The friendliness is so dark that you can't see clearly at night.
Interjections can't save the vicious female supporting character from slipping up and down.
"Gou An!"
What exploded in my ears was He Ran's roar.
A cat in the avatar system was jumping up and down like a groundhog, asking her if she was really determined to cancel the engagement. Was there something wrong with her brain or was she just playing hard to get?
Gou An forced himself to look up at the top of the head of He Jinxing, the only quiet person at the scene. Not surprisingly, he found that the man seemed to still be smiling, as if he could tolerate everything.
But a number "-5" appeared above his head like Mario's mushroom cloud, and the number behind the friend level turned into "10".
【Friendship: 10. 】
Although he didn't take this broken system seriously at first, he was still a little upset. He watched his friendship points drop helplessly, and now Gou An was so nervous that his throat was blocked.
What's wrong! Why did she lose 5 points in a flash! Didn't she confess and surrender herself in tears? Why do you still hate her? This point is too easy to lose! Will it be gone if she does stupid things a few more times?
[Jiao Jiao: If you score less than 10 points, you will have no chances... But there is still hope now. He probably doesn't think your lying is a big deal since it has nothing to do with him. At most, he thinks you are a little ungrateful.]
………………Just because he doesn’t know how to appreciate a favor, he will be deducted 5 points. Is this man so narrow-minded? ! ! ! Think of a solution, Fat Cat! ?
The friendship level has turned black, so dark that I can’t see clearly at night QAQ!
[Jiao Jiao: There is no other way. Why don’t you just stop talking and cut your losses? You are much cuter when you are mute. ]
Gou An had a blank expression on her face. The only thing she showed was that she tried desperately to break free from He Ran who was still holding her tightly, but to no avail.
She could only lean her upper body back and silently shrink towards the door of her house. Then she heard a man's voice in her ear: "My savior... why are you suddenly talking about these old things of Ah Ran?"
Gou An was busy pretending to be mute in an attempt to make himself more adorable. When he was suddenly asked a question, he was a little slow to react.
He Jinxing obviously didn't plan to ask her any more questions, but looked at He Ran——
The man's eyes were calm, without anger or surprise, as dark as a pool of stagnant water, without any emotional fluctuations.
If Gou An hadn't seen his favorability rating drop without hesitation, he might have thought: Mr. He is so kind and easy to talk to.
They are all fake.
This man kills invisibly.
Gou An paid the price for her impulsiveness. Her tongue was tied and she stared at He Ran. Seeing that he didn't react for a long time, she reached out and pinched him.
The latter hissed and lowered his head, but he did not move at all. He just looked at her with a frown, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
During the silent confrontation between the two, it was He Jinxing who became impatient first.
The man frowned slightly, raised his hand, and untied his tie.
"Ah Ran, you are not a child anymore. Did you do something to upset Miss Gou? If you did something wrong, just apologize."
He Ran's eyes flickered as he listened to the man's steady voice. He hesitated for a moment, but finally responded obediently.
Gou An couldn't help but looked at him with a surprised look: What are you saying "hmm" for? I did something wrong, didn't I admit it? You're just trying to climb up the ladder, right? What about the agreed cancellation of the engagement? He Ran looked back silently.
Not far away, after getting a satisfactory answer, He Jinxing slightly raised the edge of the umbrella in his hand. Gou An was still busy staring at He Ran when he heard the man ask again: "Or does Miss Gou have another boy she likes?"
Gou An: “…”
What kind of question is this? Gou An: "No, no!"
Gou An answered while nervously looking at the friendliness level above the man's head, ready to jump up and run away as soon as it showed signs of falling below 10.
Fortunately, it froze at the number "10" and did not move, and Gou An breathed a sigh of relief.
"I just think there's no need for the kindness of the grandfathers in the previous life to become a marriage burden for the next generation... Just write off the lie I told you about saving your life. Oh, if you think He Ran's life is not as precious as Mr. He's, you can also give the Gou family some money and then we can all disband."
That's how TV dramas are played anyway.
By the time Gou An realized that she had farted something terrible, it was too late to be afraid. She saw He Jinxing and He Ran both fell silent, and the uncle and nephew looked at her quietly at the same time.
