Ch1yo: Hi readers! Just wanted to take the opportunity to thank Lorettelala and Beverly for the ko-fi! You guys are awesome! Thanks for the support! And thank you all for reading my translation =)

Lou Xia wanted to continue but Lou Wei interrupted her, “We’ll talk more when we get home.”

Lou Xia glanced with the corner of her eyes at Xiao Wu who was driving and nodded without saying anything. 

Lou Wei, Lou Xia and Wen Fan waited quietly for Xia Wu to bring them home.

From the moment she discovered Wen Fan until the time they got off in front of Lou’s Family villa, Lou Xia never shifted her sight from Wen Fan.

When Xiao Wu drove off after sending them to their destination, Lou Xia who had been holding back a stomach full of questions opened her mouth, wanting to ask more about Wen Fan.

Lou Wei immediately interrupted her, “This is the company’s latest humanoid Quick Ball System. We definitely can’t let others find out about this. You don’t need to ask about it to prevent leaking this secret out.”

Although Lou Xia was unaware of what’s the level of achievement the company’s technology level had reached, she was aware of the vigilance about ‘protecting trade secrets’. At school, a lot of people asked her about the progress of the latest game that Lou Wei was developing. When she heard her brother saying this, she nodded her head seriously, indicating that she will not probe further.

Two humans and a system went home safe and sound.

Wen Fan found it incredible that Lou Wei and Lou Xia seemed to have a sort of tacit understanding. The way they talked and handled things was harmonious and unified as if they would not come across any contradiction at all. His first impression of Lou Xia had left him thinking that she would be an arrogant and decisive young miss with a cold face. But in fact, Lou Xia actually was easy to get along with.

She was indeed Lou Wei’s sister. Both of them had a cold appearance but in fact, they were nice to get along with.

As Wen Fan was thinking, he felt his thighs tickled.

He lowered his head to find the little white puppy from Jingdong which leaned on the penguin’s tummy just now was now leaning on his leg.

Its short and delicate limbs were concealed by his oversized head. Wen Fan could only see its tiny back and the tail attached on its butt that wiggled vigorously.

The little white puppy rubbed itself against him and used him as a safety handrail. It leaned on Wen Fan’s leg to keep itself balanced so that it wouldn’t fall due to its oversized head and small body. It was whimpering in a sound that little puppy made when it was comfortable.

The QQ Penguin beside it took a yard ball from behind its butt. It waved the ball around, beckoning it, attempting to lure the puppy to it. But the puppy ignored it completely.

The penguin with a big white belly became irritated. It threw the ball to the floor and as a result, Wen Fan watched as the orange ball of yarn bounced off the floor of the desktop to the side of the mobile frame and then bounced back and forth between the human, penguin and puppy inside the phone screen. 

Wen Fan immediately led the two animals to hide at one side. He then saw that ball of yarn bouncing toward him.

Before he could lift his hands to shield himself, the desktop above his head suddenly shifted. The APP from the second page suddenly came to the first page. The NetEase Music APP which was on the topmost, with a logo bearing a music note made from a white string, straightened itself in mid-air. It hit the yarn ball and sent it flying.

Wen Fan, “…”

Wen Fan saw the yarn ball flew straight to the sky. But when it was in midair, Wen Fan heard the sound of a cat meowing.

Before he could react to the source of the sound, a black cat jumped from the APP Icon in the middle of the screen. It caught the yarn ball in mid-air and landed on the floor.

The cat let out another excited meow, “Meow~”

Wen Fan and the Penguin looked at the Tmall cat in front of them in silence.

The black cat turned around and widened its eyes to stare at the little white puppy. It squinted its long black eyes, lifted its paws from the yarn ball and charged toward the Jingdong puppy with a provoking meow. 

Jingdong puppy immediately grinds its teeth toward the TMall cat.

It sprang its hind limbs and pounced straight toward TMall cat.

As a result, it slipped and slammed onto the screen. It laid upside down on the floor.

Tmall cat saw it fall in such an awkward manner. It opened its mouth and laughed hysterically while hugging the yarn ball, rolling on the floor.

The little puppy was so furious that it had already begun to grunt in protest. 

Seeing that the dog and cat were about to start a war, Wen Fan wanted to go over and pick up the little white puppy. Before he could do that, a giant face suddenly appeared in front of the screen,

Lou Xia with light makeup winked at Wen Fan and then squinted as she smiled, “My brother is cooking, you are mine now~”

She had a strong physical resemblance to Lou Wei. Even the way they smiled was similar. Her deliberate smile wanted to show kindness which in turn made the corner of her mouth even more rigid, radiating a sense of gloom.

Wen Fan felt a chill down his spine from her smile. He picked up the whimpering little white puppy from the ground and took two steps back in caution.

He did not expect that not only did Lou Xia not understand that he was deliberately putting a distance with her, instead, she leaned forward and her face was almost touching the screen.

She spoke softly, asking, “Little brother, my name is Lou Xia. May I know what’s your name?”

Wen Fan placed the little puppy to its original spot and replied to Lou Xia, “Hi, my name is Wen Fan.”

Lou Xia noticed the speech bubble on top of Wen Fan. She said regretfully, “It turns out that you can’t make a sound. Sigh~I was guessing how you sounded like.”

Wen Fan, “…”

Lou Xia waved her hand and even tried to comfort him, “No worries, my brother is very detailed when it comes to designing software. I’m sure he will install a sound card plug-in for you soon.”

