System, You Didn't Say the Villain Can Read Minds! - Chapter 6

Chapter 6

◎An electric-shock-like shiver.◎

Mo Jiu cursed the man internally, calling him a beast, wishing him a terrible death, and deserving of a physical castration!

Yet, she still verbally defended her nominal father: “What are you talking about? Who wants to look at your chest! Stop being so self-absorbed!”

‘Although it does look quite good…’

“Stop bothering me late at night, go to sleep!”

Mo Jiu shoved Yun Wenzhou out of the room as she spoke and shut the door, afraid that even a slight delay would result in the system forcing a task on her.

Though there were rewards after completing a certain number of tasks, she would rather not have rewards based on someone else’s suffering.

Please don’t assign me a role like this in the next world.—Mo Jiu had had enough of the pangs of conscience.

The system’s response was: It depends on luck.

The next day, Mo Jiu finished breakfast and sat on the sofa in the living room playing with her phone. Catching sight of Yun Wenzhou coming out to pour water, she paid special attention to the man’s reaction. Indeed, she found him stealing glances at Yun Wenzhou, his eyes blatantly fixed on Yun Wenzhou’s chest.

D*mn him!

Mo Jiu sprang up from the sofa almost immediately!

Her character was set as spoiled, arrogant, and self-important, so she could do whatever she wanted without any hesitation.

She rose from the sofa and strode over to the man, slamming her palm on the dining table in front of him with a loud thwack that startled the man!

“Where are you looking?” Mo Jiu questioned coldly.

The man, feeling guilty, quickly denied: “Wha-what looking where? Where did I look?”

His reaction was as good as a confession, so Mo Jiu didn’t press him to admit it, threatening directly: “Look again and I’ll tell my mom! If the two of you divorce, I’m definitely going with her!”

“Shut up!” The man became enraged and raised a hand as if to strike her.

Mo Jiu didn’t shrink back. Instead, she lifted her head to meet his palm: “Want to hit me? Hit me! Let me see you try!”

‘You’d better actually hit me, that way I can retaliate without restraint!’

Mo Jiu had long disliked this man.

Some people might be terrible in relationships but successful in business. Others might not be great career-wise but have good character and are kind to others—they are not completely useless.

But this man?

Cheated in marriage—a scumbag emotionally.

Doesn’t go out to work and doesn’t do housework—a complete waste.

And he’s abusive—rotten from the inside out!

Mo Jiu didn’t know what he looked like when he was young, but now, he had neither looks nor physique. She completely failed to understand how her mother had fallen for him in the first place.

However, her nominal mother wasn’t a good person either, knowingly being a mistress and never treating Yun Wenzhou like a person. If Mo Jiu hadn’t viewed Yun Wenzhou as her exclusive toy and forbidden her mother from touching her, Yun Wenzhou would probably be beaten by both husband and wife.

In short, if Mo Jiu had a chance to hit this couple, she would definitely not feel the psychological burden she felt when hitting Yun Wenzhou. She would only worry about not hitting hard enough.

Yet, the man ultimately didn’t give her the chance. He slowly lowered his raised hand and tried to take hers in a placating manner, which she dodged.

“Hey, Dad was wrong. Dad won’t look around anymore, okay? Don’t tell your mom.”

Mo Jiu responded with a disappointed “Hmph” and sat back down on the sofa.

What a pity. I thought I could grab the broom and beat the man senseless.

But thinking that his death was imminent, Mo Jiu was relieved.

Revenge will come, just wait for the right time!

Mo Jiu crossed her legs, intending to continue playing on her phone, when the corner of her eye caught Yun Wenzhou approaching her.

She instinctively looked up. Before she could react, Yun Wenzhou suddenly bent down and leaned close to her, her lips almost touching her ear: “Thank you, Sister.”

The gentle, comforting voice vibrated against Mo Jiu’s eardrum, like a soft, fluffy piece of cotton candy, carrying a subtle itch that sweetened its way into Mo Jiu’s heart.

Mo Jiu felt a tingling electric current surge through her body. Her mind went blank, and she had no idea how to respond.

Until the system spoke in her mind: Mission triggered—Unappreciative. Please reject Yun Wenzhou’s thanks within 10 seconds.

10 seconds!

Mo Jiu snapped back to reality and pushed Yun Wenzhou away: “Why are you suddenly getting so close! Stay away from me! I wasn’t doing it for you, but for my mom!”

‘She scared me… Her voice is too nice, isn’t it?’

Yun Wenzhou was pushed back two steps before she managed to stand steady. She wasn’t angry at Mo Jiu at all; instead, she was ecstatic.

Sister thinks my voice is nice.

Sister’s reaction when she’s startled is so cute.

Sister is still my sister. No matter what she says or does to me on the surface, she cares about me deep down.

I love Sister.

I want to talk to Sister more. Anything is fine, even if she scolds me.

Thinking this, Yun Wenzhou daringly asked: “Is Sister saying one thing but meaning another?”

Mo Jiu: “…”

System: Warning! OOC Warning! Emergency Mission issued—Heart of Ice. Immediately deny Yun Wenzhou’s guess. Do not give her the illusion that anyone cares about her!

“Ha, you’re being too self-absorbed!” Mo Jiu suddenly shot up from the sofa, grabbed the back of Yun Wenzhou’s neck, and shoved her toward the bedroom.

She denied her feelings all the way: “No one cares what you think! It’s none of my business even if someone assaulted you!”

‘D*mn it, why do I have to say such insincere things?’

