Oh my god, can you play like this?

"Xiaotong, what's going on?" Gu Lanzhi asked the system in his mind.

"Master, it's upgraded! You've met the upgrade conditions! More than a thousand people are watching your live broadcast!" Xiaotong's voice crackled with excitement.

Xiaotong was happy, but Gu Lanzhi's face turned dark.

"You said you were going to upgrade, so just upgrade. Why are you making such a loud sound to scare me?"

Gu Lanzhi was really unhappy, and it was not his fault. After living in the apocalypse for so long, he was very sensitive to sounds.

When the end of the world comes, there will be no electricity, no entertainment activities, no sound, and any sound will attract zombies. Even if people stay in the base, there will not be much noise in the base.

Therefore, people living in the end times are very sensitive to sounds, especially sudden and loud noises.

The system's sound effects were ringing in Gu Lanzhi's mind. The sound was definitely quite loud and really scared Gu Lanzhi.

"Xiaotong, can you remove the upgraded sound effect? ​​Just tell me if there is any situation."

Hearing Gu Lanzhi's dissatisfied tone, Xiaotong's original excitement was suppressed, and she said aggrievedly: "Oh, okay, Master."

Gu Lanzhi was so focused on his own fright that he forgot that Xiaotong also had emotions. Now, hearing Xiaowei's aggrieved little voice, Gu Lanzhi softened his heart.

"I'm not blaming you, I just...

You also know which world your master came from. The sudden sound of fireworks just now made me think that zombies were attacking the city!"

After hearing Gu Lanzhi's explanation, Xiaotong, who was originally feeling aggrieved, immediately reacted.

"I'm sorry, Master, I just wanted to remind you that you have reached the system upgrade conditions, and I forgot about other things.

Master, I will tell you everything from now on, okay?"

Hearing Xiaotong's soothing tone, Gu Lanzhi was no longer unhappy. He curled his lips and said, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble my Xiaotong from now on."

Hearing "my Xiaotong", the system actually felt embarrassed. He really felt that the master valued him, and Xiaotong was really happy.

"Master, do you want to upgrade now or wait until tonight?"

Gu Lanzhi thought for a moment and asked, "How long will it take to upgrade?"

"It will take about five minutes."

"Then please help me explain to the audience in the live broadcast room and wait until the system upgrade is complete before starting the live broadcast."

Gu Lanzhi did not forget that the system upgrade has a live broadcast time requirement. Since the audience in his live broadcast room is willing for him to broadcast live all day, Gu Lanzhi will not waste time.

"Good host."

As soon as Xiao Wei finished speaking, she sent a message in the live broadcast room saying that the system had met the upgrade conditions, and the live broadcast room was temporarily closed, and the live broadcast would be reopened in five minutes.

Without waiting for any reaction from the audience in the live broadcast room, he directly cut off the live broadcast.

Xiaotong was afraid of the curiosity of the audience in the live broadcast room about herself. She was afraid that once her system started talking, the audience in the live broadcast room would ask her endless questions.

So he cut the Gordian knot and decisively ended the live broadcast after making sure that all the viewers in the live broadcast room had seen the announcement he had sent.

Seeing that the system had started to upgrade, Gu Lanzhi regained his composure and looked at the eldest lady, "Auntie, I'm fine."

But the eldest lady did not believe what Gu Lanzhi said and still looked at him with heartache.

Gu Lanzhi couldn't say much to the Madam, so he could only smile at her and said, "Madam, please accompany me for some tea."

"Okay." Gu Lanzhi spoke, and the eldest lady had no choice but to respond.

Not only the eldest lady and Gu Lanzhi, but also Yin Heng, Gu Nanwan and several children accompanied Gu Lanzhi and others to drink tea in the dining hall. The atmosphere in the family was very lively and very good.

But the mother and son of the third wife, who lived in the same mansion, were in a gloomy mood.

Gu Shurui's face was dejected, and he lay on the small couch in his room as if he had lost his life. His mother, the Third Lady, was sitting at the table not far from him.

"Son, you saw the reaction of that little bastard that day. If you can't make progress with the Fifth Prince within half a month, that little bastard will definitely not let us mother and son have an easy time.

Even if the Fifth Prince doesn't want to see you, you should still find a way to meet him. It is said that once you meet, you will feel affection for him. As long as you meet, I believe that the Fifth Prince will not be so ruthless to you. "The Third Madam looked at her disappointing son with some complaint.

Gu Shurui was blocked by the fifth prince's servant at the palace gate and was not allowed to approach. Gu Shurui had already told the third lady everything in detail.

"What can I do? He avoids me like a snake or a scorpion. It's impossible for me to even get close to him. What else can I do?

I ran up to him and was so close to him, but he didn't even look at me.

We were supposed to have some feelings for each other when we met, but he didn't even look at me!

"Mother, didn't you ask me to seduce the fifth prince? Now you can help me think of a way!" Gu Shurui also blamed his mother.

That's right, it was the Third Lady who was the instigator who made Gu Shurui ignore Gu Lanzhi's engagement with the Fifth Prince and seduce him, but Gu Shurui, the executor, was not a good person either.

Although the idea was proposed by the Third Lady, if Gu Shurui didn't have that intention, he would not have agreed to his mother's proposal.

To put it bluntly, they are a bunch of bastards.

"I...I...I am a woman in seclusion, what can I do..."

“Then why did you let me approach the Fifth Prince? Now, the Fifth Prince refuses to see me, and we have completely offended Gu Lanzhi. You and I, mother and son, will never have a good life in the future.” Gu Shurui was furious at his mother.

In fact, Gu Shurui is full of hatred in his heart. He hates the Fifth Prince's indifference towards him and wants to avoid him as much as possible.

All the time they had been together under the moonlight, drinking and reciting poems, was no match for Gu Lanzhi's return.

Gu Lanzhi had just returned, and hadn't met the Fifth Prince yet, but the Fifth Prince had abandoned him so easily. All those good memories from the past didn't even enter the Fifth Prince's heart at all.

Even if the Fifth Prince had the slightest affection for me, he would never treat me the way he does now.

Could it be... Could it be that the Fifth Prince, who treated me like a treasure, was really just acting?

Gu Shurui stared fixedly at the beams of the house, his emotions surging in his heart and he could not find an outlet to vent them.

If he saw the Fifth Prince now, what he wanted to ask the Fifth Prince the most was not why the Fifth Prince had not seen him for so many days, but did you, the Fifth Prince, really care about me, Gu Shurui? Did you ever have even a moment of affection?

Gu Shurui approached the Fifth Prince with a purpose, but after getting to know him, he really fell in love with him and gave his whole heart to him. The Fifth Prince's behavior also made Gu Shurui feel that he liked her.

How come all this came to nothing just because Gu Lanzhi came back?

He hated the Fifth Prince, Gu Lanzhi, and his own mother.

If it weren't for his mother's instigation, he wouldn't have approached the Fifth Prince. If he hadn't approached the Fifth Prince, he wouldn't have lost his heart and wouldn't have felt the bitterness he felt now.

Gu Lanzhi, since you have already gone to the battlefield, why do you want to come back! It would be great if you died on the battlefield!
