Tang Yu was taken aback by the hostess' overreaction, and he stood on the spot at a loss: "I'm very sorry... I didn't know you hated paradise fish... I bought it without authorization."
He took all the responsibility on himself and helped Chi Nan to completely put it aside. Chi Nan just wanted to speak, but he hurriedly winked and shook his head.
After all, from a character point of view, the key to gaining favorability is Chi Nan, and he must fully cooperate with his companions.
The maid hurriedly brought out a special utensil, squatted down and hurriedly cleaned up all the paradise fish on the carpet.
When she passed by Chi Nan and the others, she reminded in a low voice, "Mrs. hates such green-eyed creatures, remember."
Chi Nan's eyelids jumped suddenly.
The hostess held her chest and panted for a while before she recovered. She waved at Tang Yu with a pale face and said, "You didn't mean to, this kind of unfortunate fish is sold all over the street in this ghost place."
But the acting class system clearly reminded that the green-eyed paradise fish is an important prop to enhance the relationship between the protagonist and his relatives. Why is the effect counterproductive
Did they confuse the steps? Or will the system lie to students
Chi Nan thought for a moment and felt that either possibility was very small, but for the time being there was no way to draw a better inference.
Just as the two were confused, the female teacher's voice sounded from the system—
[Congratulations to students Chi Nan and Tang Yu for their 'sorrow' theme performance, gaining 5 favorability points. ]
Chi Nan: "..." It seems that the system is not deceiving.
Tang Yu: "???" Isn't the hostess frightened? Why did the favorability level increase
At this moment, the hostess poured himself a glass of strong wine, fell on the sofa and took two sips to calm down.
"Nannan, come and sit with mother for a while."
Chi Nan Yiyan sat beside her, but was speechless.
For him, mother is an incomprehensible concept, and he met Bai Yingzhi and Ruirui's mother in the copy, and the contrast between the two mothers made him very confused.
How to get along with his mother and even enhance his relationship is his knowledge blind spot.
This script didn't give any lines. He was worried that he would say the wrong thing as soon as he opened his mouth, which would not be beneficial to the task of enhancing feelings, so he just sat quietly and observed the layout of the entire room.
The whole-floor apartment is a standard three-bedroom, two-hall layout, with three bedrooms on the west, and the dining room and kitchen on the east.
There seemed to be no air conditioning in the apartment, huge ceiling fans whirled overhead, and a large freezer in the center of the living room rumbled its starter.
After the little episode just now, the apartment instantly returned to an eerie silence.
"Later, I'll take you to see Dad." The hostess drank the wine in the glass.
Chi Nan wondered: "Dad didn't already..."
The hostess was stunned, but after a while, she showed a consoling smile: "Don't worry, his soul will always protect this family, me and you, and will not leave easily."
Tang Yu and Chi Nan glanced at each other, and they were sure that the hostess was mentally abnormal.
"In the past few days before the burial, your father will still be staying at home for the time being, and you can have a good chat with your father and son when you have time."
The hostess stood up and walked towards the freezer, "Come on, I haven't been home for eleven years, come and say hello to Dad."
She pushed open the freezer door with her well-maintained hand, moving slowly as if displaying her favorite artwork.
Tang Yu already had a hunch in his heart, but when he saw the blackened male corpse lying in the freezer, he still couldn't help turning around with a 'vomit'. He hurriedly covered his mouth to prevent himself from expressing his nausea.
As a 'girlfriend', he couldn't make the hostess disgust him.
Chi Nan fixedly looked at the body of the male owner in the refrigerator, because it was frozen in time, and there were still no obvious corpse spots after four days of death.
The black-haired body was covered with a thin layer of hoarfrost, there were obvious stitch marks on the neck, and the body that should have been contaminated with blood was scrubbed clean.
His head should have been stitched up after death.
"What happened to Dad?" Chi Nan asked the hostess, the system only provided a rough background, without specifying the cause of death.
She sighed heavily, turned and pointed to the top of the sofa where they were sitting just now, the old ceiling fan was still whirring: "Your father was lying on the sofa reading a newspaper, the ceiling fan suddenly loosened and fell, and the high-speed rotating fan Ye happened to hit him on the neck, chopped off his head, and died on the spot."
Tang Yu's face turned even paler after hearing this. He had made up countless times about the story of the ceiling fan smashing down and cutting his head, but he never thought that someone would actually die because of this...
Chi Nan calmly looked at the ceiling fan that was still working, and the hostess added, "Don't worry, I have already sent someone to fix it, and this kind of accident will never happen again."
