Chapter 78 Engaged Elephant Herd (Revised)
Gu Yiliu saw that Dian Dian had grown a little more, now about the same height as her, and asked, "How did you feel about this upgrade?"
Before it could speak, Dian Dian pulled out a mirror and started pinching and squeezing its reflection. Gu Yiliu looked at its face and gasped.
"Wait a minute, why did you shape your face to look like mine?" she asked Diandian.
Dian Dian has now sculpted the upper half of her face. Gu Yiliu looks at his own face every day and can tell that it is indeed her.
Dian Dian's hand was already pinching the lower half of her face; it was her.
This...this is too bizarre.
Dian Dian: "I sculpted it based on your face, so it looks quite like you."
It's not just similar, it's practically identical.
Gu Yiliu thought to himself, "I'm so annoyed."
“If you don’t like it, I’ll find someone else to sculpt,” Dot Dot said. “But I still really like your face.”
It kneaded its face into a ball and then pinched and pinched it until Gu Yiliu saw it sculpt a Han Yi.
"..."
"Choose another one."
Dian Dian: "But I think you two are the prettiest, and you left the deepest impression on me. The others aren't very good-looking, and they didn't leave a deep impression on me. I didn't feel comfortable squeezing them."
Gu Yiliu's face darkened; she didn't want to listen to its excuses. The way it looked when it leveled up before was nothing like her and Han Yi's. After this leveling up, she didn't know what had happened, but Dian Dian seemed to have become much more playful.
She told it to change back quickly, "I don't believe you have to look at my face to create a face."
Dian Dian laughed and laughed again upon hearing this, but finally, under Gu Yi Liu's dark expression, she curled her face into a ball again.
The final sculpted face bears the resemblance of both Gu Yiliu and Han Yi; you can see their shadows no matter how you look at it.
"Is this alright now?" Dian Dian looked at Gu Yiliu.
“If I shrink, you can take me out and tell people I’m your and Han Yi’s child. I think everyone will believe it.”
"Then do you dare to call me 'Mom'?" Gu Yiliu really thought that Dian Dian was a naughty child.
"Yes, Mom!" Dian Dian said with a grin.
"..." Suddenly having a daughter who was the same height and size as her, Gu Yiliu had mixed feelings.
"How did you feel about this upgrade?" she asked Diandian earnestly.
Dian Dian also became serious. "That's great. I feel full of energy now. I just noticed that the positive review rate has reached 35% again. It won't be long before I get my next upgrade. Thank you, First-Class."
"I will repay you properly in the future."
Gu Yiliu smiled, "Okay, I'll remember that."
"Remember what? Who are you talking to?"
Gu Yiliu turned his head and saw Han Yi enter the room.
She didn't speak. Instead, she observed Han Yi's expression. He must have just returned from the Han family, so Han Lin must have told him.
"First-rate, are you free?"
Gu Yiliu nodded.
"Want to eat out tonight? I saw a new restaurant that opened, it looks really nice, want to go try it together?"
Gu Yiliu smiled and agreed, "Okay."
At that moment, Dian Dian jumped in and asked, "Mom, is he going to propose to you?"
"..."
Gu Yiliu still couldn't get used to it calling her "Mom," so she said, "Just call me Yiliu."
"Why has it turned into a child again?" Dian Dian is no longer in adult form, but has reverted to child form.
"I feel more connected to your mother when I call her that."
"..." The system's witty remarks are so tempting!
If he proposed to you, would you say yes?
Gu Yiliu glanced at it and said, "Guess."
"Agree, and then you can give birth to me. I really don't know how anyone else would be able to come out."
"What?"
Gu Yiliu didn't understand its meaning.
"Then I can become your daughter and appear before you."
Gu Yiliu looked at it in astonishment.
Dian Dian: "This is the benefit of this upgrade. My clone has been restored, so I can stay by your side for a long time from now on, and it won't interfere with the apocalypse."
"Actually, you don't need to stay here specifically for me."
Dian Dian responded with an "oh," sounding somewhat downcast.
There was no further communication between the individual and the system.
...
The new restaurant is indeed very stylish, with an elegant environment. As soon as you enter, you can see someone playing the piano.
Han Yi led Gu Yiliu to a private room on the second floor.
The private room has a floor-to-ceiling window, offering a perfect view of the night scene near the restaurant.
A myriad of lights came into view, their shimmering glow resembling a flowing galaxy. The faint sound of a cheerful piano drifted from downstairs, instantly lifting one's spirits.
The waiter served the dishes one by one. They were mostly Western-style dishes, but they were all delicious, especially the kimchi chicken rice. The sweet and spicy flavors exploded in my mouth, and the taste was really good.
After finishing her post-meal drink, Gu Yiliu wiped her mouth, looked up at Han Yi, and thought to herself, "Han Yi should ask his question now."
Han Yi had a feeling that Gu Yiliu had seen through something. He took a sip of water to bolster his courage and asked, "Yiliu, are you finished eating?"
Gu Yiliu nodded.
"This restaurant also offers ice cream as dessert. Would you like to try some?"
It's here. It's here.
Gu Yiliu wondered to herself what surprise Han Yi would prepare for her.
She smiled, rested her chin on her hand, and looked at him leisurely. "Would you like me to try it?"
As she had hoped, Han Yi stared blankly, seemingly not expecting her to say that. Gu Yiliu's smile widened.
