"Big...Big Sister?"

Lu Xiaoyao was instantly bewildered by this sarcastic question. She nervously touched her face while covering her constantly darting little eyes with her hand.

After she lowered her hands, she looked at Julian with an innocent expression and asked in a voice even sweeter and more coquettish than the girl's, "Brother Julian~ am I really that old?"

Julian: Damn it!!!

"It's okay." Before Julian could speak, Lu Xiaoyao, in her affected manner, tugged at the hem of her clothes and said slowly, "Anyway, you said I'm younger than your guy, that's fine~"

After saying that, Lu Xiaoyao winked at the other person and took the food handed to her by the waiter.

Before either of them could react, Lu Xiaoyao took two steps forward, gently patted Julian's collar, and then whispered in his ear in a voice only Julian could hear, "Sigh, tell me, how wicked this guy is, he can't stand the game and finds a girlfriend to mess with you..."

After saying that, Lu Xiaoyao pushed the other person away abruptly, turned around, licked herself, and walked away. As she walked, she rolled her cute little eyes and muttered, "My dear audience, let me tell you, I didn't like that man at all~ I was just messing with that guy who was talking badly about our empire."

And also, ladies who have boyfriends, don't be like that girl—if a man isn't right for you, move on, don't cling to him! Understand?

[Hahaha, I didn't believe you! Lu Xiaoyao, you're a bachelor, yet you talk so eloquently about the secrets of love!]

So, is this why you've been single for so many years?

[Hahaha, to be honest, that girl is incredibly jealous, almost as much as the big shot! Hahaha!]

[Damn it! Why do other people have girlfriend NPCs in games? I don't!]

Maybe you're ugly.

[...]

"Pfft~"

When Mingmei saw Lu Xiaoyao being subtly teased by Julian, her NPC girlfriend, through the live stream, she couldn't help but laugh.

This left Mu Chen, who was sitting opposite her, stunned.

Mingmei rarely smiles. It seems that whenever she wants to laugh, her face muscles inexplicably break down into a very strange expression. This kind of smile, which is so natural as she can't help but laugh and slightly raises the corners of her mouth, is truly a smile that lives up to her name.

Bright and beautiful.

"What's wrong?"

Coming to her senses, Mingmei saw Mu Chen staring at her blankly. She touched her face and asked nervously, "Is there...is there something on my face?"

"No..." Mu Chen realized he might have lost his composure, so he shook his head.

The plan was to go to the Sand Sea Maze ahead of time, but things took a dramatic turn because of Lu Xiaoyao's sudden change of heart.

Lu Xiaoyao went to run errands, while the two of them rode the Ferris wheel.

For some reason, seeing the other person looking at her intently, her heart started beating faster.

Mingmei is a little flustered now.

[Host! Why is your heart beating so fast?]

Suddenly, Gui Gui's stroke of genius was like a bucket of ice water, extinguishing the small flame burning in Mingmei's heart.

What's wrong with jumping faster? Pushing your limits, you know?

Gui Gui: [Then why are you slow again?]

Mingmei: ...

Isn't that because of you?

Mingmei really wanted to roll her eyes at her own system right now, because that one sentence ruined everything!

Just moments ago, Mingmei thought Mu Chen's handsome features were very attractive, but now—oh, he's still quite handsome =.=

"How does it feel to sit here and look down?" Mu Chen looked at Mingmei with a flicker in his eyes. He hadn't been unaware of the change in Mingmei's gaze towards him just now.

He lowered his eyes, trying to comfort himself by telling himself that he had to take it one step at a time and that he wasn't in a hurry.

"It feels pretty good, but it's a bit slow..." Mingmei felt the speed of the Ferris wheel's rotation. It took about half an hour to complete one rotation, which was indeed quite a long time.

"It's alright, going to the Sand Maze too early won't do any good."

Listen to this! Who said they were going to make arrangements early? Now they're contradicting themselves.

Mingmei was at a loss for words.

"Oh, right."

"What?"

"My... bracelet."

Mingmei still remembered that she didn't have a bracelet. She didn't know if her uncle had forgotten about her when he set it up or if he did it on purpose, but she didn't have a bracelet.

Without the bracelet, you can't enter the Sand Sea Maze.

She won't be able to get out then either.

"Yes, I remember. It'll be done soon, but don't worry, I'll have someone deliver the bracelet to you once it's finished."

After Mu Chen finished speaking, Mingmei nodded slightly, not taking it to heart. She figured she could just rush over there herself; it was just the entrance to an amusement park attraction, and as long as she ran fast enough, she would definitely be able to…

When Mingmei and the others reunited with Lu Xiaoyao, the three of them stood in the Sand Sea Maze. Mingmei saw that some tourists were already rushing towards the entrance like madmen. In an instant, several laser beams shot out from the entrance and pierced the tourist like a sieve.

If she runs fast enough, she'll definitely die without pain (╥ω╥`)

When she saw the unidentified object turn into a burnt brown net-like substance after it landed, Mingmei immediately turned her face away.

Help!

That's terrifying!

At this moment, the tourists who had gathered in front of the Sand Maze scattered like birds and beasts. Rushing in ahead of time could really kill people!
