At first, the System's mission was to reform a scumbag.
I worked toward that goal too. To reform a scumbag, you have to start when he's a baby.
I arrived when Xiu Yi was a baby. Looking at the little baby sucking on a pacifier, I slowly approached and leaned over his crib like a female ghost. "Don't grow up to be a scumbag."
"Waaah!" A burst of crying was my answer.
Satisfied, I returned to the point in the timeline where the story began.
But the very next moment, I ran into Xiu Yi.
I was just about to pretend I didn't know him and walk past when he grabbed my hand. "What, you don't recognize me anymore?"
I panicked, while a stampede of a thousand horses thundered through my mind.
What was going on? How did he know me?
This wasn't how the story was supposed to go!
Later...
I looked at the man lying beside me, tears streaming down my face, and finally understood what had happened.