It's like seeing a patient.
Perhaps out of sympathy for the patient, the friendship level of both of them remained unchanged.
That means it's not a big deal.
The men of the He family really regard money as dirt.
The sound of raindrops was the only background music.
The splashing raindrops had soaked the little girl's calves as she stood on the steps.
She moved her toes hidden in her slippers uncomfortably, and stared intently at a raindrop that hit the edge of the black umbrella in the man's hand and splashed everywhere.
But the man's lips moved, his dark eyes curved slightly, and he seemed to be smiling: "Ms. Gou, how much do you think is worth my father's life?"
He spoke to her in such a nonchalant and teasing tone that it was easy for her to let down her guard. Gou An blinked and said, "Five million?"
"I know which way the bank door opens better than you do. Do you want me to show you the way?" He Jinxing said, "It's better to do something bigger than robbing."
Gou An: “…”
Of course Gou An didn't know at this time that when Mr. He was in school, he was not only the first in his studies, but also the first in fighting and various hooligan behaviors.
I have restrained myself since I grew up, and now I am just releasing a little bit of my nature.
It was easy to shock Miss Gou.
She was silent for a moment, but couldn't suppress her curiosity: "So what do you mean?"
Want to get something for free?
If you don't answer this question well, "The head of the He family is an unfilial son" will be on the front page of the news tomorrow.
Gou An was beginning to worry for the second time that he might be murdered to silence him, but he heard the man sneer.
"When you get married to A'ran, you can ask the old man in the name of your granddaughter-in-law."
“…”
Gou An lost.
This person's mentality is as steady as that of Buddha. He doesn't play by the rules at all and always talks to his own mind.
The older you get, the wiser you get. He is so cruel, I can’t beat him - Gou An thought calmly.
[Jiaojiao: You actually still tried to mess with him? Has every ant ever imagined that they could stretch out their legs and trip an elephant to death? ]
After He Jinxing left, only Gou An and He Ran were left in front of the gate of Gou's house.
Obviously, Gou An was not the only one who was afraid of He Jinxing and was still in fear of his appearance.
Even Young Master He Ran, who is usually regarded as the little bully in the circle, became dumb like a mouse seeing a cat when he met his uncle, and he only spoke a few words from beginning to end.
Now that the low pressure had disappeared, Gou An couldn't help but look up and glance at him. He was a little surprised to find that he was staring at him with a look of deep hatred.
"?"
What happened? As they looked at each other, the number above He Ran's head, which represented the friendship level, flashed a few times, and then dropped two more, [Friendship Level: 35], which made Gou An feel that one of her and this broken system must be a cosmic-level enemy.
The big hand holding her arm tightened silently. The strength of the young man's hand when playing basketball was so great that Gou An said "Hey" in a delicate voice: "He Ran, you hurt me."
He Ran shook her arm away with a cold face.
The force was quite strong, and Gou An stumbled back two steps before she finally broke free from He Ran's arms. The damp air mixed with water vapor hit her face, and she shivered and pulled her coat closer.
Seeing her actions like this, He Ran pursed his lips slightly——
It's nothing else, it's just that I originally wanted to run out without wearing a coat, but was stopped and put on the coat reluctantly, and when I met my uncle, I still didn't forget to act pretentiously.
He couldn't hold her down just now, and this woman was trying to get out like a loach. Now that her uncle has just left, she remembers to put on her clothes and not move?
"No matter what you're thinking, try not to talk to my uncle in the future." He Ran said coldly with a blank expression.
"What's wrong?" Gou An disagreed, "Do you think I'm not qualified? Your uncle doesn't think so. He likes me very much. Didn't you hear me? He knows that I lied to all of you, but he still cordially invited me to be your granddaughter-in-law——"
It’s not that “hospitable”.
If she hadn't seen that [Friendliness: 10], maybe she could have deceived herself.
But He Ran can't see, so you can lie to him.
As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, He Ran's face became even uglier.
"Gou An, do you have any shame?"
[Friendship: 35] flashed, and the next second——
【Friendship level: 33】
OK.
It fell again, right?
Drop it.
Drop it as hard as possible.
Who are you trying to scare?
