I already said this is not a life simulator!

Xiwang held his forehead with his hand helplessly... Although this development was somewhat strange and subtle, Xiwang unexpectedly felt that it was not bad, and even had a feeling that he could accept it as a matter of course... It was really weird.

It couldn’t be that they were lovers in their previous life, and now that they meet in this reincarnation they fall in love at first sight... No way, no way?

...hiss...no way?

Xiwang carefully recalled his previous encounter with Ying, thinking that it was clearly the first time they met, but their eyes unexpectedly fell on each other at the first moment, plus the subsequent smooth and unusually pleasant communication... This possibility... does not seem to be impossible?

Xi Wang's expression looked strange.

But soon, Xiwang's thoughts were interrupted because... a lighter voice broke in.

"Wow~ Is there anyone with hair color similar to mine? That makes me happy~?"

Ying subconsciously held Xiwang's hand tightly and pulled him back, as if she was worried that someone would snatch him away... Well, at least that's what it looked like to outsiders.

"Don't worry, don't be nervous. I won't fight with you for it. I won't do anything that would be annoying, okay?"

A girl with pink hair similar to Sakura's lightly skipped in front of you, blinking before looking at the tickets in your hands.

"I just saw a cute girl with a similar hair color to mine, so I wanted to meet her~"

"Hmm... Let me introduce myself first~ My name is Alicia, are you guys here to watch the show too?"

The girl named Alicia asked as she took out a ticket from her pocket and showed it to Xiwang and the other two to prove that she was also here to see the show and was just an ordinary audience member.

"nature."

Xi Wang gestured at the two tickets in his hand, then moved slightly and walked out of Ying's protection. He pinched her palm to indicate that there was no need to be alert.

Ying also nodded subtly as if she understood, and relaxed a little... then she was stunned again, wondering why she understood what Xiwang wanted to express so quickly.

"Wow, you two came together, how nice!"

Alicia first looked at Xiwang, with a hint of doubt in her eyes. Then she looked at the two people holding hands, smiled, and stepped back a few steps lightly to make room for the two people.

"I'm sorry to disturb your private time~ Uh-huh~ The show is about to start, please hurry up~?"

As Alicia said this, she turned around and walked forward first.

"...Let's go, or we'll be late."

Xiwang waited until Ai Lishiya walked away before he withdrew his strange gaze, gently pulled Ying's hand, and walked forward.

"Um……"

"And... Sakura, can you please relax a little? I can still hold on, but it still hurts a little..."

"Ah, I'm sorry..."

Ying was stunned for a moment, then loosened her hand... Just now when Alicia set her eyes on Xi Wang, she always had an inexplicable feeling, as if Xi Wang would leave at any time... So she subconsciously used a little more force.

Now that she realized what was happening, she quickly let go of her hand...but Xi Wang didn't let go.

"I'm just saying, just relax a little... Actually, you don't have to let go."

"Ah this..."

"Well... these are all orders from the [family head], right?"

"……Yep."

Sakura nodded and took his hand again.

Somehow, Sakura felt happy.

…………

"really weird……"

Alicia, who was walking in front of the two, tilted her head, feeling confused about what she had just done.

"Why do I feel familiar when I see him..."

"and……"

Raise your hand and place it gently on your chest.

"I feel a little sad...what's going on?"

"Do I...know him?"

Alicia was a little confused.

But soon, Alicia put aside these doubts and focused her attention on the performance that was about to begin.

On the other side, Xiwang and Ying also took their seats.

…………

As the applause rang out, the curtain on the stage was opened.

A small hat slowly fell from above the stage, and it seemed to be pulled by some thin and invisible thread, floating back and forth above the stage. The audience's eyes were also attracted by the hat, and they watched it slowly fall to the ground, and then...

Bang!

Accompanied by timely special effects sound, Weiwei's figure seemed to suddenly appear from under the hat, and she appeared abruptly in the center of the stage with the hat raised.

"Welcome everyone to my stage!"

Wei Wei's confident voice echoed in everyone's ears. Many people were still shocked by her appearance, but Wei Wei didn't care so much... The way she just appeared was just her most common one, and it was enough to start the show with this method to arouse the audience's interest.

"Are you satisfied with the little performance just now?"

Leaning forward slightly, she put her top hat on her head, and with a smile on her face, Vivi spoke softly.

"Please don't worry. Everything that just happened was just a common performance here. What's coming next... is a more exciting moment..."

At this point, Wei Erwei's voice paused slightly, and the tone that was supposed to be rising also dropped a little strangely... and even carried a trace of imperceptible panic.

If she had to ask why... it was because she saw Xi Wang smiling at her in the audience, but there was no smile in his eyes...

But I caught you, didn't I? Vivi - he seemed to be saying.

The sudden change made Wei Erwei not notice Ying beside Xi Wang. The only thing she could think of at this moment was - Oh no, it's over.

But even so, the performance must go on. She has already gone on stage and there is no reason to just leave... That would be irresponsible to herself and would disappoint the audience, and would make Xi Wang disappointed in her.

