Chapter 112 Where is my ‘no’?
January 30th.
Clean up the house.
Commonly known as ‘beating the dust’. In previous years, Su Ming and her sister had a busy day.
Now one more person still takes a day.
"If you dare to say that I am redundant, I will drop my little pearl."
"I didn't say."
February 1st.
Take a nap.
Then I went to my aunt's house and helped her look at the water pipes.
The phone said the booster pump was broken. There is no running water in the countryside, and without a pressurized device, the water flow will be very small, making bathing a problem.
"Screwdriver."
"...Aunt...isn't it right, aunt?"
"Screwdriver."
"...or is it better to be an aunt?"
Is it really necessary to be so nervous?
February 1st.
Night.
At almost eleven o'clock, my aunt's family came back.
"I asked you to help remove the supercharger, but why did you also remove the dust?"
Image of aunt.
Well, it’s just that when you are in your 50s, you want to keep up with the trend, but the aesthetic style is still stuck in the 90s.
After all, bright red windbreakers and leather skirts are not something a pretty woman can handle.
"Cousin."
Apart from her uncle, the only person who came back with her was her cousin. Not very old, just entered junior high school.
At the end of the year, it was only now that he could take some time off. There are various cram schools on weekends.
“I haven’t seen you for more than half a year, and you look beautiful again.”
"Auntie is the one, getting younger and younger."
"..."
Where is An Shiyao going?
bathroom.
Hearing the sound of a car outside, he panicked and slipped into the bathroom.
But she may have overlooked one thing. It would definitely be much better to just stand next to her and say hello together. When he came out of the bathroom... everyone saw him.
"Did you finish talking about the girl I introduced to you last time who was a soldier?"
"Not quite suitable."
"Whatever doesn't fit, it won't fit every time. Anyway, you can also accumulate experience."
"Remember that person who studied with you when I was a kid? He got married this year. He is much less talented than you. I think you should be quite good at talking after being out in society for so many years, right?"
"Bala, bala..."
A must-have topic during every Chinese New Year.
"We were criticized for not getting married when we were 16 years old. You young people are not worried at all."
"If you delay any longer... Do you want to be like the old bachelor who sells feed and can't start a family even in his 40s?"
"Listen to me and decide whether to buy an apartment in your hometown or a small apartment where you work next year. If you don't have enough money, my aunt can help you with some extra money."
"..."
"I talked about it."
"What's there?"
"Girlfriend."
"Where?"
The aunt looked around and rolled her eyes, "Okay, I don't want to hear it and I don't want to talk. But there is a blind date meeting after the Chinese New Year. The conditions are too good for you to grasp, so you have to take a look at our hometown, right?"
"If you dare to dye my hair green again this year and go on a blind date, see if I can deal with you."
"..."
Isn't An Shiyao coming out yet?
My cousin looks at me with sympathy, don't sympathize... the pressure will be on you in a few years. My sister is blinking, she is an insider.
"Is anyone in the bathroom? The light is on."
Auntie got up and knocked on the bathroom door.
"Why can't it be opened?"
"The girlfriend I mentioned is inside."
"I hope your girlfriend is in there, and I'm too lazy to worry about it. Go...ask your uncle to come over and do it."
"I'll do it."
"Do you know how to lock the door? The lock on this door just doesn't work."
"An Shiyao, aren't you coming out yet?"
"?"
No movement.
"Are you fooling me, Lao Zhang? Well, the lock on the bathroom door downstairs is broken. Come and have a look."
Auntie rolled her eyes at Su Ming, probably planning to go to the bathroom upstairs.
"..."
At this time, the door opened.
"Aunt, aunt..."
An Shiyao hid in there. Not going to the toilet at all.
She hid in her head and never thought about what she would do if Su Ming and the others had said hello in advance and she would become the center of attention when she came out again.
Toes clenched.
Especially when she saw the surprised look of Su Ming's cousin and aunt, she blushed extremely.
He's going to die!
Isn't there a hole in the ground to drill? Why hide in the bathroom!
"Aunt, my brother really didn't lie. He brought Sister An back this year."
Fortunately, her sister came to An Shiyao and gave her some relief.
……
The next thing is simple.
