After finalizing the engagement details, the Jiang family came prepared and calculated all the auspicious dates for next year.
Anyway, the two kids would marry sooner or later, so we hope they can get married early, that way they can have children sooner. Wen Xian took out the calculated dates.
Ji Yao and Meng Deyou exchanged a glance.
Of course, it completely depends on your daughter, Meng Shining. Seeing their hesitation, Jiang Baiyu stepped forward to smooth things over.
Shining, what do you think? Jiang Baiyu asked softly.
It’s fine, Meng Shining said. For her, it didn’t matter. She was just a passerby here, and once the tasks were complete, she could return to her own world. So when to marry and who to marry was irrelevant.
Jiang Wenyan lowered his gaze, completely detached from the discussion, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Since the main parties didn’t care, Ji Yao and Meng Deyou naturally had no objections.
The wedding was set for September 12, an auspicious date chosen by Wen Xian after consulting a master.
With everything discussed, the meal was nearly finished.
After the families said their goodbyes, Meng Shining returned to the villa with her parents while Meng Ci’an was driven to his company by his driver.
Shining, did you eat enough tonight? Do you want Auntie to make you something else at home? Ji Yao asked gently, tucking Meng Shining’s hair behind her ear.
Meng Shining quickly shook her head. She already felt as if her stomach was full to the throat.
Alright then, let’s not eat. Get some rest early. Tomorrow, I’ll take you to buy jewelry, okay? Ji Yao smiled, growing more fond of Meng Shining the more she looked at her.
Previously, her daughter had some childish moods, a bit of temper now and then. This time, all of that was gone. She was now obedient and sensible.
Meng Shining didn’t yet know what the task was, so she didn’t dare answer carelessly.
Mom, you just came back today, you must be exhausted. I don’t want jewelry. I want you and dad to rest properly, Meng Shining said considerately.
Meng Deyou hadn’t expected his daughter to be so thoughtful, his eyes glistening. Next time he met his friends, he would bring her along to show them how sensible and considerate she was. They would see that she hadn’t been spoiled, just loved, and those friends would be jealous because they had no daughters.
Back at the villa, Meng Shining had the servants bring her some digestive tablets and hurried back to her room.
It felt fine while eating, not overly full, but the aftereffects seemed stronger. She realized how uncomfortable she felt only after getting into the car. Good thing she didn’t eat a fourth bowl, or she might have thrown up.
Damn Jiang Wenyan. If she hadn’t reacted quickly, he would have really trapped her.
Lying in bed, Meng Shining was bored. It was too early to sleep. She opened a popular Eggplant Novel app, browsed a few stories, but found them boring.
She tried searching for BL novels, but after scouring all novel apps and websites, there were none in that category. She searched just the term BL, still no results.
Bao Linglong, is it that no one writes BL novels in this world? Or can I say this world doesn’t even have a BL category? Meng Shining asked curiously.
After searching, Bao Linglong replied truthfully, Indeed, this world has no BL novels.
Meng Shining immediately sat up. Then I’ll become the first BL author in this world and fill the literary scene here with BL.
She was action-oriented, so she brought her laptop to bed, opened the Eggplant Novel app, and applied for author status.
Then she opened a document and began outlining her first BL novel in this world.
Since this world was already a novel world, could she use characters from this world as inspiration for her own story?
She imagined Meng Ci’an and Jiang Wenyan’s faces. Their appearances perfectly matched BL aesthetics. Now, who would be the seme, and who would be the uke?
She pondered for a while with no answer, so she closed the laptop and decided to wait until tomorrow to observe Meng Ci’an in person.
Thinking this, Meng Shining lay back down and opened a random game to play. Just as she started, a message popped up.
It was from Lin Yushan.
Shining, I’ve never asked you for anything, except last time with my female friend, and now tomorrow. I want you to bring An Gege to the Green Moss Hotel.
Shining, please, I really want to say goodbye to my first love. Can you, can you make it happen for me?
Meng Shining frowned upon reading the messages. This woman’s way of expressing herself was a bit… slow. She hadn’t planned to reply, but Lin Yushan kept bombarding her.
The gist was basically that she wanted Meng Shining to help her.
Meng Shining sighed. This person even interrupts my gaming.
Shining Princess, she typed, Sorry, I don’t have that function. I cannot fulfill that wish. If you really want it, I can only send some physical tools. What size do you want? I can help pick.
After sending, Meng Shining frowned at the screen name. Who would be shameless enough to choose such a username? And princess, seriously disgusting.
She immediately changed her username and updated all her social accounts, picking a new avatar that matched her new name.
Looking at her updated username, Meng Shining nodded proudly. Elegant, noble, and charming.
Lin Yushan: Shining, what are you saying? I mean, I want you to fulfill my wish to see An Gege.
Sexy Enchanting Frog: Can’t fulfill, next message is blocked.
Bao Linglong buzzed, a little stunned at the new username.
Shining, your new name…
How about it? Elegant, noble, and charming, Meng Shining said proudly.
Yes, sure, Bao Linglong replied hesitantly.
After this, Lin Yushan didn’t send more messages, probably afraid of being blocked.
Meng Shining played until her eyes could barely stay open before reluctantly putting down her phone.
The next morning, she was once again woken by the system’s task notification.
Task 3: Go to Green Moss Hotel and bring Meng Ci’an to Lin Yushan.
System, can you tell whoever assigned this task to not do it so early next time? Meng Shining complained.
There are only two times tasks are released, 7 a.m. and 11:30 p.m. The host can choose, Bao Linglong explained.
