Chapter 568：The Lonely Top Student 31

Hearing Little Cutie’s words, Tang Wan pressed her lips together.

“Do you have any sense of boundaries?” she asked. “Why do you keep mentioning Ergouzi all the time? Are there no other systems?”

Then a thought struck her.

If Little Cutie could communicate with other systems… did that mean it could also contact Ergouzi’s host?

Tang Wan slapped her forehead.

Why didn’t I think of this earlier?

…

Little Cutie blinked innocently. “No! We’re good brothers from the same batch!”

Tang Wan: “I don’t believe you.”

“Since you’re such good brothers, can’t you contact his host through him?” she pressed. “Isn’t that host very powerful? Maybe she could tell me what’s going on with Tongtong.”

Little Cutie immediately shook its head. “No, host. Systems can communicate with each other, but hosts are not allowed to communicate through systems.”

Of course, that rule didn’t really apply to Ergouzi’s host…

But even so, Little Cutie didn’t dare risk breaking regulations. If the main system found out, it would erase him instantly—and not even Tang Wan’s points could save him.

…

Tang Wan sighed in disappointment.

“Fine…”

Then she asked again, “But if you can sense other systems, does that mean there weren’t any in our previous world?”

“Generally, only one host is assigned per mission world,” Little Cutie explained. “That prevents interaction between hosts.”

“I see…” Tang Wan muttered, still a bit regretful.

If she could, she really wanted to meet Ergouzi’s host.

Anyone who could defy the main system might know something about Tongtong.

…

Just then, a knock came from outside.

“Wanwan, are you okay?”

Tang Wan snapped out of her thoughts. “I’m fine!”

The door opened, and Jiao Tong stepped in.

He froze instantly.

Tang Wan was sitting on the floor in a duck-sitting position on her quilt—soft, relaxed, and unbelievably cute.

Jiao Tong: …

Why is my girlfriend this cute?

Seeing him staring blankly, Tang Wan blinked at him slightly.

For a moment, the two just sat there, looking at each other.

…

Then suddenly, a voice came from outside—

“Wanwan, Mom and Dad are back!”

Jiao Tong: !!!

His mind went blank.

What do I do now?

If her parents see me here… will they chase me out with a broom?

He turned stiffly to look at Tang Wan.

Seeing his panicked expression, Tang Wan immediately said, “Calm down! We’ll just walk out normally.”

“Walk out normally?” Jiao Tong shot back. “Your dad might kill me on the spot!”

Tang Wan couldn’t help laughing.

“Relax, it’ll be fine. Just watch.”

She quickly shook out the quilt on the floor, then walked to her desk and spread out her textbooks.

Lowering her voice, she said, “In a moment, just say you came over to tutor me.”

Chapter 1: Got Dumped on the Day of the Wedding

 Translator's Note Before we begin—I'll just take a moment of your time! 🌸 I know this is a bit of a wall of text to encounter before the actual novel, so I'll keep it simple: please take a moment to read this first so you know what to expect from this translation. After this chapter, you can happily skip these notes unless there's something new I need to mention. I promise I won't make you read this before every chapter. 😂 I'm sharing this translation simply because I translated this novel for myself, enjoyed it, and thought that perhaps other readers with similar tastes might enjoy it too. I'm a huge fan of quick-transmigration (快穿) novels, especially the kind where the protagonist is already extremely capable—or becomes overpowered very quickly—and gets to go through different worlds, counterattack, face-slap, and generally make life difficult for people who deserve it. I usually don't gravitate toward QT novels that focus heavily on favorabi...

Chapter 2: Does It Matter If I Am Gay?

When the male makeup artist heard Tang Wan’s words, he was immediately stunned. The others around him looked at him with envy, wishing Tang Wan would casually point at them instead. That was five billion! After a while, the male makeup artist finally reacted. His face flushed red as he asked, “Is it okay if I’m gay?” “It doesn’t matter if you’re gay or anything else. As long as you hold a wedding with me, the five billion will be yours!” Tang Wan said. “I agree!” he replied excitedly, nodding desperately. Tang Wan snapped her fingers when she heard this. “Okay! You guys, hurry up and change his clothes and fix his styling!” Hah! Did they really think she absolutely had to marry Sun Wu? Three-legged toads were hard to find, but there were plenty of two-legged men in the world! ... Hearing Tang Wan’s words, the others immediately got busy, pressing the temporary groom into a chair while applying makeup and changing him into a suit. Half an hour later, Tang Wan wor...

Chapter 3: I Am Your Father

“Even if what you say is true, what exactly are you?” “I’m not a thing! I’m a system! Haven’t you ever read system novels before?” the child said loudly. Tang Wan finally couldn’t hold back her laughter. “Your name really is Daddy? Can’t your name be changed? I could even be your mother. Aren’t you embarrassed making me call you Daddy?” “The name can’t be changed. Every system has a serial number, and my number is called Daddy!” In reality, his number was 88. But since 88 sounded like “Daddy,” why not let the host call him father? He really was a clever little ghost, taking advantage of the host verbally like this! He silently gave himself a thumbs-up. ... Looking at his old-fashioned expression, Tang Wan couldn’t help stepping forward and reaching out her hands to knead his cheeks. “It feels nice, just like a real person. Are you actually alive?” Tang Wan asked in surprise. As Tang Wan pinched his cheeks, they immediately turned red. Then, with a stern expression...
