Something's wrong, they're not NPCs?

Chapter 381: Come to Atone

2017. Two years have passed since An Shiyao left the company.

Su Ming was not idle. He went to Windsor Castle and Canada at his own expense... but nothing happened.

I tried looking in Sea Island City, but couldn't find it either.

It seems that there are only An Shiyao and An Xiaoxi in this world.

When should the task be completed?

Time, for Su Ming, one year, two years, or even decades is not a difficult thing to endure, not to mention that there is nothing difficult that he needs to do with this ordinary body. It's just a strategy, there is no easier task than this.

"Master, I won't go out for a barbecue this Christmas."

The apprentice Xiao Li spoke mysteriously from the side.

"..."

Su Ming didn't even have to think, "Be nice to Xiao Zhang. Save your money well, so you won't have to waste time with your mother-in-law in the future."

"?"

"No, how do you know that Xiao Zhang and I are dating? Don't scare me. I heard that her mother is a retired bank employee and she's not easy to talk to..."

"..."

Not scared.

After all, after this incident, Xiao Li came to him to complain for a long time because his mother-in-law looked down on him.

As for this Christmas.

Su Ming would not be alone. He chose a passive attack method, so it would not be the case that there would be no results after two years.

The mobile phone had already received the news.

[Brother-in-law, my sister is coming to see you]

It was a familiar name, but there was no ambiguity in it, it was just a normal snitch.

[Ah... When did you guys confirm your relationship? You've been secretly calling me brother-in-law. We're not a couple, and I even came to your place during the holidays. Who would believe that?]

【…】

Whether An Xiaoxi believes it or not, the fact is that the window paper has not been broken.

[Hehe, let me tell my brother-in-law another secret. My sister is back this time. ]

[Is it possible that he will really confess his feelings? ]

【Thank me】

[If I hadn’t said that, the female colleague next to my brother-in-law would have been eager to make a move… She also said that I thought my brother-in-law was very manly and provoked him. She would never take the initiative in her life.]

12 month 25 day.

Night.

"Didn't expect me to come?"

"..."

There was a knock on the door of the rental house, and when the door was opened, An Shiyao, who was dressed exquisitely, could be seen. There was a small box hidden behind her.

"Please accept the gift. It's just... a watch."

Before Su Ming could open it, she had already shyly revealed what was inside.

"..."

Su Ming also took out the small box he had prepared.

"Eh? For me?"

She was visibly stunned, "You knew I was coming?"

"..."

Su Ming nodded.

"Damn it, Xiaoxi is telling on me again!"

"I didn't say anything weird to you, did I?"

"..."

Looking at her slightly nervous expression, Su Ming shook his head.

"That's good...ah, I'm already here, don't you want to show your appreciation?"

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she breathed a sigh of relief and then tried to avoid the ambiguous atmosphere.

[Character: An Shiyao]

【Favourability: 86】

This is the current situation.

The second mission was completed long ago, and they didn't even meet much. It was solved by looking for clues about the other wives while chatting on the phone after work.

[Current mission: Save An Shiyao (favorability > 100)]

It’s quite difficult, right?
In this ordinary environment, there is no separation between life and death. If Su Ming wants to break through 100 suddenly, he really can't think of a good way.

After such a long time, Su Ming had long given up the idea of ​​looking for other people.

Focus on completing the current task.

"You just gave me a scarf?"

"If you don't want it, give it back to me. My neck is a little cold."

"earth."

"..."

Having said that, she still pretended to be generous and wrapped it around her, "Indeed, it's just right to keep warm. Do you have any shame to want to take back something you gave away?"

Why are you so nervous and restrained in everything you say and do?
Ok.

What An Xiaoxi said must be true. She chose Christmas to come back this time for a purpose.

It would be strange if I wasn't nervous when I was looking for an opportunity to confess my feelings.

really.

Compared to going on a raid, I am more familiar with this. I am not being arrogant... I am more skilled at being the one being raided. I have too much experience.

12 month 25 day.

Night.

Normally, after dinner, you should just stroll around and then go home.

