How Did the Top-Tier Male Lead Fall in Love With Me? 46

Chapter 46

The bicycle sped away, the cat tail swaying in the wind.

The bullet screen was both shipping them and being charmed by them, screaming with excitement.

In this amusement park, besides the original amusement park rides, there were also projects added by the show’s team.

For example, a small stall for shooting balloons, with a female employee in a “Miu Miu Amusement Park” uniform standing inside. It was clearly a task location with a hidden agenda.

The two of them parked their bicycle and went over.

The female employee said with a smile, “Congratulations on being the first to find the wonderful balloon shooting!”

The female employee gestured with her hands and feet as she spoke, “If you hit ten balloons, you will get a wonderful mysterious reward. Every 100 yuan can be exchanged for ten bullets. Since you are our earliest customers since we opened, you can get ten bullets for free~”

“It seems a bit difficult to hit ten balloons with ten free bullets. Let’s try first,” Shen Wu said. “If we don’t hit enough, we’ll sell the tail. I remember there’s a Miu Miu store nearby.”

“Mm,” Meng Huaizhi looked at his tail and said with certainty, “Ten bullets are enough.”

They had come early, and the wall of balloons was still full, giving them a huge advantage. There were twenty balloons in a row, a total of ten rows, so dense that if a bullet accidentally went astray, it might still hit a balloon next to it by mistake.

“Who’s shooting?” Shen Wu asked.

“I’ll do it.”

Meng Huaizhi picked up the gun on the counter and walked to the white line designated by the employee.

The white line was about three or four meters away from the balloon wall, a moderate difficulty.

Shen Wu first confirmed with the female employee, “The gun’s sight is not crooked, right?” He knew that the small stalls outside loved to pull such tricks to reduce the customers’ chances of winning prizes and earn more money.

The female employee smiled, “Of course not! It’s a small business, and we operate with integrity.”

Just as Meng Huaizhi was about to shoot the balloons, suddenly, five or six people in gorgeous clothes appeared from behind the balloon stall. They were wearing black top hats, red buttoned uniforms, and were either holding drums or trumpets.

Shen Wu: “???”

The female employee still had that formulaic smile, “This is the band to cheer you on, it’s free.”

In the next second, the deafening live band performance pierced the sky.

The audience in the live broadcast room’s ears were hurting.

[Crap, I knew the balloon shooting task wasn’t that simple.]

[So noisy, so noisy, so noisy! Fang, you dog, pay for my ears!]

[Is Huai-ge on mute? Why is he not reacting at all?]

At the same time as the last bullet comment came out, the first bullet had already been shot, without hesitation, hitting the second balloon in the third row.

“It hit!” Shen Wu temporarily blocked out the outside noise and said excitedly, “Luckily there are many balloons now, so it’s easier to hit.”

“I deliberately chose the third row,” but Meng Huaizhi had to emphasize that this was not a coincidence, quite pleased with himself.

The red-clothed drummer next to him was tirelessly beating the drum, circling around them. At this moment, the second bullet hit.

The fourth one in the third row.

Then, the sixth, the eighth…

There were a full twenty balloons in a row, and Meng Huaizhi had clearly deliberately chosen the even-numbered balloons. This way, he could hit ten, and also allow for a little error. If the bullet went astray, there were other balloons above, below, left, and right as insurance.

In the blink of an eye, it was the last bullet, but the twentieth balloon was at the edge of the balloon wall.

Seeing this, Shen Wu quickly covered his ears and moved behind Meng Huaizhi.

“Huaizhi-ge, wait,” Shen Wu reminded him. “There’s only one left. This one is at the very edge. Be careful not to shoot outside the wall. You should shoot the one in the fourth row.”

Meng Huaizhi grunted in agreement, his gun barrel moving slightly, aiming at the eighteenth one in the fourth row.

Shen Wu was both expectant and nervous. He didn’t leave after walking behind him.

Hot air was constantly blowing behind his ear, moist, and with Shen Wu’s scent.

The whole world instantly fell into an unparalleled silence. The lively drum and trumpet sounds all disappeared without a trace.

Meng Huaizhi’s breathing hitched, and for a moment, he lost control of his fingers.

He pulled the trigger.

In a situation full of interference, the last bullet still did not disappoint and successfully hit the twentieth one in the third row.

Shen Wu let out a sigh of relief and then held it again, “…Why did you still shoot the one on the side?” It would have been a pity if he had accidentally shot it out.

Meng Huaizhi: “…” It was obviously a miss.

In any case, the task was successfully completed.

The female employee had thought that they would spend a lot of time and was leisurely sitting on a chair to rest.

She slowly counted the empty balloons one by one before she stood up, “Congratulations on successfully hitting ten balloons. Now I will present you with the reward… ta-da! The wonderful clock!”

When Shen Wu saw the pocket watch in the female employee’s palm, he was relieved.

At least Director Fang has some conscience and didn’t give them a clock to carry around.

Shen Wu took the pocket watch and saw an instruction card attached to the back. He read it out as he looked at it, “The Wonderful Clock: Use this clock, call out someone’s name, and you can make them stand still for ten minutes. Number of uses: 1/1.”

“This is good,” Shen Wu said excitedly. “Let’s keep it for the last moment. It might be able to turn the tide.”

“Mm,” Meng Huaizhi’s lips curled. “Maybe there won’t be a chance to use it.”

The two of them were the first to get a mysterious prop, but they were still reluctant to part with the tattered bicycle. Shen Wu was about to leave with the bicycle when he caught a glimpse of the female employee sitting on the chair again.

