Chapter 115 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
After having a frank conversation with Wen Yu, and considering that she was still Xia Yu's daughter, Xia Zhen still called Xia Yu with fatherly affection.
"Dad, do you know why Mom divorced you?"
Xia Yu replied, "She doesn't like me."
Xia Zhen was surprised. It turned out her father was quite self-aware. "Then do you know why my mother doesn't like you?"
The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then said, "I was too good to her, which put a lot of pressure on her."
"...How can it be good?"
"She was too thin, so I would have people prepare lots of delicious food for her, and I would also give her timely affirmation and encouragement when she gained weight."
Xia Zhen: "..."
“She once said she wanted to go out to work, but I’m not like those men who would make their wives and children suffer. I can handle the work myself, and she just needs to stay at home and play with you.”
Xia Zhen: "Are you trying to say that you're quite romantic, remembering to send my mom roses?"
Xia Yu's tone revealed a hint of pride, "I didn't originally intend to say this, but since you brought it up, I'll say a few words. Yes, I thought she was going through a tough pregnancy, so I sent her a whole room full of roses. Your mother was very happy at the time."
"Where did you get the idea that my mom was happy?"
“Your mother was very emotional and touched at the time. I saw her run out crying.”
"dad."
"Um?"
My mom is allergic to roses.
Xia Yu: "..."
Xia Zhen hung up the phone, shaking her head and sighing.
Forget it, this old geezer is beyond saving.
Wen Yu had already gone to work on the film set, leaving Xia Zhen alone in the house.
She nestled on the sofa and opened the pink-icon mini-game. When she saw a figure suddenly appear on the screen, Xia Zhen excitedly sat up.
What was once a dark and cramped room has long since become a spacious and bright room, with bright windows, tall bookshelves, and a spacious desk.
The little white cat was lazily basking in the sun on the windowsill.
And that white-haired boy had unknowingly grown into a teenager.
He was sitting in a chair.
Surprisingly, a girl in a green floral dress was sitting in his lap.
The boy's face was not visible, nor was the girl's face.
But you can see the girl's graceful figure; she is barefoot, swaying back and forth in mid-air, and the boy's fingertips are gently stroking her long black hair.
He was still holding a hair tie in his hand.
The boy is braiding the girl's hair.
Although I don't want to be narcissistic, who else but her could be qualified to sit in his lap and let him braid her hair?
Xia Zhen's heart was pounding wildly.
The game screen suddenly froze at this moment, and starlight appeared on the screen. [Congratulations, player, you have obtained the perfect ending CG!]
What?
Is that the end?
Xia Zhen frowned.
The new player guide sprite, which had been missing for a long time, reappeared. It flew around the screen with a grin, and then a line of text appeared on the screen.
[Players, don't worry! You've achieved the perfect ending, meaning Little White's inner world has gone from empty to full! You no longer need to feel any excitement!]
So we're going to retire gracefully!
[Friendly reminder: what I said before about providing cheats to players is true. There's a minor character in the player's world who has awakened her own consciousness, and she even has a completely emotionless system!]
[Players beware! A moment's carelessness could send them into complete chaos. But little Whitey is here for you!]
Xia Zhen's eyelids twitched. "What does 'extra awakening' mean? Why does she get a system while I don't? What kind of cheat code are you giving me? Hurry up and get me a system! I want a system that can turn me into an overpowered dragon!"
Sorry, no, because we've already provided the most powerful cheat to the players.
What's the most powerful cheat/hack?
True love.
With a wave of the elf's magic wand, the classic fairy tale quote appeared on the screen: "True love conquers all!"
Xia Zhen: "..."
[Anomalies detected from another world. I have to go now. This is the last time we'll meet. Goodbye!]
With a "pop," the fireworks burst into bloom.
The entire game has disappeared.
Xia Zhen went through all the files on her phone but couldn't find any trace of the game. There was just one more CG image in her photo album: the back view of the boy and girl.
Her mind kept replaying the little elf's words about an extra having a system, and her eyes suddenly started twitching uncontrollably.
In that instant, she thought of Lu Jin.
Since she fell in love with Lu Jin at first sight, what if other girls also fell in love with Lu Jin?
Moreover, that person has cheat codes; what if she can't beat them?
After all, Lu Jin is so handsome, speaks so sweetly, and is even willing to work out his abs for her. Anyone with a bit of taste would definitely like him!
Actually... it's not that exaggerated.
She truly sees beauty in the eye of the beholder this time.
Xia Zhen felt increasingly terrified as she thought about it. She opened her phone and searched for the address of the Lu family's company building. Then, she quickly tidied herself up, not even bothering to tie her hair up, grabbed a bag, and went out.
However, once she arrived at the company building, she was a little unsure of what to do next.
Even if she comes here, she can't just go in. If she calls Lu Jin to pick her up, wouldn't that make her seem inconsiderate?
Knowing he was working hard, she still deliberately came to disturb him.
The security guard at the gate had been watching a pretty young girl lingering there for quite a while. With the sun so bright outside, wasn't she hot?
He was just about to ask the girl if she needed any help when he suddenly remembered something. He quickly took out his phone and scrolled through the work group. It took him a long time to find a message that his boss had sent before.
Security Captain: [Instructions from above: If you see this girl come to the company, under no circumstances should you stop her. Not only should you not stop her, you must respectfully invite her in! She must answer all her questions truthfully! Remember, do not reveal this information to this girl!]
Below was a photo of the girl, which should have been a group photo, but for some reason only the half of the photo with the girl was cropped.
The security guard stared at the photo for a while, then looked up at the girl outside. Seeing that she seemed to be giving up and about to leave, he quickly rushed out, "Little girl, wait!"
Xia Zhen stopped in her tracks.
The security guard smiled broadly and said, "Look how hot it is outside, you're all sweating. Our company has air conditioning, it's free, come in and sit for a while!"
