Han: [Congratulations on getting first place in the midterm exam. 】
Without waiting for Chi Beibei to reply, Xueqiu had already upgraded the space and came out.
It jumped onto the phone screen excitedly, waving its little paws and saying, "Host, come in and take a look. The house is finished. It's so beautiful."
Chi Beibei reluctantly took it into his palm: "Snowball, let me reply to the message first."
"Another villain?" Snowball curled his lips.
"No, it was Master Xiao." Chi Beibei shook the phone in front of it. "I don't know how he got the news that I got first place in the exam."
Snowball thought for a second and said, "No matter how he knew, just reply quickly. We still need to check the space."
"OK."
Chi Beibei didn't think much about it and simply replied: "Thank you." 】
"Go, go, go!" Snowball urged impatiently.
Chi Beibei closed his eyes and entered the space. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a simple and elegant small house standing in front of him. The wooden structure and glass complemented each other, which made it casual and simple yet stylish.
Chi Beibei walked closer and saw the exquisite carvings on the fir wood. He couldn't help but sighed: "Xueqiu, you have consumed a lot of energy, right?"
"Host, they didn't quite believe you got third in the monthly exam, but this midterm exam is enough to prove your strength, so you collected more energy."
Snowball said with a "tsk tsk" sound, "The heroine contributed quite a lot of energy."
Chi Beibei looked at the floor of the small house made of velvet wood, smelled the fresh and natural sandalwood scent lingering in his nose, and sighed: "It seems that this time, Chi Mingchu has been hit hard."
"That's right, host, you don't know, she is so jealous that she is about to explode." Snowball smiled wickedly, "I can still receive the energy she contributed."
"She will definitely find a way to cause trouble for me next." The plot has changed so much now that what happened at the same time point in the previous life can probably only be used as a reference.
"Host, you don't have to be afraid of her. The more she courts death, the weaker the plot will be on you. One day, she will destroy her own halo as the protagonist, and then you will be free."
"I'm not afraid of her." She was just a little annoyed by Chi Mingchu's stupid and vicious schemes.
Chi Beibei stepped into the small room. Snowball had bought a lot of new wooden furniture, including a dining table, a tea table, a screen, etc. There was also a small study room. The combination of a desk, bookshelf and a European-style bookcase took up an entire wall, and there were a lot of wooden ornaments on it.
Snowball even gave her a bedroom with a solid wooden double bed and a mahogany dressing table and wardrobe next to it.
Chi Beibei's mouth became an "O" shape. She remembered that the last time she upgraded the space, Snowball only built a marble stove, and the rest of the furniture was bought by her in reality.
"Snowball, I can now feel how much Chi Mingchu hates me."
"Let her hate us. The more she hates us, the more energy we have and the better off we will be." Snowball jumped onto the dressing table and combed his fluffy hair while admiring his handsome figure in front of the mirror. "My fur has become shiny and greasy."
"Oh, how can there be such a handsome hamster in this world?" Snowball held his face with his little paws.
Chi Beibei had already walked into the kitchen at this time and found that the ingredients she had bought before were still there, and the refrigerator, oven, molds, pots and pans were also preserved.
There happened to be some salted egg yolks and lotus paste, so Chi Beibei suggested, "Xueqiu, how about we make some snacks to celebrate?"
Snowball immediately abandoned the mirror and jumped onto the marble countertop: "Host, what snacks shall we make? Do you need my help with anything?"
"Let's make egg yolk lotus seed paste pastry." Chi Beibei said as she looked for puff pastry and eggs, "This is very simple and can be eaten right after it's done."
Roll the lotus paste into long strips and cut into small pieces. Flatten them one by one, wrap the salted egg yolks, wrap them with a layer of puff pastry, brush with egg liquid, and bake in the oven for about 25 minutes before eating.
As usual, Chi Beibei packed three boxes of snacks for Gu Yanchuan and the others, and then enjoyed them with Xueqiu.
"Snowball, I kind of want to sleep in the space." It's really hard to go from extravagant to frugal. Now she felt a little disgusted when she thought of that damp, dark, cluttered little room.
"Then just sleep in the space." Snowball said while chewing the delicious food.
"I was worried that if someone came in unexpectedly, they would find that I was not in the room."
"I'll help you keep an eye on the outside." Snowball said, holding the egg yolk lotus paste cake in his little paws, "That bedroom was originally prepared for you. It would be a pity if you don't sleep in it."
Chi Beibei was a little moved by what he said. After washing up, she lay down on the extra-large double bed.
After eating and drinking his fill, Snowball lay down on his back next to Chi Beibei's pillow, his little chest heaving.
Accompanied by its cute snoring, Chi Beibei fell asleep.
Although he was sleeping in a completely unfamiliar bed, Chi Beibei didn't recognize it at all. Instead, he slept well and felt refreshed when he woke up.
As usual, she went to the kitchen to find Aunt Lin, and Chi Beibei handed her the box: "Aunt Lin, this box of egg yolk lotus seed paste cake is for you."