"After that, Ma Chen and I spent a lot of time stitching together your father, and after we stayed at home for seven days, we would send him to be buried, hey..." She suddenly looked at Chi Nan sadly, "There will be only the two of us in this family in the future, you Just forgive mom and stay with me in Gongcheng, okay?"
After a pause, she added, "Your father's soul will protect this family."
Chi Nan knew the main purpose of the acting class, and quickly answered hello for the purpose of testing the rules.
The system responded and gave him 5 points of favorability.
He was a little surprised by being too blunt.
The hostess smiled with satisfaction, and finally closed the chilling door of the freezer: "Okay, you two are tired when you come back from the ocean. You can renovate the room and rest before dinner."
"By the way, because our house has never had any guests and there are not many rooms, Miss Tang can live in the same room with me." The hostess added.
Tang Yu's face froze instantly: "Ah... this is too presumptuous..."
No normal person wants to share a room with a mentally ill NPC.
The hostess smiled apologetically: "Miss Tang and Nannan are just boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, our family is very traditional, we must never live together before marriage, I don't want anyone to break the rules... There is still a servant's room, but let Miss Tang live The maid's house is too rude."
Tang Yu tugged at the hem of his skirt in embarrassment, looked around anxiously, and finally bit his lip and said, "But...isn't there three rooms in the house?"
The house is not big, with three bedrooms and one living room with a large garden structure. In addition to the room reserved for the young master and the master bedroom, there is also a locked bedroom on the innermost side.
The hostess looked stiff: "That room is full of debris, and it is difficult to clear it out at the moment, making it inconvenient for Miss Tang to stay."
"Leave my room to Miss Tang." Chi Nan said bluntly.
The hostess's eyes flashed with undisguised joy: "Then are you going to sleep in the same room with your mother?"
"No," Chi Nan refused without hesitation, "I'll just live in the living room."
The look in the hostess' eyes faded, and she looked at the fan and smiled coldly: "Although it has been repaired, I can guarantee that it will not fall down during the day, but it is hard to say at night. Are you sure you want to sleep on the sofa by yourself?"
Chi Nan: "OK."
The hostess immediately lowered her face, but before she had time to get angry, Chi Nan added: "You just told me to chat more with Dad, and Dad is sleeping in the living room, and I will accompany him."
This reason was so reasonable that the hostess couldn't refuse. She was stunned for a few seconds: "Okay, there's nothing you can do if you want to be like this."
Chi Nan: "Thank you."
Tang Yu looked at Chi Nan gratefully.
The hostess said to Chi Nan again: "You have been busy along the way. Mother Chen has prepared toiletries and a change of clothes. Go take a bath and relax."
The weather was too hot along the way, and Chi Nan was so cold that he was sweating all over, wishing he could take a shower right now.
But when he entered the bathroom with a change of clothes, he realized something was wrong.
The mirror on the bathroom vanity was sealed with layers of black tape, and the messy tape seemed to seal some evil spirit, with a strange sense of ritual.
Obviously, since the bathroom is equipped with a mirror, it means that the hostess has been using it all the time, and there is no dust on the tape, which was temporarily sealed before he came.
Chi Nan suddenly became interested, locked the bathroom door and began to patiently tear open the tape layer by layer, and finally wiped off the glue on the mirror with a towel.
But the mirror in front of him doesn't seem to be anything special. The mirror clearly shows Chi Nan's current appearance. He wears glasses, his eyes are pure black, and the corners of his eyes are clean and there are no moles.
Chi Nan stared at the mirror for a moment, thinking that if You Yu was still alive, it would be like this.
After all, green eyes and tear moles belong to his personal belongings, and they were never encountered by tourists.
Chi Nan took off his glasses and began to wash his face carefully, but when he rinsed off the foam on his face with hand water, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes watching his every move from top to bottom.
He made sure that he was the only one in the bathroom before the lock, and that the bathroom window was equipped with an anti-theft net, so it was impossible for anyone to climb into the house while he was washing his face.
But the feeling of these eyes is too strong, Chi Nan can even feel the heat of being burned by the eyes.
But Chi Nan didn't lose his mind. He tightened the faucet in an orderly manner, and the clatter stopped suddenly. He pulled the washcloth next to him to dry his face, and the moment he opened his eyes, the 'self' in the mirror was looking directly at him. he.
The air froze for a moment.
