No need to think about it, Ning Xiaoyu directly chose C. She never thought she would one day see the love system set such a simple option.

Ning Xiaoyu naturally has a massage hammer, though if she gave it to Lu Jingdu, she wouldn’t have one for herself.

However, it’s not a big problem.

Shen Yueyue sent her a message asking her if she would go for a massage. Ning Xiaoyu replied that she had something to do at the moment and would talk about it later.

After doing so, Ning Xiaoyu took the massage hammer and went to find Lu Jingdu. When she arrived at Lu Jingdu’s door, it was tightly closed. After knocking three times, the door opened from the inside.

Ning Xiaoyu didn’t wait for Lu Jingdu to speak and directly gave him the massage hammer in her hand. “You’re tired from driving the tricycle so you can massage yourself with this.”

The love system screamed, 【What if the movie king hammered himself and still went to get a massage later?!】

Ning Xiaoyu quickly added, “As for getting a massage from someone, there’s no need. This massage hammer is very useful. You can tap it wherever you’re sore, even when you’re doing something.”

This massage hammer was very soft and was Ning Xiaoyu’s favorite. It had been with her for many years and had always worked well.

Ning Xiaoyu was really reluctant to give it to Lu Jingdu. She showed him a demonstration with her empty hand. “You can use it to hammer your back like this, your legs like this, and your waist like this.”

Lu Jingdu held the massage hammer in his hand. Although he didn’t understand why Ning Xiaoyu gave him this, but seeing Ning Xiaoyu’s expression of reluctance and eyes glued to the hammer, he still accepted the gift.

Before he could speak, Ning Xiaoyu hurriedly said goodbye and left. She was in a hurry to get a massage.

———

When Ning Xiaoyu arrived at the lounge, there were only two guests there. One was Shen Yueyue and the other was Xi Rui. None of the other guests came.

Maybe some of them have already gone to bed and were too lazy to go back and forth.

Coincidentally, there were also three massage therapists in total, one for each of them, which was just right. Any more than that and they would have to wait.

Ning Xiaoyu lay on the bed directly and waited for the masseuse to massage her shoulders and legs.

The three massage therapists were old aunts in their 40’s to 50’s, with callused hands, and all seemed to be very skilled.

Ning Xiaoyu was looking forward to it. It just so happened that after a busy day, she was really a bit tired, so a massage was in order to loosen up her muscles and bones.

She closed her eyes and was ready to enjoy the massage comfortably, when a deep and pleasant voice suddenly sounded behind her, “So you gave me a massage hammer because you’re afraid that I will steal your masseuse?”

Ning Xiaoyu froze and instinctively opened her eyes just in time to see the movie king leaned against the wall with his hands in his pockets.

Hearing this, Shen Yueyue covered her mouth and asked softly, “When you said you have something to do earlier, it’s to give a massage hammer to the movie king?”

Two questions came up at once and Ning Xiaoyu really didn’t know which one to answer first.

She simply covered her ears with both hands, pretending that she couldn’t hear so don’t ask this salted fish any questions.

Shen Yueyue: Sister is a bit too cute!

Ning Xiaoyu just wanted to enjoy the massage quickly, but the love system wouldn’t let her go easily.

【Girl, you left too fast just now, acting perfunctorily towards the movie king. The original intention of giving him a massage hammer is clearly to make the movie king more virtuous and not let the masseuse give him a massage. However, he now misunderstood, thinking that you’re afraid he would rob you of the masseuse.

At this time, you can——

A: Go a step further and specifically express your possessiveness towards him.

B: Make amends to him! Note that it should be an affectionate one!

C: Stick with the movie king! Comfort his injured heart.】

Seeing these three options, Ning Xiaoyu had a bellyful of things to say, she didn’t know where to start.

Ning Xiaoyu: “I have something that I really want to say right now.”

The love system asked happily, 【What is it?】 Does she want to praise it?

Ning Xiaoyu: “Wash up and sleep.”

Love System: “……”

What the hell was option A? If the movie king wanted a masseuse to give him a massage, she would gladly let him have her masseuse after Ning Xiaoyu’s done. After all, in life, enjoyment was also a very important point.

As for B, what’s an affectionate compensation?

