"I wish I could cook as well as you. Then I wouldn't have to go hungry anymore," Yuan Meng said, holding the bowl of porridge contentedly and spouting flattering words as if they were free.
She liked to look into people's eyes when complimenting them, which made her seem extremely sincere. Even Mo Lin felt a bit embarrassed.
"I'm glad you like it," he said with a smile.
This sight made Yuan Xingcheng sigh, because she was exactly like the younger aunt.
The younger aunt had been favored by uncles, aunts, grandparents since she was a child. In short, all the adults liked her.
She liked to look at people like this when complimenting them, and also when lying. One could never detect a hint of guilt on her face.
Yuan Xingcheng had taken the blame for her several times because of this, so he would never forget it in his life.
While everyone was chatting and having breakfast, Yuan Xingcheng, who was lying on the ground...
Well, no one even noticed him.
Only Yuan Meng, after finishing her meal, saw there was some porridge left in the pot. She specially took a clean bowl and filled it up.
Then she walked up to her great - nephew who was lying on the ground looking at the sky. After all, one had to take care of one's own nephew.
"Come on, have some breakfast first."
"Isn't it just that your aunt found out you said something bad about her? Maybe if you behave well now and praise her more, you might still save your own skin."
Yuan Meng's words made Yuan Xingcheng do a sit - up from the ground. He had been listless just now, but now he was full of energy.
The younger aunt saying this to him meant she was soft - hearted and willing to let him off!
Moreover, she had even brought the porridge over by herself. Sure enough, she was his real aunt!
Yuan Xingcheng took the bowl from Yuan Meng's hand with a touched look on his face. He looked at her slightly red palm that had been burned by the bowl with great concern.
Even if the younger aunt didn't say anything, he would loudly proclaim in front of the camera that he had the best younger aunt in the world.
"Actually, those words I said before were just jokes to liven up the atmosphere. Yes, to liven up the atmosphere," Yuan Xingcheng forced out a couple of awkward laughs and continued.
"Actually, my younger aunt is good - looking. Although her temper is a bit bad, she still cares about me a lot. She's just a bit of an tsundere."
"Anyway, my younger aunt must be the most beautiful, kind - hearted and best - behaved girl in the world. All the scumbags better stay away from her!"
When he mentioned the scumbags, Yuan Xingcheng waved his fist at the camera. His exaggerated flattery made the audience burst out laughing.
One could say that his will to survive was extremely strong. Although he had praised his younger aunt countless times, from these flatteries, people could feel even more...
The younger aunt was truly formidable.
[I'm here to apologize on behalf of my husband. Younger aunt, I'm really sorry. You're definitely the most beautiful and kind - hearted person in the world. Please don't beat my husband when you get back.]
[Yuan Xingcheng, this quiet and cold - looking guy, has become a master of flattery for the sake of his younger aunt. Younger aunt, please forgive him for his sincere repentance.]
[We're here to apologize to the younger aunt on behalf of Yuan Xingcheng. We hope the younger aunt can see our messages.]
As a result, the younger aunt in Yuan Xingcheng's words dominated the entire live - broadcast room.
Because the audience in the live - broadcast room were so enthusiastic, the hashtag #Sorry, Younger Aunt# even made it onto the Weibo hot - search list.
People who didn't know what was going on clicked in curiously and came out laughing.
Yuan Xingcheng being caught by his younger aunt and forced to flatter her was really hilarious.
Yuan Meng herself was extremely satisfied. She had never noticed before that her great - nephew was so good at flattery.
It was really a pity that he was a star. His talent should be used in the fan support clubs.
"Do you think my aunt will forgive me?" Yuan Xingcheng asked Yuan Meng, blinking his eyes after he had exhausted all his flattery.
He looked like a well - behaved big dog at this moment. Well, when admitting one's mistakes, one had to be humble.
Yuan Meng was clearly amused by him. She slightly raised her eyes and nodded understandingly, "You're so sincere. Your younger aunt will definitely forgive you."
At the end, she added, "If I were your younger aunt, if you keep talking about her goodness in the next few days, she will definitely believe that you're sincerely admitting your mistakes."
Hearing this, Yuan Xingcheng patted his chest, "I'm duty - bound!"
As long as he could get his younger aunt to change her mind and stop thinking about punishing him, it wouldn't be a problem for him to tell hundreds or thousands of jokes in public.
Yuan Meng: Thanks, but no thanks.
After breakfast, the five of them continued to examine the corpses. This time, Yuan Meng openly studied what was wrong with the corpses.
The others still couldn't get used to the sight of the cute girl holding severed limbs and studying them.
Yuan Xingcheng, who knew everything, pulled the corner of his mouth into a smile. Everyone was completely unaware of the younger aunt's courage!
Not to mention these were fake corpses, even if they were real, she would have the guts to touch them.
Yang Liu was standing beside them, shivering. She really didn't dare to move.
Especially when she saw Yuan Meng's eagerness to break open the fake corpse to take a look inside, it reminded her of the glaring lights from last night, and...
"One sheep, two sheep, three sheep." Yang Liu counted sheep in her mouth, trying to drive away those painful memories with the image of sheep.
After going back in the middle of the night last night, she had been immersed in nightmares. She even wished she could ask the sky for a pair of eyes that had never seen those things.
It was already a miracle that she could stand here and participate today. As for other things, she really couldn't do them.
After rummaging around for a while without any discovery, Yuan Xingcheng walked up to Yuan Meng and whispered, "Any findings?"
Now that he knew the little white rabbit was his younger aunt, he was ready to slack off.
With his younger aunt, the super - brain, around, where was there any room for him to use his brain?
Yuan Meng's hand that was studying the corpse paused. After making sure her back was to the camera, she rolled her eyes at Yuan Xingcheng.
Then, using the prosthetic limb to cover, she secretly pinched him.
Yuan Xingcheng gasped in pain and immediately gritted his teeth to hold back the sound.
Yuan Meng warned him with her eyes to get out of the way and not ruin her persona.
It was already enough for a little white rabbit to dare to study the corpses. As for finding clues, how was that possible?
Yuan Xingcheng instantly understood what his younger aunt meant and scurried away to the other side in a hurry.
The younger aunt was still as fierce as ever. He wondered how she managed to put on that pitiful act.
After the five of them searched for a while, they were out of breath but still hadn't found any clues.
But the program crew couldn't really not leave any clues. So there must be something they had missed.
So after some discussion, the five of them decided to conduct a room - by - room, thorough search. This time, they would put in more effort and definitely not miss anything.
After their unremitting efforts, they really found a few more female corpses.
These female corpses had a common feature, that is, they were all covered in wounds. It was obvious that they must have suffered inhumane treatment before they died.
Yuan Meng thought it was time. She scratched her head and clicked her tongue.
"Something's not right. According to the story background given by the program crew, people started dying after the bride was married."
"It shouldn't be just women who died. Could the men be buried somewhere else?"
