Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

Bai Meng pushed open the door and walked into the small shop. He saw someone at the door looking inside, so he walked over and opened the door. "Liu Jie, when did you come back?"

Seeing that it was Bai Meng who opened the door, Liu Jie was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked: "Bai Meng, why are you here?"

"Xiaojuan is eating, I'll help her look after the store." Bai Meng took down the sign on the door and put it on the counter, then picked up the small fan.

"Where are Aunt Wen and Grandma Wen?" Liu Jie walked into the store.

Fanning himself, Bai Meng casually asked, "Going out, what to buy?"

"Are you and Xiaojuan the only ones at home?" Thinking that Bai Meng had just come from the inner courtyard, Liu Jie's face became even uglier.

Bai Meng frowned: "Do you want to buy anything?"

Liu Jie seemed not to hear his words and walked towards the inner courtyard with a gloomy face, as if he had thought of something that shouldn't have happened.

Seeing that he was not in a good state, Bai Meng grabbed him and said, "Stop!"

"Let go!" Liu Jie growled.

When Liu Jie thought about Bai Meng walking out of the inner courtyard just now and Wen Juan had not appeared yet, he became furious. Many images appeared in his mind, making him extremely angry!

"Liu Jie, this is not your home!" Bai Meng said sternly.

"It's not your house either!" Liu Jie turned his head with red eyes.

"Yes, it's not our home, so if you want to enter the inner courtyard, you have to ask the owner for permission. You can't just force your way in, right?" After all, they were from the same village, so Bai Meng still wanted to persuade him, but she didn't know what had stimulated him to suddenly become like this.

"Ask the master?" Liu Jie sneered, "As expected of you who have stayed in Tiancheng for so many years, you are really good at talking."

"Then can you explain how you got out of the inner courtyard? Who did you ask for permission?"

"No one was at Xiaojuan's house at noon, so I brought her lunch. She invited me into the house and sat for a while. I stayed for about a quarter of an hour." Bai Mengxiang wanted to explain calmly, but Liu Jie acted like he was sick.

"You knew there was no one at Wenjuan's home, but you still sent her lunch? I think you have bad intentions!" Liu Jie roared angrily.

Bai Meng didn't expect him to say that, and his face turned ugly. "Liu Jie, we grew up together, and we all know what kind of person each other is."

"Are you going a bit too far with what you said?"

Liu Jie's eyes were full of anger, and his words came out like he was squeezing out from between his teeth, "You can only know a person's face but not his heart!"

Bai Meng was too lazy to argue with him. "I have nothing to fear and I have a clear conscience. You just stay here and wait for Xiaojuan to come out. Then you can ask her what happened and you will know everything."

After saying that, he pulled Liu Jie back like a chicken. Bai Meng blocked the road leading to the inner courtyard, took out his mobile phone to watch videos, and ignored him.

Liu Jie is the same age as Bai Meng. After graduating from junior high school, he followed his parents to go out to work, but he did not go as far as Bai Meng, he stayed in the underground city.

He heard yesterday that Wen Juan had returned home, so he took a leave of absence today. However, before he even saw the person he had been thinking about, he saw Bai Meng coming out of the inner courtyard, asking him what he wanted to buy like a host!

This age is when one is easily passionate and impulsive. Plus, when he heard that they were the only two in the family, he felt like he was wearing a brightly colored hat on his head and instantly became popular.

But after being dragged away by Bai Meng with irresistible force, he regained a bit of composure, mainly because he judged the power gap between the two sides and realized that he could not win, so he became a little cowardly.

"Okay, then let's wait for Wenjuan to come out!" Liu Jie showed his last bit of stubbornness, turned around and walked to the cold storage to get a bottle of Coke, unscrewed the lid and drank the whole bottle in one gulp.

Bai Meng raised the counter and said, "Four yuan, scan the code or pay in cash?"

"Isn't it only three dollars and fifty cents?!" Liu Jie was so angry. Why should it be fifty cents more expensive when he bought it himself?

"The refrigerated ones are 5 cents more expensive." Bai Meng said without raising his head as he looked at the coolly dressed young lady on the phone.

Liu Jie: ...

"Don't even mention Coke that costs 4 yuan a bottle. I've also drunk water that costs 30 yuan a bottle!" Liu Jie felt that he was being looked down upon. He took another bottle of Coke and took out his mobile phone to scan the code to pay.

