Chapter 107 Circumstances

Since not everyone could handle the pink bubbles between Mu Chen and Mingmei, in the end, after Mu Chen finished cooking, only Mingmei and Lu Xiaoyao remained in the kitchen.

Lu Xiaoyao: That's right, I'm the one who can handle it, always standing on the front lines of shipping CPs!

"Should we call everyone over to eat, or take it to the other room?"

Mingmei looked at the large bowl of mixed wild vegetables and several plates of wild vegetable pancakes that Mu Chen had made. She looked at the sky outside, which was gradually darkening. The rain had lessened a bit.

"Let's go back and eat. There's no reason to occupy the kitchen. The two temple priests should still need to cook, right?"

Mu Chen's words made it clear that he hadn't made enough for them to eat.

[Is it just me, or does the big boss seem to dislike those two temple priests?]

[No, to be honest, I don't like them either.]

[That temple priest named "Huang Er" is really lecherous. I really don't want to judge people by appearances, but I really can't see any inner beauty in his behavior!]

[And that Wang Laosan, even if Zai's friend said it, this man shouldn't be bad, but I still feel like something's not right?]

…

The three of them, no, because Lu Xiaoyao had been watching the whole time without washing vegetables or cooking, she held a basin of wild vegetables in one hand and an umbrella in the other. Looking at the back of Mingmei holding an umbrella for the big boss in front, she was silently moved to tears because she was shipping them!

She would definitely not admit that she was jealous!

She also wanted someone to hold an umbrella for her!

If that didn't work, she could hold one for someone else!

In the end, a group of them ate in Mu Chen and Julian's room. They didn't close the door while eating. Mu Chen and Julian sat facing the door, and during the entire meal, they didn't see anyone walk past their door.

In other words, the two temple priests didn't go to the kitchen to cook. As for whether they ate or not, that was another matter.

After eating, Wang Wenfei, seeing that it was getting darker, took a torch and went to the kitchen with Merui Ta to clean the dishes. On the way, she repeatedly looked back at the residences of the temple priests.

"What are you looking at?"

Merui Ta asked in confusion.

"Nothing, I just think that after the rain in the summer, the days get dark faster than before."

Wang Wenfei said casually. Merui Ta could understand, and said, "Yeah, it's too early to sleep so early."

After going to the kitchen and washing the dishes, Merui Ta suddenly suggested to Wang Wenfei, "Do you want to go to the main hall and take another look? During the day, I thought that mural... was a bit strange."

"Ah? But it's dark..."

Putting this behavior in a game, Wang Wenfei felt that it could be directly understood as courting death.

"It's just getting dark, and besides, don't you have your torch?"

Merui Ta's gaze fell on the torch in Wang Wenfei's hand, and then she sighed with a bit of melancholy, "If I had known your torch was so useful, I should have spent money on a boxed lunch back then."

Who told them they didn't know that night and day in this game were completely two different worlds?

Thinking about what happened last night still made her shudder.

"By the way, this Mountain God Temple... if that Mountain God is really as magical as they say, then isn't it possible that there won't be any strange things here?"

"Who knows?"

As Wang Wenfei spoke, a wisp of faint black mist that was not reached by the light of the torch still caught her eye.

In that instant, Wang Wenfei sneered slightly, "I think you shouldn't have any expectations for the Mountain God."

"Ah, you, who came from the village, and your father who is a temple priest, are both like this?" Merui Ta moved closer to Wang Wenfei, poked her with her hipbone, and whispered, "Are you hiding something from us?"

Wang Wenfei's eyes flickered instantly. After a moment of silence, she only said, "It's not really... I just suspect..."

"Suspect what?"

Wang Wenfei sighed and shook her head. She couldn't even explain the things she suspected...

Just as they were entangled, Mu Chen sent Mingmei back to her room and then left the room with a torch. And Mingmei, at this moment, was sitting in her room watching the "entanglement" drama being played out by a man and a woman at the door.

"Just take me with you!"

"Let go of me!"

