I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 136 - 136: 136: Remove the First Character

An unknown small white round table held delicate English teaware and a golden three-tiered dessert stand. On the first tier was a savoury sandwich, the second tier had scones with cream and strawberry jam, and on the third tier were pretty little cakes.

Such a non-human creature, surprisingly, was deeply familiar with human customs and was indulging in them.

Seeing Shen MO and Bai Youwei return, it paused, slightly surprised, before placing down its tea cup and rising graciously from its seat.

“It appears you two have chosen your flowers already, much sooner than I expected.” It glanced down at its wrist, though there was no watch to be found, “Hmm… You only took forty-five minutes, less than an hour.”

After finishing, the Inspector looked at them sceptically, asking, “Are you certain you’ve chosen the flowers you wanted?”

Shen MO found all these contrivances in the game rather bothersome, so he didn’t pick up on the Inspector’s prompt and directly asked, “Can we put them in the vases now?”

The Inspector was slightly taken aback, “Of course you can.”

Shen MO placed a peony in one of the vases, and then helped Bai Youwei place her lotus flower as well.

The Inspector’s gaze lingered between the two of them, filled with curiosity.

It approached Bai Youwei, intentionally striking up a conversation: “This lovely lady, your flower is beautiful. It seems you hold the winning ticket for this game, don’t you?”

Bai Youwei replied with a smile, “Not at all, I think his Peony Flower is prettier. After all, the peony is known as the King of Flowers.”

Shen Mo: ‘

The Inspector squinted his eyes, sizing up the flower that Shen MO brought back, “Hmm… Miss, you must be mistaken. The peony is a woody plant, and this flower is obviously a herbaceous plant. The flower head is round and large, the flower color is soft and delicate, the petal texture is tender… This is a variety of peony that was bred a hundred years ago.”

Bai Youwei blinked, “You’re quite knowledgeable. So, is the judging criterion based on the variety of flowers?”

“Of course not, the judging criteria are….” The Inspector paused mid-sentence, apparently realizing that Bai Youwei was trying to get information out of him. He chuckled, “Miss, you are very unique. I can smell a familiar scent on you.”

Bai Youwei, with a serious face, responded, “I think your language learning system needs to be upgraded. Otherwise, you should know that casually telling a girl such things really makes you sound like a pervert.”

The Inspector: .

Bai Youwei turned her head to look at Shen MO, raising her arm to him, “Feel this; I have goosebumps. He said it smelled something in my scent. How nauseating! ”

Her soft, white and tender arm glistened. Shen MO casually brushed her hand back, “That is quite disturbing.”

The corner of the Inspector’s eye twitched.

It was the first time he has ever encountered such eccentric duo in all these games he has overseen.

He began, “Miss, I think…

“Could you stop calling me ‘Miss’ all the time?” Bai Youwei interrupted him.

The Inspector pursed his lips, trying hard to maintain an elegant smile, “Then, how should I address you?”

Bai Youwei thought for a moment, suggesting in a negotiating tone, “How about you drop the first word?”

The Inspector: .

Shen Mo’s lips curved into an almost imperceptible smile. He lightly ruffled Bai

Youwei’s hair, “Be careful not to upset him.”

“I’m just joking.” Bai Youwei replied innocently, “This time the Inspector’s form is very humanoid, so it seems like we can carry on a conversation like normal people. You can’t blame me.”

“Quite an interesting joke.” The Inspector replied with a smile, though there was an icy cold look in his sea-blue eyes, “However, we Inspectors did not take on humanoid forms deliberately. We merely choose forms that are convenient for players to understand.”

Bai Youwei pondered for a moment, “So you’re saying if you were to reveal your true form, it would be an existence difficult for humans to understand?”
