67 You are you
◎I like you too◎
The system repeated itself mechanically, completely ignoring Tian Nongxi's words.
She took a deep breath, and her face became darker than a pot that had been used for decades.
I couldn't help but tell it to stop making noise, but the system still ignored me.
Tian Nongxi's head was splitting with pain, and he could only think, "I choose. I choose, alright?"
The system stopped talking and waited for a while before asking, "Host, please select the following reward..."
Seeing that it was about to "chant" again, Tian Nongxi hurriedly called a halt and said that he needed to think about it again.
Without waiting for the system to urge her, she breathed a sigh of relief and finally had time to look elsewhere.
In the short time of negotiation with the system, several secret guards who had just left came back, carrying wooden buckets and handkerchiefs to wipe the blood-stained ground clean.
Tian Nongxi clicked his tongue and caught a glimpse of a bony hand holding a stack of papers being handed to him from the corner of his eye. He lowered his eyelashes and glanced at it for a moment, then could no longer look away.
!
She stared in astonishment at the paper with the words "land deed" written on it, then looked at the owner of the hand: Wen Tingluan with an indifferent expression.
Nene asked: "What is this...?"
Judging from the thickness of the paper, there are at least dozens of sheets.
"The deed."
Tian Nongxi: “?”
She looked up at him in a daze and was reluctant to take it.
Wen Tingluan spread out the papers in his hand and said, "They are all houses in this county. Pick the one you like and live in it. If you sell the rest, you'll make 20 million."
The page in the book only mentioned how much money she had earned, but didn't say what the money was for her. Tian Nongxi opened his mouth, unsure how to explain it. He just smiled and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'll be hit by a meteor as soon as I make enough money?"
Wen Tingluan shook his head seriously, "No."
"You don't want to look at me more closely, do you?" Tian Nongxi noticed something, took two steps back, and looked him up and down.
"..." Wen Tingluan shook his head, "I won't let you die."
Tian Nongxi smiled brightly, "I'm also trying not to let you die."
The snow was falling heavily, and not only was the white snow that had just been dyed red by blood washed away without a trace, but even most of the smell of blood was covered under the new snow.
Tian Nongxi finally raised his foot, walked to where Wen Lang fell, kicked the snow with his foot, and was instantly surrounded by the smell of blood.
She covered her lips and coughed twice, then turned to look at Wen Tingluan, "Can you get some incense? The smell is too strong." It would be bad if someone accidentally broke into the backyard and smelled the blood.
Wen Tingluan responded with "OK" and turned to leave. The next moment, Tian Nongxi, who was standing in the white snow, whispered to herself, "He won't like me, will he?" He took the risk of hiding his identity and coming to her. It can't be just to make a living, right?
Tian Nongxi's mind was filled with Wen Lang's words and the look on his face when he spoke to her, and she felt a mixture of emotions.
"Yeah." Wen Tingluan approached her without her knowing when, put his arm around her shoulders, and looked at the ground with his eyes lowered. "Although he seems to be coveting you, he really likes you.
"But you like me. Huh?"
"Yes." Tian Nongxi admitted frankly, "Even if he was the one I met first, I still liked you."
Bumping into Wen Tingluan's eyes that were filled with a faint smile, Tian Nongxi breathed a sigh of relief silently - Wen Tingluan was serious, so ordinary people could hardly tell when he was in a bad mood, but she didn't know why she could sense that since they met today, his mood was not as calm as before, but rather sullen.
"Okay, okay, let's go out." Swallowing all the doubts, Tian Nongxi stood on tiptoe and touched Wen Tingluan's hair. When he pulled his hand back, it was covered with a lot of snowflakes.
"Just wait for me here, okay?"
"Uh-huh."
After sending Wen Tingluan away, Tian Nongxi continued to call the system in his mind.
"System Z071854 has been connected and is serving the host."
Tian Nongxi: "I'm looking for system A001."
"System A001 is under maintenance. I will be serving the host."
“…”
Tian Nongxi walked to the steps and sat down, scratching his head in pain. He asked, "You don't know anything, what use is there for me to have you?"
"Host, please choose the following reward..."
"Stop." Tian Nongxi stopped it at the right moment, sighed deeply, and said, "Unless you can answer my questions, I'm going to find System A001. If you can't do either of those, I'll tell everyone this is a book world. Now there's no way to stop it, right?"
The system jammed for a moment, and the "sizzling" sound of electricity started again. Tian Nongxi knelt down and waited quietly, looking up at the snowflakes falling like goose feathers.
After about a cup of tea, the sound of electricity suddenly stopped, and was followed by Cai Cai's emotional voice:
"Host~you are so difficult."
Tian Nongxi: "..." She chuckled, thinking to herself that you drove me crazy and still despise me for being a lunatic.
Cai Cai said in surprise: "How can you think so, host? The fate between you and us is so deep that it is enough to move the heavens."
"What fate? Tell me in detail."
"The host is making things difficult for Cai Cai again. Poor Cai Cai follows the host to clean up his mess and is still treated like this by the host. Woo woo woo~"
Tian Nongxi frowned and asked it what trouble he had gotten himself into.
Cai Cai was silent again, and kept urging her to choose the reward, "Cai Cai doesn't want to see her colleagues being scolded~"
"I told you, I don't choose any of these. I choose you to tell me the truth. Although you can't see this world, you also know that the author of the original book has traveled through it, right?"
