Chapter 33: Nico wants to stand up for the bruised and battered Ye Qingfeng?

Even if Zhu Yuan's reaction was slow, she still sensed that something was off between the two, though she had never thought in that direction. After all, aside from their one meeting, the relationship between Senior Qing Yi and Ye Qingfeng was no different from that of strangers.

Could it be that they were the type who just didn't get along? Zhu Yuan couldn't help but feel a bit troubled.

"So, what is going on with you two?"

Zhu Yuan sat in the middle of the two with a gloomy face, arms crossed as she asked.

"It's this guy who keeps provoking me!"

Qing Yi stood up abruptly, pointed at Ye Qingfeng, and spoke first.

Although Ye Qingfeng already knew the truth, it didn't feel right to treat someone whose mental age was much older than his own like a child...

Besides, no one had told him! Not only that, this little loli whose height only reached his chest was actually a...

Not only that, she was also a robot. If one didn't pay close attention, one might not notice the difference at her joints.

Had technology become this advanced? In Ye Qingfeng's subconscious, someone like Billy was what you called a robot, okay!

Most importantly, she was so old! And she suddenly attacked him! That was simply lacking in martial virtue!

Then again... what material was this? It was too realistic!

"Where did I provoke you!"

Ye Qingfeng rubbed his face, which was still throbbing with pain. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and he retorted loudly at Qing Yi.

"Stop arguing!"

Zhu Yuan's cold voice reached their ears.

Seeing this, Qing Yi sat back down huffily and rolled her eyes at Ye Qingfeng.

Ye Qingfeng was not to be outdone; he made faces and stuck his tongue out at Qing Yi.

Qing Yi silently raised her clenched right fist and shook it at him, full of threats.

"Zhu Yuan, look at him!"

Ye Qingfeng knew he couldn't beat Qing Yi, so he hurriedly hid behind Zhu Yuan to report him openly.

"Hmph!"

Seeing this, Qing Yi had no choice but to put away her fist, letting out a disdainful snort.

For some reason, Zhu Yuan felt a headache coming on; she raised her hands to her temples and rubbed them.

Clearly, both of them were mature and reliable figures in her heart, so why did they become so childish the moment they met!!

"Qingfeng!"

"Yes!"

"You apologize to Senior Qing Yi first." Zhu Yuan decided to let Ye Qingfeng yield first, but fearing he wouldn't be convinced, she pushed the responsibility onto herself. "Actually, it's my fault too for not explaining it clearly. My mistake."

"Fine, for Zhu Yuan's sake, I won't hold it against someone." Ye Qingfeng curled his lips, and though reluctant, he said, "Sorry... I shouldn't have treated you like a child..."

"Senior Qing Yi, you should also apologize for your behavior of hitting people."

Qing Yi poured another cup of tea, took a small sip, and said flatly without looking up, "Sorry... I shouldn't have hit anyone..."

"Not a shred of sincerity."

Ye Qingfeng muttered softly. Zhu Yuan, sitting beside him, heard this and, worried that the two would start fighting again, hurriedly urged them to eat.

The waiter had successfully finished serving the dishes during those few minutes of silence.

In the time that followed, Qing Yi didn't eat much, spending most of her time drinking tea, while Ye Qingfeng and Zhu Yuan chatted while eating. Soon, this unpleasant meal came to an end.

In short... Ye Qingfeng was angry because Qing Yi had suddenly rushed up and beaten him up; that was the main reason for his anger.

Qing Yi's anger actually had little to do with Ye Qingfeng treating her like a child; in fact, she found that feeling quite special. The main reason was...

That sentence he blurted out: "You're old enough to be my grandmother, stop pretending to be young!"

(This was the protagonist speaking subconsciously to the system; Qing Yi thought he was talking about her.)

When had she ever pretended to be young! Furthermore, Ye Qingfeng had emphasized her age so loudly!

Even if she was a robot, she was still female! She was very sensitive about her age!

"Let's go, let's go to the hospital to buy some medicine for bruises." Zhu Yuan pulled Ye Qingfeng, who was preparing to leave, and with her other hand, she pulled Qing Yi, who was leaving in the opposite direction. "Senior Qing Yi, Qingfeng's injuries were caused by you, where are you planning to go?"

"I didn't even use any force! I'm going back to char..." Qing Yi pointed at the still handsome Ye Qingfeng, wanting to refuse, but thinking that this would leave him alone with Zhu Yuan, she changed her tone. "Fine... after all, I was the one who beat him."

This time, no further accidents occurred. Besides the redness and swelling on half of his face, she unexpectedly discovered multiple bruises on his body. Qing Yi subconsciously assumed she had caused them, and a trace of guilt suddenly rose in her heart.

With this, her dissatisfaction with Ye Qingfeng vanished into thin air.

【Beep! Qing Yi's favorability increased by 5%. Current favorability: 0%】

Hearing the notification, Ye Qingfeng glanced at Qing Yi in surprise. She instantly turned her head away, a gesture that left him feeling suspicious. After the doctor gave a few instructions and prescribed some medicine, Qing Yi suddenly rushed to pay the Dennies.

Ye Qingfeng carried the plastic bag and waved goodbye to the two.

The sky had completely darkened by now. He walked alone on the street, muttering to himself, "Bad luck... why is today so unlucky? First, I got beaten up by Anbi, and then I got pinned to the ground and beaten up!"

"Right!"

'At that time, I didn't do anything, so why did Qing Yi's favorability increase?'

He suddenly remembered the inexplicable favorability broadcast back at the hospital. Didn't it emphasize before that favorability wouldn't increase if he didn't take action?

【Perhaps Qing Yi saw your injuries and felt a bit guilty.】

"Can it even work like that?"

It was also because Qing Yi didn't know he had already been beaten by Anbi before she hit him. Seeing that she still had a conscience, he decided to forgive her magnanimously.

Without realizing it, Ye Qingfeng returned to the entrance of the Rabbit House and knocked on the door.

He had asked Sister Nico for a key before, but she had sternly refused, saying that getting another key would cost Dennies.

After waiting for a long time with no movement, he took out his phone, just about to send a message, when the door suddenly opened. A jade hand reached out, grabbed his wrist, and pulled him in violently without any warning.

Ye Qingfeng stumbled forward several steps before stopping. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, he saw Sister Nico poke her head out, look left and right, and quickly close the door.

"Sister Nico, what happened?"

"Nothing, just afraid that debt collectors might be ambushing at the door. It was so hard to shake them off today..." Nico turned her head, saw Ye Qingfeng's red and swollen face, and without finishing her sentence, burst into laughter. "Hahahahaha, how did you get so swollen?"

"Oh my... tell me, who bullied you? We'll help you get revenge."

Nico clutched her stomach and laughed on the floor for a good while before slowly standing up. It was mainly because she was used to seeing his handsome face, and seeing half of it like this felt inexplicably jarring.

"No, I just fell accidentally..."

Ye Qingfeng thought, *Is it really that bad? * He raised his hand and touched it lightly, causing him to gasp in pain. He felt that if he said he was beaten by a 1.4-meter-tall person who could actually be his grandmother, she would probably laugh until she couldn't breathe.

"Who would believe that! It's okay, tell me boldly! I'll stand up for you!"

Nico patted Ye Qingfeng on the shoulder and said sharply. ===== CHAPTER 34 =====
