Wait, why is this blond guy a lolicon?

Chapter 228 Shangguan Yunque

"Well, a few years ago when I traveled to southern Xinjiang, I accidentally wandered into a village deep in the mountains. I happened to meet an old man surnamed Shangguan who was very good at playing with Gu insects. We got along very well and became friends despite our age difference."

Later, after inquiring, I learned that the old man was a notorious "Gu King" in southern Xinjiang, and also an old friend of our 749 Bureau, with whom we had cooperated for many years.

Koizumi Aoyama smiled, pointed to the girl at the door, and stubbed out his cigarette. "This is the granddaughter of Master Shangguan."

Before Koizumi Aoyama could introduce her further, the originally mischievous girl, whose eyes often held a hint of arrogance...

A drop of saliva leaked from the corner of his lips.

She... has become a madwoman!

"Oh my god, so cool!"

"This handsome guy with dyed blond hair is definitely the most handsome man I've seen since leaving the village!"

A silly, infatuated smile spread across Shangguan Yunque's chubby face.

Her amber-colored round eyes sparkled, and her heart was so surging that her legs almost gave way and she collapsed to the ground.

He was the only child from Nanshan Village in Miao territory to be admitted to Yenching University.

She was exposed to modern life at a young age and did not get engaged or married early like other girls in the village. She always harbored the romantic idea of ​​"love at first sight, the one destined for you".

Hehe, um, let me think... what's the best way to start a conversation?

boom--

Shangguan Yunque blushed and slammed the door shut, the silver bells hanging from her braids jingling loudly.

Then, her muttering came from outside the door.

"Hey, Doubao, Doubao~ Just wondering, how do I strike up a conversation with a handsome guy with dyed blond hair?"

Doubao: "Oh dear, now that you're asking this, I'm wide awake! First, you have to confidently ask for their WeChat, be sincere, and then..."

In the study, Koizumi Aoyama silently glanced at Jiang Ling beside him, and gave a helpless dry laugh:

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be so popular with young girls."

Come to think of it, could it be that Yue'er only did that "love experiment" with him because he's handsome?

"no way."

Jiang Ling shrugged, a Versailles-like helplessness on her face:

"Who doesn't like a super high-value character model face? To put it bluntly, this world is a giant game of relying on looks."

Without that handsome face, the path to the harem would probably be much more complicated, but who can blame him when he truly has a face that can charm countless young girls?

I'm sorry, but being liked by so many girls is really a troublesome thing.

The study door was pushed open again.

Shangguan Yunque walked in with a flushed face, bowed respectfully to Jiang Ling, and almost stammered:

"Hello! I...I...my name is Shangguan Yunque! Shangguan as in Shangguan Wan'er, um...Yunque as in Yunque..."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, please...please..."

She completely stopped talking towards the end, her hands shaking so badly she was fumbling for her phone, just like Xiao Chunan, who was standing in front of his goddess, flustered and at a loss for what to do.

"Yes, my name is Jiang Ling." Jiang Ling smiled kindly and offered a way out, "Would you like to add me on the contact list? This..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shangguan Yunque suddenly raised her head, her amber eyes brimming with barely concealed shyness, and shouted at the top of her lungs:

"Please...please marry me, um...how about 88,000?"

Jiang Ling: ……

"If that's still not enough, they'll increase the dowry to 188,000 grams of gold..."

Jiang Ling: ?

"Well, in our Nanshan Village, we may not have much else, but we have plenty of gold... Isn't this too hasty? It's alright! I can wait!"

Shangguan Yunque clutched the silver bell on her braid tightly, shyly lowering her head, her ear tips so red they looked like they were about to bleed.

What an adorable little Miao girl...

Her round, light amber almond-shaped eyes were framed by two shallow dimples, and her lips were full, plump M-shaped lips with a natural soft pink hue—anyone who saw her would soften their heart…

Unfortunately...

I am already a married man.

Just as Jiang Ling was about to refuse, the system's voice sounded in her mind.

[Beep, a normal event point has been detected!]

[Option enabled!]

[Reward: Gu Worm - Heart-Eating Love Gu (formed from a fragment of pure love; when both parties are deeply in love, using it can revert to a fragment of pure love and revive the nearest Gu worm)]

Jiang Ling glanced at it, then smirked and muttered, "Seriously, are you trying to act like a Gu master here?"