"How old are you this year?"
"...24."
"How many people are there in the family?"
"..."
"You have a sister? When did you meet Xiao Ming? Come on, come on, have something to eat. This is a souvenir I brought from Hui Province."
An Shiyao was naturally dragged for interrogation by her enthusiastic aunt. My sister is considered a juror.
"You brought your girlfriend back without saying a word?"
"I didn't expect it to be so soon."
"..."
My uncle was very tired from driving, so he took advantage of his aunt's absence without chatting to have a drink. Go back and sleep first.
The cousin stared at Su Ming curiously.
"Cousin."
"Huh?"
"You wouldn't rent a girlfriend to avoid the blind date arranged by my mother, right?"
"Do you think it looks like it?"
"It doesn't look like it. If it was rented, it would be too good."
After a few words of conversation, the boy picked up his cell phone and made a secret phone call. The voice sounds like a girl.
Times have changed.
Puppy love can easily turn into a wife for others in terms of benefits, but this does not prevent people who enter society from envying the innocence and immaturity of "puppy love".
"Cousin, my girlfriend is also very beautiful."
"..."
Don’t you take a look at the online picture?
February 2nd.
noon.
I was called to my aunt's house for dinner again.
"Hey, Xiao An, you don't have to worry about it."
"You young people can just chat."
"..."
An Shiyao was following her method to increase her favorability. I mean, help clean up, wash dishes and so on.
In comparison.
My cousin’s immature ‘puppy love’ may be problematic. Internet pictures and photos, a lot of money will be given away.
"It's just a small amount of money. I don't believe that my cousin won't give Sister An a gift."
"And I spend money generously, but she is not as generous as me when she meets others. Isn't it a trap?"
I don’t quite understand children’s views on love.
So, tell your aunt later about your cousin showing signs of being a dog licker and being deceived.
Night.
Su Ming was stopped by her aunt again. Ask alone.
"Tell the truth, is Xiao An your real girlfriend?"
"Really."
"Why don't I believe it? It's too much."
"I wouldn't spend money renting it to cheat."
"But she has such good conditions and is beautiful, so she can't be a liar, right?"
"No."
"No, I have to take a closer look."
"..."
My aunt always had her doubts.
"Mr. Su Ming's shoelaces came apart~"
"It's okay. I'll hold you with me when I fall."
"No! Can't you just tie it up again? Really..."
"..."
Then, go to Su Ming and the others.
I saw with my own eyes that An Shiyao squatted down to tie Su Ming's shoelaces, and when she got up again, she looked like a common little girl in love.
"...I'm not a liar."
"Is this really wrong?"
For the first time, she was a little unsure whether her vision of people was accurate. If it's true, how much virtue did this kid accumulate in his previous life?
February 5th.
"Mr. Su Ming, why do you have to go to so many places? I really want to stop and figure out who is calling you what."
"Then you can sleep at home today."
"I won't go when I come here for the first time... Wuwuwu, I can't even tell what to call. There are too many people."
February 9th.
Lunar New Year's eve.
One of the benefits of being in the countryside. Fireworks can be set off.
"Do I really not need to give New Year's money tomorrow?"
"No, you don't need to pay if you don't have a family."
"..."
"Fireworks, so beautiful."
"..."
"What's the first thing in the new year... Idiot."
February 10th.
"Can I really accept it?"
"You have accepted it."
"Yes, my aunt forced it on me!"
"Isn't that right? She will give it to you only if she approves you."
"Hey, recognizing me... does that mean I'm doing a pretty good job?"
Not much money. Zeros and whole numbers add up to 999 yuan. It is equivalent to a meeting gift.
February 11th.
Go to the cemetery to burn New Year's incense.
An Shiyao worshiped there quite devoutly, but she was made red-faced when she was said to be in love with each other.
"Xiao Ming, Xiao An is a very nice person. The conditions are good everywhere. You should be nice to them."
"This is much better than the ones I found for you. I also have real feelings for you."
"Grasp this blessing."
"...I know."
After being together for so many days, one should be able to tell whether it is true or false with the vicious eyes of the older generation.
February 12th.
Finally got a day off.
Probably because of An Shiyao, this year her aunt no longer forced Su Ming to go there for dinner every day.
