"After the app is officially launched, I will delete all the pornographic comics on Gongsun Ce's phone."
"You weren't such a cruel kid before, were you?!"
And why make threats based on the existence of the notebook in the mobile phone.
Does Mr. Gongsun look like such a strange otaku?
Qiluo on the other side of the phone hummed angrily a few times before making suggestions despite his repeated begging.
"Qin Qianbai likes one-piece swimsuits." (Great Reading)
The gray-haired young man seriously considered the feasibility of his friend's suggestion. Use experience and imagination to mobilize the brain's simulation function and build a small theater in your mind like a sitcom. In his mind, Gongsun Ce approached him with a one-piece swimsuit, and then...
No matter what kind of speech he makes, he can only see his future being bombarded by Qin's secret biography.
The future is locked. If we simulate this event as a premise, we will lead to a world line of destruction no matter what.
"I don't know if the eldest lady likes this, but I know she will be beaten badly if I give this to her."
A pretendingly leisurely singing voice came from the other end of the phone.
"?~"
"Humming a song and pretending not to hear it?! Are you a funny character from the comics of the last century?"
"I~can't hear you?~"
You also sang Hey.
Gongsun Ce sighed: "Why did you suddenly become angry when you were fine at first? What did I do, Mr. Gongsun?"
"Hmph! I thought Gongsun Ce wanted to buy me clothes."
...?
The gray-haired young man carefully considered the previous conversation between the two.
He clasped his hands on the phone and said, "...I'm sorry, it's my problem!"
Qiluo sighed louder than him.
"Sigh. Gongsun Ce is often called a fool by Qin Qianbai."
"How could it be? When you can't see it, the eldest lady often expresses her admiration for my wisdom."
Qiluo exclaimed: "——Ah?!"
"Do you think, Mr. Gongsun and I are the ones who usually come up with ideas when encountering situations? And she also lacks common sense in some aspects. At this time, I am always the one to teach her. So the eldest lady always tells me in private: Gongsun Ce is so awesome, thank you...that's it."
So the word is always true before.
The pink-haired girl was extremely shocked and said: "Yuan, so it's like this..."
"No, I lied to you."
"It's a lie!"
Qin Qianbai's lies in recent times have always been easily seen through, and today he finally found some satisfaction.
Having said that, Qi Luo, an innocent child, is simply the most gullible type. Gongsun Ce secretly made up his mind that in order to prevent her from being deceived by bad people, he would tell more lies to train her abilities...after solving the problem at hand.
"I'm sorry Qiluo! I really didn't mean to cause misunderstanding. I will buy you a gift as an apology. So please, give me some serious advice."
"Uh-huh, what a man who shamelessly comes to ask for advice after lying to others." Qiluodu muttered, "The serious advice is that Gongsun Ce just choose something that he thinks is suitable. Don't play pranks, you have to ask for advice." Choose carefully.”
…………………………?
Strangely, he clearly remembered that his question was "What kind of clothes does Qin Qianbai like?" It was impossible for Qiluo to remember it wrong, but how could she give such a suggestion that didn't answer the question? Qiluo is a straight-tempered girl. She will not deliberately hold a grudge because of this little misunderstanding. So what is the reason... Could it be? !
Gongsun Ce said tremblingly: "Qiluo, have you been bribed by the eldest lady a long time ago?!"
The only possibility I can think of is this. Like Caldesia who was making plans behind the scenes, Qiluo also joined the terrifying Alliance of Framers in advance!
"I don't want to talk to idiots anymore." (BangRead)
"I'm very sorry that I thought too much."
"Alas alas, Qin Qianbai must be angry often..." Qiluo emphasized again: "Gongsun Ce just do as I say and don't think too much about it! Remember to buy me a gift, bye."
The pink-haired girl grabbed the phone, leaving Gongsun Ce puzzled.
He sat on the toilet seat and thought for a while, feeling that Qiluo would not go out of his way to harm him. He guessed that this suggestion was mostly based on logic that only girls understand. As a normal male, it was understandable that he couldn't understand it.
The eldest lady will definitely become suspicious if he spends any more time, and he must get out as soon as possible. In order to enhance the sense of reality, he washed his hands before coming out of the bathroom.
Qin Qianbai was waiting for him not far away.
"Ace spent more time in the bathroom than I thought."
"Sorry for the waitting……"
Gongsun Ce laughed twice and suddenly remembered that he had promised to buy gifts for his friends.
...But he forgot to ask Qiluo what he wanted.
"Gah!"
He could somewhat understand the mood of Chen Bao in the restaurant. It turns out that people really know how to scream when they are caught off guard.
Qin Qianbai clapped his hands twice.
"What a realistic duck call, but even with this performance, I will not take back the order."
"You have to believe me, Mr. Gongsun, how could I run away from the battle?" Gongsun Ce pushed up his glasses and said with some embarrassment: "But... I just found that I encountered some unexpected difficulties. I estimate that with my own strength The kind that is difficult to overcome. Can you please give me some help, Miss?"
Miss Qin raised her head and said, "Look, this is a surprised expression. What does A Ce want to ask?"
