Chapter 6 His coat, do you like it?
[Tea, are you really useless? ]
Haicha: “?”
"What do you mean?"
Sheng Baili said: "For example, help me to improve my English skill?"
[Not yet. However, as the hero's favorability increases, props will be randomly dropped. It may be a plot card, which can be used to read the plot, or a skill card to help you get through the sadness~ In addition, there are various hidden functions waiting for you to discover! ]
Sheng Baili sighed and walked towards the group of foreigners resignedly.
Look at me slaying the whole audience with my amazing and authentic pronunciation.
[Some people are very cautious and timid in reality, but dare to speak freely in their hearts.]
[My defense is broken. Shut up.]
Sheng Baili honestly moved around the foreigners, relying on sign language to make them understand, and smiled without saying anything if he heard it wrong.
The smile was very simple, revealing all the wisdom of a college student.
At the banquet, various business tycoons and dignitaries had a great time chatting with each other.
As the center of the young generation of the Lu family, Lu Zhouyan was surrounded by people who congratulated him and spoke well of him.
He looked like the most famous and arrogant big cat in the zoo. His eyes were indifferent, and he nodded occasionally, as if to give alms, to show that he was listening. Sheng Baili thought.
【Ji Susu is here! 】Hai Cha reminded.
Sheng Baili looked towards the door and saw a radiant beauty making a gorgeous appearance.
Ji Susu's eyes were fixed on Lu Zhouyan, and she walked towards him with a smile. Through Haicha's broadcast, Sheng Baili heard her sticky words "Brother Zhouyan".
[Did you hear that? Learn from me. Straight men like this kind of delicate and soft beauties! You are also a delicate flower. Come and grab one. ]
Sheng Baili, who was full of resentment for being treated like a beast of burden, smiled slightly: "I am a man-eating plant."
How can a college student not go crazy standing for so long?
All she wanted now was to keep her head and feet at the same altitude.
Sheng Baili didn't hold out for long. He took a few pieces of cake and sneaked away when no one was paying attention.
The deserted back garden.
"Mom, I refuse to marry into the Ji family." Lu Zhouyan's cold voice sounded without warning.
[Oh my, I saw the male lead resisting marriage, so exciting! ]
"Zhou Yan, this is what your grandfather wanted." Mother Lu advised: "Your grandfather has no other wish for his birthday, but to see you get married. He always said that he didn't have much time left..."
He didn't finish his words, but the meaning was self-evident.
Sheng Baili was holding the small cake, in a dilemma.
Lu's mother: "Besides, Susu has liked you for a long time. She is pretty and well-educated. What are you dissatisfied with?"
Lu Zhouyan frowned, thinking, don’t you know that I’m just a heartless attacker?
Mother Lu: "It's just an engagement. If you don't like it in the future, you can cancel it, right? The old man's last wish is just to make him happy..."
......
The system that Ji Susu tied was called "Fanshui", which could accurately locate Lu Zhouyan's position and see what he was doing.
She had a very good start, as she and the male protagonist were college classmates and had a good family relationship.
Unlike a certain bumpkin who sold the hero's clothes for 500 yuan and didn't know how to make good use of them.
With such short-sightedness, no matter how powerful her system is, she won't be able to do anything useful.
Ji Susu smiled confidently and followed the location to walk towards the back garden. The image showed that the male protagonist had finished chatting with Lu's mother and was enjoying the cool breeze alone.
But before he could go in, he bumped into Sheng Baili who was sneaking out like a cat.
"Stop." Ji Susu raised her voice coquettishly, pretending not to know her: "Where are you from, a servant, and what are you doing here?"
Sure enough, Lu Zhouyan was attracted by the sound and looked over.
Sheng Baili, with cream stains on the corners of his mouth: "......"
"Brother Zhou Yan, you are here too." Ji Susu said in surprise.
Sheng Baili wanted to leave, but Ji Susu didn't give her the chance and blocked her way. When Lu Zhouyan approached slowly, she finally spoke: "Brother Zhouyan, I was looking for you...Grandpa Lu and his family asked us to go over, probably to discuss the engagement."
