Chapter 67
Ning Xi truly wondered if Li Hua’s mental state was still normal.
“Download WeChat again. I’m going to help you confess this time. Whether you succeed or not depends entirely on this one shot,” Ning Xi arranged directly.
Li Hua was instantly moved. “Sister, if this works, I’ll spend every day boosting your rankings and doing Super Topic tasks for you! I can’t sleep at night anyway!”
Ning Xi: “Heh.”
[It’s over, two ‘single-since-births’ have joined forces.]
[Ning Xi, maybe you shouldn’t be the one teaching him.]
[Sister, maybe you should hand this task over to someone else. I’m genuinely worried about you.]
Li Hua finished redownloading WeChat, and as soon as he opened it, he started shouting.
“Ahhh! Han Meimei just asked to meet me!”
Han Meimei was the object of Li Hua’s secret crush.
Ning Xi was surprised for a second. She had just arrived at Li Hua’s house for the mission, and his crush was already asking to meet up?
The coincidence felt a bit abnormal.
“Meimei asked where we should meet. I told her to go to the courthouse… Is that okay?”
Li Hua had originally wanted to set the date location himself, but remembering Ning Xi was his strategist, he asked out of politeness.
Ning Xi was stunned into silence for five seconds by the word ‘courthouse.’ “The courthouse? Why?”
Li Hua grinned, his face flushed with excitement. “She’s a law major, so she’ll definitely be interested in attending a court hearing. Besides, the environment at the courthouse is great-it’s quiet and solemn.”
Li Hua had a gratified smile on his face, as if thinking, Look how perfect my plan is.
[No wonder you’ve failed three confessions, kid.]
[Three is too few. You deserve to be rejected a hundred times.]
Ning Xi pressed her hand against her forehead, trying to stifle her laughter.
She tried thinking about every sad thing that had ever happened in her life, but she still couldn’t stop herself from letting out a honking laugh.
“Hahahahahahahahaha-honk honk honk!”
“Sister Xi?” Li Hua’s eyes were filled with clear, foolish confusion.
“The courthouse? You might as well go look at apartments with a real estate agent. You’d learn about buying property and get free snacks while you’re at it,” Ning Xi couldn’t help but retort.
“Oh, right!” Li Hua’s eyes lit up.
Ning Xi: Brain flatlined.
In the end, Ning Xi took total control and decided that Li Hua and Han Meimei would meet at Mixue Ice Cream & Tea.
That way, she could hide in a corner and act as his strategist to assist him.
At Mixue Ice Cream & Tea.
Li Hua and Han Meimei sat across from each other, both appearing somewhat awkward.
“You’re the guy! Tell some jokes to lighten the mood!” Ning Xi instructed Li Hua.
Li Hua, wearing an earpiece, signaled that he received the message. He looked at Han Meimei and smiled.
“Kittens have meows, puppies have woofs, ducklings have quacks… what do chickens have?”
Han Meimei paused. “Cock-a-doodle-doos?”
“Wrong! Chickens-tunities! Because opportunities are for those who are prepared!”
“Ha. Ha.”
Han Meimei forced out the laughter one syllable at a time.
Li Hua, meanwhile, rubbed his head smugly.
Ning Xi, wearing a mask and hiding in the corner, looked grim.
If Han Meimei can actually laugh at a pun like that, it seems everyone’s mental state is in a dire way.
After that, Li Hua and Han Meimei just kept their heads down, drinking their milk tea.
“Interact! You need to have an interaction! Why are you two just sitting there drinking milk tea in silence? You need to show off your masculine charm!” Ning Xi was frustrated by his lack of progress.
And so, that blockhead Li Hua stood up and struck a classic bodybuilder pose, flexing his biceps.
Han Meimei and Ning Xi were both completely stunned.
What was even more explosive was that after Li Hua sat down, Han Meimei actually stood up as well, grabbed her skirt, and did a little twirl.
As the strategist, Ning Xi’s mind was a mess. What are these two doing?
[Help! They have the guts to do it, but I don’t have the guts to watch. My secondhand embarrassment is terminal.]
[First time seeing two NPCs try to date. I’m loving this. Bravo!]
[I can tell, though-they both clearly like each other. It’s not just Li Hua’s unrequited love.]
[So it’s not that they can’t date, it’s just that these two NPCs aren’t trying hard enough?]
Just then, Han Meimei suddenly spoke up to find a topic:
“Blind boxes are so expensive. I finally saved up enough for the whole series, but the price went up again this month.”
Ning Xi was excited. “She’s sharing her daily life with you! Respond properly, then share your own daily life! After all, love starts with the desire to share!”
Li Hua nodded and looked at Han Meimei, asking with pure confusion:
“Then why didn’t you buy last month’s blind boxes?”
Han Meimei: ?
Ning Xi: ?
[I’m sweating for him, man.]
[My god, he’s impossible to carry.]
For a moment, Li Hua and Han Meimei fell back into silence.
After wiping the sweat from her forehead, Ning Xi once again gave Li Hua an assist:
“Bring up something emotional. Test the waters with her.”
So, Li Hua directly repeated Ning Xi’s instruction: “Then let’s talk about something emotional.”
Han Meimei gave a dry twitch of her lips. “Huh? Like what?”
Right, like what emotional topic?
Li Hua blinked frantically, asking Ning Xi for guidance.
In less than ten minutes, Ning Xi had been shocked four or five times by these two. Now, she was sweating buckets.
[The strategist has never been in a relationship either, so she doesn’t know!]
[What do you guys know? A strategist never actually takes the battlefield.]
[Wait, did you guys notice? When Han Meimei tucked her hair back just now, she had an earpiece in too! [Brain dead]]
[Holy crap, does Han Meimei have a strategist too?]
The netizens had been watching the stream from Ning Xi’s perspective and hadn’t switched to the other guests’ rooms, so they really hadn’t considered this possibility.
But just as they were about to switch streams to see if Han Meimei had a strategist-
Someone gently removed Ning Xi’s earpiece.
A familiar, low, and raspy voice-one that sounded gentle, lazy, and as if it were suppressing a multitude of emotions-rang out by her ear and throughout the entire livestream room.
“The moon is beautiful tonight. I mean… I missed you.”
