Chapter 125.
The light in the room clearly illuminated Ye Zheng's face, her soft and beautiful facial features, and her frowning eyebrows, which seemed to be filled with sadness, which made people feel pity, but Ye Zheng's watery eyes contained a coldness. Stubborn and tenacious, with the tenacity to face difficulties, she smiled sweetly, reached out to take Tangli's shopping bag, her fingers touched Tangli's wrist, the coolness made Tangli couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter in the summer? Your hands are still so cold, maybe you just touched an ice cube?"
Ye Zheng tilted her head, seemingly exposing her finger with a band-aid inadvertently, and explained, "I went to get some ice cubes from the refrigerator. It's okay."
Tangli caught the band-aid on her finger and worriedly avoided her hand to prevent Ye Zheng from helping carry the shopping bag, "Is your hand injured?"
"It's okay. I once cut off a piece of meat when I was practicing knife skills." Ye Zheng observed her expression, and when she saw Tang Li's distressed eyes, Ye Zheng's eyes darkened slightly.
"Open the aura of favorability."
[Already turned on, twenty points were successfully deducted. ]
[The task is released, please say "I hate you" to Tangli, and you need to gain her favorability. After the task is successful, the points obtained from Tangli will be doubled~]
[Don't miss it when you pass by, you should take the mission, right? Tangli's favorability value will not drop easily even if she is insulted by you, so dear Ye Zheng, treat her as a good tool to gain favorability? Why bother with a woman who sees you as a substitute. That's it for now, it's up to you how you choose. ]
[After all, we are one, how could I deceive you? ]
The words of the favorability system penetrated Ye Zheng's mind like a spell. It did not reveal all the details about Ye Zheng's life experience. It only revealed that Tangli and her sister were acquaintances, and that she and her sister are very similar, deliberately making the relationship unclear to arouse Ye Zheng's suspicion.
But it has to be said that the clues it gave still brought some difficulties to Ye Zheng, because Ye Zheng couldn't find a reason to explain why Tang Li had such a high favorability value for her, so her instigation made things difficult for her. Ye Zheng became silent.
It wasn't that she believed the system's words, but that Ye Zheng suddenly realized that she cared about Tang Li.
Maybe it was the first time she met a woman like her. She didn't mean what she said. She obviously liked her perfectly, but she didn't dare to take that step. She acted like a friend.
Sometimes Ye Zheng wonders what she would do if Tangli bravely confessed to her and it was not the same relationship as now.
But the hypothesis is just a hypothesis and cannot be taken as true.
The fact is that Tangli sticks to the relationship of friends and refuses to cross that bottom line.
Just when Ye Zheng was seeking love from Tang Li without leaving a trace, her hand was held by Tang Li. It could even be said that she only needed to pull slightly to pull Ye Zheng into her arms, so the distance between them was so close that their breaths were intertwined, clamoring for the presence of both parties.
Tangli saw that the band-aid was not waterproof, so she said, "Although my craftsmanship is not very good, but if you are there to guide me, I should be able to make those dishes. Then don't do anything, okay?"
Ye Zheng smiled and asked, "Let me be your teacher?"
"Yes."
Ye Zheng shook Tang Li's hand back, and after thinking about it, she still held her hand with both hands. Her eyes were sincere and gentle, and her lively eyebrows conveyed her kindness. Ye Zheng said, "Tang Li, you are so great, how can you need me to be your teacher? Unlike me, I can't do anything except make delicious food, and I have to ask you to take me flying in the game."
Her praise made Tangli smile. Tangli pretended to be reserved and said, "How could that be? Everyone has their own strengths, and little Ye Zi is also great."
Ye Zheng heard the name among friends many times. During those days when she and Tangli Lianmai were playing games, she could occasionally hear it a few times. But the feeling at this time was completely different from the previous one. Ye Zheng clearly saw Tang Li's gentle eyes and the corners of her lips raised with joy. The combination of her expression and voice made Ye Zheng once again see Tang Li's own charm. Who doesn't love beautiful women? What's more, it's a woman who only cares about her.
Ye Zheng admitted that she is a visual animal, and Tang Li's touching display earned Ye Zheng's lip licking.
At the same time, Ye Zheng also heard the notification sound from the favorability system.
[Ding dong~ Congratulations on getting 100 points into your account~]
[You just touch her hand and you get one hundred points. Hehehe, be a ruthless woman. Wouldn't it be beautiful to get her body and then abandon her and continue to choose the next favorability strategy~]
Ye Zheng's eyes were deep, and she smiled slightly, "Change your shoes first, then come to the kitchen with me and I will teach you."
"OK."
