Chapter 21: The illegal resident.
"Brother system, can you take a small break first. Aren't robot butlers illegal?"
[Countdown to the task beginning, you have thirty seconds to make a decision. 30, 29, 28]
Mei-Mei's lips twitched angrily as she watched the countdown to her death on the system screen. The damn thing had basically arrested her using her life, it was the system's way or death.
More annoying than the countdown was the stupid baby fox dancing and twisting as it counted down the numbers. Who in the large universe had given it such a crooked personality? She wanted to sit down with the inventor of the system for a small talk.
Such an amazing thing like a system should have been professional, not treated like child's play.
[22, 23]
The sound of thunder charging in the skies traveled into the house through the open windows. It was so loud and sudden, when it reached Mei-Mei's ears, it frightened her incredibly that she felt uneasy.
"Mmm, why has the weather changed suddenly?" Mo Jingzhe muttered. He turned to go and take a look at the sky and also bring in the boxes of Mingzhu's toys that were still outside. Before he could go, Mei-Mei grabbed his hands.
"Jingzhe, I am not angry with you. You don't have to apologize, I should have considered the possibility of you living with your mother when I invited you to move in with us." She looked into his eyes, reassuring him in a soft voice. "Your mother is like my mother, as long as she is nothing like Mrs. Sun, I will be happy to welcome her here."