His footsteps paused, and he felt that something was strange.

In an amusement park, could an employee who was receiving customers sit on a chair to rest at any time?

And this employee had just started working, so she shouldn’t be tired.

Shen Wu took a few more glances.

The velvet-covered armchair had a somewhat retro European style. It really didn’t look like a chair that would appear at a roadside balloon stall.

“Wait,” Shen Wu called out to Meng Huaizhi. “Look at that chair.”

The female employee also heard his words, and her face stiffened slightly.

Seeing this, the two of them directly broke into the balloon stall owner’s territory.

Shen Wu first asked politely, “Can you let us see this chair?”

The female employee stood up in pain, “…Of course you can.”

Shen Wu turned the chair over and over, and finally found the familiar price tag on the bottom—[Retro Wooden Chair: 1000 yuan].

Shen Wu was overjoyed, “This chair is actually worth a thousand? The tail is only two hundred…”

They had gotten a prop at the balloon stall without spending a dime, and now they had gotten a new treasure. It was a blessing from heaven.

But Meng Huaizhi frowned slightly, “Then are we going to… carry this chair around?”

Shen Wu: “…”

Meng Huaizhi: “No wonder the treasures can be bought and sold. This chair can only be sold.”

The two of them reached an agreement and went to the Miu Miu store first.

There were many souvenir shops in the amusement park, all of which had been uniformly hung with the “Miu Miu Store” sign by the show’s team. The goods inside had not been cleared out and were a dazzling array, mainly of cartoon character merchandise.

Shen Wu handed the chair to the clerk and exchanged it for ten gold coins with “100” on them.

He turned back with a full harvest. Meng Huaizhi, who had nothing to do, was actually browsing in the store.

Meng Huaizhi was picking up a gray-blue cat ear headband and murmuring to himself, “This headband…”

Shen Wu went over to take a look, bent his tail behind him, and continued, “It looks like it’s a set with my tail.”

“This headband,” Meng Huaizhi asked a clerk not far away, “how much is it?”

“200 yuan.”

Shen Wu smelled a hint of Fang Ci’s conspiracy, “So expensive. This must be the price set by the show’s team.”

Meng Huaizhi thought more, “These ten gold coins cannot be counted in the total value of the treasures. Look at the balloon stall task just now, 100 yuan for ten bullets, which is just one gold coin, not expensive. The extra gold coins can be used to buy something we like.”

And they now had ten gold coins, a huge sum of 1000 yuan, more than enough to buy a small 200 yuan headband.

Shen Wu hesitated, “…But there’s no need to buy it, right?”

“A headband is easier to snatch,” Meng Huaizhi continued to analyze. “If you’re besieged by them, just protect your ears. They will definitely come and snatch your ears. When they snatch your ears and find that it’s not a prop, they won’t suspect your tail anymore.”

Shen Wu suddenly realized, “That’s true.”

The tail was too eye-catching. This way, he could wear the tail and walk around without anyone suspecting. They would only think that the ears and tail were accessories from the souvenir shop.

Meng Huaizhi generously bought the 200 yuan ears.

He then quickly raised his arms, put the headband on Shen Wu, and then praised, “It’s a good match.”

“Really?” Shen Wu didn’t quite believe it and went to find a mirror himself.

The audience in the live broadcast room, as onlookers, saw a clear point of disharmony.

[Wait, buying 200 yuan ears to protect a 200 yuan tail? Isn’t that a bit strange, or is my math bad?]

[Huai-ge: If you ask, it’s your math that’s bad.]

[Hahahaha, I’m dying of laughter. Someone just wants to dress Wuwu up as a cat, right~]

[Crap, they’re showing off again. So it’s another day of a little couple dating at public expense.]

[I’ll be blunt. Huai-ge, your cat is so cute. I’ll give it a pat as I pass by.]

[Ahhhh, he’s so cute with the ears on, wuwuwu.]

Unfortunately, the audience in the live broadcast room could not break through the screen and go over. Meng Huaizhi, as if he had a telepathic connection with them, went over and raised his hand to catch the cat ears for them.

He pretended to adjust them left and right for a long time before he finally helped Shen Wu straighten the ears.

“Let’s go,” he then patted them again.

Shen Wu did not suspect him. He walked two steps and was pulled by the tail again. He turned his head in confusion.

Meng Huaizhi’s expression did not change, “The tail is crooked.”

Even if Shen Wu was slow, he should have noticed something was wrong. The novel didn’t say that the male lead liked small animals, but now it seemed that the male lead liked his ears and tail very much?

Now, the voice in his heart that appeared frequently was no longer “chasing his wife to the crematorium,” but…

What’s with this high-and-mighty flower male lead?

The bullet screen mercilessly exposed Meng Huaizhi’s pretense of being serious.

[It wasn’t crooked before you pulled it!!]

[LMAO, so this is what Meng Huaizhi is like? Why does he feel different from what people say online?]

[Yes, he’s only like this to our Wuwu. The Wuye Shuhuai Super Topic welcomes you.]

[I’ve been following all along. Why do I feel more and more that something is not right? He already has a sister-in-law, but Huai-ge doesn’t avoid suspicion… Could it be that our sister-in-law is really a man?]

[Ahhhhhh, holy crap, a male sister-in-law.]

[Now I feel like I can accept Huai-ge dating?]

[And they’re childhood sweethearts. Childhood sweethearts are the best!]