This time, Gongsun Ce fully learned the lesson from his phone call with Qiluo.
Talking too much can easily lead to misunderstandings. At this time, you need to state your needs concisely and concisely.
The gray-haired young man spoke in a calm tone that would never cause misunderstanding.
"Do you know what kind of gift Qiluo would like?"
·
ten minutes later.
Gongsun Ce rubbed his sore abdomen and walked through the clothes racks with a grimace.
He estimated that his friend's anger had almost dissipated, and asked cautiously: "Dear young lady? Could you condescend to tell your humble servant why you are angry?"
"Why? Ah Ce, who prides himself on being smart, should think about it for himself."
Qin Qianbai sat on the chair in the clothing store with her back to him, a terrible sense of oppression emanating from her side.
It was as if a master who had retired to the mountains many years ago had been awakened to murderous intentions. Anyone who was near her would have the illusion of being struck by a sharp blade. The human survival instinct was constantly issuing deafening warnings!
The female high school students who were choosing clothes on the side whispered: "We had a quarrel..." "We definitely had a quarrel." "Shh, please don't gossip about private matters between lovers."
No, the eldest lady can hear you. She is already angry. When she hears you use the term "couple", she will only become angrier and angrier!
Gongsun Ce realized that he had to do something, not only for himself but also for the sake of innocent passers-by. He picked a pink woolen sweater and a matching pale yellow jacket, stepped forward despite the pressure, and said with a smile on his face: "Miss, look at this suit..."
"I do not like."
You didn’t even look at it! Are you deliberately looking for trouble? !
Gongsun Ce almost became angry, but he tried his best to suppress his urge to show his filial piety. A man who gets angry at a friend who has been through life and death because of such a trivial matter is undoubtedly the trash among the trash.
Be patient, be patient, don’t let yourself look like an impolite gangster... tolerate women’s occasional unreasonable behavior... Mature men should solve problems in a decent way, instead of yelling like a child... … He rubbed his hair vigorously, thinking about ways to break the situation.
Qiluo thinks that he only needs to carefully choose suitable clothes. If the eldest lady is not angry, this should be the correct answer. Then, the problem changes from "how to choose clothes she likes" to "how to make her see my sincerity."
…This is actually not difficult to solve, is it?
Gongsun Ce made up his mind. He studied the floor-standing clothes rack for a long time and chose a new set of clothes: a black long-sleeved plaid shirt and a lantern skirt with purple patterns. Both have lovely white lace, which he thinks looks very girly.
It would look extremely out of place on Shigurei, but it should be suitable for Qin Qianbai.
"Miss, what do you think of this set?"
"I do not like."
Again he denied it without even looking at it, but this time Gongsun Ce had already thought of a way to crack it.
He walked forward despite the invisible pressure and stood in front of the girl, deliberately looking depressed.
"This won't work either. Sorry, sorry, I just thought you would be cute when you put it on, but I ignored the conditions. Wait a minute, I'll find something else -"
Qin Qianbai looked up at him.
"……Wait a moment."
good! There's drama!
Gongsun Ce suppressed his joy and pretended to be confused and asked, "What's wrong?"
"What do you think of this suit of clothes?"
"I really think it's quite cute. It should look good when you put it on... But if you don't want to try it, I can't verify my guess." He said sincerely, "I can't use white matter to simulate a dressing doll, right? It’s so rude.”
The invisible pressure weakened, and Miss Qin raised her hand to take the clothes: "Then, I'll put it on and try it on."
Gongsun Ce silently wiped the sweat from his head, thinking that this hand should be stable. The comments from the female high school students came from the side: "You have such a good temper." "I'm actually forgiven now..." "It must be the first time you fall in love."
What a ghost. Mr. Gongsun, I have been punched several times today.
How could he easily promise to take care of her at that time... Asking for trouble is really an appropriate way to describe himself. Looking back on the past, Gongsun Ce couldn't help but lament his past immaturity.
A few minutes later, just when Gongsun Ce came back to his senses from the past and was about to take out his pocket watch to check the time, the expressionless girl finally walked out of the fitting room.
"How about it?"
·
When he was in Superbia three years ago, Gongsun Ce went to the Morton Royal Museum once. Three hundred years ago, navigation technology entered a mature era, and Morton's merchants went to sea with fleets to travel around the world. They offered treasures to the noble royal family in exchange for fame and status that money could not buy. These rare objects from all over the world have been played by royal families in the past, and in modern times, they have all been generously sent to the magnificent museum.
He was following the Dawn Knight in the building converted from an old castle. He tried his best to put on a disdainful expression on his face, trying to show that I am well-informed and don't care about your junk. In fact, his eyes looking around revealed the surprise and admiration in his heart. He stared at the huge murals that occupied the dome, the armor of nobles with complex patterns, the exquisite bones of the ancient tribes of Ustus, and the jade and bronzes from the empire... all of which were captured since childhood. He had never seen or even heard of anything in the sky before.
Among them, what impressed him most were the dolls made by Morton craftsmen with skillful hands. The dolls have body proportions similar to those of ordinary people and wear faded classical costumes. They stand motionless in the glass cabinets, looking at the tourists passing by outside the glass with expressionless and beautiful faces. With unreal softness, it fully embodies the identity of man-made objects.
