Quick-travel system: The host is having a blast in the small world

Chapter 271 8, Rebirth 80 Not a Stepmother 19

The system looked at the host's treacherous face and guessed her inner thoughts, knowing that the host would not let it go so easily.

But he still had one last question. The system flew to the front of Lin Dai and flew backwards to face her: "If the relationship between the male and female protagonists is to develop in the future, there must be a prerequisite. The male protagonist is a married man."

As soon as the system finished speaking, Lin Dai sneered, her words full of sarcasm: "How could the male protagonist's other half be a female supporting role?"

"how to say?"

Lin Dai stopped and looked at the system thoughtfully, reminding her: "You have read so many period novels, and the routines are all similar. Think about which one it is, and apply the formula to Li Rou. There will always be a few that are suitable."

After hearing what the host said, the system stopped in mid-air, with one small hand clasped to its chest and the other supporting its chin, thinking quietly.

After a moment, the system moved and said excitedly: "I know. I have summarized several situations that fit Li Rou's current situation. The first one is that the hero's original wife may have died of malaria. The second one is that the hero's original wife is pregnant and died of dystocia. And the last one is that the hero's original wife cheated on him and ran away with another man."

"Well, the analysis is quite accurate. However, the last situation is impossible for Li Rou. She is already in the late stage of love-brain. I actually hope that she cheats on her husband and runs away with someone else. Maybe she can still survive that way." Lin Dai added.

The system also thought it made sense and sighed, "So, Li Rou's fate seems to be doomed!"

“Right, these are all old clichés in novel plots. Under the halo of the protagonist, except for the protagonist himself, everyone around him is likely to become a victim, especially the characters that serve to highlight the protagonist’s growth. But Li Rou is not even as good as them. She is just an innocent passerby.” Lin Dai complained speechlessly.

"Then all our efforts to save Li Rou will be in vain, won't it?" the system asked with a hint of regret.

"No, no, our purpose is not simply to save Li Rou. I just want to be a stumbling block between the hero and heroine, so the only one who can save her is herself."

"So Li Rou can still be saved?"

"According to the original novel, Li Rou also experienced a failed marriage before she found her final destination, and now she is also experiencing her first marriage. But there is a huge difference between the two. In the original plot, the man Li Rou married for the first time was not the one she liked, but she just married someone casually arranged by her parents. After the marriage broke down, she divorced easily with the help of the male and female protagonists. Li Rou had nothing to be unwilling or reluctant about, and finally met her good match, so her life should not end here. But now there is a difference. She is marrying the person she wants to marry the most and likes the most, so no matter how her life goes, she is reluctant to separate from the male protagonist."

Finally, Lin Dai sighed: "If she can't wake up from this and get out of it as soon as possible, I'm afraid she will regret it."

"Alas, an innocent victim." The system couldn't help but sigh.

"Okay, it's time for us to leave, otherwise who knows what will happen later." Lin Dai looked at a few drunkards not far away, who were staring at her with ill intentions.

The system followed her gaze and immediately became arrogant: "Little sister, I'll go ahead! Teach them a lesson."

Lin Dai couldn't help but laugh: "That's not necessary, but maybe it can scare them. Let's go."

"Where are you going? Are you going back now?"

"Of course not. I'm already out. Let's go to the capital and buy a big house."

After saying that, the bright figure on the street disappeared, and the few foreign drunks who were walking forward were frightened and stumbled away.

In the blink of an eye, two years passed. With the help of Lin Dai, the Lin family lived a prosperous life. They even built several large tiled houses, which made many people envious.

Today is the day when Damao will graduate from elementary school and will be promoted to junior high school. Under Lin Dai's "coercion and inducement", Damao's grades have gradually improved over the past two years, and he was lucky enough to be admitted to the middle school in the county.

So after the semester ended, the school teachers invited the parents of the students who were admitted to the county middle school to come to the school for a talk. This time, Lin Dai was the one who went. It was no surprise that He Ziming was also admitted, but his parents were not seen.

When He Ziming's eyes met Lin Dai's, that familiar smile made his body stiffen involuntarily, and the slight tremor revealed his inner fear and anxiety.

His thoughts instantly drifted back to that afternoon two years ago. He was clearly on the mountain and saw that horrific scene, but he suddenly appeared in the classroom. He had no memory of how he got to school. He asked his classmates, but no one had seen him. They only knew that when they saw him, he was already sleeping on the table.

This experience made him suspicious, and although he was afraid, he still wanted to uncover the truth. He also tried to find clues from his nominal mother, but found nothing.

This made him feel confused for several days, and finally he sneaked to the next village and observed Lin Dai from afar. He didn't know why, but the moment he saw her, he was sure that it was real and definitely not a dream. However, even if it was real, what could he do? In the end, he could only bury that memory deep in his heart, and treat it as a dream that he didn't want to mention again.

Until he saw her again today, the familiar face and familiar smile instantly reminded him of that memory.

Lin Dai looked at him and understood his mood. She pretended nothing happened and listened to the teacher carefully.

Soon after the teacher finished talking, Lin Dai took Damao out of school and prepared to go home. She unexpectedly saw Li Rou at the school gate. She was now thin and haggard. When she saw He Ziming coming out, she hurriedly followed him.

Da Mao, who was standing by, saw that He Ziming didn't care about Li Rou at all, and couldn't help but tell Lin Dai: "Aunt, let me tell you, He Ziming's mother is here, and he deliberately didn't allow her mother to enter the school."

