Salted Fish Become Viral After Ignoring the Love System!
Salted Fish Become Viral After Ignoring the Love System! Chapter 23

Fishing requires patience and it just so happens that it was what Ning Xiaoyu doesn’t lack most.

She left the fishing rod alone after casting the line out.

Ning Xiaoyu moved another stool from somewhere and sat comfortably. She was holding the fishing rod with her right hand while waiting for the fish to take the bait. If the fish didn’t……

It can’t be helped.

To Ning Xiaoyu, it didn’t matter whether she catches fish or not, but rather the process of waiting for the fish to take the bait. And in this process, she could openly fish.

That’s right, the last point was what attracted her to fishing.

Ning Xiaoyu was basking in the sun while waiting to catch something. She didn’t care if this could attract the movie king or not, she was enjoying herself anyway.

So, while the other guests were chatting and playing mobile games together, Ning Xiaoyu was leisurely fishing by the lake.

Because Ning Xiaoyu was so unconventional, viewers have become increasingly curious about her.

As for Mu Jiajia, who was lying asleep on the grass, not many viewers paid her mind.

【Fishing, hhh! It’s indeed Xiaoyu’s style!】

【Xiao Yu: I wish the fish would take the bait later and let me sit for a while.】

【Xiao Yu: I love nobody.】

【This is really like Grand Duke Jiang fishing with a hookless and baitless line[1]a willing victim letting themself be caught of their own will.】

The audience had seen someone who was patient before, but they have never seen one as patient as Ning Xiaoyu. All of a sudden, passersby who were addicted to eating melons and gossip poured into her live stream.

【I came here to admire.】

Mu Jiajia was lying on the grass. It was squidgy and relatively lush, making it uncomfortable to lie on. She was used to her comfortable and soft bed, so she couldn’t sleep there at all.

She had no idea how Ning Xiaoyu could fall asleep lying in such place.

She couldn’t lie down for a minute longer!

【Bet how long it will take for Xiao Yu to catch a fish. I bet an hour.】

【I bet she won’t catch any.】

【She won’t catch any +1.】

The audience said that Ning Xiaoyu wouldn’t be able to catch fish, but it didn’t mean that there were no fish in the lake. In fact, there were many elderly who often fishes there, otherwise Ning Xiaoyu wouldn’t be able to borrow a fishing rod.

In order to increase their fun, the park would put some fry and small fish in the lake at regular intervals.

There were a lot of fish in the lake, but……

Ning Xiaoyu obviously didn’t look like a skilled angler and she was even so casual. There’s a high probability that she wouldn’t be able to catch any.

Mu Jiajia didn’t bother to lie down on the grass anymore, and together with Ning Yuwei, they watched Ning Xiaoyu fish from not far away.

Ning Yuwei smiled sweetly, “Teacher Ning, do you think you can catch a fish?”

Ning Xiaoyu: “No.”

Ning Xiaoyu was so honest that Ning Yuwei was unable to reply.

Mu Jiajia, who had just lain on the grass, got angry. She deliberately said, “Teacher Ning is too humble. Teacher Ning is so patient so how is it possible that you won’t catch any fish?”

【Love System: Excessive praise! This is absolutely killing with flattery!】

Ning Xiaoyu: “Tong[2]System’er, your vocabulary has increased.”

The love system sounded shy. 【The database is being updated every day.】

Ning Xiaoyu let out an “Oh” and reminded lightly, “However, this is not how excessive praise is used and it’s not suitable at this time either. You should continue to study hard, Tong’er.”

【Love System: ……】

Facts proved that netizens guessed correctly.

Ning Xiaoyu did not catch any fish.

However, Ning Yuwei and Mu Jiajia didn’t have the chance to watch a good show, because, she caught a movie king……

Twenty minutes later, Lu Jingdu, who had just finished a game of chess, likewise took a fishing rod, as well as bait and a stool, and unhurriedly joined the fishing party.

Both of their lines were in the water and they were just waiting to catch fish.

Mu Jiajia looked incredulous. “Why is the movie king fishing too?”

