Chapter 298

"Then, do you have time to have a meal together... or something..." Aurora's voice trailed off, then hesitated before suddenly rising again as she spoke to Xiao Bai:

"Don't get me wrong! I just wanted to thank you for taking care of me before! Now that I have money, I thought I'd treat you to a meal or something! It's not like how I like you in the movie 'Sky Screen'! Understand?!"

Aurora said very seriously.

Xiao Bai looked at Aurora with slight surprise, and she nodded slightly. "I know, you are you, and you are a different person from the one on the Sky Screen. Don't worry, I won't misunderstand."

"..."

Hearing Xiao Bai's words, Aurora's expression turned slightly displeased.

But it was only a little bit, and it quickly disappeared, as if that displeased expression had never existed.

After composing herself, she asked Xiao Bai:

"So,... can we have dinner together that day?"

"Can."

"Real!?"

Why would I lie to you?

Xiao Bai found Aurora's overly dramatic behavior quite strange.

It's just having a meal together, what's there to lie about? Everyone's been getting together for meals a lot lately, hasn't they?

Even the chef was a Xiao Bai.

"Then it's settled!" Aurora said happily, unaware of what Xiao Bai was thinking. Then, as if remembering something, she quickly added:

"Oh, right! Don't use this form! I'm thanking the older man! Although... although you're one person, but... but you using this form... feels a little strange."

"Huh? Weren't you going to eat with everyone?"

Xiao Bai asked in surprise.

Aurora was taken aback, then realized that Xiao Bai must have misunderstood her, and immediately said with slight annoyance:

"Of course not! It's just you and me! The two of us alone! Otherwise, why would I specifically tell you? Honestly! You're so stupid!"

After Aurora finished speaking, she jumped off the lab table and pointed at Xiao Bai, saying:

"You just agreed! You can't go back on your word! It's a deal! Goodbye!!"

After speaking rapidly, Aurora fled the laboratory as if escaping.

It was as if they were hiding from something.

Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 326 The Wish Book

Song Niandong was holding something in his hand, lost in thought.

In her hand was a book that looked rather strange.

The book is predominantly purple, similar to Song Niandong's magic book, but it also gives off a sense of 'being alive'.

It looks very strange.

This is a special 'friend' that Song Niandong created through playing games. In the game, it's called the 'Wish Book,' and it's said to be able to grant people's wishes.

But its actual function is simply to suck people into the book and fulfill their desires within it.

"... Why do this?"

Song Niandong looked at Youyou.

This is a magical item that Youyou brought to life. After Song Niandong infused it with magic power for several days, it is now able to perform some of its functions in the game.

Dongdong just didn't quite understand why Youyou wanted her to do this.

Youyou said to Song Niandong with a serious expression, "Don't you think you're in danger right now?"

"What?"

"Let's not even talk about Xiao Chun. Aurora is about your age and a strong contender for the 'little sister' position. Plus Luna... Dongdong, if you don't work harder, Fang Ming might really be snatched away."

Youyou looked very serious.

Hearing what Youyou said, Song Niandong also felt a sense of crisis. She subconsciously looked at Xiao Bai's private space in the living room, and then at Aurora's private space.

Seeing that no one was in either of the two places, Song Niandong immediately stood up from her small sofa.

"Stop looking. Aurora and Ms. Kelly just exchanged a few words and left. They must have gone to find Xiao Bai."

"!!!" Song Niandong's eyes widened.

Youyou smiled and said, "How about it? Feeling threatened?"

"... Even so, what's the use?"

Holding the magic book in her hand, which seemed to be breathing, Song Niandong asked in confusion.

"It's very simple." Youyou whispered in Song Niandong's ear, "Use this book to lure Fang Ming in, and then..."

Muttering to himself.

Youyou was giving Song Niandong advice, and as she listened to Youyou's words, Song Niandong's face turned red rapidly at a visible speed.

After the Black Rabbit finished speaking, Dongdong's head immediately throbbed like a little rattle. "No, no, no, no... this won't do...! Brother Fang Ming... Brother Fang Ming will hate me!"

"Dongdong is so cute, how could Fang Ming dislike you? Besides, with Fang Ming's strength, even if he really gets involved, he should come to his senses quickly. As long as you don't do anything too outrageous, Fang Ming definitely won't dislike you."

Youyou whispered in Song Niandong's ear, like a demon urging people to go to hell, attacking Song Niandong's psychological defenses.

Looking at the 'Wish Book' in her hand, Song Niandong began to hesitate and waver.

Finally, she took a deep breath, as if making a decision, and whispered:

"Then... shall we do it this once?"

"Yeah, just this once, and this thing can only be used once, right?"

The Wish Book is a one-time use item in the game; it loses its magical function after use.

The props that Dongdong brings to life generally function very closely to the original, so barring any unforeseen circumstances, they can only be used once.

Once the wish of the person who entered is fulfilled inside, it will lose the magic that allows people to enter.

Furthermore, this thing won't harm people; getting someone involved is just a dream come true. Some people with strong wills might even instantly wake up and realize that this is just a large-scale fantasy amusement park.

