Li Huanhuan, 26 years old, is just a passerby in a book. She meets the protagonist at a blind date.
Qin Shi is the male protagonist of the book—a genius esports player, super popular, broad...
Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Jade Necklace
Door No. 149.
Qin Shi was wearing a bright blue sweatshirt, grey casual cotton trousers, and a pair of yellow-green sneakers. Just now, Qin Shi knocked on Li Huanhuan's door and made this request to her.
"Attend the wedding?" Li Huanhuan was a little uncertain.
Qin Shi explained that he was attending the wedding of a senior in the alliance. Ever since the fact that they were dating was exposed at Qin Shi’s house last time, everyone in the team now knows that Qin Shi has a girlfriend.
Once the team knew about it, the small circle also knew about it, including Qin Shi’s “peach blossoms”. At the senior’s wedding this time, those “peach blossoms” insisted that Qin Shi bring his girlfriend with him, otherwise they would not believe him. Those in the team who had never seen Li Huanhuan also joined in the fun.
"Anyway, I need a girlfriend to accompany me to the wedding." Qin Shi looked at her.
"But your alliance's predecessors..."
Li Huanhuan looked hesitant.
Qin Shi’s “League of Legends senior” was also a former player in the professional e-sports circle. There will probably be a lot of people from the e-sports circle attending the wedding, so it will be a relatively public occasion. It’s fine to pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend in private, but in a public place like this... doesn’t Qin Shi need to consider the consequences?
Is this considered a "fake official announcement" for him, his company, and his fans?
"What are you hesitating about?" Qin Shi lowered his head and looked at her.
Those deep eyes held emotions that Li Huanhuan could not understand.
Li Huanhuan hesitated for a moment and expressed his concerns.
“It’s not an official announcement.”
Qin Shi shook his head and understood Li Huanhuan's concerns. After all, she is an ordinary person and is not used to being in the spotlight in public. "It was a private wedding. I only invited some friends in the e-sports circle, but not the media."
Qin Shi comforted Li Huanhuan.
He actually doesn't care about the official announcement. If Li Huanhuan is really his girlfriend, he doesn't care how many people know it. He would like everyone in the world to know it. Unfortunately, there is now a word "fake" in front of his "title". Qin Shi didn't want to be too obvious and scare Li Huanhuan away.
At least for now, it's still a little short of being hot.
When Qin Shi said this, Li Huanhuan also hesitated. However, thinking about how Qin Shi had helped her mother so much, even though she was reluctant, she finally nodded in agreement.
"The wedding is in three days. Do you have a dress to wear?" Qin Shi asked her.
There is expectation in the eyes.
"No need to dress too formally, right?" Li Huanhuan asked hesitantly.
"No need." Qin Shi shook his head.
"Then I can prepare it myself." Li Huanhuan nodded, "You just need to tell me what style you will wear that day."
"Okay." Qin Shi made an "OK" gesture.
As a otaku, Li Huanhuan naturally doesn't have much experience in attending weddings. Even if she attended a wedding, she would just go with her mother to attend a relative's wedding, so she didn't need to worry about her clothes.
As for this time, why do we need to bother?
Li Huanhuan could only find one explanation for himself, that is: to repay Qin Shi’s previous help.
"Repay? She should be the most beautiful among all the girls!"
Xiao Jing stood in front of her. After hearing her reason, she strongly disagreed, "You said it yourself, the brother who asked you to 'pretend to be his girlfriend' is very handsome, and there are many people pursuing him. He asked you to pretend to be his girlfriend this time just to get rid of those bad peach blossoms. What's the point if you dress low-key?"
Xiao Jing raised her chin, revealing a look of contempt, "You bunch of nymphomaniacs, stay away from my boyfriend from now on! Remember?"
Xiaojing works at a TV station. She is used to meeting all kinds of "celebrities" and has participated in many formal activities. Because Li Huanhuan lacked relevant experience, he turned to Xiaojing for help.
