Curse Love Game

In the following time, Xu Qiubai was asked many questions, covering everything from food, clothing, housing, transportation, emotions and friendships, and Xu Qiubai answered them truthfully.

The senior student got tired of asking questions and began to urge Xu Qiubai to eat more vegetables.

How should I put it? Although it was a bit confusing and involved a little privacy leakage, Xu Qiubai did not hate this way of communication and he did not hear any negative voices from beginning to end.

Perhaps this senior sister Hua is such a person, and she needs to know more information to make friends.

I have to say, this dinner was a great experience.

"Hello, Ms. Hua, your total consumption is 5726 yuan. Here is your card. Welcome to visit us next time."

The waiter respectfully handed the fancy-looking black and gold card to Zhong Xiaomian.

Zhong Xiaomian smiled and put the card into her bag.

But inside, it’s a different story.

This junior brother from the Sea King has such a high level, how could he not reveal any flaws?

I'm so tired, I want to go home and go straight to bed...roll around among my daughters...

The two walked out of the white house and returned to the center of the commercial street.

Hey, there's actually a millet shop here? I really want to go there, I really want to go there, I really want to go there——

Hmm? Since I can use this card to eat, can I also use it to buy grain?

I buy a few good ones and give one to him at random. Isn't this also considered an expense for making friends?

Mian-chan, you are really a genius?!

Her mind was opened up and Zhong Xiaomian instantly became excited again.

"Junior, come with me to visit that store."

Xu Qiubai looked in the direction she pointed and saw a millet shop with a high concentration of two-dimensional elements.

Come to think of it, when we first met, she did seem to have a bit of a 2D vibe.

Broken, now it’s even more perfect!

Chapter 32: Having a sense of boundaries is a great advantage

Xu Qiubai doesn't actually visit many offline physical millet stores.

But he is very familiar with various online trading platforms, and a considerable portion of his salary is used to buy action figures.

So it’s hard not to say that visiting this kind of store is his comfort zone.

"sure."

It's still early, so it's nice to go shopping. It would be even better if I could increase my favorability.

Great! This little sea king is really cooperative!

Baji, standees, lottery tickets, laser tickets, I’m going to buy a lot of them!

Polaroid, cotton doll, pain pack, Gu Mei, I want them all!!

Xu Qiubai followed behind the senior schoolmate who seemed a little impatient and slightly quickened his pace.

It's amazing that he can eat so much and walk so fast.

This store is very large and its decoration is very "flashy". The store is divided into many areas according to different ACG works.

The senior schoolmate was like a bird entering the jungle, disappearing as soon as she was let go, with no so-called "hanging around" atmosphere at all.

In this situation, a young man who has little experience in dealing with otaku girls might get close to her.

But as an experienced veteran, Xu Qiubai can boldly conclude that 95% of the situations will not end well.

On the contrary, if you accidentally interrupt others and block their way, the person you are shopping with will become annoyed.

As for the reason, it’s very simple, just put yourself in their shoes and think about it.

If you are a MOBA game enthusiast, and a friend you don’t know very well keeps unintentionally restricting the movement of your mouse, causing you to die in the game, what would be your reaction?

Regardless of gender or hobbies, a sense of boundaries is crucial.

Xu Qiubai chose to stroll around the store by himself.

I have discovered before that this world is very different from the original real world in the entertainment sector, which is most evident in the fact that there are almost no identical works.

But the core and trend of the works are actually very similar.

For example, there are many special effects works that Xu Qiubai likes, but the protagonist settings and plots are different.

While browsing, Xu Qiubai used his mobile phone to search for relevant encyclopedias of works and then matched them to the corresponding ones. It was not boring at all.

After shopping for about half an hour, Xu Qiubai happened to meet his senior in the store.

She was holding a small shopping basket in each hand, one of which was already full, while the other was only half full. Every time she reached out to get a new basket, she would put the full one on the ground in front of her.

"Yeah, you're still here, junior!"

When the senior student saw Xu Qiubai, she didn’t know if it was because she was having a great time shopping and wasn’t disturbed, but she looked very happy and gave Xu Qiubai a very genuine smile.

