Your Body Is Honest
"Are you really Abu? Or are you just playing with me?"
Wuling still found it hard to believe that the white-haired little girl in front of her could be associated with that flying white pig.
"Absolutely true, genuine, what, still don't believe it? Want to give it a try?"
How do I try it?
"Buy me some dorayaki, steamed lamb, pizza, hamburgers, braised beef, roast chicken, duck leg, beef dumplings, preserved vegetable pancakes, and large slab noodles..."
As Abu rattled off a long list of dishes like counting numbers, Wuling's eyelids twitched.
"Stop, stop, stop! I believe you, I believe you, okay?"
Wuling rubbed his forehead. He now believed that the white-haired loli in front of him was indeed Abu, and the groceries she listed were all the ones he had bought for Abu in the past few days.
Ever since this pig started following him, it's either complaining of being hungry or saying it's hungry on the way. Wuling can't do anything about it; it's his own system, so he just has to take good care of it.
This meant that he would buy more food for Abu every day before Abu, after school, on the way Abu, and after Abu.
Putting aside the fact that he hasn't gained much weight despite eating so much (since he's already quite chubby), Wuling was very curious about how he could eat so much food, and almost without stopping.
Before Wuling, I personally witnessed her devour a whole roast chicken bigger than her head in three minutes, and then nonchalantly continue eating sesame seed cakes. Does she have a black hole in her stomach? Even a pig couldn't eat that much.
I was doing this part-time job to save some money, but now it's all gone into this pig's mouth. If it continues like this, I might even have to pay out of my own pocket.
"So why have you become like this? I can't recognize you at all."
I've never heard of any system that comes with a physical component. Abu's is already unexpected; shouldn't it usually just be an electronic screen?
"So? This is my human form, do you like it?"
As Abu spoke, he circled around in front of Wuling, and you have to admit, he was quite a sight to behold.
If you disregard the appetite, it's actually quite good, but I can't help but like it.
Wait a minute, since it's Abu in disguise, then maybe I can... hehehe.
Without hesitation, Wuling took advantage of the moment when Abu turned her back to him, slipped his hands under her armpits, and pulled her into his arms.
As soon as I held it in my arms, I smelled a strange fragrance. I couldn't quite put my Wuling on it, but it was very pleasant and gave me a relaxing feeling.
Brother, you smell so good now!
To his surprise, Abu actually had body temperature now; he had thought it was just an empty shell. But this was even better, more wonderful.
Abu was clearly a little uncomfortable when she was suddenly picked up, kicking her little legs wildly in the air. But she calmed down after Wuling put her hand on her head.
It feels so comfortable, completely different from the fuzzy feel of before.
Abu was clearly enjoying himself; his ears, which resembled hair on either side of his temples, perked up, and he occasionally made purring sounds.
This should be an ear, right? It looks the same as before. Oh well, let's give it a try.
Wuling tried placing her hand on her ear and pinching it slightly. Hmm, the feel was the same as before, so it seemed to be her ear after all.
When he pinched Abu's ear, she visibly stiffened, and as Wuling continued to rub her ear, her face grew increasingly red.
"Wait, wait a minute."
Abu's voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of panic in its tremor. His two legs, which had been hanging in the air, were now rubbing together tightly, and he curled up in Wuling's arms like a little dumpling whose soft spot had been exploited.
"Don't, don't pinch there... it's itchy."
She reached out and gently pried at Wuling's wrist, her strength pitifully weak. It was less a resistance and more a coquettish act of feigned reluctance, lacking any real power whatsoever.
"So that's what you're afraid of." Wuling deliberately lowered his voice, his tone slightly teasing.
"You used to rip me off for pocket money and trick me into buying all sorts of food every day. Now I've finally caught you red-handed."
Abu's body went limp from being squeezed, and he collapsed in his arms, his skin turning a light pink. Soft, aggrieved whimpers escaped his throat.
"I... I was just expending normal energy."
"Oh? Is that so?" Wuling raised an eyebrow and gently stroked the tip of her ear with her fingertips.
"Ugh!"
Abu trembled and immediately gave in.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, please stop pinching me."
She reached out and grabbed Wuling's wrist, her small body pressed tightly against his chest, trembling as she begged for mercy.
"I'll eat less from now on and won't try to trick you into buying things for me."
Seeing her instantly cower in fear, Wuling couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"Really? You say no, but your actions seem to say otherwise."
Just as Wuling was about to pinch the tip of her ear again, footsteps sounded outside the warehouse.
"Senior, we have guests. Let us..."
As soon as Chisaki turned around, her eyes widened in shock upon seeing the contents of the warehouse, and she abruptly stopped mid-sentence.
"Oh, it's Chisaki. Okay, wait a moment, I'll be right out."
Wuling didn't seem to notice anything amiss and was still rubbing Abu's little face. Since no one else could see, she could just let herself knead it.
"S-Senior, what are you doing?"
The air fell silent for a moment.
Wuling's hand, which was rubbing Abu's cheek, froze in mid-air. He turned his head and realized that something might be wrong, but he didn't dare to think about it any further. If it were true, he would be finished.
"Oh, what's wrong?"
Wuling tried his best to calm himself down. He could only pray that things didn't go as he had expected. It was still a pity that things didn't go as planned.
Who is that little child you're holding?
Chisaki's words shattered all his illusions.
Chisaki stood at the warehouse entrance, still clutching the unfinished Pocky stick in her hand, frozen in place, her eyes darting back and forth between Wuling and the unfamiliar white-haired little girl in her arms.
She had only come to call Wuling to go out and pick up orders, never expecting to witness such a scene.
"Chisaki, let me explain, it's not what you think."
Wuling quickly withdrew his hand from Abu's face, frantically trying to put him down while mentally organizing his words.
"She is..."
Abu quietly turned his head to the side of his shoulder, secretly glanced at Chisaki, and then quickly shrank back.
Chisaki blinked, slowly raised the chocolate bar in her hand, her voice trembling.
"Senior... when did you bring a child to the store? Auntie Bo said outsiders aren't allowed in the kitchen or storage area."
Her gaze was so striking; it seemed to say, "Have I disturbed something terrible?"
"She's not an outsider, this..."
At Wuling, I was speechless. I couldn't just say, "This is my system. I was originally a white, unidentified flying creature. I just transformed into human form today. I was just playing with her ears when I realized you could see her."
Are you sick?
Abu rolled his eyes in his arms, then suddenly poked half his head out, trying his best to look obedient.
"Hello, sister. I'm Wuling Ling's sister, my name is Abu."
