A new life

"Big brother, big brother! Wake up! Wake up!"

As soon as the light disappeared, that was the first thing that I heard once I was hit with the darkness.

I slowly opened my eyes to find a cute looking face above me.

This was the face of a girl who seemed to be around thirteen years old.

With her wide clear eyes, her fair skin, and her brown short hair, she really was a cut little girl.

The only problem was…she was covered in dirt.

Seeing that I opened my eyes, the little girl suddenly jumped onto me as she said while crying, "Big brother! You're finally awake! You were so cold and you didn't move at all, Li Zi thought that you were dead!"

I was in a daze for a moment since I was still getting used to this body, but then I reached out to pat this little girl on the head before saying, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I would never leave our Xiao Li Zi alone."

The little girl didn't say anything, but I could feel the trembling that was coming from her.

She really had been scared just now…

But then again, the original owner of this body had died, so it wasn't as if she was wrong for being scared…

As I stared at this little girl, the memories of her slowly surfaced in my mind.

The little sister of the original owner of this body, Lin Li Zi.

Though her original name wasn't that since she and the original owner weren't related.

Her original name was just Li Zi until she received the original owner's surname.

As for why she didn't have a surname, that was because she was an orphan.

Both the original owner and Lin Li Zi were orphans, so they weren't even blood related.

It was that in the past, the original owner had saved Lin Li Zi when she was in trouble and she had followed the original owner since then. Over time, they decided to become brother and sister, which was what led to the current situation.

As for what she had said…that was related to how the original owner died.

There was an unusual cold snap for this time of year and that was what had frozen the original owner to death.

Even in his final moments, he gave the few blankets that they had to his little sister.

It was a true display of sibling love.

As he died, one of the only regrets that the original owner had was about leaving his little sister alone in this world…

"Don't worry, I will take care of her for you. She won't suffer even in the slightest with me here." I couldn't help making this promise in my mind.

This was the least that I could do for the original host.

"Big brother, what's wrong?" Lin Li Zi suddenly asked, snapping me out of my daze.

When I came out of my thoughts, I saw that she was right there in front of me.

She had seen the look on my face, so she knew that I was thinking about something.

Seeing the cute look on her face, I couldn't help revealing a smile and patting her on the head before saying, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about some things."

As soon as his voice fell, there was a gurgling sound that rang out before a blush appeared on Lin Li Zi's face.

I couldn't stop the smile on my face from growing wider when I saw this before saying, "Alright, now that we're both up, let's have some breakfast."

When she heard this, Lin Li Zi revealed an awkward look before slowly saying, "Big brother, I just checked earlier and the last mantous that we had are rotten…We can't eat them anymore…"

I slightly knitted my brows when I heard this.

When she saw this, Lin Li Zi quickly said, "Big brother, it doesn't matter, we can just have some water before we head to work. I'm perfectly fine with just having some water."

I shook my head when I saw her like this before patting her on the head and saying, "Silly little girl, you don't have to worry about these things. You should just leave these things to your big brother."

Lin Li Zi was caught off guard by this, but then she lowered her head and gave a slight nod.

I patted her head again before saying, "Alright, go and wash up. We'll go get some breakfast in town."

Lin Li Zi looked back up at me with a shocked look before saying, "How? Big brother, we don't have any money left."

With a smile, I said, "You just leave these things to your big brother. All you have to do is eat when the time comes."

Lin Li Zi still had an uncertain look on her face, but she gave a slight nod and turned to wash up.

During this time, I opened up my system interface to see what this system was all about.

It was called the Super Prodigal System, so if it didn't give me money to waste, how could I be known as a prodigal?

Though if I thought about it, spending money on this new cute little sister of mine couldn't really be considered wasting money, could it?

I would have to get creative if I wanted to waste money like a proper prodigal.

But who am I?

The super prodigal of the capital, Lin Fan!

My motto in life was 'My parents are skilled at making money, but not spending money. As their son, I naturally have a duty to help them spend their money'!

I didn't shy from wasting money!

Seeing the funds that the system had prepared, I couldn't help revealing a wide smile.

When Lin Li Zi came back, I was surprised to see just how cute she was, though the clothes that she wore were still a bit tattered. We would have to fix that later when we headed into town.

I just took her hand and headed off as I said, "Let's go, it's time to get some breakfast."

Lin Li Zi just gave a simple nod, but there was no hiding the worried look in her eyes.