"No! I'll let go if you take me!"

Lu Xiaoyao tightly hugged one of Julian's arms and refused to let go. Julian's face turned red from his neck to the roots of his ears.

Lu Xiaoyao, how could she be so bold as to hug his arm?

He was a normal man, okay?!

Mingmei watched Lu Xiaoyao staring at Julian's eyes without blinking, while Julian's eyes were darting around, wishing he could turn his head 180° to avoid the embarrassing situation in front of him.

Hehehe, Lu-Zhu CP is possible~ Invest and you won't lose!

"I told you what I'm doing is dangerous!"

Julian lowered his voice and explained to Lu Xiaoyao that this matter was not something she could participate in just because she wanted to.

He stood at the door, his eyes occasionally looking at the room of the temple priests. Seeing that the lights were still on in their room, he dared not speak loudly.

"I know it's dangerous." Lu Xiaoyao also had a serious face, "More people means more help, right? If something happens, I can help you!"

[Let me tell you a joke: If something happens, Zai Zai will help (dog head)]

[Not really, Lu Xiaoyao is unreliable most of the time, but there have been a few times when she was very skilled, right?]

[Yes, yes, yes! My Zai's skills are surprisingly good! I was shocked during "Assassin Emperor," and then there was the time at the hotel, although the live broadcast was interrupted later...]

[Ah~~ that's true!]

…

Mingmei looked at the bullet comments recounting the games that Da Yao had appeared in. Speaking of which, Mingmei seemed to have not seen Da Yao for a long time.

Lu Xiaoyao had taken a vacation and returned because of psychological problems, so now—

Mingmei raised her eyes to meet Lu Xiaoyao at the door, who wished she could transform into an octopus and follow Julian in action. She boldly guessed whether Lu Xiaoyao's personalities had merged?

However, if they had really merged, Lu Xiaoyao wouldn't still be so carefree, right?

At least she would have some of Da Yao's advantages, right?

But thinking about Lu Xiaoyao's recent changes, you couldn't say that she hadn't changed at all.

At least her acting skills were pretty good during the "Bashe Train" incident. If it hadn't been for Mu Chen, she and Julian might have really won if they had cooperated.

"It's okay if you don't let me follow you, but I have a condition."

After annoying Julian to the point of exploding, Lu Xiaoyao timed it perfectly to make a condition.

Seeing this, Mingmei raised her eyebrows. Not bad, Lu Xiaoyao.

"Lend me your torch."

"Dream on."

Lu Xiaoyao: "..."

Mingmei: ...

She overestimated her.

Finally, at the entrance of the Mountain God Temple, Mu Chen, wearing a bamboo hat and holding a torch, saw Lu Xiaoyao hugging a torch and Julian holding an umbrella walking towards him.

Mu Chen: "..."

"B-Big Boss, you're here too?"

Seeing Mu Chen, Lu Xiaoyao couldn't help but gasp. She turned to look at Julian, her face full of shock that read, "Why didn't you tell me the big boss was here?!"

"What's wrong? You don't want to see me?"

Lu Xiaoyao's expression was too easy to guess. On the contrary, Mu Chen's expression was now unreadable, and his tone was slightly cold.

Just then, the rain falling from the umbrella splashed on her face, startling her!

"No, no, no, I-I just think that having Big Boss on such a dangerous mission is too reassuring QAQ!!"

Lu Xiaoyao knew that Mu Chen generally didn't take action unless something big was happening.

It was so late, going out in the dark, and Mu Chen was involved - thinking of this, Lu Xiaoyao tightly hugged the torch in her arms, turned to look at Julian, and said, "If something happens, what will you do?"

"Run."

Julian said seriously, and then he reached out and took the torch from Lu Xiaoyao's arms without hesitation, and shoved the umbrella handle into her arms.

Lu Xiaoyao: ???

What's wrong with this man?

"You hold the umbrella."

Lu Xiaoyao: !!!

"Pfft!"

Mingmei, who was watching this through the live broadcast, laughed unkindly.