Let the rainstorm come more violently! Being stabbed by the green human body scorer, Gou An curled his lips absurdly: "How am I shameless? Yes, yes, I was wrong to impersonate you, deceive your feelings, and delay your search for a lifesaver, but you have found a real benefactor, and I have apologized to you, and even offered to punish myself - that is, to give up our engagement - why do you still scold me? This is at my doorstep, how dare you stand at my doorstep and scold me?"
The more Gou An spoke, the more he felt that he was right.
She apologized, and apologizing means she is a good child, so why is she still being scolded!
Just when she was about to ask Young Master He to stop acting and quickly take out the agreement from his pocket to sign so that everyone could quickly go their separate ways, she found that He Ran was staring at the corner of her lips and his mind was empty again.
The gaze was eerie and she felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.
"What are you looking at?"
"I'll pretend you didn't say anything tonight." He Ran said stiffly, "Gou An, I know you're unhappy about what happened to Lu Wan last week, but don't be so righteous when you speak. After all, you're the person who feels the most sorry for her in the world."
“…”
"Last week on the cruise ship, I didn't know that Lu Wan was the one who saved me from the clutches of human traffickers, but now I know the truth. She has had a hard time these years. She shouldn't have had such a hard time after receiving the He family's thank-you gift."
“…”
"And all you lost was a cat—"
“…”
Hearing these words, Gou An's lips finally moved.
She knew that what He Ran said was right, and she felt guilty towards Lu Wan because of her selfishness.
But he couldn't say that.
Can't.
After a while, Gou An just whispered back, "What do you mean it's just a cat? That's my banana."
The ranking in my family: my mom, my dad, Ade (the maid), and Jiaojiao.
Gou Xun (younger brother, dear one) is always ranked fifth.
That's my banana.
A stupid cat who only knows how to sleep and let his owner open cans.
It died, but what's wrong with it?
It's my fault.
Jiaojiao is just my cat.
Gou An took a deep breath, looking at the handsome face in front of him, and felt a little powerless——
Why do you have to lump everything together? I hate him so much.
"He Ran, have you said enough?"
He Ran's voice stopped abruptly.
Gou An paused, and despite being extremely angry, he restrained the aggressiveness on his face and replaced it with a calm tone: "I have already expressed my apologies. Now I will ask you one last time, didn't you have something to tell me tonight?"
"Gou An, do you really like to get to the bottom of things?"
"I'm sorry, young people are just full of curiosity."
He Ran's face was gloomy. "Tomorrow... No, I'll tell you when I get back to school."
“…”
"Anyway, I'll just pretend that what happened tonight didn't happen."
"How many times do you need to emphasize the same thing——"
"Don't bother Lu Wan anymore, and don't try to challenge my bottom line again."
"?"
After He Ran finished speaking, he didn't give Gou An any chance to perform again. He turned around and rushed into the rain under the night lights like Shancai in "Meteor Garden".
“…”
Gou An sighed at the dense silver rain night where the road ahead was almost invisible.
“So tired.”
Men and stuff, ugh.
【Jiao Jiao: What are you tired of? 】
"Aren't you tired of entertaining the young version of the overbearing president and the real overbearing president in one night?"
[Jiao Jiao: What you mean by "socializing" is that you never rest for a moment, you are busy and you frequently have your friendship points deducted for the whole night? 】
“…”
"Shut down the system. Shut down useless systems. Seal the system. Exit the system. Force quit the program..."
"ctrl+shfit+esc."
[Banana: The password is invalid! The holy flame is shining! Meow! Ranked fifth! Banana is the best! ]
"Shut up, Fat Cat! What decent cat would watch its master get deducted points for a whole night and then just shout slogans? 'I see the ebb and flow of his love'? What a good name, but the ebb is a sharp drop, but what about the rise? Where does it rise? It's outrageous! Eat less canned food and read more books! Which good article starts with a crazy deduction in the fourth chapter! Have you ever seen a system article written like this!"
【Jiao Jiao: Did I persuade you to stop talking just now? 】
"I did persuade him, but my tone was not firm enough."
【Jiao Jiao: After all, it’s hard to persuade a ghost who wants to die with kind words. 】
“…”
Damn.
