Unexpectedly, Ji Chengxuan was also looking at Yun Que'er. Their eyes met abruptly. Yun Que'er was stunned for a moment and then instantly shrank back.
What the hell... Why did she always feel as if Ji Chengxuan was secretly observing her?
If she wasn't sure that Ji Chengxuan was just a kid, Yun Que'er would really have regarded him as a pervert.
Yun Que'er covered her head with the quilt and quietly made a small opening for air with her hand before falling asleep.
In the middle of the night, Yun Que'er suddenly twitched her leg in her sleep and woke up with a start.
She opened her eyes and felt as if she was about to suffocate. She quickly threw off the quilt.
Everyone in the room was asleep. In the pitch - blackness, only the screen in front of Yun Que'er emitted a faint blue light.
"What's going on again..." Yun Que'er murmured in annoyance.
The voice - controlled customer service popped up automatically. "Master, there's a new mission."
Yun Que'er looked dejected. "Even if there's a mission, can't it be sent during the day? It's midnight. Who isn't sleeping?"
"Sorry, master. The system sends missions randomly, and this can't be controlled by you."
Yun Que'er was really fed up. This system was so capricious!
It was always like this. No matter what she was doing, the system would send missions. Wasn't this deliberately making things difficult for her?
Fortunately, Yun Que'er was just a kid with no important things to do. She couldn't even imagine how "miserable" the situation would be if the system suddenly sent a mission when she was doing something really important.
Yun Que'er pinched the bridge of her nose irritably and asked in a bad mood.
"What is it this time?"
"Please go to the bridal chamber immediately."
???
Go again? Didn't she go there once in the morning?
Moreover, it was so late. The bride and groom must have...
Yun Que'er blushed. Could it be that the system deliberately asked her to go and disrupt the bridal chamber, to learn in advance?
"I'm not going! I'm not going!" Yun Que'er was full of resistance. "This is not how you play. What kind of crazy mission is this?"
"Alarm! Alarm! Master can't refuse the mission."
The system issued a warning, and the progress bar of Yun Que'er's accumulated luck value started to flash. It was obvious that if Yun Que'er didn't go, her luck value would decrease.
Yun Que'er got anxious. "What are you doing? I'm not refusing anymore. I'll go! Can't I go?"
Only then was the system "satisfied", and the screen returned to calm.
Yun Que'er sat up dejectedly. After making sure that everyone was sound asleep, she quietly threw off the quilt, got out of bed, and went out.
The silvery - white moonlight was spread all over the ground. It was midsummer, so even at night, the night breeze was a bit warm. Yun Que'er walked around the yard. After the crowd had dispersed, she finally had time to take a good look at this yard.
It had been demolished and rebuilt. She heard that the original one was even worse than a shabby shed. If the groom hadn't been brave and raised pigs against everyone's opposition, they probably wouldn't be living such a good life now.
Yun Que'er felt a bit envious. It was just that the money they had saved at that time wasn't enough. After paying Yun Yi's tuition fees and leaving some for daily life, there was hardly anything left. Otherwise, maybe their family would have become rich too.
Yun Que'er wandered around for a while and then, urged by the system, went to the outside of the main house.
The main house consisted of three rooms with the most traditional layout. The middle room was the kitchen when you entered. There were flues connecting to the kitchen stove on the east and west sides, and there were two large kang beds in each room. In this era, a family with such large kang beds was considered well - off.
The east room was where the groom's parents lived, and the west room was their bridal chamber. The door had been broken by Yun Que'er and the others in the morning, so now there was only a curtain with mandarin ducks printed on it as a partition.
Yun Que'er silently apologized in her heart and then complained about Ji Chengxuan. It was all his fault for speaking unclearly and always scaring her. Otherwise, how could the door have been broken?
In the whole yard, except for the lights at the door of each house, only the red lamp in the bride and groom's bridal chamber was still on.
Looking at the ambiguous atmosphere inside, Yun Que'er didn't dare to get close for a moment, fearing to see or hear something she shouldn't.
The system started to urge again.
"Please get closer to the bridal chamber, master."
"Don't call me master. You're my master!" Yun Que'er got angry. "Have you ever seen a master as humble as me?"
"If master doesn't want to accept the challenge, you can choose to quit. But then you won't be able to end the time - travel early, and your luck value for the lottery will also decrease."
Well, the final interpretation right still belonged to the developer. Yun Que'er was really frustrated.
"Stop, stop, stop. I'll continue with the mission, okay? Otherwise, all my efforts this year will be in vain."
In the past year, Yun Que'er had done everything from saving people's lives to helping old ladies cross the road. However, she was still far from completing the mission and reaching the full luck value. Sometimes, Yun Que'er couldn't help but doubt herself and wonder what on earth she was doing.
However, with the thought that since she had already started, there was no turning back, Yun Que'er still gritted her teeth and continued.
Yun Que'er was forced to get closer to the window sill of the west room. Since she was a bit tall, she had to bend down and move forward, trying to hide her body under the window sill.
When she got closer, the system issued a further instruction.
"Please keep silent and pay attention to the conversation inside."
Pay attention? Yun Que'er really wanted to smash the screen.
Since ancient times, eavesdropping on others has always been considered disgraceful, not to mention that it was the newly - wedded couple's wedding night!
While Yun Que'er was hesitating whether to listen or not, the conversation inside had already drifted out.
"Shujuan, what on earth is wrong with you?" The groom, Da Qiang, sounded extremely puzzled.
Wang Shujuan didn't say a word and let out a soft sob.
Yun Que'er was stunned. What was going on? On this wonderful wedding night, why was the bride crying?
Da Qiang was even more confused than Yun Que'er. He couldn't help but move closer to his bride.
Yun Que'er saw the shadow on the curtain from the outside and quickly shrank her body. Her heart was pounding. She couldn't be that unlucky, could she? She shouldn't hear something she shouldn't.
However, at this moment, Wang Shujuan dodged and shrank back fearfully.
"Don't... don't come near..."
Three question marks appeared in Yun Que'er's mind. On the wedding night, the bride refused the groom to get close? This was really a shocking revelation.
"Why are you doing this?" Da Qiang was a bit anxious. "If you have any secrets, just tell me. Why are you treating me like this? What did I do wrong?"
"Don't touch me..."
No matter what Da Qiang said, Wang Shujuan just wouldn't let him get close.
Da Qiang got angry and hugged Wang Shujuan tightly.
"Weren't we fine before!"
At the same time, a hand landed on Yun Que'er's shoulder, scaring her almost to jump up.
