Chapter 417: Why can I only be a supporting role? What if I insist on being the protagonist?
After losing badly once again, Wen Jinyan threw the cards away angrily and said, "I don't want to play anymore. You three are bullying me."
"I lost all my New Year's Eve money."
Wen Jiu shook the money in his hand and winked at Wen Jinyan proudly, "If you need it, I can provide you with help as a friend!"
"The interest is calculated at eight points!"
Wen Jianyan said angrily: "Even Zhou Baopi, the loan shark, is not as ruthless as you!"
"I won't lend it to you!"
He glared at Wen Jiu angrily, then turned his eyes to Xie Tianzong and Old Man Wen who were playing chess next to him, and then stood up silently.
"Uncle, why don't you play cards with grandma? I have lost all my money and can't play anymore."
"Grandpa, let me play chess with you!"
Old Master Wen blew his beard and glared, "What can you do with your broken chess piece? Hurry up and leave and don't mess around here anymore."
Wen Jinyan looked innocent, "But if I don't come to play chess, grandma and the others won't be able to play cards!"
"Shall we discuss this?"
Xie Tianzong remained unmoved as a mountain, while Old Master Wen took out a red envelope from his pocket while cursing, and also took out one for Wen Jiu, the main point of which was to treat everyone equally.
The exception is Wen Chuji, who is in the army. Since he was over 22 and still unmarried, he has completely lost the qualification to receive red envelopes.
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
Wen Jinyan bowed 90 degrees to the old man, took the red envelope and went back to the next door in a dignified manner, watching Wen Jiuluo speak harshly.
"Just wait for me!"
"I want to win all your New Year's money!"
Wen Jiu blinked his eyes. "Really? Why don't I believe it?"
"Try it if you don't believe it!"
"Just give it a try!"
Neither the brother nor the sister was willing to give in. Chu Xiuli watched from the side and shook her head helplessly.
Why are you so competitive?
I don’t know who I took after!
Old Mrs. Chu was cheerful. As she got older, she liked watching energetic young people who liked to quarrel and argue.
When we had nothing to do, we played some cards, went to the plum garden to admire the red plum blossoms, played sledding, and ate some hot pot. We spent two happy and comfortable days like this. On the fourth day of the New Year, we warmed up the wine, had breakfast, and left because Lu Beiye might be back soon.
Having already spent the New Year with her family, she was afraid that if she delayed Lu Beiye any longer, there would be no one home when he returned.
Chu Xiuli packed two big bags of all the meat and vegetables she bought at home, as well as the steamed pork with rice flour that had been prepared but not yet steamed, for Wenjiu to take back.
Wen Jinyan originally wanted to go along, but Chu Xiuli told him to go after a few days because she was afraid that Lu Beiye might get hurt...it would be inconvenient for him there.
No one had lived in the house for eight or nine days, and it felt cold as soon as I walked in.
But the red plum blossoms on the table are in full bloom.
After warming the wine, he put the things down, took the vase to the kitchen and changed the water inside. He rubbed his hands, went to the kitchen to pick up a black coal ball, went to the neighboring house of Zhang Mei's wife, and exchanged it with her for a fresh coal ball. He put it in the stove, put two more black coal balls in it, opened the stove door and started burning them. Then he turned around and started cleaning the house.
It’s the New Year!
Get rid of the old and bring in the new.
Everything has to be put away.
She first swept the floor of the house, then boiled some hot water on the stove and wiped the tables and chairs in the kitchen and living room one by one. Then she took out the lanterns and window decorations in Lu Qingqing's room and hung them up where they should be hung and pasted where they should be pasted.
Seeing the house gradually become more lively and filled with the New Year atmosphere, I felt very satisfied and worked harder.
Lunch was brought over by sister-in-law Zhang Mei. After eating, she started working again in a hurry. It was already afternoon when she finished.
"call--"
So tiring!
Wenjiu stood up, rubbed his aching waist, threw himself into the sofa, looked at the blooming red plums on the table and sighed softly.
Why!
Lu Beiye, why haven't you come back yet?
I miss you so much!
I rested on the sofa for a while, warmed up the wine, and when I felt better, I got up again and went back to the room to continue tidying up and arranging things.
She wiped the bedside table and the table, ironed the clothes and hung them in the closet. She felt that the closet was a little too full, so she wanted to take out the clothes that the original owner had worn, wash them, and give them to someone who needed them, so as to make room for her to hang her own clothes.
After taking out all the clothes in the box, she found a small leather bag in the corner of the box. She took the bag out curiously to see what was inside. As a result, as soon as she opened it, her eyes widened in surprise -
Glass bottle with stars.
It’s exactly the same as the one in the compound!
But the difference is that there is only one star in this bottle.
Wenjiu's head buzzed, and her intuition told her -
A secret is about to be revealed.
She swallowed nervously, her hands holding the bottle shaking a little, and it took her several attempts to successfully open the bottle cap.
After taking the star out, she held it in her palm for a long time and prepared herself mentally before taking the star apart.
There are words written inside.
Why can I only be a supporting role? What if I insist on being the protagonist?
Wenjiu's head was buzzing, his thoughts were in a mess like a cut thread, he lost the ability to think, and his eyes were black from time to time...
supporting role?
main character?
What does this mean?
Has the original owner also read this novel?
Is she also a book traveler?
Does that mean...
Thinking of what he had been doubting for a long time, Wen Jiu's eyes suddenly became clear again. He turned around, picked up his coat and hurried out.
Zhang Mei saw that it was getting dark in the house, but Wen had hurried out to warm up the wine. She quickly chased him out of the house and asked, "Captain Lu, it's getting dark. Where are you going?"
Wen Jiu turned around and said, "I'm going home."
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about me."
After she said this, she hurriedly wrapped the scarf around her neck and rushed into the snow.
The snow under my feet crackled, the cold flakes flew straight onto my face, and the cold wind that entered my nostrils when I exhaled seemed to be able to freeze me, but my heart, which was warming the wine, felt warmer than ever before.
She had heard before that the universe was made up of countless small spaces, and that time passed at different speeds, but under certain conditions the two worlds could travel between each other.
So she has always guessed that the book she saw might be a small world in it, and the so-called traveling through the book was just her returning home.
She was originally from this world, and the original owner belonged to the modern world where she lived. Their souls exchanged for some reason, and she traveled through the book when their souls exchanged again.
At that time, she also guessed that the original owner might have also read the contents of this book, but the version he saw was different from hers.
This can explain why the original owner finally forced Lu Beiye to marry her, but wanted to cancel the wedding on the wedding day and marry Qiao Yue instead.
Because she is not satisfied with the status quo.
Longing for more attention and love.
Qiao Yue's identity as the male protagonist can just meet her needs.
The note she saw now just confirmed her guess, and she couldn't wait to verify more things.