The self in the mirror was also wet with water on his face and front hair, but he has green eyes and two tear moles, which is the self Chi Nan is more familiar with!
what happened? Are the eyes turning green again? Or is there another self in the mirror...
Chi Nan stared at the mirror for a split second, and the mirror also stared back for a split second.
It wasn't until the green-eyed Chi Nan in the mirror slowly raised the corners of his lips, revealing a Ye Chang-like smile, that Chi Nan suddenly came back to his senses.
In the mirror is a phantom image of 229!
But why did he change into his original appearance, and the meaning of his appearance at this time is...
Chi Nan just blinked, the mirror image of the green eyes disappeared with the flutter of his eyelashes, and in the mirror he returned to the appearance of black eyes without tears.
Chi Nan touched it, and the water on his hand touched the mirror, which looked like an ordinary mirror.
But... 229 seems to monitor his performance through the mirror, or participate in the performance in another bad way, which becomes one of the important clues to the whole story.
Chi Nan couldn't make an accurate judgment for a while.
Just when he was in doubt, the system gave a prompt—
[Congratulations to the theme of 'Sorrow' for successfully triggering the condition for increasing favorability, favorability +5, and now accumulating favorability of 15 points. ]
Favorability +5? But what has he done? It's just a mirror...
Rather than guessing without a clue, Chi Nan decided to take a hot bath to get rid of the accumulated fatigue.
But when he took off his shirt, he found new strange changes on his body.
There is a deep and long scar on his left shoulder, roughly from the bottom of the neck to the shoulder, and the neat 'centipede feet' are obviously suture marks, as if a major operation had been done on the shoulder.
Because of the age, the new pink flesh filled the stitched scars, slightly bulging on the porcelain white skin.
The conspicuous old scar on the shoulder reminded Chi Nan unconsciously of the male host lying in the freezer, because this scar is mysteriously similar to the stitches on the male host's neck...
In addition to this, Chi Nan confirmed that there were no more changes in his body.
But what do the black eyes, the disappearing tear mole, the scar on the left shoulder, and the green-eyed self in the mirror image imply
And the hostess happens to hate green-eyed creatures... Chi Nan believes that it is absolutely impossible for 229 to give a real family story, maybe this is more perverted than the previous school rules.
Chi Nan looked at himself in the glasses again, and suddenly had a clue.
"Master, Miss Tang, dinner is ready, please come to the restaurant." The maid led them to the restaurant after explaining.
The hostess was already sitting on the main seat, she smiled gracefully and motioned for Chi Nan and Tang Yu to sit on either side of her: "You guys who have been exhausted by boats and cars must have been exhausted and starved, come and have dinner. "
As she said that, she nodded to the maid, and the maid understood, bowed to open the silver table cover placed in the center of the table, and the smile on the hostess' face became more and more proud: "Our family has the habit of drinking soup before meals. Today, Mother Chen specially cooked fish soup for you, it's delicious and not greasy, you will definitely like it."
The strong fishy smell came to the face, Chen Ma took three white porcelain bowls and a large soup spoon, and poured soup into the bowls one by one.
But when Tang Yu saw the things in the porcelain bowl, his face suddenly turned blue, and after two seconds he couldn't help but stand up from his seat: "Yes, I'm sorry..."
With that, he hurried to the bathroom and vomited.
The bodies of paradise fish floated in the white soup, their green eyes were gouged out, their colorful bodies lost their vitality, and they solidified lifelessly in the oil flowers glowing with chopped green onions.
Chen Ma has calculated the portion, there are twelve fish in total, four in each person's bowl, one is more than one, and the guests and hosts are very happy.
"What's wrong with Miss Tang? Is she pregnant?" The hostess looked at Tang Yu who was vomiting, worried and contemptuous.
Chi Nan choked: "It's just heat stroke."
The hostess nodded thoughtfully, turned her hands and put the fish soup in front of Chi Nan, expecting: "Others are not important, you are the most important to mother, Nan Nan, you haven't eaten at home for a long time. , will you have a good meal today?"
Seeing that Chi Nan didn't move, the hostess continued to push the soup bowl to persuade: "What's wrong? Don't you like the food at home?"
As she spoke, her voice had cooled down, and the anticipation in her eyes gradually changed.
According to the normal system task logic, if they want to check the hostess's favorability, they can't go against her expectations. No matter how disgusting this bowl of fish soup is, they have to drink it.
But Chi Nan didn't panic. He lowered his eyes and looked at the fish soup, giving the guess a chance to test it.
