148. Chapter 148: Are They Lovers or Comrades-in-Arms?

【Contact His Excellency Yehruohua?】

The "Help You Reach the Peak of Life" System asked unexpectedly: 【Host, what are you trying to do?】

Sheng Tinglan said in a deep voice: 【I have my own plans; you don't need to ask so much. Just find a way to help me contact Yehruohua.】

The System hesitated and said: 【My level is too low; it is very likely I cannot see His Excellency Yehruohua.】

【Then find a way to contact a middleman! Just tell them this: I am a Transmigrator in the same Book World as Luo Xixi, and I can help it.】

【This...】

Hearing Sheng Tinglan say this, the "Help You Reach the Peak of Life" System was still hesitant: 【Host, what exactly are you planning? What you are doing now is unheard of to me; it doesn't comply with the regulations at all.】

【Does what Mijia is doing comply with the regulations?】

Sheng Tinglan countered.

【This...】

Sheng Tinglan's words directly choked the "Help You Reach the Peak of Life" System.

Indeed.

If His Excellency Mijia truly ignored the Shouxu rules and gave power to a Transmigrator, then he had certainly violated the rules. Now, the other party's behavior had seriously affected the progress of its Host in executing missions, and as a system, its primary duty was to assist the Host in completing their tasks.

After being bombarded by a round of Sheng Tinglan's logical sophistry, the "Help You Reach the Peak of Life" System compromised and said: 【Alright, Host, I will do my best to help you contact His Excellency Yehruohua!】

On the other end.

Luo Xixi's parents were still in a daze because of Sheng Tinglan's sudden visit and the fact that their daughter Luo Xixi had suddenly and forcefully dragged him away. As a result, before they could even digest the previous events, they saw their daughter Luo Xixi return. However, the person who returned with her was not Sheng Tinglan, but had changed to another scandal target from last night, Yan Yu.

"Mom, Dad, I'm back."

Luo Xixi said to the Luo Family parents.

"Xixi!"

Seeing Yan Yu beside her daughter, Bai Fengxia's eyes nearly popped out. She looked the man up and down, then looked at her daughter, her eyes full of confusion as she asked: "Why has Mr. Yan come back with you again? What about that Mr. Sheng?!"

Seeing her mother's expression of being about to spin in circles, Luo Xixi didn't know how to explain that this circle is truly chaotic. She scratched her head and said: "Sheng Tinglan has already gone back. It just so happened that Mr. Yan arrived, so I came back with him."

"Why did Mr. Sheng go back? And what is Mr. Yan here for?"

Bai Fengxia continued to ask.

Luo Xixi was also nearly driven dizzy by her mother's successive questions. She hurriedly tugged at Yan Yu and said: "You say it, what are you here for?!"

Yan Yu's reaction was still faster than Luo Xixi's. A professional smile immediately piled up on his face, and he walked quickly to Bai Fengxia's side, took her hands in his, and said enthusiastically: "Auntie, I am here specifically to apologize to you and Uncle for my abruptness yesterday. I understand that you must be very confused right now about what kind of relationship I have with Xixi, and what is going on with Sheng Tinglan and Xixi. I can answer all these things for you one by one."

"This..."

Bai Fengxia was stunned.

Looking at Yan Yu's attitude, which was even more enthusiastic than Sheng Tinglan's, she felt somewhat at a loss. She didn't know how to respond and immediately looked back at her husband.

"Zhennian."

Luo Zhennian walked over at this moment. Although the events of these past few days had been explosive, Luo Zhennian had at least experienced quite a few things and could keep his cool. He looked at Yan Yu with a calm gaze and said: "We do indeed intend to ask Xixi what the situation was last night. If Mr. Yan knows the ins and outs, please let us understand the situation as well."

"Of course you may. Uncle, feel free to ask; I will certainly tell you everything I know without reservation."

Yan Yu continued to smile.

Seeing Yan Yu speak so nicely, Luo Xixi felt a bit uneasy. She peeked at Yan Yu secretly, communicating with her eyes: Can you handle this? Don't let the secret slip.

Yan Yu also winked at Luo Xixi: Leave it to me, no problem!

Seeing the other party so confident, Luo Xixi said to her father: "Dad, feel free to ask! A-Yu will explain it clearly to you. If there's anything still unclear, come and ask me!"

