sunk in yesterday

The light outside was too bright in comparison, Xia Zhuo narrowed his eyes uncomfortably, and vaguely saw someone walking towards him, stretched out his hand to cover his eyelids, and then led him forward.

The faintly familiar scent of perfume made him completely relaxed, and the warmth from the other party's palm was like a powerful tranquilizer.Before he saw that face, he couldn't help sniggering, reaching out and touching the other person indiscriminately.

After being taken to a soft place to sit down, someone not far away continued to report: "There are still three left to compete for the inheritance quota, players please hurry up."

The voice didn't sound as weird as before, and it probably used voice-changing tools.However, he didn't care about these details. After slowly releasing his hands covering his face, he took Guan Yuzhou's soft face into his eyes.

"Out?"

"Didn't you see me all this time? You should be punished if you ask for nothing." Xia Zhuo pretended to be angry and puffed up her cheeks. She didn't hold on for two seconds and then smiled and leaned over her head: "Did you miss me?"

Guan Yuzhou was infected by him, so he couldn't help laughing, "You should be punished if you ask knowingly."

"You're not the first here, are you?"

Guan Yuzhou didn't deny it.

"Then have you seen the paintings on the wall in the passage?"

"You mean the notch?"

Xia Zhuo nodded vigorously: "Yes."

"Well, I saw it."

"Tell me the content at a later convenient time, I didn't see it."

The two gathered together and whispered, and the other three participants who also arrived next to each other also chose their seats to sit down.

In addition to the young man who almost bumped into him in front of the door just now, there was also a capable female office worker with short hair, and a woman who had her hair covered and took off her apron but forgot to take off her sleeves.

These people seemed to be quite friendly, and they didn't show much hostility when they met their gazes, and they all nodded to him politely.But the masked property consultant was still there, and they didn't communicate much with each other, they just sat and waited for the rest of them to arrive.

Perhaps it took too much time to search, the sixth arrival was nearly 10 minutes behind Xia Zhuo.

The passage door was pushed open from the inside, and a little loli with twin ponytails staggered in and rushed in. After seeing Guang and the people sitting around, she fell to the ground, leaning on the fireplace beside her and began to cry loudly.

The property consultant was indifferent, and was still dutifully and coldly declaring the remaining two places.Little Lolita was still wearing a very typical domestic school uniform, which was tightly wrapped from neck to toe, and the school badge pinned to her chest was still on, with the name of a high school written on it.

As if she was venting the negative emotions she had accumulated just now, she stopped crying not long after, wiped her face with her sleeve indiscriminately, hiccupped softly and moved to the corner of the sofa, hugging her knees and curled up into a ball.

The door that had not been closed for a long time was kicked open at this time, and a man came in with messy hair, sunburned skin on his face, and ragged clothes.He glanced around the people in the room, didn't get close to the sofa area, but sat down cross-legged on the carpet.

So far, there are still three participants who have not arrived here, and there is only one remaining in the final place.A few minutes later, a lean boy cautiously opened the door and entered, and it came to an end.

"Congratulations, you have successfully obtained the qualification to move on in the warm-up game." The property consultant held the microphone in his hand and bowed to them in a strange voice to welcome them.

Before he could stand up, the door panel was slammed again, and someone could vaguely hear someone shouting.

As if he had never heard of it, he continued: "Now the players who have won No. 8 to No. [-] are all in this room. I hope that in these three to four days, we will not only fight for the final ranking, but also spend a good time together. "

None of the participants responded, they all waited motionless for him to finish his nonsense before announcing the rules and purpose of the dream.

"After all, everyone has exhausted their physical strength, so there are not many itineraries for you today. In the afternoon, I will lead you to do a simple sightseeing in the mansion. By the way, I will chat with you about the development history of the Xu family. After the rest tonight With energy recovered, it won’t be too late to start the contest tomorrow morning.”

The microphone touched the metal mask, and the crisp and sharp electric sound immediately resounded in every corner, and brought everyone back to their thoughts.

His voice sounded like he was laughing, but the mask blocked all his expressions, "It's just around twelve o'clock, and lunch has been prepared for everyone early. The dining table is a good place for communication, I believe you can all If you want to get the information your opponent wants on this occasion, then please follow me."

The slipper man scratched his neck and asked, "There are two other people besides us, isn't it the one who knocked on the door just now? What should they do?"

"Don't worry about this, since they can't participate in the next game project, I will do the corresponding reception work for the old owner and send the two of them away from here. If you want to quit the game of dividing the inheritance, I will also send I will send you off as well, and I will not embarrass you, please rest assured on this point."

Xia Zhuo let out a "huh" in his heart, and felt that the speaking style of the consultant aborigine was almost carved out of the same mold as that of the butler of the Boyle family. If the aboriginal NPCs in every dream were the same actors, then he would not There is no doubt that the two characters are played by the same actor.

Little Lolita's eyes lit up when she heard the words: "Really? After being sent away from here, is it equivalent to completing this month's dream mission?"

