Chapter 14: Record Still Refreshing

Su Yu waited for a while, but the system was silent.

Su Yu wondered, "System, did you go offline?"

Su Yu poked the cup of milk tea floating in midair.

【Record is still refreshing…】

Su Yu: Damn!

Just by listening, she knew this Gacha System was a bottomless pit. Su Yu hesitated—should she recharge or not? She had promised the system she would recharge, but she had only been in this house for a day and had already spent a million; would that give great-grandmother and elder uncle a bad impression?

The system also took Su Yu's situation into account; the milk tea in midair swayed back and forth, also weighing the pros and cons.

Knock knock!

Who's there?

It's me!

Wait a moment!

【System, could you apply to see if it can be changed?】

Wulongcha shook, 【It can't be changed; Host, you go out first, we'll talk later.】

Su Yu hurried out, opened the door, and looked up.

【The haggard elder uncle is also very handsome!】

Su Xi visibly softened for a moment.

Good morning!

Good morning, elder uncle!

【From that hoarse voice, you didn't really cry all night, did you?】

Su Xi skillfully lifted the person and strode toward the elevator.

"Put me down, I'll walk!"

"Great-grandmother, help! Elder uncle isn't listening to you!"

Su Yu flailed, trying to get down.

She's heavy; what if the clothes tear?!

What if elder uncle doesn't hold her steady?!

Downstairs, Yang Zhichun smiled as he watched Su Xi lift Su Yu into Su Yi's room, then turned to Ji Yan and said, "There's a child in the house now; life has become more interesting."

Ji Yan glanced over, confirming her daughter was fine. The elder brother still knows his limits. She didn't go over, but smiled and nodded, "She's a bit rambunctious."

Yang Zhichun patted Ji Yan's hand, "You've worked hard all these years!"

Ji Yan hesitated briefly, but still told Yang Zhichun about Su Yu and Jiang Yuzhen's matter. She felt such things shouldn't be hidden from the family, and it was also her fault.

Su Yi's ward

"Say hello to your dad!"

"Good morning, dad!"

【What's elder uncle's problem? He brings me over first thing in the morning just to make me greet my dad?】

Su Xi glanced at Doctor Shi Tingzhang, the supervising physician standing on the other side. Shi Tingzhang shook his head.

Not awake yet? The younger brother does love to sleep in.

Su Xi's gaze fell on Su Yu, who stood obediently in place; she's at least a bit more diligent than her brother.

"Elder uncle, can we go eat now?"

【So hungry!!!】

A sharp, booming cry rose from within Su Yu. Since becoming a child, she can't endure hunger; every time she's hungry it feels terrible!

"Eldest Young Master!"

Shi Tingzhang suddenly spoke, and Su Yu, frightened, clutched Su Xi's leg, "What's wrong?"

Su Yu looked left and right, then realized Shi Tingzhang was almost blending into the white sheets of the ward.

【There's actually another person here?! Feels like a horror movie!】

Su Yu saw clearly; it was a doctor, and she politely greeted him.

"Good morning, Doctor!"

Shi Tingzhang tugged at his stiff mouth corner, "Good morning!"

Su Xi frowned, "You've even watched horror movies? She's only three years old, how could she watch that?"

Su Xi lifted Su Yu and handed her to Yang Zhichun.

"Grandma, give her a good scolding; where did she sneak to watch so many dramas!"

Su Yu:???

【No, you just let me say good morning, and now you're scolding me? The drama thing is over, isn't it? Besides, does that even relate? Not letting me eat in the early morning and then scolding me—elder uncle, you're being unreasonable! *Whine! * I'm so hungry!】

"Great-grandmother, the baby's hungry~"

Su Yu squeaked, acting cute and coquettish with Yang Zhichun; she really was hungry.

"Alright, alright, we'll eat first!"

Yang Zhichun pretended to be clueless with a grin. As for scolding her, no rush; we can ask after the meal.

Su Yu looked at the elder uncle who went back to Su Yi's ward.

"What about elder uncle?"

Yang Zhichun couldn't suppress his laugh when he recalled the news from this morning.

"He still has matters to attend to; we'll eat first."

"Alright!"

Su Yu used to hold her mother's hand, offering a flattering smile.

"Wow, so many thoughtful things! All my favorite foods!"

On her spot were lean meat and rib porridge, steamed buns, wontons, dumplings, steamed dumplings, and other Chinese dishes.

The most crucial part was that everything was in super‑small portions!

She could finish every item!

"Mom, this looks like a toy! Hehe!"

Su Yu ate happily! The steamed dumplings was only as big as her finger, barely filling her stomach!

……

Su Yi's ward

"He still hasn't responded to us?"

"Yes, Second Young Master just showed a brief reaction, but it quickly subsided. We haven't fully identified the stimulus."

Last night, during Shi Tingzhang's routine check, he discovered a newcomer had been slacking and wasn't monitoring Su Yi's condition in real time. After dismissing the person, he sped through the footage, intending to replace the newcomer's daily tasks, and found that Su Yi, who seemed stable, actually had a special reaction!

He rushed to the third floor that night to inform Su Xi.

Su Xi told him to give real‑time feedback on Su Yi's condition in the ward today. He was a bit stunned until Su Xi brought Su Yu…

Can parent‑child bonds really have that much power? Then why was the reaction so brief?

Su Xi looked at the timestamps on the status chart, compared them with the recorded times, and could confirm that the younger brother could hear Su Yu's thoughts.

He also wondered what the younger brother's inner world was like.

In the lawn, a humanoid object rolled back and forth, rolling back and forth…

"Ahhh! This daughter is not cute at all!"

"It's early morning, you're hungry so you eat, why wake me up! I can't sleep! Ahhh!"

……

"Mom, great‑grandma, I'm done~ I'm going back to my room!"

Su Yu smiled at the two people in the living room, then went to her room to discuss the first‑charge matter with the system.

"Sweetie, come over."

Su Yu turned, tap‑tap walked to Yang Zhichun's side, and in a baby‑voice asked, "Great‑grandma, what's wrong?"

Yang Zhichun settled Su Yu onto the sofa beside her.

"Now you can tell us where you actually saw that TV drama."

Ji Yan nodded, looking seriously at her daughter. During the time she lived with her daughter, she had only shown her cartoons.

"I… I promised not to betray them."

【Should I lie? Sigh, what to do if I don't want to lie nor tell the truth? Uncle made me!】

Hearing this inner voice, Yang Zhichun stopped pressing further.

"You made a promise with other kids, and you kept it. That's right. But you're still very young; you should watch TV dramas after you grow up, or with a parent present. Some ideas in dramas aren't entirely correct; adults will tell you what you should learn and what you shouldn't, understand?"

Yang Zhichun gently patted Su Yu's head. If Su Yu truly loved watching TV dramas, she didn't object, but she must watch together with an adult. After all, it's easy to pick up bad habits, hard to learn good ones!

Su Yu nodded obediently, "I understand."

"Let's go, to the company."

The good news great‑grandma received was that Su Yi showed a reaction; she didn't write it outright, fearing the babies would find it wordy. If anything's unclear, please tell me, don't abandon the text~