Lin Dai looked at him in surprise: "How did you know?"

"I saw it." Damao said proudly, and then whispered to her, "And I also overheard that He Ziming was very mean to his mother. He didn't tell his mother that he was coming to school. His mother came secretly."

Lin Dai was not surprised by this. After all, Li Rou was not the heroine. He Ziming came to the He family first and was the oldest. In addition, he was relatively mature compared to children of the same age due to his past family experiences. Therefore, it was difficult for him to gain his favor. Thinking about this, she turned to Damao and said, "Da Mao, it is wrong to eavesdrop on others' conversations."

"Oh, aunt, I'm so old now and will go to junior high school. Don't call me by my nickname anymore. You should call me Lin Jiaxue. And I wasn't eavesdropping. I saw and heard it with other classmates. You know, now the students in our class don't have a good relationship with him, and I don't know why He Ziming has become weird." Lin Jiaxue muttered, his tone full of confusion.

Lin Dai looked at the two people walking away, and after a moment of silence, she understood that it seemed that the incident had a great impact on him.

She patted Lin Jiaxue's shoulder gently and said, "Let's go. Let's hurry home. Your family must have prepared a lot of delicious food for you as a reward."

"Okay, aunt, let's go." Lin Jiaxue excitedly pulled Lin Dai and strode forward.

After a while, they caught up with Li Rou who was walking slowly. Lin Dai looked at Li Rou and signaled Lin Jiaxue to go first.

Lin Dai and Li Rou walked together, and no one spoke. When they were about to separate, Lin Dai spoke.

"Li Rou, is this the life you want now?"

Li Rou paused for a moment, then continued walking without answering.

Lin Dai continued to ask: "Li Rou, you could have had a happy and fulfilling life. Is it worth it for the He family?"

This time Li Rou replied: "It's none of your business."

"If I had known the result would be like this, maybe I shouldn't have helped you in the first place!" Lin Dai couldn't help but scold.

Lin Dai's words successfully stopped Li Rou in her tracks. She understood that she was able to survive because of her help. It was she who allowed her to see the scene of the witch saving her that day, and it was she who allowed her to act in front of that woman.

Although he succeeded in saving himself, he ended up having a miserable life.

"Thank you!" In the end, Li Rou only uttered two words and left.

Seeing this, Lin Dai shook her head and said nothing more.

"Chubby, is Li Rou in any trouble now?"

The system checked for a moment and replied: "No major problems for now. I am just weak, a little anemic, and malnourished."

Lin Dai couldn't help but sneer: "How selfless! Is the He family's condition necessary? I have already reminded her, I hope she won't regret it."

What Lin Dai didn't expect was that the two met again a year later, which was also the last period of Li Rou's life.

After entering junior high school, in order for Lin Jiaxue to study better, Lin Dai decided to let him live with his aunt. She also specifically asked his uncle and great uncle to teach him well. This arrangement made him feel depressed for a long time.

After failing the first college entrance examination, Ge Ming from his aunt's family was severely scolded by his family and asked to take the second college entrance examination. Under the strict guidance of his family, he successfully entered the university. So during the school period, Lin Jiaxue lived in Ge Ming's room, but the Lin family gave a lot of money to his aunt's family for accommodation and food expenses.

During the summer vacation, Lin Jiaxue kept clamoring to eat crayfish, so Lin Dai took him to the river to catch them. Unexpectedly, they saw Li Rou washing clothes again, and the clothes were obviously He Ziming's.

When Lin Dai noticed Li Rou's obviously bulging belly, her heart skipped a beat, as if she had seen Li Rou's future.

Lin Dai couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Given her physical condition, she was still washing clothes for He Ziming with a big belly. She really wanted to open her brain to see what was inside.

Li Rou felt that someone was looking at her, so she looked up to see who it was.

When his eyes met Lin Dai's cold gaze, for some reason he subconsciously avoided it and hurriedly picked up the washed clothes and wanted to leave.

"Li Rou!"

Lin Dai's voice sounded behind her, the clear voice sounded so powerful that she had to stop.

"What's the matter?" Li Rou's voice was very weak.

Lin Dai walked forward and saw that she was clearly pregnant for several months but was still so thin, yet the He family still made her work.

Recalling the plot, when the heroine was pregnant, she had already moved to the army with her children. The hero did all the work, and the children also helped. But now Li Rou is still in the countryside, still taking care of the He family alone, with no one to help. Where is He's mother?

Lin Dai asked: "You are still working with a big belly, why don't you let your mother-in-law do it? I remember she is in good health."

Li Rou was startled. She didn't expect that she called her because she was concerned about her. She couldn't help but smile bitterly: "My mother-in-law's health has been getting worse in the past two years. She can't do heavy work. She can only help to light the fire."

Lin Dai couldn't help wondering: How could this happen? In the original story, He's mother was in good health and even helped the heroine take care of the child. Why did everything change when it came to Li Rou? This must be the work of the heavens. What is it planning?

Seeing that Lin Dai seemed distracted, Li Rou prepared to go back: "Anything else? If nothing, I'm going back."

"Li Rou, let me remind you that you know your physical condition very well. Now that you have a child, you should see a doctor, otherwise you will regret it!"

Li Rou looked at her in confusion, but thinking of her unusual abilities, she nodded and replied, "I understand."

Looking at Li Rou's departing back, the system silently said: "It seems that Li Rou's ending is clear."
