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 40 Chapter 40 "Ostrich" half a month later.
Qin Shi was left behind.
Zhang Canyang smiled at him and chased after Li Huanhuan.
"Qin Shi? Are you and Sister Huan Huan?" Hu Xun and Zhou Jianyu came to Qin Shi and looked at him worriedly.
Qin Shi clenched his fists, looked in the direction where Li Huanhuan left, his jaw tense, and said nothing.
Zhang Canyang caught up with Li Huanhuan at the hotel entrance.
"Sister? Sister, why are you walking so fast? Wait for me." Zhang Canyang grabbed her shoulders.
"Sorry, Canyang, I'm not in the mood right now."
Li Huanhuan raised his hand, wiped his face roughly, and spoke with a choked voice.
"Sister? Are you crying?"
Zhang Canyang turned her around and looked into her eyes in confusion. "Sister, are you sad? Is it because of Qin Shi? Are you sad for Qin Shi?"
"No, it has nothing to do with Qin Shi, or anyone else. I didn't cry, I, I just had sand in my eyes." Li Huanhuan shook his head quickly, denying that he was crying.
However, her eyes were red, her face was wet with tears, and she couldn't even convince herself.
"Well, sister..."
"Canyang, sorry, can you leave me alone?"
Li Huanhuan interrupted him and pleaded sadly, "I want to be alone now. Please."
Zhang Canyang raised his hand calmly and wiped away the tears from her eyes. In those clear and beautiful eyes, there was an emotion that Li Huanhuan could not understand: "If this is your sister's request."
Li Huanhuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I beg you."
Zhang Canyang stared at her embarrassed face for a while, then retracted his hand and took a step back: "Okay then. After all, sister begged me. But sister, don't be too sad, especially because of Qin Shi's sadness. Otherwise, I will be very sad when I think of sister crying for Qin Shi."
Zhang Canyang covered his heart with his hands and made a heartbroken expression.
Li Huanhuan was shocked by his reaction, but he just paused for a moment and nodded.
"Then go back, sister. Goodbye, sister." Zhang Canyang helped her stop a taxi on the side of the road, then stood outside the car window and waved to her.
"Goodbye." Li Huanhuan raised his hand.
After the car drove away, Li Huanhuan's tears started flowing again. But this time, it was not as turbulent as before. After flowing for a few minutes, it was dried up by the wind coming in from the window.
She stared out the window in a daze.
Everything that happened today, or rather, everything that happened during this period of time, is not something that a passerby like her should be involved in. As a [dead otaku], a [dead otaku] who doesn't like to dress up, wears casual clothes, and does everything casually, for me, going to a styling shop to get a styling like today, putting on this kind of makeup, wearing a cheongsam that I would never wear normally and is very tight, and high heels that I would never touch...
In this way, a lazy salted fish is carefully packaged as a salted fish wearing high heels and dancing at the prince's banquet. It goes to public occasions like today, pretending to be an exquisite vase, pretending to be a pendant beside the prince, and dealing with people who are not familiar to it at all and have never seen before.
All of this, all of it, required tremendous courage for Li Huanhuan.
Do things you are not good at, go to situations that are not suitable for you, and deal with people who make you uncomfortable. Perhaps, those people in the garden, as well as Hu Xun and Zhou Jianyu, were right, she was just bringing shame upon herself.
Just because of Qin Shi's request, she lost her mind and forgot that these things were not something she was good at at all. She forgot that she and Qin Shi, and Qin Shi's social circle, were completely two different worlds.
"Have I been possessed by another spirit?" Li Huanhuan murmured.
It was such an unwise decision.
It's like a clown on the street who is suddenly cast a spell, temporarily bewitched and forgets his own identity. He runs onto the stage and stands with the protagonist, thinking that he has become the protagonist too. Unexpectedly, a few words from the audience woke her up. After waking up, looking at the shocked protagonist and the shocked audience, I realized how ridiculous my behavior was.
Gradually, Li Huanhuan fell into a mood of self-loathing, and his whole body was enveloped in a state of low pressure.
"Little girl, are you heartbroken?" At this time, the driver sitting in the front spoke.
"ah?"
Li Huanhuan came back to his senses, his voice still a little dull, "No, I just suddenly realized that I seemed to have done something stupid, and I'm regretting it."
"It's just a stupid thing? Who hasn't done a few stupid things when they were young? Think about it and it will pass." said the driver.
Think about it, will it be over?
The dark cloud that had been hanging over Li Huanhuan gradually faded away: "Yes, you are right. Indeed, there is nothing more important than life and death."
Her mother had survived the "life and death crisis", so what else did she have to be afraid of?
In addition to being lazy and indolent, Li Huanhuan's personality also has a bit of an ostrich quality. When encountering problems, I like to bury my brain in the sand and ignore it.
Before she realized what she was thinking deep in her heart, the wildly growing flame of affection was extinguished. Her first attempt to step into the Qin world failed, so she buried her head in the gravel like an ostrich. Her courage was gone, and she no longer looked out, trying to cover her ears and steal the bell, hiding herself.
She didn't even look for Qin Shi, but contacted Qin Shi's cousin Dongfang Jiao, and asked Dongfang Jiao to return the jade necklace to Qin Shi.
Dongfang Jiao didn't know why, but when she saw the necklace, she sighed in surprise: "This necklace is actually in my sister's hand?"