The moment Tangli bent down to change her shoes and lowered her head, her expression changed. What happened to Ye Zheng today? It seems that the mood is not right.
[Tangtang, did you hear the warning I gave you? Your wife is murderous! ]
[Fortunately, I thought she was a kind-hearted woman who loves to smile, but when you came in just now, I almost got goosebumps! That look, tut tut. Your wife is a bit fierce, Tangtang should be careful. ]
"The difficulty increase in the different world did not end in the last world. I caught the rules last time and learned more secrets from her, so what kind of difficulty it will be this time is still an unsolved mystery."
[Tangtang means that your wife's strange behavior just now was probably caused by the difficulty? ]
Tangli changed into her slippers and followed Ye Zheng obediently. She did not forget to communicate with 001. She said, "It should be like this."
[Ah ah ah, when will your wife return to normal and love you affectionately? ]
Tangli laughed, "We have always been very loving, but she has no memory, so she needs to get to know me a few more times. As for when to return to normal, isn't the rules stated? If her memory is restored, then it will be over."
[Then you have to work hard. By the way, her hand was bleeding just now. Will the rules appear again? ]
Tangli couldn't figure out the rules or the idea of disaster. All she could do was to act according to the situation and take advantage of the situation.
Most of the ingredients in the kitchen were processed, and Tangli quickly started processing the remaining ingredients.
Ye Zheng took off the apron smoothly and said, "I can tell from one look that you are not someone who often goes to the kitchen. You even forgot to put on the apron."
Tangli wanted to put down the kitchen knife and put it on herself, but today Ye Zheng was extremely docile and considerate. She smiled and said, "I'll do it."
She helped Tang Li put on the cartoon bear's apron. If it were the usual Ye Zheng, she would have walked behind Tang Li to tie the apron strings for her, but this time she was face to face with Tang Li, as if hugging her. Tangli stretched out her hands to tie the belt at the back.
Ye Zheng lowered her eyes, with a slight smile on her palm-sized face. She seemed weak and tender, and when she was about to speak, she raised her eyes, giving her a enchanting and sultry posture.
Tangli's throat slid, and she couldn't help but put her palm on her shoulder, "Thank you."
She wanted to maintain a sense of distance, but Ye Zheng refused to let her get what she wanted.
Ye Zheng listened to the points reminders from the favorability system one after another. She looked at Tangli intently, forcing her to take a few steps back and lean on the cooking table.
[Ye Zheng, if you're a woman, come to come on! Don't be a coward! ]
[Oh my god, your performance today really exceeded my expectations! I have long said that you have the potential to become a heartthrob in the fishing industry, but you don't do it. It seems that you have finally been awakened by my teachings! ]
[Kiss her, kiss her! Earn favorability points and the two of us will get rich~]
The favorability system is very active, constantly brushing up on its presence, fearing that Ye Zheng will forget it.
It was complacent and felt that it was not too late for Ye Zheng to wake up. After she squeezed out all the favorability points from Tang Li, it would move on to the next one.
It doesn't agree with Ye Zheng's pursuit of only Tang Li. There are so many people in the world. Only by using a few more people to guide them can he make a bulging wallet.
At this time, Ye Zheng sighed softly and leaned fragilely on Tangli's shoulder. Her smile was bitter and never the same as before, but instead made her depressed.
Tangli saw this and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"I am so sad."
Tangli put her arms on her back with a protective attitude, "Did something happen today? In fact, I noticed that you were in a very unhappy mood from the moment I walked in."
Her story flowed like a warm current into Ye Zheng's cold heart.
Ye Zheng raised the corners of her lips. It turned out that she had discovered it. Does this mean that she was really important to her?
[Oops, I have to temporarily block the points reminder for you. A high degree of favorability means a lot of benefits. You can easily get her points in return. If you think about it, it's almost more than a thousand. Oh, what a loss. Why did I cut off contact with you for fifteen days. How many points could I have earn? ]
It is obviously daydreaming. Tangli and Ye Zheng have not met each other in the past fifteen days, but have only contacted each other through mobile phones. If it wants to get favorability points, it must meet in person, so the favorability system like to make a fuss out of a molehill.
Ye Zheng's silence made Tang Li ask eagerly, "What are you thinking about? You ignored me."
Ye Zheng smiled lightly and said, "Someone told me that I look like the same person. Tangli, do you think I look like her?"
[Damn it! ]
[What are you doing! ]
[Hey, the script is wrong. Why don't you take the usual path? ]
The favorability system's voice was lively just now, but now it has become harsh in the blink of an eye.
It never expected that Ye Zheng would actually go against the routine and not follow the script it imagined.
