Chapter 107 Fiancé [VIP]
[Host, Cen Tingye's identity information has been successfully forged. He is now a fully married person.]
Qingran, who was negotiating with the jewelry store clerk, heard the system's cheerful voice.
[Didn't he have any doubts?]
[I disguised myself as a network malfunction causing a bug. The male protagonist was caught off guard at first, and by the time he tried to investigate the cause, I had already slipped away cleanly, leaving him no chance to catch me.]
As expected of a ruthless person who fought his way out of the infinite world, the original plot mentioned that Cen Tingye was very skilled at hacking, but I didn't expect him to be this good.
It's a system 000, not a person; the two are not even on the same track.
It can transform into a bird or a fish to roam the online world, and Cen Tingye can even make a cage to catch it outside.
Luckily, it ran fast.
"[Zero Zero, you've worked hard.]" Qing Ran praised the system for its hard work and achievements, and asked as she walked out of the store.
[What was his reaction?]
This jewelry store supports customization, but the production time is very long, taking fifteen to thirty days to receive the finished product, and it may not even meet his expectations.
Yu's father wouldn't wait half a month or a month to arrange for him to meet with Jay Chou, so Qingran chose a more convenient method.
[After several unsuccessful attempts to correct the situation, and to avoid attracting the attention of relevant personnel, the investigation shifted to checking the host's information.]
"Will Ran Yu be able to meet Cen Tingye soon?" Qing Ran wondered to herself.
Wait, will Cen Tingye come to him about this?
Qingran decided to wait patiently for a while.
After leaving the jewelry store, he texted his mother, saying that he wouldn't be going home for a while and wanted to stay away from home for a few days.
Yu's mother didn't suspect anything, assuming that he was in a bad mood because of what Yu's father said, and even offered some words of comfort, saying that as parents, they were only trying to do what was best for him.
Qingran scoffed, put away her phone, and crossed the street.
"Boss!" Xiao Chun greeted Qing Ran excitedly when she saw her again at the shop entrance.
Qingran nodded and walked into the flower shop. He saw a young couple choosing gifts for their elders. He gestured for Xiaochun to go ahead and then went behind the counter to check the recent accounts.
The flower shop has been open for almost half a month, and business has recently stabilized after the opening promotion ended.
Qingran glanced at it and saw that the number of daily transactions was significantly lower than when the previous owner was in charge, but the turnover had not decreased; on the contrary, it was two to three times that of the previous owner.
This is because not many people know that the flower shop specializes in uniquely colored potted plants when it first opens. After a while, word will spread among customers, and with repeat customers, the number of transactions should increase.
As for the previous shop owner's daily transaction volume and turnover, it was sponsored by Xiao Chun.
Snapping out of their reverie while looking at the accounts, they saw that Xiao Chun had also finished her work not far away, and the young couple left the flower shop with potted plants and beaming smiles.
Xiao Chun, who was temporarily free, ran over with a grin and leaned against the counter: "Boss, there are only a few kalanchoe plants left in the store. When are you going to restock?"
The young couple just now bought kalanchoe flowers, which are orange-red and pink in color. They have a good meaning and are rare, making them a perfect gift for elders.
"I'll bring it to you later," Qingran said, turning off her computer and looking up. "Tell me what else the store needs."
Xiao Chun rattled off the names of several best-selling items in a clear and organized manner, then asked curiously, "Will the boss return them later?"
Qingran nodded: "I'll be spending more time at the shop these next couple of days."
Xiao Chun's eyes lit up: "With such a good-looking living advertisement as the boss, why would we be afraid of not having customers!"
"I can't wait to find out how much commission I'll get this month!"
Qingran, who was just about to praise her for her improved speaking skills, said: "..."
He shook his head.
Qingran treated Xiaochun to lunch at noon, and in the afternoon, she went back to the place she rented for Ranyu to prepare potted plants.
His first batch of potted plants were ready-made products bought directly from the flower and bird market. Later, he felt that this was not quite right, so he started to buy seeds to cultivate or propagate them himself.
Anyway, no one else knows exactly how he raised them at home.
Ran Yu rented a house in an old-style residential area, a bit far from the flower shop. It was an apartment building, not a detached house with a yard.
