Chapter 19: Talking About Chickens, Not Ducks

"What did you say?"

"I... what I mean is, ahem, I'm too tired, I don't feel like moving... uh, brother, goodnight!" Liao Qing quickly pulled the blanket over himself.

Liao Ning turned off the lights and said, "Go to bed early. Don't you have final exams tomorrow?"

With a sudden exclamation, Liao Qing's spirits lifted. Oh no, the matter of the exam still hadn't been settled yet!

"Don't tell me you haven't even started preparing yet?"

"I'm going! Brother, are you free these days? Can you help me with tutoring?"

"...I'm free on the weekend."

"Fantastic!"

The room suddenly became quiet. Liao Qing fell asleep and there was no sound at all, leaving Liao Ning alone, tossing and turning almost sleepless throughout the night.

The next morning, bright and early, Liao Mama's morning kiss arrived. "Darling, why aren't you sleeping in your own room?"

"Um... Mom... can I sleep a little longer, please?" Liao Qing rolled over, wanting to laze in bed.

No, my dear, how can you be so lazy? Come on, get up quickly.

After three reminders, when Liao Ma's patience was completely exhausted, she flew into a rage and yanked off his blanket, then unleashed a resounding roar: "Get up!!! Eat breakfast!!! Hurry up!!!"

Are all women two-faced?

While eating breakfast, Liao Qing felt doubtful about life.

Is the woman who calls him "little baby" the same woman who goes crazy?

At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in his ear.

"Of course, what does this indicate? It means that you are my biological child."

Zhen Ji lazily replied.

Liao Qing thought that he was having an auditory hallucination, but after seeing the elegantly seated little frog, he suddenly remembered that he still had such a system that was always absent from home.

"Seriously, where have you been these past few days?" Liao Qing missed him a little.

"Puh...!" Zhenge Ji's carefully maintained elegant image was instantly shattered.

Can you please call me by my real name more seriously? My name is Zhen Ji!

"Oh, then I'll call you Xiao Ji."

Damn it! Why do you talk about a chicken and not mention others, be civilized, do you understand?

"The grammar is wrong. It should be 'do' instead of 'are'," Liao Qing corrected him earnestly.

Fuck your mother!

"This is foul language, children shouldn't say it."

Zheng Ji's eyes turned red, helpless as she spoke, "Alright, won't you ask me why I've appeared again?"

"Why?"

"Because it's nearing the end of the year! Don't you understand the importance of hitting targets? Now, do you even realize how out of touch you are? With the addition of Liao Ning, and your own parents, there are only three people left who genuinely care about you. What a disappointment! Shape up!"

"'Blame me?' she asked."

"Why blame others if not you!"

"Woof woof woof woof woof!!!" (Who is this?)

Suddenly, the dog named Fugui, who had burst into the conversation between the two, could actually see Zhen Ji.

"You can see me, huh? Both of you are time travelers, and I am responsible for managing the two of you. No, correction, one person and one dog. Liao Qing, listen carefully, one should not be more of a failure as a human than a dog."

After confirming, Zhen Ji looked at Dog Fugui with a desperate expression and said, "There's no hope. You, as an adorable pet, can't even find someone who genuinely cares for you. How pathetic your dog life is!"

"Woof woof woof woof woof!" (You motherf*cker, you're asking for death!) Fu Gui barked discontentedly.

"Reality is just this cruel," said Zhen Ji as she turned around to Liao Qing. "The new year is approaching, so put in more effort and strive to achieve better performance."

"Okay, Xiaojiji."

"Do you believe that I can beat you to death?"

"Are you saying 'chicken' but not 'pigeon'? Am I not being civilized enough?"
