The Ideal Mary Sue

Chapter 3: English Homework

“You’ve done this English question before, grammar and words haven’t changed! How to fill in randomly now?” Su Wen used a pen to outline the English question, her eyes staring straight at Jing Jing under her lenses.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Su, I don’t want to study anymore.” She said, dodging Su Wen’s eyes.

“What?!” Su Wen frowned deeply, “Do you know what you’re saying?”

“I know…” Jing Jing bowed her head, “I want to learn dance.”

“Did ‘Mingxu’ ask you to do it again?”

“No…. "Jing Jing seems to treat Su Wen as the only person she can talk to, "He…recently…he often goes to the dance class to find someone…”

“Is he looking for you?”

Her eyes dim and she shakes her head, “He’s looking for a girl…”

“Jing Jing, what do you want teacher to say?” Su Wen sighed, “This 'Mingxu’ certainly doesn’t like you. Can’t you accept it and study well?”

“… Mingxu, he just…Just likes a girl who can dance…” Jing Jing lowered her head, her voice low, but loud enough for Su Wen to hear, “…He didn’t say…Didn’t say he didn’t like me…”

…

Don’t see the coffin don’t shed tears ah!

Su Wen is lying on her big bed, hot and angry, she can’t sleep at all. What? Turn on the air conditioner? Sorry, no money, this month’s electricity bill paid 300, can’t afford air conditioning!!!

Su Wen sighed, this kind of life, when will it end ah!

【555: …Didi…Successfully bind the Mary Sue system……555 will serve you wholeheartedly…】

【555：555 is an item collecting system that binds the host and is dedicated to enriching the system supermarket and providing quality service to every tasker who comes to exchange items…】

“Shit, you guys are still not finished playing, one will be 666, one will be 888, and now comes a 555, I said, I don’t agree, I don’t want…”

【555: 555 can provide you with 360-degree natural cooling breeze to disperse the heat and bring you…】

“Stop, stop, stop…” Su Wen said breathlessly, “It’s useless to tempt me anymore, I’m not willing to give up my freedom and give you free labor.”

Just thinking that once she agrees, this ghost will be bound to her soul forever, Su Wen will be awakened from her dreams…

【555: Host, you have to think clearly, this is an opportunity to collect all kinds of things in any world that exists only in legends. Are you sure you want to decline?】

Su Wen smiled dryly: “I don’t have that idle time.”

【555: …The points you earn when you complete a task can also be used to redeem anything, money, jewelry, food…】

Su Wen stretched out a finger and pointed at herself: “Do I look like someone who lacks these things?”

【555：Like! 】

Su Wen: “Well, although I love money and food, and now it does look a little bitter, but these are temporary, I am working hard to make money! As long as I work a little harder, I’ll get three times my salary! Haha, when the time comes where should I eat first?”

【555: You work so hard to gain so little. As long as you bind me, you can redeem things in the system store. The system store is the least short of money and food…】

Su Wen rolled over boredly, kicked off the quilt, turned on her phone to check the time, rubbed her eyes and said, “Don’t waste your breath. I can just hook up with a president ah, or a rich man or something. Would I still need to worry about food and clothing?”

【555: But according to the system’s investigation, you haven’t dated any of your boyfriends for over three months now…】

Su Wen: “Hey, hey, that’s not my fault, originally talk about love, hold hands, send gifts is very good, but there must be all kinds of proposals, marriage, one life and one couple, I don’t want to lose my freedom, be a married woman!”

Su Wen yawned and closed her eyes, “…It’s late, you should go to bed early, if you want to leave go ahead, don’t disturb me…”

【555: … 】

…

“Hey, it’s not a good idea for you to wait here everyday!” Qi Xuan stretched out in a lazy manner, sleepy-eyed “This is a bar, which bar opens every morning at seven o'clock!”

Shen Mingxu ignored him, sitting on the sofa and looking outside.

“You’re going to turn into a *husband rock!” Qi Xuan collapsed on the sofa and covered his head with a pillow, “Forget it, you go on, I’ll make up my sleep.”

Qi Xuan had just fallen asleep when he heard the crisp cracking sound of a glass falling on the floor, and lifted his pillow only to see the back of Shen Mingxu running out in a hurry.

