Chapter 178 Controversy and Quarrel
Song Jinmian's words almost made Jiang Huanhuan sprain her ankle.
The puppy didn't expect to be asked so directly, especially when he thought he was almost getting away with it.
It was like being suddenly hit on the head with a stick.
Dizzy.
The system's response was quite quick, and rather resentful: [What else?]
Naturally, Jiang Huanhuan couldn't tell the system what it said.
She could only bite the bullet and say, "No, how could that be?"
But Song Jinmian obviously didn't want to hear Jiang Huanhuan's perfunctory words.
Song Jinmian's tone was steady, as if he was coaxing her to do a difficult math problem.
He whispered, "But there are two sets of tableware on the table. Is one for Jiang Qi?"
Jiang Huanhuan: "...No, Xiaoqi was taken away by the housekeeper for a follow-up visit."
Once you weave a lie, you will use countless lies to cover it up.
Jiang Huanhuan understands this principle.
But at the moment she couldn't think of a better excuse to cover it up.
Dead brain, think fast!!!
Is this set of tableware actually prepared for Song Jinmian?
No, the system will be angry.
Your friend will be here soon?
How do you explain why you didn’t come then?
In short, just say it's a hobby that came to you on a whim?
...How could she be so weird!
"Is this your friend over there?"
It was also at this moment that Song Jinmian's soft voice passed by Jiang Huanhuan's ears.
It was very light, like a bird gliding over a lake, gently touching the surface of the lake with its white wings, leaving only a momentary ripple that disappeared in a flash.
Friends over there?
Jiang Huanhuan wasn't quite sure if this was the sentence she heard.
But the next moment, Song Jinmian raised his eyes and smiled at her very gently.
"There are cakes in the refrigerator and some delicious fruit wine in the wine cabinet. You can try some."
"I'm going to get some documents and then go to the company. I probably won't be back until tonight."
But he just said he wanted to go home and cook?
Before Jiang Huanhuan could answer, Song Jinmian had already found a way out for her.
The door is closed.
Jiang Huanhuan stared at the door in a daze.
The system's tone is also quite complicated.
System: [He's a really nice guy.]
System: [But does he know something? ]
The system is not human. It accurately captured Song Jinmian's mumblings and analyzed them.
The system was a little skeptical: [What's this side? What's that side referring to?]
Jiang Huanhuan looked at the closed door and felt a little stuffy in her chest, but she didn't know where.
She could feel that Song Jinmian was not angry or unhappy.
He just noticed it and then gave her some private space.
It should have been a relief, but Jiang Huanhuan felt a tightness in her chest.
It was the system's constant urging that drew Jiang Huanhuan's attention back.
System: [Have you said anything to him? ]
Its voice became visibly tense.
Jiang Huanhuan shook her head: [I didn't say that. It was Song Jinmian who guessed that I was a transmigrated animal.]
Song Jinmian didn't know that this world was a novel and Jiang Huanhuan was the vicious female supporting character.
He was just guessing that Jiang Huanhuan was a small animal that had become a spirit.
System: [But this is also quite scary.]
Can I just say he is worthy of being the male lead?
Jiang Huanhuan returned to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator as Song Jinmian instructed.
A small six-inch cake came into view.
It was a very delicate cake, decorated with Jiang Huanhuan's favorite fruits. Looking at the logo above the cake, Jiang Huanhuan realized that it was the cake shop she had wanted to eat at before.
The presence of cake and fruit wine made the already sumptuous lunch even more sumptuous.
System: [Is this cake prepared for you? It's filled with your favorite fruits, and there's even a puppy.]
The pastry chef has superb skills, which can be seen from the 3D puppy. With its snow-white, round body and honest little expression, it looks extremely cute.
System: [It looks a bit like your expression.]
System: [Is it not good for me to eat it like this?]
Jiang Huanhuan stared at the little dog on the cake and was silent for a moment.
It was obvious that Song Jinmian had made a reservation in advance.
I just plan to go home and cook for her.
Jiang Huanhuan stared at the chubby puppy for a long time, as if she had made up her mind.
"Can I introduce you to him?" Jiang Huanhuan asked softly.
The system paused its tasting motion, then immediately said, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
The system's sudden serious tone startled the puppy.
Jiang Huanhuan asked quietly: [What consequences will this lead to?]
System: [In the past, no matter what the situation was, as long as you revealed it, you would be unconditionally wiped out.]
Jiang Huanhuan was frightened by the system's words.
But she still grasped the key point and took a tentative step: [But what now? ]
The system paused for a long time, and after seeing that Jiang Huanhuan refused to give up, it spoke unwillingly.
System: [The main system has been shut down, so these rules are naturally invalid.]
Before the system finished speaking, a hint of hope appeared on Jiang Huanhuan's face.
Jiang Huanhuan: [So can I tell you now?]
The system's tone turned serious again: [But why do you want to talk to him?]
Jiang Huanhuan paused for a moment before answering honestly, "Because we are the best friends in the world?"
The system said firmly: [Not allowed.]
The system's tone suddenly became serious again: [But why do you want to say it? ]
Jiang Huanhuan: […That’s what I wanted to say. I don’t want to hide it from him.]
The way the system looked at Jiang Huanhuan at this moment was as if it was looking at someone who was hopelessly love-sick.
At the same time, the system fully realized the importance of Song Jinmian in Jiang Huanhuan's heart.
Jiang Huanhuan defended herself: [Because Song Jinmian promised not to hide anything from me, and I didn't want to hide it from him.]
The system coldly did not respond to Jiang Huanhuan's explanation, which was a disguised rejection.
Jiang Huanhuan felt a little disappointed, but she quickly adjusted herself and asked the system to continue eating.
The system did not refuse, and ate all the food carefully. Then it took the initiative to wash the dishes and finally cut a plate of fruit for Jiang Huanhuan.
But from beginning to end, no words were said.
The cake was not touched either.
The atmosphere just turned cold.
This was the first time that a conflict arose between one person and one system.
Jiang Huanhuan was a little overwhelmed and also tried to communicate with the system.
Jiang Huanhuan: [Are you angry?]
System; [No, the system won't be angry.]
Jiang Huanhuan: [Then why don't you talk much? ]
System: [For the system, talking is a waste of energy.]
After being rejected twice in a row, Jiang Huanhuan wanted to say something, but the words she wanted to say popped up in her mind and she stopped abruptly.
Jiang Huanhuan also refused to communicate with it.
I don’t know if it was because she was angry or because she was really too tired today, but Jiang Huanhuan felt extremely exhausted. As soon as it got dark, she curled up on the soft bed.
Before her consciousness faded, Jiang Huanhuan couldn't help but whispered to the system.
"Do you think talking to me is a waste of energy?"