"Would you like me to help you carry the basket?"

"Okay, okay. Thank you."

Xu Qiubai took the full shopping basket from her, and the smile on the senior sister's face became even sweeter.

This is the correct example. Don't always serve by the side. That is the job of slaves in feudal society.

Showing up at the right time and helping within your ability is the true meaning of making friends in modern society.

So why doesn't my favorability increase at all even though I'm smiling like a flower?

"Click."

Xu Qiubai cracked his knuckles.

"Little brother, you can't pinch your joints like this often, it can easily cause chronic strain and edema of the tendon fascia."

"Okay, I'll go home and do it again."

……

Zhong Xiaomian was very happy at the moment because she had a great time shopping.

By the way, Xu Qiubai seems to be more friendly than before. Nowadays, there are not many people with such a strong sense of boundaries. He still has some understanding in him. No wonder he can be the King of the Sea.

At this moment, Xu Qiubai also discovered a new direction for exploration, the grains in his senior sister's basket.

He had just checked several works in it, and there was not a single BL work.

Xu Qiubai secretly checked the rest and finally came to a shocking conclusion:

Among these millets, 7% are GL-oriented works, and the other 3% are BG-oriented.

Isn't this really rare in the ACG world? She is indeed a lady who doesn't follow the crowd.

Xu Qiubai himself is also a fan of light yuri works, and most of them are of the same interest.

As long as you don’t like the trouble-making type and like the pretty girl type, then we are good brothers from different fathers!

At this moment, Zhong Xiaomian had almost finished shopping, and the more she looked at Xu Qiubai, the more she liked him. So she decided not to just pick a grain for Xu Qiubai casually, but to ask about his preferences and give him a good one!

"Little brother, have you seen any peripherals or figurines you like? I'll give you one~"

"Give me one?" Xu Qiubai was shocked again.

After this trip, I ate, drank, shopped and looked around. What else can I bring back home?

Is there such a good thing?

"How about this?" Zhong Xiaomian pointed to an assembled model similar to the Fengling Gundam in the glass cabinet.

Guigui, you also gave me a four-digit Gundam as a gift. Do you know how much of a psychological blow this is to a model guy?

If this whole 4090 thing happens again, I really don’t know what I’ll do when I get excited.

"This is too expensive. I can't have it. Let me pick something else."

Xu Qiubai still controlled himself and picked out a small item worth 68 yuan from a nearby shelf.

68 is actually a bit expensive, but you really can’t find anything cheaper in this store.

"Are you sure you want to take this?" Zhong Xiaomian's eyebrows suddenly raised.

"Well, that's it."

“Do you know this character?”

"I don't know him."

Xu Qiubai shook his head. He just thought that this blonde with twin ponytails looked very much like Aohara Yuzu, whom he liked very much in his previous life, and who was one of the protagonists in the work from which the term "orange and tangy" originated.

The character settings match pretty well, so I just picked it.

"This character is my recommendation, which means I like it very much, but the one you picked is a fan-made one, not an official one. How can I explain this...hiss...it's just...in short, there's no need to buy it. Do you understand what I mean? Forget it, I'll just give you the model. It's really not expensive to you."

Zhong Xiaomian said a long speech, but only explained half of it, and the meaning was very confusing.

Someone else might have been confused by what he heard.

But Xu Qiubai was not confused at all. She actually understood everything when she was halfway through.

Simply put, in the eyes of these relatively high-end two-dimensional peripheral consumers, only officially produced products are worth buying, and fan products are at the bottom of the contempt chain, and they feel ashamed to give such things as gifts.

Plus, this was a role she liked, and she didn't want to be picked by someone outside the industry.

“It’s okay to buy these prize figures from doujinshi. The genuine ones are not meant to be sold directly. They are prizes in claw machines and Ichiban Kuai. Buying these should not cause a shock to their copyright system.

Besides, I really like this character, it’s quite orange, right? "

Xu Qiubai insisted on his choice, but Zhong Xiaomian was shocked by what he said:

"You, you...how do you know all this?"

Chapter 33 Ah, Do You Really Understand?

Zhong Xiaomian was stunned.
