Help, I've become a paper man

It must not be as simple as finding a man for the Duke. Song Yi confirmed again.

Among the invited people, there are women and minors. If the target is adult males, only he and another strong man meet the requirements. Song Yi is not sure about the age of the remaining man, who looks like a teenager with a pretty baby face, which makes him look more childish and innocent. If he smiles, he will probably look more childish. Unfortunately, Song Yi has never seen this man smile, and he naturally has a melancholy feeling when walking among the crowd.

When everyone gathered in front of the Duke to talk, he was one of the people who was not proactive enough. He stood in front of Song Yi and followed behind slowly like two children, seemingly having no interest in the Duke at all.

Besides... Song Yi thought of this, and looked down at his clothes, which were the right size but not in the right style for his age. He crossed himself out in his mind. It was hard to say that Noah's Ark defined him as an adult man.

The progress on the other side was the same. The Duke communicated more with the strong man. When they arrived at the stone pavilion, the others gradually retreated and took the initiative to leave enough space for the two of them. After all, if the teammate became a "qualified husband", the others would also be considered to have helped. This task seemed to be a group task and there was no need to increase the competition.

As a result, it was the sturdy man who continued the conversation, but he no longer continued to deepen his relationship with the Duke. Instead, he tried to pull the other two people into their conversation. He even pretended to avoid it inadvertently when the Duke's hand touched his fingers, pretending not to see the Duke's gloomy eyes.

This man has almost realized that being a "qualified husband" is not necessarily a good thing.

Song Yi did not approach them. No matter how he looked at them, they were not suitable to join them. He simply pulled the two children to avoid the trouble and went to the other side of the pavilion. There was no separate chair beside the table. Song Yi took off his vest and threw himself on the stone chair that was integrated with the fence. He persuaded Jasmine to sit down. He squatted down and joked that he had been training his legs recently and wanted to check the results today. He stayed opposite Jasmine.

Since they were not familiar with each other, there was nothing to talk about. He casually mentioned the time, which was just something that everyone could see, such as the sun had not set yet and there was still a long way to go before the dinner. After that, there was nothing more to talk about. The boy was still silent and dazed beside him, and although the melancholy boy was sitting here, he was still a distance away from them, not getting close to them, let alone getting close. Occasionally, he showed a clear distraction. It was obvious that the two of them were not thinking about chatting up the Duke, nor were they here.

Song Yi was not interested in taking the initiative, but he was bored, so he directly borrowed the chess on the table and started playing with Jasmine. What he meant was that each of them chose a beautiful chess piece to represent themselves, and they started telling stories to each other in a role-playing way.

The little boy stared at them in a daze. After a while, perhaps attracted by their voices or for some other reason, the melancholy boy who was originally looking at the flowers in the pavilion came over. They chatted excitedly, and the two of them watched them play house. When Song Yi talked about the Yuanying master traveling through time and becoming a knight and starting the farming era, Jasmine also talked about the orc tribe that appeared in primitive society and the lord leading everyone to expand the territory...

Half an hour later, the plot progressed to the point where they were about to conquer the Milky Way. The boy came to his senses and stared at the chess pieces in their hands and said, "These are pawns and bishops."

There was silence for two seconds. Song Yi and Jasmine looked at each other. They tacitly pretended not to hear and continued telling their own stories, completely ignoring the boy's popular science. The plot gradually began to connect and become more layered.

The two of them were getting more and more excited as they talked. Song Yi was bragging in a relaxed manner, randomly putting in different ideas, with a bright smile on his face. Unlike him, Jasmine was a little lady, she would not wave her arms exaggeratedly or gesture in the air, but her cheeks were also red, she had a pair of big sparkling eyes, and her soft voice was slightly higher, which made her look more energetic.

The excitement here attracted the Duke's attention. When she looked over, the other three also looked over. The sudden increase in attention made the boy uncomfortable. He said again in a soft voice: "It's the pawn and the elephant..."

Still trying to stop the person in front of him from doing this in public.

Song Yi said, "You are still young, don't worry about things you don't understand, just go and play by yourself."

He said this casually, and seeing how easily Song Yi could deceive children, the melancholy boy now looked at the boy with sympathy, and even felt that their maturity was out of place here.

Song Yi and Jasmine were still talking, and the story had developed to the interstellar war and the cultivation of new plants. The Duke's attention to this place had obviously increased. Seeing this, the strong man who had just wanted to pull others to share the attention began to worry about his own attraction to the Duke. After all, no one could be sure whether the "husband" was the one to be sacrificed or the only one to survive.

Before the Duke took any action, the strong man, after taking the initiative to ask "Why are they over there?", volunteered to say "We can't let them be left out in the cold." Under the Duke's gaze, he took the initiative to walk over and said, "What are you playing here?"

Chatting up things to talk about and pretending to be friendly. Logically, if the content of the task is questionable, most people will just keep on cooperating on the surface, just like what Song Yi did in the last instance.

But now, after seeing his A-level reward, Song Yi is no longer the same Song Yi as before. He avoided the hand that was about to be placed on his shoulder, pinched the wrist of the sturdy man, stood up and said, "Be reserved, I'm not giving it to you."

The strong man's smile froze, but he didn't forget the purpose of his visit. He continued to laugh and said, "Of course I'm not either." Then he leaned forward and looked closely at the chessboard on the table. He asked again in a tone of voice:

"Hey, intellectuals, are you playing chess?"

Song Yi said: "No."

The strong man further asked: "What is this?"

Song Yi let go of his hand and shook his fingers without saying anything. The boy suddenly said, "Play house."

Accurately summarize what they just did.

Just such an answer made the strong man almost unable to maintain his smile. Instead, Song Yi nodded happily and added:

"It's none of your business. This is a kid's table."

As soon as these words were spoken, the people who heard them had different expressions. Only Jasmine, who was certain that he was a recently born stardust, nodded. The faces of the others mostly showed suspicion and disbelief.

"You? Kid?" the sturdy man asked, raised his head to look at his forehead, then raised his hand and gestured above his head, reminding him to pay attention to the height difference between them.

Song Yi nodded, pulled the hem of his shirt, and said confidently: "Yes, I, a newspaper boy, do you know what a 'boy' is?"

The sturdy man stared at his shirt, which became tighter and tighter as he moved, and the faintly outlined muscle lines, with the "speechless" expression on his face almost solidified into words.

This kind of "child" is indeed difficult to understand!

At this moment, there were more than one person who secretly criticized Noah's Ark. It turned out that the identity card could be given so easily.