Qingran was mainly worried that if she cultivated different colored flowers in the yard, they might be stolen the moment she stepped out the door.
Or it was trampled and destroyed.
So he specifically rented a house with a large balcony, which overlooks the elementary school playground. The buildings on both sides are far apart, so he doesn't have to worry about being noticed by the neighbors.
Shelves are arranged on the balcony, and potted plants are displayed in a staggered manner on these shelves.
Qingran carried several pots of each of the varieties Xiaochun mentioned into the house, and then carried some other things, all of which were covered with black plastic bags.
While waiting for the usual deliveryman to arrive, he replanted some plants in the storage room.
Take out the ceramic pot, pour in nutrient soil, bury the seeds, and then use spiritual power to stimulate the seeds to sprout slightly and mutate.
These sprouting potted plants were moved to the bottom shelf of the balcony. For the same variety of potted plants, the higher up the shelf, the longer the growing time. When the florist restocked, they would start from the top shelf.
Qingran felt that she had gone to great lengths to impersonate Ran Yu, much more so than Cen Tingye, who only needed to create an identity document.
Having witnessed the entire process from the very first world to the current system, one cannot help but draw a conclusion.
[Host, I think you should really enjoy acting.]
How could I not like Fu Qingyan's world?
Even after graduating from film school, she didn't enter the entertainment industry to act. Jiang Ling had to ask her several times before she finally agreed to play a few decorative roles.
These few minor, decorative characters became wildly popular and trended on social media after the show aired, leaving viewers amazed.
Before it could even watch its host enter the entertainment industry and dazzle everyone, the storyline came to an end, and they left the small world.
[I only like playing characters and storylines that interest me~] After finishing her work, Qingran went to the kitchen to wash her hands.
System: [Would you act in a role if you found a character or script that interested you?]
Qingran: [Are you talking about this world?]
System: [No, there's also a smaller world set in the entertainment industry later on. The male lead could be a movie star, a top celebrity, a singer, or the president of an entertainment company.]
After washing and drying her hands, Qingran said, "[If I could meet him...]"
The system was delighted. The host liked to deceive the male lead's feelings, and it liked to watch the host deceive the male lead's feelings. Otherwise, it would put on an alias and write the script itself.
Just as we were talking, the delivery man arrived in his tricycle.
After receiving the call, Qingran carried the potted plants downstairs to the truck, sat in the truck bed and drove to the flower shop, unloaded the goods, settled the bill, and helped Xiaochun handle the aftermath before saying goodbye and leaving.
With a clear purpose, Qingran went directly to a jewelry store, bought some random silver and gold ornaments, and went home.
Back at his home near the primary school, he melted down all the metal ornaments he had bought into a lump, resulting in a liquid metal that was neither gold nor silver.
The molten metal was split in two, one part slowly forming a snake-shaped bracelet with a tail, similar in shape to the white jade hairpin he had once worn.
The other one...
Following Xing Chao's example, Qing Ran made several snake-shaped earrings of different styles, including those with a tail, those with a coiled body, and those with a tongue protruding.
The original owner already had pierced ears, but Qingran didn't have the habit of wearing jewelry in the past, and she always forgot to wear it after getting into character. So she took a tongue-twisting earring and put it on her earlobe.
I looked in the mirror to see how it looked.
Ran Yu's face is more like that of a pure and innocent young man. When Qing Ran transformed and disguised herself, she referenced Xu Qing Ran from Fu Qing Yan's world, with a pure yet slightly cold demeanor.
Does wearing snake-shaped earrings add a touch of dangerous allure?
You can also leave some marks on your body, um, a two-pronged approach.
*
Ran Yu stayed in the store for three or four days.
One Saturday morning, a tall man dressed in all black from head to toe and wearing a baseball cap walked into the "flower shop".
At that moment, Qingran was dealing with a troublesome passerby who came into the store to look at something new, but didn't want to buy anything and complained about the price. Seeing this, she thought to herself: Here they come.
Then open your heart.
"299? This flowerpot isn't even as big as the one I use to grow scallions, and it's selling for 299? Why don't you just rob people?!"
A well-dressed, thin old man asked about the price of the potted plum blossoms and immediately looked at him with disdain.
