Chapter 13: Host, I feel like the second male lead has a crush on you

Luo Xixi: "..."

Family, who gets it? Suddenly turned off, anyone else?

She did indeed like good-looking people, but this kind of person who is handsome and knows it felt inexplicably greasy, and then her stomach started churning; if not for the thought that this person was a sociopath, even more ruthless than the Male Lead, Luo Xixi would have had to vomit again.

"Hehe, um, sir, your face is quite good-looking, but it seems we aren't familiar with each other, could you move aside a bit?"

There was a wall behind Luo Xixi, so she couldn't dodge, and could only sidestep.

Yan Yu noticed Luo Xixi's resistance; his figure paused slightly, his bright eyes flickered, then he straightened up and put some distance between himself and Luo Xixi. The greasiness from just before was gone, and he smiled at Luo Xixi with great tact and grace, saying:

"Apologies, the one calling out inside earlier was my assistant. Because I wanted to get some air alone and was afraid he would ask you for my whereabouts after you went out, I dragged you over without considering your wishes. Just now, seeing you staring straight at me, I thought you were a fan of mine, so I teased you a bit. I hope you don't mind."

"Oh, it's fine, it's fine."

Seeing the second male lead suddenly change from a greasy man to a normal person, Luo Xixi couldn't help but sigh; the second male lead is truly a sociopath, his personality changes as fast as flipping a book.

"Are you also out to get some air?"

Yan Yu asked with a smile.

"..." Luo Xixi glanced at Yan Yu. She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she always felt that the second male lead was trying to get close to her right now.

But how could that be?

The second male lead also belongs to the Female Lead. According to the tropes, apart from the Female Lead, the second male lead wouldn't deign to look at another woman.

"Are you very afraid of me? It seems my actions just now frightened you."

Because Luo Xixi didn't respond, Yan Yu blinked at her again, looking apologetic.

Tsk.

It really feels like he's trying to get close to her, doesn't it!

She is really so scared, eh.

【Tong'er, what is the situation with the second male lead? He is supposed to be a villain too, can we see his Attribute Panel?】

The Baby System came online and answered Luo Xixi weakly: 【I'm sorry, Host, the second male lead is also a high-level character. Our mission is to save the Cannon Fodder villains; the second male lead does not fall into this category. To open the Attribute Panel, you need to complete missions to earn points to unlock it.】

【What? I have to do missions? Then forget it.】

Luo Xixi gave up immediately.

【Host, you...】

The system was so helpless. The ambition that hadn't been completely extinguished made it try to probe Luo Xixi once more: 【According to the plot, the second male lead is the culprit who caused the Luo Family's ruin. If we can activate the second male lead's conquest mode, there is hope to fundamentally change the ending of the Luo Family's destruction.】

But Luo Xixi wasn't as optimistic as the system: 【Tong'er, you are too naive. The second male lead is the object of the Female Lead's key conquest. Are you trying to snatch someone from the Male Lead's hands? Think about the third brother; suddenly his hatred for me reached the maximum level. Are you sure the second male lead won't suddenly hate me to the bone?】

【This...】

【Be good, let's just honestly slack off. Leave the hard work to the Female Lead.】

【Sob, okay... (ㄒoㄒ)】

The Baby System was defeated by Luo Xixi's glib tongue once again.

"Sorry, sir, I'm not your fan. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone you're here. Feel free to get your air here, breathe however you like, no one will disturb you."

As Luo Xixi spoke, she retreated into the hallway. Seeing that Yan Yu didn't follow, she immediately turned around and walked away quickly.

After Luo Xixi had walked far away.

The smile on Yan Yu's face faded a bit, and a touch of helplessness appeared in the depths of his eyes.

Luo Xixi looked back, and after seeing that Yan Yu's figure was completely gone, she slowed down, caught her breath, and muttered, "Scared me to death, good thing he didn't follow."

【Host, I feel like the second male lead has a crush on you.】

The Baby System encouraged her secretly.

Luo Xixi was surprised: 【A system like you can have 'feelings'?】

The Baby System said unconvinced: 【Although we are artificial intelligence, we are also evolutionary AI. As long as the data is vast enough, it is possible to evolve biological emotions. Like those systems that have gone through many missions, because their data is rich enough, they can all simulate human emotions!】

【That settles it then, those who can simulate emotions are all systems that have done many missions. What do you, a Baby System, know? Don't mislead your host, okay?】

The Baby System was almost angered to tears by Luo Xixi, 【Although I am a Newborn System, our team leader said that my innate perception ability is stronger than other systems. Host, don't look down on me!】

Seeing that the Baby System's voice even had a crying tone, Luo Xixi didn't want to actually make her system cry, so she hurriedly coaxed: 【Alright, alright, our Tong'er is the best. Let's just assume the second male lead has feelings for me, but what if it's the kind of feeling a pervert has for his prey? Wouldn't I die even more miserably then?】

【Ah? Really?】

The Baby System couldn't analyze this point yet.

Luo Xixi pressed her advantage, 【This is entirely possible. And you don't even have the plot for my contact with the second male lead right now, so how can you guarantee things will develop in the direction we expect?】

【That may be so, but if we work a little harder...】

【Can't work hard at all. Tong'er, I have great self-awareness regarding my level of uselessness. I'm just a little piece of trash, the kind that will go into shock if I try to work hard.】

Seeing Luo Xixi introduce herself with such confidence, the Baby System went numb.

【Oh...】

【Alright, the topic regarding the second male lead ends here.】

After persuading the system, Luo Xixi was full of pride and satisfaction, and she walked toward the private room with her head held high.

Who knew.

She hadn't even gone in yet.

The door to the private room opened first.

A man with a straight figure and a slender build walked out from inside.

As soon as Luo Xixi saw him, she couldn't help but want to vomit again.

Oh my!

It really is a narrow road for enemies; how could she run into the Male Lead, who looks just like that dirty thing, again?

Luo Xixi could only bite the bullet and greet him, "Hello, President Sheng."

Sheng Tinglan looked at Luo Xixi's fake smiling face, his expression changing unpredictably. He didn't respond, just stared at her deeply, as if he wanted to see through to the depths of her soul.

Luo Xixi was numb.

What is wrong with both this male lead and the second male lead?

Why do they both have to make things difficult for her?

Fortunately, her eldest brother Luo Xichuan immediately came over and called out to her, "Xixi."

"Eldest brother!"

Luo Xixi hurriedly walked toward Luo Xichuan.

Luo Xichuan shielded Luo Xixi behind him and exchanged polite pleasantries with Sheng Tinglan: "President Sheng, then we shall excuse ourselves first."

Having said that.

He took Luo Xixi and left.

Luo Xixi followed by Luo Xichuan's side and asked, "Eldest brother, are we leaving just like this?"

"Mm, I have already greeted the people inside."

Watching the Luo Family siblings walking further and further away, Sheng Tinglan slowly withdrew his gaze, and then—

【System, let me ask you something.】

【Ding—】

Hearing the familiar system notification sound, 【Host, please ask.】