But An Shiyao obviously didn't think so.

There was no mention of returning to the hotel.

Perhaps knowing that she couldn't delay any longer, she finally spoke as she passed by the brightly lit snack street, "I slept on the plane... I'm not that sleepy. Are you sleepy?"

"Kind of."

"I'm not sleepy. Let's go find a place to talk about the business plan. I really plan to start a company in a year."

"..."

Are you using it as an excuse?

12 month 26 day.

early morning.

A teahouse where people play cards is not a place to discuss business plans; it's too noisy.

"that is!"

"Those men only cared about my background and my appearance, nothing else."

"Good or bad...how to get along."

"I don't like being flattered blindly."

"..."

Maybe it was premeditated, so I ordered two bottles of beer.

Su Ming drank one cup. She drank one and a half bottles. Her face was already red. She was a little shaky.

"Have you ever been in love?"

"……No."

That's not a lie, right?
If even my first love An Shiyao doesn't exist here, then it means we have never been together.

"Gulu gulu."

She drank the last sip of beer in the glass and stared at Su Ming.

"Tell me honestly...what do you think of me?"

There was no way to hide that.

Just drinking alcohol wouldn't cause you to stutter when speaking.

"Are you, um, not interested in women? You're interested in men..."

"No. I am a normal person."

"..."

She choked again, as if she didn't know how to continue.

"Then... don't you like younger ones? You think they are too ignorant and immature..."

"No."

"So what do you like?"

"You are like this."

"..."

It was visibly that her face tensed up. She seemed startled and tried to hold the cup but lost it. If Su Ming hadn't helped hold it, the wine would have spilled.

"you you……"

He didn't say anything for a long time.

"…Like me?"

Her cheeks flushed and her voice was as quiet as possible.

"Ah."

Su Ming nodded.

"But... aren't we friends? I treat you as a friend, but you actually..."

"Then just pretend I didn't say anything."

"..."

She lowered her head again, hesitating, "I...I didn't say it, no."

Holding the scarf, her body was a little shaky.

"You obviously know...my sister must have told on you."

"No, she won't let me tell you about her snitching."

"You betrayed me! Asshole!"

12 month 26 day.

Su Ming was overthinking.

I thought An Shiyao would invite him to the hotel. But in fact, nothing happened.

After sending her back to the hotel, I just hugged her for a moment at the door and she jumped away nervously.

"No... I, I'm still young."

"..."

It's really big. It can oppress my conscience.

Thinking about whether it is related to An Shiyao here or not. After all, Su Ming still doesn't understand what this is.

12 month 27 day.

She only had one day.

I'm leaving today.

"Why are you so skilled? Kissing."

"Really? You never talked about it?"

"..."

"What's not in the TV show?"

Su Ming was the one who took the initiative to kiss in the rental house. With her current personality, it was impossible.

The thinking is stuck in a very ancient era, where holding hands might be the limit.

"Only this time. Next time... don't be so sudden."

Ok?
"Okay, I'll tell you first next time."

"I mean! You don't have that much advantage to take! These... should wait until after marriage."

1 month 1 day.

company holiday.

Su Ming went directly to Kyoto.

When you say you want to get married, that's all just being reserved.

What can’t you do once things have come to fruition?

"You really want to touch me?"

"Then let's make it clear first. You can only touch me once... and you are not allowed to do anything else."

"..."

For 20-year-old An Shiyao, the cafeteria does seem a little smaller.

"What are you doing with your hands under your clothes?"

"..."

It’s not that Su Ming is pursuing progress, it’s that he is too used to it.

"..."

In a sense, her personality is actually the same as An Shiyao in real life, five years later.

I'd really be shy.

I really don't want you to stare at me and feel restless again.

"The best I can do is...hands or something."

"Need not."

"Won't you feel uncomfortable?"

"meeting."

"I always thought that you had no interest in me... Humph."

I carefully stretched out my hand from under the blanket and slowly moved it around. I seemed a little scared... and then I immediately separated.

Then put it back again.

Too green.

