Am I destined to be cannon fodder? Unlock the system and lead the motherland

Chapter 17: Innocent Boy

"Even if the old man of the Shi family doesn't want to, it will be difficult for him to end up with an illegitimate child."

Yun Yimeng lowered her head in silence, feeling a mixture of emotions. Although she didn't love Shi Heshen much, she knew that this relationship was more of a use. Of the men in Dongcheng who were worthy of her, Shi Heshen was her first choice, but there were better ones out there, and she wasn't about to jump into the grave of an engagement so early.

The soft light illuminated her flickering eyes. She knew that in East City, where power and profit intertwined, marriage was often just another game. Shi Heshen could provide her with the connections and resources she needed.

Yun Yimeng curled her lips into a sneer. Since the game had already begun, she had to be the one who controlled the rules.

"Mom, I understand." In the end, Yun Yimeng comforted her mother. She knew in her heart that in this society dominated by interests, emotions are often the least valued. She would never be like Yun Ximo, who was blinded by love.

Bian Chi and Yun Ximo returned to the box.

After the girl sat down, she noticed that there was a bowl of eel soup in front of her, and her little face showed a bit of rejection.

Seeing the girl's reaction, Bian Chi said with a hint of teasing, "Why, is it not to your liking?"

Yun Ximo instinctively reached out and moved the soup bowl aside. She really hated eels: "Well, I don't really like to eat it."

"This isn't pig liver." Bian Chi said as he moved the soup bowl back to its original position. "I remember you often had to drink this when you were a child because of anemia. Look at your slender figure now, you should just drink it!"

Yun Ximo stared at the bowl of soup, and experienced a long inner struggle. In the end, she made a bitter face and forced herself to drink it all.

Bian Chi ordered a few more dishes, knowing that you must still be hungry.

"These dishes are ordered for you."

At this moment, the cell phone suddenly vibrated. Yun Ximo put down her chopsticks and took out her cell phone from her pocket.

It turned out to be a game notification. When she clicked it, an image of a furry little white dog appeared on the screen, smiling happily.

Yun Ximo: "..." No wonder my mind was so quiet, it turns out you have returned to the game.

Then I saw the message from the system: [Congratulations to the player for successfully completing the task!] Before the system could say the next sentence, Luo Luo jumped out.

Luo Luo angrily sent a message on behalf of the system: [Momo, do you think it feels good to slap Bai Lianhua in the face? ]

[You have successfully unlocked the antique communication skill.]

Yun Ximo raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling a little curious.

She typed a few words and asked: [How can I use this new skill? ]

Luo Luo immediately replied: [You just need to open the game warehouse, find the antique and click on the skill to unlock it.]

Yun Ximo followed the instructions and successfully unlocked the antique communication skill.

Then, the game gave the next step: [Now, you just need to press the antique skill icon with your finger for five seconds.]

Although Yun Ximo was a little skeptical, she decided to try to find an antique another day to see if they could really communicate. After finishing the meal, Bian Chi slowly stood up with a leisurely look on his face, "I'll take you home."

After going out, Yun Ximo saw a supermarket across the street and raised her eyebrows: "I'm going to the supermarket to buy some things."

Upon hearing this, Bian Chi quickly put away his car keys, quickly followed, and reached out to grab the girl's wrist.

Yun Ximo turned around, broke free from the boy's hand, and said repeatedly, "You don't have to follow me, I'm just going to buy some things."

Bian Chi was extremely persistent. His bright eyes locked onto the girl and he began to act coquettishly: "I want to go with you."

Yun Ximo shook her head firmly: "No, I'll be back soon!" Then she was about to turn around and leave, but Bian Chi followed her like a sticky piece of gummy candy.

Yun Ximo stopped, turned around and looked directly at Bian Chi, with a hint of teasing in her eyes: "Bian Chi, you're not afraid that I'll run away, are you?"

Bian Chi avoided her gaze somewhat guiltily and continued to act coquettishly: "No!"

Then he put on an aggrieved expression, tugged at the corner of Yun Ximo's clothes tightly, and whispered, "I just want to be with you."

Yun Ximo smiled cunningly: "That's fine, I won't be polite. Anyway, I'm short of money recently, so you will be responsible for paying the bill and helping me carry things." "Of course, no problem!" Bian Chi agreed readily with a smile.

When Bian Chi heard this, a bright smile instantly broke out on his face. Like a child who had obtained a favorite toy, he excitedly took Yun Ximo's hand and walked towards the supermarket together.

Afterwards, the girl finished shopping in the snack area, and finally... her footsteps stopped at the women's products area of ​​the supermarket. This scene instantly made Bian Chi's cheeks blush.

He scratched his head awkwardly, standing there at a loss, his eyes flickering. He wanted to look away but couldn't help but secretly glance at Yun Ximo. Yun Ximo, on the other hand, was calm and composed. While selecting the necessities, she didn't forget to turn around and wink at him, teasing, "Why, you've never seen a girl shopping before?"

Bian Chi coughed twice, trying to make his expression look more natural, and squeezed out a sentence stiffly: "No, no..." Yun Ximo smiled, the shopping basket in her hand was already full.

Yun Ximo watched Bian Chi walk out of the supermarket door with a shopping bag in his hand and a red face. She couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Bian Chi, you're so innocent. You even blush when you carry a shopping bag filled with menstrual products for girls. You're such a pure boy."

Bian Chi was both embarrassed and annoyed, so he pretended to be angry and raised the plastic in his hand to throw it at Yun Ximo, threatening: "Yun Ximo, if you laugh again, I will spank you!"

Instead of restraining herself, Yun Ximo laughed even more unscrupulously, almost bending over with laughter, completely disregarding her image.

"Just wait and see!" Bian Chi said gritting his teeth, and immediately took a step forward to chase after Yun Ximo.

Yun Ximo blinked, then turned and ran. The two chased each other happily on the road, and their laughter and shouts intertwined together, forming a lively picture.

Bian Chi suddenly heard a dog barking. He stopped and looked around, his eyes fixed on a large green trash can. He took a step closer and looked inside. He saw a dirty puppy lying in the garbage, young, helpless and pitiful.

Yun Ximo also walked forward and saw it, and instantly remembered that when she was on Silver Moon Star, her friend brought her a cute pastoral dog from Earth. The little guy was cute and smart, and he would look very handsome when he grew up.

The puppy in front of me is petite, and seems to be only two months old, still a baby. In this cold winter, how can it survive this winter if it is left alone?
