Chapter 118 If they were newlyweds...
It's getting late.
Xia Zhen came to see Lu Jin on a whim. She knew that Lu Jin was working and that she had already bothered him for so long, so she felt embarrassed to stay any longer.
So, Xia Zhen tugged at his sleeve and said, "Lu Jin, I'm going back now. You focus on your work."
Lu Jin grabbed her hand. "It's time to eat. Let's go out to eat."
Xia Zhen glanced at her phone; it was already midnight. She asked with a hint of worry, "Are you allowed to go out for dinner whenever you want?"
"There's a lunch break, I can just come back during my work hours."
Xia Zhen hadn't eaten with him in a long time, so when she heard him say that, she nodded and said, "Okay then."
Lu Jin tidied up the things on the table, took the girl's hand with one hand, picked up her small bag with the other, and led her out of the lounge.
Worried that she might be thirsty, he even brought her a bottle of water.
It was lunchtime, and the elevator was quite crowded; some people were going to the cafeteria, while others were going out to eat.
Lu Jin led Xia Zhen into the elevator in the middle. Coincidentally, several people from their office were also there, including the woman who had tried to tease Lu Jin earlier.
When they saw that Lu Jin had brought a beautiful girl in, they were all stunned.
The elevator was crowded, and Lu Jin, being tall, stood out like a crane among chickens. He carefully protected the girl next to him, making sure no one else could touch her.
What is their relationship?
Are they siblings?
Could they be boyfriend and girlfriend?!
Occasionally, Lu Jin would lean down and whisper something to the girl. When he spoke to her, his aloofness seemed to disappear, and the tenderness in his eyes was enough to make anyone's heart pound.
It's not that Lu Jin is so handsome that he makes people's hearts flutter, but rather the contrast that exists in this young man.
When the ice and snow that never melt for thousands of years transform into flowing spring water, they become exceptionally precious.
Many people know that a young man with white hair has joined the company; his appearance is not surprising.
However, Xia Zhen's appearance was a pleasant surprise.
The girl with two fluffy braids had fair skin, delicate features, and a bright, sunny smile; she was pure and beautiful.
This is practically the ideal girlfriend in many men's hearts.
Even these overworked office workers are starting to feel romantic feelings.
However, when the boy's silent gaze swept over them, they all quickly looked away.
Xia Zhen held out her hand holding the water bottle. "Lu Jin, the cap is too tight. I can't unscrew it."
Lu Jin took the water bottle, easily unscrewed the cap, and brought it to her lips.
Xia Zhen took a sip and then stopped drinking, and he screwed the cap back on.
Several people cast meaningful glances at a woman standing to the side.
The woman raised her hand to cover her face, feeling ashamed.
This kid isn't clueless; he's clearly selectively becoming enlightened!
The elevator doors opened.
Xia Zhen smiled victoriously and obediently let the boy lead her out of the elevator.
Although they had an umbrella, it was hot outside, and Xia Zhen was still worried that Lu Jin's body couldn't handle it, so they just randomly found a noodle shop nearby.
Xia Zhen and Lu Jin are a very eye-catching pair; it's hard for others not to notice them.
A girl in a white dress sat in the corner as if waiting for something. As soon as she saw Xia Zhen, she sat up straight.
Why is the villainous female supporting character here?
Wait, who is that white-haired boy next to her?!
She called upon the system in her mind, "What's going on? Who is that person walking with Xia Zhen?"
A mechanical system voice sounded, "[Lu Jin.]"
"What are his detailed profiles?"
Born with albinism, he later became disabled in both legs and died in the hospital shortly afterward.
"But he was perfectly fine when he left!"
His fate has changed, and it's impossible to predict what will happen to this character next.
The girl exclaimed in surprise, "Could he be someone who has awakened like me?"
Ruan Mianmian, a girl with a low profile, secretly loves Song Heng but never has the courage to talk to him. It is by chance that she helps Song Heng to be reborn and changes his fate of being abandoned by everyone.
A character in a story cannot have their fate changed without a reason.
Ruan Mianmian stared at Lu Jin over there. Was he like her? But why was he walking with Xia Zhen? Didn't he know how bad Xia Zhen was?
When Song Heng was in trouble, Xia Zhen went to get close to Mu Zhijing. If this white-haired boy were to fall on hard times, she would definitely abandon him too!
The system notification left Ruan Mianmian no time to think, because Song Heng was about to appear nearby.
She had been waiting here hoping for a chance to win over Song Heng, but now that Xia Zhen was here, that wouldn't do. She couldn't let Song Heng and Xia Zhen have any contact!
Ruan Mianmian hurriedly walked out of the shop and sure enough, she saw Song Heng walking in this direction not far away, accompanied by his red-haired and yellow-haired underlings.
Ruan Mianmian hurriedly said, "System, let's change our strategy. You help me create an accident so that Song Heng can't get close to this place, and then I'll go help him. That way, I can also get closer to him."
Creating unexpected events requires points to redeem.
"I'll exchange it for any number of points!"
The system responded indifferently: [Points redemption successful. An advertising billboard will fall from the roof in thirty seconds. The host can then proceed with the conquest of the target.]
