Chapter 184 Opening Treasure Chests Like Crazy
This scene was precisely observed by the other three girls.
Zheng Yulu's lips curled into a wicked smile, as if saying "the plan has been approved."
Shen Youyou looked at Zheng Yumeng with great interest, her eyes filled with scrutiny and amusement.
Tang Wei also looked at her curiously, her eyes filled with a hint of friendly inquiry.
Three pairs of eyes, like three spotlights, shone down on Zheng Yumeng.
That gaze seemed to be asking her:
"When will you finally join our 'family'?"
Zheng Yumeng felt her cheeks were so hot they could fry an egg on them.
She longed to put down her chopsticks and escape from the dining table that made her so uncomfortable.
When they were renting the apartment, she was the one who first contacted Ning Xiuyang.
But now...
The younger sister, Shen Youyou, and now even Tang Wei, who has just emerged from the shadows, have all gone from being the nominal "younger sister" to being the de facto "older brother's woman."
Only she remained in the same place.
She became the most out of place person.
Seeing her flustered and helpless appearance, Ning Xiuyang's smile deepened.
That's exactly the effect he wanted.
Boiling a frog in lukewarm water.
He wanted Zheng Yumeng to feel anxious in this "isolated" atmosphere and to take the initiative to come closer to him.
He wanted her to understand that the only way to avoid being marginalized in this family was to stand with him.
No, they were lying together.
"Come on, Mengmeng, have another piece of pork rib."
Her heart started pounding uncontrollably again.
Under the table, a small hand quietly reached out and squeezed her palm.
She knew without looking that it was her younger sister, Zheng Yulu.
The meaning is clear: Sis, keep it up! Seize the opportunity!
Zheng Yumeng's face turned even redder, and she wished she could bury her head in the bowl.
This scene naturally did not escape Ning Xiuyang's eyes.
He chuckled inwardly.
It seems Lulu did a very good job as an assister.
Zheng Yumeng was extremely nervous, her gaze sweeping over the other three girls on the table.
Tang Wei was looking at her with a gentle expression, her eyes full of encouragement.
Shen Youyou raised her eyebrows, a smug smile playing on her lips, as if to say, "Let's see how long you can hold out."
As for her younger sister, Zheng Yulu, she was so anxious that she almost jumped off her chair.
Zheng Yumeng's cheeks were burning hot.
She knew that she was growing to love being in the apartment where he was.
Even just watching him quietly and listening to his voice makes me feel at ease.
Is this feeling what liking someone means?
Yes.
It is liking.
She could no longer deceive herself.
but……
But that's my sister's man!
How could I... how could I compete with my sister for the same man?
Although my sister kept encouraging me, saying she didn't mind.
But I can't get over that hurdle in my own heart.
The atmosphere at the dinner table became even more delicate because of this little incident.
……
Lunch ended in this strange and ambiguous atmosphere.
Zheng Yulu and Shen Youyou took the initiative to clear the dishes, while Tang Wei, like a docile kitten, clung to Ning Xiuyang's side and sat down with him on the sofa.
Zheng Yumeng hesitated for a moment, then got up to go to the kitchen to help.
"Mengmeng".
Ning Xiuyang's voice rang out again.
"Don't bother, come and sit down."
He patted the spot next to him.
Zheng Yumeng paused, her cheeks flushing again. She stood at the kitchen door for a few seconds, but ultimately couldn't resist that gentle gaze. She walked over hesitantly and sat down carefully half a meter away from Ning Xiuyang.
Her body was tense, her hands nervously placed on her knees, like a primary school student waiting for a scolding from the teacher.
Ning Xiuyang found it amusing, but he didn't press her any further. Instead, he took out his phone and casually started scrolling through Douyin (TikTok).
His gaze, however, quietly fell on the upper right corner of the phone screen.
There, a gleaming golden treasure chest icon floats silently.
After the system was upgraded to Lv2, the number of daily treasure chests increased from two to four.
Moreover, it doesn't require random refresh; it can be enabled by default.
This efficiency is simply amazing!
He casually waved his phone screen towards Tang Wei and asked softly, "Weiwei, do you see anything strange about my phone?"
Tang Wei blinked her big, watery eyes, leaned her head closer, looked intently for a long time, then shook her head and said softly, "No, it's just a regular Douyin interface... Brother, what fun videos do you want to show me?"
Ning Xiuyang understood.
It seems that only I can see this system treasure chest.
That's good.
He was completely relieved. He put his arm around Tang Wei's soft waist, enjoying the faint fragrance emanating from her body, while focusing all his attention on the four glittering golden treasure chests.
It's time to reap today's rewards!
Ning Xiuyang tapped the phone screen lightly with his fingertip.
Instead of immediately clicking on the glittering treasure chest, he casually scrolled through popular Douyin videos, looking utterly bored.
Tang Wei, nestled in his arms, was like a docile kitten, leaning obediently against him, her little head resting on his shoulder, watching those short videos that were either funny or boring with him.
Zheng Yumeng, who was sitting not far away, was sitting upright, but her eyes kept glancing in this direction, intentionally or unintentionally.
From the kitchen, Shen Youyou and Zheng Yulu could be heard laughing and talking in hushed tones.
Everything seemed so warm and harmonious.
Ning Xiuyang enjoyed the tranquility, but his heart was burning with passion.
With a seemingly casual swipe of his finger across the screen, he precisely tapped the first treasure chest.
[Notification: Congratulations, host, for opening the daily treasure chest and receiving [1000 million Douyin Coins]!]
coming!
Ning Xiuyang was overjoyed.
Ten million Douyin coins equal one million in cash!
This system upgrade is really powerful; opening just one box yields a reward in the millions.
He remained calm and continued to slide his finger, tapping on the second treasure chest.
[Notification: Congratulations, host, for opening the daily treasure chest and obtaining a [Triple Spending Cashback Card - Credit Limit of 100 Million]!]
Another cashback card!
Moreover, the amount reached one million!
This means that he can spend one million, and then the system will return three million in cash to him.
In one round trip, I made a net profit of two million!
Ning Xiuyang's smile grew even wider.
Tang Wei, nestled in his arms, seemed to sense his good mood. She tilted her head up and asked curiously, "Brother, what funny video did you see? You're laughing so happily."
"It's nothing."
Ning Xiuyang lowered his head and kissed her smooth forehead, smiling as he said, "I just feel that it's so good to have you all by my side."
These sweet words made Tang Wei's face instantly blush. She happily buried her head in his chest and softly murmured "Mmm."
Zheng Yumeng, who was sitting not far away, stiffened slightly upon hearing this, and unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes with her hands on her knees.
Ning Xiuyang's gaze swept over her, a smirk playing on his lips, and his finger, without pausing, tapped the third treasure chest.
