Chapter 29: Diablo 26

Tang Yitong looked at her silently before shaking his head.

Like a little cabbage abandoned in the cold, he said carefully:

“No need. Once I gain some weight, the uniform won’t look too big anymore.”

The moment he said that, Tang Wan instantly felt even more guilty.

“It’s fine! They’re only two school uniforms anyway. They don’t cost much. The food’s here now, hurry up and eat.”

Just listen to what he was saying—how pitiful!

“Okay.”

At the dining table, Tang Wan—who usually only let others serve her food—actually took the initiative to place food into Tang Yitong’s bowl.

“Eat more!”

“Okay,” Tang Yitong replied quietly as he lowered his head and continued eating silently.

Tang Wan was afraid he would overeat like he did the last time with the dumplings.

So halfway through the meal, she asked:

“How’s your stomach feeling? If you feel uncomfortable, stop eating. I’ll buy you some snacks later. If you get hungry, you can use them to fill your stomach a little.”

Right now, Tang Yitong’s stomach needed small, frequent meals.

“Mm. I’ll listen to you,” Tang Yitong replied expressionlessly while eating.

But inside his heart, fireworks were exploding wildly.

The feeling of being cared for by her...

It felt so good.

“Ding! Tang Yitong’s favorability +4. Current favorability: 80.”

Little Cutie immediately reported the updated favorability before excitedly adding:

“Host, your sugar-coated attacks are working! Even a black-hearted villain can’t resist your affection!”

Little Cutie was practically screaming with excitement.

This was his very first time binding to a host for missions.

He had heard countless stories from other systems about terrifyingly capable hosts—even hosts who dismantled systems and invaded the main system itself.

But he never expected his own host to be this powerful too!

He could already picture himself covered in little red flowers of honor, envied by every other system around him.

This year’s Best System award would definitely belong to him!

Tang Wan: “...”

...

After lunch, Tang Wan bought Tang Yitong several pastries before taking him to the logistics department to buy two properly fitting school uniforms.

Once everything was done, she said to him:

“Alright, you can head back to class and rest now.”

“Okay,” Tang Yitong nodded.

Only after watching Tang Wan leave did a secret smile quietly rise at the corner of his lips.

“Ding! Tang Yitong’s favorability +2. Current favorability: 82.”

Tang Wan: “...”

She had only bought him two school uniforms and eaten lunch together with him.

Yet his favorability kept increasing nonstop?

Seriously...

This love-starved child really needed more affection.

Maybe this weekend she should take him shopping for some new clothes too.

Aside from school uniforms, this poor kid seemed to own nothing but old private clothes.

...

The moment Tang Yitong returned to the classroom, several boys immediately blocked his path.

“I heard Tang Wan held your hand today? Damn, not bad!”

“What’s this? Did Tang Wan even buy things for you now?”

As he spoke, one of the boys reached out to snatch the pastries and uniform bag from Tang Yitong’s hands.

Seeing this, Tang Yitong slowly lifted his previously lowered eyes and coldly swept his gaze across them.

“Move.”

He stared directly at them.

The few boys instantly froze under his gloomy and hostile gaze.

For a moment, they even had the strange feeling that provoking Tang Yitong would lead to a terrible ending.

But after thinking about it again, Tang Yitong was just an illegitimate child whom even the Tang family barely acknowledged.

Otherwise, how could Tang Wan bully him for so many years without anyone caring?

Their courage immediately returned.

“Hah! A bastard like you dares glare at us? Looking for death?”

After speaking, one of them swung his fist toward Tang Yitong’s face.

But Tang Yitong suddenly pulled out a folding knife from his pocket and pointed the blade directly at the boy.

“Either way, my life doesn’t matter. But if you provoke me, don’t blame me if I drag you down with me.”

Seeing the dark, ruthless expression on Tang Yitong’s face, the boys instantly panicked and hurriedly stepped back.

“Tang Yitong, don’t mess around! Murder is illegal!”
