system on her body and kill her as well.
Tangtang nodded.
"Tangtang is happy, waiting for Guoguo to come back."
"Good girl."
Zhang Shiyu kissed her forehead.
