Xu Wuning narrowed her eyes and approached it step by step.

"...It wasn't me," Xiao Ke shook her head, her hands trembling, and she subconsciously stepped back. "It really wasn't me this time."

The air fell silent for a moment.

Xu Wuning suddenly laughed, but that laugh sent chills down Xiao Ke's spine.

"So guilty?" She tilted her head, her tone even somewhat gentle. "You seem to know exactly what I'm talking about?"

Xiao Ke was so nervous that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Xu Wuning took another step forward, looking down at it condescendingly, "What do you know? Tell me honestly right now."

Xiao Ke's back was already pressed against the wall, with nowhere left to retreat.

Just as Xu Wuning's fist was about to strike, it shuddered and closed its eyes, trembling.

"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I'll talk! I'll talk! I'll talk!"

It speaks incredibly fast, as if afraid that if it hesitates even for a single word, its fist will come down.

Xu Wuning's fist stopped in mid-air, hovering above its head. She maintained her deathly smile, waiting for it to speak.

Xiao Ke swallowed hard, secretly opened one eye to peek, then quickly closed it again.

"I think it must have been something the Blue System did. I was on vacation at the time, a long vacation, only a few years in the small world. I asked him to look after things for me during those years, but I don't know if he did anything?"

"The Blue System has always disrespected mission takers; it must have been him."

"Yes, yes, it must be him!"

It gritted its teeth and decided to intensify the battle; it couldn't take the beating alone, or its face would be disfigured.

"Wait for me, I'll bring the Blue System over right now. Or do you want to hit him? Don't hit me."

As soon as it finished speaking, it darted away with lightning speed, leaving only an afterimage and the sound of a door slamming shut.

Xu Wuning looked down at her fist, which was suspended in mid-air, and slowly withdrew it.

One minute later.

A series of hurried footsteps came from the hallway outside the door, along with the sound of dragging shoes scraping the ground.

"Young master, slow down! Young master, my parts are falling apart!"

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!"

The door was suddenly pushed open, and Xiao Ke dragged the Blue System all the way to Xu Wu Ning.

"Host, it's him! Ask him, hit him, I'm leaving now..."

Xu Wuning gave a forced smile: "Stop right there. You stay too. Nobody is allowed to leave."

Xiao Ke stood frozen in place.

The blue system finally managed to stand up, raised its head, and then saw Xiao Ke's appearance clearly. The entire system was stunned.

Xiao Ke was in a terrible state, his face was covered in bruises, swollen like a steamed bun, and his hair was so messy it looked like it had been kneaded eight hundred times.

The Blue System exclaimed in surprise, "Young Master! What happened to your face? How did you get beaten up like this?"

"Who did it? Who? Young master, tell me, I'll go right now..."

Xiao Ke frantically winked at him, her face contorted as if she were about to have a seizure, "Shut up."

The blue system looked at him blankly: "Young Master, what happened to your eyes? Did you get sand in them? Do you want me to blow it out for you?"

Xiao Ke closed his eyes in despair.

Very well, I'm already stupid enough, but the Blue System is even stupider than me.

Xu Wuning sneered and glared at the Blue System: "The injuries on your young master's face were inflicted by me."

"Tell me, seven years ago, the day before graduation, Xiao Ke wasn't there, and you were staring at the small world. What happened that day?"

The blue system glanced at the injury on Xiao Ke's face, then at Xu Wu Ning's chilling gaze. Its legs trembled slightly, and it took two steps back.

How terrifying humans are.

He was hesitant to speak.

Xu Wuning was losing her patience. "Are you going to talk or not?!"

Xiao Ke added, "Hurry up and tell us."

Perhaps it was because their gazes were too terrifying, but the Blue System wiped its sweat and shrank back several times.

I just felt that if it didn't speak up, it would be doomed.

Its voice trembled as it spoke, stammering as it told the truth: "Seven years ago, Young Master Ke... the young master wasn't here, so I was keeping an eye on the small world for him."

"Back then, under the tree at school, a boy confessed his feelings to you. However, you are the villainous female supporting character, and according to the system's requirements, you can't just date casually."

"Besides, at that time, I hadn't yet figured out who the male protagonist and the villain of the small world were. If you were in a relationship at that time, I was afraid it would affect the plot."

"I noticed you were hesitating, and it seemed like you couldn't bear to reject him directly, so I opened the task panel and rejected him for you..."

Xu Wuning's pupils constricted sharply: "What did you say?! A confession?"

Xiao Ke stared in shock, her eyes wide: "What do you mean you refused on someone else's behalf? Blue System, how can you manipulate the minds of mission takers so easily?"

The blue system patted its head: "Young master, this is your first time doing a mission. You don't know, but systems are always like this."

"Furthermore, if the host does not follow the plot and is very rebellious, and if the system is ruthless, there is a possibility that the host may be directly eliminated on the spot."

"I only helped Miss Xu to maintain the stability of the small world... Miss Xu initially refused, but on the mission panel, I selected the image of a 'ruthless female supporting character' for her, temporarily controlling her..."

This time, before Xu Wuning could even make a move, Xiao Ke punched the Blue System in the face.

"Elimination? Aren't human lives lives too? Manipulation? Aren't human emotions emotions too?"

"Humans are merely bound to a mission, not sold themselves to you, okay?"

"You systems are absolutely outrageous! My dad isn't home often, so you just do whatever you want?"

After several more punches, the Blue System cried out in pain, "Young Master, that's how they all do it, it's not like I did it myself."

Xiao Ke gritted her teeth in anger: "You guys actually have a blindly following-the-trend mentality?"

"When my dad comes back, I'm going to tell him about this and make some regulations to properly regulate the behavior of the system website."

"You guys have really gone too far!"

Xiao Ke and the Blue System engaged in a back-and-forth battle, resulting in another chaotic scene.

Xu Wuning felt a buzzing in her temples. She pressed her head and snapped, "Enough!"

"Alright, stop arguing. Let me see what happened that day. Did Lu Jingci confess his feelings?"

"Besides refusing, what did I say that made him hold a grudge for so many years?"

The blue system's eyes also turned blue and purple; it trembled as it opened the task panel, the image inside reflected in mid-air—

That day.

The classroom was noisy.

Tomorrow is graduation ceremony, and the whole class is almost going crazy with excitement.

Some people were shouting and discussing where to spend the night, while others were stacking up their textbooks and using them as volleyballs, with pages flying everywhere.

Su Wanyue and Xie Yu were fighting over a box of chocolates. They pushed and shoved each other, and Su Wanyue stepped on Xie Yu's foot, causing Xie Yu to scream.

The chocolate box flew out, and the chocolates inside fell out and rolled into the corner.

"Xie Yu, you owe me!"

"It was clearly your own fault for not catching it..."

Xu Wuning sat in the last row by the window, completely absorbed and out of place with the surrounding noise.

She was dressed neatly in her school uniform, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, revealing a section of her fair nape.

At this moment, she is looking down at the answers to the various subjects of the college entrance examination.

After checking the English, she checked the math, and as she expected, there were no mistakes.

She breathed a sigh of relief; thank goodness.

She picked up the physics answers again. As long as she didn't make a mistake in physics, she was sure she could surpass Lu Jingci and become the top student in the grade this time.

"Xu Wuning!"

A shout suddenly came from the doorway.

Xu Wuning paused, her pen still in her hand, and looked up. "What's wrong?"

A boy poked half his body out of the room, panting heavily as he ran:

"The class monitor asked me to come and get you. He said he's waiting for you under the big tree by the lake at school; he probably has something to tell you..."