With excitement in her heart, Ruan Mianmian slowly walked towards Song Heng.
A gust of wind blew, and one of the billboards moved.
Song Heng, however, was completely oblivious. He listened to his underlings' ramblings behind him with boredom, or perhaps he wasn't listening at all.
The next second, the billboard came down.
Ruan Mianmian rushed over, but before she could even make a move, a passerby swung his baseball bat and knocked the billboard away.
It flew away!?
Red-haired and Yellow-haired: "Holy crap!"
Song Heng could feel the wind from the billboard flying out, which messed up his hair. He paused for a second, then looked at the burly man who had made the move, along with his two underlings.
But it wasn't a muscular man; it was a girl.
The girl with wavy hair held a baseball bat in one hand and took out a lollipop from her mouth with the other. She clicked her tongue and said, "What a shoddy construction project!"
And what kind of strongwoman is she!
Ruan Mianmian: "System!"
The host can spend points to redeem the cheat again.
Ruan Mianmian: "I'll change!"
The tree along the path to the objective will fall down in thirty seconds.
Ruan Mianmian kept her eyes fixed on Song Heng's direction, ready to rush out at any moment.
The red-haired and yellow-haired men kept turning back to look at the girl with big, wavy hair not far away, their eyes filled with admiration.
Just then, a tree moved.
Song Heng happened to be passing by when the tree fell down.
This is the time!
Ruan Mianmian rushed out immediately.
But in the next instant, someone had already kicked the tree that was about to fall, straightening it.
The girl, who was chewing on a lollipop, pulled her foot back, frowned, and asked, "What kind of garbage project is this?"
The blond and red-haired guys exclaimed, "What a cool girl!"
Song Heng couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his neck. What was going on? Something felt off about him today.
Ruan Mianmian: "...System?"
The system paused briefly, a rare occurrence. [The host can exchange for more advanced cheats, reducing their level from having them to not having them, but the required points are higher.]
Ruan Mianmian had already spent half of the points she had painstakingly earned, but when she saw Song Heng, she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll exchange them!"
[In thirty seconds, a manhole with a missing cover will appear on Song Heng's path. The host should pull him away before he enters.]
This sounds like it has a pretty good success rate!
Ruan Mianmian rallied her spirits and moved closer to Song Heng.
Song Heng was now taking each step with caution, paying attention to the flowers and plants around him. However, he overlooked the fact that a sewer opening missing its cover had suddenly appeared in front of him.
Just as he was about to step down, an advertising board was kicked over and moved horizontally, blocking the sewer opening.
Song Heng: "..."
The girl had already finished her lollipop, and as if she couldn't take it anymore, she said, "There's garbage everywhere!"
Immediately afterwards, she took out her phone and dialed the mayor's hotline, "What do you mean? Do the people in this city have no public morality? You collect so much tax from the people and all you do is build this garbage project! I'm telling you, resolve this matter immediately, or I'll call the TV station!"
The blond and red-haired men next to them grabbed each other's hands, exclaiming, "She's so cool! She's like a queen!"
Song Heng withdrew the foot he had stepped out. He remained silent, wondering if he was having an exceptionally unlucky day.
I was originally planning to go out for noodles with my buddies, but something's definitely not right today.
He turned around and said, "Let's not have noodles today, let's have hot pot instead."
The two underlings followed reluctantly.
When Ruan Mianmian saw that her points were about to be wiped out, she felt extremely distressed. She also stared at the woman on the phone with a mixture of anxiety and anger, "System, who exactly is that woman?!"
The system was silent for a very long time. [BUG.]
"I don't care! You need to refund my points!"
You have been disconnected from the server. Please try again later.
Ruan Mianmian was shocked!
Inside the noodle shop, because of the commotion earlier, several customers couldn't resist peeking out the window to see what was going on.
Xia Zhen drank a glass of ice-cold lemonade and felt refreshed. She glanced out the window and saw a girl in a white dress whose makeup was smudged by sweat. The girl was also stomping her feet angrily in the sun.
Xia Zhen burst out laughing.
When ordering, she forgot to say no cilantro. Lu Jin was diligently picking out the cilantro for her when he heard her laughter. He looked up and asked, "What's so funny?"
“That person…” Xia Zhen pointed to the person outside the window, “She’s so funny.”
Lu Jin glanced at her and thought the woman talking to herself looked like a crazy woman, but she was entertaining, which was fine.
He placed the bowl of noodles, after he had picked out the cilantro, in front of her. "Zhenzhen, you can eat now."
Xia Zhen picked up her chopsticks and used a spoon to put the braised egg from her bowl into Lu Jin's bowl. "Darling, you've worked hard, you should eat more."
Lu Jin's lips curled up slightly, though it was unclear whether it was because she felt sorry for him or because of the way she addressed him.
Xia Zhen leaned closer to him and whispered, "Did what I just said sound like something a newlywed wife would say to her newlywed husband?"
Lu Jin's chopsticks trembled.
Seeing his ears turn red, Xia Zhen laughed out loud happily.
Lu Jin looked at her with a deep gaze, "If we were newlyweds, do you think you would still have the energy to serve me food?"
This time, it was Xia Zhen who blushed.
