The moment Natalie opened the door and entered, the system upgrade sound sounded in her head:
[The target favorability has increased by five points, the current total favorability is five, and the task progress is five. 】
[The progress bar finally moved. It seems that the host’s efforts were not in vain! 】
Although it was a mechanical sound, Natalie could hear its excitement.
She laughed it off and became much calmer than before.
She was excited at noon because Jillian Jing had been treating her coldly and thought it would take a long time to get results, so when her favorability suddenly changed, even just a little bit was enough to make her excited.
But now these five points don't mean anything.
Maybe it's sympathy, maybe it's touching. After all, she wasted her time waiting for her and stayed in the cold wind for so long.
When Jillian Jing saw her look like that, something had to change in his heart, right?
Natalie felt that she was a qualified actor, and she could perfectly interpret the look that was three-quarters sincere and seven-quarters delicate.
Just as I was thinking this, another sneeze occurred.
Well, it wasn’t entirely an act, I really had a cold.
There is only mother at home, and Finn Fang is not here. After seeing her, Catherine Chen hurriedly greeted her.
"Why did you come back just now? You don't look well. Are you sick?"
"Something delayed me. I sent you a text message."
Catherine Chen was stunned and said, "My phone is broken and I didn't see your message."
Natalie put down her schoolbag and looked around but didn't see Finn Fang.
"Where is my brother? He hasn't come back yet?"
"Your brother went to find you, but that boy refused to listen. He insisted on riding a battery-powered bicycle out in such a cold weather."
Natalie was stunned for a moment, "I didn't see him, maybe I just missed him. You can eat first, and I'll pick him up with some thick clothes."
"Don't worry about him. He'll come back if he can't find you."
Natalie called Finn Fang, but she didn't answer the phone after ringing for a long time. Sitting at the dining table, although I was hungry, I didn’t have much of an appetite.
She was a little worried about Finn Fang.
He was really a fool to go out on a battery-powered bicycle on such a cold day.
After a while, there was movement at the door, and Finn Fang's voice came as the door opened.
"Mom, I didn't find it. Xueer must have been kidnapped by human traffickers. Let's call the police."
When she entered the door, she saw Natalie sitting at the dining table, smiling.
"I thought you were captured by human traffickers."
He was wearing a thin school uniform, his nose and cheeks were red, and the backs of his hands were blue.
Natalie was silent for a moment, then pretended to be relaxed and said, "I'm going to arrest you, too. It's easier to control a fool like you. You just fall for the bait with just a few words."
"What are you talking about? You're smart." He rubbed his hands and sat down at the dining table, picked up the bowl and ate.
Catherine Chen glared at him and said, "Go wash your hands first, you are not clean."
Finn Fang entered the bathroom reluctantly.
"Brother, don't wash it with hot water, otherwise your hands will hurt later."
Finn Fang: "Oh, my sister has grown up, and I know I feel sorry for my brother."
Natalie made a sound, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
Is this the warmth of family? It seems pretty good.
Halfway through the meal, Finn Fang suddenly shouted, frightening Natalie and her daughter.
"You want to die!" Catherine Chen scolded.
Finn Fang put down her chopsticks, looked at them, and asked nonchalantly: "I just passed by the lottery shop and bought a scratch-off ticket. Guess what?"
Before he finished speaking, Catherine Chen was slapped, and Catherine Chen slapped him hard several times, making him feel the deep maternal love.
"What am I talking about? If you buy lottery tickets again, I'll break your legs! You still don't know how to restrain yourself, are you turning a deaf ear to my words?!"
Finn Fang dodged left and right, hiding behind Natalie.
"Mom! Mom! Don't rush to take action. Just listen to what I have to say first!"
Catherine Chen was so angry that she couldn't calm down. Finn Fang took out her phone and opened WeChat to show her the balance in her wallet.
"What, a hundred...thousands, ten thousand! Where did you get so much money and robbed it?!"
Natalie took a look and had a vague guess in her heart.
"Won fifty thousand?"
