Chapter 150 Desert Star
Chen Xiaobai had to admit, it's open, it's definitely open!
Otherwise, how could she have perfectly predicted what they were going to say, and even their reactions?
God knows how much trauma this episode caused me when I was a child in my past life...
"Nandesga?! (How could this be?, in Japanese)"
Guan Gu cried out in terror. He suddenly remembered a woman from his hometown who had crawled out of the television screen, and a chill ran down his spine.
Zeng Xiaoxian sighed, "No wonder I've been feeling lightheaded these past few days, and I keep dreaming about a white fox running in the rain..."
So it was that exotic flower from the Western Regions?
"what?"
Chen Xiaobai glanced at him. Had he picked up the wrong script?
Oh, by the way, Yu Mo planted the flowers in 3601 this time, and only borrowed the scissors from 3602. It's okay then!
Hu Yifei sighed, looking worried. "Actually, we should have realized this sooner. The more normal her behavior seems, the more abnormal it actually is!!!"
“Hey, I told you so long ago, but you guys didn’t take it seriously and always thought she could adjust on her own.”
Chen Xiaobai said without any curiosity, "These days, nobody believes the truth, or rather, they only believe what they see and what they speculate, and therefore think it's impossible."
And what's with all this talk? Oh dear, Yu Mo isn't that fragile~ Our Yu Mo will only take down scumbags~ Yu Mo, mwah~
Upon hearing this, everyone felt ashamed, realizing that it was indeed their negligence.
"Thinking about it, it makes sense. After being deceived for so many years, I thought it was a peaceful breakup, but I never expected him to abandon the mistress. Anyone would go crazy in that situation!"
Tang Youyou sighed and sat down on the sofa, her eyes filled with regret.
Lin Qingqing shook Chen Xiaobai's arm, "Xiaobai, what do we do now? Poor Yu Mo~~~"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to him, wanting to hear what insights Chen Xiaobai, who had learned about Yu Mo's situation immediately, had to offer.
"Cough cough~"
Chen Xiaobai coughed lightly and said, "In my opinion, the best outcome right now is to use a party to help Yu Mo get out of her predicament and open her heart!"
Everyone: "A party?!?"
"Yes, a party!"
Chen Xiaobai noticed everyone's confusion and immediately began to explain:
“Yu Mo is staying at home every day and doesn’t go out. She desperately needs to receive information from the outside world. We can’t let her keep overthinking, otherwise she might just pack her bags and run away.”
"And she needs a reason to cry her heart out! So... a party with a touching story would be perfect."
"Perfect timing! Didn't Yu Mo donate bags to the orphanage a couple of days ago? Zhang Wei and I also came from an orphanage, so why don't we throw a charity party?"
"If we come up with some touching stories and let Yu Mo have a good cry, things will definitely improve. What do you guys think?"
"This is good, I think it's a good idea!"
Hu Yifei immediately became excited; she felt this was very promising.
Lin Qingqing nodded, "I think that's okay too!"
"Hey, I think you guys are making a big fuss over nothing!"
Zeng Xiaoxian raised an eyebrow. How could their lives have changed so drastically? Weren't they just having a video chat? How did it suddenly turn into a party...?
"I've been reading about the Thirty-Six Stratagems lately, and I think this one is pretty good!"
Guan Gu rubbed his chin, thinking, and nodded.
Chen Xiaobai asked curiously, "Wow, Guan Gu, you've even read the Thirty-Six Stratagems. Tell me, what's this one called?"
"Um...that book is all in classical Chinese, I can't understand it!"
"So what was your statement...?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I was just saying that to let you know what I'm reading. It has nothing to do with my agreement with your plan!"
Everyone: "..."
......
Ultimately, the group did not agree to Chen Xiaobai's plan, because it was a final, desperate measure that would not be used until they had persuaded her through other means.
Because everyone thought of one thing: where could they find so many people to organize a charity gala?
Donating money is just too much of an expense!
Therefore, everyone decided to observe her further, mainly to keep an eye on her and prevent her from doing anything foolish, hoping that time could heal Yu Mo's wounds.
Chen Xiaobai had no objection, after all, he was just making a suggestion. It was a successful case, but they didn't know that if it didn't succeed, wouldn't all their efforts have been in vain?
It's worth noting that even in the original storyline, it took them three attempts to successfully save Yu Mo from her trauma.
......
Three more days passed.
Chen Xiaobai received the ring, a Desert Star the size of a pigeon's egg.
However, instead of handing the money over to Richard, Chen Xiaobai transferred it directly to his company, which infuriated Richard.
After all, he had voluntarily lowered the price considerably in order to earn some extra money for himself, and it was agreed that the money would be given directly to him.
However, this shameless person actually transferred the money directly into the public account, which dashed his hopes.
Chen Xiaobai apologized, saying he was half asleep and accidentally transferred the money to the wrong account. He asked if he could ask for it back and transfer it to the wrong account.
Richard: "Heh..."
......
As any guy who's been in a relationship knows, once a relationship has gone through its passionate phase and gradually stabilized, it also means that the relationship is about to decline.
Everything succumbs to time, and feelings are no exception.
After the initial excitement fades, the romantic love between couples gradually transforms into familial affection, as they become accustomed to having each other and living together.
Even some shortcomings that weren't initially apparent began to surface. For example, Chen Xiaobai was from the north and would only shower once every three days in winter and once a day in summer. Lin Qingqing couldn't accept this and insisted that he shower every day, regardless of the season. Chen Xiaobai understood this, and they quickly reached a consensus.
For example, Lin Qingqing likes sweet tofu pudding, while Chen Xiaobai prefers savory. That day, the two engaged in countless battles, from the restaurant to the balcony, then to the bedroom, the bathroom, the kitchen, and even the second-floor handrail...
They even had a three-day cold war because of it!
In the end, the two reached a consensus and decided to eat spicy food together!
There are many, many other things: Chen Xiaobai eats steamed buns, noodles, and rice, while Lin Qingqing eats rice and bread; Chen Xiaobai likes savory food, while Lin Qingqing likes sweet food...
We've gone a bit off-topic!
But what is the secret to delaying this period or preventing it from becoming mundane?
It's just a little surprise in life.
The occasional romance of a single flower, the joy of a piece of clothing, the surprise of a piece of jewelry, and so on...
But none of these can compare to a diamond ring the size of a pigeon's egg!
Even in later times, when diamond scams had been eliminated, the prices of genuine, high-quality diamonds remained consistently high.
When Lin Qingqing received the ring, she was speechless and covered her mouth in excitement.
Chen Xiaobai proposed to her; this is his engagement ring.
Of course, it was just an engagement; marriage was still a long way off, because Old Deng still hated him.
But this didn't stop Chen Xiaobai from taking revenge on his daughter. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he simply picked her up and stormed into the bedroom...
