I transmigrated into a book, becoming a money-grubbing relative in the female lead's family.
My money-grubbing mother, through moral manipulation, made me join the male lead's company...
Cheng Qicai originally wanted to play with it in the living room downstairs, but it was clear that Golden Bean had other plans.
With its head held high and chest puffed out, it led the way, carrying the ball in its mouth, just like the owner of the house, occasionally turning its head to check if she was following.
Looking at its condition, Cheng Qicai couldn't help but sigh. It had only been living in the wealthy family for a short time, but its small gait already showed the temperament of a young dog.
Looks like money really does pay for dogs! Now who can tell if you're Wangcai or a Vulcan?
Luckily, I didn't adopt it myself back then, otherwise I would have had a hard life with her.
Cheng Qicai was led to the garden, where there was a large lawn.
It then placed the ball in front of her, gesturing for her to throw it.
Cheng Qicai threw it out again for it to pick up.
After a few rounds, Cheng Qicai felt that the game was not very interesting, but looking at the golden beans, she still had a lot of enthusiasm for the game.
Cheng Qicai remained silent for a moment, then threw the ball forcefully a great distance, disappearing into who-knows-where.
Seeing the dog's shadow disappear with the ball, she breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the lawn.
This will probably take some time to find.
The weather was alright today. The sun shone with a soft glow, and the fragrance of green grass filled the air. As Cheng Qicai sat there, she couldn't help but feel a little sleepy.
Seeing that Golden Bean hasn't returned yet, and there's not much person around, and the lawn is quite comfortable, it shouldn't be a problem to lie down and rest for a while, right?
Convincing herself this way, she went limp and lay down on the lawn.
Mmm, that feels good!
I squinted at the clouds in the sky for a while, and my consciousness began to drift away.
Suddenly, she felt something wet and warm licking her hand. She groggily opened her eyes and saw that it was a golden bean. She pushed it away and then fell back asleep.
She didn't know how much time had passed when she felt a fuzzy touch on her hand. She impatiently moved away, but the thing followed her again.
As she grew a little annoyed, a sudden thought came to her mind, reminding her that she wasn't at home.
She suddenly opened her eyes and saw two dark figures above her, one of whom was holding a familiar yellow object.
His obedient demeanor was a stark contrast to his attempt to escape from Gu Liji's clutches.
Cheng Qicai looked at the two of them, blinked, and after confirming that it wasn't a hallucination, she froze on the spot.
Why can't I be a blade of grass in the lawn, so she won't die?
No, I was just planning to lie down for a bit, how did I fall asleep?
She sprang to her feet in a flash, giving them an awkward smile.
Gu Liji looked at her with a teasing smile, "Cheng Qicai, I was wondering why I didn't see you when I came out. There was only Huangjindou downstairs. I thought you had lost yourself."
Cheng Qicai touched her nose and said guiltily, "I was too tired from playing with it, so I took a break."
Compared to Gu Liji's teasing words, Gu Rongqi's words sounded much better: "Don't rest outside, you'll easily catch a cold."
"No, I just lay down for a bit, I didn't fall asleep," Cheng Qicai insisted.
She couldn't possibly admit that she fell asleep on someone else's lawn, especially since it was during her work hours.
She quickly changed the subject, asking sincerely, "Brother Gu, have you signed the documents?"
Gu Liji wanted to say something more, but after noticing Gu Rongqi glance at him, he changed his mind and said, "It's signed."
The three people and the dog arrived at the game room where Gu Liji had just been, and Gu Liji handed her the signed documents.
Cheng Qicai packed it in her bag and said to them, "Then I'll head to the company first."
Gu Liji checked the time. "It's already past five o'clock. Why don't you stay for dinner before you leave?"
Cheng Qicai immediately refused, "No, no."
All she wants now is to escape this embarrassing place as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, even if you slack off, I won't deduct your salary!" Gu Liji saw through Cheng Qicai's little scheme. "Alright, stay for dinner."
Cheng Qicai: "..."
If we don't expose each other, we can still be good friends.
Since Gu Liji had said that, she had no choice but to put down her bag and stay for dinner.
"It's still early, how about we play some games together?" Gu Liji suggested.
Cheng Qicai nodded, "Okay."
"Brother, do you want to play?" Gu Liji asked Gu Rongqi.
Gu Rongqi shook his head.
Seeing him shake his head, Gu Liji ignored him and handed the other controller to Cheng Qicai, selecting a two-player adventure game from the game categories.
Cheng Qicai had just started playing the game and didn't quite understand how to play.
Gu Liji started by saying, "Go to the left, why are you going to the right?"
"A monster is coming from above! Shoot it down! I'm going to die..."
"No, you jump up! How did you do that...?"
Before Cheng Qicai could even experience the gameplay, her ears were already about to be ruined by Gu Liji's nagging.
Gu Rongqi, who had just gone out, heard Gu Liji talking non-stop as soon as he entered the room.
He frowned and watched their collaboration from behind for a while.
Gu Liji kept babbling on and on, while Cheng Qicai was sweating profusely with anxiety.
He can recite even more than Tang Sanzang!
"Don't panic, go to the left." Gu Rongqi sat down to Cheng Qicai's right.
The calm voice calmed Cheng Qicai down considerably, and she walked in the direction Gu Rongqi had indicated.
"Jump."
Cheng Qicai pressed the button and jumped.
“You need to cover Liji as he gets the key. This monster starts with three stages of smaller monsters. When you get to the middle, the monsters will suddenly scatter and a larger monster will appear.” Gu Rongqi stared at the screen. “Like this, charge up and shoot the arrow.”
Cheng Qicai followed Gu Rongqi's instructions. After seeing the monsters scatter, she held down the button to charge up her attack and shot the large monster back quite a bit.
"Great, just keep doing this until the monster's health is depleted."
Gu Rongqi watched as she stared intently at the monster in the game, her lips pressed tightly together. When she was nervous, her body would unconsciously move in the direction of the character.
Left, right.
With the final blow, Cheng Qicai happily raised the controller, turned to Gu Rongqi with a beaming smile, and said, "We won!"
Gu Rongqi also smiled and said, "Hmm... You played very well!"
Hearing Gu Rongqi's approval, she realized it wasn't her fault after all; she played games very well when she was alone.
I'm never playing games with someone like Gu Liji who loves to talk nonsense again!
You should find someone who is emotionally stable!
Gu Liji wanted to celebrate with them, but when he turned around, he saw that the other two were already celebrating.
Does it make me feel like I'm being a bit superfluous?
Gu Liji angrily grabbed Golden Bean, which was circling around Cheng Qicai and the others, and gave it a hard pat on the head.
Golden Bean stuck out its tongue and licked him, then wagged its tail happily at him.
Dogs are the best!