The favorability system originally thought that Ye Zheng would be deceived by it's few words and make her resentful of Tangli. No one would be willing to be a substitute. This is a very mocking term, and those who hear it will naturally feel ashamed. She will developed a sense of inferiority, began to doubt herself, and started to wonder how she was inferior to her, so that she would be regarded as a substitute. Therefore, the favorability system has determined that it does not need to be reminded again. Ye Zheng will consciously put this word into the sensitive vocabulary and will never take the initiative to mention it.
She seemed to be full of life, but that was just an illusion.
The real her is like a snail, hiding in its own shell.
The favorability system once judged Ye Zheng's smile to have a high score of eighty-eight. Although the value was high, what was hidden in it was the bitterness of her years of pretending to be energetic with a smile. Only when she smiled more times would she know what expressions can gain kindness from others.
She is just a duckweed without roots. Due to the negative energy, Ye Zheng thinks that her name is just like hers.
The leaves of the tree are separated, and the string of the kite is broken.
This is her evaluation of herself.
Because of this, the favorability system will definitely trick her into deceiving her and turn her into a scoring tool for itself.
Its anger could not arouse Ye Zheng's attention at all. Ye Zheng had long regarded it as a monster that could confuse people, and had never had a heart to heart with it.
While Ye Zheng was talking to Tang Li, she was finally hugged into Tang Li's arms.
This warm embrace made Ye Zheng feel familiar for some reason, as if she had had such an embrace with Tang Li from a long time ago.
Ye Zheng's hands hanging by her sides clenched and unclenched.
Tangli whispered slowly and said, "No, I never think you look very similar to anyone. You are you and you are never someone's substitute. Those who say these things to you must not love or cherish you. How can the people who really love you, be willing to say it?"
Tang Li, who is familiar with the plot, understands that Ye Zheng's misery in this life comes from "substitutes". Unlike Ye Zheng's parents and Zhou Shiyu, she will not regard Ye Zheng as that person.
Tangli only cares about Ye Zheng. In this world, no one is more important than Ye Zheng.
She touched Ye Zheng's cheek and smiled, "You are very beautiful, a beauty that no one can catch up with. You are not like anyone else, you are just Ye Zheng."
"They are the heinous cowards who treat people as substitutes."
"If one day you really meet these cowards, just slap them in the face without talking nonsense to them."
Ye Zheng was worried. What the favorability system said was like a sudden explosion, catching her off guard and unable to find a chance to escape. She could only let the huge lethal force surround her.
While Ye Zheng resisted listening, she couldn't control her thoughts at the same time.
When Tang Li appeared at the door of her house, Ye Zheng was a little angry, but she felt that she had no right to blame Tang Li because she didn't know whether the favorability system's words were true or false, so Ye Zheng quickly adjusted her mentality, wanting to get along with Tangli as if nothing had happened.
Even so, Ye Zheng still couldn't help but observe Tang Li's every move.
She deliberately approached Tang Li. Listening to the reminders of points, Ye Zheng felt a strange perverted feeling in her heart. She wanted to prove to the favorability system that those points did not fall from the sky, but relied on her knowledge of the system. Tangli's importance comes from this, so why should she be described as a substitute?
Ye Zheng's fear and her uneasiness caused all her abnormal behavior just now.
Tangli's comfort helped Ye Zheng feel relieved.
Ye Zheng was stunned at first, then started to laugh, and finally her smile fell on Tang Li's shoulder.
She won the bet.
Winning is wonderful.
It is better to speak clearly than to just talk about others.
The word "substitute" is very hurtful, and it also brings out the inferiority complex hidden deep in her heart. Ye Zheng had thought about keeping the secret and letting her digest it alone, but she couldn't remain calm when facing Tang Li.
She was struggling, not knowing what to do.
But when she heard the favorabity notifications again and again, Ye Zheng's messed up mind miraculously found the line of reason.
Why should she believe the words of the favorability system? It was clear that Tangli was good to her and not the system, so since she could silently bear the pressure brought by the system, why didn't she choose to trust Tangli?
Even if Tangli really regards herself as a substitute, she must recognize the fact instead of hiding in her shell to escape.
The most important thing is that she doesn't want to break up with her.
It would be great if she could find out the answer.
With this determination, Ye Zheng confessed her feelings to Tangli.
She smiled brightly and heartily, her arms no longer hanging by her sides, but hugged Tangli forcefully. Ye Zheng was very happy.
So Ye Zheng said, "Let's have a drink."
Tangli smiled helplessly. She seemed to be unable to keep up with Ye Zheng's thinking. Why did she suddenly talk about drinking.
"You won't go to work tomorrow?"
Ye Zheng jumped up and said cheerfully, "I can ask for leave, it's okay! Tangli, can you drink with me, please, please, please."