The consultant asked without answering: "Do you want to give up this inheritance fight?"

"She doesn't want to!" The woman with sleeves who followed hurriedly responded, she stretched out her hand to hold the little Lolita, and hissed, "Girl, don't talk nonsense here."

Little Lolita trembled in fright, and later realized that it would not be a good ending if she agreed, so she hurriedly took a few steps back.

Xia Zhuo secretly pulled Guan Yuzhou's sleeve, "Is there anyone with us here?"

Guan Yuzhou pointed to his earlobe, which was empty and had no earrings.

Xia Zhuo nodded in understanding, but didn't let go of his hand, just walked and swayed all the way, it was as comfortable as going to a villa for vacation.

There is no sense of age in this mansion, and a lot of furniture is new, as if it has just been added for two or three years.The decoration does not reflect how rich the owner is, and there is not even a decent calligraphy and painting on the wall, but there is an artistic photo of the same girl.

He carefully observed the appearance of the girl in the photo. She was about ten years old, but she was born a beauty at such a young age. All kinds of beautiful clothes were worn on her body like an exquisite doll, and her poses were also very natural. .

Others also noticed the photos, in which a well-dressed young man asked, "Is this girl your patriarch's granddaughter?"

The consultant turned around, "This is the daughter of the old Patriarch."

I don't know if it was Xia Zhuo's illusion, but the consultant's eyes were clearly buried in the dark hole, but it seemed to be a little brighter when he saw the photo, and even his voice was much softer than the official lines just now.

"She's very cute." The man looked carefully again, and he didn't know who he was talking to: "Just looking at the photos, she is very talented. If she takes the road of acting in reality, she will definitely become popular."

The short-haired female white-collar worker grasped this key point and said, "Since you have children, why do you need strangers to divide the inheritance? The fact that she can frame her daughter's photos on such a large scale and hang them where guests can see them at a glance shows that she should It must have been deeply loved by your old Patriarch."

The consultant didn't stop, and continued to walk forward without making a sound.

It wasn't until he led them to the restaurant that he said in a low mood: "She has been missing for two weeks, and her son, who is also the heir, chose to give up this inheritance, so he decided to send an invitation to the whole society, Aren't you all the elites who have climbed all the way from the registration competition?"

The female white-collar worker opened her mouth, and was about to ask again, but the consultant closed the restaurant door behind with great strength, "You just need to play the game, and you don't need to know more details. I am also employed by the Xu family, You don't need to embarrass me too much."

He has already spoken like this, and no one will talk more in the following time.

Xia Zhuo went through all the content he just said in his head, and the information he sorted out was very little.But this was just the beginning, and he was not in a hurry, he watched the consultant go to the kitchen with his chin resting on his hands.

It's not easy to get a job these days. Not only do you have to manage the overall financial situation, but you also have to cook and entertain their not-so-small number of people.

In the huge house, there is no servant to help with the housekeeping.

The meals were brought to the table one by one, it was not rich, and even the color was not very good. Several people looked at each other, and no one was ashamed to move their chopsticks first.

The consultant put the last cut fruit aside, "There is a clock on the wall, I will come back at two o'clock."

If it were in reality, then he would have to politely say "stay and eat together", but now the situation is different after all, everyone is eager to kick him out, and they don't have the slightest sense of cannibalism.

When the only aborigine left, the female white-collar worker directly cut to the point, breaking the deadlock where no one spoke, "I'll come first, Yang Yin, my profession is forensic medicine."

The sleeve girl had a friendly smile on her face: "My name is He Jia, and I'm just a housewife. I don't have any other skills, but if you are hungry these days and want something to eat, I can cook for you. "

After she finished speaking, several people's eyes fell on the last woman.

Little Lolita was clutching her sleeves uncomfortably under the table. She hadn't adjusted to the dream yet, her voice was a little trembling, "My name is Ge Rongrong, female, I'm 16 years old, I study in a private high school, and usually... I like to read some history-related I listen to music in my spare time... My favorite singer is, is..." She quickly glanced at the man sitting diagonally, "It's Ke Jingsheng."

A perfect entry-style self-introduction.

The slipper man slammed the table and looked at the young man Ge Rongrong saw, "I said, why do you look so familiar? You are a big star. As soon as I said the name, I remembered it. I have heard your song before." , My coworker always hums before going to bed at night. If I can get out alive this time, I can brag to him that I talked to you, haha!"

Ke Jingsheng was a little embarrassed, "It's just that my voice is better, and I don't have any special skills here. I can only try not to hold you back."

Hearing the idol's words, Ge Rongrong became very excited, "No, you dance very well!"

Ke Jingsheng smiled at her, "Then you must be my old fan. I haven't danced in public for almost a year."

"I have liked you since junior high school, when I—"

"Why did it turn into a fan meeting?" Yang Yin pulled back in time, "Let's introduce myself briefly, I don't know what will happen in the next three days, but I hope at least we can coexist peacefully."

