Chapter 17: An Invitation to a Battleground
"Mommy~" Shen Mingjiao began to whine as soon as she stepped into the quiet room.
Unfortunately, Aunt Shen has no intention of letting her daughter off easily today.
She looked at her daughter and gave her a meaningful glance.
Shen Mingjiao could only groan in pain before reluctantly closing the door.
The room was simply furnished, with white walls on all four sides and only two futons and a wooden chair in the middle of the floor.
Aunt Shen sat down on the wooden chair, while Shen Mingjiao pouted and knelt on the prayer mat.
"You're quite self-aware," Aunt Shen said, shaking her head as she looked at her daughter.
"Mom, I was wrong." Shen Mingjiao knelt on the prayer mat, her little face drooping. Her tone was soft and coquettish, clearly indicating that she was trying to plead for mercy.
"What did she do wrong?" Aunt Shen only needed one look to know that Shen Mingjiao simply didn't want to stay in the quiet room, not that she knew she was wrong.
"I shouldn't have run away from home." When talking about running away from home, Shen Mingjiao's guilt was visibly obvious.
To everyone's surprise, Aunt Shen shook her head.
"Running away from home is not the problem; the problem is that you didn't protect yourself when you ran away from home."
When Aunt Chen got to this point, Shen Mingjiao's heart sank, and she felt something was wrong.
If her mother were to give her a stern scolding right now, the matter would be over.
But if Mom is so slow and methodical... then things definitely won't be resolved so quickly.
Shen Mingjiao planned to avoid her mother's scolding by not arguing back.
But Shen Mingjiao wanted to refute the very first sentence that followed.
"Besides, Qi Shaoyou isn't suitable for you." Aunt Shen's words made Shen Ming's delicate cheeks puff up like a little squirrel stealing food.
"Why? She's perfect for me!"
"I am sensitive to alpha hormones. If an alpha gets close, I will either vomit or faint."
"But I was right next to her and nothing happened to me!"
"If I were to be with an alpha in this world, it would definitely be Qi Shaoyou."
Shen Mingjiao didn't understand why her mother was so opposed to it, so she accidentally let it slip.
"Close contact?" Aunt Shen's eyes suddenly sharpened, and her tone was completely different from before.
Shen Mingjiao quickly shook her head.
"No, no, I...I...I misspoke..."
"I only smelled a tiny bit of her pheromones."
Shen Mingjiao dared not tell the truth, lest her mother find out that Qi Shaoyou kissed her on their first meeting.
That means Qi Shaoyou's reputation with his mother will be completely ruined!
Shen Mingjiao was unaware that Qi Shaoyou had already lost favor with Aunt Shen because of the cabbage incident.
Seeing her mother's ambiguous expression, Shen Mingjiao simply started to argue and throw a tantrum.
"I don't care, I really don't have those feelings for Sister Song! I just like Qi Shaoyou!"
Shen Mingjiao tried to take all the blame upon herself, and Aunt Shen's face grew increasingly dark as she listened to her daughter's remarks.
"You may like her, but she may not like you back. Besides, Qi Shaoyou is living with Liang Man."
"One is an alpha and the other is an omega, and Liang Man is so beautiful."
"My dear daughter, how do you know what their relationship is?"
When Shen Mingjiao heard that Qi Shaoyou was living with Liang Man, a famous actress, she felt as if her heart was filled with vinegar.
After all, she admitted that Liang Man was really good-looking.
"I don't care, I believe she must have a reason for living together. She must like me!" Shen Mingjiao thought of what Qi Shaoyou had said: Miss Shen is of course the best.
How could anyone not like the best? She is the best, so of course Qi Shaoyou likes her the most!
Aunt Shen was still angry when she turned her head and saw Shen Mingjiao smiling sweetly.
Her daughter is such a love-struck fool; one second she's angry, the next she's made up with him.
It's hopeless.
Aunt Shen decided to try a different approach to discourage her daughter.
"Jiaojiao, I know you like Qi Shaoyou. But do you know how long your feelings can last?"
"You've had many hobbies and interests since you were a child, including playing the guqin, pottery, and surfing."
"But every time you win the award you want, you never touch the sport again."
"And what about Qi Shaoyou? When are you planning to stop liking her?"
"Wait until she likes you and then stop liking her? Jiaojiao, if you wait until you're bound by a lifelong commitment, you two will never be able to separate."
"If you get tired of it by then, there will be no way back."
"At that time, we will truly be together for life."
Aunt Shen rubbed her temples. Shen Mingjiao had never given her a moment's peace since she was a child.
Because of her Alph allergy problem, she searched all her friends' circles before finding Song Youbai, a beta who was suitable for Shen Mingjiao.
Moreover, Song Youbai genuinely likes Shen Mingjiao.
As it turned out, her daughter was completely clueless.
"No! I really like Qi Shaoyou! I won't abandon her!"