Her beautiful eyes showed a pleading look, and she stared at Tangli eagerly. Let alone drinking, Tangli would be willing to accompany her.
But Tang Li still said, "A small drink will make you happy, but a big drink will harm your body. Do you understand?"
Ye Zheng leaned on Tang Li's shoulder again and said, "You are really kind to me."
"Are you going to give me a good guy card?"
Ye Zheng blinked and explained, "I'm not just friends with you because you're a nice person. Why am I giving you a good person card?"
Tangli restrained her desire for her, and the emotion in her eyes was suppressed by her. She stopped and asked with a chuckle, "Why?"
She pursed her lips and said shyly, "It's because you are different."
Being a good person is one of the conditions for choosing a friend. This is friendship.
But in love, just because someone is nice doesn't mean you have to like them or be attracted to them.
Love is very mysterious. If you compare it with family and friendship, it can only be described as different.
Tangli's hand on Ye Zheng's waist grasped the hem of her clothes tightly, exposing Ye Zheng's slender waist, while the other hand moved over and pressed against her skin.
Tangli wanted to use this subtle way to tell Ye Zheng her excitement. Her warm palms stimulated Ye Zheng, and the indescribable itch naughtily penetrated into her heart.
The two looked at each other, making eye contact, and a small movement seemed to ignite the word "ambiguity".
Tangli licked her lips and whispered, "When I came here, I saw a convenience store downstairs. I'm going to buy some wine."
Ye Zheng left her arms, leaned on the cooking table and said, "Okay."
After the previous exchange of glances, Tangli became bolder and bolder.
She touched Ye Zheng's face and found that it felt hot. She smiled with satisfaction and quickly stopped her hand, "Wait until I come back."
The sound of the door being closed was so successful that Ye Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
She covered her face and squatted down, as if smoke was coming out of her whole body.
[Ah ah ah, I am so angry with you, what on earth do you want to do! ]
[Ye Zheng, are you being rebellious? ]
[Ye Zheng, you disappoint me so much. I have always regarded you as my most trustworthy friend, but in the end, this is it? You turned your back and sold me out. Are you going to reveal it to me without hesitation when Tangli asks you where you learned about it? ]
[Bah, love brain! ]
Ye Zheng chuckled, the eyes between her fingers looking sinister and cold.
She curled her lips and said sarcastically, "I won't tell Tangli about your existence. What good will it do to scare her? It's enough for me to be the only one who knows about a monster like you. By the way, you said you would kill me as a friend, this is ridiculous, I have never been your friend from beginning to end, I am just your tool, you want to brainwash me into being your point-earning tool, right?"
Ye Zheng spoke contemptuously, "You are confident and arrogant, and you naively thought that I would be controlled by you. I really want both my life experience and the manuscript. You accurately captured my greed and thought that you could control me. But I have been guarding against you from the beginning and have never believed you at all. Do you understand?"
She solved a major problem in her heart. When confronting the favorability system, she seemed to be able to win with ease.
[You... you treacherous woman! Cunning woman! ]
Ye Zheng smiled contentedly, "If you want to ride on my head, then you have to see if I agree. I'm not interested in my life experience anymore. I can investigate from Tangli's side. I believe what she says, I will never doubt her like I doubt you."
[Damn it! you can not do that! ]
"Don't blame me. If you do, blame yourself for being stupid."
She has never been a harmless little white rabbit. As a child who grew up in an orphanage and has an outstanding appearance, how could she have no scheming intentions?
Ye Zheng used her hands to measure whether her shyness had faded away, "It's nothing. Why are my cheeks so burned?"
[Ye Zheng! Just wait for me. ]
She raised her eyebrows disapprovingly and sneered.
She broke up with the favorability system on bad terms, but on the other side, Tangli, who went to buy wine, had a very happy conversation with 001.
[Hehehehe, the look in your eyes just now seemed as if you had experienced something adults love to do. ]
[It makes me ashamed! ]
Tangli walked leisurely under the light of the street lamp and joked, "Why are you not offline today?"
[I'm a little curious about the development of the two of you. After all, Ye Zheng has murderous intentions. I want to see how you solve it, Tangtang. ]
She calmed down and said, "I'll ask Ye Zheng later who told her about Fang Musi. I didn't see this in the plot. It seems that that person is the difficulty in this different world."
[What if Ye Zheng doesn't tell you? ]
Tang Li said meaningfully, "The drunk little Ye Zi will probably be very obedient."
[Huh? So confident. ]
"Don't underestimate the fifteen days of online chatting, okay?"
Otherwise, why would I have the patience to communicate on my mobile phone?
Chatting on the phone is not as interesting as meeting her face to face.