"Alright."

Father Luo nodded. His gaze wandered between the two of them, and his first question was: "Then, can you tell me what kind of relationship you two have?"

Yan Yu smiled: "Lovers."

Luo Xixi: "Comrades-in-arms."

Luo Zhennian: "..."

Good heavens.

There was a disagreement on the very first question!

Luo Xixi immediately glared fiercely at Yan Yu: You dog, what kind of nonsense are you spouting?

Yan Yu blinked, looking innocent.

"You two..."

Bai Fengxia's gaze darted back and forth between them, carrying a hint of amusement: "Are you lovers or comrades-in-arms?"

Yan Yu maintained his smile and said: "It was my rashness. Actually, I have always been pursuing Xixi, but Xixi is shy and hasn't agreed to me yet, so we haven't confirmed our relationship yet."

Bai Fengxia gave a dry laugh after hearing this: "Then you can't call yourselves lovers, right?"

At this time.

The second son of the Luo Family, Luo Xizhou, also stepped forward and asked: "Just now Xixi said you two are comrades-in-arms; what is that about? Under what circumstances would you use the word 'comrades-in-arms'?"

"Ah, this..." Luo Xixi's scalp went numb.

【Oh my... because Yan Yu and I are currently fighting against another system force, we belong to a unified front, so I naturally called us comrades-in-arms. But I can't tell Mom, Dad, and my second brother about these things! My mouth, why is it so fast! Can I retract it? Calling us 'enemies' would have been better!】

Hearing Luo Xixi's inner voice, the Luo Family fell silent collectively.

Fighting against another system force?

What kind of situation is this?

Yan Yu saw Luo Xixi's distress signal, smiled faintly, and then told a bald-faced lie: "Actually, it's not convenient to talk about the specific situation right now, but I can tell you this: everything the Luo Family is currently encountering stems from a conspiracy. There is a force that wants to frame you and cause everyone to lose their homes and lives. Xixi is struggling to fight against it precisely to prevent everyone from ending up with that outcome, and I am Xixi's ally, someone who is fighting against that force together with Xixi."

Hearing Yan Yu's words and combining them with Luo Xixi's inner voice, the Luo Family understood immediately.

The "other system force" mentioned in Xixi's inner voice must be the force that wants to harm their family and destroy their lives, right?

However.

"And what is the situation with that 'system faction'?"

"I see. Then Xixi, does that Sheng Tinglan belong to the faction you are trying to oppose?"

Luo Xizhou asked again.

After all, he had learned from his parents that the Luo Family had faced several crises in recent days, and Sheng Tinglan's shadow was behind all of them; it could be said that Sheng Tinglan was the person behind the scenes.

"Well, about that..."

Luo Xixi blinked her eyes and said, "I can't say for sure, but I don't think so. He and I mainly had a misunderstanding before; he didn't know it was me, which is why he did a lot of bad things and accidentally hurt everyone."

【After all, according to Sheng Tinglan's own words, he only targeted the Luo Family to complete the tasks assigned to him by the system as quickly as possible. If he had known I was already in this world and was a member of the Luo Family, he would never have been so ruthless toward the Luo Family. Sigh, but I can't say that out loud! After all, according to the plot and character settings, he and I have absolutely nothing to do with each other. The one who has a relationship with Sheng Tinglan is the female lead, Shiqing. I even told Mom and Dad before that I didn't know Sheng Tinglan at all. This is so frustrating; how am I supposed to smooth this over!】

????

Hearing Luo Xixi's inner voice, the Luo Family members were confused again.

Luo Zhennian and Bai Fengxia were fine; after all, they had heard so many of their daughter's inner thoughts over these past few days, and they often heard her muttering about things like scripts, character settings, and plotlines. Previously, they had thought their daughter was suffering from delusions or had become obsessed from reading too many novels.

But now it seemed that everything was not as simple as they had thought!

However, Luo Xizhou had only just returned and had not been baptized by his sister's barrage of inner thoughts. Now, hearing his sister talk about systems, scripts, and female lead character settings in her mind, what kind of situation was all this?

Could it be that, according to his sister's meaning, they were all actually characters in a book?

But that was just too absurd, right?
