"Youyou, Youyou, did you know, Christmas starts this month."
"Oh?"
"And the day before is Christmas Eve, do you know what that is?"
It was after school, and Tang Keke was walking home side by side with Bai Yuyou. Keke was chattering excitedly, seemingly planning something.
"Christmas Eve?" Bai Yuyou seemed to know a little, then asked, "It's the day you can eat apples."
"Uh... don't always think about food."
Tang Keke explained, "Never mind the origin of Christmas, it seems like it's a holiday from some sheep religion, but nowadays, it's basically a day for young people to confess their feelings."
"So, this is our grand—offensive—for this year!" Tang Keke stretched her arm forward, like a commander giving an order.
Bai Yuyou seemed to understand but not fully, yet she still clapped her hands, "Oh..."
"Hmm, it seems your awareness isn't quite enough." Tang Keke put a finger on her chin and began sizing up Bai Yuyou's face—how to put it, although very pretty, it was the kind of appearance that would make one feel guilty for having any desires.
Tang Keke nodded deeply in agreement, "Indeed, something is still missing."
"Missing what?"
"That's right! We need a very big gift box." Tang Keke gestured as she spoke. "When the time comes, before big brother gets off work, you hide inside it."
"Oh right, right, you also need to wear a set of Christmas lingerie and tie yourself up with a silk ribbon into a pretty gift bow."
"yOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO—" The mere thought of that scene made the girl start to get excited. "As soon as big brother opens the gift box, you say, 'I am your gift.'"
"Eek!!!" Tang Keke held her face and wriggled, "So embarrassing."
Bai Yuyou seemed unable to picture that scene, probably because she wasn't as into manga and anime as Tang Keke. She just found it strange why she would be the gift.
"Come on, come on, repeat after me—'I am your gift.'" Tang Keke instructed Bai Yuyou.
"I am your gift?" Bai Yuyou tried, but her cool, clear voice sounded completely out of place, even a bit... refreshingly plain.
Tang Keke clearly realized the problem too.
"Youyou, try a cuter tone?"
"Cute?"
"Like, 'Ugh~ how annoy~ing~, big bro~ther... ahem ahem cough... oh...'" Tang Keke originally wanted to demonstrate a cutesy voice, but she lost control in the second half, and the "big brother" part came out sounding a bit like Donald Duck.
"I can't learn it." Bai Yuyou thought for a moment and confirmed the fact that she couldn't do it.
"That's true." Tang Keke found she couldn't teach it either and started wondering if any of her friends knew how to do this.
Peach?
Peach probably wasn't likely, she occasionally blurts out something like 'ah' or whatever.
Sister Chen Qin?
Forget it, that doesn't seem possible either.
An Shiyu?
That one, even less possible.
Just as Tang Keke was pondering, a familiar yet strange tone came from not far away,
"Aiya, so annoying, big bro~ther~, why not check out our massage service first~" The sugary/seductive voice made Tang Keke pause for a second, and she looked towards the direction of the sound.
Huh?
A short-haired girl in a short skirt was smiling cheerfully, seemingly handing out flyers.
An Shiyu?!
"Little miss, at your massage parlor, what's your technician number?" A man nearby asked with a smirky smile, seemingly wanting to touch her hand.
"Aiya, big brother, I'm just working part-time after school. If you want to come, it's not like I can't~" An Shiyu deftly dodged without showing it and said with a smile, "Shall we go?"
"Aiya, although you say that, I don't have much money on me either... little miss, if you're willing to go see a movie with me..."
Hearing this, An Shiyu's expression fell, and she spoke in her hometown dialect, "Damn, you greasy creep, that's enough."
The man was taken aback. What dialect was this girl speaking? Was she cursing him?
"Aiya, since big brother has no money, then I'll go find another big brother." An Shiyu's face quickly put on an adorable, moe-like expression, leaving the man stunned.
So, he must have misheard earlier.
"Alright, alright, I'll go take a look."
"Thank you~"
After the man entered the nearby massage parlor, An Shiyu used the flyers in her hand to fan herself, then rubbed her cheeks.
"Hmm... poor and horny men are really hard to deal with."
Then she seemed to notice something and spotted the dumbfounded Tang Keke and the utterly confused Bai Yuyou not far away.
"Oh, it's you guys." An Shiyu put one hand on her hip.
"You... are you possessed?" Tang Keke walked up to An Shiyu, looking left, right, up, and down, completely unable to imagine that the cutesy-voice spirit from a moment ago could be this person.
"You... is there something you're struggling with?"
"Nope." The girl showed her deadpan eyes.
"Why are you handing out flyers here, and that kind too?" Tang Keke rubbed the goosebumps on her arm, "Eek..."
Seeing Tang Keke like this, An Shiyu suddenly covered her chest, hung her head, and lowered her voice,
"I... haven't been well recently. My family went bankrupt and has no money for treatment, so I had to do this."
"I don't believe a word of it." Tang Keke said with a look of utter disbelief.
"No money? I have some here." Bai Yuyou, however, handed over her bank card. "There are a few million in here."
An Shiyu unceremoniously took it, "Thanks, I'll pay you back when I have time."
"Don't give it to her!" Tang Keke snatched the card back. "How could you possibly have no money! The entire Yinshan Academy belongs to your family."
"Tch."
"Clicking your tongue is useless. Youyou, you're just too naive."
"CiallO～(∠・ω＜)⌒★!"
"Stop making these meaningless expressions."
After fooling around for a bit, Bai Yuyou checked the time and asked An Shiyu if she wanted to go eat together.
"Eat? I better not... hmm..." An Shiyu took out her phone and glanced at it, then added, "I'll come over after I finish handing out these flyers."
"Okay."
...
When Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke returned home, they found that Ye Shuang and the others had already returned. Besides the familiar golden-haired loli, among them was even An Shiyu, sitting on the sofa playing with her phone.
"Didn't you say you'd come over after finishing handing out flyers?" Tang Keke was taken aback.
"Instant transmission, normal." An Shiyu said lazily from the sofa. "Pretty amazing, right?"
"You didn't just watch us leave and then take a flying taxi over, did you?" Tang Keke's expression was somewhat speechless.
And she felt like An Shiyu was totally capable of doing something like that.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints.
