Chapter 13 Komura, Be My Dog
Now, only Yu Naixin and the paper doll boy remained in the tailor shop.
The paper doll boy's emotions can be described as quite unstable.
He truly never imagined that when he was being questioned by other villagers as he always was, someone would actually speak up for him.
Yu Naixin openly and honestly took the blame upon herself, making excuses for him and telling them that he had not done anything wrong.
Mingming... Mingming used to take it all for granted no matter what bad things happened in the village, whether it was a family in the east losing a chopstick, a child in the west getting sick, a family in the north not cooking their lunch properly, or a family in the south having a nightmare.
Everyone felt that as long as he stayed in Cocoon Village, he would bring misfortune and disaster to the entire village.
However, Yu Naixin made it clear that she did not see him that way.
Yu Naixin is different from everyone else, from everyone he has ever met before!
The paper boy trembled as if he were having an epileptic seizure, his paper body swinging rapidly and violently in the air, making a rustling sound.
Yu Naixin estimated that if the paper doll boy trembled like a gentle breeze when he was being scolded and criticized by the neighbors, then he was now trembling like a level two typhoon.
Yu Naixin even wondered if he would shake her to pieces.
That would be wonderful!
However, it turns out that the paper doll boy's body structure was actually quite sturdy.
He was trembling so violently that two tears welled up in each of his clear black and white eyes. These tears were far more intense than the ones Yu Naixin had seen during the first simulation. They quickly streamed down his cheeks and dripped to the ground.
"Thank you..." The paper-figure boy's voice was extremely hoarse, choking as he repeatedly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Miss Yu... thank you!..."
Wow, this newbie's got some skills! He managed to get rid of two strong male guests so easily, leaving only the weakest one for a one-on-one battle!
[It's not easy for a paper doll to shed tears; its affection level must be over 80%, right?]
[Oh my gosh, the female guest stood up for the male guest who was dressed as a paper doll, and won his heart! How sweet!]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 6 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "看看看乐子吃吃糖"!]
[I have to say, this paper doll is really easy to win over. Newcomers definitely have some hidden perks. If this newcomer had chosen the paper doll as her ideal man from the start, wouldn't the difficulty of the whole show have been significantly reduced? Why did she have to run around and attract all three male guests at once!]
[I always thought this newcomer was just a troublemaker, but it turns out she's a bit of a wolf in sheep's clothing? Could she really win over this paper-doll male guest to 100% favorability?!]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 5 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "文似看山不喜平"!]
Suddenly, the program team's cheerful congratulatory notification sound rang in her ears. Yu Naixin opened the bullet screen interface and found that she had received 11 Sweet Coins.
Sure enough, consciously creating some sweet interactions did work.
During the three simulations, except for the time when she was on the verge of death and the audience showered her with coins, the only other time she received "sweet coins" was when she had intimate contact with the male guests.
With these 11 Sweet Coins, at least she had enough money to pay the production team's 10 Sweet Coins "life-saving fee" on her first day on this trashy dating show.
After turning off the bullet screen, Yu Naixin took advantage of the paper doll boy's emotional turmoil to ask him another question that he should be able to answer accurately.
"How could your neighbors treat you like this!" Yu Naixin seemed indignant and said, "Did you offend them before?"
"No, no!" The paper-figure boy shook his head violently, as if he wanted to shake his head off. "I have never done anything bad in Cocoon Village!"
As if afraid that Yu Naixin would have a bad impression of him, the paper doll boy hurriedly explained, "Because the day I was born in Cocoon Village was the same day that the Mountain God punished me, causing the gray fog to envelop and imprison the entire village."
"So the people of Cocoon Village think I'm a jinx, that I bring bad luck and cause suffering to Cocoon Village..."
“But I really haven’t done anything bad!” the paper doll boy emphasized again. “I stay in the tailor shop all day long. Except for the fifteenth of each month when I have to go out to attend the mountain god’s wedding ceremony, I almost never go out, and I don’t have any contact with anyone in the village!”
"Even when I was participating in the mountain god's wedding ceremony, I stayed alone in a corner next to the altar, and the other villagers all avoided me and kept their distance!"
