Things about spending money on games (6)

Shen Tang raised his lips nonchalantly: "What does it have to do with me? Are you going to force me to stay?"

"Little Lucky Bag, you've been a system for so long, you should know this is impossible, right?" Shen Tang's eyes passed through the transparent counter and landed on a silver ring without any decoration. "We are just passers-by in this world, traveling in a hurry. Even if we are on a mission, it's just a chance encounter with the people in this world."

Little Fukudai looked at Shen Tang, who rarely showed an expression that was a little unusual, and didn't say anything more for a while.

"In that case, we might as well leave something reliable behind. For example... money!"

Small lucky bag: ...

It's so unfortunate that he still wants to find some words to comfort the host!

"Tangtang, you didn't even help me and just let that guy take the things away!" Gu Rou stamped her feet in anger, pouted her lips and pulled Shen Tang's hand, "I don't care, you have to stay and help me pick out a gift for grandma!"

"Ah, I really can't do anything with you." Shen Tang pretended to be helpless and pinched Gu Rou's face, "I'll help you choose."

Although the plot in reality has changed, she should still be prepared for what might happen. After all, although the relationship between Gu Rou and Yan Lin's family is not close, they are more or less involved in some business dealings. You should know that when she was on her first mission, the Gu family had already invited the Yan family to celebrate her birthday. At that time, the only person who came was Yan Lin, in addition to Yan's father who was in charge of the Yan family.

If the plot had not changed in this regard, Gu Rou would have met Yan Lin at the old lady Gu's birthday party.

Countless pieces of information flashed through Shen Tang's mind. Now that the jade bracelet that the heroine wanted to buy as a gift had been snatched away by someone else, it would be better for her to pick out an agarwood carving that would match the gift that the hero was going to give.

In a previous mission, the gift presented by the Yan family was a wooden sculpture of a golden dragon under the misty clouds on Mount Nanshan. The flying dragon soaring through the clouds symbolizes rapid success, while the Mount Nanshan underfoot is rich in the meaning of wishing a happy birthday.

However, the wood carvings were supposed to be a pair, with the other one being a flying phoenix on a peach and a flying fire phoenix with its feathers spread out. If you put the two wood carvings together, you can see that they are facing opposite directions. But for some reason, the old man who carved them only produced one of the golden dragon wood carvings, and kept the fire phoenix wood carving at home. He gave it to the Lin family when he passed away many years later.

Wouldn't it be a good thing if this wood carving could help the hero and heroine to get together?

After considering for a moment, Shen Tang told Gu Rou the news about the Fire Phoenix wood sculpture, and the other party's eyes lit up when he heard it.

"Tangtang, you are so kind. Grandma will be very happy if I can get this intricately carved wood carving you mentioned!"

"Don't thank him yet. That old man is not so easy to talk to." After Shen Tang and Gu Rou walked out of the jewelry store side by side, Shen Tang pointed in the direction far away from the tall building. "The old man always likes quietness when he carves. The place where he lives is much more remote."

"It's such a hassle, or just forget it..."

Shen Tang immediately grasped Gu Rou's hand, and looked at her seriously with his bright eyes, "Xiao Rou, this is a birthday gift. You have to put in more effort to let others see your sincerity."

After hesitating for a while, Gu Rou finally agreed: "Okay then."

However, to Shen Tang's surprise, after a phone call, the old man took the initiative to offer the wood carving to Gu Rou after learning about their request. You know, in the previous mission, the old man was unwilling to sell this valuable wood carving, but this time he agreed so easily. Could it be that this is the halo of the protagonist?

Just when Shen Tang was wondering why the good news came so suddenly, several messages from the family group suddenly popped up on his phone.

Father Lin: Mom, that old guy actually wants to give the things away, and he wants to give them to the old lady in the Gu family!

Old Lady Lin: (smile.jpg) I asked him to give this thing to you. Will it go rotten if you keep it in your hand? Your mother carved the Fire Phoenix with her own hands. This old guy has kept it for so many years, it’s time to let it go.

A series of message notifications were sent from the mobile phone, and the contents made Shen Tang dumbfounded.

Could it be that this flying phoenix wood carving was made by Old Lady Lin? No wonder the old man in the previous mission eventually sent the wood carving back to the Lin family.

Gu Rou, who was completely unaware of this, asked someone to successfully get the exquisitely packaged gift box from the old man's residence. Her face was filled with joy. "Tangtang, you are right. If it weren't for your idea, I really wouldn't know what gift to give grandma. After grandma's birthday party tonight, I will definitely treat you out for a good meal!"

Looking at the extremely familiar face in front of him, Shen Tang stretched out his slender white fingertips and pinched it, with a dazed look on his face, "You have to be nice to grandma and the others."

One of the important reasons why she almost didn't get out of this world when she was doing the mission was that she was attached to her family members in the game and in reality. However, after going through so many missions, her mood is different from the beginning.

"Okay, you should ask someone to take the gift back quickly." Shen Tang glanced at the time. After being in the jewelry store for a while, it was already evening. "It's about time for you to change into nice clothes and go to the house to entertain customers."

Shen Tang smiled softly, patted the other person's shoulder and turned away. When she reached the street, Shen Tang tapped on her phone and called the driver at home. However, she saw a familiar figure when she was halfway through the call.

Yan Lin, why is he here? Shouldn't he be leaving for Gu's house at this hour?

The beauty holding the bag standing on the street was undoubtedly a beautiful landscape, which also made Yan Lin see that her eyes were filled with stars for a moment.