So... look! I am different now! —— Wei Wei raised her lips slightly and continued her opening remarks with confident words.

"Everyone, please bear witness. Everything that is about to happen... will overturn your [common sense]. When that happens... please don't be stingy with your exclamations and applause!"

Immediately, he no longer kept his eyes on Xi Wang, but focused on his next performance.

But as more and more magic tricks were performed and the show got closer to the final "main act", Weiwei became more and more nervous...for no other reason, it was just that the magic tricks she performed would look more and more dangerous as time went on.

Although Weiwei is very confident in the magic she has studied, considering the performance effect, she occasionally has to show some... uh... dangerous situations during the performance in order to mobilize the emotions of the audience.

So Weiwei could already imagine what she would face next...

"Now it's all right, isn't it?"

During the half-time break, when the last [main act] was about to begin, Weiwei was talking to herself.

"If Xiwang comes here and sees something so dangerous...it will be terrible~"

"I told you not to joke with him before, but he didn't listen. Now you're done for, right?"

"You did that... Who told you to talk to him in that tone?"

"Look at what you said. Aren't we all the same? We all think the same, so that's why I said that."

"Well, now the joke has gone too far, and I'm going to get my comeuppance."

"The Vilvi is about to be sunk..."

"........."

"Forget it, let's just finish the last magic show first, and we'll see what happens next."

After a brief silence, Weiwei said to herself again.

“Ah… I feel like things are going to be terrible, like I’m going to be doomed…”

But in the end, she couldn't hold it anymore and could only barely adjust her expression before going on stage.

…………

"Um...Xiwang, are you okay?"

"Me? I'm fine, what's wrong with me?"

Xiwang responded with a smile.

"But……"

"I just found a little guy who needs to be disciplined... He is really disobedient."

"Uh……"

Ying sensed the dangerous aura coming from Xi Wang and wisely kept her mouth shut. At the same time, she felt a little doubtful about the arrangement made by the [Patriarch]... Did Xi Wang really need her protection? Why did she feel that when he got ruthless, he was much more dangerous than herself?

And everything that happened next increased Xi Wang’s anger level even more.

The audience watched as Weiliwei entered a water tank suspended above the stage. It looked like she was going to perform a magic trick called "Escape from the Water Tank." Then... maybe due to an operational error, the crane broke down.

The whole "accident" process was full of thrills, and the audience expressed their heartfelt concerns about Wei Erwei's condition...except Xi Wang.

Then everyone watched as the water tank containing Wei Wei fell onto the stage, the container broke, and the water covered the entire stage... The sudden "accident" stunned the audience... except Xi Wang.

When Weiwei’s voice came from above the back of the audience... when Weiwei slipped and fell from the air again, perhaps because her body was covered in water... when Weiwei’s falling figure turned into flying ribbons in the air... when Weiwei reappeared in the center of the stage, standing on a complete container filled with water... the audience gave their own reactions, and in the end, they gave their amazement and applause for this farewell performance.

Except...Xiwang.

Ying, who was standing beside him, could only feel that the aura emanating from Xiwang was becoming more and more dangerous, and could only know that he was getting more and more angry.

It was not until Wei Erwei uttered her farewell speech and the stage curtain slowly fell, indicating that the performance was over, that Xi Wang stood up, with a cold breath, and walked silently towards the backstage.

"Uh...I'll wait for you outside?"

Ying hesitated for a while when she came to the door of the preparation room before she said this... She always felt that the next situation was not suitable for her to see...

"Good work."

Xi Wang nodded, then opened the door, walked into the room, and closed the door.

"Where do you want to go, Vivi?"

Xi Wang narrowed his eyes, looked at Wei Erwei who was packing up her things to drill into the vent, and spoke slowly.

"Uh……"

"I'm here to thank you, Wei Erwei. Even though you haven't sponsored me yet and I haven't graduated yet, I'm here to repay you...Are you happy?"

"that……"

"We've met after a long time, don't you have anything to say?"

"a ha ha ha……"

Under Xiwang's gaze, Wei Erwei slowly returned to the ground, gently put her belongings aside, her eyes wandering and she laughed.

"Um...long time no see...brother..."

"Ok?"

"Oh, sorry...Xiwang..."

Weiwei's tone weakened a bit.

"Um... I saw that pink-haired girl sitting next to you... She was very close to you, Xiwang~ What's going on? Is she your girlfriend? Oh~ She's pretty, but I still want to check on her. After all, I can't let you be deceived by some bad woman out there..."

"Hmm? Anything else?"

"And... and... I've actually gotten better at cooking, huh? I can take care of myself now, and the food I cook is definitely better than yours. I'll let you taste it later!"

"Well, then?"

"Then...then...uh..."

"Don't you have anything to say about magic, especially the last few?"

"Well...don't worry...I...am very confident in myself and will definitely not make mistakes. Although I got a little injured during the previous experiment, it's no big deal. I handled it myself..."

"Before...experiments?"

Xiwang narrowed his eyes.

"Small injury?"
