I don't want to do it anymore. Sister! Why...
When Zhen Zhu handed it over, the old pink hair tie flashed past her eyes, and there seemed to be a faint pink and white cheese cat head on it.
It was her favorite cat breed when she was a child.
The fleeting thought did not affect her, and she placed the hair tie and the box on her chest.
"Don't you have a special paintbrush?" Zhen Zhu pursed her lips and handed it to her, placing it on the quilt at her chest.
Zhen Zhu was thinking about leaving after she finished speaking, but when she turned around, her clothes were grabbed.
"Thank you...sister." Seeing the pink gift box on her chest, Zhen Min'er's voice was filled with unconcealed surprise. "This...seems to be something left by my mother..."
Zhen Min'er actually knew.
[Why did you give this to Zhen Min'er? Has your relationship taken a step further?]
"I didn't leave it for you!" Zhen Zhu instinctively thought of what Lin Zhi said and immediately turned around: "Don't think too much!"
My sister...left it specially for her.
"Okay~" Zhen Min'er raised her head, her pale and lifeless face filled with a soft smile, which came from her sparkling eyes: "Thank you, sister."
"Cough cough..." After she finished speaking, it seemed that her physical discomfort affected her. She coughed several times in a row, and her deer-like eyes became even more moist and innocent.
"..." Zhen Zhu pursed her lips, took the teapot beside her, poured a cup of tea, tested the water temperature and handed it to her.
The cup of water was of a suitable temperature and not as hot as before. Zhen Miner smelled the scented tea that was unique to her sister at home. The corners of her lips rose slightly, and she took a sip to moisten her throat.
It also soothes my heart.
Sister, that’s so nice.
Seeing her drink the water, Zhen Zhu stood up, but the hem of her clothes was still in her palm, the hand where she had been pierced with needles.
Not daring to use too much force, Zhen Zhu frowned and scolded: "What are you doing? Let go of my clothes."
"Rest quickly, you're injured all day long."
"It's so troublesome!"
Zhen Zhu tentatively pulled at her sleeve, and Zhen Min'er tightened her grip slightly... before slowly letting go.
Zhen Zhu retracted her skirt as she wished and stood up, but the baby voice in her mind suddenly screamed, "Ahhh Host! I forgot the key point!"
"We agreed! You have to say it was a gift from the male lead!"
“This way, happiness will increase!”
"The heroine's happiness value just increased to 95%!"
“Just a little bit!”
"What?" Zhen Zhu turned back to look at Zhen Min'er in shock, and saw her slowly holding the teacup and taking a sip from time to time.
Very well-behaved.
Why...would the happiness value suddenly increase?
Zhen Zhu was instinctively puzzled, as if attracted by her gaze. Zhen Min'er raised her eyes, her beautiful little deer eyes flickered, and she smiled timidly: "Sister?"
"Are you...happy today?"
She asked this, deliberately ignoring the screams of the system in her mind.
In fact, Zhen Zhu didn’t know why she asked this, but since she wanted to ask, she asked.
Because... maybe it wasn't because of Jining Lan's increased happiness? This sudden doubt was a little shallow, but it couldn't be shaken off.
Just now, there was no Jininglan, only her.
"...Sister?" Zhen Min'er seemed to be surprised by her sudden question. She was stunned for a moment and asked hesitantly: "Sister, why..."
"Just say it." Zhen Zhu pursed her lips, her tone almost fierce.
"Glad, happy..." Zhen Min'er seemed to be frightened. She clenched her fists for a long time before releasing them. Then she was silent for a while before she timidly said, "Brother Ning Lan sent me home today..."
Stopped others from approaching my sister.
"Okay, no need to say more."
Zhen Zhu once again interrupted Zhen Min'er fiercely.
"Look! Host! I told you it was the male protagonist's influence!" There was a sense of victory in the system's baby voice, mixed with Zhen Zhu's own uncomfortable and sour emotions.
Very unhappy.
"Yes, yes, it's all because of your male protagonist's influence!"
Zhen Zhu answered in her mind irritably, her fox eyes staring coldly at her stepsister who was frightened by her and suddenly kept silent.
Zhen Min'er is crazy! She actually likes such an idiot!
"Host, please tell me quickly that the gift was given by the male protagonist! It's just 5%, just 5%!" The system's baby voice was filled with excitement.
“…” is the gift Jining Lan gave you.
Zhen Zhu bit her lip. She really couldn't say this!
She is the eldest daughter of the Zhen family! Is she the kind of person who would give gifts to others?
Besides! That was her mother's belongings, and it was her idea to give it to Zhen Min'er! Why would she make wedding clothes for others? Is she the kind of person who has nothing to do but be a matchmaker?
She really didn't want to—
"elder sister..."
“Boom!”
The sudden explosion of thunder brought Zhen Zhu back to her senses. Zhen Min'er, who was about to speak, was also startled by the sudden explosion of thunder outside. She blurted out a cry and grabbed Zhen Zhu's clothes again: "Sister! Are you okay?"
After a slight tremor, her body instantly recovered. Zhen Zhu pursed her lips and asked, "Is this a warning from the world consciousness?"
"Yes, yes!" The baby voice was filled with helplessness: "Host, we're only five percent away, the finishing touch!"
Pursing her lips, she looked at her stepsister who seemed to be looking at her worriedly on the bed. Zhen Zhu snorted coldly: "What can happen to me?"
"What were you about to say?" Zhen Zhu just heard Zhen Min'er calling her first.
"That is..." Zhen Min'er hesitated.