It was the first time for Xia Zhuo to hear someone say such words. This forensic doctor named Yang Yin should be a veteran with some experience. Since entering the room, he has been calm and self-possessed, and he took control of the situation with just a few words.

"My name is Zhao Bin, and I'm a worker. You can just call me Binzi, and I'm used to hearing it from the workers." The slipper man looked at the thin boy who came out last sitting next to him, "Young man, what about you? "

"Wan An." The boy hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head as if avoiding his sight.

He didn't want to say more, and no one asked.Seeing Guan Yuzhou lowering his eyes, Yang Yin asked Xia Zhuo first, "You are the only ones left, so just say a few words and let's go through a process."

Xia Zhuo swallowed the ball of rice in his mouth, thinking about it, he should omit a word, so as not to be so hypocritical that people can see it through, "My name is Xia Ming. I have been squatting at home since I graduated from university. I have nothing but hue. You call me Xiao Ming will be fine." He reached out and pointed at Guan Yuzhou, "His name is Guan Qiang, he is the benefactor who takes care of me, and the person in charge of my basic necessities~"

Guan Yuzhou silently remembered his new identity.

There was a brief silence at the dining table, and a group of people seemed to take a moment to digest his self-introduction.After a while, Ge Rongrong looked over evasively, "Then you... are you that... have you found true love?"

Xia Zhuo said "Hi" and continued to add drama to herself, "Where does Baoyang get true love? Besides my family, there are several people waiting in line to serve. It's just that I have the best appearance, so I am the most pleasing to him, basically come out I'm the one who brought me too."

Don't forget to praise yourself in the end.

Guan Yuzhou couldn't stand listening anymore, patted his leg under the table, put it against his ear and whispered to stop: "It's almost there."

Xia Zhuo was overjoyed in his heart, feeling that the mediocre rice smelled several times more delicious in an instant, so he sat up straight and pretended to be obedient, and stopped there.

I don't know if I can remember the names of the rest of the people present, but after going around like this, the atmosphere is obviously much more relaxed.

The sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding gradually spread. Although no one spoke, they didn't feel embarrassed.This was the first time since Xia Zhuo had a dream that he and a group of people had dinner with such a lively atmosphere, as if the distance between each other had suddenly been shortened.

In the second half of the meal, Ke Jingsheng put down his chopsticks and started talking, "I don't know what the participants are going to do this time."

"This is an individual battle." Yang Yin wiped his mouth and summed up the most important point, "Since individual units participate in the inheritance division game, according to the past, everyone will get extra points according to their ranking in the end."

Zhao Bin is full of masculinity, and he has a speech posture as soon as he opens his mouth: "If you want me to say, there are many similarities between this dream and reality. At home, relying on parents and going out to rely on friends, isn't it equivalent to going out now? Peace is the most important thing." , Only by working together can we win a win-win situation, and the slogan posted on the wall of our factory is to unite and create brilliance together!"

He Jia leaned over to him, "What does your factory produce? Is there any internal price?"

The two murmured and chatted about homework. Xia Zhuo was not interested in what they were discussing. He put down his chopsticks and reached out to grab an orange and came back. After a while, he held the peeled off complete orange peel and began to show off to Guan Yuzhou: "Isn't it very sweet?" sharp?"

Guan Yuzhou looked down at him.

Xia Zhuo held the air-wrapped orange peel in his palm and showed it to him, happily said: "Look, you can put it back together!"

"sharp."

Xia Zhuo grinned and stuffed the skin and pulp into his oiled bowl, "Honor my father."

Guan Yuzhou wiped his hands slowly and patted his head as a reward.

Xia Zhuo stared at his retracted fingertips for a while, his eyes drifted and he didn't know what he was thinking.Seeing Guan Yuzhou looking inquiringly again, he looked up at him with twinkling eyes, "Mr. Guan, do you prefer to be called Dad or your name in bed?"

Guan Yuzhou: "..."

Seeing Xia Zhuo's way of avoiding other people, he knew that there was nothing serious about it. After hearing this, he immediately turned his head and turned his head twice, so he simply threw the question back, "What do you like to shout?"

"You're not a few years older than me, I'll call you brother, Brother Guan."

Guan Yuzhou's heart softened, and he was defeated by that "brother".He looked at Xia Zhuo's smiling eyes, and was about to say something, when the wooden door of the dining room was knocked methodically a few times, which immediately silenced the slightly noisy communication meeting at the scene, and attracted everyone's attention at the same time.

"It's time for our appointment." The mask consultant stood up from behind the door. "I just heard outside the door that you seem to have a common topic. I'm very glad that you can reach a consensus before the next game."

Zhao Bin asked, "What's the next game?"

"I will tell you the details tonight." The consultant took this sentence, turned around and expressed apology, "I'm sorry to let you spend the lunch in an uncomfortable restaurant, and now I will take you to familiarize yourself with the restaurant. Take a look at the living environment for the next three days, and after that, I will leave you with plenty of rest time."

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, stood up one after another and followed out.