‘The beauty I worked so hard to raise, I’d castrate anyone who dared to bully her!’

Yun Wenzhou obediently allowed Mo Jiu to push her back into her room. Upon reaching the bed, she smoothly fell onto it, hooking her legs up.

When she was little, she might have been confused by Mo Jiu’s inconsistency, but now, she was not only used to it but even found some enjoyment in it.

If Mo Jiu said the opposite of what she thought every time she scolded her, Yun Wenzhou wished she would scold her 24 hours a day, 1,440 minutes, 86,400 seconds—every single second.

Mo Jiu secretly sighed in relief when she received the “Mission Complete” prompt and released the back of Yun Wenzhou’s neck.

Yun Wenzhou flipped over on the bed, lying flat to look at her, her hands resting relaxed by her ears, looking like she had surrendered, but her words were unyielding: “Sister always says that, but you never have the heart to hit me hard, do you?”

System: OOC Warning! Emergency Mission issued—No Tender Love for Beauty. Hit her hard right now!

Mo Jiu was defeated.

She desperately wanted to shut Yun Wenzhou up immediately, so she lunged onto Yun Wenzhou without thinking, restraining her wrists with her hands and wedging one leg between Yun Wenzhou’s.

After doing this, she looked at Yun Wenzhou’s lips, so close to her own, and was momentarily stunned.

‘What am I doing? Am I about to force a kiss on her?’

Of course, she couldn’t do that.

So, she lowered her head toward Yun Wenzhou’s neck and bit her fiercely on the side of her neck, as if she were a hungry vampire and Yun Wenzhou her prey.

Yun Wenzhou cooperated by arching her neck and let out an “Ah.”

She did feel the pain Mo Jiu inflicted, but this terrible posture felt more like a flirtatious game than punishment.

Not to mention, Mo Jiu’s internal thoughts mentioned a kiss.

Yun Wenzhou wanted Mo Jiu to do more to her. She raised both hands and hooked them around Mo Jiu’s neck, gently stroking her nape.

Mo Jiu shivered from the touch, a feeling of unease sweeping through her body.

Something’s wrong.

Very wrong.

It felt as if everything had spiraled out of control in just a few seconds.

Every word and action of Yun Wenzhou’s was unexpected, leaving Mo Jiu completely unsure how to handle her.

There were only a few days left until she fully completed the mission and left this world, and yet, at this crucial moment…

Just as she was thinking this, a dazzling golden light shone through the window.

Mo Jiu instinctively looked up. Before she could see what was happening outside, she heard a loud boom— followed by a violent tremor that shook the ground!

Mo Jiu’s body swayed and lost balance, causing her to fall completely onto Yun Wenzhou. Their chests and stomachs pressed together, and another electric-shock-like shiver ran through her.

She had never been this close to anyone before. It felt strange and so embarrassing that she wanted to flee immediately.

However, neither the shaking bed nor Yun Wenzhou’s embrace allowed her to do so.

Yun Wenzhou held her tightly, as if retaliating against her, and also as if protecting her.

The alarm clock on the nightstand bounced up from the shaking. Seeing it about to hit Mo Jiu’s head, Yun Wenzhou rushed to reach out and stop it, only to watch it hover less than three centimeters from her palm.

What… what is going on?

Am I dreaming?

Yun Wenzhou stared in astonishment at the alarm clock that clearly violated physics, distinctly feeling her control over it.

She tried to expand this mysterious control, making all objects in the room that might collide with hard surfaces and make noise float in mid-air.

The room continued to shake, but the noise was much quieter. Mo Jiu vaguely realized something. She looked up and saw the entire room filled with floating objects.

‘Holy cow! How spectacular!’

Is this Yun Wenzhou’s power?

After staring blankly for a moment, Mo Jiu realized she was still lying on top of Yun Wenzhou. She quickly struggled to get up while asking the system internally.

Mo Jiu: Has the meteor strike been moved up?

System: Rather, humans miscalculated its descent speed.

Mo Jiu: Can I clock out now?

System: Yes. Your final mission is—Self-Destruction. Enrage the villain, Yun Wenzhou, and make her kill you to complete her full blackening.

Mo Jiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally.

The day has finally arrived.

She finally no longer had to rack her brain trying to find loopholes to complete the tasks of bullying Yun Wenzhou.

She had wished for this day to come sooner every day, but now that it was truly here, she felt a genuine sense of reluctance.

Goodbye, Yun Wenzhou.

Mo Jiu said in her heart, opening her mouth to say something to provoke Yun Wenzhou, but…

What kind of words could enrage Yun Wenzhou?

Over the seven years, she had said countless terrible things to Yun Wenzhou, yet none seemed to provoke an emotional response from her.

Yun Wenzhou always seemed emotionless, mostly expressionless, and occasionally offered a shallow smile that made it impossible to discern what she was truly thinking deep down.

However, times had changed. The current Yun Wenzhou no longer needed to endure. Her reaction should be different now, right?

Thinking this, Mo Jiu opened her mouth: “Who allowed you to hug me? Don’t forget, you are just my toy! My dog!”

As she spoke, she had just gotten off the bed and stood steady. As soon as her words finished, another flash of fire descended from the sky, accompanied by a loud boom— The ground shook. Mo Jiu lost her balance and staggered back two steps, about to fall.

Yun Wenzhou scrambled off the bed with the fastest speed, reached her in a few strides, wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her into an embrace. Then, under Mo Jiu’s startled gaze, she leaned close to her ear and smiled: “Woof.”