Lu Zhouyan: "If you don't like it, don't force yourself."
"How could that be?" Ji Susu's eyes widened, her face full of innocent confusion: "Why would I force myself? I like my brother, but I'm just afraid that you, Zhou Yan, don't want to agree."
Ji Susu followed Danshui's instructions and spoke in a coquettish tone.
[Ji Susu, this green tea, she is showing off! ]
【Don't panic.】
Sheng Baili calmly touched the goose bumps on her arms, quietly pretending to be invisible. There was cream residue at the corner of her mouth, and she didn't bring any tissue, so she stretched out her bright red tongue and licked the corner of her mouth.
Lu Zhouyan hummed, his eyes paused for a moment, and he raised his foot to leave.
Ji Susu called him again: "Brother Zhou Yan! Wait a minute."
She ran out in her high heels, motioned a servant to bring something over, and came back a moment later holding a familiar black suit.
"Is this your coat? I accidentally saw it and thought it looked familiar, so I bought it... Is it a fake?" Ji Susu asked concernedly while holding up the coat.
Sheng Baili: “.” I don’t know, I don’t understand.
Lu Zhouyan glanced at a certain unscrupulous college student, twitched his lips, and didn't want to say any more nonsense: "Is that so."
Ji Susu stopped his hand in the air: "?"
No, brother, please look more carefully.
She wanted Lu Zhouyan to look at the details, but the man had lost his patience and left after saying, "It's a fake, throw it away."
Ji Susu:!
"You're lucky this time," she said.
Sheng Baili: “…” Consider Lu Zhouyan to be blind, okay.
Ji Susu looked at Sheng Baili, who was dressed as a waiter, and felt a sense of superiority. They were all Captors, so why were their identities so different?
Just when Ji Susu was about to make a few sarcastic remarks, Sheng Baili spoke first.
Sheng Baili: "Brother Zhou Yan's coat is wide and big, and it makes me feel safe when I wear it, like a boyfriend coat. It was raining that night, and I took his car home. The temperature in the car was very comfortable, and I fell asleep."
As he spoke, Sheng Baili raised the corners of his lips and looked at the coat in Ji Susu's hand: "Although I washed this coat before selling it, it is after all worn by me. If Miss Ji doesn't mind, you can continue to wear it."
Ji Susu: “….”
Ji Susu gritted his teeth, saw the empty cake plate in Sheng Baili's hand, and changed the subject with a disdainful smile.
"Are you still eating? Your belly is so round, are you pregnant?" Ji Susu said.
Sheng Baili is not fat, in fact she is too thin, but Ji Susu said this on purpose, implying that she is the one who will marry the male protagonist and that she will have a chance to have the male protagonist's child in the future.
"Yeah, isn't it waiting for you to reincarnate?" Sheng Baili smiled gently, his mind working quickly.
Ji Susu: “….”
She glared at Sheng Baili angrily, knocked Sheng Baili's arm away with her shoulder, and angrily chased after Lu Zhou in the direction he had left.
-
The birthday party lasted a long time.
The two small pieces of cake that filled my stomach had long been digested without a trace.
【Zhuang Fang: Is it over? 】
[Zhuang Fang: Tonight's event is very important. Don't be lazy. It's not good to be seen. Do your job well.]
[Zhuang Fang: Come over after the banquet. Your brother has some questions he can't answer. Please teach him.]
Sheng Baili lowered his head and typed.
【Poet: Please pay me the appearance fee. Thank you.】
【Zhuang Fang:? 】
【Zhuang Fang: Why would we talk about money among family members?】
[Poet: No money? If you don’t have money, I’m leaving. I’m starving. If I don’t eat, I’ll turn into a zombie.]
There was silence for a long time, and then the person on the other end transferred 50 yuan to me.
[Zhuang Fang: Take it. I'm still in the hospital getting an IV drip. Your brother is eating instant noodles at home. He's so pitiful. Remember to pack some for him when you come back.]
It's like giving me five hundred dollars.
[Poet: Where's Dad? Doesn't he cook?]
[Zhuang Fang: Your dad is a grown man, how can he cook? If you really can’t do it, you can order two takeout meals for your brother.]