"Miss, you bring me snacks every now and then, it's so expensive." Aunt Lin had gone from being flattered to being worried, and she refused, saying, "You should save the money, so you can have a better life."
Now that the eldest daughter is back, there is less and less room for her in this family. She will also need money if she leaves the Chi family and lives independently in the future.
"It's okay, Aunt Lin. This snack doesn't cost much." After thinking about it, Chi Beibei did not tell Aunt Lin that the system made her "win the lottery". Walls have ears, and it would be bad if the news was leaked accidentally.
Aunt Lin accepted the egg yolk lotus seed paste cake hesitantly.
Chi Beibei was staring at the white hair at Aunt Lin's temples in a daze.
In this life, Aunt Lin has not yet been kicked out by Chi Mingchu because she secretly helped her.
Aunt Lin has been in the Chi family for more than ten years. According to the tradition of the Chi family, if Aunt Lin works for a few more years, she will be eligible to live in the villa specially built for retired servants of the Chi family and retire with other old colleagues after she turns 55. At the very least, she will get a considerable pension and a small house.
I don’t know whether Aunt Lin is willing to leave the Chi family with her.
Chi Beibei asked tentatively: "Aunt Lin, if..."
"What's wrong, Miss?" Aunt Lin looked at her with concern.
"Nothing...nothing." Forget it, let's wait until she finishes decorating the house.
"Miss, I heard that you got first place in the midterm exam." Aunt Lin smiled, "That's great."
Before Chi Beibei could say anything, a sharp and piercing voice came from above the spiral staircase: "Are you happy that Chi Beibei got first place in the exam?"
Chi Mingchu strode down the stairs, his little leather shoes making a "tapping" sound on the steps.
Walking closer, Chi Beibei saw the dark circles under her eyes and her bloodshot eyes. Together with her gloomy and twisted expression, her originally bright and beautiful appearance was totally ruined.
It seems that Chi Mingchu was so angry that he couldn't sleep.
Chi Beibei's lips curled up slightly. Why was she so happy to see her arch-enemy being so angry?
Chi Mingchu glared at Chi Beibei fiercely and said to Aunt Lin, "Aunt Lin, are you blinded by your old age? Please find out who is the eldest daughter of the Chi family! Is a fake worth your flattery?"
Chi Beibei rolled her eyes and replied, "Yes, you are the eldest daughter of the Chi family. You are the most noble in the world, okay?"
Chi Mingchu heard her sarcasm and gritted his teeth: "Chi Beibei, are you so proud? Do you think you are so great just because you got the first place in the exam? You are just a fake daughter! My parents hate you, you will never be better than me!"
The two dark circles under her eyes swayed in front of her eyes, and Chi Beibei directly pointed out: "It seems that you care a lot about my first place in the exam."
"You!" Chi Mingchu was speechless. Why did Chi Beibei seem to not care about his identity at all? Wouldn't she be ashamed?
Suddenly, she saw the box of snacks on the table.
Chi Mingchu quickly picked up the snacks and said, "Is this the snack you gave to Aunt Lin? What a deep love between master and servant. Why didn't I see it before?"
"What do you mean by deep love between master and servant? Are you still living in ancient times?" Chi Beibei frowned and looked at her. She really couldn't understand why Chi Mingchu always looked so superior. She had obviously stayed in an orphanage for more than ten years, but she was more arrogant and domineering than most daughters of wealthy families.
"Miss, can you please return it to me?" Aunt Lin said bravely.
Hearing this, Chi Mingchu sneered. She opened the lid and poured all the snacks inside onto the ground.
"Ah!" Aunt Lin exclaimed.
Chi Mingchi looked at Aunt Lin with great pride, then stepped hard on the snacks with his small leather shoes, crushing them into crumbs.
Chi Beibei looked at Chi Mingchu, whose behavior was already somewhat crazy, and said, "You are crazy."
Chi Mingchu thought Chi Beibei was afraid of her, so he approached her and said grimly, "Remember, Chi Beibei, you are just like these snacks. You can only let me control you. You can't break free."
Chi Beibei moved away from her: "Psycho."
"How dare you call me a psycho?" Chi Mingchu reached out to hit someone.
Before Chi Beibei could grab her wrist, Chi Jiangmo's voice came from upstairs: "What are you doing?"
Chi Jiangmo looked at Chi Mingchu's raised hand in disbelief: "Mingchu, are you going to fight Beibei?"
Chi Mingchu was indignant: "She scolded me first!"
Chi Beibei glanced at the food scraps on the ground and said in a light tone: "She started the trouble first."
Both sides insisted on their own opinions. Chi Jiangmo rubbed his forehead with a headache, looked at Aunt Lin, the third party present, and said, "Aunt Lin, tell me, what happened?"
Aunt Lin, who was named, stepped forward and said, "Master, the second young lady sent me a box of snacks. We talked about the fact that the second young lady got first place in the exam. The eldest young lady was very unhappy after hearing that. She scolded the second young lady and threw the snacks. The second young lady was so angry that she said something to the eldest young lady."
"You old man, you really are on Chi Beibei's side!"
