“B-Big Sis?”

Lu Xiaoyao was instantly bewildered by the strange, sarcastic question. She nervously touched her face, while also covering her constantly darting little eyes with her hand.

When she lowered her hands, she wore an innocent expression as she looked at Julian, asking in a voice even sweeter and more affected than a girl’s, “Brother Zhu, am I really that old?”

Julian: Damn it!!!

“It’s okay.” Before Julian could speak, Lu Xiaoyao, putting on another affected act, tugged at the hem of her clothes and slowly said, “Anyway, you said I’m more tender than your girl~”

With that, Lu Xiaoyao winked at him, then took a cotton candy from a nearby waiter.

Before either of them could react, Lu Xiaoyao stepped forward, lightly patted Julian’s collar, and then whispered in his ear in a voice only he could hear, “Sigh, tell me, how bad can a person be to find a girlfriend to mess with you when they can’t stand the game…”

After speaking, Lu Xiaoyao abruptly pushed him away, turned around, and walked away, licking her cotton candy. As she walked, she rolled her cute little eyes and muttered, “Dear viewers, let me tell you, I didn’t take a fancy to that man~ I was purely making fun of that guy who speaks ill of our empire behind our backs.

“Also, little sisters with boyfriends can’t be like that young lady. If the man is no good, we’ll just change him! Got it?”

[Pfft, hahaha, I don’t believe you! Lu Xiaoyao, a single dog, talks about love codes every day as if she knows everything!]

[So, is this the reason you’ve been single all these years?]

[Hahahaha, u1s1, that young lady is jealous enough to rival the big boss hahaha!]

[Damn it! Why do others have girlfriend NPCs in games? I don’t have one!]

[Maybe you’re ugly.]

[…]

“Pfft~”

Through the live stream, Mingmei couldn’t help but laugh when she saw Lu Xiaoyao being secretly roasted by Julian’s NPC girlfriend.

This caused Mu Chen, who was sitting across from her, to stare blankly.

Mingmei rarely laughed. Her face always seemed to contort into a strange and grotesque expression whenever she tried to smile. This kind of natural smile, revealing a slight upturn of her lips as she couldn’t help but laugh, truly lived up to her name.

Mingmei.

“What’s wrong?”

Coming back to her senses, Mingmei saw Mu Chen staring at her blankly. She couldn’t help but touch her face and ask nervously, “I-Is there something on my face?”

“No…” Mu Chen felt that he seemed to have lost himself a bit, so he shook his head.

They had agreed to go to the Sand Sea Maze early, but now they took a detour because of Lu Xiaoyao’s “face-changing” antics.

Lu Xiaoyao went to run errands, while the two of them rode the Ferris wheel.

For some reason, looking at the other person’s serious gaze, Mingmei couldn’t help but feel her heart beat faster.

Mingmei was a little flustered now.

[Host! Why is your heart beating so fast?]

Suddenly, Gui Gui’s divine intervention was like a bucket of ice water extinguishing the small flame burning in Mingmei’s heart.

[What’s wrong with beating faster? Exceeding the limit, understand?]

Gui Gui: [Then why is it slow again now?]

Mingmei: …

Isn’t it all because of you?

Mingmei really wanted to give her own system a big eye roll. It ruined everything with just one sentence!

Just now, Mingmei still thought Mu Chen’s handsome eyebrows and eyes were very attractive, but now—oh, they’re still pretty good =.=

“Sitting here and looking down, how does it feel…?” Mu Chen looked at Mingmei with a glint in his eyes. He had noticed the change in Mingmei’s gaze just now.

He lowered his eyes secretly, only to comfort himself that he had to take it one step at a time. He wasn’t in a hurry.

“It feels pretty good, but it’s a little slow…” Mingmei felt the speed of the Ferris wheel, which took about half an hour to complete one revolution. It was really a bit long.

“It’s okay. It’s no use going to the Sand Sea Maze too early.”

Listen to those words! Who was it who said they wanted to go early to make arrangements? Now he’s slapping himself in the face, isn’t he?

Mingmei didn’t know what to say for a moment.

“By the way.”

“What?”

“My… bracelet.”

Mingmei remembered that she didn’t have a bracelet. She didn’t know if her uncle had forgotten her when he set it up or if he did it on purpose. She didn’t have a bracelet.

Without a bracelet, she couldn’t enter the Sand Sea Maze.

She wouldn’t be able to get out either.

“Yeah, I remember. It’s almost done. But you don’t need to worry. After it’s done, I’ll find someone to give you the bracelet.”

After Mu Chen finished speaking, Mingmei nodded slightly and didn’t take it to heart. She was thinking that she could just rush in when the time came. It was just the entrance to an amusement park attraction. As long as she ran fast enough, she would definitely…

When Mingmei and the others reunited with Lu Xiaoyao, the three of them stood at the Sand Sea Maze with cotton candy in their hands. Mingmei saw that some tourists were already impatiently rushing towards the entrance like crazy. In an instant, several laser beams shot out from the entrance and instantly turned the tourist into a sieve.

As long as she ran fast enough, she would definitely die without pain (╥w╥`)

When she saw the unidentified object that had fallen to the ground and turned into a scorched brown net, Mingmei instantly turned her face away.

Help!

Too scary!

Immediately, the tourists who had gathered in front of the Sand Sea Maze scattered like startled birds. Rushing in early would really kill people!

“Damn, what’s going on with the killing weapons at the entrance?” Lu Xiaoyao was dumbfounded. “Is this legal?”

“Are you talking about the law in an escape game?” Mu Chen glanced at Lu Xiaoyao. Hearing the big boss’s realistic complaint, Lu Xiaoyao scratched her little head and finally blurted out after a long time, “Isn’t it needed? Then, then what about logic?”

“Is it needed?” Even Mingmei stood up. Then she silently looked at the disappearing transaction countdown in the background and muttered in a low voice, “Do you want a box lunch or logic?”

Lu Xiaoyao: “Then I’ll take the box lunch!”

Just as Lu Xiaoyao shouted that she wanted a box lunch, the Sand Sea Maze finally opened.

Mingmei watched as the people who had scattered earlier now walked towards the entrance of the Sand Sea Maze. Soon, a long line formed. When it was their turn, they swiped their bracelets, afraid of missing something.

Many plainclothes policemen also mixed into the crowd and entered. Along with them, those players also began to enter under Mingmei’s gaze.

Julian accompanied his girlfriend, and the Zhen brothers carried their babies as they walked towards the maze. Surrounded her were Lu Xiaoyao and Mu Chen, as well as Wang Wenfei, who had just arrived.

Mingmei: …

She didn’t know why, but she only felt that the scene before her was a bit strange.

[Hiss… I smell the scent of gunpowder.]

[Look at the positioning. The big boss is standing behind the merchant little sister, looking at her daughter and another little sister who came over with the eyes of a first wife, tsk tsk! This scene, whoo~]

[Mom, our daughter is still smiling silly and carefree. Look at the other little sister who is completely scared off by the aura of the first wife.]

[Pfft hahahaha, the big boss as the first wife! Have you asked the person involved about this?]