Sheng Baili smiled.
"Men really know how to hide themselves beautifully." Sheng Baili said, "To some extent, how can this not be considered silent and silent fatherly love?"
"Then do you want to take care of your brother?" Haicha asked.
Sheng Baili took the 50 yuan and replied.
[Poet: 50 yuan is just enough to order two takeouts. You are so smart. ]
[Poet: (Holding fists) (Smiling) (Giving a thumbs up)]
"Who cares?" Sheng Baili picked up a plate of lobster and a bowl of crab noodles and packed them up as if no one was around. "Who cares about me if I care about my younger brother? I want to let her know that cheap things don't have good quality. If you spend the money of a banana, you can only get a monkey."
Hai Cha Dian Zan: "Join the Monkey King!"
Haicha: "By the way, why are you called a poet?"
"Do you know the poet Li Bai?" Sheng Baili squatted in the corner and chewed. "It has nothing to do with me."
Haicha: (Holding fists) (Smiling) (Thumbs up)
On the other hand, the engagement ceremony of the eldest son of the Lu family and the daughter of the Ji family was set. Grandpa Lu held Lu Zhouyan's hand, looked at his grandson with cloudy but loving eyes, and said that he was relieved to see him get married.
Lu Zhouyan said nothing, his face was calm, like a silent sculpture.
If this is the old man's greatest wish, it's not impossible for him to do it for him to see.
After the birthday celebration, the two families would announce their engagement. Lu Zhouyan felt inexplicably depressed and went to the attic on the second floor to get some fresh air. He had a cigarette in his mouth but didn't smoke it.
What a quiet environment. God, you must feel sorry for me too.
Lu Zhouyan looked up at the moon. The man's superior jawline was clear and sharp under the moonlight. He reached out and held the cigarette between his fingers, then exhaled a puff of smoke that didn't exist.
They say that only with money can one be free, but even though he had so much money, he still had to compromise.
Does this mean he is not free? No.
Lu Zhouyan had some new insights.
Perhaps freedom does not mean having absolute choice or control, but rather a person's open-mindedness and optimism.
For example, he has come to terms with it now.
In such a depressing environment, he can still maintain such a mentality. I think he is the most open-minded and optimistic person.
——
"Slurp, slurp."
What sound?
Lu Zhouyan lowered his head and saw a furry round head right below him.
Yuannao Ke was sitting on the ground with his legs crossed, enjoying the noodles in his hand.
Lu Zhouyan watched Yuan Nao Kei eat noodles calmly for ten minutes.
After Sheng Baili finished eating, he wiped his mouth, stood up shakily and stretched, his limbs stretched out comfortably, like a lazy cat.
Just when Lu Zhouyan thought she was leaving, Sheng Baili turned around.
She stood still, her back straight like the cool and noble pine and bamboo. Then the noble pine and bamboo shouted at the silent locust tree with full energy, "Shuang——!"
Lu Zhouyan: “?”
Catching a fish makes you so happy?
What a good trick to pretend to be a pig and eat feed.
Sheng Baili burped, touched her full stomach, and went back satisfied.
[Host, Ji Susu is about to announce her engagement to the male lead! How can you still eat? ] Haicha said anxiously.
“Instead of pushing yourself too hard, it’s better to give yourself a break.” The great poet published a new poem.
"When your loved ones are sad, your enemies will be happy. Being anxious will only make your enemies arrogant and cause internal friction. When we are on a mission, we should not seize every minute, but seize every minute of doing the mission. Do you understand?"
Haicha: “…”
"Then be careful when you do your task," she said dryly.
Sheng Baili straightened his appearance and returned to the banquet hall, "Are you sure Lu Zhouyan really fell for it?"
Haicha nodded heavily: "This is the result of data analysis, it can't be wrong."
Besides, isn't Ji Susu also this character? It seems that she has firmly grasped the male lead.
The engagement news had not been announced yet. Sheng Baili saw the male protagonist walking down from the second-floor attic, and his narrow eyes glanced at her vaguely.
Is that an illusion?
She walked straight forward, her eyes were open and her tone was natural: "Mr. Lu, can I talk to you?"
