Su Xi still had something to do this weekend. The cast on her leg was almost ready to be removed. Although she still had to be careful when she walked, she could walk slowly.

Her parents weren't home, so she had an appointment with Gu Qin and Huo Jingchuan. They would remove the cast first, then go shopping. She had to buy some books and couldn't play games for too long.

Thus, she planned to go offline after shopping at the Lantern Festival.

Before going offline, she touched Zaizai's little hand. She wiped some snow from the eaves and rubbed it on the tip of Zaizai's nose to tease him.

Lu Huan felt the icy coldness on the tip of his nose. He reached out to wipe it and smiled. "Don't mess around."

But then, he realized something. Although the corners of his mouth were still smiling, his eyes were suddenly tinged with a bit of panic.

His eyelashes trembled uneasily. He looked up at the empty space and asked in a low voice, "… Do you have something to do and have to leave?"

Su Xi touched his left hand.

He was startled, and the expression on his face was like that of a person who had just left the building after the excitement. There was a sense of loneliness, but he tried his best not to let his disappointment be seen. He still smiled and said, "Then, see you tomorrow. Pay attention to your actions and be careful."

Su Xi calculated the time. If she came back from shopping, it would be the next night in the game. She would be able to make it in time for the plot of the palace banquet.

In that case, she could accompany Zaizai for a while. Thus, she touched Zaizai's left hand again. She raised her hand to open the system and quit the game.

When you quit the game, you didn't directly cross out. Instead, the screen slowly faded back to the main interface.

Previously, Zaizai didn't know about Su Xi's existence. So, every time Su Xi went online, he didn't know.

But this time, when Su Xi quit the game, he was stunned.

On the screen that was gradually dimming, Zaizai's little figure was still standing in front of the window. Because he didn't know where she left, he didn't know where to look. He was still looking at the empty space.

He seemed to be unsure whether she had left or not. After she touched his left hand for the last time, he still stood there foolishly, motionless.

A dialog box popped up on the screen. He asked again, "Has she left?"

Not getting an answer, a white bubble slowly appeared above his head. "Then, what time will we meet tomorrow?"

There was still no reply.

He was left there, looking at the empty space.

The white bubble said, "He has already left."

He lowered his eyes.

Before the screen completely faded out, Zaizai was still waiting there.

He didn't wait for any response. After confirming that she had left, he slowly turned around and looked down at the bustling street through the window.

However, at this moment, he was standing with his hands behind his back. His back was facing Su Xi, so his expression could no longer be seen clearly.

Su Xi, "…"

Why? She had only logged out of the game. Why did the game make it seem like she was going to die?!

Zaizai's behavior made Su Xi have the urge to go online again!

However, Gu Qin called and urged her to hurry out. Her attention was immediately diverted. She was afraid that she would be late for her date, so she quickly jumped off the bed and changed her clothes.

On the other side, Lu Huan stayed in the ready-made clothing store for a while, looking at the tens of thousands of lights on the streets. Only then did he come downstairs with the clothes she had chosen for him, as well as the cloth bag of rouge.

Amidst the noisy lights, he walked through the crowd and returned to Prince Ning Fu alone.

He knew that the ghost had her own things to do and couldn't stay by his side forever … But perhaps because she couldn't be seen or touched, he didn't feel safe at all.

It was as if he was facing a mass of nothingness and could only passively wait. He didn't know when she would appear or when she would quietly leave.

If there was a day when something unexpected happened and it was the same as last time, eight days, or even longer, never to appear again, then what could he do …?

Lu Huan thought about this in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He returned to the Chai Courtyard from the side door as usual.

Previously, Old Madam had suggested that he move to a new courtyard in the west. There was a small bridge over flowing water, a rockery, and a clear spring. It wasn't inferior to Lu Yu-an and Lu Wenxiu's courtyard.

However, Lu Huan had rejected it.

Prince Ning Fu wasn't a place to stay for long. He had never thought of staying here for the rest of his life. In addition, there were too many memories of him and that person in the Chai Courtyard.

He raised his eyes and looked at the swaying lanterns under the eaves. His eyes were tinged with a layer of warmth.

Su Xi changed into a pink sweater. She held Gu Qin's arm and slowly walked on the pedestrian street.

Huo Jingchuan carried books for the two of them in boredom behind them. It was already noon, and the three of them planned to find a place to eat in the mall.