Night.
In Su Ming's room.
An Shiyao brought the mobile phone, and there was someone Su Ming was familiar with on it.
"..."
Eyes facing each other.
Compared with the impression that she was still very young six years ago, An Xiaoxi has grown up a lot. He had short hair that only reached his ears. "...brother-in-law?"
Chatted for a long time.
Su Ming almost realized that she didn't believe it was him before. It was probably the way An Shiyao worked so hard to find so many details that made her worry that something would go wrong with An Shiyao, so she thought she might as well just believe it.
"The world is so big that there are many wonders."
"But why doesn't the brother-in-law dare to go to his sister to confirm? It's just a matter of words."
"Yes, it is indeed just a matter of words."
But now I have to say whether I regret it or not.
Don’t you want summer nights? If I go back to that time with my current memories, I will continue to click ‘yes’. Of course, it was too early to tell An Xiaoxi that there was another Sister An. Just talk about 'this life' as explained by An Shiyao.
"Is there no problem? I remember... they even took away my brother-in-law's body in the end."
"No. I can do anything."
"..."
Once the chat box is opened, there is no end to it.
An Xiaoxi wanted to book a flight ticket immediately. But after Su Ming said she would go to Kyoto after the New Year, she gave up.
"Actually, when I thought about it later, I felt that my brother-in-law was really a bad person."
"Why?"
"Don't you think Xiao Xi doesn't understand now? You and your sister always avoid Xiao Xi."
"..."
"It must have been coercion at first. It is impossible for my sister to be so accepting of her brother-in-law whom she just met not long ago."
"It was later that my sister developed feelings for her brother-in-law."
"..."
Wait a minute.
Why do you tell yourself without any scruples what An Shiyao might have done secretly in her room? Can't you see that An Shiyao is already on the side with her toes on the ground, face flushed?
"Sleepwalking, sleepwalking ghost! Xiao Xi didn't understand it before, but now she understands everything."
"However, only my brother-in-law can turn my sister from always finding it difficult to get along with her to being very humane."
"I like my current sister better."
"Oh, by the way. My sister's room..."
"Hang up! Go to sleep! Hang up!"
"..."
The phone was forcibly hung up.
"What exactly is in your room?"
"Nothing!"
Is there no three hundred taels of silver here?
Her cheeks were so red.
February 13th.
"Brother, I'm enlightened."
He expressed to his sister that he wanted to give something to An Shiyao and was praised.
"No, I can still give you some small gifts on Valentine's Day."
"For 100 yuan, I will give you the best answer."
"..."
Scanned.
"Choose according to your own wishes, which is the best."
"Money back."
"Brother, Happy New Year. Mmm."
February 14th.
Su Ming thought for a long time.
Give up thinking.
"Eh? I don't want a gift~"
"I said no, but I was grinning from ear to ear."
"I just don't want it!"
Just a moment ago, he was still shy and refused politely, but now he suddenly turned into a strong refusal with a puffed face.
Of course, people still go out with Su Ming.
"How can anyone give a gift like this? The recipient has to choose the gift himself! Humph!"
"..."
"Does it look good?"
Put on new earrings.
“Good-looking.”
"What about this?"
"Okay."
"What about this?"
“Very good.”
"I don't want it anymore!!! Mr. Su Ming has no sincerity at all!"
"I mean, every one of them looks good on you, I'm not telling a lie."
"...But, I can't have it all...although...I'll just, reluctantly forgive you."
"..."
He also received a gift from An Shiyao.
A watch. The price is unknown, but it must be much more expensive than the earrings given to her.
Night.
"Mr. Su Ming..."
"Huh?"
"Touch your ears...the earrings."
"Why?"
"I just... think it will be very comfortable."
"You are so perverted."
I thought she would retort as always. But at this time, she didn't refute at all, instead she was coquettish.
"I have agreed to all your perverted requests... This is the only one you have."
"Woo."
It's exactly what she said, just suck the earlobe gently. Especially when wearing earrings, she reacted very strongly.
afterwards.
She looked a little shaken for the first time in a long time.
"Actually... I didn't stop taking medicine in the days after I confessed to Mr. Su Ming."