And the last option, leaving aside the possibility that the movie king’s heart wasn’t injured, let’s focus on the word ‘stick’, does she have to stick her face to the movie king like Xiangxiang did to President Huo?

No, no. That’s too greasy.

The massage therapist was momentarily unsure whether to start.

At this moment, Ning Xiaoyu took out something from her pocket with a heartbroken look on her face.

“After giving you this, I really can’t take out anything else.”

Her pocket was about to be emptied.

After hearing these words, the others turned their gazes on Ning Xiaoyu’s hands.

When Shen Yueyue saw what Ning Xiaoyu was holding, she chuckled. “What’s that? It looks like a hand.”

Ning Xiaoyu looked at the backscratcher in her hand and said with a profound expression, “This is something that can make you happy.”

At least Ning Xiaoyu was very happy every time she uses it.

Fortunately, she had a habit of disinfecting it after each use. After giving it to the movie king, he could use it directly with no problem.

Ning Xiaoyu once again gave Lu Jingdu a demonstration as she explained. After all, the movie king seems to be out of touch and likely didn’t know how this thing commonly used by old people works.

She said, “Stick it in your clothes and scratch here and there. It’s fun.”

That’s right, Ning Xiaoyu chose B.

【Love System: Is this the affectionate compensation? Can this be considered as one?】

Ning Xiaoyu asked back, “Otherwise? That backscratcher is my favorite! I love it more than the massage hammer! But now, I’ve given it to Lu Jingdu. Isn’t this an affectionate compensation?”

Upon hearing this explanation, the love system fell silent.

Seems like it makes sense?

Against Xi Rui and Shen Yueyue’s gossipy eyes, Ning Xiaoyu reluctantly gave Lu Jingdu the backscratcher that had been with her for many years.

One must know that after getting used to the same thing, one might not achieve the same effect even if one buys another one of the same model.

“You can try it, it works really well.”

After completing the love task, Ning Xiaoyu could finally enjoy her long-awaited massage. As she guessed, the masseuse’s technique was really good, neither light nor heavy, and the strength was well controlled.

She was on the verge of falling asleep from the massage.

When it was over, Ning Xiaoyu’s whole body felt a few degrees lighter.

She slowly sat up from the bed, only to realize that the movie king hadn’t left.

He was still holding the backscratcher.

To be honest, the backscratcher that only costs a few yuan seems to have become a bit more high-end in his hands.

As the two walked back together, Ning Xiaoyu didn’t forget to remind, “Try it, you won’t lose!”

Lu Jingdu looked at the backscratcher’s smooth and rounded palm. It was obvious that the owner had often used it.

“Okay.”

———

The next day, Ning Xiaoyu woke up refreshed.

After she went downstairs, several other guests also came one after another.

While eating breakfast, the director gave the day’s activity.

“Today, the dads will continue their holiday and the guests will replace them in earning money for their babies. It’s fine whether you sing songs on the street or use your face, as long as you can earn money to buy milk powder for your baby.

The group of guests who earn the most money will receive the status of the annual spokesperson of a well-known domestic cosmetics brand. The specific brand will be kept secret first and we will give you a surprise when the time comes.”

【Damn, the program team is very generous!】

【Will it be a brand under the Huo Group?】

【Definitely not. Huo Xiangxiang is in the movie king’s group. If so, it will be unfair to the other guests.】

【There’s no way the program team will do that.】

【Then I’m relieved.】

Ning Yuwei and Ling Zige discussed what they would do.

Ling Zige thought for a while and said, “How about we sell things?” Usually, the fathers would set up stalls to sell some vegetables and fruits.

However, vegetables and the like were not expensive, so it could be regarded as small profit but quick turnover, and the earning wouldn’t be much.

Ning Yuwei pursed her lips. “Is there anything else apart from performing on the street?”

Street performing was too degrading and it was impossible for Ning Yuwei to choose it.

Ling Zige also knew about the program 《Hello Dad》 before. He recalled it and said, “Yes. There’s also wearing mascot costume to attract customers to take pictures.”

However, wearing one was hard since the clothes and headgear were heavy.

At the end of the day, they might not get many photos but they still would be exhausted. Moreover, it would cover their faces so they couldn’t rely on their celebrity status.

After weighing their options, Ning Yuwei and Ling Zige chose to use their faces to sell things.