"Speaking of which, do you feel that your luck has improved recently?" Gu Qin looked at her leg that had been successfully removed from the cast and said, "Ever since you won the lottery."

Previously, Su Xi could be said to be extremely unlucky. She was the kind that would get stuck in her teeth if she drank cold water. When they walked on the street with her, Gu Qin and Huo Jingchuan, these two childhood friends, never dared to let her walk on the side of the road near the traffic. They were afraid that a car would suddenly hit a flower bed and sweep Su Xi.

However, ever since she was discharged from the hospital, this kind of unlucky thing almost never happened again.

"… It's indeed better."

Su Xi was the one who felt it the most. Especially during this large-scale exam, she actually did not have any accidents like the pen breaking midway. It was as if the heavens had opened their eyes and allowed her to smoothly finish the exam.

Gu Qin ridiculed, "You wear red underwear every year. It's completely useless. Why did your luck suddenly change?"

Of course, Su Xi could not say that it was because of a game. Even if she said that, her good friends would not believe her. They might even think that there was something wrong with her brain.

After all, they could not find this game on their phones.

The three of them found a Sichuan restaurant and sat down.

Gu Qin and Huo Jingchuan decided to take advantage of Su Xi and ordered a few more dishes.

The three of them chatted about school matters as they ate and waited for the rest of the dishes to be served.

A waiter came over with a plate of freshly cooked fish soup. He said to Su Xi, "Beautiful lady, please move the dishes inside so that I can put down the fish soup —"

However, at this moment, before the waiter could finish his words, the bottom of his foot suddenly slipped.

The extremely hot fish soup in his hand was about to smash onto Su Xi's shoulder. Gu Qin was stunned and screamed, "Be careful!"

Huo Jingchuan also stood up immediately.

Su Xi's pupils shrank and her heart jumped to her throat. She hurriedly dodged to the side.

The waiter was also scared to death. He tried to salvage the situation in a flurry.

However …

"Clang —" The fish soup pot fell to the ground. Although the soup splashed all over the ground, it did not splash onto Su Xi at all.

The hot air on the ground kept rising. This scene happened in a short moment. The other waiters did not have time to react.

After finally regaining their senses, Gu Qin quickly stood up and ran over to Su Xi. He asked, "Su Xi, are you scalded?"

Huo Jingchuan was a little angry. He looked up at the waiter and asked, "Sister, what are you doing?!"

Su Xi was in a panic but shook her head.

At that moment, the fish soup really looked like it was going to hit her, but it also seemed like there was an external force that swept it away.

Too many unlucky things happened to Su Xi. However, this was the first time that before the unlucky thing happened, it was turned around. Was it the luck brought by the koi fish that the System mentioned?

Was it canceled out by her bad luck?

Gu Qin sighed in relief and said, "You're too unlucky. Fortunately, nothing major happened."

The waiter who served the soup was so scared that he was about to cry. He apologized profusely, "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."

The manager came over to mediate and said, "Are the guests okay?"

Huo Jingchuan saw that Su Xi was fine and said with a dark face, "Fortunately, my friend is fine."

Su Xi saw that the waiter was not having an easy time. He waved his hand and said, "Give me another pot. Just be careful."

… Moreover, it might not be her fault that this happened, but her own unlucky physique.

She patted her chest and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. If this big basin of oil were to fall on her shoulder, although she was wearing thick clothes and would not be burned, if some oil splashed on her neck, it would cause a few blisters.

She was bound to the System. Encountering a game that was almost like a real world and winning the lottery was already a very miraculous thing. No matter what happened now, Su Xi was already calm.

After eating, she went home separately with Gu Qin and Huo Jingchuan.

It was not yet time for the Imperial Banquet in the game, but Su Xi couldn't help but look at what Zaizai was doing.

She flipped open the information book and opened the game while doing her homework.

She saw that Prince Ning Fu's servants were busy preparing for the Old Madame and Lady Ning's arrival at the Imperial Banquet. Women were the same in every dynasty. Before attending the Imperial Banquet, they had to bathe and change their clothes for a few hours.

As for Zaizai, although the Old Madame also sent people to help him change his clothes, he chased those servants out and did everything himself.

Su Xi saw Zaizai's serious face outside the screen and couldn't help but laugh.

The soft and gentle girls were so cute. Was Zaizai not grown up yet?

