Chapter 19 Fragments of the Heroine's Halo in Old-Fashioned Novels
To answer or not to answer, that is the question.
Accepting the offer might get you a severe scolding, but not accepting it might get you killed.
After weighing the two options, Fu Yan answered the phone, her voice hesitant, "Second Brother..."
Her words were immediately interrupted by Fu Jinzhi's cold laugh, "Sister-in-law, open the door. I'm my brother, aren't I?"
"It was just a joke, brother. I'm the younger sister, not the younger brother!" Fu Yan argued.
Fu Jinzhi's voice was cold and magnetic, but what he said made Fu Yan's eyes go black: "You haven't been in a relationship since you broke up with your boyfriend in college. It's not impossible that you were hurt by a scumbag and changed your sexual orientation."
"So you only got married before falling in love at 26? Is it because you liked men before?!" Fu Yan was stung and dared to attack even Fu Jinzhi.
Ignoring the second half of the sentence, Fu Jinzhi fell into deep thought.
Marriage of convenience that blossomed into love... Does that mean he and Wen Yao are in a relationship?
Should we consider moving in with Wen Yao? Should we have a grand wedding? Should we have children? How many?
Forget it, what if Wen Yao doesn't like children? We can't let these inexplicable things become a burden on our relationship...
Seeing that Fu Jinzhi hadn't replied for a long time, Fu Yan gradually regained her senses and wanted to slap herself: Serves you right for being so foul-mouthed!
"Sorry, bro, don't hold it against me."
"I promise I'll move out first thing tomorrow morning, and when you come back, you won't see a single hair of me. I won't be in your way!"
Fu Jinzhi snapped out of her reverie and said with a smile, "No need for that."
Fu Yan was so moved that tears almost fell from her eyes. Her second brother still loved her after all, and he didn't send her away!
Fu Jinzhi continued, "Start packing now. I've already notified the driver, and he'll take you home later."
You have one hour to tidy up.
Fu Yan: !!!
Damn it, Fu Jinzhi, you really have no humanity when it comes to women.
How could someone kick their own sister out at 11 p.m. just because they were jealous?
Fu Jinzhi hung up the phone coldly and began to think about how to appease Wen Yao.
The bodyguards I sent said she really liked wearing that wedding ring when she went out. Did she like the ring itself, or the gemstone...?
In fact, Wen Yao simply likes expensive things.
Wen Yao is in a state of collapse. She lies motionless on the bed, like a corpse.
8848 attempted to soothe: "From a worldly perspective, those who are beautiful but devoid of substance are merely flesh and bones; they see your physical body but cannot touch your soul."
From a legal perspective, the male protagonist is your legal spouse, so you don't need to feel embarrassed.
"It's a loss." Wen Yao's voice was light and airy, her emotions like an iceberg beneath the sea, only the tip of which was visible, making her impossible to fathom.
What was lost?
"I haven't even taken advantage of Fu Jinzhi, so why should he be the one to see me naked first?"
Wen Yao was only briefly embarrassed at the time, but then she was filled with anger. There was no reason for her to suffer such a great loss, and she had to find a way to make up for it.
8848 felt that he would never be able to understand such a complex creature as humans.
Wen Yao suddenly lifted her head from the pillow, her tone somewhat unfriendly, "8848, you're not going to be spying on me 24/7 without any privacy settings, are you?"
[I've told you many times, we are a legitimate system, and we are far ahead of our peers in terms of human rights protection.]
[Whenever a private scene is involved that is unrelated to the mission, I will blur out everything in front of me.]
Besides, we are different species. Humans are to the system what goats are to humans; a goat is a goat whether it wears clothes or not.
[It's highly unlikely that interspecies love or desire would arise; that would be too abnormal.]
Wen Yao detected a hint of sarcasm in 8848's long post, and her lips twitched.
"I'm sorry, Brother Tong, I was just being malicious. How could someone as human as me be worthy of touching someone as code-bound as you?"
"I was just being delusional."
【Ha.】8848 let out a cold snort.
[All previous rewards have been processed. You now have one storyline and one item in your system inventory. Would you like to view them now?]
[It is recommended to unlock the world-line storylines at key moments, so that you can accurately pinpoint the plot changes you want to make.]
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's take a look at the props first!" Wen Yao regained her bright and cheerful appearance, hugging the blanket with anticipation in her eyes.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the item [Fragment of the Heroine's Halo from an Old-Fashioned Novel]]
[Item Description: The heroine of an old novel had many protagonist halos, and you were fortunate enough to obtain a fragment of one of them.]
This fragment governs survival. Activate it, and whether you're in a car accident, an earthquake, or fall off a cliff, no matter how many times the hospital issues a critical condition notice, you will survive and recover completely.
Of course, it will also trigger amnesia 100% of the time. (Recovery time is random.)
"Wow, this is so cool!" Wen Yao clapped her hands. Although the description was funny, this prop was essentially like having an extra life.
8848 was also surprised. [The "Protagonist Aura" series of items are rare, equivalent to an SSR in a gacha game. The host has very good luck.]
Wen Yao lightly tapped her chin, her cat-like eyes sparkling, "I don't think it's just good luck."
"This item is a reward for changing Wen Yao's fate, I guess..."
"Changing the fate of the characters in the book is a hidden strategy for your headquarters."
8848 hesitated for a moment, then said, "Perhaps you're right. When I return to headquarters for my report, I'll subtly inquire about my parents or brother."
No matter how many times Wen Yao heard about 8848's relatives, she would feel very strange. It was hard to imagine that the data system could be a living being and could form a family.
"Humans are, after all, low-dimensional beings. How could they possibly understand our high-dimensional systems? Don't waste your brain cells." - 8848 proudly replied.
Wen Yao didn't get up until noon the next day.
Recalling Fu Yan's muttered "video play" while she was running away last night, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and didn't want to face it for a moment.
Unable to bear the hunger any longer, he reluctantly went downstairs, only to find that Fu Yan, who usually loved to lounge on the living room sofa, was not there.
"Wang Ma, where's Xiao Yan?" Wen Yao asked Wang Ma while enjoying her meal.
Wang Ma straightened her apron, her eyes filled with resentment and disapproval. Her voice was sullen as she said, "Miss left last night."
"Huh?!" Wen Yao was so surprised that she dropped her spoon on the table.
No way? She's the one who should be in an awkward position, not Fu Yan.
Seeing Wen Yao's expression, Wang Ma felt as if she had found a comrade, and she continued to mutter.
"Yes, she insisted on leaving around midnight last night, I don't know why."
"In such a rush, I didn't even bring the cookies I baked."
"Hehe, really?" Wen Yao forced a smile. "Then I'll bring some cookies next time I visit her."
Surely not, why would they pack up and run away overnight?
While hesitating whether to contact Fu Yan, Wen Yao received a WeChat message:
"Come to Baxianzhuang at 7:00 PM tonight. I've booked a private room. Just tell the waiter my name and bring it up."
The message was completely businesslike, devoid of any formalities, which suited the sender's style perfectly.
