Luo Beishi glanced at his account; he had less than a hundred Face-Slapping Points in total. It would take forever to accumulate that much. He was filled with sorrow. Maybe he should let Huo Cixiao train on his own after he woke up; he could recover eventually anyway.
"Host, keep going! Success is just around the corner. Don't give up. Aren't you happy to be proven wrong?" the system coaxed patiently.
Luo Beishi suddenly remembered something. "Did you forget to draw a card for me? I completed the Flower of Illusion quest!"
System: "Sorry, host, I was watching TV that day!"
Luo Beishi helplessly, "It's okay, just don't do it on purpose. Hurry up and send it to me again."
As Luo Beishi watched the system's lottery page scrolling down, he nearly fainted from anger. " Tongtong, what is this? Tell me what this is?"
The system's soft, slightly embarrassed voice said, "Sorry, host, this is... this is a skin enhancement card, also known as a beauty card."
Luo Beishi: "Why would you give me a beauty salon card when I'm a grown man? I look like this now, and you're kicking me when I'm down!"
Ever since he awakened to his true self, he always felt that a man should be like Huo Cixiao, with a great physique, or handsome and dashing. Unfortunately, the reality was that he... didn't live up to his cool and handsome image.
System: "Want to use it, host?"
Luo Beishi: "No, I'd rather die than use it. Even if I jumped off the second floor, or didn't eat mango pudding for a year, I still wouldn't use it!"
System: "Good heavens! Host, are you making a solemn oath here?! Don't humans all pursue beauty?"
Luo Beishi nodded, telling it with absolute certainty, "You, a system, wouldn't understand."
"The system understands what the host says~" The system's childlike voice can even imitate a human tone to act coquettishly.
Luo Beishi couldn't stand the cuteness overload and finally gave in, figuring that since the system wasn't human, it wouldn't tell anyone.
"I used to be gay, but I was controlled by the plot. Now, I don't like anyone. Do you think I'm still gay? I don't even know my sexual orientation anymore!" Luo Beishi has been quite troubled by this issue lately.
"Host, don't you like to sleep hugging the main villain? Do you like the main villain?" The system didn't understand, but in TV shows, hugging between humans meant they liked each other.
"Stop with all that nonsense. I like hugging Huo Cixiao simply because he's handsome and comfortable to hold! Okay, that's enough." Luo Beishi had tried it; none of those large, fluffy plush toys could possibly be as comfortable to hug!
System: "..." There's a saying on TV, "saying one thing but meaning another," and another, "Chasing your husband will be like going through a crematorium!"
Luo Beishi took out his phone and asked Ling Kai to send his legal team to contact Lin Feifei and make sure she received some humanitarian support. He didn't know much about the law and didn't know how she would be sentenced. He would have to see how far the legal team could go. Huo Cixiao's right-hand men were too useful.
He didn't need to lift a finger, after all, he was Huo Cixiao's partner, so it wasn't an abuse of power.
Huo Cixiao listened to Luo Beishi, sometimes laughing and sometimes looking dejected. He was curious about what his cheap wife was doing, but it was definitely not out of concern for her.
"Honey, it's all sorted out again. It wasn't difficult at all. What were these people thinking? They just showed up uninvited, practically asking for trouble."
Huo Cixiao: "..." Why did I worry about him? How can his heart be so strong?
After this incident, Grandpa Huo called to comfort him, saying that he could come to him if he needed anything.
But if something really happens, Luo Beishi wouldn't dare to approach this old ancestor. He had recently given him a lot of things, and the other branches of the family were all envious, but dared not say anything.
After all, he hadn't accepted the gift money yet, and given that he had given Huo Cixiao shares, the Huo Family could only watch with envy, but dared not do anything presumptuous to Old Master Huo. If there were any brave souls, they would definitely get a severe scolding.
Luo Bai, who recently took another long leave, was truly unwilling to see Luo Beishi rise to prominence and enjoy such glory.
He didn't believe Luo Beishi really had that much money, since he always wore faded pants.
It's getting increasingly strange. Could Huo Cixiao be behind this?
Could Luo Beishi be just a target pushed out by Huo Cixiao? Everyone says the Huo Family is rife with intrigue; perhaps Huo Cixiao isn't actually in a vegetative state at all?
It only makes sense if Huo Cixiao is the mastermind behind it all; otherwise, he really doesn't believe Luo Beishi has such ability, and only those people online believe it.
Luo Bai and Luo Beishi have seen each other countless times over the years, so how could Luo Beishi possibly have so much money?
He's going to report! That's right! Report the illegal gains Luo Beishi!
"Host, host, Luo Bai is going to report you!"
"It's okay, let him report it. I'm going to sleep a little longer."
"Host, aren't you panicking?"
"Didn't you arrange everything? What's the panic? At worst, you'll die; you'll just close your eyes and it'll be over." Luo Beishi the system abruptly woke him up.
If it weren't just a system, it would definitely have been thrown out!
Huo Cixiao: "..."Stop whining!"
At this moment, Huo Cixiao's hands were held in Luo Beishi's arms, and Huo Cixiao could clearly feel his cheap wife's soft belly.
Even though it wasn't his fault, his thoughts were being pulled in a strong way.
This ambiguous behavior had been going on for many days, and it was truly unbearable each time. Huo Cixiao felt himself oscillating between torment and pleasure.
This is terrible.
But he dared not shake it off; he could not speak, could not open his eyes, but he could move his limbs.
This is really weird.
If his wife saw this, she'd be terrified!
After dealing with the system, Luo Beishi discovered that her husband, nicknamed "Money Tree," had been sleeping with his body constantly burning hot, and it seemed like he could sleep without a blanket.
Luo Beishi slept until it was time for dinner.
Huo Cixiao was helpless; lately, whatever his wife did, it was always just incidental to him.
The radio dramas were played haphazardly, as were the news broadcasts—entertainment news, gossip, stories of strange people and events, a hodgepodge.
Has my cheap wife started to lose interest?
Was it because he wouldn't wake up and she finally got impatient?
However, Luo Beishi said something that shocked him, "Honey, eat more, hang in there, you'll definitely wake up!"
The gloom that had just risen over Huo Cixiao was immediately dispelled.
Hmph, considering how hard his cheap wife is encouraging him, he won't be angry with her. Besides, she's already exhausted from taking care of him physically, so it's understandable that she can't take care of him emotionally.
Besides, his wife is so young, six or seven years younger than him, so it's normal for her to be a little lazy. Huo Cixiao isn't the kind of person who likes to argue with children.
Luo Beishi has been taking care of Huo Cixiao as attentively as ever lately, but he's already tired of listening to the radio drama, so he just casually dismissed Huo Cixiao. Anyway, Huo Cixiao hasn't heard it yet, and the system is so reliable, how could it possibly make a mistake?