The way he looked at those servants was no different from looking at stones on the side of the road?!

… However, it was good to focus on her career now. When the plot progressed to the point where she regained her identity as the Nine Princes, she could have as many beauties as she wanted.

When the time came, she had to compare and choose more beauties. Other than the ones from the Yan Dynasty, she also had to choose some beauties from foreign lands!

Su Xi had seen Gu Qin play a game called "Imperial Concubine Selection Plan" before. She watched Gu Qin play from behind and was so anxious that she almost fainted. Her favorite beauty with gold foil pasted on her forehead was actually not included in Gu Qin's harem!

Who could tolerate this?!

Now, there would only be more beauties in this game than in that game. When the time came, she might be dazzled!

Su Xi was a little excited just thinking about it. Her blood was boiling and she couldn't wait for the plot to progress there.

However, for now, she had to obediently accompany Zaizai as he grew up.

First, she had to establish her career and then have a family. For the time being, she didn't have to think about him marrying a wife.

Seeing that Zaizai was busy, she didn't disturb him for the time being. Instead, she put the game aside while doing her homework and looking up at him from time to time.

The game time changed to Shen Shi.

Three palanquins came. Two with red satin tassels carried the Old Madame and Lady Ning. Behind them, a thick green palanquin came to Zaizai's courtyard and carried him into the palace.

Su Xi wanted to lift the curtain of Zaizai's palanquin to tell him that she was coming and enter the palace with him. However, at this moment, she suddenly remembered something.

She hadn't unlocked the map of the palace!

Currently, she had 32 points.

The unlocking rule of this game was that a new section could be unlocked every 2, 5, 7/8, and 10/10. The sections were divided according to their size. For a section as big as the palace, if she wanted to unlock it, she would need at least 6 more points, which meant that she had to accumulate 38 points.

However, in this short period of time, where would she go to complete a mission to obtain 6 points?

However, logically speaking, according to the game's settings, the unlocking of each section should be done according to the mission. Could it be that she had not completed a mission?

She couldn't help but ask the System, "Did I make a mistake?

Or is there a bug in the game? "

The System said, "The problem lies in the third main mission."

"The third main mission is' The protagonist befriends the Second Prince at the Autumn Swallow Mountain Hunting Competition and enters the Imperial College '.

The reward is a total of 12 points.

The protagonist only needs to talk to the Second Prince at the Autumn Swallow Mountain Hunting Competition to complete 1/2 of the mission and obtain 6 points. However, for some reason, the protagonist is very repulsed by the Second Prince after talking to the Fifth Prince at the Autumn Swallow Mountain Hunting Competition.

Therefore, this 1/2 of the main mission is considered a failure. "

The System prompted again, "Also, the protagonist's favorability towards the Second Prince -60."

Su Xi was speechless.

Su Xi was stunned. She didn't expect it to be like this.

Why? Why did Zaizai hate the Second Prince?

In her impression, the Second Prince was quite low-key. He didn't do anything annoying?!

Could it be that Zaizai was unhappy because she saved the Second Prince?

Then, didn't this mean that she accidentally affected the main mission because she went to do a side mission?

Su Xi asked, "What if I didn't save the Second Prince that day? What would have happened?"

The System said, "The Second Prince must be saved. There are no ifs.

Because the protagonist wants to enter the Imperial College, she can only become a prince's study companion.

After saving the Second Prince, there was a vacancy among the princes to accompany him in his studies.

The protagonist may not necessarily become his study companion. She may become another prince's study companion. "

Su Xi understood. Zaizai hated the Second Prince, so she didn't take the initiative to befriend him. The befriending mission failed.

However, the Second Prince didn't hate Zaizai. Instead, because of Zaizai's outstanding performance in the Autumn Swallow Mountain, the Second Prince and the other princes all had an impression of Zaizai. If she succeeded in becoming a study companion, the mission to enter the Imperial College should also be successful.

However, because of her mistake, she couldn't unlock the Imperial Palace section for the time being. She couldn't follow Zaizai into the Imperial Palace.

Su Xi felt a little regretful. She stopped her hand from lifting the curtain of the sedan. She didn't want Zaizai to know that she was here. However, she couldn't follow him into the Imperial Palace.

She stood on the long street and watched Zaizai's sedan enter the Imperial Palace.

