Chapter 34: Ling is a love-brain

"It was someone from the Public Security Bureau..."

Ye Qingfeng's mouth twitched as he told the truth.

"Qingfeng, get some rest early. I'm going to sleep, ha—!"

Nico turned and left without a hint of reluctance, covering her mouth as she yawned.

"..."

I give up...

Time to take a shower and sleep. What a miserable day. But I've also learned a truth: the shorter the person, the harder they hit...

He took a comfortable shower, lay happily on the bed, and took out his phone to see if anyone had sent him a message.

First was a message from Zhu Yuan, telling him to send a message when he got home to report he was safe, to rest early, and to remember to apply the medicine.

Ye Qingfeng felt warm inside seeing Zhu Yuan's message. After quickly replying to her, he immediately opened the chat page with Wise.

He was a bit surprised that he would send a message.

The general content was that he had finished watching the videotape he gave him, was very satisfied, and invited him to come over and sit for a while when he had time.

Ye Qingfeng hurriedly agreed. After all, besides being able to increase favorability, he also had the identity of a Proxy, and being on good terms with him was definitely more beneficial than harmful.

There was also a friend request marked as Ling. He had a deep impression of this girl—nosebleeds and fainting, she might not be in good health.

Ye Qingfeng didn't think much and clicked accept. Just as he exited to browse the Inter-Knot for a while, a message from Ling came through.

After reading Ling's message, he was full of question marks...

Inside the video store on Sixth Street, Ling was watching a videotape, but she would glance at her phone from time to time, and the frequency of this action was quite high.

"Ding!"

Ling grabbed her phone abruptly, saw that her friend request had been accepted, ran to the door of Wise's room, pushed the door open, and shouted at the person inside with a face full of excitement:

"Brother! Look, my friend request was accepted!"

"I've told you how many times... can you knock before coming in..."

Wise clutched his chest and complained with a helpless face.

"That's not important, look, look, Qingfeng accepted my friend request!"

Ling excitedly held the phone up to Wise. The moment the screen left her sight for a second, fearing she wouldn't see a message from Ye Qingfeng immediately, she hurriedly pulled her arm back and stared fixedly at the screen.

"I didn't see anything, okay... and I was the one who pushed Qingfeng's contact to you. Sister, what are you trying to say?"

The phone had been held up to Wise for less than two seconds before being taken away; what could he have seen? Besides, Qingfeng replied to his message, did he have to tell everyone?

"By the way, Qingfeng just replied to my message."

Wise shook the phone in front of Ling, the meaning of showing off undeniable. Qingfeng replied to his message first, and only after a while did his sister rush into the room.

Anyone with eyes could see who was more important in Qingfeng's heart!

"What?!!"

Ling was just thinking about how to send the first message of great commemorative value to Ye Qingfeng. Hearing Wise say this, she immediately pounced over, trying to snatch the phone from his hand to see their chat history and use it as a reference.

"Too naive! How could I let you see my chat history with Qingfeng just like that!"

Wise, as if he had anticipated it, dodged Ling's sneak attack with a sidestep, pressed her head down with one hand, and held the phone high with the other, not giving her a single chance.

Ling waved her hands in a spinning motion for a while. Seeing that Wise had no intention of letting her see, she had no choice but to give up.

"Stingy! I'm not being nice to Brother anymore! Hmph!"

Ling pouted, turned her head away, sat on the bed, crossed her arms, and let out a snort.

"I won't let you see it, but Sister, what exactly is the matter?"

Wise didn't let his guard down immediately. Worried that Ling would launch a surprise attack, he locked the phone directly into the safe. Inside was the Dennies he had saved up for so many years. To prevent his sister from spending Dennies recklessly, he hadn't told her the password.

Simply put, his chat history with Ye Qingfeng was quite safe now!

"Nothing... speaking of which, why hasn't Qingfeng replied to my message yet!"

While Wise was locking the phone, Ling had already edited a message and sent it to Ye Qingfeng, staring dead at the screen, afraid she wouldn't see the message immediately.

"Let me see what you sent?" Wise curiously leaned over to Ling's side.

Ling: God! Oh no... Qingfeng, I bought you a white suit. When are you coming over to try it on? See if it fits 【Ling chibi shy emoji】

Ye Qingfeng:?

Wise:?

"Sister... could it be that you've taken a liking to Qingfeng?"

Wise asked as tactfully as possible.

"Eh—! How did Brother find out!" Ling covered her cheeks, blushing. "Speaking of which, why hasn't Qingfeng replied to my message..."

Ye Qingfeng: I... trying on clothes is fine, but I'll find time to visit. Sorry to bother you...

Ling: No bother, no bother! Send a message when you're coming, I'll pick you up!! 【Heart heart】

Wise: It's over, why has my sister become a love-brain?!

Ye Qingfeng: She likes me, right? Are girls nowadays this direct?

The sleepiness that had just risen vanished in an instant. Although he had this suspicion, it hadn't been confirmed yet!

Of course, asking the person directly was definitely not an option. What if Ling said: "You're overthinking it! I would like someone like you..."

It wasn't great to bother Sister Nico at this time either...

So there was only one choice left!

'Little Zhi, Little Zhi! You say...'

【Bothering me at this time... you must be ready to die!!】

'Calm... calm down! I have good news!'

Ye Qingfeng broke into a cold sweat, trembling as he muttered to himself.

He suddenly realized that the system being this human-like wasn't necessarily a good thing...

【It better be! Otherwise... hmph hmph!】

'Ling seems to like me! But I'm not very sure...'

【Tell me quickly! What happened!】

Ye Qingfeng's mouth twitched involuntarily. It was mainly because he really hadn't expected the system to react so intensely. Just a moment ago, it was in a tone of wanting to kill him, and now it was in a tone of eager gossip.

He still explained the situation to the system and took his phone to his face so the system could see his chat history with Ling.

Ooh ooh—! Didn't expect Sister Ling to have a stalker attribute! Incredible, incredible!

'So? See anything?! Don't just stay silent!!'

Seeing the system not making a sound for a long time, Ye Qingfeng's heart jumped to his throat.

【There's a chance! But I'll remind you, if you're too direct, be careful of the opposite effect. You still need to slowly build favorability, but since she already likes you, this process won't be too slow.】

'No problem! Hehehe! My charm that has nowhere to be placed!'

Ye Qingfeng lay on the bed, giggling, not even noticing the drool flowing out.

【Hehe...】

Half... no, more than half is my credit, okay!

Forget this idiot, I'm going to get my beauty sleep.

(Now confirmed to be captured are Ling, Anbi, Nico, and Zhu Yuan. I'm collecting requests from readers for who to see next.) ===== CHAPTER 35 =====