"Speak, don't hesitate!" Zhen Zhu was already holding her breath, and seeing Zhen Min'er's weak look, she thought of the threat she had been given, and became even more annoyed.
"Exactly. Just now, when my sister was having a massage, Brother Ning Lan said that his family had already discussed it with my father..."
"About breaking off the engagement with my sister."
Zhen Miner raised her eyes and looked at her sister tentatively. Sister, you probably don’t care about Jininglan anymore.
But he saw that the fox eyes were extremely cold, looking at him indifferently and calmly.
The care and outward emotions he had shown her before seemed to be retracted in an instant.
Her heart tightened, and Zhen Min'er said, "Sister..."
"Host! Look! The heroine's happiness is because of the hero!" The baby voice hummed in her mind.
Looking at the pair of deer eyes flashing, looking at him hopefully.
What is this thing you are telling her? Is it to share her joy?
Sure enough, that's what she was thinking just now.
She was overthinking it. Zhen Min'er was just following the plot line and would be with Jining Lan in the future.
For a long time.
"Oh." With a cold sneer, Zhen Zhu said coldly: "Oh, that's good, congratulations!"
"I got what I wanted!"
Yes, she should do her task and raise her happiness value to the maximum according to the task requirements. She must have raised her happiness value because of the male protagonist. What was she exploring just now?
What else do you want to explore?!
Good.
Zhen Zhu pointed at the diamond gift box placed in Zhen Min'er's arms and said coldly and naturally, "No wonder. Jininglan begged me to give you this gift box."
Since the male and female protagonists will definitely follow the plot, she will quickly match them up.
She has her own life.
When her happiness value reaches 100, the noisy baby voice system in her mind will disappear, and she will resume her life as a socialite and will never have anything to do with Zhen Min'er again!
Good!
"Hmph." He snorted from his nose, stood up straight, bent down and stretched out his hand, directly pulled Zhen Min'er's hand away, and pulled out his clothes.
"In that case, I don't want the conditions Jininglan originally promised me."
She casually deepened the lie she never told, opened her red lips slightly, and stared at her panic-stricken stepsister with indifference and indifference: "Congratulations."
"You two will have a happy marriage."
"Don't come to me again."
"Sister! Why..."
Why suddenly, Zhen Miner's heart tightened, and she wanted to get up and move closer, but was forced back by Zhen Zhu's cold gaze.
"Stop moving!" Zhen Zhu turned back impatiently, frowning at the restless Zhen Min'er, "Behave yourself!"
Seeing Zhen Min'er moving around disobediently, he felt a little annoyed and unhappy: "What's wrong with you?"
"Sister...are you unhappy because Brother Ji and Ning Lan broke off the engagement?" Zhen Min'er pinched the quilt in her hands, staring at her sister's expression.
"No." Zhen Zhu snorted coldly, "I'm very happy."
The mission was about to be completed, she was so happy!
Where is the unhappiness?!
"Have a good rest!" After the system notifies the heroine that her happiness index is full, she will be completely relieved.
"From now on, you don't have to tell me about your affairs or Jining Lan's affairs."
"Your presence affects me."
"From now on, you and Jininglan will be together and be happy!"
After saying that, he no longer cared about Zhen Min'er's struggles and her attempts to hold her back. After all, she was the heroine! Just as the system said.
Everything she has is protected by the male protagonist, it has nothing to do with her!
*
"System, are we there yet?"
After sitting on the sofa and waiting for a long time, but still getting no good news, Zhen Zhu suppressed her anger and asked again impatiently.
“...Ah, um, ah, um, not yet…” The system stammered again.
Another half hour passed.
"??? Still no change——"
"No! No..."
"Well, I guess the last bit of happiness is, it's quite difficult..."
The system's baby voice was lame, unlike the self-assured confidence it had shown before. Apart from the first wordless reply which was extremely quick, the rest of the reply was filled with doubt and confusion.
There is a problem.
Zhen Zhu pursed her fox eyes slightly, raised her wrist, and looked at the children's watch that she had always thought was ugly. Her happiness value was——
"Stop! Host!"
[The heroine's current happiness index: 0%.]
Floating from above to below, then emerging from above and floating beneath the invisible curtain...
"???" The fox's eyes widened unconsciously, and Zhen Zhu thought she was hallucinating: "Zhen Min'er's happiness index,"
“It became 0?”
“…”
The baby voice that always liked to chatter suddenly became silent. Obviously, there was nothing wrong with this index.
"so,"
"I spent so much energy entangled with Zhen Min'er and Jining Lan, and in the end... my happiness value is reduced to 0?"
"Huh?" Zhen Zhu sneered, "So, all the work I did was in vain?"
"Should I still accept the identity of the vicious female supporting role and follow the plot line?" Zhen Zhu raised her red lips, her eyes were indeed extremely cold.
"System, please speak." Zhen Zhu reminded the system coldly, "Didn't you tell me that if I replaced Zhen Min'er's paintbrush with the male lead's, I would have full happiness and could escape the plot?"
"I want to ask."
"Why did it become 0?"
"...Maybe, maybe there was a little, little mistake..."
"I'll go investigate right away!" The system with the baby voice was very active, and it didn't want to comfort Zhen Zhu, "Um... Host, don't worry."
"I'll report this to the Lord God and have him check with the world consciousness. The values will definitely be restored to normal, and the host can escape the plot!"
"No."
Zhen Zhu answered coldly, her fox eyes showing no fluctuation.
"I,"
"No."
