nCh 281: Daughter of the Republic VS Chinese Opera Singer (11.13)

nThis 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.

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

n

n

nFrom 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?

nSuddenly 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?

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

nThis 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!

n

n

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

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

nIt 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

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

n

n

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

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

nWhile 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.

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

nWalking 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.

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

n

n

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

nUh, why did it seem to be a person?

nLying 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.

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

nShe 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.

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

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

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

n

n

nHow 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.

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

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

nIt 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

nThe people in Li Hua Province were inexplicably really strange.

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

n

n

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

nAnd 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

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

nNone of these things would happen, so Nian Xue’er, you must be calm, you must forget.

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

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

nXunMi 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.

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

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

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

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

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

n“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.

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

nJi JinWen4 was also very happy to see XunMi and promptly greeted her.

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

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

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

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

nXunMi’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.

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

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

nA 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?

nIt 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.

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

n“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.”

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

nXunMi was a little embarrassed to be praised so openly.

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

nTranslator’s Notes

n1 Wow for the first time I got a pronoun for BaoBao: a genderless “it.”

n2 It’s definitely the charm points. Just ask Ning Shu from QT Cannon Fodder’s Record of Counterattacks.

n3 WTF.

n4 Reminder, this is XunMi’s aunt.
