Chapter 7: Divination or curse on the seventh day of madness?
Oh my God, could Xu Xiaonian be trying to predict whether Nangong Lie loves her by counting the number of petals?
Tan Mo opened the curtains with another rustling sound.
Sure enough, Xu Xiaonian was squatting on the ground, holding a half-picked rose in her hand.
Listen carefully, she kept muttering: "He loves me, he will love me tomorrow, he will love me even more the day after tomorrow, he will love me even more the day after tomorrow... He must love me."
My goodness, is this divination or a curse?
As Xu Xiaonian finished her last sentence, only the remains of the rose petals in her hand remained.
When the evening breeze blows, the yellow stamens tremble.
The system suddenly said, "It's quite bald."
Tan Mo: ...You are quite humorous.
After Xu Xiaonian finished all this, he stood up contentedly and turned sideways to go back, but he didn't expect that a dark shadow was leaning against the window silently.
Xu Xiaonian screamed and backed away.
After calling out twice, and seeing that it was Tan Mo, she yelled, "Assistant Tan! Do you know this is scary?"
It was even more frightening when I saw the big durian in Tan Mo's hand.
Tan Mo opened the glass door and let her in, smiling and saying, "I'm not afraid of disturbing you from cursing Nangong Lie'ai..."
Glancing at Xu Xiaonian's unhappy face, Tan Mo realized she had said the wrong thing and immediately changed her words, "No, I mean I can't disturb your thoughts. If I do, it will affect Master Nangong's love for you..."
Then you'll be blaming me.
Tan Mo was too embarrassed to say this, but Xu Xiaonian obviously didn't understand her true meaning. Only then did she seem a little embarrassed and gathered her hair. "Did you see everything?"
"Why are you picking flowers in the garden to do this?" With the help of the light in the house, Tan Mo took a quick look and found that seven or eight roses had already been destroyed.
The small empty space really looks like a bald man's bald head, and the ground is covered with a layer of white and pink petals. When the gardener sees it tomorrow, he will be heartbroken.
"Because I have plucked all the roses and Chinese roses in the house."
Tan Mo, who was about to throw the petals on the ground into the flower bed to destroy the evidence, said:...Okay, don't destroy the evidence, just wait for the gardener to scold you.
Xu Xiaonian obviously didn't realize this. She walked into the house. Tan Mo observed silence in front of the petals for a few seconds and closed the window.
The system reminded Tan Mo: "Host, now is the best time to provoke Xu Xiaonian's emotions. Remember, your conversation must be about Nangong Lie. Anyone else's conversation will not count!"
"I understand." Although Tan Mo said this, she was still a little troubled about how to start. After all, her relationship with Xu Xiaonian was average, and it was not yet to the point where they could talk about personal feelings.
Xu Xiaonian was the first to speak: "Nangong Lie asked you to come over, right?"
Her confident tone made Tan Mo, a middle school student with a bad temper who liked to play devil's advocate, want to reply: I didn't expect you to be so confident.
But this is an opportunity to make money!
Tan Mo suppressed this thought and changed her tone, saying, "Ms. Xu is truly as foresighted as a god."
This seemed to signal Xu Xiaonian's victory in this cold war. Her originally gloomy expression brightened up. "You think you can just use this to coax me? I won't forgive him."
Tan Mo: ...Xu Xiaonian is so good at imagining things?
But she was very good at taking advantage of others. Seeing Xu Xiaonian staring at the durian in her hand, she said, "Are you hungry? Let's eat and talk."
Xu Xiaonian was indeed hungry. After a whole day of cold war, she hadn't eaten much, so she let Tan Mo pull her to sit on the sofa in the living room.
Tan Mo tears durian with bare hands.
At this time, the system came online again, "Host, quickly ask her about Nangong Lie. I will start the countdown from this second."
"How much per minute?"
"Currently showing a question mark, unable to detect."
Tan Mo:??? What the hell.
But now is not the time to ask about this in detail.
While Tan Mo was still thinking about the topic, Xu Xiaonian took the initiative and said reservedly: "You said my relationship, before I met him, my life was very hard."
"What happened after you met him?"
Xu Xiaonian: "It's even more bitter."
Tan Mo: "…….Why did you quarrel today?"
