"Don't you agree?"
As if hinting at something, the original plot setting indicated that the feng shui master was indeed a mediocre person. Therefore, before entering the Zhang Mansion plot, the other party had to complete the task to make up for his lack of skills before the Zhang Mansion plot could begin; otherwise, it would have the opposite effect.
However, the more this was the case, the more the other players began to feel a chill run down their spines when Young Master Zhang asked that question.
Everyone: Why does it feel like the villains already know about this, and might have even killed the other party?
After finishing his speech, the young master of the Zhang family looked at everyone's frightened expressions and was quite satisfied. The only person he was dissatisfied with was Mingmei, who sat there with a blank expression.
Her delicate and beautiful face did not show the panic and fear he had imagined.
But in fact—
Mingmei: She appeared completely calm on the surface, but inside she was panicking like crazy!
【Oh no! What should I do? Look at these idiot players! The villain even self-destructed, and they didn't even notice. Do you think I can even sell my lunchbox?】
Gui Gui: [?]
No, why are you still worried about selling boxed lunches at this point, host?
"I'm stuffed!"
Just as the atmosphere in the room reached an eerie peak, Master Zhang suddenly shouted, like a needle puncturing a bulging balloon, instantly waking everyone up.
"Father, you've eaten your fill, so please go back and rest."
Young Master Zhang turned to look at Master Zhang, and after he finished speaking, the other man nodded repeatedly and left again under the guidance of his servants.
Lu Xiaoyao was stunned again!
"Shouldn't he say something?"
Lu Xiaoyao opened her eyes wide in horror. Wasn't it in the previous storyline that Master Zhang asked her to stay overnight because of the rain and darkness?
Right now, this old man has shown himself, eating and drinking the whole time, and then left without saying a word?!
Not only Lu Xiaoyao, but the other three players were also quite surprised.
Hu Yue, who had been praised by Mingmei earlier, was now completely confused.
There's no reason why she wouldn't know something that Lu Xiaoyao already knows.
However, as soon as Master Zhang left, the food on the table was cleared away, as if everyone had eaten just like Master Zhang.
"It's getting late..."
After Master Zhang left, Young Master Zhang also stood up, and the others followed suit.
Then Young Master Zhang walked straight up to Mingmei, extended his hand and said, "It's getting late, shall I take you home?"
Everyone: ??
Mingmei tilted her head and looked at the others, especially Lu Xiaoyao, who grabbed Mingmei's arm with a face full of rejection!
In Lu Xiaoyao's opinion, the villain's plan is definitely to separate the players and defeat them one by one!
She thought: Is the villain going to drag the young lady out the door and kill her right away?
Perhaps it was because Lu Xiaoyao's facial expressions were too rich; in any case, while the villain, Young Master Zhang, didn't understand, Mingmei certainly did.
Lu Xiaoyao must be worried about her personal safety, right?
"Young Master Zhang, you're being too polite. Why did you send her home alone? Am I not a human being?"
Although Lu Xiaoyao was timid, it seemed that her loud voice gave her courage, and she grabbed Mingmei's arm, not allowing them to leave.
Then, Young Master Zhang just stood there smiling and didn't say anything. He just looked at her, and the murderous aura in his eyes scared Lu Xiaoyao away once again.
Courage lasts no more than three seconds.
Silently releasing her arms, Lu Xiaoyao gave Mingmei a half-crying smile and waved, "Well... sister, take care?"
Mingmei: ...
Ha, what a waste of the emotion that had just welled up in her heart.
"It's getting late. I've had the servants arrange a room for you in the backyard. You should rest now."
Master Zhang's original lines have now been spoken by Young Master Zhang.
Moreover, this person is a true hypocrite. It was dark when he took Mingmei home, but Lu Xiaoyao was resting here.
"What happened?" Hu Yue walked over to Lu Xiaoyao and asked in a low voice, "What role card did that young lady take?"
The three people who weren't present earlier didn't know that Young Master Zhang had declared Mei his "true love."
"It seems to be someone Young Master Zhang likes."
"Holy crap?" Now it was Hu Yue's turn to be surprised. Had her memory gotten that bad lately?
Not only do you not remember that an additional player character was added in the update, but you also don't remember that this player character is related to the villain.
That shouldn't be the case.
Hu Yue chewed on her fingers, frowning as she looked towards Mingmei, deep in thought. Mingmei, too, was reluctant to leave; she hadn't sold any of her boxed lunches yet!
If the villain kicks them out, and they come back and close the door, the game will probably be over before dawn tomorrow.
It had absolutely nothing to do with her from beginning to end.
"What's wrong?"
Without giving Mingmei any chance to refuse, the servants had already brought an umbrella, and they stood at the door holding the umbrella, watching Mingmei.
"I haven't eaten enough, and now I'm hungry again. I'm so hungry I can't walk."
When Mingmei, with a blank expression, gave such a reason for not wanting to leave, everyone was stunned.
Is this reasonable?
Players: Hey! Staying is perfectly reasonable!
Mingmei gave the young master of the Zhang family a fawning smile. It was a smile that the expressionless man was trying his best to show, and it even had a hint of naivety.
Mingmei: Boss, wait a minute?
Young Master Zhang: ……
Although he didn't say anything, Mingmei saw that the other person closed the umbrella.
"Are you hungry? I still have some boxed lunches here."
This time, whether to delay Mingmei's departure or to keep her here, all four people present nodded immediately upon hearing Mingmei's words, agreeing in unison: "Hungry! Food!"