…

Su Ning was holding her little cake, counting the countdown to the traffic lights, just as she was about to cross the crosswalk…

“Su Ning!”

Before she could look back to see who was calling her, her hand was pulled, tightly.

“Eh?” Su Ning saw that it was Shen Mingxu, so she smiled and said, “It’s you, what a coincidence ah, but… Can you let go of your hand? You’re holding too tightly, it hurts a little…”

“Why haven’t you come to see me these days!” Instead, Shen Mingxu squeezes more tightly and angrily says: “I wait for you at the bar everyday!”

“…You let go first, I didn’t know…” Then Su Ning looked bewildered, “Why do you wait for me?”

Shen Mingxu is silent for a moment, then stammers, “You…Didn’t you ask me to buy you cake?”

“…Have I?” Su Ning thought about it, although I can’t recall asking him but, “I guess I forgot, otherwise you wouldn’t be so angry…”

“Come with me.”

“Where are we going?”

…

There is a row of cakes on the bar, all kinds of cakes.

“…So much.”

“I told you, they sell cakes here, and the cakes here are much better than the cakes in the bakery next door, try one if you don’t believe me?”

“But…But I don’t have enough money…”

“It’s okay!” Shen Mingxu looked at her straightforwardly, and said: “I invite you to eat, as long as you come everyday, I will treat you everyday.”

Su Ning shook her head hurriedly, “No, no, I can only eat once a week, also, it’s not good for you to treat me, I… Today, I can buy, I won’t trouble you later, you don’t have to buy it for me…”

“Why!” Shen Mingxu’s face became downcast, “You obviously like cake, or do you mean, you don’t like the cake I bought?”

“No, no, you think too much!” I don’t know why Shen Mingxu is so scary today, Su Ning is a bit overwhelmed and doesn’t know what to say, she can only repeat, “Don’t be angry…”

“Okay, I’m not angry!” Shen Mingxu reached for her hand and said, “As long as you promise me one thing, I won’t be angry.”

“Ok, fine.”

“Be my girlfriend!”

“En…Ehh?” Su Ning hurriedly shakes her head, “No, no.”

“Why not!” Shen Mingxu is obviously a little grumpy, “Do you hate me?”

“No…”

“If you don’t hate me, then you like me!” Shen Mingxu held her wrist tightly and said, “Since you like me, be my girlfriend…”

“Let go of your hand first…” Su Ning wants to cry. Why did he grab her hand again, and so hard, when she leaves later, there will be bruises.

“If you don’t promise me, I won’t let go!”

“…You can’t be such a scoundrel!” Su Ning said: “We’ve only met twice, you want me to be your girlfriend, you must be a very frivolous person, I don’t want to be your girlfriend!”

“I’m not frivolous at all!” Shen Mingxu anxiously defended himself: “The first time I saw you I fell in love, these days I think about you everyday, so much that I can’t sleep at night. I like you so much, so much that I want you to be my girlfriend, how can you say I’m frivolous?” The last few words, he nearly shouted them out.

In the end, contact with fewer people, have not seen such a straightforward confession, Su Ning froze first, and then blushed, stammering: “You…You’re…”

“So promise me…” Shen Mingxu saw that his words had some effect, and continued to make persistent efforts: “As my girlfriend, I will buy you the things you like everyday, cakes, clothes, cosmetics, jewelry. Whatever you want I will buy you, you don’t have to do anything, just stay by my side…”

“…Then, can you tutor me in my English homework?”

“???” This question is a bit strange, Shen Mingxu can’t care so much, directly nodded: “No problem!”

“…Then, alright…”

Notes:

*Husband rock: Referring to the Amah Rock (Chinese: 望夫石,Mong Fu Shek, lit. “the stone gazing out for her husband”) is a naturally shaped rock located on a hilltop in southwest Sha Tin District, Hong Kong.

According to legend, the faithful wife of a fisherman climbed the hills every day, carrying her son, to watch for the return of her husband, not knowing he had been drowned at sea. In reward for her faithfulness she was turned into a rock by the Goddess of the Sea so that her spirit could unite with that of her husband.[1] Similar legends abound throughout the whole of China—the number of rocks called Mong Fu Shek in the country is high. Many Chinese classical poems were dedicated to this kind of rock. -Via wikipedia
