Chapter 29: Twenty-eight Days After the Character Collapse
However, can we just ship this couple casually?
The warning to evacuate the house is still in place!
The system is slow to react.
But the next second——
Host, be gentle. Little White Rabbit, under Lu Bai's gentle gaze, completely relaxed.
She even peeled a candy bar.
Then he leaned forward and handed it to Lu Bai——
At this moment, Qin Qingqing was very close to Lu Bai.
Close to...
We can feel each other's breath.
But she still didn't notice.
She just stared at him.
"Want to eat?"
Lu Bai's breathing stagnated.
But I was still caught off guard and smelled the sweet scent of candy...
His throat rolled involuntarily.
A touch of coolness touched my lips.
That--
It’s Qin Qingqing.
Finally, she put the sweet candy to his lips.
He was even just a little bit away from kissing her fingertips.
Her fingertips?
It should also be tainted with the sweet scent of candy, right?
Lu Bai thought in confusion.
But in fact, his mind was already in chaos.
He had never been fed candy at such a close distance before.
He could even feel that the tips of his ears were gradually getting hot.
What a ghost!
Isn't he always cold and emotionless?
Why did you lose control today?
But he had no time to think about it.
I just subconsciously ate candy...
Qin Qingqing successfully fed the baby!
She smiled sweetly.
But, she was still facing Lu Bai!
In his pupils, her small, happy shadow was printed~
[Ahhh!]
[I knocked on it, I knocked on it~~~]
The system couldn't hold back any longer and screamed out loud - it finally succeeded in becoming a CP fan of the little white rabbit and the big bad wolf!
It completely forgot about the "eviction warning"!
[]
While it was excited, it was caught off guard and received a big question mark from the host.
[? ? ? ]
It responded with a question mark.
[How come you can knock on anything?]
Qin Qingqing: Confused head-twisting.jpg
[Yes! ]
[I really like this little white rabbit and big bad wolf couple!]
[Furthermore…]
[Host, didn’t you take the initiative to give out sweets?]
The system continues to be excited.
Just see...
The host was silent for a moment.
[Tongzi.]
[You really can't tell, am I laying the groundwork by handing candy to Lu Bai?]
[I am super scared of King Lu Yan!]
Qin Qingqing almost couldn't control her emotions when she said this... She was about to burst into tears...
The villain in her heart wiped away tears of sadness.
And whispered softly like pouring beans——
[I gave the child the candy because he was afraid of King Lu Yan.]
[Just to comfort him and bring up the next topic...]
[Um?]
[Next topic?]
The system froze.
Didn’t the host complete the “main storyline mission” and successfully get a pension of 100,000 yuan? Didn’t he also dodge a shot to save the opportunity to go to the “birthday party”? Didn’t he also get a “Mom” when he left?
Isn't this happy ending going to end with the "little white rabbit*big bad wolf CP"?
What's the next topic?
Tongzi was still confused.
Qin Qingqing had already discovered the truth from its tone——
[hold head high?]
[You are really good!]
[Have you forgotten that we have to "convince these two people to join the variety show"? !]
The villain in your heart is roaring with his hands on his hips (bu shi)!
This action brought back Tongzi's memory...
[Yes!]
Then, the system calmed down.
[But host, are you planning to buy off King Lu Yan with a piece of candy?]
[So how do you get your eldest son out of the wild?]
[and……]
[Can you guarantee that after you propose to join the variety show, these two people will not jointly throw you out of the Lu family?]
[After all, if you were thrown out, we wouldn’t be able to “take the left one step ahead and bring Lu Bai and his son into the variety show”…]
Qin Qingqing couldn't answer any of the system's questions.
She couldn't think of a better way...
She can only be emo in her heart and keep a sweet smile on the surface.
She was very well behaved and stood there for a long time.
Simply, grit your teeth——
Speak out loudly.
"Lu Bai Lu Bai!"
"In exchange, can you bring your son to participate in the variety show with me?"
"I know--"
"There's a parent-child variety show recently that's looking for guests...it's going to be fun!"
These words came out of nowhere.
Lu Bai was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
"Variety show?"
He frowned and spoke.
But in fact, what he wanted to ask more was - what did she mean by "in exchange"?
She exchanged it with him unilaterally...
Is it candy?
Or is it an agreement to "attend a birthday party"?
Lu Bai was silent.
I firmly believe it is the latter.
After all, who would trade a piece of candy with someone else?
(Qin Qingqing knows!)
Only at this moment did he finally "understand".
It turned out that Qin Qingqing was possessed by a spirit and deliberately "first refused and then agreed to attend the birthday party"; she wanted to take this opportunity to bring up the "variety show" thing.
It turns out that all her seemingly well-behaved appearance was just an illusion!
Lu Bai's face turned completely black.
I just feel that my own candies are no longer sweet.