【Delicate! Soft!】 Haicha reminded Shihai of the important point.
Sheng Baili rubbed her ears and told her to shut up. Then he and Lu Zhouyan walked to the corridor away from the crowd.
"What do you want to say?" Lu Zhouyan asked casually.
The man was tall and slender, wearing a suit that made him look elegant and dignified, but his posture was casual, standing face to face with Sheng Baili, his dark eyes lowered, and no emotion could be seen.
Sheng Baili followed Haicha's instructions, took half a step forward and closed the distance between them. Her slender white fingers gently grasped a corner of the man's suit jacket, and then shook it barely perceptibly.
"If we must get engaged... do you think I can do it?"
The girl's voice is crisp and pleasant, like the sound of a spring, clear and pure, and very pleasing to the ear.
She slowly raised her pair of autumn eyes and blinked her butterfly-like long eyelashes. Because the distance was so close, Lu Zhouyan could even see his own reflection in her eyes.
The girl half bit her upper lip and looked very nervous. Her fair and clean cheeks were flushed, and she looked like a weak little deer that I felt sorry for.
No one can remain indifferent after watching it.
Lu Zhouyan raised his eyebrows slightly, and felt that the sound in his ears and the image in front of him were very disjointed.
——
[Fuck! I worked all day just to say this to Lu Zhouyan. God knows when the rain stops, the earth knows when the leaves fall, but who knows when I cry?]
[It’s a sin not to study for a day... What are the 10 words after abandon?]
[Lu Zhouyan, I have no virginity, no love, no money, I can only say a lot of sweet words to you and provide you with emotional value. Sincerity is my only killer move.]
[I guess Lu Zhouyan's blood pressure is now +200, body temperature +300, and heart rate +500. He must have longed for this kind of love that is like a home invasion for a long time. ]
【Man, admit it, you are also fascinated by me. 】
Lu Zhouyan: "......"
Haicha saw the male protagonist's eyes flickering, and suddenly became a little excited: "He hesitated! Hesitation means consideration, consideration means care, care means possessiveness, and possessiveness means wanting to be together!!"
"Host," Haicha celebrated in advance while spinning in circles: "The male protagonist is really attracted to soft beauties!"
[Of course, I am so pretty and smart. ]
[It is Lu Zhouyan's blessing to be my capture target, okay? 】
Lu Zhouyan: ""
The corners of his mouth twitched, and under the girl's expectant gaze, he refused casually:
"No."
Sheng Baili's pupils shrank:?
"Why? I really can't do it." Sheng Baili softened his voice, grabbed the hem of his suit and asked obediently and aggrievedly, "Why... can't I do it?"
"......" I cursed so badly in my heart that I disturbed him.
Lu Zhouyan said nonsense: "My fiancée needs to be a beautiful and smart lady."
"Isn't it me?" Sheng Baili looked very innocent and incomprehensible.
Lu Zhouyan smiled gently: "What do you think?"
Sheng Baili: “.”
I mean, are you blind? :)
[Host! The hero definitely doesn’t think you’re not pretty enough, but…] Before Haicha could finish the words “not smart enough”, Sheng Baili interrupted her hastily—
[Of course it can’t be because I’m not pretty enough.] Sheng Baili doubted no one but herself, [There is only one truth - that is Lu Zhouyan. He doesn’t like uniforms or cosplay. He doesn’t accept differences in status and position. He is a very old-fashioned and conservative person!]
Haicha: “That makes sense!”
[He is such a rude person.]
Haicha: “No taste!”
[What a superficial and materialistic man, haha. ]
Haicha: “…” The host started to talk without thinking, but luckily she was the only one who could hear it.
Sheng Baili talked to herself in her heart, and her hands that were pulling the man's clothes gradually loosened. She hung her head listlessly, and the bones in her back were obviously protruding. It seemed that she had suffered endless shock and pain because of the man's rejection.
If Lu Zhouyan hadn't heard what she was thinking, perhaps he would have felt a little sympathy and pity.
But now all he wanted to do was laugh.
This little NPC's acting is quite interesting.
