System, You Didn't Say the Villain Can Read Minds! - Chapter 4
Chapter 4
◎Woof!◎
Mo Jiu had no memory of the time before she entered the world of Order Restart.
But she didn’t find this problematic.
The fact that the points in the Mall could be carried over to the next world but started accumulating from 0 in this world suggested that this was likely the first world she was experiencing.
Although it was strange that an NPC had developed consciousness, whether it was a bug or intentional by the Library, it didn’t affect her actions.
In any case, the tasks assigned by the System had to be completed.
As for what to do after completing the tasks… the System couldn’t control that!
System: “Stop doing unnecessary things.”
Mo Jiu: “What are you referring to?”
System: “Helping the antagonist Yun Wenzhou alleviate pain and accelerate recovery.”
Mo Jiu: “You don’t understand. She can only be bullied better once she recovers. We need sustainable development!”
System: “…”
System: “Issue task — Leverage. Take a photo that can be used to control Yun Wenzhou, including but not limited to nude photos, and save it on your phone so that Yun Wenzhou remembers to hate you and won’t hesitate when killing you.”
Mo Jiu: “Tsk.”
Early in the morning, can’t a person even wash up in peace?
However, this task has no time limit, so there’s no need to rush.
Mo Jiu slowly finished washing up and waited for Yun Wenzhou to get up and finish her own routine before storming into her room.
She still didn’t knock, but Yun Wenzhou was fully dressed today.
She was wearing a black dress with matching thigh-high stockings.
At her age, she didn’t look sexy in anything she wore; everything made her look pure, but the cool factor was maximized.
Mo Jiu was momentarily lost in thought, unsure what exactly about her struck her, but she definitely had the feeling of her eyes lighting up and being deeply drawn in.
Strange, no similar scene has appeared in my memory. I haven’t seen Yun Wenzhou dressed up like this.
It was summer vacation now, and neither she nor Yun Wenzhou went out much. They basically wore pajamas at home. Mo Jiu was wearing pajamas right now.
Why did Yun Wenzhou suddenly dress up so nicely? Planning to run away from home?
She asked immediately when she thought of it: “Where are you planning to go dressed like that?”
Mo Jiu’s tone was menacing, but her inner voice betrayed her: ‘It’s true that clothes make the man and makeup makes the woman. She looks so beautiful dressed up! This hair, this waist, these legs…’
Yun Wenzhou heard Mo Jiu’s inner voice and couldn’t help but curve her lips, smiling faintly: “Nowhere. I just suddenly wanted to, wear, this.”
Her voice still carried that unnatural, mechanical quality, with pauses in places where there shouldn’t be, giving a very stiff feeling. But it was already much better than before, seemingly because she was—less cautious.
“Strike a humiliating pose,” Mo Jiu said, picking up her phone to prepare for the photo.
At the same time, her inner voice: ‘How can I bear to take off her clothes? Destroying beautiful things will bring retribution!’
Yun Wenzhou tilted her head in confusion.
Take off her clothes? Take off what? Her clothes?
Does Sister want to strip her naked?
Sigh… I should have known not to wear such nice clothes.
Because she had taken a shower last night, her hair was very smooth, which enhanced her beauty. She almost fell in love with herself when she looked in the mirror, which was why she wanted to dress up.
She didn’t know how to put on makeup, nor did she need to. Although her biological parents’ character was awful, their looks were quite striking, giving her very prominent features.
Sister’s biological mother was also a great beauty, so Sister was also good-looking.
Yun Wenzhou regretted wearing clothes that Mo Jiu wouldn’t bear to take off—she didn’t mind being stripped naked by Mo Jiu, and she didn’t mind doing anything for her.
She viewed Mo Jiu as the only light in her life. She wanted to be illuminated by her and also wanted to shine back on her.
So when she heard Mo Jiu’s request, although she hesitated, her hesitation wasn’t about whether she should perform a humiliating pose, but about what kind of pose would count as humiliating?
She sat upright on the edge of the bed, placing her hands on her legs, slowly moving them toward her knees, eventually grasping the lace edge of the black skirt, and then, slowly lifting it up.
Although she had been seen almost entirely naked by Mo Jiu last night, actively doing something like this was still a bit embarrassing.
Yun Wenzhou turned her head to the side, her face slightly flushed.
Mo Jiu saw the color—pink.
She’s wearing pink underneath such a cool black dress…
Click. The photo was captured.
Mo Jiu: “Task judgment?”
System: “Task complete.”
Mo Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the task was easier than she thought, thanks to Yun Wenzhou’s cooperation… Wait a minute, why would Yun Wenzhou cooperate with her?
Mo Jiu belatedly realized something was off. She put down her phone and looked at Yun Wenzhou with a serious expression: “You do whatever I ask? So obedient? Are you a dog?”
‘Did I break this child? She shouldn’t be this compliant with everyone.’
Yun Wenzhou heard Mo Jiu’s inner voice. After putting down her skirt, she curved her lips again.
Sister is worried about me.
Sister is afraid that I will be bullied by truly bad people.
No, I won’t.
I can distinguish between someone who is harsh on the outside but kind on the inside and someone who truly wishes I didn’t exist in this world.
Thinking this, Yun Wenzhou responded word by word: “Yes, I am Sister’s dog, belonging exclusively to Sister.”
Mo Jiu: “…”
Mo Jiu: “I’m done for! Did I raise some kind of problem with this antagonist?”
System: “System judging… Judgment failed. There should be no problem. After all, the tasks were completed smoothly. Maybe she’s just acting for you.”
