Chapter 159: Kick Over This Bloody Love Triangle (5)
Chapter 159: Kick Over This Bloody Love Triangle (5)
So she chose to make trouble.
The next moment, the ringtone that the man used to express his love for his wife and to establish his wife-loving persona rang out in a supermarket with not much traffic.
The original owner's indulgent voice, as if in 3D, resonated loudly around the man.
"Your Princess Xiaojin is calling. Xiao Yanzi, please answer the phone immediately."
This sudden movement not only attracted the attention of customers who were shopping, but also made Ye Ruobing, who was self-torturingly scrolling through her circle of friends with her head down, look up.
Qin Yan, who was frantically taking out his phone and wanting to hang up, met Ye Ruobing's gaze, whose eyes were red.
The air seemed to be stagnant.
Qin Yan stared at Ye Ruobing blankly, his lips moving as if he wanted to say something, but the ringing of the cell phone in his hand was like a death warrant, ringing over and over again tirelessly.
That which belonged to his wife could bring him benefits in establishing his image in the past.
But at this moment, it was like the devil's whisper, crushing the only bit of self-esteem he had in front of his true love.
Not far away, the screen of Bu Shian's mobile phone was on, with the dialing interface on it.
The word "idiot" in the note was particularly eye-catching, as if mocking Qin Yan, who was standing in front of Ye Ruobing in a daze with the ringing cell phone in his hand.
Bu Shian looked at them and rolled his eyes in public in an ungraceful manner.
"Tong, what kind of idiot is this Qin Yan?"
"If he wants to maintain his doting wife persona, he immediately turns around to answer the phone and says a few gentle, perfunctory words, then turns around and looks at the heroine in surprise as if nothing happened, reminiscing about the past."
"He wanted to show the heroine his unhappy marriage, so he just hung up the phone, then pinched his brows and sighed, and finally found the heroine opening up her story."
"As a result, this idiot is now holding a phone that keeps ringing, and the phone keeps sending out sounds that sound like flirting, and then he does nothing but stare blankly at the female lead who is looking at him out of curiosity."
"It's all a melodramatic romance where the male protagonist becomes the hero after divorce and does a lot of dirty things for the female protagonist. Why are you just sitting here, at a loss, looking innocent and naive?"
"This male protagonist is not capable of being a hero. He should give up his position as soon as possible. I am better than you even if I take over."
Listening to the host cursing, the system suddenly had an idea and opened its own group chat interface.
He had been in the group before in order to understand the host's past, and accidentally saw several seniors in the group complaining.
When their current host was given the unmanned small world he saw when accepting the mission, he immediately nodded and fawned to his host.
[The host is right, this is not the male protagonist, the host is definitely better than him.
So, dear host, are you interested in being the male lead? I can let you experience it in the next world.
Bu Shi'an, who was complaining about Qin Yan, raised his eyebrows when he heard the system's tone.
"What have you seen? Confess and you will be treated leniently. Resist and you will be treated severely."
[Hmm, nothing much, just in one of our system communication groups.
I saw that there's a quest in the male group next door that no one has taken up, so I wanted to ask if the host is interested. 】
"Huh? You mean the male group, not a specific male subgroup?"
[Yes, yes, when this mission first appeared, it was assigned to the male redemption group.
After the Redemption Group failed many times, it was directly opened to the entire male group. Many taskers from other groups tried, but all failed.
Since the impact of that mission is only for the protagonist, even if no one does the mission, it will not delay the operation of the world, so the top leaders do not care and do not think about conquering it.
Over time, apart from new employees who were unconvinced by the high points and went to clear the game, no one else paid any attention to that quest world.
"Will a newbie be so naive as to go and try to attack? Then go tell Mo Jingxu's system and let him do it."
[Emmm, I asked about this when I saw that world. The other party's system said that his host was a full-time villain, and he was afraid that his own host would be unable to resist and would kill him in the matter of redemption.]
"So, why do you think I would be willing to take on the redemption mission? Don't I look like a villain?"
[Hmm? Why does the host look like a villain? The host just doesn't like to suffer losses.]
Isn’t this the host? You said the male protagonist is not good enough, but you are better than him. It just so happens that you are one of the male protagonists in that world, so…]
"Wait a minute, male protagonist, one of them?"
[Yes, because it was a post, there definitely couldn't be only one male protagonist.
The reason why he was assigned to the Redemption Group was because his mission was to prevent the heroine from committing suicide. 】
Bu Shian called back the number which had been automatically hung up because no one answered for a long time, and then pointed at the system.
"999, because you turned the world upside down."
[Hic, that world has delicious food, the kind that other worlds don’t have.]
"Then again, if I complete the task that the entire male channel team can't handle, it seems like I'll look really awesome."
【……999. 】
Bu Shian wanted to ask again about delicious food, oh no, about the world of male redemption posts.
The call in her hand, which was buzzing with a busy tone, was connected.
Qin Yan on the other end of the phone seemed to come back to his senses, and answered the phone with gentle comfort.
"Sorry, Xiaojin, something happened just now. Are you calling to remind me to bring you a special cake from Xinyuan Supermarket after get off work?"
"I'm already at the supermarket. I'll bring it back to you in a bit."
Bu Shi'an listened to the voice coming from the other end of the phone, and the tone seemed much more sincere than in the morning.
When I looked up, I saw Qin Yan with a smile on his face standing next to the heroine.
I immediately understood that he was acting so sincerely because of his sweetheart.
Thinking of the plan he had previously agreed upon with Xie Wancheng and Fang Xingyu, and looking at this excellent opportunity to catalyze their relationship, Bu Shian decisively chose to respond sensibly.
"Okay, honey. Be safe on the road. I'll wait for you at home."
As soon as she finished speaking, her hand pressed the hang-up button.
He pushed the cake in the shopping cart to check out, leaving the remaining space and time for Ye Ruobing and Qin Yan.
It was three months until the college reunion where things took a turn.
During this period, since the key characters in the plot all belong to wealthy families, there will be several banquets where they will appear on the same screen.
She had originally discussed with Xie Wancheng and his wife to accelerate the plot turning point at the charity dinner a week later.
But looking at the current situation, maybe an old man’s birthday party in three days will bring that node forward.
As Bu Shian hung up the phone and left, the atmosphere between Ye Ruobing and Qin Yan began to develop in a direction beyond the plot.
With this post on the Moments that shouldn't have appeared, coupled with Bu Shi'an's timely phone calls, the time when the two were supposed to officially meet at the university reunion was forced to be brought forward to now.
Ye Ruobing was delighted to see that his old friend not only personally bought his wife's favorite food, but also tolerated using the other's nonsensical voice as his cell phone ringtone.
But a third party suddenly appeared in the marriage that he thought was happy and perfect.
In contrast, her thoughts were changing rapidly.
