Qiao Zhen gave Xiao Ling a loving, motherly look: "Honey, go sign up for a 21st-century internet slang class, or even a 22nd or 23rd century one, otherwise I'll think we have a generation gap."

Xiao Ling and Chu Chu helped each other escape.

Qiao Zhen sat down in the chair behind Lu Yuanchuan with a smile. Lu Yuanchuan liked to stand when he wrote, which was one of his habits.

Lu Yuanchuan turned to look at Qiao Zhen, who was sitting in a chair and was much shorter than him. "Is she fierce?"

Qiao Zhen looked up at Lu Yuanchuan, who had a serious expression on his face, and nodded solemnly. "He's very fierce. If you were in wartime, he would be the kind of person who could stop a child from crying at night."

Lu Yuanchuan was a little frustrated. He turned back to concentrate on writing on the Xuan paper.

Three days later.

Qiao Zhen coaxed Lu Yuanchuan to go to Yu Lake with her. The boats at the boat fair included exquisite and luxurious ones, as well as simple and understated ones, and ordinary small boats. Because many noble ladies, young masters, and people of high status were going to join in the fun, the surrounding security was quite good.

Moreover, the boat parade has no social restrictions and is designed to be accessible to everyone, so the vendors along the lake are all bustling about. Families with children, in particular, bring their kids to enjoy the lively boat parade.

Qiao Zhen looked at the bright red candied hawthorns and her legs instantly stiffened, unable to move. She grabbed Lu Yuanchuan's sleeve to stop him from leaving, "Husband, I want to eat candied hawthorns."

Looking at the candied hawthorns exposed to the sunlight, Lu Yuanchuan frowned and said, "Dirty."

Qiao Zhen was a little unconvinced, but she still grabbed Lu Yuanchuan's sleeve to stop him from leaving. "So many people have eaten it and nothing happened. They say a little dirt won't hurt you. Buy me one skewer, just one, okay?"

A candied hawthorn appeared in front of Qiao Zhen.

Qiao Zhen looked in the direction of the hand holding the bamboo skewer, and her scalp tingled. The person in front of her looked exactly like Xu Li from the previous world!

She took a few deep breaths to calm her turbulent emotions, and said awkwardly with her head down, "If you don't buy it for me, I'll just take it."

Qiao Zhen felt that Lu Yuanchuan couldn't afford to lose face in front of others, but she seriously underestimated him.

Lu Yuanchuan glanced sideways at Qiao Zhen, who was feigning grievance, then turned and left.

Qiao Zhen stared in disbelief, ignoring the person who looked exactly like Xu Li, and hurriedly chased after him, "Husband! I just wanted a skewer of candied hawthorns, do you have to be so stingy?!"

Lu Yuanchuan didn't slow down even though Qiao Zhen was behind him. Seeing that he didn't slow down at all, Qiao Zhen angrily turned around and went back to buy a skewer of candied hawthorns.

She was squatting by the lake with someone who looked very similar to "Xu Li," eating candied hawthorns. "Do I know you?"

"Princess, don't you recognize Ah Li?"

"Cough!" Qiao Zhen choked on a mouthful of sugary syrup, but she managed to swallow it back down. "What's your last name again?"

"May."

Qiao Zhen tilted her head and looked at "Xu Li," who shared the same name and appearance as Xu Li from the previous world.

Qiao Zhen: [Xiao Ling, is this a bug?]

Xiao Ling: [No, it's part of the mission, designed to distract you.]

Qiao Zhen: [Which one was my previous mission target?]

Xiao Ling: [This is probably it. The main system didn't tell me. Don't bother me if you need anything. I was playing Dou Dizhu (a card game), and I lost so much I don't even have my underwear left. Sigh :-(]

Qiao Zhen: ...My feelings are complicated.

Back when Xiao Ling was still the system called 0, it was rational and normal. But now, it has become a loser in the system world, which is quite fitting for its original code name.

Qiao Zhen: [So what was Xu Li's identity before?]

Xiao Ling: [The original owner's bodyguard, who has always admired the original owner. Ever since the original owner was captured by the soldiers of Qi Kingdom and taken as a prisoner of war, Xu Li has gained the favor of the Qi Kingdom emperor with his agile skills and become a general of the fourth rank in Qi Kingdom.]

Qiao Zhen: [Is he really that promising? Even more impressive than Pan Zhao! Did the Emperor of Qi go easy on him?]

Xiao Ling: Compared to Xu Li, Pan Zhao is just a little finger.

Qiao Zhen: [Don't say anything, I know what I need to do.]

Qiao Zhen put her arm around Xu Li's arm and said in a friendly tone, "Xu Li isn't a good name. Come on, let me think of a name for you that's auspicious, sophisticated, classy, ​​understated yet luxurious and meaningful." She frowned and thought seriously. "How about Xu Ruan Kuang? The character 'Kuang' is very meaningful. It's like a soft basket that won't break when it falls from a height. But you're a man, so we can't use the word 'soft' directly. So, we'll use the character 'Ruan' with the 'ear' radical and the 'Yuan' radical. It's a homophone and has a lot of meaning. Don't you think it's great?"

Xu Li nodded, stunned.

Qiao Zhen was secretly pleased to see his clueless look. She picked up a twig from the ground and taught Xu Li to write the three characters "Xu Ruan Kuang". "From now on, this will be your name."

She may not have realized it herself, but for Xu Li, the moment she turned her head, or the moment she smiled and raised her eyebrows, was a stunning sight, like a hundred flowers blooming.

"Ah Kuang?"

Xu Li... oh no, General Xu, who had no morals or values ​​in front of the beauty he admired, officially changed his name to Xu Ruan Kuang from then on. "Well, whatever the princess says goes."

Lu Yuanchuan watched as Qiao Zhen and General Xu squatted by the lake, their arms around each other. His face remained expressionless, but his body temperature had dropped considerably.

The young man in dark blue robes stood beside Lu Yuanchuan. He followed Lu Yuanchuan's gaze and said, "Isn't that Xu Li and Princess Qiao Zhen?" He teased, "That princess is truly stunning. She was so intimate with her former guard. Aren't you going to stop them?"
