Help, I've become a paper man
Chapter 59 Children's Privileges
Under everyone's gaze, Song Yi raised the corners of his lips and said briskly: "This is easy to handle."
The next second, he raised his hand, first took the bowl in front of the Duke and put it in front of himself, and then wanted to take the plate. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he felt pain in the back of his hand. The Duke's folding fan slapped over and pressed his hand on the table.
The atmosphere froze for a moment, and everyone had different expressions. Some people looked away from Song Yi and looked at the boss of this game, the Duke.
The Duke's cold face did not warm up, but he smiled and said, "Haha, I like enthusiastic children, but please be polite next time."
There was no smile in her eyes, and her gaze did not linger on Song Yi for long. As she spoke, she glanced at everyone, with the intention of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.
Only Song Yi was lost in thought, could it be that his setting was really "child"?
The Duke was indeed tolerant of him. When she withdrew her hand, she casually spread out the fan. The maids seemed to have received instructions and immediately stepped forward to place the tableware neatly in front of the other six people. Song Yi was in charge of the head maid, who moved the tableware in front of the Duke to him.
He subconsciously touched the back of his hand. The red mark had not yet faded, but the pain was no longer obvious.
The Duke's voice sounded, saying, "Everyone doesn't know each other's identities yet, why don't we get to know each other now?"
She used the questioning words without any intention of asking anyone to refute her. No one would refute her at this moment. They looked at each other, and it was Jasmine who raised her hand first and said enthusiastically: "I'm Jasmine, and my identity is... a writer who specializes in children's stories!"
Song Yi followed closely and said, "I am the newspaper boy Song Yi."
His tone was cheerful and he did not feel ashamed at all. After calling "Jasmine" sister, a new branch of his life opened up. He was no longer troubled by other people's views on his age and calmly accepted the targeting of Noah's Ark, although the main reason was that he had no way to respond for the time being.
It was this attitude that made the girl's impatience more obvious. She glanced at Song Yi and said clearly: "My name is Jian Nuanyang, and I'm a hunter."
She pronounced the last two words with a heavy accent. It was more like declaring war on Song Yi than introducing herself to everyone. A subtle hostility spread in the air.
The woman tried to smooth things over again, saying, "That's amazing! You must have put in a lot of effort. Have you been rewarded for your hard work?"
This is a beautiful flowery sedan. As long as Jian Nuanyang takes over the conversation, he can take the opportunity to say something praising himself, or he can be humble and pass the topic to other people.
But Jian Nuanyang simply shifted his gaze away from Song Yi, said "hmm" lightly, and stopped talking.
The topic froze here for a moment, and the strong man who was waiting found an opportunity and broke the silence.
He said: "My name is Xia Hao, and my current job is as a groom."
After he finished speaking, the woman spoke again: "Hello, Xia Hao, my name is Li Yuan."
As soon as she finished speaking, before Xia Hao could respond, the Duke said, "Very good."
This was the first person to initiate interaction for the second time after the Duke mentioned "getting to know each other".
Song Yi became interested and looked at the boy and the teenager. He had just obtained the correct strategy and it would be just right for him to use it.
Everyone's attention turned to them. The boy looked a little nervous. He placed his hands on his thighs, his fingers pinching the fabric of his pants, his body trembling slightly. He rarely spoke first and said, "I am a goat."
A quiet environment will not become quieter, but some people's breathing has obviously become lighter, such as Song Yi. Without thinking about what he did, Song Yi did not care that he broke the pattern of saying his name and ID card just now, but when he heard the word "goat" for the second time, he realized something.
The boy is introducing something further.
The sturdy man looked fierce, and with the name "Xia Hao" at this time, he also had nothing to do with gentleness. He was indeed the first to speak, saying: "Hey, I'm a tiger, and the girl over there is a wolf. You are really dangerous."
There was teasing in his words, not much intimidation. The boy looked at him with clear eyes, but as he was staring, his smile gradually faded. He rubbed his arms uncomfortably and said no more.
Song Yi also understood what they were talking about. It was about the animal forms. Xia Hao was a tiger and was strong enough in human form. Although Jasmine was a wolf, her human form was still that of a child. So what was he?
Thinking of this, Song Yi looked in the direction of Jasmine, then followed her line of sight and looked back at the boy who claimed to be a goat.
The boy's nervousness had subsided. He had no chance and looked straight at the woman in the main seat. Everyone was still staring at him without looking away. Song Yi originally wanted to turn his head and look at the Duke who was being stared at, but his sense of crisis suddenly sounded the alarm, as if every cell in his body was telling him "no".
Before he could get too confused, he heard a woman's laughter. The Duke smiled and said, "Everyone is so childlike."
He lightly brushed aside the conversation just now.
Song Yi heaved a sigh of relief. The boss didn't do anything. He was almost forced into danger by his own body's reaction. For a moment, he thought that his beast form must be some timid little animal, but he did not rule out other reasons.
He looked at the main seat as he wished. The Duke was sitting there with delicate features, not caring about the gazes of the crowd at all. She clapped her hands and announced the start of the meal, indicating that the dinner would continue.
A maid came up with food, and the maid next to them pushed it away, and new ones came up, as if to ensure that there would be someone available beside them while the food was served.
Everyone's mind was not on the food and they did not eat much, or rather, they did not trust the food provided by the characters in the dungeon and only tasted a little. When following the plot, Song Yi and Jasmine mixed in and even though they did not eat much, they became the duo that ate the most.
The Duke was even in a good mood and asked the head maid to pay more attention and prepare more special dishes for them tomorrow.
His tone was gentle and his eyes were caring, like a pig farm owner watching his pigs or an elder caring for a child. Song Yi's mind was wavering between "she is looking for trouble" and "she really prefers children". In the end, he chose to trust his intuition and ate another plate of meat.
This was a special switch, and seeing him continue, Jasmine followed closely behind him and began to eat with peace of mind, and the silent boy also followed suit.
Like Xuanyuduo No. 2 and Xuanyuduo No. 3.
Perhaps because of the presence of the "child", there was no alcohol at this dinner, but fruit juice was served with the rich food. It seemed okay as everyone was restrained and on guard, but when the three of them relaxed their guard and started to enjoy the food happily, the other four began to feel uncomfortable.
It's not that they don't want to eat, but the current trend shows that children have privileges, but it's not necessarily beyond this range. After all, compared to common sense, there are more inexplicable rules in the dungeon. In some rules, people with a certain identity card can do things that others may not be able to do.
There is indeed another way. One of them should eat more first. The problem is that they are all smart people. None of them is as intuitive as Song Yi. They don't want to act directly. So the four of them had to control their appetite during the tormenting time, endure the smell of food, and try to ignore the sounds made by Song Yi and the other two.
It was not until the Duke announced the end of the dinner that the torture that Song Yi and his teammates had brought to an end came to an end.
Before Xia Hao and the other three could relax their guard, the Duke's voice rang out.
"Let's move on to the next item before we say goodbye." She stood up and spread her arms, and the maids who had just left gathered again.