Xu Xiaonian finally found an outlet to vent her suppressed desire to talk after a day. She said without hesitation, "It's Nangong Lie again. This morning, we took a different route to work, and unexpectedly, this road passed by his high school alma mater."
"Do you know what he said as he passed by?"
Tan Mo shook her head cooperatively and handed Xu Xiaonian a piece of durian.
The system's excited voice was in my ears: "30,000 per minute!"
Tan Mo's heart trembled.
Xu Xiaonian was also heartbroken. "He initially reminisced about his high school days with me, saying how much fun he had with so many of his friends. In his heart, these were his lifelong best friends, and they would always hold a special place in his heart."
"I saw him reminiscing about the past with such high spirits, so I curiously asked him who these friends were."
"He actually said A Qian!"
The system interrupted: "50,000 per minute!"
"Oh my God!" Tan Mo was surprised by the number.
Xu Xiaonian thought Tan Mo was sympathizing with her and slapped her thigh, "You also think Nangong Lie deserves to be scolded!"
"A Qian is..." Tan Mo felt embarrassed to ruin the current atmosphere, but she really didn't know who this person was, so she dragged out the words.
Xu Xiaonian didn't notice and slapped her thigh again, "Who else could it be? It's Nangong Lie's childhood sweetheart, they're inseparable!"
After saying that, she bit off a piece of durian viciously.
System: "80,000 per minute. Congratulations to the host for reaching 60,000. Keep up the good work."
Ah this...
It’s easy to earn over 10,000 yuan per hour!
Tan Mo was full of motivation, whether from the perspective of making money or because she was angry at what Xu Xiaonian said.
She put herself in Xu Xiaonian's shoes, indignant. "He deserves to be scolded! He's already with you, so why is he bringing up childhood sweethearts? Any girl would be angry if she heard a guy say that."
If Tan Mo remembered correctly, this childhood sweetheart had always liked Nangong Lie in the novel and was a vicious female supporting character.
But the vicious female supporting character hasn't appeared yet, and Nangong Lie, this love troublemaker, has to stir up trouble in this good pot of porridge. Isn't that just disgusting?
"If you ask me, you didn't scold me enough during the day. A man like this won't know how to cherish you unless you give him some strong medicine!"
Xu Xiaonian suddenly held Tan Mo's hand and said, "Assistant Tan, I didn't expect you to be my soulmate."
System: "100,000 per minute, host, please work harder."
Faced with the pie falling from the sky, Tan Mo pinched her thigh to prevent herself from getting lost.
She also didn't expect Xu Xiaonian to agree so much with what she said.
"I just feel that he doesn't love me, so I'm counting petals here. Metaphysics tells me that Nangong Lie still loves me. Assistant Tan, do you think he still loves me?" Xu Xiaonian asked.
Tan Mo said in a tone of dismay, "Love! How could he love you? Break up with him now, kick him out, and find someone who truly loves you. With your looks, you can pick any wolf or puppy you want."
This was the answer based on the previous train of thought. Tan Mo was already looking forward to the wonderful voice of the system telling her how much money she had earned.
However, this time, the system responded: "-100 per minute."
Tan Mo:??? How can this thing have negative numbers?
System: "Because the heroine Xu Xiaonian is dissatisfied with your suggestion, this answer makes her feel hopeless. What we need is emotional fluctuation."
Asking Xu Xiaonian to break up actually made her feel so disheartened? Tan Mo was very puzzled.
However, when Tan Mo looked over again, she did see Xu Xiaonian's face was as pale as paper and she was in tears.
She tried to make amends: "Even though you can choose any one, they may not be as good as Nangong Lie. Can you also not break up?"
System: "2000 per minute."
Tan Mo: ...
"Soulmate, I know you understand me." Xu Xiaonian wiped the corners of her eyes, "Do you think Nangong Lie loves me?"
Tan Mo: "He...he loves you very much?"
System: "80,000 per minute."
Tan Mo: ...
Then Xu Xiaonian and Tan Mo explained how much Nangong Lie loved her and what things he had done for her that touched her.
An hour later, Xu Xiaonian was so thirsty from talking that she had finished her durian, so she drank some water to moisten her throat.