Xiao Jing is worthy of being her best friend who has known her for more than ten years. She is very loyal. When she heard that Qin Shi was going to accompany her to attend her predecessor's wedding, she immediately skipped work on a weekday and accompanied her shopping for clothes. She was determined to dress her up from head to toe so that she would amaze everyone at the wedding.
"Xiao Jing."
Li Huanhuan covered his face and said awkwardly, "You are exaggerating. I went to attend the wedding, not to mess up the place."
"Of course, no one can steal the bride's limelight, but you also need to dress up carefully." Xiao Jing shook her head and said, "At least, you can't let our brother's friends say that you are not worthy of him!"
Li Huanhuan looked embarrassed.
"Okay, go try this skirt on." Li Huanhuan said, stuffing a lavender skirt into her arms, "Go quickly!"
Seeing that she didn't move, he reached out and pushed her again.
Considering that Xiaojing skipped work to help her choose clothes, Li Huanhuan finally went into the fitting room. The skirt is a lavender halter dress made of silk. It is tailored to fit closely and perfectly outlines Li Huanhuan's curves, making this "salted fish" look more charming.
Li Huanhuan covered his chest, looked at the person in the mirror, turned his head awkwardly, and looked at Xiao Jing: "No."
Xiao Jing stroked her chin and looked her over from head to toe: "Indeed, she is too low-key."
Li Huanhuan: “???”
“Try this one again!”
Without waiting for her to refuse, Xiaojing stuffed another light yellow skirt into her arms.
"She's too petite and can't really highlight your temperament."
“…”
"This one is too cold and arrogant, and it keeps a distance from people."
“…”
"This one is too grand, as if you are being very deliberate."
“…”
…
"Wow! This one is perfect!"
In the end, Xiaojing picked out a suitable skirt for Li Huanhuan.
"Is it really possible?" Li Huanhuan looked at himself in the mirror, somewhat uncertain.
"certainly!"
Xiao Jing grabbed her shoulders and asked her to look at the person in the mirror. "Look at how beautiful you are. I promise that our brother will be completely fascinated by you."
"What's upside down?"
Li Huanhuan froze, "Then I'd better go change it!"
"no--"
Xiao Jing stopped her, "Li Huanhuan, you absolutely cannot do that!"
Finally, I chose this skirt. Then, Xiaojing helped her choose matching shoes, bags, accessories, and hairstyle.
"You'll want this hairstyle on your wedding day, okay? I've already made an appointment with a stylist for you." Coming out of the styling studio, Xiao Jing looked at her new hairstyle with satisfaction.
"Yes, I understand."
Li Huanhuan clicked on the text message and said, "It's just that my bank card can't handle it!"
Today's shopping cost her a lot of savings.
"Only if you are willing to sacrifice your child can you catch the wolf. Only if you are willing to sacrifice your savings can you catch your brother who is 1.87 meters tall, has long legs and eight-pack abs." Xiao Jing patted her shoulder and said seriously.
Li Huanhuan was embarrassed and wanted to say something.
At this moment, a flash of gold appeared in her sight. As his eyes followed the movement, Li Huanhuan saw a face as beautiful and soothing as an angel.
"Canyang?"
Li Huanhuan saw Zhang Canyang in the crowd.
At this moment, Zhang Canyang was shopping with a girl. It was the beautiful sister who was with Zhang Canyang in the video game arcade last time.
"What are you looking at?"
Xiao Jing followed Li Huanhuan's line of sight and looked forward. Soon, she saw Zhang Canyang in the crowd. She looked puzzled, "Huh? Why is it that child?"
"Have you seen him?" Li Huanhuan turned his head and asked.
“Yes.”
Xiao Jing frowned slightly and said, "Two weeks ago, I went to the hotel to deliver something to a senior in the station, and saw this handsome guy sitting next to him. It seemed that he was brought out by the elder to accompany him for drinks."
"Accompany, drink with me?" Li Huanhuan was stunned.
"She was attending a drinking party. I guess she wanted the resources from the station. There are many such things." Xiao Jing said, "Because of that blond hair, it was really impressive, so I remember it."
At this point, she paused, "Why, is it someone you know?"
