At this time, a servant came over with the bright red ceremonial robe in his hand. “Please put it on quickly.”
The red robe wasn’t very close-fitting, but it didn’t matter whether it fits or not. The main reason of wearing it was to fit today’s ‘embroidered ball throwing’ theme.
After Lu Jingdu put it on, a group of people surrounded him and led him upstairs.
Once upstairs, the landlord father looked at Lu Jingdu with a pleased expression on his face. “Since you have received the embroidered ball, from now on, you are my good son-in-law.”
【Congratulations to the movie king on becoming the landlord’s son-in-law!】
【Congratulations to the movie king for successfully entering the landlords family!】
【Congratulations to the movie king for being able to enjoy a long-term soft rice!】
【Congratulations, congratulations! This is really a cause for celebration!】
The tourists were shouting downstairs, “Escort them to the bridal chamber!”
“Yes, yes, yes, escort them to the bridal chamber! Immediately, at once!”
【As we all know, escorting them to the bridal chamber is the final stage of the ‘embroidered ball throwing’.】
【So, will tourists be able to watch it?】
【What are you talking about? Generally speaking, after they were escorted to the bridal chamber, the event is over.】
【Is it that simple? Then I look forward to it in vain!】
【It’s a pity, it’s a pity, can’t they improve the process of the final bridal chamber a bit more? I really want to see it.】
【Who doesn’t want to see it?】
Hearing the shouts of the tourists, the landlord said with a big smile, “Okay, escort the young lady and the young master[1]a form of address for a man used by the senior members of his wife’s family to the bridal chamber!”
【Congratulations to the movie king for his new title: Young Master.】
【Tut, tut, tut.】
With this sentence falling, that day’s ‘embroidered ball throwing’ event has come to a successful conclusion.
Ning Xiaoyu was just about to take off the cumbersome ceremonial robe when a sudden loud voice from a CP fan came from downstairs, “Son-in-law, you have to take the initiative when you’re at the bridal chamber! The young lady of our landlord’s family is lazy so you’ll need to be more proactive when the time comes!”
【???】
【Damn, that CP fan has even considered this aspect? CP Fan, something isn’t right with you! However, I like it!】
【Shows a pleased smile like an old mother.】
【The smile on my face never stopped.】
【That’s right, a salted fish has to be turned over by someone. When it comes to the bridal chamber, ahem…… you guys understand.】
【En, I understood it in seconds. So if this CP comes true in the future, the movie king will need to work harder.】
【I can’t help but imagine the scene of Xiao Yu lying like a salted fish and then…… eh, I can’t continue imagining, otherwise the live stream is going to be blocked.】
【Green and harmonious life!】
No matter how regretful the audience and the fans were, the event went to a close.
After it was done, Ning Xiaoyu and Lu Jingdu once again boarded the sedan chair and were sent to the park by four enthusiastic fans.
Arriving there, the first thing Ning Xiaoyu did was to buy green tea shortcake for one person.
The love system looked heartbroken. 【Is this how you treat your husband who married into your family? So stingy that you won’t even give him a bite to eat?】
Ning Xiaoyu, with a salted fish face, spoke to the love system expressionlessly, “He’s the landlord’s son-in-law, not mine.”
The love system clicked its imaginary tongue twice. 【Girl, as soon as the event is over, you’ve become cold and ruthless.】
For Ning Xiaoyu, throwing the embroidered ball itself was just a small game and was the same as acting.
She played the role of the young lady of the landlord’s family, but she wasn’t really one. There’s no need to be carried away.
In the end, Ning Xiaoyu bought two pieces for 10 yuan.
Speaking of which, this green tea shortcake had been famous for a long time, but unfortunately she had never tried it before.
This time, she could really enjoy herself.
Ning Xiaoyu looked at the shortcakes in her hand, lowered her head to take a bite and just as she was preparing to savor it, the voice of the love system rang out again.
【A little bit and you and the movie king would have entered the bridal chamber. The movie king is at least your husband when you played the role of the landlord’s daughter. It’s not too much to give him soft rice, right? How can you bear to eat green tea shortcakes by yourself? At this time, you can——
A: Give the movie king the green tea shortcake that you took a bite of and let him eat it!
B: Break off half of the green tea shortcake you took a bite of and give it to the movie king.
C: Let the movie king take another bite where you took one.】
Ning Xiaoyu: “???”
What hellish options were these?
Was the love system serious?
Also, what does the explanation before the option meant?
Give the movie king soft rice?
Does the movie king know how that the system was describing him like that? Was he willing to eat this soft rice? He sure wouldn’t be happy about it!
Ning Xiaoyu didn’t really know much about Lu Jingdu and had only seen his works.
But how could someone who was neither short of money nor popularity, and born with a good background, be willing to eat soft rice? As far as she knew, most men don’t like to live off a woman.
Ning Xiaoyu hadn’t read the live stream comments nor was she aware about what some of the audience were saying.
The love system heard Ning Xiaoyu’s words and asked back, 【You’re not him, how do you know that he doesn’t like eating soft rice? How do you know he’s not happy with it?】
Neither of them was Lu Jingdu, and neither of them knew exactly what Lu Jingdu was thinking. However, the love task still had to be done. Recently, Ning Xiaoyu hadn’t been doing task as frequently as before, which was both a good and a bad thing for Ning Xiaoyu.
The good thing was that she could slack off without having to do a lot of annoying tasks.
The bad thing was that with fewer tasks to do, the day her father would wake up seemed to be another day away.
But Ning Xiaoyu has a good mindset. She’d cross the bridge once she gets there and was just letting nature take its course. She was able to bind the love system, and it was extremely lucky that her father, who had been in a coma for seven years, could have a chance to wake up. Sometimes, some things couldn’t be forced.