Like the tourists, he was also attracted by the beauty of the dolls and stopped.
He involuntarily took a step back because he felt that the artificial objects looked like real people... as if they would step out of the glass cabinet the next moment, disguise themselves as beautiful noble daughters, and blend into the crowd of tourists.
Gongsun Ce still remembers the nonsense he said at that time.
"Miss Knight, do you sell the dolls here?"
"Mr. Gongsun, sometimes asking questions knowingly will not make you appear humorous, it will only make others feel stupid."
He didn't really want to buy it. He knew that even if he did sell it, he wouldn't be able to pay the money. He just asked with unrealistic hope... because he knew that it would probably be difficult for him to do it a second time in his life, and he would never see such beautiful things again in the future.
·
Now the dolls have really come out of the glass cabinet, wearing similar clothes, looking even more beautiful than their companions in memory.
She stretched out her hands and spun around in a circle. The lace on her skirt rose up like an umbrella canopy rotating in the rain.
The gray-haired young man raised his hand unconsciously, and his fingertips passed through the glass cabinet in his memories and touched the cheek that really existed in reality.
The girl's lips opened and closed slightly.
"How about it?"
The dolls in the museum cannot speak. This sense of dissonance awakened Gongsun Ce from his memories, causing him to withdraw his hand as if he was electrocuted.
"Feel sorry!"
Only then did the gray-haired young man realize what he had just done.
"Sorry, I really didn't mean it. I..." He didn't know how to defend himself, so he could only look away awkwardly, "I think it's beautiful, really."
The eldest lady nodded and said, "It's rare for Ace to look so embarrassed. I believe it's the truth."
"No way, my expression just now was exaggerated!"
This conversation brought him completely back to reality. He was in the Sky Capital, not in Superbia. The person talking to him was not an inanimate doll, but Qin Qianbai, who was still angry a few minutes ago.
Is she still angry now? Gongsun Ce cleared his throat and said, "What do you think of this...?"
"To be honest, it's not my type."
Sure enough, it is impossible to muddle through so easily.
"However." The girl changed the topic, "According to Ace's standards, his performance is considered to be above the standard. I can barely pass it by you."
"Thank you for your generous gesture..."
This relaxed mood disappeared without a trace when I saw the bill.
What kind of fool is this that just looks good and forgets to look at the price? It turns out to be me!
Out of inexplicable dignity, Gongsun Ce paid the bill pretending to be Yun Danfengqing. He secretly swore in his heart that next time he would look at the price before helping someone choose clothes.
If possible, look at the price first.
·
The order to choose clothes was finally completed, and the task of carrying the bag was naturally handed over to the gray-haired man with glasses. Gongsun Ce planned to secretly buy Qiluo something like a stuffed doll as a gift after today. Now he was waiting eagerly for the eldest lady to announce that the torture was over.
"Miss Qin, you don't really plan to boss me around all day, do you?" He said tentatively, "Can you at least let me sleep at night?"
"I'm curious about what Aze imagined I would order you to do at night."
Gongsun Ce said in horror: "Are you really going to let me go out in the middle of the night and squat on the roof to play werewolf?!"
The eldest lady looked at him speechlessly for a while.
"I have confirmed that there is a real problem with Ace's thinking circuit in some aspects."
"Hiss... are you planning to let me run naked?!"
"This is an order. You are not allowed to speak for the time being."
Gongsun Ce closed his mouth uneasily. The more he imagined it, the more terrifying he felt.
He followed the girl out of the Ji Anding Building. The afternoon sunshine fell on them, driving away the air conditioning in the mall and bringing a warm feeling. Gongsun Ce saw several temporary tents set up in the square in front of the building. Many students dressed in casual clothes were holding hand-painted wooden signs and enthusiastically distributing leaflets to passers-by.
He was sure that these guys were not there when he arrived after dinner. It seemed that some event was held here while the two were picking out clothes.
"..."
Gongsun Ce squinted his eyes. Among the members handing out leaflets, he recognized a few acquaintances he had met in the past, and thus confirmed what was happening here.
Qin Qianbai asked: "Ace, what are they doing?"
Gongsun Ce wrote in Bai Zhi: [The association recruits new people. 】
The white writing was only halfway through, when a young man handing out flyers walked over to the two of them. About 1/2 of this man's head is replaced with metal, which makes his appearance full of recognition.
Metal Head waved the flyer in his hand enthusiastically: "Hi friends over there! Are you interested in learning about the Superpowers Mutual Aid Association - Oh!"
He saw the gray-haired young man's face mid-sentence, and the metal head's tone immediately became serious.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Gongsun. Are you interested in learning about the Superpower Mutual Aid Association?"
Gongsun Ce twitched the corner of his mouth and wrote in white: [Good afternoon, William from the Mutual Aid Association. Are you really here to ask me? 】
"My Healing Game"
The metal head named William said sternly: "You know, we have to try to ask. Maybe one day you will agree to join, and it will be a huge profit." He looked at Qin Qianbai again: "You Are you interested in our little club, Miss Qin Qianbai?"
