"Ugh, so boring! After seeing the girl off, I'm just sitting here feeding the mosquitoes!"

As she spoke, Lu Xiaoyao let out a howl, and a slap followed.

With a snap, Lu Xiaoyao's arm turned red; the mosquito had flown away.

"It's so late, and the banquet has been going on for quite a while now. I doubt anyone else will be coming."

Lu Xiaoyao's gaze fell on the gate again, looking left and right. Then, she tucked the flashlight into her waistband and smiled slyly.

"Hehe, it's not that I don't want to 'stay at my post,' it's just that my system said I have new tasks to complete~"

Lu Xiaoyao put her hands on her hips and laughed smugly. If it weren't for the fact that the viewers in the live stream could see the system notification through her broadcast, they would have really thought that Lu Xiaoyao was about to go in.

"You've just changed your patrol location, haven't you?"

[Pfft, patrolling alone?]

[The previous five people were all terrified, and now you're patrolling alone? Kid, are you really sure you can handle this?]

Mingmei also saw the group of people mocking Lu Xiaoyao in the live chat.

However, Mingmei was unable to get there, and instead, Mu Chen carried her into the villa.

A tall, thin, handsome man was holding a tattered teddy bear. Even though the other players knew that the teddy bear belonged to the mysterious merchant, their gazes toward Mu Chen still carried a somewhat indescribable feeling.

Is he just a bootlicker for the mysterious businessman?

Is it really necessary to go this far?!

Mingmei occasionally caught the gazes of players sneaking glances from the side, and she felt utterly ashamed and indignant.

She had thought about it... well, she hadn't imagined that one day she would be held in his arms like a child. _(：3」∠)_

But her current image is really... not good, is it?

It's not aesthetically pleasing!

Even though Mingmei tried to struggle to get down, Mu Chen not only held her tighter, but when she struggled too much, he actually slapped her on the bear's butt!

This bear's butt is her butt now too!

"Stop fooling around, I can barely hold you anymore," Mu Chen coaxed softly.

They walked around most of the villa before finally finding a window that wasn't fully closed, and they decided to climb in through it.

"Yes, Mysterious Little Bear, don't move. You're so heavy, it's hard for us to carry you."

It hasn't been long, and Zhen Hu has already changed his address from "Bear Spirit" to "Mysterious Little Bear." You're something else!

What angered Mingmei wasn't this part, but his next sentence, which said she was heavy!

Is she heavy?!

【Wow! Am I heavy?!】

[Host, what standards are you using to ask this question?]

[?? There are standards for this??]

[Is this your normal height, or your current height?]

Mingmei: [Just say it normally or now.]

[When you're normal, you have curves in all the right places and none in the wrong places—perfect! Now…can I say you're overweight?]

Bright and beautiful: [...]

Before she could get angry at what Guigui said, Mingmei just felt that something was off about what Guigui had said.

"It's not heavy, it's just that I was afraid I wouldn't be able to hold her steady if she moved too much when I climbed in." Mu Chen retorted to Zhen Hu. Right now, only he and Zhen Hu were still outside the window, while the others had already climbed in. "You go in first, I'll cover you from behind."

"You go first, Mysterious Little Bear. I don't have anything here, so it's convenient for me to do anything. If anything happens, I can react in time."

Zhen Hu waved his hand, and although he didn't say anything more, his eyes were full of sympathy as he looked at Mu Chen.

Why!

He was just playing a game, but for everyone's safety afterwards, he was carrying around this huge "burden"—a mysterious little bear! Sigh~

When Mu Chen climbed over the wall, Mingmei's face was directly facing Zhen Hu's direction, and Mingmei immediately understood what was going on.

She seemed to have seen that gaze many times before.

You and your sister are from two different worlds. You don't need to take her everywhere you go, do you? She can't really help much...

Although Mei Jiu always beat the other party to a pulp, Mingmei couldn't deny that she was sad.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that the adorably ugly little bear hadn't said a word since it had been perched on his shoulder, Mu Chen sensed that the bear's emotional state wasn't good.

When Mingmei heard Mu Chen's question, she shook her head and didn't say anything. She looked at the group of people who were already groping around in the restaurant, as if they wanted to turn on the lights in the hotel. She and Mu Chen were standing by the wall. She raised her hand and touched the wall, and instantly the lights in the room were turned on by Mingmei.

"Wow! The light can be turned on!"

Whether it's a stereotype or not, people subconsciously assume that the light won't turn on in this situation.

When everyone came to their senses and looked at the mysterious merchant's chubby, hairy little hands pressing the light switch, they wondered if it was just their imagination, but they actually saw disdain in the other party's button-made, rather flimsy fake eyes.

A bunch of idiots!

"Well, that's good. Thanks, Mysterious Little Bear. It will make our exploration much easier."

Zhen Hu came to his senses first and thanked Mingmei. However, with Zhen Hu leading everyone in praising the mysterious little bear, the news quickly spread among them.

Afterwards, when everyone thanked Mingmei, they all added "mysterious little bear" at the end.

Mingmei: "..."

"This floor looks like a finely decorated and elegant restaurant."

They walked through the ground floor of the building. Although the entire villa had been rebuilt due to the fire, the hotel's floor area hadn't been expanded to make it look more like the original from the outside. (Biquge)