Ning Yuwei bit her lower lip hard. Mu Jiajia was asking her but how could she know? If she only knew, she would have fished too, okay?

As soon as Lu Jingdu joined, more people followed Ning Xiaoyu, and even the retired elderlies nearby came over.

“I didn’t realize that young people are into fishing these days.”

“There are not many young people whose patient enough to fish.”

“Little Girl, don’t you think fishing is boring?”

Hearing that she was addressed, Ning Xiaoyu shook her head. “It’s not boring.”

One elderly smiled. “How old are you, Little Girl?”

These retired elderlies didn’t follow the entertainment industry so none of them naturally know Ning Xiaoyu.

Ning Xiaoyu replied, “I’m 23.”

The old man kept smiling. “23 ah, so are you seeing anyone?”

Ning Xiaoyu knows that some old people like to gossip about others relationship as they got older. If one wasn’t seeing anyone, they might even introduce someone. They didn’t have any bad intentions, they’re just bored and were finding themselves something to do.

However, the person introduced would probably be a little troubled.

She was just about to reply that she didn’t, when the love system, which had been quietly eating melons on the side, suddenly uttered, 【Girl, after this old man asked your age, there’s a high probability that he will introduce someone to you! It will either be his nephew or son, but you and those people have no destiny. At this time, you can——

A: Take out the movie king’s name

B: Make it clear that you already have someone you like in your heart, so is destined to disappoint the old man.

C: Hold the movie king’s hand and show your attitude with action!】

Seeing these three options, Ning Xiaoyu’s expression look the same as the subway grandpa looking at his phone[3]squinting hard.

What were all these?

【Love System: Fighting, Girl, nip the old man’s idea in the bud!】

As soon as the words of the love system fell, the old man really said, “I have an unruly son at home. He just returned from studying in M Country last year and is currently working as a researcher in a scientific research institute. You see, how about you leave a contact information so you can talk first?”

The guests present, except for Ning Xiaoyu herself, were all stunned.

Ning Xiaoyu was already clear about it when the love system set the task.

At this time, Shen Yueyue, who had just come to look for Ning Xiaoyu, heard this and couldn’t help gossiping, “Old man, have you…… taken a liking to Xiao Yu?”

The old man touched his chin. “This little girl has good temper and is patient. She’s very good.”

Having said that, the old man looked expectantly at Ning Xiaoyu, waiting for her answer.

Ning Xiaoyu’s gaze flicked over the three options, unable to pick a good answer, so she just abandoned them. She simply refused, “I’m sorry, I just want to focus on my career(slack off) right now.”

Hearing this answer, although the old man was a little regretful, he could understand.

“It’s great to pursue a career.”

After saying that, the old man left with his hands behind his back and did not dwell on it.

The love system faintly said, 【Girl, you gave up choosing just now and will receive punishment soon.】 Wuuwuuwuu, the host simply rejected the old man and didn’t get involved with the movie king. It didn’t get sugar and was now bitter inside.

In the next second, Ning Xiaoyu was imprisoned in a confinement room.

The good thing was that only her consciousness has entered the small dark room, so other guests wouldn’t see a live person disappearing in real time.

However, after being put in the confinement room, Ning Xiaoyu felt that something wasn’t quite right.

Let’s not talk about the environment she was in, but how could her eyesight be so low?

Could it be that she became a child?

But according to the love system’s personality of wanting to eat sugar, how could she possibly play a role of a child?

Ning Xiaoyu couldn’t figure it out at first, but after she got the script, she soon understood why.

Because what she got this time turned out to be a fantasy script. The female lead of this story was a cat. Due to good luck, she was picked up by the villain and was fed various rare treasures every day, which enabled her to successfully transform. If it wasn’t for the villain, a lazy and untalented kitten like the female lead would probably have no hope of transforming in this life.

It turns out…… the sweet script that the love system mentioned before was this.

Although Ning Xiaoyu had no idea what part of the plot was sweet, but since the love system says it’s sweet, so be it.

She was currently acting in the first episode, which also meant that the female lead was unable take on a human form yet and could only stay as a cat.