She didn't know her XP as clearly as Yao did seven years later.

"Is that the way?"

"more or less."

"I, I know that all you men will watch that kind of movies... If you have a better way, just tell me. As long as it's not that."

"I haven't seen it."

"You're lying. When I asked you this, you became..." He stared at the TV without blinking, but his face turned red to his ears.

what.

In this regard, his senses were as sharp as Yao's five years later. He could tell whether someone was lying just by looking at the slightest change in himself.

Then teach me.

"Dirty! Perverted!"

1 month 16 day.

Su Ming went to An Shiyao's university in person to pick her up.

When I saw her come out, she first greeted some friends in a very cold manner, and then I found myself... I walked over in two steps.

"I told you, you don't need to come."

"I can find it myself."

Holding hands naturally.

"..."

Such an action was bound to surprise the classmates who were used to An Shiyao's icy face.

In fact, her personality is easy to understand if you study it carefully.

If you can first break through her filter of "not liking men" and successfully be by her side, you may be able to capture her.

But the most important thing is that I know her too well. It's not surprising that I have broken through that filter and used my own experience to get to the current situation.

1 month 16 day.

Night.

"Why should I stay in a hotel? I'll stay at your place."

"..."

Again.

After two years, I still haven't gotten rid of the habit of eating without suffering.

"There's nothing wrong with sharing a bed... You are not allowed to take off your clothes."

1 month 16 day.

late at night.

Su Ming could sleep, but An Shiyao, who was originally separated by a quilt and now lay directly in Su Ming's arms, couldn't sleep.

"..."

There is no other reason.

It’s New Year’s Day, and the couple upstairs didn’t go home. They were on holiday at home. It’s a night when they don’t have to think about going to work the next day...that’s normal.

For a rent of 500, don't expect good sound insulation.

1 month 17 day.

early morning.

Even after moving to the hotel, the ambiguous atmosphere did not improve.

"Um... your feet really don't feel dirty?"

"will not."

"..."

She was silent for a long time, and her breath in the quilt became hotter and hotter.

"I am a bit conservative, but I also know that many people in today's society don't care."

"Isn't that a bit stubborn?"

"It's not bad. It's actually quite rare."

This is the truth. According to common surveys, few people of An Shiyao's age are virgins, regardless of gender.

"Well... I've thought about that. If you really want it, I'll... give it to you."

"but!"

"Now, I'm a little...scared."

"Wait a little longer, I'll be mentally prepared... ok?"

"……Can."

No problem.

"Then...you are not allowed to think about that kind of thing again."

"..."

anyway.

Although her movements were clumsy, the 20-year-old An Shiyao's thighs were fuller than they were five years later.

The reason is very normal.

Because at that time, An Shiyao didn't seem to like the "fleshy feeling", and she practiced her legs for a long time. Although she couldn't get rid of the fleshy feeling in the end, she gave up because she revealed her XP directly. But she still lost a little bit of the fleshy feeling.

“Woo! You…”

"..."

"That's it. Don't ask, and don't ask for anything else."

Her face was completely buried in the quilt. She would not take a shower openly like An Shiyao five years later.

"Why are you..."

There is no way. I have been almost insulated from such things in the past two years, and even thought that I was actually a sage.

But it seems not.

If you are really teased, it will inevitably turn out like this.

1 month 20 day.

An Shiyao planned to stay in Dongshi until a few days before the New Year.

But my father-in-law didn't think so.

In other words... he didn't consider Su Ming as his son-in-law at all.

I thought it was a plot that only happened in TV dramas, but the reality is just so simple.

"Make an offer, live somewhere else, and don't show up in front of my daughter again."

"..."

The check was placed in front of Su Ming.

1 month 22 day.

Night.

An's father's actions failed to stop An Shiyao from staying here.

Instead, it led to something else.

"If I wasn't the eldest daughter of the An family, would you still like me?"

"……meeting."

"Well."

Her eyes were firm, "Do that. Do it now... As long as everyone knows that I'm with you, he will either agree or be laughed at."

"..."