The sky in the game was dark. The Imperial Palace was extremely majestic. The dark red walls and glazed eaves looked like a lion entrenched here in the dark night. It was magnificent and solemn.

Zaizai's sedan slowly disappeared into the Imperial Palace. It was as if she had finally stepped into the whirlpool of the Capital.

In this huge whirlpool, a concubine's son from a declining prince's household seemed insignificant.

At the same time, Lu Huan also lifted a corner of the curtain of the sedan and entered the Imperial Palace. The courtyard walls on both sides were tall and deep. He could only look up and see a narrow, dark night sky.

His expression was a little more dignified.

Su Xi didn't follow Zaizai into the Imperial Palace. She couldn't know what was happening in the Imperial Palace for the time being. However, she waited with the game open and continued to do her homework.

In the plot of tonight's banquet, there was a plot where the Zhenyuan General would make things difficult for Zaizai. She couldn't follow in, so she couldn't help him.

However, Su Xi felt that with Zaizai's intelligence and wisdom, he could handle it. She didn't need to worry too much.

She spent more than forty minutes here to write a paper. In the game, a full four hours had passed.

When night fell, the Imperial Palace doors finally opened. The sedan chairs that were participating in the banquet came out one after another.

Su Xi saw Zaizai's sedan chair at a glance. At this moment, the plot of the previous plot popped up on the screen.

【During the banquet, the Zhenyuan General looked at the Old Madame mockingly. He was very disdainful of the Old Madame's actions of trying to befriend the Second Prince and sending her grandson to the Second Prince's side. If Prince Ning Fu's sons had some potential, then he could look up to Prince Ning Fu. However, it just so happened that Prince Ning Fu, from Prince Ning to Lu Yu-an and Lu Wenxiu, those two brats, none of them had any potential. Right now, they were completely useless.】

【I heard that this time, the Autumn Swallow Mountain Hunt was won by a concubine's son of Prince Ning Fu. He didn't think much of it. He was used to the Old Madame's methods and thought that it was just the Old Madame making things difficult for him. She wanted to find a way to let her grandson win.

Because of this, his impression of the main character wasn't very good. During the banquet, the main character toasted him, but he repeatedly ignored him and embarrassed him.】

Su Xi clenched his pen. How could the Zhenyuan General be like this?!

In any case, Zaizai was his distant relative. How could he look at people with prejudice?

【However, what was surprising was that during the banquet, the Fifth Prince took the initiative to mention that it wasn't a good thing that the Second Prince didn't have a study companion. He wanted to take the initiative to send his study companion to the Second Prince.

Then, when the Emperor rewarded the main character with gold, silver, and jewelry, he took the opportunity to ask the Emperor to let the main character become his study companion.】

【The Second Prince argued with him for a while, but at this time, the Emperor suspected that the assassination attempt on the Second Prince on Autumn Swallow Mountain was a self-directed act. He was unhappy with the Second Prince, so he sided with the Fifth Prince and actually agreed to his unreasonable request.】

【The main character received two boxes of gold and silver as a reward for this banquet. From today onwards, he can become the Fifth Prince's study companion and enter the Imperial College to study.】

System: "Congratulations on completing Main Quest 3 (Beginner) (1/2): You failed to befriend the Second Prince on Autumn Swallow Mountain. You received 0 points and 0 gold coins. However, you succeeded in entering the Imperial College. You received 6 points and 100 gold coins."

Su Xi: …?

Su Xi was stunned by the silent struggle at the banquet.

She knew that the Fifth Prince valued Zaizai a little. On Autumn Swallow Mountain, the Fifth Prince's thoughts were already displayed.

This Fifth Prince had always been a show-off and wasn't afraid of offending people. No matter who it was, he wanted to snatch them into his hands. Last time, when he heard that the Minister of Revenue wanted to meet that godly doctor, he quickly went to meet him. His behavior was normal.

But this Second Prince, why did it seem like his situation became worse because of her side quest?

If she hadn't saved him, he would have been bedridden for at least three months. With such a terrible injury, the Emperor wouldn't have suspected him so easily.

However, he was suddenly injured and cured. He recovered in just ten days. He even claimed that he was sick and didn't attend court or go to the Northern border. This made the Emperor unhappy.

Su Xi: … I'm sorry, Second Prince.

But no matter what, this way, she successfully completed the quest of 'entering the Imperial College'.

