Zhang Xiaoxiao asked the system in her mind, "Is there really no other way to complete the task except marrying him?"
【There is no other way.】
"But what if, after I marry him, he doesn't like me?"
【Don't worry, he won't like anyone.】
"Why not?"
【Because he is the villain.】
"......"
Zhang Xiaoxiao felt a bit anxious. "System, what if I end up falling in love with him after marrying him?"
【That won't happen, trust me. He only has feelings for his family; he won't develop any emotions for anyone else.】
"Really?"
【Really, I promise you.】
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "......"
Seeing that it couldn't persuade Zhang Xiaoxiao, the system decided to calm her down with side quests.
【How about this, host? To help you complete your task better, I'll give you some side quests. As long as you complete them, I'll send you back immediately and grant you one wish.】
"Is that true?"
【Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?】
Zhang Xiaoxiao hesitated a bit. "Well... okay then."
【Great, now let's start with the first side quest.】
"Wait a minute." Zhang Xiaoxiao interrupted it. "What is the content of the task?"
【The task is... to make the villain have feelings for you.】
"......"
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "System, are you messing with me?"
【No way! How could I dare to mess with you? You are my host!】
"Then why would you give me such a task?"
【This is a side quest, not a main quest. If you complete it, you'll get rewards and can go back. If you don't want to complete it, that's fine too.】
"Can I go back by myself right now?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Because your soul is bound to me. Unless I disappear, you can only stay in this world."
"......"
Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't want to say anything more; she felt like the system was threatening her.
"Host, don't be angry. I'm not intentionally keeping you from going back. It's just that it wouldn't help if you returned now; you don't have a physical body, so you'd still be stuck in my space."
"Can't I go home?"
"Your physical body has already been cremated. You can't go back."
"......"
Zhang Xiaoxiao felt sad for a second but then perked up. "It's fine; I've already died anyway. There's no point in going back, so I might as well stay here."
"It's great that you can think that way."
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "......"
After her mental exchange with the system ended, her consciousness returned to reality.
She remembered Zhao Guangcai's initial coldness towards her and then recalled his caring and tenderness a month later.
She couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Host, what are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at you."
"What’s so funny about me?"
"You wouldn't understand; kids shouldn't ask so many questions."
"......"
The system was infuriated by Zhang Xiaoxiao but felt helpless.
At that moment, a sudden knocking sound came from outside the door.
Zhang Xiaoxiao sat up quickly. "Who is it?"
"It's me, Li Xiumei."
Zhang Xiaoxiao paused for a moment before realizing that Li Xiumei had come to visit.
She slowly got out of bed and made her way to the door.
As the door swung open, Li Xiumei stormed in, her voice filled with anger. "Zhang Xiaoxiao, are you the one spreading rumors about me in the village?"
"What rumors have I spread?" Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at her in confusion.
"You said I'm not my parents' biological daughter."
"..."
It dawned on Zhang Xiaoxiao that this part seemed to be from the original story. In the original text, Li Xiumei's true identity was revealed, and everyone in the village learned about it, creating a rift between her and the male lead. This plot twist was instigated by the female antagonist, who liked the male lead but knew he favored Li Xiumei. She deliberately spread rumors to drive a wedge between them. However, now that Zhang Xiaoxiao had taken on the role of the female antagonist, she didn't like the male lead and had no intention of breaking up him and Li Xiumei.
"Speak up! Did you spread those rumors or not?" Li Xiumei demanded, her frustration boiling over.
Zhang Xiaoxiao met her gaze. "I didn't spread any rumors about you."
"If you didn't spread them, then how do people in the village know about this?"
"How would I know?"
"If you don't know, then who does?"
"Ask the village chief; I'm leaving." As Zhang Xiaoxiao turned to shut the door,
Li Xiumei blocked her way. "You can't leave! You need to clarify this!"
"I already said it wasn't me; believe it or not."
"If it wasn't you, then who could it be?"
"How should I know? You’re asking me as if I have all the answers."
"You..." Li Xiumei was furious. Seeing Zhang Xiaoxiao's indifferent expression only fueled her anger further. She couldn't understand why Zhang Xiaoxiao would spread rumors about her when they had no grievances against each other.
She wanted to confront Zhang Xiaoxiao directly, but now that she was face-to-face with her, she found herself at a loss for words.
Noticing Li Xiumei's silence, Zhang Xiaoxiao asked, "Do you have anything else to say? If not, I'm closing the door."
Li Xiumei remained silent.
Shaking her head, Zhang Xiaoxiao finally closed the door.