Ding, payment of 10 yuan.

Bai Meng looked up: "Two more."

"I'd love to!" Liu Jie said aggressively.

Damn, you are sick! Bai Meng lowered his head and continued to look at the young lady, not bothering to pay attention to him.

Noon is the hottest time of the day, and there are few people buying things at this time. Only a few children came to buy iced drinks, and one of them even bought two bottles of cold beer, probably for his parents at home.

Unlike outside, it is very cool in the small shop. In the corner, the cool breeze from a standing air conditioner is enough to freeze people to death.

Bai Meng was leaning on the counter playing with her cell phone. Liu Jie was holding a bottle of Coke, walking back and forth anxiously, taking out his cell phone from time to time to check the time.

"Bai Meng! It's already been half an hour. Why does it take so long to eat?" Liu Jie began to have a bad feeling in his heart again.

Am I really too late and they are already afterthoughts?

"If you can't wait, you can go home first." Bai Meng said in a light tone.

Just then, Wenjuan, who had changed her clothes, walked in with a clean lunch box in her hand.

"Brother Bai, I have washed the lunch box. Thank you for helping me watch the store." Wen Juan put the lunch box on the counter and then saw Liu Jie was there too.

However, she pretended not to see it, went to the refrigerator and took out two bottles of water-soluble C, and handed one to Bai Meng with a slightly red face, "Brother Bai."

"Thanks." Putting the phone in his pocket, Bai Meng took the drink, unscrewed it, took a sip, and said, "I have to go back."

"It's so hot outside now, please wait until it's cooler before leaving. Just consider it as staying with me." Wen Juan begged.

Wen Juan looked shy and coquettish, with an abnormal blush (from heat) on her face, while Bai Meng pretended to be cool.

Liu Jie was biting his teeth so hard that he wished he could destroy the nine heavens and kill the adulterous couple with one blow!

"You...you guys!"

Wen Juan frowned, turned to look at Liu Jie, and said in a flat tone: "What's wrong with us?"

After a year of studying and living in the big city, Wenjuan has become significantly different from most of her peers in the village in terms of the way she dresses, speaks and behaves.

Liu Jie pointed at her, and the words he wanted to say suddenly got stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them for a moment.

Wen Juan didn't intend to give him a chance to speak, and continued to speak calmly: "I'll buy Brother Bai a bottle of drink, is there any problem?"

"He saw that I was alone at home and brought me lunch. This is called mutual help and reciprocity. Do you understand?"

"A grown man, he just talks about gossip every day. I don't know who learned this from."

Bai Meng looked down at Wen Juan in astonishment. When did that weak and gentle girl back then become so vicious?

Liu Jie's face flushed with anger. He felt like he had to vent his anger. He said something he didn't want to say. "The store was locked in broad daylight. You were alone, so who knows what you were doing in the house!"

After all, Wenjuan grew up in the village. Unlike those spoiled girls in the city, she would cry out of grievance when someone said a few words to her.

"Liu Jie! Are you sick?"

"We all grew up together. Who doesn't know how close Lanlan and I are?"

"Brother Bai is just like my brother. Not only does he bring me lunch, he even gave me a bath when I was a kid!"

"Just because you have your own heart, do you think everyone else is the same as you?"

This girl dares to say anything. When have I ever given her a bath?

It was obvious that Bai Lan and Wen Juan were playing in the water and their clothes got wet. He just wiped her head with a towel, and then insisted that it was a bath.

Bai Meng quickly grabbed her and said, "Xiaojuan, why are you bringing this up again? Don't let people misunderstand you!"

"It's just a misunderstanding. Everyone knows it anyway. I don't care!" Wen Juan's face turned red, not sure if she was angry or shy.

Liu Jie had also heard the rumor about the bathing, and he had previously thought it was just a rumor. But now that Wen Juan had said it, the rumor was confirmed, and he felt terrible!

"Okay, so you two have been hooking up for a long time!"

"I've liked you for so many years! How come I didn't realize that you are so shameless!"

Wen Juan's pretty face turned cold, and she could no longer suppress her anger. She pointed at Liu Jie and was about to curse him.

Bai Meng's face also darkened. He reached out to stop her, walked up to Liu Jie, grabbed his collar, and looked at him with extremely cold eyes.
