Let the system try to save the world

The entire Gu family was shrouded in a sad atmosphere.

Gu Yugui gently put him on the bed. He looked at Xitong's face deeply, as if he wanted to carve his face into his soul.

"Okay, Mr. Gu." Xitong reluctantly raised her hand and patted his head, "I will look like this in my next life."

"How can you be sure?" Gu Yugui rubbed his head against Xitong's palm like a big dog that was about to lose its owner.

"Well, obsession?" Xitong pretended to be profound and thought for a while, "I just want to look the same as in my previous life. It's not like I want to cause a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace and cross my whole family out of the Book of Life and Death."

"Don't make me laugh." Gu Yugui burst into laughter, "Seeing you are still so energetic, I feel relieved."

"Okay." Xitong patted his back, "Let me take a nap. When I wake up, I still have half a bowl of chicken noodle soup from you."

"Mr. Gu is cooking personally, I have to show my support..." Xitong closed her eyes, and this time she never opened them again.

"I'll keep it for you." Gu Yugui tucked the corner of the quilt for him, "Don't break your promise, Xitong."

"I command you, do not break your promise." Although it was an order, the tone was pleading.

The hands gradually grew cold.

"You know what?" Xitong's soul floated higher and higher, almost breaking through the clouds. "I've heard a saying that the reason why humans can't see souls is because souls are higher-dimensional life forms, and low-dimensional beings cannot observe high-dimensional beings. That's why no one has ever seen a ghost."

"So some things can only be seen after death." He turned around, "Are you the system? I finally see you."

"I am." The system replied.

"Why are you still here?" Xitong's soul said to him.

"I don't understand a lot of things." The system answered honestly.

"If I can answer it," Xitong said, "provided that no Black and White Impermanence or Death comes to catch me, I will be happy to answer your question."

"No, I'm here, they don't dare." said the system.

"You are nothing like what I imagined." Xitong looked at the white ball in front of her in surprise. "In Anzhi's words, you are like a devil who would bribe human souls to make deals. Now you look a little..." cute.

"I used to have a form more like the demon in human mythology." said the system.

"So you don't want my soul?" Xitong asked.

"You can have it." The system replied dignifiedly.

"If I sell my soul to you, will you fulfill my wish?" Xitong asked.

"Of course, the system believes in the spirit of contract." The system jumped twice, probably nodding.

"Okay." Xitong said, "You can ask questions now."

"What exactly is love?" the system asked doubtfully.

"This question..." Xitong was speechless for a moment, "Maybe no human can perfectly answer what love is now."

"Then let me change the question. Who is your favorite human being now?" asked the system.

"Xining." Xitong answered without hesitation, "My child."

"I thought you would choose between Shen Anzhi or Gu Yugui." The system was a little surprised. They were now communicating in the form of souls, and Xitong could not lie in front of him.

"Them." Xitong chuckled, "Indeed, I love them too."

"But you're asking about your 'favorite'."

"I didn't intend to keep this child." Xitong smiled, "I'm an omega. At least I'm sure it wasn't Shen Anzhi who marked me, and Ningning is definitely not his child."

"I was too young at the time. When I found out there was another life in my body, the doctor told me that if I chose not to have this child, I might never have the ability to have children again. I might even die on the operating table."

"It was Anzhi who told me that he didn't care whose child it was, he wanted me to live. To prove his words, he put all his savings and bank cards in front of me." Xitong sighed, "Even if we really can't afford to raise this child, we can still send him to a suitable family through legal means."

"The total amount is more than 34,500 yuan." Xitong said, "For us at that age, that is really a huge sum of money."

"We took the money and went across the ocean to work hard in another country." Xitong continued, "After Ningning was born, we looked at many potential families, but in the end we didn't make a decision."

"In the end, it was Anzhi who was reluctant to leave." Xitong said with a smile, "Every time we found a family, he would investigate them for a month."

"You know, the United States is not a good place." Xitong shook his head. "Copper smelting, drug use, gunfights, the more he investigated, the more worried he became. When he was most sensitive, he wanted to tie Ningning to his waist."

"While I was hesitating, the little ball-like thing gradually developed lines on his face. He learned to walk and called me dad." Xitong pursed her lips and smiled happily and sweetly. "During the most painful period of my life, I wanted to end my life countless times."

"It's Xining." Xitong said, "I named him casually. At first I just hoped that he could be calmer and stop crying all the time."

"Later, my hope changed. I hoped that he could live a peaceful life." He continued, "This overly smart child always used his clumsy methods to pull me back from the brink of death."

"Seeing the continuation of my life begging me not to leave, I have no choice but to pick up my broken heart and fight this damn world again." Xitong spread his hands, "Now that I have met you, the battle planned by Anzhi belongs to me..."

"Is this a victory?" he asked.

The system did not speak, and a yellowed parchment appeared in front of Xitong.

The text above did not belong to any language of Blue Star, but he could miraculously understand it.

"There is a problem with the flow of luck in this small world. The similarity with the original plot is less than 50%, so the advancement is judged to have failed." The system said, "Sign this contract. After this world restarts, someone will use your body. In exchange, the other party will realize your wish."

"My wish." Xitong held the parchment and sighed, "I don't have any wishes myself, can I make a wish for someone else's wish?"

"Tell me about it?" The system signaled him to continue.

"I hope my child, Xining, can break away from the so-called 'script'." Xitong said, "System, you can do it, right?"

"If his soul strength is up to standard," the system said, "I can do it."

"Thank you." Xitong smiled and pressed her handprint on the parchment. "I have nothing to say."
