CHAPTER 13: CHAPTER 13: HELIAN... HELIAN WHAT?

Yu Xia racked her brain but couldn’t fathom the absurdity of such a book.

She felt that this round might also drain her, pushing her body to its limits.

And Wei Yaoyao blurted out, tugging at her woolly curls, "Why is it Anna again?!"

Shu Ran paused and glanced at her palm, "If you don’t want to call her Anna, you could use her nickname... Florentina·Rina Lily·SB·Eliza Huang·Dreamy Snow Spirit Purple Aura."

Wei Yaoyao: "......"

What the hell kind of name is this?

Yu Xia immediately said, "Anna is such a great name, simple and dignified without pretense, exuding a socialist democratic vibe from the inside out. Let’s just call her Anna."

Having said it sincerely and earnestly, she sensed a particular gaze on her, openly intense and burning, chasing her glance only to find Xie Qingci’s perfectly contoured profile.

She didn’t look much longer.

Everyone else burst into laughter, and the now-aware Wei Yaoyao quickly nodded in agreement, "Definitely call her Anna, it should be Anna."

The ghostly name takes ten seconds just to pronounce and consistently sounds juvenile that no one would dare to utter it.

Shu Ran controlled her cheek muscles to avoid laughing too exaggeratedly.

"So it seems everyone isn’t very familiar with this book yet."

Subsequently, Xie Qingci followed suit and said, "Maybe the story doesn’t come to mind immediately, but everyone must know the author, the famous writer Tolaski."

After saying that, he turned his head toward Yu Xia.

Everyone between them had been eliminated, leaving Yu Xia as the next to pick up the thread.

Yu Xia wasn’t flustered; just the barrage of comments she learned every time she watched a drama was enough to support her through another round.

"Oh ~ that book by Tolaski, the name rings a bell. At the beginning, wasn’t it Anna who accidentally entered the wrong room, bumping into the drunk male lead Helian Bo Bo Chicken?"

"...... what chicken?" Even though Ning Yunchao was very familiar with this game, he didn’t see the humor struck there.

He widened his eyes, pursing his lips tightly, as he couldn’t resist laughing, and the air in his nose emitted that impending burst-out laugh, like an electric kettle boiling water.

Noticing his expression, Yu Xia was also on the brink of losing control over her facial muscles. She followed suit, puckering her lips, looking anywhere but his face.

"Hel... Helian Bo Bo Chicken, what’s the matter, you can’t even remember the male lead’s name?"

Saying this while suppressing laughter, she finished speaking with a grin that shook her whole body.

Ning Yunchao: "... oh— you mean him, he... he was drunk... and with Anna at that time..."

Wei Yaoyao interjected, "This narrative direction is quite unhealthy, isn’t it inappropriate to listen to this just coming of age?"

Ning Yunchao: "......"

The countdown had already entered the last four seconds; he was a bit uneasy, bowed his head, and thought hard. Finally, he managed to blurt it out in the last two seconds:

"Although Bo Bo Chicken lunged forward, Anna is a good girl and pushed him away!"

Yu Xia blinked, why was the story not developing in the familiar direction.

Ning Yunchao was only eighteen, hadn’t all the domineering CEO dramas he’d seen end in the main couple having a genius adorable baby after a one-night stand?

It was unexpected that Ning Yunchao wasn’t quite there yet, and when it came to Wei Yaoyao, he obviously intended to go all out, emptily fabricating nonchalantly:

"But the drunken Bo Bo Chicken insisted on being unruly, and Anna angrily slapped him and even threatened to call the police."

Buddha, let it be, everything is left to the police to resolve.

Seeing the "one-night stand leading to adorable baby" plot about to go astray, He Mingjie, the next speaker, quickly redirected the storyline.

"Fortunately, it was just a misunderstanding later, and Anna and Helian... Bo Bo Chicken... got connected by it. As for their five-year-old son... sigh, it’s quite a fateful story."

After saying this, he blinked at Yu Kuang.

Yu Kuang was furiously thinking, even his eyebrows worked hard.

What the hell was supposed to be such a fateful story?! How should he make one up to count as fateful?!

He really couldn’t make one up, couldn’t speak it even if he wanted to, ultimately only being eliminated.

The speaking time was shortened, passing the baton to Song Xi.

"Originally, Anna regarded Bo Bo Chicken as a friend. Unfortunately, Bo Bo Chicken gradually developed feelings for her, and on a pitch-black rainy night, Bo Bo Chicken drunk again, and Anna sadly stumbled into the wrong room, causing her quite a headache."

The plot seemingly returned to the eighteen-plus theme.

Shu Ran seemed a bit strained, sighed, and said, "After one night, Bo Bo Chicken lost two kidneys."

The next speaker, Xie Qingci, paused in silence: "... Fortunately, Leshan Bo Bo Chicken can have many skewers of kidneys."

"Pffff hahaha, excuse me I can’t hold it in any longer!"

"This book should be titled ’After a Rainy Night Losing Two Kidneys, Anna Got Rich’ hahaha!"

"Hahaha, Anna should appear on a legal awareness show!"

"Xie Qingci, who knew! You’re quite humorous!"

The whole room laughed like alarm clocks.

The eliminated ones laughed on the floor, rolling around, the cameraman holding the camera chuckled along.

Yu Xia laughed uncontrollably, tears welled up in her eyes.

Xie Qingci found it funny himself, tilted his head, fingers unconsciously brushing against his nose tip.

The barrage was also a sea of laughter at this scene.

[After hearing this story, I’d need ten monks praying around me for a year to recover]

[I don’t know if Anna feels headache, but I sure do]

[Did you see that, friends, who invited you might not be a white-horse princess, but indeed a kidney dealer too]

[Hahahahahahaha laughed to the point my wig stood on end]

[Shu Ran, be honest, did you cheat with little notes from Mu Qiu? How could you think of such non-mainstream names?]

[Yu Xia, did you not eat your fill before coming? Are stir-fried pepper steak and Bo Bo Chicken that delicious?]

[Damn it, I must order twenty bucks worth of Bo Bo Chicken, drooling just hearing them]

[Author Tolaski, you often watch legal awareness shows, don’t you?]

[He’s handsome, humorous, simply a God-sent man tailored for me, Xie Qingci, stop begging, I accept your proposal]

[Yesterday, I read ’Is Dreaming Too Much A Problem’, which is just right for the audience in front, recommend it to you]

Having laughed enough, the exciting twist reached Yu Xia.

She contemplated, looked at Xie Qingci, then Shu Ran, and lastly at Ning Yunchao beside her, giving him a look of "Sister can only say sorry to you now."

Ning Yunchao had a bad premonition, hurriedly pleading, "Sister Yu Xia, please, have mercy."

"Our Lotus Gang doesn’t play this way."

Yu Xia waved her hand, then began her fabrication: "Fortunately, Helian Bo Bo Chicken didn’t mind; he thought Anna loved him madly! But Anna didn’t love him, she even said her sole purpose in life was to wholeheartedly contribute to the socialist construction of the motherland!"

Ning Yunchao: ...Cold words, the hotter it gets, quickly join the party.