Shen Mingjiao looked resolute, but she was actually a little nervous inside. Just like her mother said, once she was satisfied with something, she would put it down completely.
But……
Qi Shaoyou is different, isn't he...?
She's a person, and besides, if you're really afraid of losing her, like Mom said, you should just have Qi Shaoyou mark her for life sooner rather than later.
Shen Mingjiao thinks she is a little genius.
However, her solution would probably make Aunt Shen faint immediately.
"Stay here and think about it for half an hour before you come out! Use your brain!"
Aunt Shen felt a headache coming on, but she also knew that she couldn't object too strongly at this time.
If strongly opposed, Shen Mingjiao's rebellious spirit will rise. At that point, things will become even more complicated.
She has a very clear understanding of her daughter in this regard.
If persuading her daughter didn't work, she could only try to get through to Qi Shaoyou.
The principal was her friend, so getting a student's contact information was quite easy.
Just as Qi Shaoyou was punishing Shen Ping for her remarks, a message came through on his phone.
She picked up her phone, and the first second after seeing what it said, she felt like she was going to faint.
Why... Shen Mingjiao's mother invited her to discuss this in detail.
What to talk about? No, what could she and Aunt Shen possibly have to talk about?
Just as Qi Shaoyou was feeling dizzy, Chen Ping suddenly changed his expression and brought a second piece of news that gave Qi Shaoyou a headache.
"Sister You, Song Youbai said Shen Mingjiao asked you out."
"Seriously, would I give her my contact information for that kind of thing?"
"But anyway, she contacted me!" Shen Ping's cheeks flushed red, and she kept shaking her body, clearly shy.
Qi Shaoyou felt his body hardening as he was invited out by Aunt Shen and then by Shen Mingjiao.
If she pretends to be a corpse and submits a death certificate for herself, will she be able to escape this fate?
Back when she was in the villain group, nothing she did was as scary as this!
The Feast at Hongmen...plus version...
[Huh? Aunt Shen and Shen Mingjiao both invited you to the same restaurant, sir?]
"Then we won't have to travel so much."
Qi Shaoyou: That's wonderful! I can go see my daughter right after being slapped by my mother, with fresh handprints on my face...
How can it not be considered on-time delivery?
————————!!————————
Qi Shaoyou: Can a battleground really be played like this? [Cracked] Author, come here, I have a treasure to show you. [Angry]
Author: I'm a steadfastly good person, and I have absolutely no interest in your Green Dragon Crescent Blade. [Glasses]
I'd like to recommend my friend's pre-order; feel free to add it to your favorites if you're interested! [Dog head with rose in hand]
After marrying a restricted robot
A handsome, powerful, and tragic genius programmer meets an omniscient and omnipotent android.
A closed-off, sensitive, and obsessive programmer meets a yandere robot with perfect cognition but misguided understanding.
On her 26th birthday, Cen Xuran received birthday gifts from her parents, who had passed away 10 years prior.
An R-class robot.
The robot's first words after activation.
"Cen Xuran, please marry me."
"???"
Are you kidding me? Making her marry an AI robot?
The rejected robot wasn't angry; the program continued, and it offered a more constructive suggestion.
"Let's do it. Sexual intercourse can increase your oxytocin levels by 280% and decrease your cortisol levels by 41%. If you continue to be in contact for more than 8 hours, the probability of establishing interpersonal rapport will increase by 63%. That way, you will like me, and we can get married."
"???"
"My think tank has a wealth of learning resources, I guarantee you will be very happy."
"roll!"
-
"The 583rd request, is it really not possible?"
"Can't."
Cen Xuran suspected that Luo Shu's programming had a bug. How could a service robot have such a strong desire? The system needed to be corrected.
Luo Shu looked at her pitifully.
"If I don't marry Xu Ran and can't win his love, I'll die."
“You’re not human, you won’t die,” Cen Xuran replied coldly.
Completely unaware of Luo Shu's disappointed look.
-
"So Xu Ran is going to kill me?"
"Just restart the program."
"Rebooting the program means wiping my memory, I will never know you again, and I can be used by anyone. Xu Ran, are you really going to do this?" The robot lying on the control panel did not resist and stared at her quietly.
"Cen Xuran, I love you."
Cen Xuran didn't speak, seemingly understanding her meaning, and Luo Shu stopped looking at her.
"The first rule is that you must never disobey your master's orders."
Cen Xuran closed his eyes and pressed the button.
-
Later, seeing the Luo Shu appear beside others and be used by them, Cen Xuran could no longer hold back.
She tried to pull Luo Shu away, but Luo Shu just looked at her coldly and said, "Hello, sir. Please let go of me. I am not your service robot."
She pulled Luo Shu back to the room and pushed him onto the bed, saying, "Didn't you say you loved me?"
"Now, do it like you always said!
