Chapter 4 Annoying
Xia Yu pressed his hand to his chest, took a deep breath, and relied on his strong ability to regulate his emotions to regain his composure. Once he calmed down, the word "death" that Xia Zhen had said kept echoing in his ears.
No, that was just something a child said in the heat of the moment; don't take it seriously.
Ten minutes later, Xia Yu still hadn't turned a single page of the document in his hand.
Finally, he put down the documents and smoothly took out his phone to call the driver.
Uncle Zhao, who answered the phone, immediately said, "President Xia, what's the matter?"
"Did the banquet end very late today? Zhenzhen is back so late."
"No, Miss left the banquet a long time ago."
Uncle Zhao recounted Xia Zhen's departure from the banquet, praising her helpfulness and expressing his pride in her actions.
Xia Yu looked surprised. He knew that his daughter was actually very much like him at heart. The Xia family would not do good deeds that were meaningless to them.
When Uncle Zhao mentioned that she later went to the river, Xia Yu pressed, "What was Zhenzhen doing by the river?"
"The young lady said she was in a bad mood and wanted to get some fresh air."
Did she say anything?
"Miss seemed to have said... something about how it would be nice if people could drift freely like fallen leaves on water."
Fallen leaves on the water?
drift?
She just mentioned "death"!
Xia Yu's expression changed slightly, and he gripped his phone tighter.
At this moment, Xia Zhen was already comfortably lying in bed. She opened a group chat on her phone called "Plastic Sisters," where many rich young ladies had sent her numerous messages of comfort, feigning sadness.
【Zhenzhen, don't be sad. Song Heng was just curious about what your family's second young lady was like, so he invited her to dance.】
Yes, Zhenzhen, you're so beautiful and sensible, how could Song Heng not like you?
[Yeah, he definitely didn't invite Tang Susu to dance because Tang Susu is prettier or cuter than you!]
[Zhenzhen, my fiancé was worried I'd be bored, so he recently bought me a cruise ship. Let's go out and relax together sometime!]
My fiancé insisted on buying me a small island to escape the heat, saying it's too hot. Zhenzhen, let's go there together!
...
Xia Zhen read through the messages that had gone off-topic and were now showing off her fiancé one by one. Suddenly, she received a text message on her phone. With a calm mind, she took a screenshot of the message and sent it to the group chat.
[Waaaaah, I'm so sad. I don't have a great fiancé like you guys, nor am I as likable. When I'm sad, no one buys me anything. My dad, that straight-laced guy, only gives me pocket money. I really hate this money-grubbing stuff!]
The screenshot shows: Royal Bank reminds you that your bank card ending in 8888 has received a deposit of 9,999,999, and your current balance is...
Counting the remaining balance again, the string of zeros at the end is simply dazzling.
In every corner of the city, many wealthy young ladies tacitly chose to put down their phones and then take a deep breath.
I'm still so angry!
Xia Zhen felt relieved. From childhood to adulthood, she had never suffered a loss in this circle of socialites. It was a pity that she would be transferring schools soon and wouldn't have so much time to play the scheming game with so many lovely rich girls.
It was late, and she was about to wash up and go to bed when her phone screen suddenly went black. Just as she was wondering what was going on, the screen lit up again, displaying a pink interface.
A white star-shaped candy is inside a heart-shaped glass jar.
She suspected that her phone had gotten a virus because she had been browsing too many obscure websites at night.
The pink interface was filled with little pink hearts, which looked very dreamy. Before she could figure out what was going on, a dialog box popped up.
Welcome to the exciting upup mobile game!
I'm the new player guide, just call me Xiaoxin!
A cute, chibi-style sprite flies around on the screen, smiling adorably.
Xia Zhen kept trying to quit the game that she didn't know when she downloaded, but she failed each time.
The little elf waved his magic wand. [The tutorial isn't over yet; you can't quit the game.]
What the heck!
The little elf blinked its big eyes, "[To compensate you for accidentally entering the world of the book due to a mistake by the Time and Space Administration, we've specially come to give you a cheat code!]"
Xia Zhen sat up abruptly in bed. She remembered that she was walking along the road when she suddenly stepped into a hole and inexplicably ended up in this world.
Furthermore, she had no memory of being a transmigrator in those seventeen years. If she hadn't remembered everything, she would still be happily following Song Heng around, clamoring to be his fiancée!
Xia Zhen stared at her phone. "I don't want a cheat, just send me back."
The fairy waved her magic wand, and another dialogue box appeared: "[No, you're already dead in that world.]"
Xia Zhen was silent for a moment, then asked, "What kind of cheat code are you going to give me?"
The little elf looked very excited, thinking, "[Raise a boyfriend!]"
"...What do you mean?"
[You'll receive a star-shaped candy for every good deed you do. These candies have healing powers! Give the star-shaped candy to Little White, and it will heal him!]
"And who is Little White?"
With a flick of the magic wand, the phone screen changed to a black house. There was nothing inside, but upon closer inspection, a figure was huddled in the corner.
It was a slender boy, probably only six or seven years old. What was particularly striking was his very fair skin, and even his hair was white.
He hugged his knees with both hands, burying his face in them, as if he were holding himself tightly in his arms. Only in this way could he obtain a little bit of warmth.
【Ta-da! This is Little White!】 The little sprite flew above the boy's head, and the dialogue box appeared in the corner of the screen, but the boy could neither see nor hear anything.
Little White is so hungry, so cold, and so uncomfortable! Quickly feed Little White some star-shaped candies!
The glass jar containing star-shaped candies appeared in the upper right corner of the screen, flashing incessantly, as if urging the phone's owner to tap it quickly.
Xia Zhen tried reaching out and tapping the screen.
The glass bottle was opened, and the star-shaped candies inside flew out, landing on the little boy's head. The faint white light blended into his white hair and then disappeared.
The little boy remained motionless.
Xia Zhen tapped the screen a few times, "It's completely useless."
[It's useful, but the surprises to come will have to wait for players to discover them. I'm going to guide the travelers from other worlds now. This concludes the tutorial. Have fun playing the game, bye-bye~]
