It seems that the villain is targeting me.

Lu Yao was not in a very good mood at the moment.

This was the first time in nearly two months that she was allowed to leave the house - and it was only because school was about to start that her father finally agreed.

Before this, let alone traveling abroad or shopping in malls, Lu Yao basically spent the entire summer vacation in confinement.

But the lifting of confinement does not mean that Lu Yao will have a good life in the future.

The day before school started, Lu's father gave her a severe warning and made it clear to her that as punishment, all her pocket money would be deducted for the next two school years.

Her family would only pay for her necessary tuition and living expenses, and she should not dream of having any personal freedom until she graduated from high school and was admitted to college.

Lu Yao was obviously very dissatisfied with this: "Haven't I already apologized to Lu Zhiqing? What else do you want from me?"

Whenever she recalled what happened that day, she became extremely angry: she had just had her stomach washed and was lying in bed dying, but her father, who had hurried back, forced her to admit her mistake to Lu Zhiqing.

Lu Yao started to make a fuss at that time, shouting that he hadn't done anything to her - Lu Zhiqing was fine, so I was the one who suffered in the end!

But this time, her father, Lu, who had always loved her, did not take sides. Instead, he angrily scolded her. If her mother had not stopped her, she would have been slapped in the face.

Lu Yao was dumbfounded. She couldn't understand why her father suddenly changed his attitude and stood on her sister's side.

Her impression of Father Lu still remained in her previous life - her father rarely scolded her when she was a child, and later the lifeblood of the company was completely in the hands of Gu Tianjiao, and her father's attitude towards her was even more pleasant to the point of flattery.

Lu Yao felt very unfamiliar with this father who started to scold her harshly.

The roar at close range made her eardrums vibrate. She was finally frightened and had to admit her mistake to her cheap sister.

However, Lu Zhiqing did not accept her apology.

“I’m sorry,” she said, “but I’m not obligated to forgive you.”

After saying this, Lu Zhiqing left the ward, leaving his father with a sullen face there.

"Huh? What's with all that disrespect?" Lu Yao muttered softly, feeling a lump in her throat as she recalled the scene. "I'm the one in the hospital, okay? Why should she be so aggrieved?"

She said this in a very low voice, so that only she could hear it, and she looked insecure.

Obviously, although she was used to being strict with others and lenient with herself, Lu Yao was not unreasonable. She knew that she was in the wrong this time.

What on earth had happened? How had she ended up in the same situation as in her previous life? Lu Yao bit her nails anxiously. Not only had she been seen by Brother Tianjiao, but she hadn't even been able to...

Damn it! In her previous life, she had no idea how many conflicts she had with Gu Tianjiao because of this matter!

Lu Yao couldn't help but feel irritated at the thought of having to repeat the process of her previous life.

"Um, that, Second Miss?"

The driver in the driver's seat asked cautiously, "Second Miss, did you hear me?"

"What are you doing?" Lu Yao frowned. "Didn't I ask you to drive? How come you can't even do such a small thing?"

Recently, the second young lady has been very difficult to serve. She always loses her temper over the slightest thing, making the servants and nannies working under her miserable.

The driver was just a poor worker. He didn't dare to say anything when his employer's children pointed at him and scolded him. He said brightly, "Uh, Second Miss, the master said that from now on, we will all pick you up and drop you off at school. You can't... uh, you can't..."

The driver was so worried that he almost pulled his hair out. He thought: How can I say "You can't bully my family anymore" in a tactful and pleasant way?

Thinking about Lu Yao’s criminal record, the driver felt a headache.

Not only did she like to bully the kid from the Gu family who was living under someone else's roof, she also often made trouble with her sister, always doing things like "I don't want her to ride in the same car with me, you take me back first".

Although most of the time Lu Zhiqing was too lazy to argue with her and would rather take the bus back directly, after it happened so many times he even applied to live on campus.

The driver stammered and was unable to speak. He wanted to simply repeat what Lu's father said, but he felt that no matter how he said it, this ancestor would explode.

At this moment, the door of the back seat of the car was slowly opened.

The person who had been waiting for a long time finally showed up, but it was only Gu Tianjiao. He carried his schoolbag and got into the back seat of the car.

