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 52 Chapter 52 Her heart seemed to be hit by something...
Qin Shi's words left Li Huanhuan stunned.
After a few seconds, she asked tentatively: "Do you know something?"
Qin Shi sat on a bright blue gaming chair, the blue color made his skin look even whiter, with a big smile on his face: "Sister, what should I know?"
Those eyes were bright and smiling.
In an instant, Li Huanhuan understood. She frowned slightly, but soon felt relieved, raised her head, and said straight to the point: "You already know that I am [Cat Prince]."
Qin Shi snorted.
"When did you know that?"
She asked, "Did Jiao Jiao tell you? Oh, that's not right."
Before Qin Shi could speak, she denied it again, "Jiao Jiao is a trustworthy person. She promised me that she would not tell you about this, so she definitely won't tell you. How did you know?"
Faintly, she had a bad feeling in her heart.
Qin Shi looked at her across the table. He opened his lips and uttered three words: "Fantasia."
"Sure enough." Li Huanhuan covered his face in pain, the breath of social death was overwhelming.
Qin Shi looked at her with a smile.
Previously, Qin Shi saw everyone talking about "Fantasia" in the comment section of "Your Highness the Cat". Because I had to go on a business trip at that time, I thought I could watch it while I was away, so I collected the account "Fantasia". In the end, I had so many competitions and such a tight schedule that I didn't find the time to watch it.
So, "Fantasy" was left gathering dust in Qin Shi's favorites folder.
Until recently, he accidentally fractured his calf and had to leave the team temporarily to recuperate. Qin Shi was bored, so he found his long-neglected favorites and clicked on the account of [Fantasy].
The stickman videos on the account are pretty nice. The style is relaxing and healing, perfect for killing time. However, as Qin Shi watched, he realized something was wrong?
He looked at the cat in the video, then at the dog in the video, and then at what they had experienced: discussing food with each other, having a fever, falling into water, pretending to be partners...
Everything seemed familiar, as if it had happened to him and Li Huanhuan.
As the male protagonist in the book, Qin Shi's IQ is still online. Putting the previous and the next together, and adding in the servile behavior of his own barbecue towards the cat in Li Huanhuan's home, Qin Shi quickly deduced that [Fantasy] was most likely Li Huanhuan.
However, he still needed a little more evidence.
Thinking about how Dongfang Jiao had brought barbecue to participate in the platform's tenth anniversary celebration and came back in front of his bed with an expression on his face that seemed to want to say something but was hesitant, with his eyes full of excitement of watching the fun, he called Dongfang Jiao. Dongfang Jiao kept her promise and did not tell Qin Shi that "Your Highness the Cat" was Li Huanhuan's pseudonym, but she could not resist the fact that Qin Shi would cheat her.
In just a few words, Li Huanhuan's secret was revealed.
At this point, Qin Shi could be sure that Li Huanhuan was "Fantasia" and also "Your Highness the Cat". When he heard the news, he felt excited, as if fate had created an intricate connection between him and Li Huanhuan that could not be severed.
He wanted to find Li Huanhuan and expose the matter. But then he thought of Li Huanhuan's "ostrich personality" and was afraid that if he said it directly, Li Huanhuan would be scared away even more.
In addition, the news that [Cat Highness] announced "suspending updates" on the platform made him more certain that he could not act rashly in this matter. So, the scene just now happened.
He first took the initiative to mention the news that [Your Highness the Cat] would be discontinued, and then made the corresponding choice based on Li Huanhuan's reaction.
Sure enough, even so, Li Huanhuan still reacted like a cat.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with that?"
Qin Shi looked at the man who buried his head in his knees and said in a soft voice, "There are many screenwriters and directors in the film and television industry. They also put interesting things that happen around them into the scripts and movies they create. This is a very normal thing."
Is this normal?
But, didn’t Qin Shi see the chaotic comments under the account?
Li Huanhuan still buried his head, and the tips of his ears were slightly red due to social death. She felt that this matter was completely different from what Qin Shi said.
Qin Shi looked at the red dot on the tip of Li Huanhuan's ear and continued, "Moreover, some directors will specially create stories for the people around them. For example, their parents, their grandparents, their friends, and childhood friends. Of course, there are also stories about an unforgettable relationship they have experienced, their first love, their ex, their secret crush..."
"Please, stop talking."
A muffled pleading sound came from Li Huanhuan's arms, and her face turned even redder with shame and anger. The first part is okay, but the latter part with things like "unforgettable feelings", "first love" and "secret love" is really embarrassing.
Li Huanhuan wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it right there.
Qin Shi listened to her anxious voice that sounded like she was about to cry, and did not continue.
Li Huanhuan buried his head in his knees. After a long while, he continued, "I'm sorry for adding these things to my video without your permission."
"It's okay, I'm very generous."
Qin Shi's eyebrows moved and he said, "So, cats and dogs are a pair?"
"???"
“!!!!”
Li Huanhuan suddenly raised his head and saw Qin Shi’s smiling face.
“You, you…”
She flushed and glared at him.
Soon, she realized that Qin Shi was teasing her.
"Don't joke about this kind of thing." Li Huanhuan emphasized, trying hard to look serious.
But that flushed face and red ears were not convincing at all at this moment. Instead, they seemed too naive and easy to bully because of their poor expression skills.
"I'm not kidding."
