Just when Ren Suo thought the game was about to switch to a romance simulation, the female shopkeeper's automated reply was very decisive:
"What are you talking about?"
The female shopkeeper tilted her head, looking at him as she spoke in clear, standard Mandarin.
Unexpectedly, the man in red was no pushover either. He immediately responded in Mandarin that, while a bit peculiar, was understandable to an ordinary person, "Please, go out with me."
After a moment of silence, the game automatically displayed a dialogue box, along with a prompt:
"Player has triggered a special event: Sudden Love. Depending on the player's response, different subsequent events will be triggered. Please speak cautiously (silence is also considered a form of speech)."
Does this mean I have to pretend to be a girl and date him?
"Sorry, you're too ugly. I refuse."