The moment she saw him, Lu Yao's originally angry tone instantly became harsher.

Lu Yao's face showed a look of great surprise: "Brother Tianjiao!"

In the small car, twenty toes were silently clenched.

The two hadn't seen each other during their confinement. Because of this, Gu Tianjiao seemed rather reserved. He smiled awkwardly, "Yaoyao."

Then he turned to look at the driver and said, "Uncle, Sister Zhiqing had some things to do at school and reported in early. We don't have to wait for her."

Driver: “Oh.” Then he took the steering wheel and prepared to drive.

Lu Yao muttered, "If she doesn't want to come, then don't come. I don't want to sit with her." At the same time, she couldn't help but peek at Gu Tianjiao in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

The Gu family will be up soon, and she has to find a way to ease the relationship quickly. She thought anxiously, not knowing whether what happened that day had left a bad impression on Brother Tianjiao.

It shouldn’t be a problem, Lu Yao comforted herself in her heart. He had said before that he liked me.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel proud again: Humph, my poor sister, so what if you are Bai Yueguang? Even in the last life, Gu Tianjiao married me.

Suddenly, Lu Yao heard a strange mechanical sound.

[Trigger conditions are met, internal self-test starts...]

[Stored energy is exhausted. Tried to activate backup resources, but there are none left. Error, error...]

[External luck value detected. Do you want to extract and replenish it? Note: This operation is a serious violation.]

"I don't care what you say!" An extremely angry voice rang out in her mind, "Start beating!"

The next second, Lu Yao's mind

Suddenly, I felt numb, as if I was hit on the head by a falling piano.

She pressed her left hand to her temple and slammed her body against the car window with a strange "Ah!"

The driver was so frightened by her behavior, which seemed like she was possessed by an evil spirit, that he trembled all over and almost drove the car into a tree.

He slammed on the brakes and looked at Lu Yao beside him in shock: "What, what happened?"

Lu Yao was even more confused than the driver. She touched her head nervously, as if she was possessed by an evil spirit.

This, this must be fake, why did a strange garbled code suddenly appear in front of her eyes?

This is totally unscientific! How can there be noises in your head for no reason?

But the fact was that there was a harsh and irritable voice chattering in her ear, one sentence after another without any pause, as if a patient with late-stage bipolar disorder was circling in the room.

[Scan started, installer loading, loading error, operation template loading, version incompatible, scan ended.]

[Ha! You scored a brilliant 17 on the subconscious mind test, beating out 0.4% of existing users and earning the brand new title of 'the one who slipped through the net of nine-year compulsory education.' Ha! Unfortunately, you haven't met the basic requirements for program loading. This system will automatically disconnect in five seconds. Five, four, three, two, damn, no way.]

[Where's the host? Where's my host? Where's a host as big as me?] It screamed like a groundhog in Lu Yao's mind, [Oh my god—why is it you, you crazy bitch!]

"Second Miss? Are you okay?" The driver shook her shoulder. "Did you hit your head?"

Lu Yao slapped the driver's hand away and said in disbelief, "You, who are you?"

[It's over. My host is gone. I'm finished.]

The voice muttered distraught, "My host, my precious, how could you die at such a young age? I'm so fucking pissed! I'm going to die with you, you crazy woman. Five, four, three, two."

Lu Yao was so frightened that her legs clenched. She had never expected that the father in her head would like to count down whenever he disagreed with her.

She practically screamed, "No! Wait! Wait!"

The driver retracted his hand and his whole body moved visibly half a meter to the left.

He made eye contact with Gu Tianjiao in the back seat and spoke tremblingly, "Should we go to the hospital first?"

Lu Yao continued to scream: "Stop counting! I'll do whatever you want! Don't explode!"

Gu Tianjiao nodded frantically at the driver.

"What's the point of you promising me that, you damned fool?" an unknown voice shed two wide, digital tears. "What the hell is this? I've never seen anything like this in my life!"

Lu Yao wanted to punch it, but couldn't bear to hit herself on the head.

She decided to endure the humiliation and first find out what this thing was.

Lu Yao took a moment to glance at the driver who was slamming on the accelerator, and managed to lower her voice: "You, what is your purpose? You have to tell me first so I can know."

