Xi Yu spoke again, “What about this stone?”

As expected, the system fell silent once more.

What exactly is this thing?

Why is the system so secretive about it? Even advanced technology seems hesitant to discuss it. Is it really safe for Little Qiqi to play with it?

“Never mind, system. I won’t tease you anymore. I just repaid 100,000 star coins, which means I can use another 100,000 star coins now?”

Upon receiving a positive response from the system, Xi Yu felt reassured. For now, at least she had another 100,000 star coins to spend.

With money in her card, even her dreams were sweeter.

The next morning, when Xi Yu woke up, Xi Qi was already sitting on the grass bed, propping her chin up and looking at Xi Yu.

Her bright black eyes paired with her soft little face were particularly eye-catching.

“Little Qiqi, what are you doing?”

“I was afraid that sister would sneak away while I was asleep, so I got up early. After washing up, I just sat here watching sister. Sister is such a lazy bug, the sun is already up, and you’re still sleeping. How embarrassing.”

Xi Yu calmly got out of bed. “If a child doesn’t get enough sleep and wakes up too early, they won’t grow tall.”

Xi Qi’s serious face turned into panic at this moment.

“Sister, you can’t be serious?”

Xi Yu put down the cleaning cloth and smiled slightly. “Little Qiqi, didn’t you already know?”

Xi Qi immediately burst into tears. “Waah! I don’t want to be short! I want to grow tall to help you! I don’t want to!”

Her voice was so penetrating that even the system couldn’t help but speak up.

“Host, is it really okay to deceive a five-year-old child like this?”

“Is it a lie that not sleeping well will make you short?”

The system was at a loss for words. There was nothing wrong with that statement.

Silently lighting a candle for Xi Qi, it seemed that she would be immersed in the fear of not growing tall for a long time.

“Little one, I’m going out. Do you want to come with me?”

Xi Qi sniffled and saw that Xi Yu wasn’t stopping to wait for her. Wiping her tears, she hurriedly followed.

Her short legs quickly kept up with Xi Yu’s pace, the tiny hands needing both to hold onto Xi Yu’s hand fully.

“Sister said she would take me with her, so she can’t leave me behind!”

Xi Yu smiled helplessly and patted Xi Qi’s face. “Today, sister isn’t going out. We’ll stay here.”

Xi Qi widened her eyes at Xi Yu, as if to say, ‘If I had known, I should have cried longer. Is it normal for me to lie down and cry a bit now?’

Xi Yu smiled. “Come help your sister.”

“Oh.”

Any sense of grievance vanished instantly, her sister actually needed her!

“Sister, what can I do?”

Xi Qi moved her little stool over and sat beside Xi Yu, watching her busy work without really being involved. What kind of help was this?

Her little head buzzed with thoughts.

Xi Yu suddenly realized, “Oh, then help me read! Your childish voice will motivate me to study even harder.”

Xi Qi: “…Machine thinking refers to robots…”

The sound of reading began to fill the air. Xi Yu smiled; with Xi Qi around, everything felt more energized.