His face darkened.
It was as if an iceberg had solidified!
That chilling coldness swept over...
It gave Qin a slight shock.
Can--
What made her feel even more desperate was the clear notification sound from the system!
[bite--]
[Random plot mission 3, please check~]
Yes, the mission is here again.
The timing of this mission is still so clever.
It was so clever that Qin Qingqing almost couldn't stop laughing...
A hazy mist gradually filled her eyes—she was frightened.
but--
Opposite her, Lu Bai's face was still cold and grim!
She had no choice but to...
Choose to hold back your tears and check out the random tasks?
The prescribed lines in this random plot mission are still written by the system's built-in program, which simulates the original owner's personality.
The general idea was to ask her to persuade Lu Bai and his son to participate in the variety show "Who is the Happiest Family?"
but--
[System, why are the first few lines of dialogue like this?]
Qin Qingqing asked in confusion.
Tongzi urged with a smile.
[Hey, host, please complete the task quickly!]
It paused, waving its handkerchief merrily.
[Come on, come on~]
[……]
Qin Qingqing became more and more confused.
On the surface, he could only speak in a dry voice——
"yes."
"It's a parent-child variety show called "Who is the Happiest Family?"
She paused here.
Nothing else——
Lu Bai's expression became increasingly unfriendly.
But he just stared at her coldly.
Say nothing.
It was as if he was waiting to see what else she would do!
Yes, the system can testify!
She is not possessed by a spirit!
She just had to complete the task and avoid electric shock punishment - currently, she had only two hundred thousand in her pension in the system account, which was far from enough to refuse a random plot task!
She slowed down.
Then he spoke again.
There was already a hint of tears in her words.
She really can't stand it!
He couldn't stand King Lu Yan's death stare; nor could he stand the threat of "electric shock punishment".
There was a tone of crying in her words, and she sounded aggrieved.
She was aggrieved and obedient, reciting the prescribed lines - although she didn't quite understand why "candy" was mentioned repeatedly here.
Speak the truth!
She's not the kind of person who's reluctant to share her candy!
"Are you... unwilling?"
"You don't want to take your son to the variety show???"
"Woo..."
"But you just ate my candy!"
"You ate my candy, but you didn't want to exchange it with me..."
"This won't do!"
Qin Qingqing still couldn't help crying because she was frightened by the person's continuous cold movements.
She wiped away her tears quietly while finishing the required lines...
It was a miserable and sad scene.
Therefore——
She missed the opposite side, and Lu Bai paused slightly.
Lu Bai really didn't expect this.
I didn’t expect…
Qin Qingqing would really exchange a candy with others.
I never expected...
I really misunderstood.
She is not possessed by a spirit.
She is just pure and cute.
Or, was it to tease her and let her run away; to listen to him, calling herself "Mom"?
After all, she had only heard her children calling "Mom" very often in the past decade or so.
When Lu Bai thought of this, the coldness in his eyes suddenly disappeared.
He even felt a little regretful——
She was scared just now.
His lips moved.
It seemed that he wanted to say sorry to Qin Qingqing.
But in the end it was too late.
Because over there, Qin Qingqing had already calmed down and continued to recite the prescribed lines!
She tried her best to hold back her tears.
He even stood with his hands on his hips in a pretentious manner, trying to maintain the arrogant image of the original owner.
"Humph! Anyway..."
"I want to participate in a variety show!"
"you!"
"And you!"
"You must accompany me..."
She finished her last line and put down her fingertips to cue Lu Bai and his son.
I heard a faint "ding" sound again -
That is the system's task completion prompt.
But she didn't react!
She said the next sentence out of instinct.
"You must accompany me!"
"Otherwise I will..."
"At once……"
Logically, this should be followed by a long paragraph of threatening remarks.
The random task can be completed.
Qin Qingqing couldn't think of any threatening words, so she could only bow her head and complain to the system...
[Wuwu, what should I do?]
[Without the prescribed plot lines, I don’t know what to say.]
[Did I...fail the mission?]
She cried bitterly.
But——
The system only asked confused questions.
[But host, hasn't your random mission been completed?]
[Huh?]
Qin blinked gently.
Only then choose to view——
[bite--]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully delivering the required plot lines and completing random plot mission 3.]
[Get pension of 100,000~]
Great...
Very good.
She now has a pension of $300,000 in the system's general ledger, which is equal to the pension she earned before she was "punished by electric shock" last time.
One more time.
She will reach 500,000 and have a chance to refuse a random task!
Duck!
Qin Qingqing encouraged herself in her heart.
Then I reacted——
Something seems wrong?
Of course!
No!!!
What she completed was a random plot task assigned by the system; she successfully avoided the "electric shock punishment".
But I haven’t completed my plan yet!
She has to convince Lu Bai and his son to accompany her to participate in the variety show...