"Ms. Lin hasn't left yet," Yan Lin lowered his eyes shyly, and a slight blush appeared on his originally fair and flawless face. He didn't expect to run into Lin Tang on the street again, and for a moment he was secretly happy. Noticing that Shen Tang's ankles were a little red and swollen, Yan Lin guessed that she must have been standing outside for a long time, and looked at her worriedly with a pair of sparkling eyes.

"Ms. Lin, have you been walking for too long? If you are tired of standing, I can give you a ride." It just so happened that his car was in a parking lot nearby, which was much safer than getting in other people's cars.

Shen Tang glanced at him silently and deliberately emphasized, "Are you sure it's on your way?"

The Yan family and the Lin family are not located in the same direction. This kid is not in a hurry to go to the Gu family now, but is chatting with her here. It really makes her worry.

"Today is the birthday party of old lady Gu, don't blame me for not reminding you to attend." Shen Tang put the small bag from his arm to his wrist, and there were red marks on his fair and tender arm from being pressed by the bag strap.

Yan Lin's face turned even redder when he saw the red mark on Shen Tang's snow-white arm. He turned his face slightly to the side. The tip of his tall nose cast a faint shadow, which made his facial features look even more handsome and gentle.

"Gu's birthday banquet? I have no intention of going at all."

"What?" Shen Tang realized that her voice was a little loud, and she blinked quickly and lowered her head. She had thought that the plot would change, but when she heard the news, she couldn't help but be shocked.

"For this kind of banquet, it is enough to have one representative go. My brother happens to be in the country, so we can just let him go." Seeing that the other party looked unhappy, Yan Lin couldn't help but reached out and touched the tip of his nose and said helplessly.

It seems that the task in the game needs to be completed earlier. Shen Tang pouted in annoyance. This crappy bug really doesn't make people feel at ease at all!

If the hero doesn't go to the banquet, it will be useless even if she can arrange a job for the heroine to deliver a phoenix carving. If the key person is not there, what's the use of the dragon and the phoenix becoming a perfect couple?

Shen Tang tried every means to bring the male and female protagonists together, but the plot was so crazy that she couldn't bring the two together no matter how hard she tried!

"I have something else to do, so I'll go back first." Shen Tang maintained a smile on his face and pointed to the call display in his hand. "I have already called my driver, and he will come to pick me up soon. I won't bother you to send me off."

It was a complete rejection, not giving me any face at all, Yan Lin thought with some disappointment. But it was also true, Miss Lin would naturally have someone to pick her up.

In fact, Shen Tang had just rejected the male protagonist's invitation, and the next second she felt a little regretful. There was a lot of traffic on the street today, and the driver just told her that the parking spaces around were full, and she had to walk to an open space several hundred meters away to pick her up.

I should have known better than to refuse so quickly. Shen Tang cried inwardly. It would be a lie to say that she didn't want to get on the bus. She resigned herself to her fate and walked away from the bustling city with her bag. Every step she took was as weak as a mermaid walking on a knife.

Shen Tang really didn't expect the female supporting role to be so fragile. In the past, she could walk for a whole day without any problem, but now she had to stop and catch her breath after walking a few steps. Even so, she still maintained her posture and endured the fatigue and moved forward.

The afterglow of the evening fell on Shen Tang, and the light golden glow made her look extraordinary. The diamonds on her aqua blue skirt, as soft as the ocean, sparkled in the light, causing Yan Lin, who had been keeping a distance of about ten steps from Shen Tang, to slightly widen her peach eyes.

His heart seemed to be beating very fast.

Yan Lin could see that Shen Tang's steps were a bit labored, but since she had just clearly rejected him, he could only watch her from a distance until she got in the car.

After walking for a long time with her skirt in her hand, Shen Tang finally saw her driver and rushed to the seat with great joy. She had never missed the soft cushion more than now. When Shen Tang bent down to get into the car, she caught a glimpse of the familiar figure.

Yan Lin knew that he was seen. He twisted his head in confusion, then ran a few steps to her front, waiting for the car window to be lowered before staring at her with his charming peach blossom eyes. "I know this action is a bit offensive, but I feel relieved to see Miss Lin get on the car safely."

"Well, I'm really interested in Miss Lin!" The moment he said this, the tips of Yan Lin's ears turned bright red as if blood was dripping, and the light red that was originally only visible on his cold white cheeks gradually spread to his slender neck.

He knew that saying this would be offensive, but that was what he thought in his heart! He didn't dare to say that he liked someone he met for the first time, so he could only euphemistically say that he was interested.

Shen Tang looked at the shy yet straightforward male protagonist in front of her in surprise. It turned out that he had been guarding behind her.

She bent her finger and motioned Yan Lin to come closer, and he actually came closer without any precautions, with some sweat on his well-defined face.

"Are you that nervous?" Shen Tang smiled at Yan Lin who was approaching. The next second, she grabbed the other person's face with her fingers. "I'm glad that you are worried about my safety, but you have to see clearly, I am Lin Tang, Miss Lin! Besides, you can't make jokes about feelings casually!"

God knows her eyes almost went dark the moment she heard the male protagonist say he was interested in her. She still remembered clearly what Xiao Fukudai had said to her before.

Shen Tang could only smile and accept the other party's warning. If he hadn't wanted to maintain a gentle image, there wouldn't be just a faint red mark on the male protagonist's face.

After saying that, Shen Tang pushed the person out with one hand and locked the car window again.

"Next time, don't make such a joke to someone you've only met twice," Shen Tang said before the car window closed. He then whispered to the driver to go home, leaving Ming Lin alone there.

From the time she was in the car to the time she returned home, Shen Tang had been thinking about Yan Lin. Why did the male protagonist fall in love with her?

"Host, I found that the male protagonist's impression of you seems to be a little different," Xiao Fukudai suddenly said.
