Chapter 4: Where is my little brother
Lu Lingyue noticed that the system had no sense of disturbing anyone's sleep at all.
So, she had no choice but to follow along with its words and continue answering.
"I've decided. I want to become an internet celebrity in the beauty sector."
The system seemed taken aback by Lu Lingyue's choice.
"W-what?! You actually chose to become an internet celebrity in the beauty sector?!"
"Is there a problem?"
Lu Lingyue didn't understand why the system was so surprised.
"I didn't expect someone like you, a typical shut-in, to have the potential for success!"
Even the system's praise sounded so infuriating.
Before Lu Lingyue could respond, the system went on chattering.
"Host selection successful! We're now tailoring a path for you to reach the peak of life!"
Lu Lingyue felt a little nervous, unsure of what kind of trouble this system was about to cause.
"Host name: Lu Lingyue. You have successfully bound to this system. Your first task: Upload your first piece of content and gain 100 followers! Task countdown: Two days."
"Two days?! You want me to gain 100 followers in just two days?!"
Lu Lingyue found the task a bit ridiculous.
This was her very first task!
She had been using a certain video account for years and still only had a few followers, three of which were promotional accounts.
"Exactly. What's the problem with two days? If you think you need more time, I can shorten it to one day!"
The system said, clearly displeased.
"No, no, I mean... two days is way too short! Can one video really bring that many followers?"
"If you don't have enough confidence, then accept the fate of being rubbed into the ground by a dozen men!"
The system snorted, sounding dismissive.
"Well... okay, but other systems give rewards after completing tasks. You didn't tell me about any rewards!"
Lu Lingyue suddenly remembered and quickly added.
"Where did you hear that nonsense?!"
The system answered rudely.
"No other systems offer rewards! Only mine does!"
"So, what are the rewards?"
Lu Lingyue became curious about what the system was offering.
"Well, the rewards from my system are hidden. You'll discover them yourself after completing the task! I'm not telling you the details!"
The system said in its most adorable voice, but the words were still infuriating.
"How can you act like this as a system?"
Lu Lingyue felt like she had bound herself to some malicious system.
"Ah, what time is it? I'm going to sleep now, goodbye!"
The system yawned in response to Lu Lingyue's complaints, seeming not to care at all.
"By the way, if you don't complete the task in time, I'll send a few strong men to rub you into the ground!"
After saying that, the system's irritating voice disappeared into the air.
Lu Lingyue was left alone on the bed, feeling utterly confused.
This malicious system!!
The more she thought about it, the more it felt like she had signed some kind of contract.
This wasn't a path to the peak of life at all!
But, unfortunately, she was already bound to it, so Lu Lingyue had no choice but to lie down again, resigned.
At that moment, only the jasmine scent from her nightgown could soothe her wounded heart.
What Lu Lingyue didn't know was that her disciplined sister, Lu Xiaoxue, hadn't gone to sleep yet.
Lu Xiaoxue, wearing the same thin white lace nightgown as Lu Lingyue, stood on the balcony bathed in moonlight, gazing down at her phone.
Inside her phone were the photos and videos she had taken of Lu Lingyue earlier that day.
As she flipped through them, a bloodthirsty gleam appeared in her eyes.
She gently traced the image of the white-haired, red-eyed little girl with her delicate finger, softly murmuring.
"You are mine, you can only be mine..."
"Lu Lingyue, from now on, you will belong to me alone..."
Although her tone was soft, the words were chilling.
A breeze swept by, scattering her words into the air.
Lu Xiaoxue put her phone down and retrieved a small, gleaming knife from her desk drawer.
In the quiet moonlight, the knife gleamed brightly.
Lu Xiaoxue's lips curled into an eerie smile as she held the knife and walked out of her room.
Barefoot and silent, she moved down the hallway, her shadow stretching long under the moonlight, making her appear even more terrifying with the knife in hand.
When she reached Lu Lingyue's door, Lu Xiaoxue stopped.
The next second, the door opened.
Lu Xiaoxue silently approached Lu Lingyue's side, lifting the knife in her hand.
She pressed the blade to her own pale finger and cut it, drawing a small stream of blood.
Tilting her head, she gazed at Lu Lingyue's peaceful sleeping face, the urge to kiss her rising to a fever pitch.
Lu Xiaoxue wanted to smear the fresh blood on Lu Lingyue's soft, pink lips, savoring the blood while tasting her soft lips.
Just as she was about to touch her finger to Lu Lingyue's lips, a sudden vibration came from her pocket.
"Ring ring..."
Lu Xiaoxue's phone began to ring.
The ringing woke up Lu Lingyue from her sleep.
Half-conscious, she thought she saw Lu Xiaoxue leaving her room.
But too tired to stay awake, Lu Lingyue fell back to sleep.
The next morning, as the sun rose, Lu Lingyue got up as usual, ready to make breakfast for Lu Xiaoxue.
After preparing the eggs and tomato sauce, she went to the bathroom.
As she pulled down her pants like usual, she realized she was wearing a skirt!
Confused, she felt herself and realized something was wrong.
Her body had changed...
She had become a girl!
"Wait!!"
Lu Lingyue finally woke up completely.
She had transformed into a little girl with white hair and red eyes!
The shout caught the attention of Lu Xiaoxue, who had just returned from her run.
Lu Xiaoxue, dressed in a fitted sports outfit, revealed her long, slender white legs.
Her ponytail bounced as she moved, her face flushed from exercise, and her blue eyes were clear as she watched Lu Lingyue.
"Lingyue, what are you doing?"
Lu Xiaoxue's lips curled into a subtle smile.
"I wasn't doing anything!"
Lu Lingyue protested loudly, her response giving too much away.
"Oh? Really? But with this little body of yours, it's not very convincing."
Lu Xiaoxue folded her arms, eyeing Lu Lingyue with an amused expression.
Lu Lingyue swallowed nervously. Lu Xiaoxue made too much sense, and she couldn't find a way to refute her!