Then he grabbed Tan Mo's hand and asked, "He's always so nice to me, but why did he call me Qian this morning? Tan Zhiyin, do you think he loves me?"
Tan Mo: ...Oh my God, I wish I could be stabbed to death by the durian shell.
After being forced to listen to Xu Xiaonian's repeated narration of their lingering love story, and being asked hundreds of times whether Nangong Lie still loved her, Tan Mo felt dejected and pale.
The system sighed wearily, "Women in love really talk a lot. My ears are almost callused."
"However, congratulations to the host, you just made 630,000. I won't report the decimals at the end."
Tan Mo, who was walking towards the study upstairs, was not happy at all. "This is all my hard-earned money, as well as the mental compensation. Is it easy for me?"
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the door of the study on the second floor. Tan Mo knocked on the door, but no one answered. She didn't care and just pushed the door open and went in.
In the room, Nangong Lie sat at the desk, holding a pen intently, not knowing what he was writing.
Nangong Lie, who was working hard, waited until Tan Mo walked to the desk. He looked up and glanced at her, then leaned back in fright, and the stool made a harsh sound as it scraped against the floor.
"Assistant Tan! You scared me! What's wrong with you? Why did you come in without my permission?"
Tan Mo ignored him and looked down at the paper on the table. She originally thought that Nangong Lie was working at his desk and was about to praise him for finally acting like a domineering CEO, but when her eyes met the A4 paper full of words, she was a little dumbfounded.
It read: Nangong Lie loves Xu Xiaonian, Nangong Lie loves Xu Xiaonian, Nangong Lie loves Xu Xiaonian, Nangong Lie loves Xu Xiaonian...
I wrote it from beginning to end, and wrote several more.
Tan Mo stretched out her hand to count. Nangong Lie, still in shock, threw himself on the table, covered the A4 paper with his arms, and raised his head and shouted, "Don't look, don't look."
He probably felt ashamed too, and his face flushed red.
"Are you trying to follow what they say on the Internet: writing your partner's name 1001 times will win you back?" Tan Mo was incredulous.
"Of course not," Nangong Lie denied, "It's 10,001 times."
Tan Mo: ...
"Anyway, you are not allowed to look!" Nangong Lie said viciously.
What a primary school chicken boss.
Just don’t look at it, Tan Mo also got goose bumps on her arms.
One of them used metaphysics to predict in the garden whether Nangong Lie loved her or not, and the other wrote several notes in the study saying that he loved Xu Xiaonian.
You know what, Xu Xiaonian and he are really a perfect match.
Tan Mo said, "Seven characters in one sentence, and a character like 'lie' has many strokes. Boss, your hands must be sore, right?"
Nangong Lie’s fingers were twitching from writing too much: …
If it weren't for his grandfather backing Tan Mo, he would have fired Tan Mo long ago.
Nangong Lie was filled with resentment. He straightened up, put one hand in his trouser pocket, and regained his stern expression.
"Assistant Tan, how could you enter my study without my permission?"
Tan Mo's eyes almost rolled up to the sky at his arrogant look, but... her job was in his hands.
Tan Mo said, "Then I'll apologize to you, go out, and do it again?"
Nangong Lie snorted coldly.
Tan Mo turned around and left, closing the door behind her.
She used all her strength outside the door and yelled at the top of her lungs, "I'm sorry, President Nangong. I shouldn't have entered without permission when you were writing that you loved Miss Xu Xiaonian."
“Oh, you asked me what President Nangong wrote?”
"It's nothing special, just write 'Nangong Lie loves Xu Xiaonian, Nangong Lie loves Xu Xiaonian...'"
Before he could say a few words, Nangong Lie opened the door in anger and said, "Enough!"
"Is that enough?" Tan Mo asked innocently, "Are you sure my apology is sufficient? If you are not satisfied, I can continue."
"No need, just get in here."
"How could I possibly do such a difficult move as rolling? President Nangong, are you being sarcastic to me?" Tan Mo smiled. "If that's the case, I can continue to apologize."
After that, Tan Mochao shouted from the corridor window, "Nangong Lie loves Xu Xiao..."
"Assistant Tan!" Nangong Lie interrupted directly, gritting his teeth and saying kindly, "I invite you in."
