Tang Dieyi pinched the cool osmanthus cake, her fingertips turned slightly white. She took a deep breath, suppressed her unwillingness, and put a gentle smile on her face again.
It doesn't matter, she told herself.
In the original work, Tang San's feelings for Xiao Wu are already deep, and it's normal that they can't change their feelings for a while.
As long as she perseveres, there is no corner that cannot be dug, and she will be able to impress him one day.
After all, she understands him better than Xiao Wu and can help him achieve great things.
She turned around and walked under the old locust tree, and happened to see Luolock squatting on the ground, using Xiao Shi sticks to form the prototype of the magic circle.
Big-Eared Hood lay on his shoulder, tilting his head to look curiously.
Tang Dieyi's eyes lit up, and he had an idea in his mind. Since directly attacking Tang San wouldn't work, then start with the people around him. Luolock is now the favorite of the entire Shrek group. As long as he has a good relationship with Luolock, he will naturally appear in front of Tang San often.
"Luolock, what are you doing?" Tang Dieyi squatted down and spoke with a voice so gentle that it could make you choke, "This circle is so beautiful, what is it for?"
Luolock raised his head and blinked his big eyes. "This is the basic magic circle! Once you learn this, you can release simple elemental magic. When my Magic Academy is built, I will teach you how to draw this!"
"Wow, that's amazing." Tang Dieyi said in surprise, "Can I learn it too? I've always been particularly interested in this kind of magical thing."
"Of course!" Luolock nodded immediately, smiling with his little fangs showing, "As long as you want to learn, I will teach you! But you have to test whether you have magic talent first."
"Thank you, Luolock." Tang Dieyi touched his head and glanced at the door casually.
Tang San happened to run in with two bunches of candied haws, and without even taking a breath, he went straight to Xiao Wu.
"Xiao Wu, I bought the candied haws, your favorite hawthorn flavor." Tang San handed the candied haws to Xiao Wu's hand like a treasure. The sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks, but he didn't care.
Xiao Wu took the candied haws, took a bite, and said vaguely, "Well, it's not bad. By the way, I just saw Ning Rongrong has a new hairpin, which is very beautiful. Go and buy one for me too."
"Okay, I'll go now." Tang San agreed without thinking, turned around and ran out again.
"Tang San!" Tang Dieyi finally couldn't help calling him. She stood up, walked over quickly, and handed over the osmanthus cake in her hand, "This is the osmanthus cake I made myself. You can try it. After running for so long, you must be hungry."
Tang San was stunned for a moment and looked at Xiao Wu subconsciously. Seeing that Xiao Wu had no reaction and was just eating the candied haws on his own, he took the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and said politely, "Thank you."
Then, he casually stuffed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake to Ma Hongjun beside him, and said to Tang Dieyi, "I'll buy hairpins for Xiao Wu first, and I'll eat it when I get back."
After saying that, without waiting for Tang Dieyi to react, he ran out of the college gate.
Tang Dieyi's hand froze in mid-air, and the smile on his face completely froze.
Ma Hongjun held the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, looked at Tang Dieyi's ugly face, and scratched his head awkwardly. "Um... Sister Tang, how about I help you eat it? Don't waste it."
Tang Dieyi smiled reluctantly, nodded, turned and walked to the side, facing away from everyone, his shoulders shaking slightly.
She couldn't figure it out. What did she do wrong? She had lowered her stature to this point. Why didn't Tang Third Company even want to take another look at her?
Under the wall not far away, the three Gui Mengguan were watching the show with their arms folded, enjoying the show.
"Oh my God, it's so tragic." Oupai lowered his voice and said through Soul Power, "The sweet-scented osmanthus cake that I made by myself was given to Ma Hongjun after changing hands. If it were me, I would have cried."
"This is the power that lasts until death." Qian Gujue shook his head and said with emotion, "In the face of absolute system suppression, any tricks of the book girl are in vain.
"I feel a little sympathy for Tang Dieyi now." Gui Mengguan chuckled and said through the voice, "She thought that with the counterattack script, she could steal the male protagonist and reach the top of her life. Unexpectedly, the female protagonist cheated. No matter how hard she tried, she was just a clown."
"Do you think she will give up?" Oupai asked.
"Definitely not." Gui Mengguan said firmly, "This kind of girl in books is more persistent than the other. She will only think that her method is wrong, and then change more tricks. If you don't believe it, she will definitely find ways to show herself in front of Tang San, such as helping him in battle, or standing up when he encounters difficulties."
"Wouldn't that be even worse?" Oupai said, "Even if she saved Tang San's life, Tang San would only be grateful to her and continue to be devoted to Xiao Wu."
"That's not true." Qian Gujue said, "I'm afraid there is no system, but the achievement of staying true to death is no joke. Unless the system is untied, Tang San will never be able to fall in love with anyone else in this life."
The three of them were chatting animatedly. Xiao Wu finished eating the candied haws, threw the sign away, clapped his hands, and said to Luolock, "Luolock, stop playing with this, will you accompany me to the back mountain to catch rabbits?"
"Okay, okay!" Luolock immediately put down the Xiao Shi in his hand and said happily, "I asked Kawazhong to help us catch it! It runs very fast!"
"Let's go!" Xiao Wu took Luolock's hand and scampered towards the back hill. Big-Eared Hood jumped off Luolock's shoulders and ran after them. Kawazhong also swung its tail and followed.
Tang Dieyi looked at their backs, a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes.
She clenched her fists and swore secretly in her heart.
I won't give up.
Xiao Wu, don't be too proud.
One day, I will take Tang San away from you.
One day, I will become the heroine of this world.
At this moment, Tang San ran back with an exquisite hairpin. He looked around, but did not see Xiao Wu, so he quickly asked, "Where is Xiao Wu? Where did she go?"
"She and Luolock went to the back mountain to catch rabbits." Ma Hongjun said vaguely with osmanthus cake stuffed in his mouth.
As soon as Tang San heard this, he immediately ran to the back hill without even looking at Tang Dieyi who was standing aside.
Tang Dieyi looked at the back of Tang San running away again, finally couldn't help it, bit his lip, and a tear fell from the corner of his eye.
The sunlight passed through the leaves, casting mottled light and shadow on the ground, but it could not shine into her cold heart at the moment.
The three of them, Gui Mengguan, have already started betting on how long Tang Dieyi can last.
"I bet you one month." Oupai said, "After one month, she will definitely recognize the reality and leave in despair."
"I bet you three months." Qian Gujue said, "People like her don't give up so easily."
"I bet for half a year." Gui Mengguan said with a smile, "And I bet that she will eventually shift her target from Tang San to Luolock. After all, Luolock is much more valuable than Tang San."