Endless silence...
After a long while, Cai Cai replied: "Host, have you seen him? To be honest, it was because of him that Cai Cai couldn't meet the host during this period. I miss him so much~"
Tian Nongxi couldn't help but ask, "Has this world been turned into a honeycomb?"
Caicai: "There are only two people, the host and the author."
It paused, its tone indistinguishable from a real person's: "Host, are you sure you want to choose the truth? Not only will this not help your mission, it may also prevent you from completing your mission and returning to your original world."
Tian Nongxi nodded without hesitation and said, "I will earn it sooner or later."
"If the host chooses 10 million gold, he can immediately return to his original world."
"I choose the truth."
"Host, I wonder if Z071854 has told you that if you complete the mission and return to the real world, you will receive 20 million in the real world."
“…” 20 million? ?
Tian Nongxi's pupils trembled. The idea that she had firmly held since she saw that page of paper collapsed because of the 20 million. It took her a while to find her voice: "I choose the truth." The 20 million has always been there, no more and no less, but if she came to this world without knowing anything, and returned to her original world, she would not be able to sleep all night.
"Host, you're worthy of being Cai Cai's host!" Cai Cai adjusted her mood and praised him passionately, then asked casually, "Host, do you know that this is a male-oriented story with Tian Yaozu as the protagonist?"
"certainly."
"Due to the host's insertion, the original protagonist, Tian Yaozu, lost all his charm. Readers jointly requested a replacement, but the author refused. He constantly fantasized about entering the book to help his own protagonist. His intense emotions led him to actually enter the book. This was unexpected, so we didn't notice him at first.
"Until he knew all the plot and was reused by a powerful character in the book. He took advantage of the situation and found Tian Yaozu to persuade him to follow that person. As a result, Tian Yaozu ran away from home and went to Beijing, which indirectly led to his death."
"The protagonist of the original book died mysteriously, and the world is in danger." Caicai added, "So Caicai didn't leave the host intentionally, she was just too busy~"
Tian Nongxi asked, "Can't you see it?"
"It's invisible, but even though the author is missing, the book is updating in real time. Host, we are a system, not fools."
"I'm just a dead passerby, why am I still in the book?"
"Because the host didn't die, but since the host was just a passerby, he was only mentioned briefly."
Tian Nongxi was still puzzled and asked, "Then why does this world still exist?"
"Host, you are the protagonist now." Caicai was excited, "Didn't Caicai say that~"
Tian Nongxi was silent, and the more he thought about it, the more weird it seemed.
After a long pause, she hesitantly asked the question that concerned her most: "Then... who am I?"
Cai Cai replied, "Host, you are you."
"I am—Tian Erniang?"
"You are you." Cai Cai explained, "Host, no matter who you are, you have only one goal, and that is to earn 20 million taels of gold and leave immediately~"
Despite the biting cold wind, beads of sweat formed on the tip of Tian Nongxi's nose. She wiped the sweat off, pressed her nose, and asked probingly, "Is it or isn't it?"
"...Yes." Caicai's voice suddenly lowered, and she said with deep emotion, "So Caicai said that the host has a deep connection with this world, and that the host's return here is the right time, the right place, and the right people."
Tian Nongxi had no memory of being Tian Erniang. She didn't say whether she believed it or not, but only asked, "Why me?"
"The host is the first character to awaken in this world."
"Awakening?"
"The characters who learn the truth about this world will awaken."
The curtain in the backyard was suddenly lifted, and the warmth from the smoke rushed in instantly. Tian Nongxi looked thoughtfully at Wen Tingluan who was approaching slowly.
He first walked up to Tian Nongxi, put the light pink shawl in his hand on her shoulders, and then took out a small jade bottle from his sleeve and opened it gently. The fragrant liquid in the bottle spilled onto the ground with his movement.
Tian Nongxi: "Got it, bye."
She concealed the turmoil in her heart and smiled as she looked at Wen Tingluan who was walking towards her.
Wen Tingluan lowered his eyes and looked at the steps where a few snowflakes were floating, then stood next to Tian Nongxi. The edges of his body were made furry by the snowflakes because they blocked the light, which reminded Tian Nongxi of the stand that his roommate would take out to check in every time it snowed.
She carefully sketched Wen Tingluan's facial features and figure, and decided to have a custom-made stand made for him after she left, and put it in the experimental field to accompany her in farming.
Wen Tingluan's Adam's apple rolled over as he was looked at. He reached out his hand towards Tian Nongxi, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Take me for a walk?"
After getting up with the help of force, Tian Nongxi saw an oil-paper umbrella by the door of the backyard.
She glanced at the indigo-colored oil-paper umbrella and said with a smile, "With such a beautiful umbrella, of course I have to go out."
Just as he finished speaking, the waiter's voice came through the door curtain into the backyard: "Boss, someone is looking for you."
【Author’s words】
Actually, the reason why the heroine awakens and enters the world of this book is easy to guess, but it's not suitable for this chapter, so I'll probably put it in the last chapter. Tonight, I manually added a completion mark. My friend said that she's noticed I've added a few (almost every time I buy a new cover), but this time is really different. This time, it's only a dozen chapters away from being finished (or maybe even less!)! [Glasses][Glasses][Glasses]
