Chapter 2661: What’s the Original Host’s Wish?
No one knew what the fight was about. However, by the end of their fight, everyone could see for themselves the wine bottles, plates, and cutleries that’d been smashed all over the floor.
At some point, Ai Yun had gotten pushed and shoved into the ground. She got cut but luckily didn’t hurt her face or pierce her eyes with anything sharp.
Ning Shu ran her hand over the stitched gash. The cut felt a little warm. She could see that someone had very carefully stitched it up. There were also still some blood stains on her clothes.
Ning Shu tried to receive the storyline again. She wanted to know what the original host’s wish was.
However, she received nothing. Could it be that if she was interrupted, she wouldn’t have a second chance to get the rest of it?
Ning Shu’s expression was cold as she asked, “2333, what’s the original host’s wish?”
What was she supposed to do without knowing the original host’s wish?
“Wish? Oh. She wants you to prove that her husband killed her.”
Ning Shu: …
“Be freaking serious.”
“That is the original host’s wish. She thought that her husband wanted to kill her and even went so far as to kill her parents to control her.”
The corners of Ning Shu’s mouth twitched. “Seriously?”
“Yeah. Next time, find a good place and time before you start receiving the storyline. If you didn’t finish receiving the storyline and I can’t tell you for whatever reason, you’d be forced to work with incomplete information,” 2333 scolded.
“Is there anything more that’s related to the task? Tell me everything else about the storyline.”
“There’s nothing more.”
“Are you kidding me?”
“The original host didn’t even know how she died, but she believes that her husband killed her.
“You’ve already received the entirety of the storyline.”
Ning Shu was speechless. The storyline was so simple, but such a troll.
Ning Shu stared through the glass. Cheng Fei was in the kitchen, his face was serious as he cooked. He was tall, handsome, and had a good physique.
Ning Shu couldn’t figure out why he would even want to kill Ai Yun. Why would he need to do that?
Could it be that the original host really was paranoid and suffering from persecution delusions?
If the original host really was crazy, how was Ning Shu supposed to complete her task?
If it wasn’t for the integration of the pearls causing a black hole in the system space, she could have met the original host before she started the task.
There were so many things that could only be made clear in person.
After Ning Shu received the storyline, she couldn’t help feeling that something really was wrong with Ai Yun.
Did she think that Cheng Fei had nothing better to do? Why would he kill her and her parents, especially considering what it could cost him if he was caught?
Ning Shu scratched her head. She was a little distressed.
Cheng Fei came out from the kitchen with the food. He saw Ning Shu sitting cross-legged on the sofa with her head down. He walked over and squatted in front of her. “Are you still scared?”
Cheng Fei’s face was so close to Ning Shu’s that she could see his long eyelashes and her own face reflected in his clear eyes.
Her face looked very pale.
Ning Shu shook her head. “I’m fine.”
Cheng Fei stood up. “Alright. Let’s eat, then.”
Ning Shu walked to the dining table, and Cheng Fei pulled out a chair for her.
Ning Shu couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows. He was remarkably polite with her.
Cheng Fei and the original host had already been married for a couple of years. Would people who’ve lived together for that long really still be this polite to each other?
Cheng Fei was a man without flaws. It was completely normal for some men to start acting like lords in their own homes by now, but he still pulled out the chair for his wife?
Didn’t people usually only do this when they were still dating?
Ning Shu smiled and sat down. “Thank you.”
Cheng Fei sat across from Ning Shu. He put some cooked Chinese cabbage in Ning Shu’s bowl and said, “While your wound is healing, you should eat lightly flavored foods. Don’t eat spicy food, let alone seafood.”
Ning Shu nodded and lowered her head to eat.
Cheng Fei then continued, “Later, I’ll help you bathe so you won’t get your wound wet.”
“Pfft…” Ning Shu immediately sprayed the rice out of her mouth and coughed uncontrollably.
Cheng Fei stood up and got a tissue for Ning Shu. “What’s wrong?”