Based on her statement, it was clear that she didn’t doubt Lou Wei’s words at all. She really believed that Wen Fan is really a mobile phone system. Wen Fan secretly let out a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to thank her, he heard Lou Xia speaking again, “So, Fan Fan, can you…”

The smile of the cold beauty faded. However, she now looked kinder.

Wen Fan, “What?”

Lou Xia extended her first finger and pointed to the sky before continuing, “Help me to complete my homework?”

Wen Fan, “…” Little sister, your mindset is very dangerous.

Lou Xia saw that Wen Fan did not respond. She clasped her hands in front of the phone screen as she fixed her gaze at Wen Fan and said firmly, “With your intelligence, surely you can help me to complete my homework, right? The homework assigned by old man Zhou was made up by himself. The questions were not available on the internet at all. I’m so mad!”

Wen Fan still kept quiet.

Boss Lou Wei helped him to sort out his hospitalization matters. If he tempted his sister for not doing her homework properly, wouldn’t it be inappropriate?

Lou Xia saw that Wen Fan did not utter a word, she lowered her voice and leaned closer to the screen, “ Fan Fan, please help me.” Seeing that Wen Fan still kept quiet, she gritted her teeth and said, “Actually, I know your secret.”

Wen Fan, “Huh?!”

Lou Xia looked around her and squinted at Wen Fan. She said each word clearly with a fierce look, “You are not a mobile phone system at all.”

Wen Fan – shock, “?!” 

Did Lou Xia discover anything?

“You are actually ——” Lou Xia fixed her stare at Wen Fan. Their gaze met and the teenage girl pursed her lips slightly and continued saying, “You are my brother’s——”

Wen Fan gulped.

Lou Xia, “Mobile phone partner!”

Wen Fan, “…” Young lady, your cold beauty aura was broken.

“You are the mobile phone dating game that my brother designed, right?!” Lou Xia said, “I knew it. My brother couldn’t get a girlfriend all this while. He didn’t appear anxious but deep inside, he was like a pot of boiling oil.”

The girl twitched her lips and took out an exercise book from the very bottom of the traveling bag beside her. She stared hard at Wen Fan.

“I always thought that my brother likes women. I never expected that he’s into men. But it doesn’t matter.” She waved her hand and said, “Anyway, the function is the same.”

Wen Fan, “???” 

What function?

Lou Xia pursed her lips and smiled. This expression was more warmhearted compared to the deliberate smile just now. But because her lips were a little too thin and the corner of her lips was rather flat, she appeared as if she was harboring malicious intentions.

“My bachelor brother finally designed a mobile virtual partner for himself to console his spirit that had been single for over twenty plus years. He won’t let me tell others because it was so embarrassing. Well, I understand. Intelligent software like you is meant to provide services to your owner right? You are so intelligent that you can even converse with me and interact with other applications. Surely you can understand my brother’s trouble?”

“So, as long as you help me to complete my homework, I promise I won’t tell others about you.”

“…” 

So, after talking so much, the main point was still the last sentence., right?

Wen Fan was speechless.

Little girl, does your brother know that you are so open-minded?

He felt that close to giving up. If his feelings could be expressed by GIF, the top of his head would definitely be a locomotive bell ringing non-stop with a train passing by.

But Wen Fan didn’t manage to wait for the locomotive alert to sound. He felt a pain shot across his head and a blue paper plane fell from on top of his head.

Wen Fan lifted his head and saw that ‘TMall’ had crawled to the APP icon of ‘AMAP.com’. The map that originally had a blue paper plane was now left with a piece of map only.

TMall sensed Wen Fan’s gaze on it and flung its tail at him and jumped down as light as a feather. It made its way beside Wen Fan’s leg and lifted its butt and sat on Wen Fan’s feet. It gazed at him with watery eyes, rubbing its body gently against Wen Fan’s leg.  

It really knew how to act coquettishly!

Wen Fan immediately forgot about Lou Xia and bent his back, intending to run his hand along the cat to rub it. 

Jingdong puppy who Wen Fan had already put back to the APP icon saw that TMall cat who misdeed was acting coquettishly. It was so furious that it kept barking and jumped down from the APP icon.

Below Jingdong APP was ‘Wukong Q&A’. As a result, it knocked against the APP and sent the gold band flying out. The QQ Penguin leaped and caught the gold band. It swung its wings and threw it on top of Wen Fan’s head.

Before Wen Fan could react, Lou Xia immediately spoke in a solemn tone, “There was once a set of sincere homework placed in front of you. But you did not treasure it. Don’t wait until the day you lost it and it would be too late for regrets. Nothing can surpass such a pain in this world——”

Before Lou Xia finished her words, the human and system suddenly heard a familiar cold voice beside them, “What are you doing?”

Wen Fan was unable to see Lou Wei from his point of view. But Lou Xia could already see him. She immediately stopped her topis and sat upright. She switched back to her previously aloof image within a second, “Bro, you’re done preparing dinner so soon?”

Lou Wei walked beside the mobile phone screen and glanced up and down at Wen Fan, as if making sure that he was alright.

When Lou Wei was looking at Wen Fan, Lou Xia’s gaze moved back and forth between both of them. Wen Fan sensed the teenage girl’s gaze and he instantly had a bad feeling about it.

As if Lou Wei was trying to confirm his conjecture, he asked again, “You were you guys talking about just now?”

Lou Xia said with a clear voice, “If he helps me to do my homework, I will accept that he is my sister-in-law.”

Wen Fan, “…”
