Xiao Ke scratched his head: "The graduation ceremony seven years ago, wasn't that...?"
As if it had thought of something, its expression changed, and it glanced in the direction of the blue system outside without saying a word.
Xu Wuning didn't notice any of this; she was staring at the scene in mid-air when Lu Jingci led her into the bathroom to give her a bath.
Instantly, her face turned bright red, and her finger trembled as she pointed at the person on the screen:
"Damn it, Lu Jingci deserves to die! He keeps messing with me, taking my clothes off and changing them, then taking them off again, and then giving me a shower. Is he playing a game like Nikki?"
"I'm already dead, but he's still keeping an eye on me. When did he start watching me? The photos of the locked room have been there since elementary school, but we clearly met in middle school."
"We've never seen this before when we were kids..."
"Something from when you were a child?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Ke shuddered and dropped the task panel in his hand to the ground.
Its guilty gaze darted away, its fingers fidgeting with the hem of its clothes, and it stammered as it interrupted her, "Um... you two might have met when you were little."
"You've forgotten a lot about things that happened before you were seven years old."
Xu Wuning narrowed her eyes and suddenly looked at it: "What do you mean?"
Xiao Ke picked up the task panel from the ground, his hands trembling with panic.
"Back then, when you were 7 years old and in the second grade of elementary school, you had memories of your past life. It was like a 19-year-old trapped in the body of a 7-year-old. You felt very inconvenient and out of place. You couldn't play with other children and thought they were too childish."
"So, you just tell me to let me temporarily seal away your memories of your past life."
"Then, when I was sealing your memories, it was my first time doing a mission and I wasn't very familiar with it, so I accidentally sealed some of your memories from before you were 7 years old as well, and sealed them all along with it."
"Later, when you were thirteen and about to enter junior high school, I unlocked your past life memories again, but I forgot to unlock your memories before you were seven years old."
"I'm not very bright, and I had completely forgotten about it, but you just mentioned it, and I suddenly remembered it..."
Xu Wuning glared at it: "What did you say?!"
Xiao Ke sensed something was wrong and ran away. Xu Wuning chased after him, shouting, "You stop right there! I'll beat you to death! How did I end up with such a wretched child like you? You're always causing trouble. I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your father!"
"I think you're just a spoiled brat who came out to experience life, used me as a guinea pig, messed up my life, and then washed your hands of it, right?"
"Xiao Ke, I'm going to beat you to death today!"
Xiao Ke covered his head and ran away as fast as he could, yelling, "I'm already all bruised and battered! Stop hitting me! Ah!"
The task panel fell to the ground, reflecting images of Xu Wuning from her childhood—
At the kindergarten.
The teacher stood on the platform with tissues, teaching the children how to wipe their bottoms. She said gently, "Children, let's squat down, take out the tissues, and wipe our bottoms. Wipe the left side, then the right."
"Come on, one, two, three, wipe your butt..."
The children below obediently followed the teacher's movements and sang nursery rhymes:
"Wipe your butt, a clean butt, one, two, three, wipe your butt..."
Xu Wuning sat there, her hair in a cute bun, wearing a strawberry hair clip, her round face and big, watery eyes making her look extremely adorable.
However, her movements were very mature. She pressed her temples, looked at the group of children wiping their bottoms, and felt her head buzzing.
The teacher noticed her and asked softly, "Xu Wuning, why aren't you wiping your bottom with everyone else? Have you learned how to do it yet?"
"Little Su Wanyue and Little Xie Yu are both wiping, why aren't you moving?"
Xu Wuning looked around and nodded blankly: "Yes, teacher, I have learned it."
The teacher smiled kindly: "Xu Wuning is such a clever child! Come up here and show us your skills! Let's give Xu Wuning a round of applause!"
"Everyone will take turns demonstrating, and we'll make sure every child learns it. How about we start with Xu Wuning?"
The whole class erupted in thunderous applause.
The children all shouted, "Okay, Xu Wuning, welcome little Xu Wuning!"
Xu Wuning was going crazy inside: "System, I'm going insane! Quickly seal my memories of my past life and release them when I'm in middle school. My soul and this body are completely incompatible right now. They're too childish, really."
"System, hurry up, I can't go on living! I'm only about 20 years old, and I have to go on stage and sing while wiping my butt? I really can't take it anymore, System."
"Ugh, this is so agonizing!"
However, the system has yet to be launched.
Finally, when she turned seven, the system went live, and Xu Wuning could no longer hold on.
She was squatting in the corner, watching the other children play on the slide and play house, becoming increasingly withdrawn.
"System, you damned Xiao Ke, immediately seal away my past life memories, right now!"
The task panel's memory screen ends here, and the screen automatically locks.
……
Inside the system station room.
Five minutes later.
Xiao Ke's face was even more swollen from the beating; he had been severely punished.
As it howled, it reopened the panel, unlocking all of Xu Wuning's memories from before she was seven years old.
Xu Wuning sat there with her eyes closed, trying hard to recall if she had ever met Lu Jingci when they were children.
One year old, no.
Two years old, no.
Three years old, still no.