… However, because she didn't stop the Second Prince from stabbing himself with an arrow when she completed the side quest, she saved him after he stabbed himself. This caused the main quest to deviate slightly. Zaizai didn't become the Second Prince's study companion, but the Fifth Prince's.

Su Xi didn't know what the consequences would be if the main quest deviated in this direction, but no matter what happened, she would protect Zaizai well.

Thinking of this, Su Xi became slightly more serious. She pulled a pear flower petal and greeted Zaizai.

She first switched the view to the inside of the sedan. From the perspective of the simple drawing, Zaizai's short legs didn't touch the ground. One of his short hands was rubbing between his eyebrows. His bun-like face was frowning. The moonlight shone in from outside the curtain that was occasionally blown by the wind and swept across his face. She couldn't tell what was wrong with him. Was he drinking during the banquet?

This was the first time Su Xi saw Zaizai drinking. She was a little curious about how he would look after drinking, so she couldn't help but pay for a minute.

The screen switched to the original drawing.

The young man leaned against the corner of the sedan. His eyes were slightly lowered, and his eyes were cold.

The moonlight flickered on his face. He raised his hand and pressed between his eyebrows. His eyebrows were furrowed, and there was a layer of red on his fair jade-like face. This red color also appeared cold.

After drinking, he was quieter than usual. His expression was expressionless, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Su Xi thought that Zaizai had a good alcohol tolerance. He should drink a lot at this kind of palace banquet, but he didn't look drunk.

Just as she was thinking, the fog on the screen changed with a 'pop'. The fog dispersed and turned into the expressionless little dumpling with short arms and legs.

Su Xi: … Forcing a smile.jpg.

It's good to get used to it.

She blew a gust of wind.

On the screen, Lu Huan had already been swept by countless gusts of wind today. Every time a gust of wind blew past him, his heart skipped a beat. Subconsciously, he wondered if she was here, but every gust of wind told him otherwise.

Until now, the white jade pear blossom fell between his eyebrows, across the bridge of his nose, and fell into his palm.

His eyebrows melted from coldness in an instant. His eyelashes lifted in joy, as if he had been waiting for a long time. He put down his wrist that was lazily propped up and sat up straight. "We haven't seen each other for a day and a night."

Su Xi smiled outside the screen. Zaizai's timing was too precise.

"What did you do today?" Lu Huan couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Last night, they parted at the street lights. Today, they only met at night. It had been a full 24 hours. Did she have something to do?

Who did she meet?

What did she do?

But he had no way of knowing.

Su Xi thought, How can I answer this?

He seemed to realize that the other party couldn't answer his question. Lu Huan smiled and said, "It's still a 'yes' question. Can you answer me?"

Su Xi found that Zaizai never smiled before. Since he found out that he could touch him, he seemed to smile more — of course, it was still not much.

Lu Huan asked in a low voice, "Did you go out to play today?

Were you happy? "

Su Xi hooked his little left hand.

He asked again, "Did you meet someone?"

Of course I did. Why would I go out if I didn't see anyone?

I didn't even wash my hair if I didn't see anyone.

Su Xi smiled and continued to hook his left hand on the screen.

Zaizai on the screen glanced at his own left hand. He seemed to be infected by her cheerful movements. The smile in his eyes deepened, but he tried to pretend as if nothing had happened. He asked casually, "Was the person you met a man or a woman?"

Su Xi hooked his left hand — but before he could react, he hooked his right hand.

The Gu Qin and Huo Jingchuan he met today were both men and women.

Zaizai on the screen paused and asked again, "They're your friends … Do you like them very much?"

His left hand was hooked.

Su Xi felt that this kind of question and answer was quite fun. He waited for Zaizai to continue asking. But who knew that Zaizai on the screen was thinking about something. Although he tried to keep a straight face, his round face still wrinkled.

A withered leaf appeared on the top of his head. It was raining on the leaf.

Su Xi, "…???"

Su Xi was about to continue communicating with Zaizai when he saw some plot dialogue suddenly pop up on the screen.

It turned out that the sedan chair was passing by the General's Mansion of the Zhenyuan General. Naturally, the next plot prompt related to the Zhenyuan General appeared.

The Zhenyuan General was talking to the Minister of War in the study of the General's Mansion in a low voice late at night.

The Minister of War lowered his voice and said, "At tonight's banquet, there were undercurrents. The Emperor seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with the Second Prince."

