Chapter 1572: Rubik's Cube Beauty (34)

This place was truly cursed. Zhai Chenming always felt that he was fundamentally incompatible with it. Nothing ever went smoothly for him here.

If those villains who had occupied the seesaw had been in his own world, he would have made sure they could no longer survive in society.

Unfortunately, this was the bizarre Rubik's Cube World. All he had were his own two hands. He no longer possessed wealth that rivaled nations, nor did he have overwhelming strength. Even insignificant nobodies could bully him, leaving him feeling unbearably stifled.

Tang Guo caught sight of Zhai Chenming lowering his head out of the corner of her eye. She knew that his heart was filled with humiliation and misery.

It made sense. Having spent his life as heaven's favored son, how could he adapt to a life where anyone and everyone could trample over him?

Back then, Zhai Chenming had only managed to reach Trade City because of the original host's cheat-like ability.

Tang Guo found herself somewhat curious. Without her, would the world's rules not provide Zhai Chenming with another cheat? As the male protagonist, that seemed rather unreasonable.

The System thought, What's so unreasonable about it? Since the Host is here, it's perfectly normal for the male lead's halo to disappear.

"Make yourself a bed on the floor and sleep there."

Inside the room, Tang Guo spoke to Gong Wei.

Gong Wei lightly raised his brows. "Where are you going?"

"Next door. To chat with my two friends."

"I'm going with you." Gong Wei answered without hesitation. Afraid she might refuse, he added, "You promised before. I can stay by your side all the time."

"City Lord Gong, I never realized before that you were such a shameless person."

No matter how much Tang Guo mocked him, Gong Wei simply stood up and walked to her side, extending his arm before her. "You should lean on me as usual. You've been doing that for an entire month. If you suddenly don't have anyone to lean on, won't you find it uncomfortable?"

Tang Guo smiled and rested her hand on his arm. "Have you figured out the answer to that question yet?"

"What question?"

"You said before that something about you felt strange and that you thought I'd cultivated some secret technique. If I really had cultivated one, what were you planning to do about it?"

Gong Wei remembered. To be honest, he had never thought about it.

What would he do? Right now, he simply couldn't control himself from looking at her.

Whatever she wanted to do, he only had one thought—to satisfy her.

Gong Wei suddenly remembered that Tang Guo had lent Yi Yingxue fifty thousand Rubik's Cube Coins today. A Rubik's Cube spatial ring appeared in his hand, and he placed it into Tang Guo's palm.

"Take this."

"What is it?" Tang Guo held the ring, asking despite knowing the answer. Smiling, she said, "An engagement ring?"

"No..." Gong Wei had only uttered a single word when inspiration suddenly struck him, and he immediately changed his tune. "If that's what you think it is, then it is."

He glanced at the ring. The design was quite beautiful. Fortunately, the one he had taken out was a premium item. At least he hadn't casually fished out some ordinary ring from a Rubik's Cube pouch and handed it to her.

"Why is it filled with Rubik's Cube Coins? Why are you giving them to me?"

Gong Wei coughed lightly. "Don't you like buying pretty dresses and little accessories? This should be enough for you to buy things in every city over the next few months."

"You think I'm lacking Rubik's Cube Coins?"

"No." Gong Wei had never thought that she lacked money. After all, the City Lord of Trade City was the richest among all the city lords in the Rubik's Cube World.

The corners of Tang Guo's lips curved upward. "Then why are you still giving me Rubik's Cube Coins?"

"I didn't think about it that much. I just wanted to give them to you." Gong Wei's brows knitted slightly. "So, what secret technique did you cultivate?"

Tang Guo slipped the ring onto her finger and smiled as she admired the exquisite ring.
