116. Chapter 116: The Male Lead Isn't Pursuing the Matter?

Listening to Yan Yu's tone, Luo Xixi felt he was currently very irritable and angry, and she assumed he felt she had caused trouble and dragged him down.

However, putting herself in his shoes, her own actions were indeed not very kind; she had promised him she would go home obediently but instead ran over to Sheng Tinglan's place to stir up trouble, and in the end, she hadn't even succeeded and had exposed herself. Who wouldn't call that a "pig teammate" upon hearing it?

Therefore, Luo Xixi didn't really have the right to be angry at Yan Yu.

She took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I'll take responsibility for my own actions. If Sheng Tinglan really wants to deal with me, I'll take all the blame upon myself, or you can surrender to them and see if they might let you off the hook..."

However.

Before Luo Xixi could finish speaking, Yan Yu angrily interrupted her, "Luo Xixi, is there something wrong with your brain? At a time like this, you're still pushing me away? If I really surrendered to the other side, do you think you could handle it alone? Are you trying to die?"

Luo Xixi: "!!!"

Ever since this dog of a person hinted to her that he was Qiyuan, he had become increasingly impolite when speaking to her! Before, he would call her "Xixi, Xixi" with such a sweet mouth, but now his true colors were showing, right? He was just as much of a dog as he was in the previous life!

She said indignantly, "Then what do you want me to do? I've already done what I did, and it's too late to regret it, but you still have a chance to get away. I told you to stop worrying about me and save yourself—what did I say wrong? You're the one with something wrong with your brain! Your whole family has something wrong with their brains!"

"You know full well that I'm the only one in my family, don't you?"

Yan Yu retorted, then added irritably, "Besides, if I don't worry about you, who will? Should I just watch you die? Why are you so good at making people angry?!"

Luo Xixi was also about to be angered into laughter, "When did I make you angry? Wasn't I thinking of you?"

Yan Yu said in a cold voice, "Oh, so you can make me this angry while 'thinking of me'? You really are just wonderful, aren't you!"

Luo Xixi: "!!!!"

Damn it!

This goddamn dog of a thief—if he were in front of her right now, she would definitely beat him up!!

While listening to Luo Xixi and Yan Yu bickering like elementary school students, the Baby System secretly grumbled to itself: These two really are like those naive, childish school-romance couples... Host, you and the second male lead have really walked into the wrong theater!

On the other side.

"What did you say?! The surveillance is gone?"

After Luo Shiqing accompanied Sheng Tinglan to have the wounds on his wrists bandaged, the two went to the residential complex's security department to pull the surveillance footage, but by this time, the footage had long since been hacked by Luo Xixi, so when they went to investigate, all they saw were hacked screens.

Luo Shiqing nearly fainted from anger on the spot, gritting her teeth as she looked at the security guard and said, "Don't you have any backup surveillance? It was hacked so easily—is your security system just for show?!"

The security guard was also very helpless and said, "We've already had our technicians look at it; it's all permanent damage and cannot be repaired at all. The technicians said the other party's hacking skills are very strong, the hard drives are completely ruined, and there's basically no way to recover them. This system of ours is worth millions, but now it's become like this—we're very helpless too..."

Hearing the security guard shirking responsibility at a time like this, Luo Shiqing sneered repeatedly and said, "So you mean you're blaming us for causing trouble and destroying your million-dollar equipment, is that it?"

The security guard said innocently, "That's not for us to say. The manager in charge will talk to you about it later."

Luo Shiqing: "!!!"

This bunch of damn NPCs—they're just characters set up by the system, yet they're so difficult to deal with!!

Luo Shiqing still wanted to argue with the security guard to see if they could find someone to recover the footage—after all, this was the decisive evidence to take down Luo Xixi—but who would have thought that before she could even speak, the quiet Sheng Tinglan said calmly to the security guard, "If you can't find it, then forget it. I'll have someone talk to your manager about the losses."

After saying this.

The man turned and left.

"Tinglan!!"

Seeing Sheng Tinglan leave, Luo Shiqing hurried to catch up.

She walked quickly to the man's side, walked in step with him, and said in a low voice, "Tinglan, are you just going to let this matter go? Sister ran over to hurt you tonight, yet she didn't leave a single piece of evidence. If you let it slide this time and she gets a taste of success, I don't know what she'll do next. Sigh... if I had known the surveillance would be hacked, we should have..."

But before Luo Shiqing could finish her sentence, Sheng Tinglan suddenly turned his head to look at her, and he asked out of the blue, "Should I not have gone to check my injuries first? If I had known, I would have gone to check the surveillance immediately."

!!!

Sensing that the man seemed somewhat doubtful and unhappy, Luo Shiqing felt a shock in her heart and hurriedly blinked at Sheng Tinglan, revealing a tender, watery expression, and said innocently:

"Tinglan, that's not what I meant. I just feel that you've been wronged like this. Sister is so willful and reckless, suddenly trespassing and hurting people, and we can't even convict her—isn't this just fueling her arrogance? If she suddenly runs over again later, are we supposed to endure it every time? It's not that I don't care about your injuries; I just hate myself for not thinking it through completely. If I had just said something to the security department while you were getting your injuries checked, we wouldn't have ended up in this situation. Actually, it's all my fault, it's my mistake..."

As she spoke, Luo Shiqing was about to cry like a beauty in the rain.

If it were before, Sheng Tinglan might have considered the plot and cooperated by comforting Luo Shiqing a few times, but today his mind was full of Luo Xixi's image; he didn't want to care about any damn plot, nor did he want to pay attention to Luo Shiqing.

Therefore, the man didn't say anything, just swept a faint glance at Luo Shiqing, and then continued walking forward.

"Tinglan!"

Seeing the man walking ahead, Luo Shiqing called out to him in disbelief, but Sheng Tinglan didn't even stop to wait for her, which made Luo Shiqing feel even more bizarre.

【What's going on! Tinglan is actually ignoring me! He clearly wasn't like this before!!】

At this moment.

The Heartthrob System came online and said to Luo Shiqing speechlessly: 【Host, I know you're anxious to get rid of that supporting female character Luo Xixi, but you can't completely disregard the male lead's feelings either. As the female lead, nothing in your heart should be more important than the male lead. Now that he's injured, you're acting like you care more about how to take down Luo Xixi—it's normal for the male lead to be unhappy.】

Hearing the Heartthrob System's roast, Luo Shiqing felt a bit guilty and said irritably: 【I'm just angry, okay? That bitch Luo Xixi actually dared to hurt Tinglan—isn't it natural that I want to take her down quickly? But that doesn't mean I don't love Tinglan! Fine, fine, I guess my approach was wrong. I repent, I'll go apologize to him right now.】

After all, Luo Shiqing really did love Sheng Tinglan, regardless of the male and female lead settings.

So she also hoped that she could be well with Sheng Tinglan. After taking a deep breath, Luo Shiqing hurriedly caught up to Sheng Tinglan, took the man's arm proactively, and acted like a spoiled child: "Tinglan, wait for me..."