But, she just took on the original character.
And directly threatened them!
It's over.
This time, even her old method (the mending-the-barrel-after-the-fact plan) might not be able to save the situation.
Qin Qingqing's face turned pale.
As if he had foreseen the future:
On the one hand, he was trying to avoid the "electric shock punishment"; on the other hand, he was making a living by picking up garbage; on the other hand, he was fighting stubbornly with the original heroine in order to save the tragic fate of Haodaer; on the other hand, he was frightened to tears by King Lu Yan...
It’s so difficult!
She sighed deeply in her heart.
But I heard unexpectedly——
"I promise you!"
Why?
Qin Qingqing raised her head in response.
He was met with the awkward but extremely determined gaze of the eldest son Lu Liye.
"I promise to join you in that...parent-child variety show."
"Whether my dad wants it or not."
Lu Liye repeated it once more.
Over there, Lu Bai, who had his speech stolen for no reason, frowned first, then coughed softly.
"……good."
He paused, feeling that his words were too brief.
He added dryly:
"I would also like to participate in parent-child variety shows."
"Why?"
Qin Qingqing widened her eyes in surprise!
[Oh my god!]
[What kind of amazing progress is this? Lu Bai and Lu Liye have both agreed to participate in the variety show!]
She confirmed with the system blankly.
[Yes, yes, host!]
The system is actually a little confused.
But it still reacted and sent its heartfelt congratulations to its host——
[Congratulations: Your plan has been a complete success!]
[Thank you~]
Qin Qingqing blinked blankly.
But it still hasn't slowed down——
Please forgive her for being stupid.
She didn't know: why did these two people suddenly agree, and what about her "threatening" words?
But goose!
God knows!
God knows, those words Qin Qingqing said just now were even tinged with tears; they didn’t sound like a “threat” but more like “acting coquettishly”.
Acting coquettishly with a crying tone...
It made her look so pitiful.
Who could have the heart to reject her proposal?
So, Qin Qingqing still completed her plan; even though she was confused.
She rubbed her eyes, completely wiping away the tears.
Then he spoke again——
"Okay then."
"We have agreed to go to the parent-child variety show together!"
“…”
Lu Bai nodded coldly.
"Um."
Lu Liye made a low sound.
This long and perfect "three-person meeting" ended successfully...
Qin waved gently, said goodbye to everyone, and prepared to go upstairs.
At once……
I heard the housekeeper ask diligently.
"Madam, you are not going out this time, are you?"
Qin Qingqing almost stumbled.
"Uh-huh!"
Of course she's not going out!
Before this, she was really just reciting the prescribed lines!
*
Thursday--
There is only one day left until Lu Bai’s grandmother’s birthday party.
Qin Qingqing got dressed early in the morning.
I want to leave the country with my eldest son Lu Lu to buy a "birthday gift" for my grandmother.
and……
Lu Liye's leave had already been requested in advance by Lu Bai.
All they need to do is take a ride with a Lu family driver and go shopping at Lu's shopping malls.
However--
As soon as they left the Lu family villa.
He was surrounded by a group of bikers.
The leader of the motorcycle gang braked, took off his helmet, whistled softly towards Qin...it was all done in one go.
But the next second, he was punched in the face!
"ah!"
A scream.
He covered his beaten left cheek in confusion, looked at Lu Liye who was beating him, and then looked at Qin Qingqing who was firmly protected by Lu Liye behind his back.
"hiss--"
"Boss!"
He burst into tears.
“Hahahaha…”
"Gu Yuan, you deserve it!"
A cute female voice was heard in the convoy. It was Qi Yanyan.
"Why do I deserve this?"
"I just wanted to say hello to the boss..."
Gu Yuan glanced at Lu Liye gloomily.
"Who could have thought that Haodaer would be so ruthless?"
"My face is swollen."
“…”
Lu Liye was silent.
Then he remembered: he had met this group of people last time.
It was those dozen people from the "Four Leaf Clover Club"...
But he——
Without regret, punch the man.
Who said this guy is disrespectful to his mother?
When he thought of this, he again protected Qin Qingqing behind him; the hostility in his eyes increased instead of decreasing.
Qin Qingqing took in Lu Liye's reaction.
While she was sighing that her love for her eldest son was not in vain, she rubbed Lu Liye's soft hair and smoothed it out for him.
"Okay, okay..."
"good."
As she spoke, she added the following few sentences with a smile.
“They are all my mother’s friends.”
"You saw him last time at the racetrack."
"He's not a bad guy."
Qin Leiqing said this, the "Four Leaf Grass" club's ranks... understood why the Luye Leaf Grass wants to beat people.
Gu Yuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Sister Qing, do we look like bad guys?"
"Take out the 'men'."
"You're the only one who looks like a bad guy."
"Our Yanyan is so well behaved!"