As for the other groups, Mu Jiajia’s chose street performing, and so did Xi Rui’s and Shen Yueyue’s.

Shi Chao’s group chose to sell things.

And Ning Xiaoyu’s group chose to dress up in mascot costume.

———

Before parting, Shen Yueyue asked Ning Xiaoyu, “Why didn’t you choose to show your face and sell things?”

With the movie king by her side, does she need to worry about not being able to sell anything?

It was precisely because of the movie king that Ning Xiaoyu didn’t choose to use their faces.

The program team prepared a lot of stock and even if it was sold all afternoon, it would not run out.

It’s troublesome just thinking about it.

At that time, Lu Jingdu’s fans would swarm, then wouldn’t they have to sell things non-stop all day?

In Ning Xiaoyu’s opinion, of course it’s easier to pretend to be a mascot.

———

Once the three groups of guests arrived in the city center, they quickly split up.

Ning Xiaoyu and Lu Jingdu also changed into their costumes.

Ning Xiaoyu changed into a salted fish one, while Lu Jingdu changed into a bear costume.

As soon as the two reached the center of the square, Ning Xiaoyu lay down directly on the steps.

Who wanted to stand when they could lie down?

Besides, with the padded costume underneath, she wouldn’t get dirty even if she lay down.

The love system was afraid that Ning Xiaoyu would fail so it immediately issued a daily love task.

【Girl, today is the first time you and the movie king have worked together to make money. You’re wearing couple-style mascot costumes. This is a beautiful memory worth remembering. In order for you to have more beautiful memories together in the future, today, you and the movie king must take photos with at least ten groups of people to earn milk powder money for Xiangxiang!】

Ten groups? It seems a bit much.

If she didn’t do anything and just wait for passersby to come forward, it was unknown how long she would have to wait.

After receiving the love task, Ning Xiaoyu immediately sat up. She had to earn money for milk powder quickly so that she could call it a day and rest.

In general, she likes to get things done as quickly as possible.

Because after completing the task, the rest of the remaining time could be spend freely.

Thinking of this, Ning Xiaoyu got into action and waved her arms enchantingly to attract customers over for a photo.

There was a sign next to the two of them.

‘10 yuan charge for one photo with the two mascots and 15 yuan for two. Welcome.’

The salted fish headgear was adorned with two dull fish eyes which look lifeless and lazy. However, the person inside the costume was swinging her arms flexibly to attract customers to take photos.

Occasionally, she’ll swish her tail a bit and give a salted fish lunge.

Compared with the ease of the salted fish, the bear next to her was a bit rigid.

It seems a bit uptight.

The two formed a stark contrast and this attracted the attention of many passersby.

The salted fish sitting on the ground showed off a variety of moves.

Salted fish lunge.

Salted fish flipping its tail.

Salted fish poured with salt.

Salted fish lies flat.

Salted fish scratching an itch.

【Laughing to death. The one wearing the salted fish suit is undoubtedly Xiao Yu.】

【What’s the most amazing thing is that Xiao Yu has done so many movements while sitting still or lying down! She just didn’t stand!】

【Salted Fish Ning Xiaoyu: Not standing still is my last stubbornness.】

【Hahaha, I reckon the movie king on the side is so dumbfounded that he didn’t know how to cooperate.】

【Movie King: Just be a backdrop.】

【The movie king’s money-making tool is really solid.】

In no time, Ning Xiaoyu was surrounded by a large group of passersby asking for a photo.

“Is it 15 yuan for two photos? Then I want to take a photo with ‘salted fish poured with salt’ and ‘salted fish lying flat’.”

“Can we take three pictures together? I like quite a few movements.”

“I’m different, I want everything!”

“Is the bear next to you here to buy soy sauce^[1]be a bystander? Why isn’t the bear making any moves?”

“It doesn’t matter. It’s enough to take a photo with the salted fish. One is lively and the other is dull, it’s also amusing.”

Ning Xiaoyu who saw so many passersby all at once: “……”

Ning Xiaoyu was genuinely shocked!

Why did so many people suddenly want a photo?

The line was about to reach the door of a certain coffee shop.

The love system who had been watching the whole process contemplated seriously for a while before replying, 【Probably because your salted fish act is extraordinarily fascinating.】

Ning Xiaoyu: “……”