Mo Jiu: “But she doesn’t seem to care at all? If someone took a photo like that of me, I would definitely want to kill the person… Wait, I would never cooperate with someone to take a photo like that!”
System: “If you are truly worried, added task — Mark of Shame. Leave a mark on Yun Wenzhou that makes her feel humiliated and wish to kill you whenever she sees it.”
Mo Jiu: “…”
Why do I keep giving myself extra work!
Mo Jiu regretted her words while surveying Yun Wenzhou from head to toe, looking for a suitable place to leave a mark.
She finally stared at her bare neck for a while, lost in thought.
The color of the dress was very dark, and Yun Wenzhou’s skin was very fair, making her unadorned neck look bare. Mo Jiu felt an urge to put something on it.
After pondering for a while, and realizing that this task also had no time limit, she searched for “choker” on her phone, found a few styles she liked, and placed a large order.
A choker, a tight-fitting necklace, could both fulfill the task of leaving a mark on Yun Wenzhou and complete the missing touch in her outfit—two birds with one stone, perfect!
Mo Jiu happily ran off.
Yun Wenzhou looked at her retreating figure, feeling a bit confused and a little disappointed.
Confused because she couldn’t hear her sister’s inner voice and didn’t know why she was happy or why she left.
Disappointed because her sister left too suddenly and didn’t respond to her declaration of loyalty… Was her expression not clear enough?
Yun Wenzhou let out an “Ah” as if practicing a song, deciding to speak more often, even when alone in her room, to communicate with her sister more fluently.
Two days later, the chokers Mo Jiu ordered arrived one after another.
She unpacked them all first, tried them on herself in the mirror, and finally picked the most comfortable one before going to Yun Wenzhou’s room.
“As my dog, you must wear my collar!”
She stood by the bed, and Yun Wenzhou sat on the edge of the bed.
Mo Jiu looked down at her and said the words.
Her expression was arrogant, but her inner voice was excited.
‘This choker will definitely look good on her!’
Yun Wenzhou looked up to meet Mo Jiu’s gaze, remained silent with a poker face for a moment, and then…
“Woof!”
Mo Jiu: “?”
Mo Jiu: “What did I just hear? Did Yun Wenzhou just bark?”
System: “Yes, you heard correctly.”
Mo Jiu: “This… is this right… Whatever, it’s fine.”
Mo Jiu didn’t want to chat with the System and end up with a new task.
She forced herself not to overthink, approached Yun Wenzhou, bent down, and personally put the choker on her.
The black silk fabric was so light it felt weightless. The heart in the middle was platinum, exquisite and small. Wearing it on Yun Wenzhou’s neck, it looked subtly provocative yet high-class.
As Mo Jiu looked at it, she couldn’t help but raise her hand to cover her mouth and nose.
‘My goodness! It’s too perfect!’
Yun Wenzhou raised her right hand, gently touching the small heart in the middle of the collar with her fingertips, struggling not to scream out loud.
Sister gave me a gift!
This is the first gift Sister has ever given me!
I’m so happy!
Is it a return gift for those two toys?
—The husky and the calico cat she had brought to Mo Jiu’s room that day, although Mo Jiu verbally rejected them, were ultimately used as decoration in her room.
But a choker could be worn around the neck all the time. The meaning was different.
Yun Wenzhou didn’t know how to express her excitement at the moment, so she barked “Woof!” again!
Mo Jiu: “…”
This antagonist really seems to have been led astray by me.
Mo Jiu desperately wanted to sit down and lecture Yun Wenzhou—Be independent, be confident. A lickspittle gets nothing in the end!
But if she actually did that, she would be OOC.
So she could only pinch Yun Wenzhou’s chin, using the opportunity of humiliation to warn her: “Such a good dog. But don’t think barking will please me, alright? Remember this: whether a dog gets a bone is decided by the master. Even if you kneel on the ground and kiss my toes, whether I treat you gently still depends on my mood.”
‘Wake up! Constant compromise only leads to getting taken advantage of!’
Yun Wenzhou allowed Mo Jiu to pinch her chin, imagining the scene of kissing Mo Jiu’s toes. Subtly… somewhat excited.
Sister is worried about me again.
Sister is always like this, worrying about both my body and my mind.
As if I were a newborn infant with a fragile body and mind like spun glass.
I must let Sister know that I am actually not that fragile.
Thinking this, Yun Wenzhou spoke: “I know. Sister can treat me however she wants, but I want to be good to Sister. I want to be a good dog, and I will only be Sister’s dog. If anyone else wants me to be their dog, there is no way.”
This was the longest sentence she had ever spoken in one breath. Although it was a bit halting, every word was clearly articulated.
Goosebumps rose all over Mo Jiu’s body because she realized that Yun Wenzhou seemed to be serious.
Why?
Is it because the degree to which I bully Yun Wenzhou is so well-controlled that it makes her cruel, non-human parents look like saints in comparison?
But asking her to be harsher… she truly couldn’t bring herself to do it.
Mo Jiu: “Erm… System, there’s a question I’m wondering whether to ask.”
System: “What question?”
Mo Jiu: “If I complete all the tasks, but Yun Wenzhou chooses to spare me after awakening her superpower, what will happen to me?”
System: “I don’t know.”
The System can only assign tasks that NPCs can perform, including but not limited to stimulating the target through words and actions. How the target reacts after being stimulated is entirely up to the target themselves.
Normally, if all the tasks are truly completed, such an accident would not occur.
But recently, Yun Wenzhou’s reactions have indeed been intriguing.
System: “I think I’ll assign you more tasks.”
Mo Jiu: “…”
Dead mouth, I told you not to talk too much!