With Ran Yu's pretty face in charge these past two days, business has improved. Xiao Chun is currently introducing the shop to another customer who is interested in buying.
When Ran Yu heard the old man complain about the price, she patiently explained, "Sir, our shop mainly sells potted plants, not flower pots."
The old man rolled his eyes: "Potted plants aren't expensive? A pot of plum blossoms like this at the flower and bird market next door costs at most 29 yuan, unlike you—"
“Young people these days,” he said, shaking his head, “are really heartless.”
[Help! Can someone who's mentally unstable please not come into my shop?]
Ran Yu smiled and said, "The flower and bird market next door sells ordinary potted plants, but mine are multicolored flowers. On the same plum tree, green plum and red plum can bloom in two different colors, so they are different."
The old man pointed and said, "Different colored flowers, who doesn't know that? It's just grafting two different colored flowers onto the same mother plant. How dare you sell this for three or four hundred?"
He then proceeded to pluck the flower branches with his large hands.
Ran Yu stopped him, saying, "If you don't mind the trouble, sir, you can try grafting different colored flowers at home yourself. Our flower shop might not be suitable for you."
They subtly pushed the person towards the store exit.
[Get lost, old Deng! I need to attend to new customers. That young man is tall and has long legs; even if he doesn't buy anything, he's more pleasing to the eye than your orange-peel face.]
Fearing the old man would continue to pester them, they decided to use some strong medicine.
"As you said, the items in our store are too expensive. If we accidentally break something, the compensation would be a lot of money."
The old man, who wanted to say something more, reluctantly left.
That plum tree is indeed quite beautiful. If it were two hundred yuan cheaper, he might have bought it.
Ran Yu breathed a sigh of relief after finally seeing the man off, and greeted him with a relaxed smile.
[Wow, so well covered up and wearing a mask, could it be a celebrity?]
"Sir, would you like me to introduce you?" he asked politely.
He wasn't sure whether it was Cen Tingye or Cen Guanzhou who was coming, so he wasn't wearing an earring for the time being.
The man stopped, observed, and turned around.
Judging from his eyes, I knew it was Cen Tingye.
The man's long, narrow black eyes beneath his baseball cap gave off an inexplicable sense of pressure when he looked down at people.
"Ran Yu?" The voice behind the mask was muffled.
Ran Yu, confused, asked, "I'm Ran Yu, do we know each other?"
[Looking for me? I have absolutely no recollection of it.]
Without explaining or wasting words, the man directly stated the purpose of his trip: "I'll pick you up next Monday to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
"Huh?" Ran Yu's eyes widened.
Two little girls nearby listened intently as the price was almost agreed upon.
The jumble of thoughts flooding into his mind made Cen Tingye frown in annoyance. His brows furrowed, and when he looked up again, his body had uncontrollably switched personalities.
The two personalities do not share memories, and they cannot even control when to switch dominance, which is why the two personalities are determined to kill each other.
Cen Guanzhou, who had suddenly appeared in his body, calmly glanced at the unfamiliar surroundings and the boy in front of him with his clear black and white eyes looking at him.
[Have I encountered another lunatic who wants me to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau without saying a word?]
[Or am I just out of touch? What kind of new way is this to confess my feelings or propose?]
Ran Yu's eyes were not discreetly scanning the man's appearance and physique.
His eyes are round and almond-shaped, with the inner corners of his eyes turned inward and the outer corners turned outward. His dark eyelashes are long and thick. When he looks at people with his head tilted back, he looks both innocent and alluring.
Cen Guanzhou seemed oblivious to the attractiveness of the person in front of him, and withdrew his gaze to take out a note from his bag.
A long, strong hand unfolded the paper and scanned its contents.
[What was written on the note? Why did this person become inexplicably silent after reading it? No, speechless.]
"This gentleman?" Ran Yu spoke up again after his long silence.
Cen Guanzhou crumpled the note into a ball and put it back in his bag. "...Last week, due to unexplained network fluctuations, a bug appeared in the population information database."
Ran Yu looked at him with a puzzled expression.
[So? What does this have to do with me? Is there a bug in my information?]
"Are you a staff member of the police station?" Ran Yu asked tentatively.
He recalled that the local police station was responsible for personal information and other matters related to household registration.