Only when the ‘female lead’ was successfully picked up by the villain would the first episode be considered over.

Ning Xiaoyu couldn’t help thinking that wasn’t this easy? Lu Jingdu should have gotten the script as well and could pick her up directly. Wouldn’t the two of them be able to leave this space then?

But she soon learned that things weren’t that simple.

It turned out that Lu Jingdu didn’t have a script this time. She couldn’t speak human words and so she could only “meow meow meow”.

The two were destined to be unable to communicate.

Forget it. Tired. She’ll just lie down. She didn’t want to work hard anymore.

The forest was so big and the cat has only four short legs, how could it be possible to find the villain and then successfully touch porcelain[4]scam to blackmail pedestrians by pretending to be injured?

That being the case, Ning Xiaoyu simply lay down peacefully.

When she was in human form, she acted lazy every day, occasionally basking in the sun and eating melon seeds. After turning into a cat, she just spread out all her limbs.

So this was how it feels like to be a cat.

It didn’t seem bad?

Ning Xiaoyu, who thought so, peacefully turned her paws to the sky, revealing her fluffy belly.

The cat’s little paws were pink and soft.

She closed her eyes comfortably, her long and fluffy tail flicking. She couldn’t be happier with her small appearance.

The love system, which was secretly observing from the side and wanted to eat sugar as soon as possible, fell silent once again after seeing this scene.

Why did it choose this script?!

It was because this script has high degree of freedom and one roughly defined framework. In its vision, the female lead would meow in all kinds of ways to show off her cuteness in order to eat and drink, and the furry-loving villain would take the opportunity to rua[5]stroking, fondling or rubbing the cat.

One was acting cute while the other strokes the cat; one wants to touch porcelain while the other was interested in picking it up. The two were a perfect match.

It couldn’t wait to see the picture of the villain rua’ing the cat!

However, its idea fell apart from the very beginning!

Because! Ning Xiaoyu never plays according to the rules! She just spread out her limbs on the ground!

Touching porcelain?

Acting cute?

Meowing non-stop?

It’s nonexistent.

The cat remained motionless and only the little tail kept swaying, showing its host’s good mood.

Instead of rushing to leave, she’s enjoying the moment.

Her tail swung and swayed, and then she was probably sleepy, so the frequency of her tail’s movements became less.

Ning Xiaoyu didn’t notice how much time had passed, that even when she had already slept, she still planned to nap for the second time.

But at this moment, someone wrapped her whole cat body in a coat with gentle movements and picked her up.

The cat opened her eyes in dissatisfaction, and in the next second, she locked eyes with Lu Jingdu, who was looking down at her.

Through his coat, Lu Jingdu scratched the cat’s chin casually.

In the next second, it was indicated that the plot was completed. The cat was successfully picked up by the villain so the two left the confinement space one after another.

【Love System: Girl, although your actions were disorderly at the beginning, fortunately it ended up being very sweet! The movie king scratched the kitten’s chin. Although it’s done through the coat, rounding it up, it’s almost same as without one.】

Ning Xiaoyu: “Can rounding be use like this?”

【Love System: Of course.】

However, the movie king didn’t get the script, so why would he choose to pick up the cat?

Could it be because he saw the shadow of salted fish Ning Xiaoyu in the cat?

The love system had no idea that it accidentally got the truth.

When Ning Xiaoyu blinked again, only two minutes had passed in reality. While she was waiting for the fish to take the bait, no one talked to her.

Ning Xiaoyu started to feel lazy again. She couldn’t help it, when she was locked up in the confinement space and became a cat, it was really too comfortable to just spread out her whole body.

Turning back into a human all of a sudden, she had some difficulty adjusting.

———


After an afternoon in the park, the guests returned to Friends Lodge.

The other guests played games all afternoon, while Ning Xiaoyu fished all afternoon.

Although she caught nothing, the time spent fishing was enjoyable.

The guests had dinner together.

Having just finished eating, before Ning Xiaoyu had time to put down her chopsticks, Mu Jiajia, who had finished before her, was already lying on the sofa while rubbing her stomach.

