Doomsday Club

Chapter 16: Stealing a Drink

Xu Nuo was stunned for a moment.

Turning to look at Lin Xiaoxiao, who was blushing, he suddenly realized a very serious problem.

If Lin Xiaoxiao dreams about him every time he travels through time, then he has no secrets from Lin Xiaoxiao.

all the time.

He only really cared about Lin Xiaoxiao twenty years in the future; he didn't pay much attention to her in the present timeline.

But now, it seems that's not the case anymore.

Whether in the present or the future, he must keep Lin Xiaoxiao firmly tied to his team.

Otherwise, if Lin Xiaoxiao were to be recruited by the World Destroyer Organization, it would be a true catastrophe for Xu Nuo.

"What are you two whispering about?"

Mingyue suddenly leaned closer and looked suspiciously at Lin Xiaoxiao, whose face was flushed.

I don't know why, but I always feel like there's something fishy going on between these two.

Holy crap! I always thought I was the first person to actually see the boss!

It's surprising that Xu Nuo, who seems like a gentleman, had already met with a wealthy woman in private.

Why is there an NTR element?!

"It's nothing, I just happen to have something to tell you."

Seeing that Mingyue had finally finished her work, Xu Nuo smiled and said.

He thoughtfully "pulled" Lin Xiaoxiao to a corner to sit down, then turned around and went into the empty private room next door with Mingyue.

"What's going on, sir? Why are you being so secretive?"

"Nothing much, just had a bit of inspiration and wanted to chat about books with you."

Xu Nuo chuckled.

For the first time, I realized how much convenience my novel had brought me.

It can not only bring in revenue, but also provide a pretext for discussing the plot.

Upon hearing this, Mingyue also became serious.

He genuinely liked this book.

Mingyue was overjoyed when the author said he wanted to discuss the plot with her.

Who doesn't dream of writing? Especially these bookworms.

However, due to either lack of time or other reasons, they ultimately had no chance to write books and could only enjoy reading them.

Now that an opportunity to discuss the plot is right in front of you, doesn't that mean you'll be involved in the future development of your favorite work?

Therefore, Mingyue took it very seriously.

"Actually, I just have a question I'd like to ask you, and I'd like to hear your opinion."

Xu Nuo carefully chose her words: "If the apocalyptic white light from the book really descends, what kind of new material will be used to build basements?"

"hiss……"

Mingyue scratched his head; this question had clearly stumped him.

He's not exactly a materials science expert; he knows absolutely nothing about this field.

"Or to put it another way."

Xu Nuo had naturally anticipated Mingyue's reaction: "If the apocalypse really does come at the end of the year, would you buy this new material to build a shelter?"

"I hadn't really thought of that before."

"After all, the end of the world is simply impossible."

Mingyue spoke truthfully: "But now that you've asked, I might actually find this material and buy it to build a shelter."

"It's not because of resisting the apocalypse, but I just feel that it would be interesting to build a scene from the book in reality, and it wouldn't cost much anyway."

Fan art depicting a specific scene.

Thinking of this, Mingyue's tone even carried a hint of anticipation.

What could be more interesting than replicating the scenes from a book in real life, one-to-one?

When you take a picture and post it in the group chat, it'll be incredibly impressive, right?

"Okay, I understand."

Seeing Mingyue's reaction, Xu Nuo smiled and spoke.

He had achieved his goal; his words had clearly piqued Mingyue's interest.

I believe that the next time I travel through time, I will be able to see the living moon twenty years from now.

"After all, I'm not a rich guy, so I don't understand the thoughts of rich guys in many things, and the characters I write always have limitations."

Xu Nuo patted Mingyue on the shoulder approvingly, his tone as if he had done her a great favor.

"Of course, Lao Da. You can ask me anytime if something like this happens in the future."

The chubby boy, unsuspecting, patted his chest confidently.

When the two went out, Wu Tian also showed up.

They were sitting next to Lin Xiaoxiao, chatting idly.

"Why are you here too?"

"What?! I'm an alliance leader too, okay?"

Wu Tian said angrily, "You're really not being fair. You didn't even bother to tell me about something so fun in a private message."

He's been incredibly busy lately and hasn't checked the group messages for days.

If Lin Xiaoxiao hadn't told him, he wouldn't have even known about the group gathering.

Lin Xiaoxiao remained silent, simply burying her head in the sand.

He acted as if this had nothing to do with him.

It made them all laugh.

"Alright, dinner will be served soon."

Xu Nuo changed the subject and glanced at Wu Tian.

He still couldn't figure out his good brother's stance.

Although I still trust them subjectively, I've unknowingly drifted apart from them.

This has nothing to do with Xu Nuo's character, but it's far too important for him to be wary.

As a result, he is now actually quite conflicted about Wu Tian.

"well……"

He sighed silently to himself.

I just hope we can break through the market quickly, find out the truth, and clear Wu Tian's name.

This guy is clearly the one who should be trusted the most, yet there are so many things he can't even tell Wu Tian.

This feeling is just too awful.

Soon, the banquet began.

Mingyue really spent a lot of money this time.

Not only did they book the entire hotel, but they also paid great attention to the food.

Looking at the bottles of Fen 20 on the table, Xu Nuo smacked his lips, feeling a bit tempted.

What can dispel sorrow? Only wine.

He's under so much pressure, he really needs to drink some alcohol to calm down.

Raise your glass and drink it all in one gulp.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, but in the end, the conversation all came back to the plot.

The reason why people from all over the country gathered together is ultimately because they like this book.

What could be more delightful than having shared interests when making friends?

Once they were in the mood, even Lin Xiaoxiao secretly had a drink.

The result is like a kitten that has secretly drunk sparkling water, hiding alone and sticking out its tongue from the spiciness.

Xu Nuo handed over a bottle of juice, and Lin Xiaoxiao thanked him and gulped down half of it.

"Is it fun?"

Xu Nuo leaned closer and whispered, his breath, mixed with the smell of alcohol, tickling Lin Xiaoxiao's ear as he spoke.

"It's fun."

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, staring blankly at Xu Nuo beside her.

I drank too fast and I'm obviously a little tipsy.

Wu Tian saw this and looked at his brother with a look of relief, as if saying, "My child has finally grown up."

"If you can't drink, then don't drink. Just chat more."

"Mmm-hmm-hmm."

Xu Nuo would never do something as despicable as forcing someone to drink and taking advantage of them in their vulnerable state. In fact, if Lin Xiaoxiao hadn't acted so quickly, he would have stopped her from drinking that cup.

at this point.

He looked at Lin Xiaoxiao and could only say that it was fate.
