After the death of the host: the tyrant cried red eyes

[System?] She whispered in her heart.

【here I am. 】

[Help me check Xiao Yi's favorability. ]

Shen Bingning swallowed her saliva. She was not overthinking. Xiao Yi's irrational behavior did not seem like he hated her. Instead, it seemed more like... he loved her?

[Male protagonist's blackening value: 89]

[Favorability: 0].

Shen Bingning was surprised. She thought that her efforts would lead to some achievements, but her favorability remained unchanged. Fortunately, the blackening value finally showed signs of loosening.

Just a 5% reduction caused Xiao Yi's attitude to change so gently?

It seems that this task is not as difficult as imagined!

After applying the medicine, Xiao Yi really did as she wished. He put aside the idea of ​​teasing her and waved his hand to signal them that they could leave.

"The good atmosphere has been ruined. Everyone please leave."

"As ordered."

Tao Ming and Shen Bingning exchanged glances, bowed respectfully, and then both left the room.

Only when the two figures disappeared completely did Xiao Yi sigh softly. The cynical look on his face disappeared completely. His eyes fell on the plate of cold osmanthus cake on the table. He picked up a piece and put it into his mouth.

First, the aroma of wine lingers on the tip of the tongue, and then the fragrance of osmanthus overflows, filling every corner of the mouth.

It's that long-lost taste.

……

All in all, although the trick of sending cakes had little effect, it at least proved that Xiao Yi was not invincible. This made Shen Bingning more motivated and she thought about how to win Xiao Yi's heart next.

After two days of silence, she had a new idea.

Since she became the heroine of the book, it was inevitable that she would repeat the original heroine's path, but the original heroine's personality was completely different from hers.

"Innocent, kind, and otherworldly..."

Shen Bingning counted on her fingers the various virtues of the original heroine.

These traits are totally unrelated to her.

"Miss, what are you mumbling about?"

Lu Zhong, who was standing by, heard her talking to herself and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Shen Bingning's eyes rolled and a plan came to her mind:

"Luzhong, help me find some plain clothes!"

"Plain clothes?"

Lu Zhong looked at the gorgeous Shen Bingning in front of him with confusion. Such a beautiful appearance should be set off by the most gorgeous clothes, so why would she suddenly want to change into simple clothes?

"Yes, the simpler the better!"

Shen Bingning emphasized this specially.

In her memory, the original heroine attracted attention with her simple long dress. Her fresh and unworldly appearance and innocent personality easily won Xiao Yi's favor.

Although it was quite difficult for her to play the role of an innocent person, she had no choice but to try this last resort.

Although Lu Zhong was full of doubts, she quickly brought out a pure white dress that completely met Shen Bingning's requirements. The style was extremely simple, without any unnecessary decorations.

Shen Bingning couldn't wait to put on new clothes and looked at herself in the bronze mirror. She was so beautiful that she looked particularly out of place in this plain dress.

"…Just give me the simplest hairstyle possible."

"And the makeup, everything is kept simple, the most plain kind!"

……

After dressing up, I looked at myself in the mirror and found myself looking quite fresh and refined.

Shen Bingning nodded secretly, replaying the plot of the original novel in her mind.

She clearly remembered that not long after Xiao Yi met the original heroine, the heroine accidentally picked up a fledgling sparrow on the ground and was anxious to send it back to the nest.

That pure kindness easily attracted Xiao Yi's attention.

It seems that she has to find a sparrow to suit the occasion.

While the maid Luzhong was away, Shen Bingning used the precise techniques she had acquired since childhood to hit an adult sparrow in mid-air with one stone.

Looking at the sparrow with injured wings struggling to fly, Shen Bingning's lips curled up slightly, thinking that this was a slight deviation from the original plan...

It should be okay, right?

Everything was arranged properly. Knowing that Xiao Yi was used to taking a walk in the Imperial Garden after retiring from court, Shen Bingning arrived at the Imperial Garden in advance with a sparrow in her hand and chose a good spot to "wait and see".

Coincidentally, there was a conspicuous bird's nest on the pear tree in the imperial garden.

Shen Bingning took a deep breath, walked back and forth, anxiously waiting for the male protagonist to appear.

Hard work pays off. After about a quarter of an hour, the familiar figure finally appeared at the end of my sight.

Here it comes, right now!

Shen Bingning quickly adjusted her facial expression, pretending to be anxious, and looked towards the bird's nest above her head.

Xiao Yi naturally noticed the inconsistent white color, which was incompatible with her image, and her pretty eyebrows could not help but frown.

What tricks is she playing?

"what are you doing here?"

When Xiao Yi approached, Shen Bingning pinched herself hard. The pain made her eyes sparkle with tears, which made her look even more pitiful. "This little sparrow seems to be injured. I want to help it go home."

She spoke sincerely, her anxiety evident in her words. She gently lifted up the struggling little sparrow and asked softly, "Can you give me a hand?"

There was a hint of surprise in Xiao Yi's eyes. He first glanced at the fluttering little sparrow, and then looked closely at Shen Bingning, who was dressed in white and looked elegant and refined.

"You? Save the sparrow?"

His tone was full of disbelief.

"That's right." Shen Bingning nodded vigorously.

"If I remember correctly..."

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, stared at the exaggerated woman in front of him with interest, and exposed her bluntly.

"You used to eat a lot of roasted sparrows."

Shen Bingning wanted to hit herself on the forehead.

How could I forget about this?

In the past, Xiao Yi was not favored, and she and her siblings often went hungry. At that time, she learned how to catch birds, and she caught countless sparrows to satisfy her hunger.

At this point, I had no choice but to defend myself: "The past is the past, let's not bring up the past anymore!"

Xiao Yi nodded in sudden realization: "Does that mean you have turned over a new leaf and now know how to love and care for small animals?"

"Of course, after so many years, people always change."

Shen Bingning blinked innocently: "Perhaps you don't know me very well. I am actually much kinder and more innocent than you think..."

"It was injured by a slingshot."

Xiao Yi's words stunned her.

"It must have been some bored person who hurt me with a slingshot!"

Shen Bingning said righteously.

Xiao Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, as if smiling: "It's quite similar to your method back then."

Shen Bingning was speechless.

Brother, your memory is so good, isn't it?

She didn't expect that Xiao Yi remembered every detail of her bird hunting.

This is really embarrassing.

But she still forced a smile and refused to admit it: "Your Majesty was just joking. I have long stayed away from those... violent behaviors."

"Oh?"

Xiao Yi nodded, his eyes bright, "Since the Queen is so kind, then send it home in person."

"What?" Shen Bingning widened her eyes.

She can shoot birds, but she can't do anything else!

Xiao Yi refused to let him go: "Not willing? Is this false mercy?"
