Chapter 281: Daughter of the Republic VS Chinese Opera Singer

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

This certainly must be the case. Shi HuaYi, who thought he had found the reason, looked at XunMi with an expression that became increasingly full of tender affection.

He thought to himself that once she was with him, he would like to dote on her like this.

From the beginning, he never once thought, what kind of big face do you have to let her cast away her husband and throw herself into your arms?

Suddenly BaoBao appeared, crouched on XunMi’s shoulder, and couldn’t help muttering, [Host, what did you do? This capture strategy just started; how is it already almost completed?]

Looking at the progress bar on the control panel, the favorability rating had passed 80%, but it couldn’t be called a proper strategy.

This Male Lead was also really something! What kind of Male Lead was this, to come up by chance and give people good favorability, really a weak chicken!

BaoBao would like to express its resentment; doing it this way made it feel like there was no sense of accomplishment.[1]

What capture strategy texts in the shopping center? They would certainly cry if they knew they would be so useless one day.

It had checked the Host’s backpack and attributes, but there really wasn’t a Female Lead Halo inside. There was also no White Lotus or Mary Sue Halo, so how had the capture target been captured? It was truly confusing, ah![2]

If the Male Lead were asked at this moment, he would definitely say, I think she’s nothing like those pretty and flirtatious cheap goods.

Looking at people with a slight smile, laughing brightly and gently, one point too much was excessive, and one point too little was fake.

The whole person also exuded a captivating aura, and not wanting to attract attention wouldn’t work.

While carrying such a puzzling feeling, and disliking the situation of being around Ziju BaiLin, Shi HuaYi stayed for a little over two hours, and after finishing the meal, he left.

He must find a way to rescue Miss Nian from this abyss of suffering, and then let her throw herself into his arms.

Walking cheerfully down a dimly lit street, before he could finish pondering over his happy future, something came out of nowhere and bumped into him, knocking him over.

If he hadn’t quickly reached out to the wall next to him for support, he probably would have made intimate contact with the ground.

Once he steadied himself, he was able by the light of the moon to look at what had just hit him.

Uh, why did it seem to be a person?

Lying on the ground was the Female Lead, Nian Xue’er, who had finally successfully contacted the Nian family during the day, and had decided to buy some new clothes for herself since she was in a good mood.

She hadn’t been paying attention to the time, and by the time she had finished, it was already evening.

She had just entered the alleyway when she felt that someone was chasing behind her, and, afraid, she picked up her skirt and ran. She wasn’t looking in front of her when she turned a corner and ran into something.

She crawled up from the ground, and the pain in her wrist told her that she must have broken the skin.

She looked around in resentment, trying to find the culprit who had caused her to fall down.

But when she located him, her eyes shrank in distress, her face lost color, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

How could he be here? No, why did she have to meet him? No, she had to be calm, cool, everything had started over, they were merely strangers, strangers.

She forcibly retracted her eyes, turned her head stiffly, and ran away in a panic.

She was scared, so scared she couldn’t help it.

It should be said that the person she hated the most was Nian XunMi, but the person she feared the most was this Major General from the Western Region, Shi HuaYi.

The memories of her last life kept flashing in her mind. She was forced to become an army prostitute, forced to seduce those Japanese officers.

Fortunately, in the end she had died, although to this day she still didn’t know how she died.

But it didn’t matter. Those bad days were gone.

Shi HuaYi hadn’t yet reacted when he saw the person look at himself and then leave.

The outstretched hand had not yet grasped the other person, the open mouth had not yet spoken, and the person was gone!

This speed was too fast, was it some kind of monster?

With a gloomy heart, Shi HuaYi picked up his hat that had fallen to the ground, and rambled off.

The people in Li Hua Province were inexplicably really strange.

Nian Xue’er, who was hiding around the corner, was trembling all over, though her inner fear could be said not to exist anymore.

She closed her eyes firmly. She had already avoided being rescued by Shi HuaYi due to being thrown out by Marshal Ziju.

And naturally, Shi HuaiYi would not find out she was targeting Nian XunMi in the dark, thus leading him to throw her into the army barracks to be played with.[3]

Not to mention not being careful and being accidentally seen by a Japanese envoy, thus needing to go and please the other party.

None of these things would happen, so Nian Xue’er, you must be calm, you must forget.

Making great efforts to persuade herself, Nian Xue’er turned and blended into the darkness.

It was as though someone who had never walked in the light had been swallowed up again by the darkness. The integration was too strange.

XunMi left Ziju BaiLin early the next morning and took ShuiXian with her back home. She had to admit, she was very curious about the Female Lead’s matters from yesterday.

Upon entering the courtyard, XunMi heard the sound of laughter, and she wondered who could have come this early?

When she stepped inside, she saw her elder sister sitting at the side fidgeting, and she seemed pissed off.

“Jie, who doesn’t have eyes and provoked you this early in the morning la? Come, MeiMei will comfort you.”

She walked over, laughing and joking, “Smile, how can a beautiful girl look so miserable?”

When Nian ShuRong saw XunMi, her expression instantly improved, and she pulled on XunMi’s hand without letting go.

“You still dare you make fun of your sister, but just look at who hasn’t returned home after being away so long.” She rebuked her angrily, but her face was filled with smiles.

“Xiao Mi, why did you remember to come back today? Oh that’s right, come, let me introduce you to someone.”

Ji JinWen[4] was also very happy to see XunMi and promptly greeted her.

XunMi obediently walked over. Uh, ok, so it turns out to be the Female Lead.

This speed wasn’t bad. She had only met her brother and father yesterday, and today she was visiting them at home.

The Nian father and mother really loved and cared for the original body, how could she return this love for the original body?

“It’s Miss Hai Tang, ah. I’ve seen you before; Miss Hai Tang’s singing performance is really good.”

XunMi’s praise was sincere. As a layman, she really thought the Female Lead’s singing was pretty good. Although she’d only heard a few verses, her charm, her voice, and her emotions were altogether well done.

Nian Xue’er felt fear once again. Why was Nian XunMi back? Shouldn’t she still be abroad now?

Thinking of everything that had happened this time around, everything was wrong. Could it be because of her rebirth?

A flash of doubt crossed XunMi’s mind. Why did it seem there was something amiss with the Female Lead’s expression while looking at her?

It was as if she were a little surprised, and a little bit hostile… she stared again, but the other person had lowered her head to hide her face.

Nian Xue’er stood up and bowed to XunMi in a salute, thereby covering the surprise in her eyes.

“I’ve long heard of Miss Nian’s name, and today I see your looks are really unparalleled. Your beauty is unmatched in this generation.”

The jealousy in her eyes was nearly insane, and the hatred in her heart continued to surge.

XunMi was a little embarrassed to be praised so openly.

Sure enough, she had misinterpreted it before. The Female Lead was still very good.

Note:

[1] Wow for the first time I got a pronoun for BaoBao: a genderless “it.”

[2] It’s definitely the charm points. Just ask Ning Shu from QT Cannon Fodder’s Record of Counterattacks.

[3] WTF.

[4] Reminder, this is XunMi’s aunt.
