Chapter 185

When Mingmei regained consciousness, she was already in the shop, but her memory was clearly stuck at having dinner with Mu Chen. She turned her head to look outside the door, and it was bright daylight.

It was obviously the next day.

"Guigui?"

[What is it?]

Mingmei could tell that Guigui seemed to be in a bad mood.

"How did I get back last night?"

As soon as Mingmei said this, it was Guigui's turn to laugh, a very cold laugh, and said, [How do you think you got back?]

Although Mingmei didn't remember, she subconsciously felt guilty and silently replied, "Maybe you helped me get back, Guigui?"

[Ho~ What merits or abilities do I have! Sending a drunkard throwing a tantrum back?]

Mingmei: !!!??

"Drunk, drunkard? Throwing a tantrum?! Was that me?"

Mingmei was almost scared to death by Guigui's words. She threw a tantrum while drunk?

Unbelievable!

Was Guigui really talking about her?

[If not you, who else could it be? Or was it Mu Chen?]

As soon as Mu Chen was mentioned, Mingmei's face changed, and she immediately thought of something: "No way? Did he send me back last night?"

[Mm~]

Speaking of this, Guigui now had a much better opinion of Mu Chen's performance.

It had always thought that Mu Chen was a pervert who wanted to get close to the host and stick with her all the time, but last night, he was very well-behaved and didn't take advantage of the host while she was drunk.

In fact, if Guigui thought about it carefully, Mu Chen had always been very well-behaved.

These words also made Mingmei blush, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to log off immediately!

Mingmei covered her face in pain and asked self-deceptively, "I didn't do anything last night, did I?"

Guigui: […]

Could it use silence as an answer?

Didn't its host have any idea? Yesterday, she was touching and hugging, and now she's waking up and denying everything?

Mingmei scratched her head awkwardly and glanced at the shop entrance again. Good, that person didn't come this morning, so it was obvious that she might have been a little, probably, indeed, excessive yesterday!

Today, he didn't even come to find her for breakfast, orz.

"Help me open Lu Xiaoyao's livestream. I want to see what the players are doing."

Since the embarrassment couldn't be resolved, Mingmei decided to change the subject.

…

"Why do you say fate treats me this way?"

From last night, after hearing them say that things never happen more than three times, even eating box lunches might follow the same rule.

For Lu Xiaoyao, who had bought six box lunches, she really felt that she had been deeply played by fate!

As a result, Lu Xiaoyao was too sad and didn't have the energy to stay up late last night, and because she woke up very early this morning, she didn't get the points for sleeping again _(：3」∠)_

Therefore, early in the morning, Lu Xiaoyao, unable to sleep, sat in the breakfast shop and sighed sadly.

[It's not fate playing with you; it's that you didn't listen to advice!]

[Yaozi, listen to Dad's advice, listen to the merchant miss's words more often. You can't handle this game!]

[Listen to Mom, Mom agrees with your dad.]

[?? You're taking advantage of me. That's too much!]

"I'm telling you now, anything related to numbers, I only dare to take less than three!"

Lu Xiaoyao silently ate two small steamed buns and glanced at the three remaining in the dish. Then, as if deceiving herself, she said, "How can two small steamed buns be enough to eat? I have to eat more. Besides, how can you count steamed buns individually? You have to count them by the basket! I ate a basket, so it should be fine, right?"

"It's fine. Eat more."

Suddenly, a voice came from behind Lu Xiaoyao. When Lu Xiaoyao turned around, she didn't expect Lou Jia to be eating breakfast here too.

She glanced at his breakfast, which included porridge, buns, eggs, and a variety of side dishes – a very hearty meal.

"Are you sure?" Lu Xiaoyao asked suspiciously.

"I also ate a basket yesterday morning, and it was fine."

Lou Jia found Lu Xiaoyao's frightened appearance amusing and added, "What's your stress level now?"

"80…"

Lu Xiaoyao replied vaguely while eating a small steamed bun. Lou Jia seemed to have heard something unbelievable and said, "Still that high?"

"I lowered it by ten or twenty points yesterday. That's a big deal, okay?!" Hearing this, Lu Xiaoyao became anxious, glared at Lou Jia, and said, "What about you? What's your level? Why are you so surprised?"

"61."

"That fast?!" Lu Xiaoyao was dumbfounded. "How did you do it?"

"Well… it's not that difficult, right? Stable routine, ensuring every meal is delicious, having fun, and it goes down, right?"

Lou Jia made it sound simple, but he could see that Lu Xiaoyao's ugly face showed one fact – Lu Xiaoyao couldn't do it.

"I think I should remind you of something," Lou Jia coughed lightly.

"What?"

"We only have three days of vacation in total."

"Huh?"

"Today is the second day. Isn't our game task to lower our stress level below 30 in three days? At this rate, you're a bit slow."

Lu Xiaoyao: "…"

Suddenly, the pressure came.

"Also."

Lu Xiaoyao: "Also?"

"You wasted so many credits buying those box lunches. If you don't complete the task, won't you lose out in this game?"

A bolt out of the blue!

That's right!

She gave away three credits at the beginning. If she didn't complete the task, she would lose out!

Lou Jia watched as Lu Xiaoyao was almost brought to tears by his words and felt that something was strange.

He had been tricked by Lu Xiaoyao, and he also vaguely remembered that he seemed to have cooperated with Lu Xiaoyao before. Although he might not remember the details in the game now, Lu Xiaoyao's personality made him feel that something was wrong.

His vague consciousness told him that Lu Xiaoyao's personality should be a bit assertive, with few expressions on her face, but after interacting with her in the game, Lu Xiaoyao was more like a naive little girl who had been spoiled by her family.

[Hey, hey, hey, I say, the way this guy is looking at our baby is a bit off~]

[Mm, he seems to be thinking about something.]

[Speaking of which, does our daughter have good luck with the opposite sex? I feel like in every game, there are boys who look at my baby with a special glint in their eyes.]

[Hehehe~ I didn't expect that I might even see my baby fall in love?]

[You guys wake up! We agreed that our baby is still young, no!]

[I think you guys are overthinking it, right? Although these boys look at our baby differently, it's definitely not love!]

[That's right! Compare it to the way the Big Boss looks at the merchant miss! A lingering, gentle gaze, a deep gaze – that's what you call a loving gaze!]

[That's right! You can't even tell the difference with such a big comparison group. What kind of eyes do you have!]

Seeing this scene, Mingmei couldn't help but imagine the way he looked at her, and then, Mingmei felt her cheeks heat up and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Was Mu Chen's gaze towards her like they said?

"What are you thinking about?"

"Thinking about you looking at me…"

Instinctively replying, Mingmei suddenly looked up, and the man she had just been thinking about was standing at the door, standing in the sunlight.

Hearing Mingmei's answer, the smile on Mu Chen's lips couldn't help but widen. Looking at Mingmei, Mingmei really felt that, as expected, the onlookers see more than the players in the game!