Qin Shi smiled, sat on the gaming chair, and stretched his upper body across the table towards Li Huanhuan, "Everyone in your comment section is talking about the CP of cats and dogs. Just think of it as me asking for them."
"No! They are friends!" Li Huanhuan clenched his fists and emphasized.
It’s fine for the cat and dog CP fans in the comment section to just clash with each other, as long as they are in their own circle and don’t interfere with each other. As a creator, Li Huanhuan cannot interfere with everyone’s thoughts. However, the person sitting opposite her now is Qin Shi, who is part of the inspiration for the "dog" image and dog design in the "Cat and Dog" system video!
"Cat" added some of her own ideas and inspirations, and now the inspiration for "Dog" came from Qin Shi, who asked her face to face, whether cats and dogs are a pair? How could this not make Li Huanhuan furious?
She was never good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, and this kind of face-to-face social demise was the most difficult thing for her to deal with. Therefore, in order to prevent Qin Shi from having wild thoughts and mistakenly believing that she wanted to express some special emotions through the "cat and dog" video, Li Huanhuan had to firmly and very firmly deny that the cat and dog were in a relationship!
They must and can only be friends! ! !
"Isn't it? What a pity." Qin Shi's raised eyebrows drooped down, with deep disappointment on his face.
Li Huanhuan deliberately pretended not to see the expression on his face and insisted on their unwavering friendship. Qin Shi seemed to see that she was really insistent, so he stopped making things difficult for her, but asked another question: "The cat in your video is named 'Cat Your Highness'. Is that the name of your cat?"
Li Huanhuan didn't know what Qin Shi was going to do next? Qin Shi seems a little abnormal these two days. She hesitated and nodded.
"What about the dog? What's the name of the Husky dog in the video?" Qin Shi asked.
"There is no name yet." Li Huanhuan said.
In the video, the dog is always referred to as "Husky".
"I want to make you a suggestion—"
Qin Shi said.
Li Huanhuan felt a bad premonition in her heart again. She wanted to refuse and said that she would not accept any suggestions. However, Qin Shi spoke before her, "I hope that Husky's name is [BBQ]."
Li Huanhuan: “…”
Li Huanhuan stared at him, speechless.
She knew that Qin Shi was going to go crazy.
"No." She shook her head.
"Why not?"
Qin Shi asked doubtfully, "Didn't you say that cats and dogs are friends? Or do you just not like barbecue?"
"I don't dislike..."
"Why not?"
Qin Shi showed a sad expression, "Or do you not regard me as a friend?"
“…”
Li Huanhuan looked at him.
If she said "yes", then the crazy Qin Shi in front of her might ask, if they are not friends, then what is their relationship? Should she answer neighbors, acquaintances, or just the protagonist and passersby?
If she said "no" or "he is her friend", then Qin Shi would definitely ask, since they are friends, the cat and dog in the video are also friends, then why the cat uses the name [Your Highness the Cat] and the dog in the video cannot use the name [BBQ]? Or did she lie to him and the cat and dog in the video weren't friends?
If they are not friends, then they are in a relationship.
If they are in a relationship, then it is very intriguing that she wrote some of Qin Shi's characteristics into the dog's "dog setting". This was exactly the reason why Li was fantasizing about getting rid of it and proving his innocence!
After thinking about it, she realized that when Qin Shi first asked the question, she had already fallen into Qin Shi's language trap.
The expression on her face kept changing, revealing the complexity and struggle in her heart.
Qin Shi stared at her.
The expression changed from initial expectation, to suspicion, and then to disappointment after suspicion...
Present one by one.
But Li Huanhuan was not sure whether Qin Shi’s reaction at this moment was real? After all, he could set a trap for her right from the start. In order to avoid falling into more emotional traps, Li Huanhuan spoke before Qin Shi spoke again.
She pretended to be calm and said:
"I thought about it and thought that if you wanted the Husky in the video to be named 'BBQ', it's actually possible. Why not? After all, BBQ is so cute."
"Really? I'm happy for BBQ." Qin Shi said.
However, his eyes did not look that happy, and there was a hint of regret.
Li Huanhuan didn't want to care about it anymore. What was he regretting? Since Qin Shi knew that she was "Your Highness the Cat" and "Fantasia", and proposed to name the dog in the "Cats and Dogs" video series "Barbecue", and she has now agreed, then Li Huanhuan thinks that the trouble caused by the exposure will end here.
Qin Shi didn't seem to have any intention of pursuing the matter further.
Thinking of Qin Shi, who had always supported her in the live broadcast room and said "If you don't eat hot pot, then eat barbecue", Li Huanhuan finally sincerely thanked him for his support over the past few months.
After listening to this, Qin Shi said, "If you really want to thank me, then come back and continue the live broadcast."
"ah?"
Li Huanhuan looked at him in surprise.
Qin Shi smiled and said, "You suspended your account because you found out that 'not hotpot' was me at the anniversary event, and you felt embarrassed and afraid that I would know about it, right? Now that I know about it, there is no need for you to suspend your account anymore."
At this point, Qin Shi, who was sitting on a bright blue gaming chair, paused, lowered his head and chuckled, "You say you don't care, but in fact you can't bear to give up that account, right, sister?"
Li Huanhuan was stunned.
Her heart seemed to be hit by something and made a loud sound.