"Come on, y-you want that, don't you? I'm mentally prepared now."

1 month 22 day.

late at night.

Regarding his father-in-law, Su Ming had already signed a military order.

Prenuptial agreement.

After getting married, I will create an industry with a market value of no less than 1000 million yuan.

Because he knew too well what his father-in-law was thinking, Su Ming could even talk until he could find no reason to stop him.

In fact, the core point is that the father-in-law seems to have a bad relationship with his daughter... but in fact, he cares about her to the extreme. If it is really the person An Shiyao has chosen, he will not think there is any threat and will not say anything. Giving the check is probably just a part of the test.

"So...he agreed?"

"agreed."

"..."

An Shiyao, who was lying on Su Ming with her hands, was becoming more and more embarrassed. Her face was turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"You didn't ask."

"I, I just found out from my sister yesterday that he was here, and I was so worried..."

She seemed to be prepared to pretend that she had said nothing and lie back quietly.

"You said you were ready, right?"

"what?"

She suddenly became nervous, "No, no... I didn't."

"..."

Su Ming would never take what she just said as a request.

Just lay her back down and wait ten minutes.

"Well, you...you've thought so far ahead. You've thought about everything after marriage and about dad. I, I'm also...mentally prepared."

She herself would be unable to sleep and would then expose herself.

"Weren't you always smart?"

"You must have known whether I was prepared or not."

"..."

"Speak? What do you want me to do...eh?!"

Su Ming chose not to reply and just reached out his hand.

Take out your hand again.

Put it in front of her.

"Don't, don't show it to me... idiot!"

"If you continue like this, I'll say I'm not mentally prepared... and I won't give you anything."

"..."

So, does it count as cheating?

It is difficult for Su Ming to express his feelings for her five years later.

【Favourability: 97】

【Description: A girl who likes you. 】

But the relationship has heated up.

Facing her body, Su Ming couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse to continue to heat up.

Whether it was the mission or herself. If it was the past... where was the past?
Before rebirth?

What was I like before my rebirth? I don't remember ever meeting An Shiyao.

1 month 25 day.

It’s not long before the Chinese New Year.

"Does it look good?"

"..."

For some reason, her legs were wrapped in the black stockings that she had worn during her internship at the company.

"Don't think I don't know. You also secretly watched it. But you weren't distracted."

Before they had sex, she was too conservative.

After that happened, she changed so quickly, although she was still shy and blushed.

"The company has a secretary and several female employees..."

"I haven't seen it."

"Who asked if you've seen it? I just... asked if I'm better."

"..."

A blushing face and nervous words are more convincing than simple numbers.

【Favourability: 99】

According to this trend, the 100 points I originally thought were not that difficult at all. It just took a little more time.

Not a price to pay.

So, this is the end? Have a dream about a different time from An Shiyao's past.

Forget it.

No matter what, there is no way to retreat here.

"What are you doing?"

“…Take a good look.”

"Do you think it's necessary to put it next to your mouth? Hey! Woo…"

Let’s break through 100 first.

-

the other side.

reality.

An Shiyao was very confused.

"Eh? Mr. An? Just now you..."

More and more strange things happened.

First, he asked his secretary to pick him up, saying that he had just seen him in the company ten minutes ago and he didn't need to be picked up today.

Then I was in a bad mood late at night, and when I came to the company, I greeted the employees as usual. Everyone was very surprised... saying that I had greeted them half an hour ago and had been here.

Who is still asleep?
When I got to the office, everything became clear.

"Good morning."

Sitting in her place was a woman who looked exactly like her, with no difference from her clothes to her appearance.

"This is a great location. I can see the sun and think about what kind of dinner I'm going to make for him when I get home after work. I also think about what kind of expression he'll have when he eats it."

"..."

The weather was good, the sun was out for the first time in a long time. All I needed was a coat that wasn't too thick.

But An Shiyao was cold all over.

Why is there an identical version of myself in front of me? Still asleep?

"Don't worry, I mean no harm. I'm here to atone for my sins."

"..."

No.

It's true, she really exists.
