Lu Lili nodded again, and then she spoke up, saying, “Mom, there’s no need to hire an auntie. I can cook by myself.”
“Okay, it’s up to you. I’ll buy groceries and put them in the refrigerator every day,” Zhao Fen responded nonchalantly.
She thought to herself that when her daughter no longer wanted to cook by herself, it wouldn’t be too late to hire an auntie.
“Mom has to go to work now, so be a good girl at home,” she said.
“I will, goodbye, Mom!”
Lu Lili stood at the door, waving her hand gently at Zhao Fen’s back.
But as soon as she locked the door and found herself alone at home, she immediately collapsed on the sofa.
She completely let herself go, resembling a seasoned shut-in.
She didn’t forget to communicate with the system in her mind, saying, [Sister System, I’m so tired…]
Just now, she had to go up and down the stairs several times, which really exhausted her. So it’s not excessive for her to lie down now, right?
After all, this world doesn’t have an original plot, and the tasks don’t seem difficult. She just needs to repeat second and third years of high school.
Because her mission target is Shi Yan, who is also a second year high school student.
And she, who is going to register tomorrow, is also attending the public high school where Shi Yan is.
Considering that there is no original plot provided to help Lu Lili understand her mission world, the system kindly gives a prompt:
[Host, Shi Yan is now your neighbor, living in room 303 next door. You can take the initiative to get to know your new neighbor and say hello.]
Upon hearing this, Lu Lili finds it very feasible and asks, “Sister System, does she have anyone else in her family?”
The system paused for a moment before replying, [There is a gambling addict father who is already being supported by a rich woman and rarely comes back to see his children. There is also a younger brother who has bad grades and often gets into fights with people.]
Lu Lili was speechless.
With such an unreliable father and a troublesome younger brother, and without a mother at home, what kind of terrible family is this?
“…What about Shi Yan? What kind of person is she?” she asked again.
System : [She looks good and has good grades, but she has extreme self-esteem issues, no friends, and believes she is not worthy of being loved.]
“No, she will have me as a friend who treats her well!”
Lu Lili immediately got up from the sofa, took some money, and went downstairs to the supermarket at the entrance of the community. She planned to buy some snacks and fruits before going to room 303 next door.
After all, it’s never wrong to be polite!
As Lu Lili walked, she observed the surrounding environment.
This is a neighborhood that has been established for twenty years. Soon after its completion, Zhao Fen, with great foresight, bought a property as her pre-marital asset.
At that time, the housing prices were quite cheap, unlike the exorbitant prices now. The average working class person would have to accumulate a lot of debt just to buy a house and spend their entire working lives paying it off.
This neighborhood is also located near a good school district. The school that she is about to attend is just a short walk away, very convenient.
There are many shops at the entrance of the neighborhood. Lu Lili chose to walk into a clean and bright supermarket.
As soon as she entered, her gaze was drawn to a teenager buying cigarettes at the counter.
The teenager appeared to be around 1.8 meters tall, with a pale complexion. He was wearing a loose black shirt and casual black pants. With one hand lazily resting on the counter, his remarkably handsome face seemed to be saying, ‘I’m the coolest.’
It’s him.
Lu Lili silently whispered in her heart.
What kind of fate was this, to encounter him again so quickly?
Perhaps sensing a pair of eyes staring at him, the teenager suddenly turned his head, and his sharp gaze locked onto Lu Lili.
Realizing that she was an unfamiliar girl, the teenager quickly turned his head back, grabbed the cigarettes, paid, and left.
