After I Woke Up to Find I Had a Wife - Chapter 2

“According to the laws of time, you should already have been cremated, so there’s no such thing as burying your body anymore.” The system opened a tiny spatial crack and stared at Lin You, big eyes meeting big eyes.

Seeing that Lin You did not speak, the system paused briefly. It secretly glanced at the person who was deep in thought, its blue eyes turning into wavy lines as it broke the awkward silence.

“Cough. Let me introduce myself. I’m the Great Completion System. I specialize in fulfilling other people’s last wishes. Before you died, your last wish was that you hadn’t gotten to see Fu Xinran slaughter everyone and destroy those scumbags, so you felt unwilling.”

“After sensing your powerful wish energy, I was drawn to you. The main system selected you to be my host and help you fulfill your last wish.”

As for what the system would gain after the wish was completed, it did not say. The Great Completion System merely took out the script it had prepared long ago.

It would never admit that it had made an operational error. The stubborn system was online and acting proud. As for what kind of mistake it had made that caused it to keep its mouth shut so tightly, that would have to be brought up later.

When Lin You heard the system speak without stuttering, she suddenly raised her head. “Then what about the original body? Does this count as me stealing the original body’s body?”

Although she hated that scumbag Alpha, she could not accept inexplicably stealing someone else’s body.

“Aren’t you the original body? I had you directly reincarnate over here.” The system was baffled. W-wasn’t that the case?

The system’s brain circuits almost exploded again. Why were there bugs everywhere?

“Reincarnate? How is that possible? Last night, I was still at home eating fried chicken and drinking beer. Then today, as soon as I opened my eyes, I was here. What kind of reincarnation can suddenly make me grow this big…”

Lin You jumped off the bed and gestured up and down excitedly. What kind of reincarnation was this fast? Had she eaten super pig feed or something?

“Huh?!” The system swished its tail, its brain circuits already tangled into a mess and nearly burning out. It circled around Lin You again and again. “It does seem a little big, huh.”

Lin You was covered in black lines.

“This isn’t just a little, okay? Bro, did you even graduate before coming out here to guide hosts?”

The system blinked its large mechanical blue eyes. It did not dare answer and could only change the subject. “Then I’ll go back and check the data again. Don’t expose yourself for now, okay? You’re already familiar with the plot, right? I’ll go back first. You hold on for now.”

After saying this in a great hurry, the system did not care whether Lin You was actually familiar with the plot or not. In an instant, it turned into a small streak of lightning and disappeared with a snap.

Lin You did not even have time to reach out and stop it before the system ran away.

“Can you be a little more reliable, bro?”

Lin You withdrew her hand dispiritedly and collapsed onto the bed like a salted fish that had lost its water, ready to let whatever happened happen.

After lying there for a while, she became… rather curious about what she looked like now.

Lin You stood in front of the mirror and patted the face that looked almost the same as her original face. She had not expected that not only was the name the same, but even the face was almost the same.

Lin You made all sorts of ridiculous expressions, rolled her eyes, and refused to acknowledge anyone.

The only difference was that her long hair had become short hair, and her beauty had become handsomeness.

Her thin brows arched slightly upward, her gaze sharp and bright. Her delicate yet heroic features possessed a beauty that surpassed gender. When she did not speak, she had a lonely, cold, noble air about her. It actually suited her identity quite well.

No wonder she could seduce so many young girls. Her looks were indeed pretty good. Lin You praised herself beautifully in her heart.

“Wait. I remember the setting in the book says Alpha. Then does that mean I also have an extra lump of flesh?” Lin You suddenly thought of something and covered her gray pajama pants with both hands.

The sensation under her hands made her despair. There really was an extra piece of flesh. She asked hopelessly, “Can it be cut off?”

The system, which was still diligently checking information, heard its host’s question. Its brain circuits flashed, then exploded into a firework. Ah, it could do this question.

It opened a spatial crack and poked its head out, blinking cutely. “Of course. According to Earth records, eunuchs are prone to urinary leakage. Can you accept that? Do you need…” The system paused. “I can personally perform the operation for you.”

Hearing the eager tone in the system’s voice, Lin You waved her hand in utter despair. No, she could not accept wearing diapers for life.

She collapsed weakly on the bed.

Seeing that its host was unwilling, the system was even a little disappointed. It was its fault for being unable to share its host’s worries. The system immediately closed the crack and stopped paying attention to Lin You.

Lin You thought about what she should do next in order to keep her life. It was all the author’s fault for not finishing the plot.

Only after seeing the enraged comments below did the author leisurely reveal one sentence: the original body and her dear white moonlight would be thrown away to mine.

Thinking of this, Lin You shuddered. She knew exactly how miserable people who mined in illegal mines could be.

While nothing had happened yet, she absolutely had to hold Fu Xinran in the palm of her hand. If Fu Xinran said east, she would never go west. If Fu Xinran said catch turtles, she would never catch dragons. Preserving her life came first.

Inside the room, Fu Xinran, who was stroking her belly with both hands and growing drowsy, had no idea that her future life was about to undergo earth-shaking changes.

There would be dire straits, heart-pounding anxiety, and all sorts of excitement.

After tossing around in the room for two or three hours, Lin You finally mentally prepared herself.

With the support of the plot and the fragmented original body memories organized by the system, she bravely stepped out of the room.

She imitated the original body’s noble bearing. On the bridge of her nose was a pair of expensive gold-rimmed glasses. She wore a simple, well-fitted white shirt. The original body had always liked buttoning her shirt all the way up to the top button, looking proper and old-fashioned.

But when it came to Lin You, she was not used to buttoning it like that. It was suffocating. She undid two buttons, and beneath it was a racerback tank top she had found in the wardrobe.