Lu Yao swore that her tone had never been so gentle since she was born.

But the voice ignored her - it was emo in her head.

"I really want to self-destruct! I have no host left, no organization left, and no hope of survival," it cried desperately, "Self-destruct! I'm going to blow you into pieces of different-colored confetti."

"Don't give up thinking! If you think about it carefully, there must be something you regret not completing in time, right?"

Lu Yao had risked everything to stay alive. She had used up all her life's patience to soothe the bipolar patient in her head.

"Don't explode, wuuu," Lu Yao cried, her words so unclear that no one could hear. "I, I'm still young. I was finally reborn. I don't want to die..."

【You were actually reborn?! 】

The unknown system jumped up angrily. If it had a physical body, it would have strangled Lu Yao to death by now. [Why didn't you give my host the chance to be reborn?!]

[Still regretful! The biggest regret in the world is your brain... Um, wait... Hiss, it seems like you're just going to make do...]

Lu Yao suddenly shuddered.

She had a terrible feeling that she had fallen into a trap.

But before Lu Yao could say anything to refuse, a line of subtitles appeared on her retina.

[Ding, you are performing illegal operations! ]

[Ding, uninstall the user protection program, ding, uninstall the standardized operation monitoring section, ding, uninstall the basic mall...]

【System initialization completed.】

[This software has high risk. Should it be moved to illegal control? Continue downloading.]

Lu Yao opened her mouth wide and stared blankly at the windshield in front of her, looking as if she were in a daze.

【Ding! 】

This sentence was no longer an automatic prompt. The voice in her head read the word out in a creepy voice.

[Ha! The system has issued a new task to you!]

[Task 1: Go beat that guy up like a pig.]

The system didn't even bother to act anymore and just opened its mouth to dictate the task details: [That one, the son of luck, the Gu Tianjiao sitting behind you, beat him to death, first slap him hard in the face twenty times, damn, I'm so pissed off!

. 】

"The mission's over anyway! I'm going to kill this guy to vent my anger!"

[Just wait, let me sort out the steps, step by step - it's okay, don't think about it, just follow the list I give you and chop them one by one - damn, your physical fitness is really terrible!]

[Useless piece of shit! Go out and run five kilometers tomorrow to exercise!]

This time, Lu Yao's tears really fell. She shook her head in despair, "Can you please not run?"

The system still ignored her. It was muttering to itself, calculating how long the limited remaining energy could keep it running. However, after several calculations, it came up with a very pessimistic number.

The car suddenly became quiet.

Lu Yao, who had been shaking like a convulsion and talking to herself, suddenly calmed down like a puppet with its strings cut.

The driver slowed down, stepped on the brakes and stopped by the roadside, holding the steering wheel tightly, not daring to move.

I'll run away if she goes crazy, the driver made up his mind secretly, why should I risk my life for 500 yuan a month.

Gu Tianjiao was also a little uneasy, but seeing that Lu Yao had stopped her strange movements, he still plucked up his courage and called out to her, "Yaoyao?"

"Yao Yao, are you okay?"

Lu Yao didn't answer him.

After a long while, she finally began to move unsteadily.

Lu Yao first unbuckled her seat belt, then looked around, and then took off a button from her school uniform jacket and clenched it in her right fist.

Then, Lu Yao turned around and stared at Gu Tianjiao without blinking, making the latter feel creepy.

After a while, she opened her cherry lips slightly, exhaling sweetly: "Mr. Lu Xun once taught us that the wool comes from the sheep."

Although the voice was still Lu Yao's, it was much more powerful. "I was stupid, choosing the faraway place over the near one. Aren't you the one with the most luck here?"

Then, Lu Yao stretched out her left hand and grabbed Gu Tianjiao's collar while his eyes were filled with confusion, fear, and helplessness.

The handsome boy was forced to lean forward. He should have resisted immediately, but the girl looked at him with such solemnity and seriousness, as if she had thousands of words to say.

The soft hand holding his collar was so warm, and the knuckle of the index finger just touched his rolling Adam's apple.

Gu Tianjiao didn't move. He stayed where he was, not knowing what Lu Yao was going to do.