Memories flashed back quickly, finally arriving at the kidnapping that happened when I was six years old.
In the dilapidated house, Xu Wuning was being held captive by kidnappers. She kept calling out to the system for help, but she could not get in touch with Xiao Ke.
The door was pushed open.
The kidnappers came in and threw in a little boy.
The little boy was unconscious. He was very handsome, but his clothes were tattered and dirty. He looked very thin, as if he hadn't had a proper meal in a long time.
All I could hear was the filthy laughter of the kidnappers:
"Brother Huang, let's keep him here for now. Come on, let's go eat. You can bring him out tonight for some fun."
"This little mute may be skinny, but he's got a really good-looking face. Brother Huang will have some fun tonight!"
"His own parents don't want him anymore. He's just an orphan, a worthless wretch. It's a blessing for him to die in our hands."
Perhaps it was the word "orphan" that reminded Xu Wuning of her tragic past life, where she died alone in a kidnapper's den, with no one caring for her or saving her.
Or perhaps it's because the little mute boy's fate tonight will be very pitiful. He's such a young child, only six years old, yet he's going to die tragically at the hands of these kidnappers.
For the first time in her life, Xu Wuning felt compassion.
She has always been arrogant and domineering, and rarely does good deeds; this is one of the few times she has shown kindness.
So, after the kidnappers left, she woke the little boy up and ran away with him.
Along the way, she didn't know how to comfort him, and couldn't think of any words.
He seemed to be unloved by his parents, even the clothes he wore were outdated, and he couldn't speak, living a very miserable life.
She could only tell him one universal phrase:
"Good people are rewarded. If you are a good person, you will become better and better, and many people will like you."
later.
When the kidnappers caught up with her, she knew she couldn't escape, but she still decided to save him.
Because she has the system, and also her father.
But he had no one behind him, nothing at all. If he were caught and taken back, he would surely be tortured to death tonight.
So she pretended to be bitten by a snake, diverting the kidnappers' attention and successfully rescuing him.
This was the first time in her two lives that she had saved someone.
It turns out that being a good person feels pretty good.
When she was taken back to the house by the kidnappers and locked up, this time she finally managed to contact Xiao Ke, who had been offline for a long time.
Perhaps because she died in a kidnapper's den in her previous life, Xu Wuning hates kidnappers terribly in this life, especially human traffickers who abduct children and cause countless families to be torn apart and die.
So, she asked Xiao Ke for a knife, a rope, and a time bomb produced by the system.
She cut the rope around her wrists with a knife, used the long rope to climb out of the window, and ran onto a sunlit path in the woods.
And behind him.
Soon.
With a loud "bang," the earth seemed to tremble.
The entire kidnappers' hideout, including the house and the people, was completely wiped out.
Xiao Ke trembled.
But Xu Wu Ning, with her adorable little face, exclaimed, "Listen to this, what beautiful music..."
-
Then, at the police station.
Xu Wuning was only six years old. She had big, watery eyes and two pink buns in her hair. She huddled behind Xu Zhenghong in fear.
She cried, tears streaming down her face: "I don't know... I was so scared, Daddy, police officers... They started arguing, so I ran away."
"After I ran out, I heard something very loud in the woods, so I hid in fright. Thank you for finding me in the bushes..."
"Dad, what happened to those kidnappers... Why are they fighting? I'm really scared. Why was there such a loud noise?"
"I heard them saying things like, 'What, how do we divide a billion? Dad, how much is a billion?' Then one of the kidnappers got beaten up, and then they started fighting..."
The policeman patted her head kindly: "It's okay, don't be afraid."
Xu Zhenghong was heartbroken. "Ningning, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay, the kidnappers have stopped fighting."
After taking the statement, the police respectfully said, "Chairman Xu, the kidnappers probably had a dispute over the loot, and some of them were dissatisfied. This led to infighting among the kidnappers, and we don't know who it was, but they lit the explosives."
"Anyway, it's good that Miss Xu is alright. She was so close, but luckily she escaped. A narrow escape from death is sure to bring good fortune."
"A six-year-old child has been frightened; it would be terrible if she were left with psychological trauma. You should take her home and comfort her properly."
Xu Wuning was crying her heart out, tears streaming down her face; she was clearly terrified.
Xu Zhenghong picked her up and comforted her for a long time before she stopped crying.
……
Memories fade.
In the system station, Xu Wuning opened her eyes.
Over the years, she hadn't done anything good except for one good deed, which led to her meeting Lu Jingci.
She saved Lu Jingci.
Then, this guy stalked her year after year, repaying kindness with enmity, and even imprisoned her.
Xu Wuning sighed.
Sure enough, in the world of novels, you shouldn't just help any man you see on the street, even if he's a little boy.
Beside him, Xiao Ke covered his punched face, wincing and crying out, "Ouch!"
Xu Wu's eyes flickered, and she looked at it with a deep gaze:
"Since you've sealed away some of my childhood memories, I'm thinking..."
"What about the memories of the day before graduation seven years ago? Did you seal them away too?"
"Or, who's behind this?"
Instantly, Xiao Ke felt a chill on its neck, shrank its neck, and swallowed hard...