Han Yi looked at Gu Yiliu's smiling face and knew that his acting skills were too poor and she had seen through him.
Han Yi smiled and made the decision for her, "Try it."
He pressed the call bell on the table.
Soon after, a waiter pushed a food cart in.
There were two scoops of ice cream on the food cart, and another item covered with a lid, but I didn't know what it was.
The waiter placed the three items on the table one by one.
"Miss……"
Han Yi waved for the waiter to leave.
"Why didn't you let her finish?" Gu Yiliu's eyes were full of interest.
Han Yi placed the covered plate in front of her.
"It's better if I say so."
Han Yi looked at Gu Yiliu with a serious expression: "Yiliu, would you be willing to open this lid and take a look?"
"What's inside?" Gu Yiliu asked.
Han Yi: "There's a ring there."
Gu Yiliu chuckled, "You just answer when I ask you? There's no surprise at all."
"Didn't you guess what I was going to do?" Han Yi knew he had a chance after hearing her say that. He asked her, "How about I ask again next time and surprise you?"
Gu Yiliu raised an eyebrow, "So the current one doesn't count?"
Han Yi: "Of course not, this time counts too. Besides, how can a proposal be successful on the first try? Before a grand performance, there needs to be a rehearsal. The same goes for a proposal. This time is a rehearsal. It is my honor to have your favor and to be engaged to you. I wonder if I have the honor to ask you to open this lid and see the wedding ring I have chosen?"
He paused, then added, "If you don't like it, you can choose another one."
Gu Yiliu's lips curled up; she liked this version of events. There was a strange seriousness to it. At least he knew how to talk.
She didn't speak, but simply reached out and lifted the child's arm.
Inside, a gold ring with a bright luster rests on the band. The band is engraved with intricate patterns, and the entire ring is large and exquisite.
Gu Yiliu took it out and tried it on. He couldn't help but grin from ear to ear.
Han Yi knew she liked it, and looking at her, he couldn't help but smile.
"I agree to the engagement." Gu Yiliu gave Han Yi a definite answer only after trying on enough rings.
Han Yi quickly sat up straight.
"Take a date and I'll let my parents know," Gu Yiliu said. "The rest is up to you."
"good."
"Such a happy occasion, and you're not even ordering some drinks!" Gu Yiliu touched his ring again. He was indeed a little excited, and a few drinks would be perfect to celebrate.
Han Yi chuckled, "Aren't you afraid of getting drunk?"
Gu Yiliu glanced at him. She had only been drunk once.
Han Yi and she were thinking the same thing. Their hearts fluttered, and he coughed, "I was just thinking that we should eat our fill before we talk about business. Now that we've finished talking about business, we should definitely congratulate each other."
He pressed the call bell again and ordered a bottle of wine.
Gu Yiliu wasn't a good drinker, so she had no recollection of how she got home.
She woke up in her own bed. But according to Dian Dian, she didn't throw up this time.
Gu Yiliu touched her slightly sore lips and rubbed her head vigorously. She had a general recollection of everything that had happened last night.
Gu Yiliu blushed. "Click, you weren't looking this time, were you?"
Dian Dian snorted, "I didn't see it, but I know you almost gave birth to me."
Gu Yiliu shuddered with disgust. Dian Dian was getting worse and worse, so she cut off the conversation.
After sobering up, Gu Yiliu informed his parents that he was getting engaged and asked them to wait for Han Yi to come and deliver the gifts.
The engagement was a grand affair, with both sets of parents meeting for the first time to discuss not only the engagement but also the wedding date.
The nearest date is six months from now.
Gu Yiliu was very satisfied with the timing.
The day after their engagement, Gu Yiliu left Nanxiao County.
I told Han Yi before I left.
Han Yi: "Is it... the system?"
Gu Yiliu nodded, "I can't take you."
Han Yi understood. "Then I'll go back and wait for you."
Gu Yiliu received a request for help from a migrating elephant.
At the engagement ceremony, she received a request for help from the elephants, who wanted her to give them some water and help one of them trim its foot.
She only found her way here after she finished her work, following the information about the elephant.
She appeared near the elephant herd.
The landscape is arid land and dense forest. A herd of elephants is resting in front of a dried-up stream.
Gu Yilu's appearance caused the elephant herd to become restless, constantly pacing in place.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft?" Who is this person? How did they suddenly appear here?
Gu Yiliu saw a male elephant and asked the leading female elephant.
After a long while, Gu Yiliu finally heard the lead female elephant's voice, "Puff... puff puff!"
It might be... Officer Gu, as the cuckoo mentioned!
Gu Yiliu understood immediately; it was all thanks to the cuckoo. She thanked the cuckoo once again in her heart.
"Pfft pfft pfft?" Are you Officer Gu?
The lead female elephant asked the question cautiously.
If it were Officer Gu, he would understand what it was saying; if not, it was probably someone poaching them. The female elephant raised her trunk—a signal within the herd. If something seemed amiss, run away and ignore every single elephant.
Gu Yiliu nodded under the timid gaze of the female elephant. "How much water do you need? And whose toes do you need trimmed?"
As she asked, she instructed Dian Dian to prepare water.
"Puff puff puff." The lead female elephant cried out a few times.
We need 20 liters of water; we'll drink it sparingly. Help me with my pedicure; my foot is injured by a nail, and the pain is getting worse, I can't walk. There are hunters chasing us.