Qin smiled secretly.
I got a flying kiss from the beautiful girl Qi Yanyan~
"Thank you, Miss Qing!"
"Sister Qing, you are also a little fairy today~"
Qin Qingqing followed Qi Yanyan's line of sight and looked at her outfit - today she had changed her previous style of "charming, black hair and red dress".
She was wearing a light blue tassel tulle dress.
Pair it with braided hair and a chain bag.
It can be described as a cool and fairy style.
She smiled faintly.
Qi Yanyan's eyes were suddenly filled with surprise——
“Hmm!”
"I really want to take the fairy sister home~"
"Yan Gou..."
Gu Yuan complained silently.
Then he received Qi Yanyan's glare!
"cough!"
He cleared his throat and quickly changed the subject.
"Well, Miss Qing."
"We came to you today mainly to ask..."
"Why didn't you come to the club training last night?"
"Training?"
Qin Qingqing was startled.
Only then did I understand——
It turns out that the word "going out" last night was not just a required line in the plot, but it actually happened!
But she was so busy with her mission at the time that she completely forgot to verify this matter.
“Sorry, sorry…”
She was too busy saying sorry to all the club members.
But I didn't notice:
On the side, Lu Liye's expression was subtle for a moment.
He lowered his head silently.
It turns out that last night, when she said "going out", she didn't mean to go out and fool around, but to go for training?
He seems...
It's her fault.
It seemed that he had always been blaming and misunderstanding her since she started to get better.
Is he, unknowingly, getting closer to the girl who used to treat others indiscriminately and harshly?
That--
What is the difference between him now and her before?
Lu Liye's face suddenly darkened!
Complex emotions gradually filled his heart.
He seemed to have given up on himself unconsciously.
But he himself has not yet noticed it.
Qin Qingqing didn't have any either.
She was just very focused on apologizing to Gu Yuan and the others.
I got their crazy teasing again——
"Hmm? Young Miss, Young Miss!"
"You even disrupted our regular training... Are you crazy, or are we unable to lift the knife?"
"Boss, you can't slack off! We are still waiting for you to lead us to the championship!"
“…”
Qin Qingqing was teased crazily by everyone in the club.
That--
Qi Yanyan couldn't bear to watch it anymore!
She "swished" and got out of the car, and then protected her young sister behind her.
"Go! Go! Go!"
"Gu Yuan, you are such a little chicken, how dare you raise a knife to Sister Qing? If you are our eldest son, wouldn't he have beaten you to the ground?"
"What's wrong with the boss being lazy? Even if she uses her toes, she can lead us to the championship!"
The little beauty Qi debates with the crowd!
Didn't forget to drop a heavy bomb——
"Besides, our Miss Qing doesn't want to slack off on her own initiative!"
"She is preparing for the birthday party for Mrs. Lu..."
"Birthday party?"
Everyone was stunned.
"Uh-huh!"
Qin nodded lightly, like a little chicken pecking at rice.
I explained it to the club members...
Everyone suddenly realized!
"Is that so?"
Gu Yuan nodded with a complicated expression.
Suddenly I remembered something——
"etc!"
"If the boss goes to the birthday party, will he have to interact with the ladies of the rich families?"
"Of course."
Qi Yanyan nodded.
This time, Gu Yuan's expression was more complicated.
"But if I remember correctly, she doesn't have a very good reputation among the wealthy ladies."
“…”
This time, Qi Yanyan and her friends in the club also reacted.
Is it more than just “not so good reputation”?
It's simply a "very bad reputation"!
Absurdity, harsh treatment of son, torture of husband... Which of these charges would not cause an uproar in the outside world?
Look, even before, when there was pressure from the richest family, the Lu family, rumors were still rife within these wealthy families!
Not to mention——
This time, Mrs. Lu also invited many people from the entertainment industry and various media to her birthday party.
It is said that they want to promote Lu's enterprise's new products at the same time.
But by then, those who want to broadcast live will broadcast live, and those who want to exaggerate will exaggerate...
Shouldn't the rumors that were originally only circulated among the wealthy circles be spread to the general public?
The label of Qin Qingqing being "extremely absurd, harsh on her son, and abusive to her husband" can never be removed!
Everyone figured this out at the same time.
He looked at Qin Qingqing either dumbly, frowned, or worriedly.
Qin Qingqing looked at him with a chill down her spine——
Qin Qingqing shrank behind Lu Liye.
talent……
Found out that something was wrong with Lu Liye.
He has been silent since a while ago.
The whole person retreated silently, all the way into the shadows.
until--
Qin Qingqing subconsciously hid behind him.
He suddenly raised his eyes.
Qin Qingqing saw clearly the emotions in Lu Liye's eyes!
She was stunned.
What kind of expression is that?
Full of viciousness and brutality...but also with an indescribable gloom.
Gloomy?