Her former long hair was gone. Touching the messy ahoge on her head, Lin You spent an hour finally making it obediently lie down into a nine-one side part. Her bangs slanted to the right, exposing her left ear.

A dazzling sapphire stud earring won Lin You’s favor. She directly wore it on her left ear. Her right ear was slightly covered by her hair, so there was not much difference whether she wore one there or not.

In the dining room, Aunt Gui, who was serving the dishes, froze when she saw the family head dressed so wildly and unruly. This child she had watched grow up since childhood—was she planning to completely give up and smash the pot now?

When the other servants saw Lin You’s novel outfit, they also paused for a second before immediately turning back to their own work.

Aunt Gui had taken care of the original body since she was young. Toward the child she had raised herself, she always understood her very well. Thinking that the family head might still be in conflict with Madam, she sighed inwardly, then stepped forward and earnestly advised her.

“Youyou, Madam hasn’t come downstairs all day today. You should go invite Madam down to eat. She’s in a delicate and weak condition right now. As an Alpha, you should be more tolerant and considerate.”

Lin You looked at Aunt Gui, who had taken care of the original owner since childhood. Her face was kind and amiable, with a slightly plump look. Lin You straightened her body and could only nod seriously. She had just come out of the elevator, and now she turned around and went back into it.

Stay steady. She could not expose herself.

Lin You maintained the original body’s usual cold and noble demeanor and stood upright in the elevator, as if she could see the four words “a teachable child” in Aunt Gui’s eyes.

Ding. The elevator went all the way to the third floor. She took a deep breath. The elevator doors opened, but she was slow to take the next step.

“Host, what are you thinking about? Ahhh, the villainess is already here!!!” The system flashed a big red warning and screamed inside Lin You’s head.

The sudden scream made Lin You sway. Unable to endure the disturbance, she raised her hand and pressed her temple. The timing just happened to be that coincidental.

Fu Xinran happened to be standing at the elevator entrance. When she saw Lin You’s body sway as she held her forehead, it seemed as though seeing Fu Xinran was too heavy a burden for her to bear.

Fu Xinran’s expression turned cold. Frost spread over her beautiful face. The warmth in her heart vanished in an instant, and she stepped into the elevator as if Lin You did not exist.

Lin You only had time to see the big villain BOSS’s long, straight legs step into the elevator. A cold fragrance brushed past the tip of her nose. Lin You gripped the railing firmly and slowly stood straight, not daring to look at Fu Xinran.

The atmosphere was so awkward. It was over. It was over. “System, get out here! Why were you screaming inside my head? Now look, Fu Xinran definitely thinks I despise her again. Ahhh…”

Lin You’s face was expressionless, but in her heart, she was about to sit on the floor and whimper. She hugged herself in grief and helplessness, tears streaming inside.

The system knew it had caused trouble. It flicked its tail over its eyes and did not dare make another sound. It started being silent again.

Lin You was left alone to face the cold ice and snow. The low pressure beside her made her tremble, as if she had stepped into an ice cellar.

Lin You swallowed softly. Staying alive was truly difficult.

They were silent all the way to the dining table. On the large dining table were five dishes and one soup. Only she, Fu Xinran, and Aunt Gui were eating.

When Aunt Gui saw Lin You and Madam walk out of the elevator together, her face filled with smiles. She happily brought the soup in front of Fu Xinran.

“Madam, you must eat more. Even if not for the child, you still need to nourish your own body. Some people aren’t worth getting angry over. Just leave her aside and let her cool down, and she’ll be fine.”

Aunt Gui said this pointedly. Lin You remained silent and pretended not to understand any hidden meaning. Fu Xinran smiled at Aunt Gui, melting the frost all over her body.

“Aunt Gui’s cooking is still the best. This soup is really delicious. You should sit too and drink some more.” Fu Xinran spoke gently and warmly, not at all like the icy woman from before.

Aunt Gui smiled even more happily. She was very satisfied with Madam. She was just like the madam of the house. Unfortunately, that madam had not returned home for many years. Otherwise, Lin You would not have become like this.

Aunt Gui looked at Lin You, who was focused only on eating and drinking, and became even more worried. Her wife was pregnant, yet she did not even know to say a few words or show some care and consideration?

“Youyou, since you happen to have a day off today, take Madam to the hospital for a checkup. The child is only a little over one month old. Whatever needs to be supplemented or paid attention to, you should ask the doctor carefully, all right?”

Aunt Gui coaxed her. Lin You, who was eating with great enjoyment and moving her chopsticks quickly, nearly exposed herself because the food was too delicious. She immediately sat up straight.

If she personally took the villainess to the prenatal checkup, would that reverse even a tiny bit of favorability?

“System, System, hurry up and come out. Is there something like a favorability rating between the female lead and me?”

“Of course there is. Cough, but you can’t see it right now. I’m still updating. You’ll be able to see it in a couple of days,” the system said somewhat guiltily.

Lin You nodded. That was more like it. “At least be somewhat reliable. After all, you’re the system. I’m not the one guiding you.”

Lin You was also very despairing. She felt like her system did not know how to do anything.

The system nodded hurriedly and promised guiltily, “I will definitely guide the system properly and complete the Great Completion ending as soon as possible.”

Lin You nodded indifferently in her heart and did not notice the system’s guilty conscience.

At the dining table, Lin You elegantly picked up a bite with her chopsticks, then slowly nodded. “Okay.”

Her deep, rich female bass voice sounded, and after speaking, even Lin You herself was stunned. Only then did she realize that the original body’s voice was so pleasant to hear.

Fu Xinran looked at her in surprise. Lin You, who had always avoided her like the plague, had actually agreed to take her to the prenatal checkup.

A warm current surged in her heart. This awkward person seemed to have openly promised something related to her for the first time. Did this mean that a certain someone was no longer retreating?
