"No, no, it was last night when you were... fussing with me from behind. Although it was indeed a bit small, you can't say it wasn't there..." (Hu Tao looks so pitiful, I can't bear it... but this isn't a lie...)
"Really? (இ﹏இ;)"
"Hey! Don't be sad, Hu Tao, I'm not lying to you!" Hearing Hu Tao's wronged voice, Ying immediately panicked, completely unaware that she had already released the hand that was holding Hu Tao.
"Swear it? q﹏q"
"Really, really! I promise!"
"Alright then... I'll believe you this once..."
"Mhm mhm!" Seeing that Hu Tao believed her, Ying finally relaxed, and the worry in her heart gradually faded.
"Let me tell you something, Ying."
"Hm? What is it?"
"It's that this director is actually very busy. I have to recommend businesses for people every day. I might have lost a few deals for you a few days ago."
"Uh... and then..." (It doesn't seem like you would lose any deals...)
"And since this director is very busy, I might not be able to come find you often. So, you have to remember to come find me often, and don't just focus on being intimate with your sister~"
"I'll visit often... And that's not intimacy! It's mutual assistance!" (I still can't accept that I'm the submissive one)
"Give up. No matter how you look at it, the host isn't the dominant one. Just be a cute little thing~"
(I don't want to (t^t))
"Okay, okay... mutual assistance, mutual assistance~ I'll tell you one last thing, which is..."
"Hm?" Seeing Hu Tao wave at her, Ying instinctively leaned her little head over.
"You let go of my hand~"
"Huh? Hand? Whoa?!" Before Ying could react, Hu Tao flipped over and pinned her down.
"Hehe~ Got caught, didn't you~" Hu Tao patted Ying's little face and looked at her with a mischievous grin.
"Wait, wait, wait! Didn't you say you didn't dare?"
"This is called a delaying tactic~ You can't relax until your opponent has completely lost their fighting strength!"
"Wuwu... You actually deceived my pure feelings... I can't believe I trusted you so much (t^t)"
"Hehe~ All's fair in love and war. You were having a great time bullying me earlier~"
"I, I, I... I was forced to retaliate..."
"Hmph~ I don't care. This director only knows that you had a lot of fun bullying me earlier (￣へ￣)"
"Then... I was also worn out by you yesterday and fell asleep..."
"Damn it, I didn't expect Ying to bring up old scores (｀^´)"
"How did something that happened yesterday become an old score!"
"Hehe~ Alright, alright. Seeing how pitiful you were yesterday, I'll forgive you this time~"
"You know I was pitiful yesterday too (ᗜ˰ᗜ)" Ying stared at Hu Tao with a look of grievance.
"Aiya~ Don't be so unhappy. This director will be more careful next time."
"Next time..."
"Hehe~ Let's go, let's go. I'll show you my workplace later. You have to come find me often from now on~"
"Mhm mhm, I definitely will!"
After washing up, the two left the inn. Hu Tao pulled Ying and ran all the way to the entrance of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor! (It's definitely not because the host was afraid of being sent away that she didn't dare to go in~).
If anyone asks why it feels like a lot of the plot is missing... the system can only say that the author was punished~
Hu Tao: "Did you understand all the taboos I told you just now?"
"I know, I know. Don't look in the mirror at midnight, don't go to a deserted place without streetlights between two or three in the morning, light incense and candles, don't..."
"Mhm~ I didn't expect your memory to be so good, Ying."
"Hehe~ Of course~" (I can't tell her that I could find this stuff with a quick search on Baidu before, right?)
"Then this director will go recruit clients. Ying, you go complete your tasks too. I'll come find you tonight~"
"Okay, okay, I'll make sure to entertain your customer well tonight! Customer! (￣へ￣)"
"Hehe~ You know that~"
"Sigh... And you can't mess around these two days. I still have to go to the Rite of Descension the day after tomorrow. If you make me oversleep, I'll deal with you!"
"Why not tonight?"
"You hit too hard and I'm afraid I won't be able to take it."
"Hahaha~ Don't worry, don't worry~ This director knows her limits~"
"Hmph... If it weren't for the circumstances, I wouldn't trust you. Don't let me down," Ying said, warning for a long time before reluctantly heading towards the Adventurers' Guild with unease...
"Sigh... still not at ease... If I don't meet up with Ying the day after tomorrow..." Ying replayed the memories of being cared for by Ying in her mind...
"Terrifying!!"
"No, no, no matter what happens, there can be no accidents! (≧﹏≦)"
Just as Ying was trembling, she suddenly felt something embrace her foot. She curiously looked down and saw a small... um... zombie with a talisman on its head!
"Huh? Are you... Qiqi?"
"Please... help Qiqi... hide... Hu Tao is scary over there..."
"Scary Hu Tao... Ah! Okay, you can hide in that box over there for now," Ying said after looking around, pointing to a small box.
"Mhm... Thank you." Hearing the instructions, Qiqi quickly ran over and squeezed into the box.
"Qiqi, Qiqi, Qiqi... Ah~ Ying!" Just as Qiqi hid, Hu Tao ran out from a nearby street. After looking around, although she didn't find Qiqi, she spotted Ying and hurried over.
"Aren't you supposed to be recommending business?"
"Mhm mhm, this director was doing a good job recommending business, but then I suddenly saw Qiqi and wanted to go talk to her. But she ran away as soon as she saw me... Oh, right! Qiqi is a zombie~"
"Uh... so you're going to dig a hole and bury her..."
"Not at all! Although this director did think about it before... I've reformed now! But it's a shame Qiqi is afraid of me (ー△ー)"
"Nonsense, you were going to bury her in the ground before! It's strange if she's not afraid of you!"
"I didn't know back then... (*￣з￣)"
"Sigh... You have to take it slow. Don't be so eager to chat with her as soon as you meet, you know?"
"Mhm mhm, what else?" Hu Tao asked, staring intently at Ying.
"Also... uh... maybe give her something she likes as an apology gift. But if she's still scared after apologizing, you have to stay away immediately. If you keep doing this, she might lower her guard a little?"