"Antidepressants?"
"Yeah."
"..."
"Mr. Su Ming...will I, one day be tired of seeing you...don't like it or something."
"No."
"What if, one day...even if I am a pervert, I can't satisfy you..."
"If I were just lusting after your body, would you be so contented to cling to me? I feel that all the love I contain is unspoken, all in the whisper."
"Saying strange things again."
"..."
"But... I could feel it, so... I didn't take medicine after that. I didn't have any nightmares either."
"..."
"Aren't you even going to call Xia Ye? Actually...I won't say anything."
"I've had a fight, but you don't know it. I also talked to her about how to get you to accept having a party together."
"What is a party?"
"..."
"I don't want it! It's too bad..."
"..."
"But... it will happen one day. I... I will try to accept it. But it must not be the same as before, suddenly letting me see... Start getting used to simpler things first. For example, go shopping together. ... I still don’t know her very well.”
She could muster up the courage to say this. Su Ming felt that he was done.
She must be in a good mood.
It didn't take long before I fell asleep.
Su Ming stayed awake, waiting for the countdown in the translucent text box.
【Game data under construction】
[Remaining time until next opening: 00:32:13]
As long as you recite the dream game silently, you can see the countdown.
Watch the numbers jump and change.
[Remaining time until next opening: 00:15:03]
……
[Remaining time until next opening: 00:00:21]
……
[The ‘cursed’ world has been generated, do you want to enter the trial immediately? 】
[Difficulty of this world: extremely low]
What is the curse?
The Thing almost understood in the end, if his attitude towards Xia Ye hadn't always been the soul of Thurs. I guess there will be a lot of twists and turns, she is the so-called ‘Thing’.
【Yes/No】
However, there is no need to understand.
'no'.
After choosing, Su Ming felt inexplicably tired. Next, you really have to rely on your own efforts to take a new ‘peak of life’ path.
[500: An unexpected error occurred in the server and the request cannot be completed. Please refresh and try again]
"Huh?"
The translucent text box is back to the ‘yes/no’ option.
Select No again.
[500: An unexpected error occurred in the server and the request cannot be completed. Please refresh and try again]
Stay for a few seconds, then go back to whether that.
……
I chose it a dozen times in a row.
It's finally different.
The so-called difference is that no matter what Su Ming chooses, it will be useless.
It doesn’t work to choose ‘yes’ even if the jar is broken.
Stuck?
You wouldn’t have gone in when you woke up, right?
Su Ming just kept watching.
"Um...Mr. Su Ming, are you awake already?"
"..."
Nothing had changed until dawn.
"Bah~"
An Shiyao kissed her heavily on the cheek, and she seemed to want to go back to sleep.
[Server attempts to restart]
[Try to upgrade the version]
【……1%】
Su Ming couldn't understand.
Could it be that the system crashed?
The progress bar still stopped at 1% after more than ten minutes. If you don't take care of it, it won't automatically 'stop the screen' like before, and it will always be in your sight.
Restarting or upgrading, no matter how the progress is completed, you have to choose whether to enter again or not?
"Hmm, what are you looking at? So serious..."
"Looking at Nai Zi."
"...Astringent. Then...look at it this way!"
Will be suffocated to death.
But after just a few nudges, she let go.
"I don't want to do that so early in the morning...I want to wash up."
No matter what she wanted to do, Su Ming was really sleepy.
It should be able to restart, right?
Don't be stuck in your sight all the time, it's uncomfortable. Um? It doesn't seem like it won't disappear, it just takes longer than before. Say something silently, it will still be 1% when you come out again.
Wait until it returns to normal. Or is it okay to just pretend it doesn’t exist?
February 14th.
Night.
"Did you not sleep last night? I couldn't even wake you up."
"My sister must have thought it was me...it's all your fault!"
"..."
Unlike An Shiyao complaining and worrying there.
After Su Ming woke up, he was stunned when he saw the translucent text box that reappeared.
[Restart and upgrade completed]
[The ‘cursed’ world has been generated, do you want to conduct a trial immediately? 】
【Yes】
[The first-level selection will take longer to select, and the default selection will be made after 71:59.58]
Um?
Where is my ‘no’? !