“No,” Cen Guanzhou denied, then said in a nonchalant tone, “the problem mainly lies in the marital relationship.”
"You and Cen Tingye entered into a marriage for unknown reasons. You are now married. Do you understand?"
[ah? ? ? ? ]
Two girls eavesdropping nearby were filled with questions.
"I understand," Ran Yu nodded.
But understanding is one thing, believing is another. "It's not April Fool's Day, are you really not playing a prank on me?"
"Do I look like I have nothing better to do?" the man asked indifferently.
Who knows...
Ran Yu: "Okay, I'll take it as you're telling the truth. You just said the person I'm marrying is called..."
Cen Guanzhou: "Cen Tingye."
Ran Yu raised her watery eyes: "You're Cen Tingye? And you came in his place?"
Cen Guanzhou: "Hmm."
[Does this "um" mean that she is Cen Tingye, or that she came in his place?]
[never mind. ]
Ran Yu: "It's like this, this matter sounds a bit unbelievable, I want to go to the police station to confirm it first."
Cen Guanzhou nodded indifferently and was about to leave.
Ran Yu reached out to grab his sleeve, but the man reacted too quickly and she missed.
He paused for two seconds, then explained to the man who turned around with a sharper look in his eyes, "Um, I actually wanted to ask you to come with me to the police station."
[If you're a scammer, I won't dare go out with you next time.]
Cen Guanzhou frowned, recalling his agreement with Cen Tingye, and turned around.
"Keep up."
Ran Yu quickly took off her apron and told Xiao Chun, who had been watching the commotion for a while, "I have to go out for a bit. Xiao Chun, keep an eye on the shop."
"Don't worry, boss!" Xiao Chun assured the person who was hurrying out the door.
Cen Guanzhou was waiting for him outside the flower shop. Ran Yu came out and asked, "Didn't you drive?"
Cen Guanzhou: "You don't suspect I'm a liar?"
Ran Yu blinked.
[Am I being that obvious?]
Fortunately, the nearest police station was not far from the flower shop, and the two of them walked there in about ten minutes.
He went in and explained his purpose, but the police officer on duty looked at him like he was an idiot, saying how could there be such a strange bug.
Ran Yu didn't hesitate to shift the blame, pointing to the black-clad man beside her who was standing with his arms crossed and not saying a word: "He said that I came to you because I was worried about being scammed."
With his back to the police, he winked at Cen Guanzhou, blinking one eye repeatedly, which seemed more like an attempt to seduce him than a signal.
Cen Guanzhou calmly looked away and said to the police, "Why don't we just look at the data and see?"
The police retrieved his personal information based on the information provided by Ran Yu.
Ran Yu leaned out to look at the screen even more eagerly than the police: "...Wow, she really is married."
"How could there be such a strange bug?" he asked, expressing the same question as the police.
The police traced his marriage partner's name, and Cen Tingye's personal information appeared on the screen.
Ran Yu looked at the photo above, then turned to compare it with the man's exposed eyebrows and eyes, and suddenly realized.
"So you are Cen Tingye."
[He's a real heartthrob! Well, not a bad deal.]
"Judging from what you're saying, you two are already married, how could you not know each other?" the policeman laughed.
“This is actually our first time meeting,” Ran Yu muttered, then asked, “So, can we correct the information?”
The policeman shook his head: "No, we don't have that authority."
Ran Yu: "We don't know each other."
The police suggested, "You two are a perfect match, let's cherish this connection. Just chat more and you'll get to know each other better. Look how well-matched you are!"
Ran Yu: "What if it still doesn't work?"
The policeman shrugged: "Then you'll have to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce."
To be honest, he's still skeptical of their stories. Could it be that they're just making things up to deceive him so they won't wait for the divorce cooling-off period?
[Civil Affairs Bureau. No wonder Cen Tingye said he'd pick me up next Monday; it seems he already knew the situation.]
As they walked out of the police station, Ran Yu called out to someone, "Hey, what were you thinking?"
The note had two heavy scratches under the word "divorce".
Cen Guanzhou: "Divorce."
Ran Yu hid the smile in her eyes and took out her phone: "Okay, let's exchange contact information and arrange a time to meet at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau."
So the system was right, I'm actually quite good at acting?
