Chapter 41 No One Can Escape
Chapter 41 No One Can Escape
[This was so satisfying! Xu An pulled off a stunt, Bai Ge deceived everyone, and Wanwan took advantage of the chaos. Everyone in the small house is a master strategist!]
[Bai Ge truly deserves her title as an award-winning actress! I thought she was genuinely angry just now! Turns out it was all an act!]
[Wanwan is the real expert, okay? I didn't even notice she secretly switched Bai Ge's dipping sauce when she got the tissue.]
[Haha, not a single one escaped! Truly a gathering of wise men!]
[This is just a sarcastic comment; didn't Wanwan not get infected?]
As if she had seen this comment, Shen Wanwan suddenly did something unexpected.
Xu An looked at Shen Wanwan, who suddenly picked up a piece of mutton, dipped it in his dipping sauce, and put it in her mouth, and was somewhat puzzled.
Does Wanwan like spicy food?
I can't tell!
The moment this thought crossed Xu An's mind, he saw Shen Wanwan's eyes suddenly become watery, looking at him like a startled fawn.
"Uncle, it's spicy!"
Seeing Shen Wanwan looking somewhat pitiful, Xu An was speechless.
If you can't handle spicy food, why are you pretending?
Quickly hand Shen Wanwan a glass of water.
Zhang Lin, who had been quietly observing from the sidelines, watched this scene and couldn't help but sigh:
"That was fantastic!"
Unexpectedly, these words drew the attention of all four people present to him.
Xu An looked at him and said with a forced smile, "Uncle Zhang, you clearly knew, but you didn't remind me. Isn't that a bit unfair?"
Bai Ge, who was standing to the side, and Jiang Zhaoyue, who was overjoyed to see Xu An also suffer a severe injury, also looked at him with hostility.
Even Shen Wanwan, whose eyes were watering from the spiciness, turned her gaze towards them.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lin was taken aback.
No, am I wrong for not speaking up?
Xu An then prepared a dish of dipping sauce and pushed it over.
"Uncle Zhang, have a taste!"
Zhang Lin's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably as he looked at the dipping sauce Xu An had prepared.
"You could at least try to cover it up! What else is in this besides chili peppers?!"
"I'm an old man, won't you leave me alone?"
Zhang Lin's words of grief and indignation did not move the crowd.
In the end, Zhang Lin had no choice but to pick up a piece of fish, dip it, and put it in his mouth.
Hiss~ Hiss~
Seeing this, Xu An smiled with satisfaction and handed over a bottle of water.
"Uncle Zhang, you're getting on in years, if you can't eat spicy food, then don't eat it!"
Zhang Lin: ...
When the audience in the live stream saw the fake smile on Xu An's face, they were all overjoyed and forgot about Shen Wanwan's somewhat abrupt behavior earlier.
[This is hilarious! You didn't force me to do this, did you?]
Xu An's words warmed Uncle Zhang's heart; as for why Uncle Zhang was heartbroken, that's none of your concern!
Years later, Uncle Zhang will remember the day he decided to participate in the show.
……
After all that fuss, it was almost eight o'clock before everyone in the small house finally finished eating.
Afterwards, Jiang Zhaoyue didn't slack off and volunteered to clean up the dishes, while Bai Ge went to help her.
With nothing to do, Xu An returned to the courtyard, sat in a rocking chair, and opened a panel that only he could see.
At this point, his interface was somewhat more comprehensive than before.
[Host: Xu An]
[Reverse curl value: 7563]
Skills: Driving (Beginner), Programming (Advanced), Guitar (Beginner), Tractor Repair (Beginner)
[Backpack: "Those Flowers", playing cards, tissues, bottled water, a collection of corny jokes...]
Xu An looked at the return value—if he hadn't exchanged for the tractor repair skill, it would probably have been close to five figures by now. He thought to himself, "Live streaming increases it much faster."
He had spent the previous week leading the entire production team through a lot of work, but even with the addition of posting videos, his earnings only increased by a little over two thousand.
And today, after just one day of live streaming, the reverse value has already increased by 7,000.
You can now exchange it for an intermediate skill!
Or should I try opening seven more blind boxes?
The thought flashed through Xu An's mind, but thankfully, the tissues, bottled water, and collection of lame jokes in his backpack brought him back to his senses.
Let's keep stockpiling.
Looking at the glaring 50,000 bonus points required to exchange for the [Kidney Function Enhancement] item, Xu An pondered for a moment.
Two more episodes should be enough.
That's perfect, by then I should have figured out what I want to do.
Xu An touched his chin.
To obtain the anti-roll value, sufficient influence is required.
Becoming a star is clearly a shortcut to quickly gaining influence.
However, Xu An wasn't in a hurry.
I developed some PTSD from my past life's experience with curly hair, so now I'm not even in a rush to uncurl it.
[Reverse roll value +1]
[Reverse roll value +1]
Xu An was taken aback when he saw the system notification that suddenly appeared, but then he realized what it meant.
No, does not wanting to curl the hair back still count as curling it back?
System, when you get ruthless, you don't even spare yourself!
Xu An was both amused and exasperated.
Shen Wanwan, who had quietly approached from the side, noticed Xu An's changing expression and asked with some concern:
"What's wrong, Uncle? Is it a bit cold from the wind?"
After saying that, without waiting for Xu An's response, Shen Wanwan covered Xu An with the small blanket she had specially brought.
When Xu An saw the blanket that had suddenly appeared on him, he felt warm but also a little helpless.
"Wanwan, this pink blanket doesn't seem to match my style at all, does it?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Wanwan's lips curled up slightly, her voice carrying a hint of mischief.
"It's okay, Brother An, your style is very versatile."
"Is that how you use 'versatile'? Wanwan, you don't know who you learned bad habits from!"
Xu An said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Upon hearing this, Shen Wanwan did not speak, but looked at him with a subtle expression.
Xu An also realized what was happening.
It seems like she learned it from him?
"Cough cough, come closer, I'll share half with you."
Xu An casually gestured for Shen Wanwan to come closer, then spread half of the blanket over her legs, which were covered by her light blue shorts.
Under the pale moonlight, Shen Wanwan's calves looked like jade, so smooth they seemed to glow.
An ordinary person would surely want to take a second look, but Xu An frowned.
"Wanwan, watch out for mosquitoes."
Shen Wanwan was taken aback by the sudden words, but then she looked at the blanket on her lap and couldn't help but smile.
She didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.
The two of them lay down in the yard, their two deck chairs pressed together, covered with the same blankets, and quietly looked at the stars in the sky without saying a word.
At this moment, Shen Wanwan was filled with mixed feelings. She wanted to thank Xu An for his thoughtfulness, but she also felt that there was no need for thanks between them.
"Uncle! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Seeing Xu An lying in the chair pretending to narrate something, Shen Wanwan blushed and couldn't help but say coquettishly.
"Ahem, sorry, the atmosphere was right, I couldn't help it."
Xu An's words left the viewers in the live stream speechless.
No, who asked you?
Whenever I feel the atmosphere is perfect, Xu An always manages to easily ruin it with a single word.
[A purely atmospheric damage machine.]
[What do you mean you don't understand the atmosphere? I can only say you're still too young. This is clearly a case of not being able to handle pressure!]