Given Fang Ming's willpower, he would probably wake up instantly once he went inside.

Whether Fang Ming is sober or not is not important; what is important is whether Dongdong dares to do some things in the book that she usually wants to do but doesn't dare to.

This is the most important thing.

Actually, if she could, Youyou wouldn't want Dongdong to do that either.

But what can you do when Dongdong is such an honest kid?

With Xiao Chun, Aurora, and Luna all involved, Dongdong is still clinging to his own little corner of the internet and living off his past achievements!

How could this be?!

Even if Dongdong's goal is to become Fang Ming's sister, that doesn't mean she shouldn't be wary of other girls who get close to Fang Ming!

After all, once Fang Ming is really in a relationship, he will be completely focused on his girlfriend, so how could he possibly have any spare time to take care of Dongdong, his 'little sister'!

This won't do, this absolutely won't do! That's why Youyou thought of this, giving Dongdong, who was too shy to launch a full -Dongdong scale attack on Fang Ming, a slight advantage.

At the very least... we can't fall too far behind!

Besides... if Fang Ming really gets taken away, wouldn't Youyou have a hard time getting to eat his cooking?

In short, Youyou is determined to be this wingman today!

"Come on, let's put this with Xiao Bai later. As soon as she opens it, we'll have achieved our goal!"

Wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth, Youyou said to Song Niandong.

Dongdong took another deep breath and poured all her remaining magic into the book in her hand. Then, as Youyou had instructed, she placed it next to Xiao Bai's computer desk.

Next... we just need to wait for Xiao Bai to come back.

With everything ready, Song Niandong looked forward to fulfilling her wishes with Fang Ming in the Wish Book.

But Song Niandong didn't expect that instead of Xiao Bai returning, an unexpected event would occur first.

"Ugh! I'm exhausted! Huh? Why are only Dongdong and Xilisi here? Where is everyone else?"

Having completed the final setup of the Magic Network, Chen Xiaoxia stretched and returned with Xiao Qiu.

Seeing the empty lounge, Chen Xiaoxia asked Song Niandong in confusion.

Song Niandong shook her head and whispered, "Sister Luna went home and hasn't come back yet. Sister Xiao Chun went to buy a gift for Confession Day... Hmm, Sister Aurora and Sister Xiao Bai are in the lab..."

"Oh, I see."

Chen Xiaoxia scratched her head.

She asked casually, not really caring where the others were, so after getting the answer, Chen Xiaoxia didn't ask any further questions.

Instead, they looked curiously towards Xiao Bai's desk.

The strange-looking but fairytale-like magic book piqued Chen Xiaoxia's interest.

She couldn't resist walking over to the magic book, picking it up casually to flip through it, and muttering to herself as she did so:

"I didn't expect Xiao Bai to have such a childlike side..."

"Wait! Sister Xiaoxia! Don't open it!!!"

Chen Xiaoxia moved too quickly. By the time Song Niandong realized what Chen Xiaoxia was about to do, the 'Wish Book' was already in Chen Xiaoxia's hand.

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Xiaoxia opened the title page of the Wish Book.

The blue-haired idiot looked at Dongdong in confusion, not understanding why she was shouting like that.

Then, the next second... a dazzling white light enveloped the entire lounge!

"Whoa!! What is this?!"

"Xiaoxia... watch out!! Whoa--!!"

Illuminated by the white light, Yu Muqiu instinctively grabbed Chen Xiaoxia, but then she also let out the same cry as Xiaoxia.

The white light intensified again, eventually illuminating the entire lounge.

When the white light completely dissipated, Yu Muqiu and the others disappeared, and the opened magic book landed steadily on the ground, lying there quietly.

The lounge fell completely silent.

Xiao Chun was walking in the mall.

Nino perched on her shoulder, its tail lazily brushing against Xiao Chun's back.

She watched Xiao Chun strolling around the mall, stopping and starting, then yawned widely and said:

"If you ask me, you should just buy something random. Fang Ming isn't the type to care about the quality of gifts anyway."

"That won't do."

Xiao Chun put the cookbook she had just picked up back down and said to Nino:

"This is my first Confession Day my feelings to Fang Ming! Of course I have to prepare well!"

After saying this, Xiao Chun covered her cheeks, lost in her daydreams. "On Confession Day, I'm going to ask Fang Ming out! Then... we'll have dinner together, and preferably stay in the same room, and then..."

"Alright, alright, that's enough. If you keep fantasizing, it won't pass censorship."

Nino said helplessly.

Originally, Xiao Chun was the most mature and gentlest of the trio, but now she seems... a little too mature?

Sure enough, she should have advised Xiaochun against it when Xiao Chun went to read those fanfictions.

But this isn't Nino's fault!

She did try to persuade her, but Xiao Chun was one step ahead! She actually used cat treats to lure her!

It's not that Nino didn't try hard enough, it's that Xiao Chun was too shrewd!

In short, Xiao Chun is indeed a little scary to Nino in some ways, and she's starting to wonder if she should stay with Xiao Chun now.

But then again...