"Ah? Oh, yes." Li Huanhuan nodded.
Xiao Jing raised her eyebrows and looked her up and down: "Huanhuan, I didn't expect that a [deadhead] like you would know so many handsome guys. Let's not talk about the others for now, at least this blond guy is really handsome, and that pretty boy is very nice."
"Xiao Jing, don't say that. He is an e-sports player, maybe it's just a business activity of their club." Li Huanhuan didn't want Xiao Jing to say that about Zhang Canyang.
At least, without evidence.
Xiao Jing chuckled, "Okay, I won't say anything more, because he's so handsome. Eh? Why is he gone?"
Li Huanhuan turned around and found that Zhang Canyang in the crowd was indeed gone.
"Let's go and eat. I'm hungry. I helped you today, so you have to treat me." Xiao Jing said.
"Of course, no problem." Li Huanhuan.
After having dinner with Xiaojing, Li Huanhuan took the bus back to the community with the things he bought today. Ding Dong, as soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw Qin Shi wearing a black coat, leaning against the wall at the door of her house, holding a barbecue in his hand, as if he had been waiting for a while.
"Li Huanhuan, you're back." Qin Shi's eyes immediately lit up when he saw Li Huanhuan.
"Woof woof!" BBQ also stood up from the ground and wagged his tail at Li Huanhuan.
"Are you waiting for me?" Li Huanhuan looked at him.
"This is for you."
Qin Shi handed the bag in his hand to her.
"What is this?" Li Huanhuan took it.
Qin Shi looked at the ceiling, looking a little embarrassed: "Necklace."
"Hmm?" Li Huanhuan.
Seeing that she didn't understand, Qin Shi looked back, pursed his lips, and explained: "Didn't I ask you to accompany me to the wedding? I thought it would be impossible for you to pay for the jewelry, so I bought you one."
"Ah? I can't accept it!" Li Huanhuan shook his head quickly.
Jewelry is too expensive.
Qin Shi looked a little unhappy: "Then consider it as a loan from you. You can return it to me after the wedding."
Li Huanhuan looked at him.
He also looked at Li Huanhuan.
"Woof!" BBQ called out from the side.
Li also imagined that the jewelry she wore on the wedding day would indeed affect Qin Shi's face, so she reluctantly nodded and accepted it: "I will keep it properly."
"what ever."
Qin Shi didn't care, "Are you going home? Then I'm going to walk the dog."
"Yeah." Li Huanhuan nodded.
“Woof woof!”
"See you at the barbecue."
"Woof~"
…
Qin Shi walked into the elevator holding the barbecue.
After the elevator closed, Li Huanhuan returned to the house carrying the bag. As usual, I would first say hello to His Majesty the Cat, and then check if His Majesty the Cat has finished drinking the water. Check the cat's bowl, open a can of food for the cat who is trying to turn over and act cute, then wash your hands and face...
When everything was done, Li fantasized about the bag on the sofa in the living room.
She opened the bag, hung up her clothes and put away her shoes first, then thought of the necklace Qin Shi gave her, took the necklace box back to the bedroom, sat cross-legged on the bed and opened it. On the black satin lay a rich, transparent emerald necklace.
"Huh?" Li Huanhuan picked up the jade necklace and exclaimed, "What a beautiful necklace."
However, as a otaku who doesn't like dressing up, doesn't like jewelry, and has little knowledge, Li Huanhuan naturally couldn't recognize the value of this jade necklace. She just thought that the jade necklace in her hand was extremely beautiful and valuable, and should not be cheap. To be on the safe side, she took a photo of her best friend Xiaojing.
As soon as the photo was sent, Xiaojing called.
"Li Huanhuan, have you made a fortune?" Xiao Jing said excitedly.
"Ah? What?" Li Huanhuan asked in confusion.
"It's the jade necklace you just sent! If you didn't lie and I didn't see it wrong, then this necklace is worth at least eight figures." Xiao Jing said excitedly.
"What, what, eight, eight digits?" Li Huanhuan's hand holding the jade necklace trembled.