The Zhenyuan General frowned and said in a low voice, "The reason why I support the Second Prince is that I believe he knows how to avoid the sharp edge when the other princes are fighting for it. He is a low-key person who can endure and achieve great things!

But this time in the north, when it was time for him to stand up, he still kept a low profile and didn't fight. He even said that he was sick and avoided it!

If he cared about the people, he would know that the people in the north are suffering right now. He shouldn't be like this!

He's not even as good as the Fifth Prince who rashly strives for merit! "

The Minister of War said again, "At this time, The Emperor hasn't decided who will go to the north to quell the chaos. Once the decision is made, the military power will definitely be handed over to that person."

The Zhenyuan General sighed and said, "If I'm still young, I will definitely personally lead the army this time. Unfortunately, The Emperor already dislikes me for being old."

The Minister of War advised in a low voice, "General, don't you understand?

The reason The Emperor doesn't want you to lead the army this time isn't because he thinks you're old and useless, but because he wants to take this opportunity to take back the military power that has been in your hands for many years! "

The Zhenyuan General's eyebrows twitched slightly.

The Minister of War knew that the Zhenyuan General was loyal and devoted, but he still had to remind him, "High merits shake the Emperor. The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

If you hand over the military power, I'm afraid that the General's Estate will really lose its power and be at the mercy of others. But if the military power is still in your hands, the three generations of the General's Estate, including The Emperor, will still be unable to move. "

"Therefore, you must quickly find someone who can go to the north to quell the chaos for you!"

The Zhenyuan General said, "That's easier said than done.

I've been fighting for many years and have no children. My only daughter has died of illness. Now I'm all alone and don't have many people I can trust. Where can I find someone to take over my mantle? "

During the conversation, the Zhenyuan General's hair turned white and he sighed with regret.

At this moment, a message popped up from the System:

[Please accept Main Quest 8 (Intermediate): After completing Quest 7, you will become the successor of the Zhenyuan General and go to the north to quell the chaos and achieve military merits.]

[Quest difficulty: 15 stars. Reward: 2000 gold coins. Reward: 12 points.]

Su Xi's eyelids twitched when he saw this quest. The previous seven quests were all beginner. Had this quest already become an intermediate quest?

No wonder the previous quest was to change the Zhenyuan General's opinion of Zaizai and obtain the Zhenyuan General's support. It turned out that he had to prepare to take over the mantle of the Zhenyuan General.

If he wanted to gain a foothold in the imperial court, achieving military merits was indeed the fastest way.

But …

Su Xi looked at the exquisitely carved jade-like little dumpling on the screen. He really couldn't imagine him leading troops to war!

He couldn't imagine it, and his heart ached.

If he went to the battlefield, he would definitely get injured, right?

But if he was there, it should be fine.

And although this quest popped up at this time, there was still a long way to go before it could be completed.

Thinking of this, Su Xi calmed down a little.

The palanquin slowly entered the Prince Ning Fu.

Lu Huan lowered his eyes, and didn't ask any more questions.

Although he knew that ghosts might have to meet other ghosts, there were many other things in her world. It wasn't just him. This couldn't be more normal.

But he still — still felt a sense of anxiety and possessiveness in his heart.

It would be great if he could see her. It would be great if he could touch her.

If …

Lu Huan didn't dare to think about more things. He was afraid that his thoughts would be too greedy.

But could the ghosts and deities around her see her?

He wasn't the same kind as her, so he couldn't see or touch her … He was really jealous of those people around her …

Although knowing that she was by his side was already the luckiest thing that had happened to him in his life, perhaps the human heart was always greedy. After receiving the warmth and kindness from her, he actually wanted to know her voice and appearance, and put her in his eyes at all times.

That way, she wouldn't run away so easily and suddenly disappear one day.

Look, just like now. He clearly knew that she was by his side, but he didn't know the expression on her face. He also didn't know which side she was on.

He also didn't know if she was still there when she wasn't hooked on his finger.

He was like a blind person. She didn't exist in the world he saw.

Lu Huan thought like this, but didn't show it on his face.

He knew that he was too possessive and uneasy. It was wrong. If he showed it, he was afraid that he would scare her. Thus, he tried his best to suppress it, not letting those gloomy emotions show.

But after Su Xi closed the mission distribution interface, she saw that the desolate leaf was still hanging on Zaizai's head on the screen.