Finn Fang nodded, looking proud and puffing up his chest.
Catherine Chen was still in huge shock, and after a while she asked: "Did you really win the scratch-off lottery?"
"That's not true," Finn Fang raised her head confidently, "I just said that one day I will win. Doesn't this mean that time has come?"
Natalie:......
Don't be proud, it's all because of my hard work and has nothing to do with you. Depending on your luck, winning five dollars is a gift from God.
Was it because Jillian Jing's favorability increased that he won the prize? The timing is really clever.
"I also bought a lottery ticket at noon. Look, I won 50 million!"
Natalie ignored his rhetoric and concentrated on eating. The lottery ticket was bought at noon. At noon, Jillian Jing's favorability towards her was still zero. How could he win?
I have no idea about myself and am blindly confident.
"Mom, I'll transfer 40,000 to you, and I'll split the remaining 10,000 equally with Xue'er. Do you think that's okay?"
Catherine Chen was a little at a loss, "Give it to me? How can I ask for your money if you don't take it yourself?"
Catherine Chen felt very uncomfortable because she had no ability to make money, so she still used her son's money to spend it, but her family really needed money.
"What's yours and mine? Isn't it our family's? If I keep five thousand yuan, it will last a long time."
Finn Fang said that he was about to transfer, "It seems that I can only transfer 20,000 yuan a day, and I will transfer the rest tomorrow."
Catherine Chen: "Don't transfer it yet, my phone is broken."
"That's just right. The day after tomorrow is Saturday. Let's go shopping for mobile phones together. You and Xue'er haven't been shopping for a long time. Let's go shopping and buy some new clothes. Don't worry about money. I feel like my previous luck is back. I will definitely win again in the future."
Natalie was speechless and choked.
You better stop bragging, or I'll have to work hard for your big words.
But she also wanted to know how much money ten points of favorability would cost. Five points is fifty thousand, and ten points is one hundred thousand?
The system says that unexpected good things will happen, perhaps more than 100,000. You can look forward to it briefly.
At the same time, the Jillian Jing family was separated by a wall.
Except for a coffee table and a sofa, the room was empty and didn't look like someone was living in it.
Jillian Jing sat on the sofa and opened her schoolbag, and was stunned when she saw what was on the top.
The tube of ointment that she threw into the trash can was lying on the textbook, and its twisted tube had been smoothed out.
A piece of paper was rolled on it, saying: Remember to apply medicine.
After being stunned for a long time, she put the note and ointment at the bottom of the drawer.
I was originally in a bad mood today because of that phone call, but now it doesn't seem to matter anymore.
This person insisted on being friends with her, so she believed that he was sincere.
Do you want to go to school with her tomorrow?
Jillian Jing's eyes changed slightly, revealing some complex emotions that were different from before.
Natalie really had a fever in the middle of the night.
Catherine Chen gave her some cold medicine and added a quilt. In the morning, her fever was gone and she had some nasal congestion and cough.
"It's not serious. It's better not to delay the class."
Finn Fang cooked a pot of soft and glutinous porridge and forced her to drink a bowl. Natalie broke out in sweat and felt much lighter.
"Then I'll leave first."
"If you feel uncomfortable, just ask for leave and come back, got it?" Catherine Chen was still a little worried.
"knew."
Opening the door, Jillian Jing stood at the door, looking like he was about to knock on the door. Their eyes met, and both of them looked a little confused.
Jillian Jing opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. She pursed her lips and looked away uncomfortably.
"Morning! Are you here to tell me to go to school?" Natalie raised the corners of her lips.
Her smile was too dazzling, Jillian Jing's eyes flashed, and her voice was stiff and stiff.
"Just passing by."
Natalie smiled without saying a word, walked out and closed the door, bumping her shoulder lightly.
"Let's go. I hope I'm not passing by next time."
Jillian Jing's lip line was lowered, and the expression on his face was as indifferent as ever, with no emotion at all.
The next second, Natalie received a system prompt:
