Chapter 218 Refuting the Paranoiac
"Are you all alright? Here, one bottle each, a drink will make you feel better." Ji Yingying gave each of them a bottle of mineral water and opened it for them.
"Thank you~" It was Xiaomei who spoke!
"You're welcome!"
[Xiangxiang, this Xiaomei has the potential to be a player. Not only is she pretty, but she's also quite charming.]
Yeah, look how the handsome guys are staring, their eyes are practically glued to the screen.
[Hehe, what would they do if they knew—known that they were just another fish in a pond, a backup option among backup options?]
I don't know, anyway, Xiaomei made the final choice.
Who are these handsome young men and beautiful young women?
The four were puzzled, but dared not voice their doubts, fearing that their great-grandmother would come and drag them to keep her company again.
"Where are you planning to go?" Ji Yingying asked in return, and people from both sides came over to chat.
"We plan to come here to check out the sea and see what we can eat."
Do you know when the tide is going out?
The four shook their heads.
[Host, asking them is pointless. The young men are all people of status, not to mention the beautiful woman.]
Yeah, I was just being nosy, but anyway, let's go take a look.
"What is low tide?" the wealthy businessman asked, as he had many questions.
"It's when the tide goes out." Ji Yingying didn't explain further, and was about to go down and take a look anyway.
"Girl, don't go near the sea. The sea often sweeps people in, and once they're in, they can't come back," Xiaomei advised.
"Thanks, I just plan to walk around the area and don't intend to get into the seawater."
[What a joke! I'm a complete landlubber. I sink in any water. I will never go near the sea again in my life.]
Xiangxiang: ...
Everyone: ...What a timid little girl!
Walking on the beach, Ji Yingying felt quite comfortable.
Occasionally, you can dig out some seashells and conches.
"Look, it's so beautiful! Let me listen to what it's making." Ji Yingying brought the conch shell close to her ear and actually heard an echo!
"This is so much fun!" Ji Yingying was quite disciplined and didn't get close to the seawater at all.
They didn't touch the seawater because they were having too much fun.
After collecting most of the coconuts, Ji Yingying returned to the base of the big tree. To her surprise, she discovered that there were still a few coconut trees left!
There are also coconuts on the tree.
"Haha... What a wonderful place." Ji Yingying wanted to knock down and eat the coconuts.
Seeing this, the young master even used his light-footed skills to help her pick all the coconuts.
"Come on, young hero, drive a few from here, and we'll eat, drink, and have meat!"
The young master actually opened them for her. The first one was for Ji Yingying, the second one he gave to Xiao Mei, and Xiao Mei gave it to the doctor.
The young master and the wealthy merchant were both a little unhappy. Ji Yingying could also see it. What a good boy they were. They were all lovey-dovey over there, but things didn't look so good on this side.
Ji Yingying reached out and patted the young master's shoulder, saying, "Don't look down, or your green hat will fall off."
The other was about to sigh, after all, the wealthy businessman was older, looking to be around twenty.
Ji Yingying patted his shoulder and said, "Don't sigh, your rival will laugh!"
These two are so pitiful. Xiaomei only treated them as backup options, look how badly she's hurt them...
Okay, stop thinking about it. It's none of your business anyway. In the end, Xiaomei won't be with them. Those two will eventually settle down with the wives their families arranged for them.
"He'll live a good life?" Then what's with the obsession? He's lying, he's a scumbag!
What do you think?
[No, he might even abuse his wife?]
[That's right. The wealthy businessman got married, and his wife lived like a widow for four or five years. Now, she only feels that she hasn't done enough and is wholeheartedly waiting for him to change his mind.]
[What a pity, the wealthy businessman didn't like her, he liked Xiao Mei.]
Why bother? Knowing your life will be difficult, why not just settle down with your wife? Or is it that your family arranged this marriage for you, so you don't like her and are afraid of being controlled?
Yes, you got it right.
[You're crazy! Isn't a marriage between equals, where both partners are well-matched? Not being well-matched... well, that only happens in stories. In reality... haha...]
I heard mocking voices.
But his parents controlled him, depriving him of his freedom.
What does it mean to have freedom? Look at me, I didn't want to be an official, but I still did it for half a year, and I completed all the tasks the emperor assigned me.
Ji Yingying sighed: "Life isn't always perfect. Did his parents beat him?"
[Didn't call.]
Did you insult him?
[I didn't curse.]
[Mind control?]
No, I treated him very well. I just wanted to make arrangements for him, hoping he would become the top scholar in the imperial examination, but he didn't want to.
After he refused, did his family continue to pressure him?
I didn't pressure him anymore.
[How could he develop such obsession? No, he's not. He's just selfish. He's blind. If he didn't have these family issues, you see, this kind of pretentious behavior would never have happened.]
He passed.
[Let's talk about the young master. How did he develop such a stubborn personality? Was it because his parents were absent? Or was he bullied by his uncle? From a young age...]
[Oh dear, host, you're asking me? How would I know? I just received some gossip from the gossip-loving crowd. All three of them are the obsessive type, capable of forcing love.]
【I understand, they're psychopaths, which fits the criteria for paranoia. They're paranoid about this, I approve!】
Xiangxiang: How embarrassing, host! She gave me permission, but is it really necessary to use her permission?
The four realized that the conversation was about them.
I don't want to talk about this ending anymore; anyway, you already felt there was an ending you were satisfied with.
Yes, I wanted to go back to living a normal life instead of becoming a pervert, but since you've already called me a pervert, we can't argue with that.
[Okay, for the first time, I don't want to finish this drama, host. You're really good at roasting me!]
【Thank you for your appreciation, my darling. Now, let's take our final bow!】 Ji Yingying was already bowing in her mind, one to the left, one to the right, and a big one in the middle.
Should I also say: Thank you to my benefactors who provide for me?
You're welcome. It was nothing, just a small favor.
"You're crazy..." Xiangxiang cursed and then disappeared into the shadows.
"Eat up! By the way, where are you staying tonight?"
“There’s a village not far away where we’ll stay. If you need to, you can come along too.”
"There's a village..." Ji Yingying chuckled twice, her expression looking rather lewd.
"Okay, thank you. Don't worry, I'll pay the rent, and you don't need to take care of the food."
Ji Yingying planned to eat instant noodles, even though she didn't like them, because it was the most convenient option.
"No need, it's good that you can come and stay."
The four of them were puzzled as to what kind of creature it was. They couldn't say, nor were they allowed to ask. Although it was frightening, they knew that there was a kind of magic called mind reading not far away. They thought that it must possess this magic.
I just wonder how many people will be able to hear it?