His bun face and eyelashes were drooping. He looked like a little cabbage that had turned yellow in the field.

Su Xi was immediately amused. She rubbed his head and pinched his face.

She hoped that he could understand that she liked her friends, but she also liked him very much. Otherwise, she wouldn't be online to play games all day and share her time with him.

But the meaning of these words was too long and too complicated to express.

On the screen, Zaizai's hair was messed up by her. After pinching his face red, his ears were dyed with a thin layer of red. The desolate leaf on his head finally disappeared.

After returning to the firewood courtyard, Zaizai hurriedly went into the room to take off his cloak. He hurriedly put on a robe and hurriedly reached out his hand. His palm was immediately gently pinched. Only then did he confirm that she hadn't left. He felt relieved. His eyes sparkled as he softly said to the air: "Tonight, according to yesterday's agreement, rolling out dough?"

Su Xi squeezed his right hand, indicating: No.

Tonight, there were other important things to do.

She opened the shop and found that some of the previously gray skill bars had been unlocked. That's right, now that she had 38 points, it was time to unlock these skills.

The seventh mission was to master better martial arts, the art of war, and physical strength to obtain the appreciation and support of the Zhenyuan General.

Zaizai's martial arts were secretly learned from him. Although he was already outstanding among the youths in the capital because of his talent, he could still go further.

In addition, in addition to the main and side missions, interpersonal relationships, and external environment, the points also included skills and physical fitness.

Nurturing one's skills to a certain level of proficiency; increasing one's physical strength to allow the young man's body to grow healthily would also allow him to obtain points.

After playing last night, he still had to study tonight. His mother had arranged everything for him.

Su Xi opened the shop.

A second later, Lu Huan discovered that several books were floating in front of him. Sun Tzu's Art of War, Six Strategies and Three Strategies, Hundred Battle Strategies, Taking Every Possibility into Consideration, and Sword Technique Illustrations.

Seeing Zaizai's face go blank for a second, Su Xi thought he didn't want to study, so he rubbed his head encouragingly.

He even exchanged for a sugar figurine from the store and waved it in the air, hinting to Zaizai that he could eat the sugar figurine after learning it.

Lu Huan: "…"

His expression was slightly strange. Previously, during the Yong An Temple incident, she had thought of a way to help him win a reputation in Jing. He had guessed that she intended for him to be drawn into the conflict in Jing.

And now, giving these to him, was it to urge him to improve his studies?

That was fine …

She even used a sugar figurine to tempt him … Lu Huan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

His figure was tall and his arms were slender and strong. He was already a young man, but in her eyes, why … did it seem like she was treating him like a child?

But from the previous question and answer, she was clearly only sixteen or seventeen years old.

But Lu Huan didn't think too much about it. He just smiled and opened his hands, and the books fell into his arms. He hugged the stack of books and looked at the air in front of him helplessly, intending to enter the room and read by the light.

But just as he was about to sit at the table, Su Xi stopped him again.

According to the main mission, sooner or later, he would be required to lead troops into battle. His mother was very worried, so the promotion plan couldn't be delayed.

Why not do push-ups while reading?

So Lu Huan blankly let the breeze beside him carry the books away and put them on the table. Then, the breeze picked him up horizontally —

He:!

On the screen, an exclamation mark appeared in the white bubble above Zaizai's head. Su Xi couldn't help but laugh outside the screen. Then, he gently placed Zaizai on the bed in the room. At this time, Zaizai was thinking about something. His face was as red as the clouds in the sky, and he even held his breath. But what Su Xi wanted to do was to flip the baby on the bed over like a glutinous rice ball.

He let him lie on the bed with his back facing up.

A string of ellipses appeared above Zaizai's head: …?

Su Xi gently lifted Zaizai's body and pressed his arms down slightly. Then, he pressed a finger on his back and let him slowly go down. In this way, a push-up was done.

Lu Huan, who was tormented by her, also understood. She wanted him to do this to train his body?

But the weight on his back …

Could it be that she was sitting on his back?

Su Xi, who was outside the screen, didn't know what Zaizai was thinking. He only knew that his bun-like face was inexplicably red, and the red gradually dyed the base of his neck. Then, as if to prove something, he suddenly did push-ups up and down quickly like the arrogant boys in school!

He finished dozens of them in an instant!

The speed, the strength, and the ease of his movements!

It made Su Xi speechless!
