Chapter 5: The White Lotus

There is a large floor-to-ceiling mirror in the bathroom, which allows the person looking in the mirror to see every corner of the body clearly.

[Bai Ruolian's fair and tender skin seems to be glowing slightly under the sunlight, and the whole person is transparent as if flying in the air, brilliant and dazzling foam that will break when touched, making people just want to hold her in the palm of her hand and carefully protect it. 】

Standing in front of the mirror, Bai Ruolian listened expressionlessly to the disgusted voice of 622 in her head:

[Look at you now, the acne on that face is unappetizing, do you still expect the male partners to fall in love with you at first sight, goodbye? ] No matter how hinted at the will of the world, it can't make them blind directly! 】

[You are the heroine, how can the heroine not be beautiful? ] Even if there are really those who are not beautiful, they must have an excellent temperament, so that people can notice them from the crowd at a glance, this is the protagonist! 】

I really want to pull this thing out of my head and press it on the ground and beat it! Taking a deep breath to suppress the irritability in her heart, Bai Ruolian, who hadn't wanted to hit someone so much for a long time, closed her eyes slightly, and then slowly spoke:

"Don't worry, these acne will go away in less than a month, and it will definitely not delay the development of the plot."

[Okay.] 622 reluctantly stopped his mouth: [It's not that I have to hit you like this, it's just that you don't have the appearance of a protagonist. 】

"Hmph, I'm so sorry." Bai Ruolian grinned in the mirror without smiling: "Before you came, I didn't know that I still had the identity of such a tragic heroine. ”

As soon as 622 mentioned this, his heart was empty, it laughed twice, and hurriedly changed the topic: [But it's okay, my White Lotus cultivation system is not in vain, there are still more than two months before the plot starts, I guarantee that you will definitely be able to become a perfect White Lotus by then. 】

I didn't think it before, but now the more I hear this, the more I feel like a curse, Bai Ruolian put down the corners of her mouth, turned around and walked out of the bathroom.

However, after more than ten hours, when she opened the door again, Bai Ruolian actually had a sense of unreality as if she was in a different world.

"Xiaolian, have you slept enough?" Nangong Jin's voice came from downstairs: "Don't stand on the stairs, hurry down and have lunch." ”

His tone was gentle, and he looked up with some concern: "I knew that you must have been tired for your birthday yesterday, so I told the maid not to disturb you, but only this once, breakfast still has to be eaten every day." ”

Bai Ruolian agreed, walked down the stairs and stood in front of Nangong Jin - the man in front of him smiled, half-leaning on the sofa with a lazy appearance.

A proud son like him, life has always been smooth sailing, and nothing seems to be able to crush him, but Bai Ruolian's mind involuntarily flashed the embarrassing picture of him lying on the floor in despair, covering his face and crying bitterly after getting drunk.

She was in a trance, and she almost crashed into the sofa, but fortunately, Nangong Jin quickly helped her, otherwise she would definitely fall.

"Xiaolian, haven't you woken up yet?" Helping her sit down on the sofa, Nangong Jin smiled.

Bai Ruolian came to her senses, nodded vaguely, and then looked around: "What about them, big brother?" ”

"My eldest brother and father both went to the company, and Aunt He was worried that they wouldn't be able to eat well, so she also followed."

Nangong Jin paused, and then said: "I have to leave in the afternoon, if you have anything to do at home alone, you can tell the servant, don't stay in the house all the time, go out to play when you should go out, young people just need to be active." ”

Hearing that Nangong Jin was leaving, the plot that came into her mind last night instantly skipped Bai Ruolian's mind, and she keenly noticed that something was wrong, so she asked half-jokingly and half-tentatively:

"The second brother has just been home for a day and is leaving, so he should be in a hurry to go out on a date, right? Looks like I'm going to take it home this time. ”

Unexpectedly, Nangong Jin, who had always been noncommittal about this matter, actually smiled and rubbed Bai Ruolian's hair: "Will you bring back a sister-in-law when the time comes?" ”

Bai Ruolian's heart sank, but she still had a smile on her face: "Of course it's okay, many people like me, it's too late for me to be happy, and Uncle Nangong of the province is always talking about you." ”

After having lunch with Bai Ruolian, Nangong Jin hurriedly drove away.

"According to the plot of the novel, the second brother is the second male partner, and he is also one of the male partners who likes me, right?" Bai Ruolian stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and watched Nangong Jin's white car drive out of the manor: "Then what if he already has someone he likes?" ”

[What can I do, isn't it just a breakup!] There was obvious disapproval in 622's voice, if it was a person, now I am afraid Bai Ruolian would be able to see its two hands outstretched: [Since boyfriends like others, why don't you break up? Do you keep your diaphragm for yourself? 】

"But ......" but the appearance of the second brother is obviously very affectionate, if there is no accident, I am afraid that I will take someone home in a month and talk about marriage, right?

"The will of the world is so powerful that it can make a person who has a heart in love empathize with him in an instant?"

[It's not as good as an instant, but it's subtle, and it should be about the same in a month or two.] In fact, if you want me to say, it's not normal for people like you to be unaffected at all, okay? 622 shouted in Bai Ruolian's mind: [After the big deal, you can help your brother chase people back. 】

[The most important thing now is that you have to turn yourself into a white lotus!] 】

"What's the change, isn't it just reading the lines of the novel and doing the action." Bai Ruolian turned around and slowly climbed the steps back to her room.

[Host, I'm afraid you don't have any misunderstanding about yourself? 622's shock was extreme: [Although I have only been in contact with you for a few hours, I can also see that your personality is fundamentally different from Bai Ruolian in the novel. 】

[Do you really think of yourself as an actor and can play every scene perfectly?] 622's complaint was extremely sharp, and it hit Bai Ruolian's death hole at once: [Don't say anything else, I'll ask you, do you cry? Do you know how to cry to cry to be beautiful and pitiful? 】

Even if Bai Ruolian had not shed a single tear even if she had been cut in the face with a knife, she suddenly felt that her knees were full of arrows, and she tried to struggle to get up: "...... Isn't it just crying? What's so hard! I'll be able to give you a cry right now! ”

She took a deep breath and began to recall the tragic movies she had seen in the past, then slowly closed her eyes and tried to brew emotions.

A minute passed.

Ten minutes passed.

Half an hour passed.

622 waited patiently for tears to slip from the corners of his host's eyes, and even thought that he must remember this historic scene in his heartβ€”until it heard the sound of long breathingβ€”Bai Ruolian, who had not slept well all night yesterday, really did not survive the sleepiness after the meal and fell asleep.

【......】Why do you suddenly feel that the future is bleak, should you be destroyed by the world with the host as soon as you take office?

622 looked at Bai Ruolian, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and the entire system fell into deep self-doubt.
