After Transmigrating Into a Book, I Was Forced to Play the Role of a Scumbag Alpha (GL) - Chapter 18

Chapter 18

“Little Jin, eat more carrots. They’re nutritious. You’re only nineteen this year, so you might still grow taller.” Shen Hanzhi kept her tone as gentle as possible, but she didn’t hear the system’s voice after speaking.

The little girl heard Shen Hanzhi’s words and said, “Oh.” She reluctantly ate a piece of carrot, her small face wrinkling. It was clear she really didn’t like it.

At that moment, the system’s voice sounded in Shen Hanzhi’s mind. “Darling, such a gentle tone doesn’t count.”

“Got it.” Shen Hanzhi replied to the system with some impatience.

She took a deep breath and made her voice cold and stern. “I told you to eat more carrots. Why are you so disobedient?”

Shen Hanzhi’s brows furrowed slightly, and her tone was much harsher than before. Moments later, the system’s mechanical voice chimed in her mind. “Congratulations, darling, you earned 1 Scum Alpha point. Today’s task is complete. Keep up the good work.”

Shen Hanzhi completely ignored the system and quickly looked at the little girl.

She saw the little girl sniffle, her eyes turning red.

Wen Jin mechanically scooped the disliked carrots into her mouth bit by bit. She was indeed too delicate, making Sister dislike her. It was only the second day, and she already made Sister unhappy over eating.

Compared to the bad-tasting carrots, the little girl cared more about Shen Hanzhi’s attitude toward her. Thinking that Shen Hanzhi didn’t like her anymore, her tears fell like broken beads, dropping steadily. She didn’t want Shen Hanzhi to notice, so she ate with her head lowered deeper and deeper, almost burying it in the bowl.

Shen Hanzhi quickly stood up, walked behind the little girl, and pulled her into her arms. She tossed the little girl’s spoon onto the table and coaxed softly, “I’m sorry. My tone was too harsh just now. Don’t be mad at me, okay?”

The little girl sniffled, crying even more aggrievedly.

Seeing the little girl cry so pitifully, Shen Hanzhi knew about her past environment and her lack of security. Though her words didn’t seem heavy, Wen Jin, having grown up in such a sensitive environment, was surely hurt by them.

Seeing that coaxing wasn’t working, Shen Hanzhi quickly lifted the little girl, placing her face-to-face on her lap. She gently patted the little girl’s back and coaxed softly, “I was wrong. Will you forgive me, Little Jin? Don’t cry, or you’ll turn into a little flower rabbit again.”

The little girl sobbed pitifully, her small face pressed against Shen Hanzhi. Her eyes watched Shen Hanzhi’s expression, fearing she’d see any trace of disgust.

She nervously clutched the clothes at Shen Hanzhi’s shoulders, murmuring, “Sister, my wife, I’ll be good. Don’t be mad at me. Don’t abandon me. I’ll eat carrots obediently from now on. Don’t be angry.”

The little girl sobbed so much that Shen Hanzhi’s heart ached terribly. She silently cursed the damned system eight hundred times.

She quickly hugged the little girl tightly and coaxed softly, “It’s my fault, not yours. If you don’t like carrots, we’ll eat less or none at all. Don’t cry. If you keep crying, I’ll cry with you.”

“My wife, don’t abandon me. I don’t have a home anymore. Rose Manor isn’t my home. I don’t like it there.” The little girl sobbed and clung to Shen Hanzhi’s neck, pleading.

“How could you not have a home? I’ve told you this is your home. Didn’t you just call me your wife? I won’t abandon you or drive you away. My little rabbit is the best. How could I bear to? Let’s stop crying, okay?” Shen Hanzhi coaxed while stroking the little girl’s back to calm her.

“It’s all my fault. My tone was too harsh. I’m sorry. Don’t be mad, okay?” Seeing the little white rabbit cry like this, Shen Hanzhi quickly apologized. The system forced her, and an improper tone wouldn’t earn Scum Alpha points.

The little girl cried in Shen Hanzhi’s arms for a while. Seeing Shen Hanzhi kept comforting her without any disgust in her eyes, she finally relaxed a bit. Her arms tightened around Shen Hanzhi’s neck.

Seeing the little girl stop crying, Shen Hanzhi relaxed slightly. She gently stroked the little girl’s back and asked softly, “Are you full? Want to eat more?”

The little girl sniffled, looked at Shen Hanzhi, and shook her head.

“Okay, let’s not eat then. I’ll carry you back to your room and teach you to use the phone.” Shen Hanzhi supported the little girl’s waist, letting her stand first, then carried her horizontally in her arms and walked upstairs slowly.

“Sister, I can walk myself.” Wen Jin sniffled and looked at Shen Hanzhi.

Shen Hanzhi, feeling guilty for scolding the little girl under the system’s pressure, couldn’t bear to let her walk. She quickly said, “No need. I’ll carry you. When we get to your room, take a bath and change into your nightgown. You don’t need to wear the bra inside since you’ll sleep soon. It’ll be uncomfortable.”

Wen Jin’s ear tips turned red. Her face, which had just calmed, flushed again, and she buried it in Shen Hanzhi’s arms.

Knowing the little girl was shy, Shen Hanzhi didn’t say more. She quickly carried her back to her room and asked softly, “Do you still remember how to use the bath stuff?”

The little girl nodded, her wet eyes looking at Shen Hanzhi.

Shen Hanzhi, unable to move her legs under that gaze, gently rubbed the top of the little girl’s head and said softly, “I’ll go take a bath too and come back to keep you company, okay?”

The little girl nodded but then asked uneasily, “Sister, do you think I’m troublesome?”

Shen Hanzhi poked the little girl’s dimple and quickly denied, “How could I? Haven’t you heard of newlywed bliss? I just want to stay with my Little Jin.”

The little girl, poked in her dimple, felt her heart sweeten, happier than when she ate delicious candy. She loved Sister being close to her.

“Alright, I’ll be back soon.” Taking advantage of the little girl’s stable mood, Shen Hanzhi quickly went to her room to wash. After shopping all afternoon, she was sweaty.

Shen Hanzhi only washed her hair and rinsed quickly, so she was much faster than the little girl. When she returned to the little girl’s room, the little girl was still bathing.

About twenty minutes later, the little girl changed into a little white rabbit nightgown, specially picked out. The shop had sent it that afternoon, and the two aunts had already washed and dried it.

Thinking Sister liked calling her little rabbit, the little girl chose this nightgown so Sister would like her more. She changed into it, her eyes sparkling with the thought.
