Chapter 2
This…
Is solid muscle!
She snapped awake instantly.
She yanked off her eye mask, turned her head, and saw that the person holding her was the still-sleeping Wang Ming.
“Ah! Wang Ming!”
The woman screamed in terror, shoved Wang Ming away with all her strength, then quickly sat up and clutched the blanket tightly to cover herself.
Wang Ming was jolted awake by the sharp scream and the forceful push, opening his eyes in a daze.
The woman before him made his mind go blank, and the headache from his hangover left him unable to react for a moment.
“A… Auntie?”
Wang Ming couldn’t believe what he was seeing, rubbing his eyes hard.
When he opened them again, it was still the shocked and panicked Aunt Zou.
“Why are you in my bed! Wang Ming! You bastard!” Zou Shuqing’s voice trembled, her eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
Wang Ming finally came to his senses, looked around, and, not having blacked out, recalled a bit of last night’s events.
“S-sorry, Auntie, I… I went into the wrong room.” Wang Ming stammered, full of embarrassment and guilt.
The woman’s breathing calmed a little as she looked at Wang Ming, whose face was still flushed from the hangover.
Wang Ming was fairly good-looking. Putting that aside, being held by him all night wasn’t exactly a bad thing, considering she was already thirty-seven.
But this man was her daughter’s ex-boyfriend! And they had only broken up half a month ago.
He actually slept in the same bed with her for a night. If word got out, how could she ever face anyone again, let alone Zou Mengmeng?
“Auntie, I… I really went into the wrong room. I wanted to find Zou Mengmeng.” Wang Ming’s tone was still a bit frantic.
“Wrong room? Do you think I’m a three-year-old? Do you realize this is trespassing!”
Wang Ming scrambled off the bed, his feet unsteady from the hangover, nearly falling again.
He quickly grabbed the headboard and said urgently, “Auntie, it really was a misunderstanding. I… I drank too much, my mind wasn’t clear.”
[Master, let us grow together. I will help you achieve a carefree life.]
Wang Ming shuddered.
What was that?
This voice… seemed to come from inside his own mind.
[Master, you can try communicating with me using your thoughts.]
[Hello?]
[Hey! That’s right, smart!]
[Me? Split personality? Because of Zou Mengmeng’s shock?]
[Wait… let me process… I’m not split personality?]
[Just bound, it’s hard to accept at once. You’ll get used to me gradually.]
[System Initial Gift Pack distributed]
[Reward pack has been added to your existing items]
[Get out of my head now!]
[Don’t get excited, Master. You’ll come to love me.]
[I will automatically trigger tasks]
[When a task is completed, you will receive a reward pack]
[I’m going to sleep now. Please explore the System interface yourself. Remember! Be bold to complete tasks. Bye-bye.]
[Ding ding…]
“Hey! I’m asking you, Wang Ming, how did you get in!”
Wang Ming had been distracted by his conversation with the System and hadn’t noticed Zou Shuqing’s question.
Zou Shuqing repeated herself.
“I have a key.”
What a mess. How did he end up in Zou Mengmeng’s mother’s room?
But thinking about it, it was damn exciting.
Zou Shuqing wasn’t Zou Mengmeng’s biological mother. Zou Mengmeng was adopted from the orphanage by Zou Shuqing when she was five.
Zou Shuqing had always been a single mother, never married.
Her looks were undeniable, even more beautiful than Zou Mengmeng, and at thirty-seven, her face showed no wrinkles, plump with collagen.
Her figure was mature and alluring.
Come to think of it, did she really sleep so soundly last night? Didn’t notice anything? He couldn’t be the only one to blame.
Wang Ming looked at Zou Shuqing in panic, hurriedly pulling out the key:
“Auntie, look, this is the key Zou Mengmeng left with me.
I’m really not lying. I drank too much last night, my head was spinning, and I don’t know how I ended up in your bed. I really didn’t have any other intentions. See how well-behaved I was all night!”
“Well-behaved my ass!”
Zou Shuqing recalled Wang Ming holding her last night, and her face flushed with embarrassment.
She quickly turned away, not wanting Wang Ming to see her current expression, deliberately covering the fair skin at her neckline with her hand.
“Forget it, I’ll treat it as a misunderstanding. You get out now!”
Wang Ming bowed, “Alright, I’m leaving!”
Wait, the System just said the binding target was Auntie.
A strange interface flashed in Wang Ming’s mind.
With a thought, the interface slowly opened, and when the full interface appeared before him, Wang Ming was stunned.
This so-called System was real!
Looking at the left side of the interface, it showed the binding status.
Current task: Spend Three Days Together
(Spend one hour together each day)
This was as chaotic as the Monkey King’s havoc in Heaven.
Wang Ming clicked on existing items, and in the item bar, the System Initial Gift Pack was clearly displayed.
He clicked to open the pack.
A prompt popped up: Received one “Hanniu Sports Car Redemption Coupon”,
Received one “Juzi Laptop Redemption Coupon”, and one “Heart’s Flower Bouquet”.
Wang Ming was stunned. The Hanniu Sports Car was a luxury brand from Daxia Country, with the cheapest model costing at least one million Daxia Coin.
The Juzi Laptop also cost twenty to thirty thousand.
He carefully checked the car redemption coupon description, which said it could be redeemed at any 4S dealership. The laptop description was the same.
He clicked on Heart’s Flower Bouquet, and the description showed that giving the bouquet to someone would increase their Infatuation Level by 30 points.
Wang Ming thought, this Infatuation Level must be the degree of affection.
Overwhelmed by his own System, it took him a while to pull his consciousness out, shaking his head vigorously.
Zou Shuqing saw Wang Ming standing still for ages and urged him sweetly, “Aren’t you leaving? Or do you want to spend another night?”
“I was thinking the same.”