With this in mind, Ning Xiaoyu chose a less hellish option from the three.
—B.
Only B looks slightly normal.
Ning Xiaoyu broke off a large portion of the shortcake in her hand and gave it to Lu Jingdu who was on the side. She didn’t bother to explain anything, if Lu Jingdu misunderstood that she was deliberately playing tricks on him, it would be great if he could directly reject her. Of course, if Lu Jingdu looked at her indifferently and expressed dissatisfaction with her behavior, that would be even better.
After all, she obviously had another one that hadn’t been touched, but instead of giving the good one, she gave Lu Jingdu half of the piece of shortcake that she had bitten off.
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be dissatisfied with her stinginess.
Perhaps, she would also be scolded by fans.
Just as Ning Xiaoyu was thinking this way, Lu Jingdu took half of the green tea shortcake from her hand with a natural expression, and said in a low and pleasant voice, “Thank you. I happen to be hungry.”
Ning Xiaoyu: “???”
Love System: “!!!”
Audience: “!!!”
【The movie king ate it! He really ate it!】
【Ahhhhh, eating soft rice is really addictive, right?】
【Won’t you be willing to eat green tea shortcake without spending a dime?】
【Of course I’m willing! But I’m not the movie king!】
Occasionally antis would surface, saying 【It’s just for the show.】 and 【Look at your ignorant appearance. You’re taking it seriously?】
However, these mean remarks were all ignored by passersby and CP fans.
They felt that the movie king was enjoying eating Xiao Yu’s soft rice! Gulp, gulp, soft rice is really delicious! Then let me have more!
After the two finished the green tea shortcakes, they sat down in one of the park’s gazebo.
Ning Xiaoyu leaned back against the back of the chair with a drowsy look on her face.
It couldn’t be helped, she always wants to lie down under the blanket whenever winter comes. There was no bed to lie down in right now, but sleeping was possible.
Probably because they couldn’t take her being so laid back, the second activity of the program team soon came.
“A team battle game is the best way to make people feel whether a friend is worth being with. The more they get along, the more they can feel the true character of this friend from every small details and perceive whether the other party is reliable or not.
And so the program team added a new task. In this place, there’s a real CS[2]counterstrike-like field where the guests can team up to play shooting a game and survive until the end. The team that gets first place will receive a reward.”
Ning Xiaoyu opened her eyes after hearing the show’s new task. She glanced at Lu Jingdu and found that he was also looking at her.
In the end, it was Lu Jingdu who spoke first, “Let’s go to the location.”
Ning Xiaoyu hummed.
The venue wasn’t far from the park. Not long after they arrived, other guests also came one by one.
Like them, the first thing the other guests did once they were in the park was to buy green tea shortcakes.
As soon as Shen Yueyue saw Ning Xiaoyu, she said, “What to do? I ate too much shortcake just now. I won’t be able to run.”
Ning Xiaoyu comforted, “It’s all right. This is a team game, as long as your teammates survive, it’s fine.”
A real life CS was a kind of camp match game. The participating players wear special military protective gear and equipment for simulated drills.
Due to the consideration of time and various other factors, Ning Xiaoyu and the others would be playing the simplest game. The terrain was simple and no tactics were needed, as long as their aim was accurate, there’s a high probability of winning first place. It could be considered as an extensive shooting game.
Or it could be described as simple and crude.
In terms of teams, some remained unchanged, while others needed to be reorganized.
Four people need to be divided into two groups. In short, in this game, teams of two would fight against other teams.
———
Ning Xiaoyu quickly changed her clothes.
As soon as she was done, the love system shrieked in her ears, 【Girl, the movie king looks really A-awesome in this type of outfit, it’s A-explosive!】
Ning Xiaoyu had become accustomed to the occasional craziness of the love system.
As she walked out of the locker room with a special equipment in her hand and a salted fish expression on her face, she immediately spotted the movie king coming towards her.
It has to be said that, as stated by the love system, Lu Jingdu who put on the military uniform was really A.
His not so long hair revealed a face that was sharp and angular, and too handsome to be real.
The clothes on his body accentuated his narrow waist and long legs, simply super hot. Moreover, camouflage clothes come with their own filter. In short, good-looking people look good no matter what they wear.
As soon as Lu Jingdu appeared, the live stream had been directly dominated by his fans’ rainbow farts.
Ning Xiaoyu took one look at Lu Jingdu before faintly retracting her gaze. “Let’s go and play the game. Finish it early, so it can end early.” Whether it was being eliminated early or winning the game early, it’s all the same to the salted fish king. In any case, ending early meant that she could call it a day sooner.
Regarding her unbothered attitude, both Lu Jingdu and the love system has already become accustomed to it.
Neither of them spoke and left right away, but even without speaking, the two weren’t awkward.
After all the guests were in position, the instructor gave the signal, “Start!”
When the instructor’s words fell, Ning Xiaoyu fired a headshot, neatly eliminating Xu Cheng from the game.
Ning Xiaoyu: “???”
Lu Jingdu: (⊙o⊙)
Audience: “??!”
Ning Xiaoyu herself froze. When did she become a sharpshooter?
At this time, the love system sweetly said, 【Girl, you’ve been doing tasks for so long, haven’t you noticed that your physical fitness has improved?】
Don’t tell her. Ning Xiaoyu really didn’t notice at all.
She’s lying down most of the time and wouldn’t move when she could. She hadn’t noticed any difference in her physical fitness.
It was until that moment, when she felt that her dynamic vision and hands-on ability had become better by not just a little. Therefore, there’s something really quite magical with the love system.
Seeing Ning Xiaoyu’s fierceness, part of the audience finally reacted.
【One explosive shot in one go. The movie king won’t win again without doing anything, right?? I’m envious.】