"Huh? You also know about this necklace?" Li Huanhuan asked with a puzzled look.
Dongfang Jiao told Li Huanhuan the origin of the necklace.
Some time ago, Qin Shi suddenly asked her mother, who was also Qin Shi's aunt, to help him choose a jade necklace. The price of the necklace gave an astonishing figure. Later, Dongfang Jiao's mother helped Qin Shi buy the necklace at an auction for an eight-digit price.
When Dongfang Jiao's mother told her about this, she was still wondering why her cousin, who was a fine person, would think of bidding for a necklace. Unexpectedly, it finally fell into Li Huanhuan's hands.
"Eight digits?" Li Huanhuan whispered.
It turns out that this necklace is not a replica.
But at this moment, she was not in the mood to worry about these things. It was precisely because the necklace was genuine that she was even less worthy of it.
"Sister Huan, why don't you go find my cousin and return the necklace yourself?" Dongfang Jiao asked curiously.
"Oh, I'm going on a trip with my friends soon. It will take many days and I don't have enough time. I have to ask you for help." Li Huanhuan made up an excuse.
Then she bought enough vegetables and food to last for half a month and stored them in the refrigerator at home. She blocked all contact information of Qin Shi and anyone related to Qin Shi and started her life of staying at home.
At first, Qin Shi also tried to find her.
Whether it was knocking on the door or changing the phone to contact, Li Huanhuan gritted his teeth and refused to give in. Later, because he had to go to another province to participate in a competition, Qin Shi had no choice but to give up.
Li Huanhuan stayed at home for almost half a month. Every day, he either sat in front of the computer to make videos, or ate, slept, and petted cats. He forgot all about the protagonist, the villain, the plot, and so on. In the past half month, I haven't left the house. Even when taking out the garbage, I pretended to find a "cat feeding service at home" on the Internet, pretended not to be at home, and asked someone to help feed the cat and, for an additional fee, help take out the garbage.
Door 150 is equipped with an electronic door lock with a camera.
Thanks to her caution, the cat feeder who came to feed the cat happened to meet Qin Shi. Because of her caution, she was able to deceive the other party in the end.
Half a month later.
One day, Li Huanhuan received a call from the laundry shop.
Li Huanhuan then remembered that she had fallen into the water at the wedding hotel before, and finally came back wearing Zhang Canyang's suit jacket. After returning, she took the wet suit to the laundry. The owner of the laundry shop had already ironed the suit. Seeing that she hadn't gone to pick it up, I called her.
"Sorry, I'll get it this afternoon." Li Huanhuan said quickly.
After hanging up the phone, she took out her cell phone and found Zhang Canyang on WeChat. After the incident half a month ago, she cut off contact with Qin Shi and also isolated herself from Zhang Canyang.
It can be said that apart from necessary contacts such as her mother and best friend Xiaojing, she has basically had no other communication in the past half month. During this period, Zhang Canyang sent her two messages, one asking about her situation and the other asking if she had time. Li Huanhuan did not reply to either of the two messages.
Li Huanhuan reopened WeChat and hesitated for a moment, then asked the other party on WeChat when he was free. She wanted to return his pressed suit?
I thought Zhang Canyang was practicing, but as soon as I sent the message, she replied: "Sister, I'm free this afternoon~"
Li Huanhuan made an appointment with Zhang Canyang.
This was the first time she had gone out in half a month. The first step when opening the door, I always feel a little uneasy, as if I have been disconnected from the world and reconnected to the Internet, and I feel unfamiliar with the things around me.
At the same time, this was the first time she faced the door of No. 150 in such a long time.
She was worried that Qin Shi would be outside the door as soon as she opened it. Although she had adjusted her mood over the past half month, she still didn't want to face Qin Shi so soon.
"Meow?"
Seeing her standing at the door, His Highness the Cat hesitated to move forward. He squatted behind her, tilted his head, and looked at her in confusion.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious." Li Huanhuan turned around and smiled at it awkwardly.
Then, he took a deep breath, raised his hand, grabbed the door handle, and opened the door.
Outside the door...
It was empty, there was no Qin Shi, and no Husky suddenly appeared. Li Huanhuan breathed a sigh of relief, but a strange feeling arose in his heart again.
She quickly pushed the feeling out of her mind, pulled up the mask hanging on her chin, and hurried into the elevator.
Li Huanhuan and Zhang Canyang met at an amusement park.
The time has come, but Zhang Canyang has not arrived yet. Li Huanhuan was holding the ironed suit, worried that it would happen again like before, so he took out his cell phone and called Zhang Canyang. This time, Zhang Canyang picked up the phone quickly and said he would be there soon. Li fantasized for a while and went to the ice cream shop in front to buy two bottles of water.
When she came back, she found Zhang Canyang had already arrived.
However, Zhang Canyang was not alone, there were two young girls in front of him. The two little girls seemed to know Zhang Canyang. They came to the amusement park and happened to meet him, so they came over to talk to him.
Having had the previous experience in the hotel, Li Huanhuan was not going to show up and would wait until they finished talking before going over.
But who would have thought that at this moment, he would hear the other party say:
"Fox? You don't know us? Sister Jing didn't mention us? But, half a month ago at the hotel, it was clearly Sister Jing who asked us to... Now Star has found out it was us and wants to cause trouble for us..."