Seeing the paper doll boy's expression, as if he wanted to cut open his heart to show her, Yu Naixin nodded, responding with a seemingly serious but actually perfunctory reply: "Okay, I understand."
Having received Yu Naixin's affirmation, the paper doll boy was greatly encouraged, and his entire mental state changed. He no longer hunched his shoulders and drooped his head, but subconsciously straightened his back.
The paper doll boy, like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, wanted to show Yu Naixin his best side.
Yu Naixin slightly looked away.
That's so offensive...
Yu Naixin could clearly feel that this time, the paper doll boy's affection for her had increased much more than the last time she had praised his craftsmanship and the beauty of the clothes he made.
Since this is a dating reality show where participants need to engage in sweet interactions with the male guests and win their favor, each male guest must have their own preferences.
For the paper doll boy, receiving protection from the female guests is more important than receiving their praise.
Thinking this, Yu Naixin's brow twitched, and she had a rather bad premonition.
Sure enough, the paper-figure boy gazed at her eagerly, filled with expectation and shyness, and cautiously said, "Miss Yu, I really want to be with you forever... Would you be willing to be with me forever?"
As the paper doll boy asked his question, the yin energy around him suddenly intensified. Even though Yu Naixin had no physical contact with the paper doll boy this time, she could still feel the chilling cold that dropped several degrees Celsius.
Yu Naixin: "...!!!"
Grass!
She knew it! Once the favorability reached a certain level, it would trigger that fatal question from the paper doll boy!
Yu Naixin vividly remembers the consequences of answering "yes" without knowing anything about the previous incident.
There would be a miracle if she agreed again!
Yu Naixin began to curse the paper doll boy's ancestors for eighteen generations in her heart.
Wait, does the paper doll boy even have ancestors?
"Oh, you want to be with me?" Regardless of what she was thinking, on the surface, Yu Naixin still maintained a good-natured demeanor, smiling sweetly. "That's really unfortunate, I don't like boys who wear too much foundation on their faces."
Paper doll boy: "...?"
A big question mark appeared on the paper doll boy's face, which was full of spring fever, and even the yin energy around him seemed to freeze for a moment.
Miss Yu... what are you saying now?
Why can't he understand again?
[Holy crap, this newbie's foundation is way too thick! I'm about to burst out laughing, hahaha!]
[Damn, this paper doll's expression is so funny, hahaha!]
Even if the paper doll racked its brains, it couldn't figure out how to remove the foundation from its face—after all, it was obvious to the naked eye that there was no such thing as makeup remover in this village.
[What's with the makeup remover? If he really wanted to look less pale, he should just find some charcoal and smear his face black!]
[Under this lighting, even with the female guest's face painted black, would she still be able to find him?]
Amidst the laughter and chatter of the viewers in the live stream, someone else sent a tip to Yu Naixin.
[These new female guests are so open and honest with the male guests, going beyond superficial conversations to discuss in-depth topics like makeup removal—it's so sweet!]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 10 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "So What If My Brain Circuit Is a Little Hydrogen?"!]
Seeing the question mark on the paper doll boy's face, Yu Naixin very understandingly offered him a way out: "How about this, you become a living person first."
Paper doll boy: "...???"
The paper doll boy looked even more confused.
He knew that when the female guests first arrived at their place, they had to choose one of the male guests who would be their favorites: him, the White Bone Scholar, or the Fox Demon Priest.
The paper doll boy's mind was incredibly clear at this moment. Since there was a male guest he was interested in, there must also be a female guest he was interested in.
He has already decided that Yu Naixin is the female guest he's interested in.
Whatever the female guest he's interested in needs from him, the paper doll boy is determined to do it.
But, to become a living person...
The paper doll boy was in a very difficult position.
How can he become a living person?
...Is it possible to devour a few villagers from Cocoon Village?
"Can't do that?" Yu Naixin blinked. "Then I'll change the condition. You can become a dog."
Yu Naixin looked at the paper doll boy and gave him a very sweet smile: "Come be my dog."