Mu Jiajia: “I’m done. I’ll lie down and rest for a while.”

【Hahahaha, has Mu Jiajia been led astray?】

【Is it misled or imitation?】

【She’s obviously been led astray? Someone is so lazy every day, it’s normal to be affected, okay?】

【Mu Jiajia is clearly envious of Xiao Yu’s popularity so she’s deliberately imitating her, okay?】

While the audience was arguing because of Mu Jiajia’s behavior, the love system said with a look of righteous indignation, 【Girl, this person is actually competing with you on who is saltier!】

Ning Xiaoyu: “……”

Was competing on who’s saltier a good thing?

Ning Xiaoyu was too lazy to meddle in other people’s affairs. As long as it didn’t affect her personally, whatever Mu Jiajia wanted to do was none of her business.

Mu Jiajia’s behavior had little impact on Ning Xiaoyu, but Friends Lodge had a lot of salted fish items overnight.

There’s a throw pillow and even a headband.

And since the program team had not assigned any task, Mu Jiajia rested on the sofa with the salted fish pillow in her arms.

It has to be said that her move really attracted many fans.

【The salted fish pillow looks good! I’m going to buy it!】

【Ahhhhh, a salted fish headband, I want one too!】

【Laughing to death. Even her bracelet is salted fish. Jiajia shouldn’t have salted fish accessories all over her body, right?】

When Mu Jiajia was interacting with the audience, seeing these messages on the bullet screen, she smiled and said, “No, I don’t.”

【Why did Jiajia suddenly have so many salted fish-related items?】

【Is Jiajia into salted fish?】

Mu Jiajia nodded, smiling brightly. “Yes, I like it very much. I think this fish with dead fish eyes is very funny. Don’t you guys like it?” Mu Jiajia’s audience was very supportive.

【We like it too!】

Mu Jiajia didn’t avoid Ning Xiaoyu when she was interacting with the audience and even let Ning Xiaoyu hear it on purpose.

Who says that only Ning Xiaoyu could make fire? Wasn’t it just acting like a salted fish? She can do it too!

The love system found it unbearable after hearing this green tea comment.

【Love System: She doesn’t even like it! She’s lying!】

Ning Xiaoyu, who had eaten to her heart’s content, prepared to go back in her room.

She’s too lazy to care about others.

But just when she was about to head back, the voice of the childish system screaming like an angry chicken sounded in her ears again, 【Girl, Mu Jiajia wants to compete with you! You must be saltier than her! Let the imitator feel ashamed and give up automatically. You can——

A: Tell her to wash up and sleep[6]stop babbling nonsense, just go to sleep, inadvertently exuding the demeanor of a big shot.

B: Tell her that you’re only being yourself and will not be easily surpassed by imitators!

C: Act pitiful to your fans in the live stream. Get them to charge for you and ripped Mu Jiajia to shreds!】

Ning Xiaoyu who saw these childish options: “……”

As expected of this love system.

Coincidentally, Mu Jiajia, who was lying on the sofa, greeted Ning Xiaoyu and said, “Xiaoyu, would you like to lie down too? I bought several salted fish pillows. If you like I can give one to you. Do you want one?”

【Love System: She’s clearly imitating you but she’s being arrogant as if she’s the original! Girl, isn’t she just following your lead in many of her actions!】

Ning Xiaoyu shrugged. She was really too lazy to care about Mu Jiajia, but Mu Jiajia had already provoked her, and she wasn’t a soft persimmon[7]pushover either.

She walked up to Mu Jiajia and said in a cold tone, “Wash up and sleep.”

Love System: “!!!” Sure enough, its host could stand upright!

Ning Xiaoyu went to the bathroom on the first floor and filled half of the footbath bucket with half hot and half cold water. Then, she carried the heavy bucket to living room and set it down with a bang. Finally, in front of Mu Jiajia, she began to comfortably put her feet in!

Mu Jiajia who’s almost touching Ning Xiaoyu’s feet: ……

The childish love system: Well done, Girl!

The audience watching the live stream: Sure enough, Ning Xiaoyu is the only salted fish king!