As the saying goes, if you have a piece of pure love, choose the piece of pure love—so, without a doubt, his choice is option three!

Jiang Ling's eyes turned crimson, and the Sinful Eyes were activated upon opening the box!

[Personality: Firmly believes in the legend of "the chosen one" and thinks that choosing someone to love requires "love at first sight."]

[Ability: Naturally compatible with Gu worms, able to control various auxiliary Gu worms.]

"Um, is that alright?" Shangguan Yunque blinked her big eyes, her small hand reaching into her collar to grasp the silver longevity lock, and whispered:

"I... I can even give you the village's most precious treasure, which my brother gave me, as part of your dowry!"

Inside that silver longevity lock, there were specks of green fluorescence, and the silhouette of a pale green Gu worm resembling a butterfly could be vaguely seen.

"Hmm..." Jiang Ling smiled and said calmly, "No."

"What?!"

Shangguan Yunque was about to cry, thinking to herself, "Cry, cry, handsome blond guy, why do you smile so gently, yet say such chilling things?"

"You're really causing Yun Que a lot of trouble!"

"But we can be friends first."

Jiang Ling stepped forward, gently took her soft, white hand, stared into her round, almond-shaped eyes, and smiled crookedly: "Miss Yun Que is very cute. I really want to be your friend."

Shangguan Yunque was taken aback, his heart pounding, and he nodded: "Okay...okay, let's be friends first..."

In the basement of the villa, in a sealed laboratory.

Several monitoring screens were lined up, broadcasting live footage from various locations, including the home, school laboratory, and secret base.

Shen Yue's purple ahoge swayed gently as she rested her chin on her hands, her cool gaze fixed on the screen—Jiang Ling and Shangguan Yun Que's hands clasped tightly together...

A feeling of "annoyance" inexplicably welled up in my heart.

She rubbed her chest, her expression calm: "So this is what they call 'jealousy'?"

"That's very interesting."

"I think I can understand how Yan Youyou feels."

"Shangguan Yunque, I didn't expect that after ten years, even after leaving the Southern Frontier, you still look..." Her ahoge (cowlick) twitched, as if she was thinking of a suitable word to describe her. Soon, she thought of one and blurted it out:

"Still acting like a green tea bitch, it's disgusting."

"Since you've suddenly appeared as a variable..." she murmured, "if I leave you unattended, it will greatly affect my 'experiment,' won't it?"

At that moment, the surveillance camera at the entrance of the villa area captured a fleeting shadow.

The shadow, with its long, drooping rabbit ears that looked quite cute, was stumbling and running towards the villa.

Shen Yue recognized Yan Youyou at a glance from her familiar clothes; the visitor was Yan Youyou, who had left her not long ago.

"Could it be that she took too many pills, or that she had an allergic reaction to the medication?" she wondered to herself, but her hands didn't stop; she immediately dialed Yan Youyou's number.

Her gaze drifted to the rooftop, as if she could see through the ceiling to a blond man with a wicked smile.

"Ha, just how many times have I saved you?"

In the surveillance footage, the fluffy bunny girl suddenly braked the car, hurriedly hid in the bushes by the roadside, and answered the phone with her ears twitching.

"Go to school, to the lab, I'll come find you."

In short, the call ended.

Yan Youyou glanced at Koizumi Aoyama's villa not far away, feeling somewhat annoyed: "Why do I have to go back to the school lab when I'm clearly at home?"

She didn't understand, but she had no choice but to do as she was told.

A light, gray drizzle began to fall from the sky.

Yan Youyou transformed into a rabbit-person with a keen sense of smell. The smell of rainwater made her inexplicably irritable.

Instead of turning around and running into the drizzling rain, she hailed a ride-hailing car.

Fortunately, with Christmas approaching, some shopping malls are holding anime conventions.

When the driver saw Yan Youyou, he didn't doubt that she was real. Instead, he gave her a thumbs up and praised her, "Girl, this cosplay is perfect! Are you going to the Firefly Comic Con next door?"

"Uh...no, please take me to Shilu University..."

Outside the car window, the light gray drizzle gradually turned into a downpour.

A strange smell entered her sensitive nasal cavity.

"This smell...it smells exactly like that woman's?"

Yan Youyou frowned; she remembered the smell of her mother.
