Chapter 149: 149. Chapter 149: Second Brother

149. Chapter 149: Second Brother's Favorability Value Soars, Loved It, Loved It

Because of Luo Xixi's inner voice, the Luo family felt their brain CPUs were about to burn out.

Luo Xizhou digested this for a good while before continuing to ask, "So, can we now conclude that Sheng Tinglan poses no threat to us?"

After all, that man had rushed over early in the morning to apologize in person, and his attitude had been so sincere.

Xixi had also said that the other party was not from the faction threatening them.

"Hmm..."

Luo Xixi was just about to nod when Yan Yu spoke up, "We cannot completely rule out the threat posed by Sheng Tinglan either; in short, it is better for everyone to keep their guard up."

!!

As soon as these words were out, Luo Xixi immediately turned to look at Yan Yu, but Yan Yu glared back at her and retorted, "Isn't that right?"

"Uh... that's true..."

Luo Xixi didn't argue and could only obediently shut her mouth.

After hearing this, the Luo family also felt they couldn't completely let their guard down. After they nodded, the second brother, Luo Xizhou, asked, "Xixi, we still can't say we understand the situation too well, but we believe in you, so is there anything we need to do now?"

"Well, about that..."

Luo Xixi came back to her senses, her eyes sweeping over her second brother, Luo Xizhou.

She muttered to herself: 【My biggest task right now is to win over the second brother and get his favorability toward me to the maximum level. Only then can that Advanced System save Tong'er and the eldest brother as well. But I can't just say this directly to the second brother.】

"..."

Luo Xizhou felt another jolt in his heart upon hearing his younger sister's inner voice.

It seems Xixi has some kind of agreement with a so-called "system," and for the eldest brother to recover, the system's help is required.

Although the matter was too bizarre and unbelievable, he could even hear Xixi's inner voice now, so what else was worth being surprised about?

Besides, a person's inner thoughts couldn't possibly be lying, right?

Luo Xizhou did not doubt his sister's inner voice; instead, he pondered: if all this were true, and his sister had to "conquer" people like playing a game to save her family, shouldn't he, as her target, cooperate well so that the eldest brother could be saved?

Once Luo Xizhou had a plan in mind, he smiled faintly at Luo Xixi and said, "Xixi, if you can't think of anything for now, that's fine. Don't force it. I was just asking; if there is anything you need us for, just speak up. After all, we are a family."

"Second Brother."

Luo Xixi was deeply moved upon hearing Luo Xizhou's words.

Is the second brother too easy to talk to?

Thinking back to the third brother's attitude when she first returned—wanting to kick her off the bed and throw her outside the house the moment they met—the eldest brother was still very good and had always been very gentle with her.

But compared to the eldest and third brothers, Luo Xixi felt that the second brother, Luo Xizhou, was even easier to talk to. He couldn't even be called gentle; he was simply compliant and actively cooperative, wasn't he!

Just like this, why worry about not being able to conquer the second brother in a week!

Yan Yu stared at Luo Xizhou, deep in thought, also feeling that Xixi's second brother was a bit too easy to talk to. Originally, according to the plot, to make Luo Xizhou have a favorable impression of Xixi, one would have to go through a lot of plot points to increase the Favorability Value bit by bit. But he had just glanced at Luo Xizhou's Favorability Value toward Xixi, and it had already risen to 60 points. As long as it increased by another 40 points, the Favorability Value would be maxed out, and the task would be completed.

Isn't this too fast?

It feels like at this rate, it won't even take a week to conquer him.

Did Mijia actually give Xixi a cheat code?

Even if it is a cheat, isn't this too fierce?

But Yan Yu didn't know that this was actually equivalent to the butterfly effect. Because Luo Xixi had already mostly conquered the Luo parents, and although Luo Xizhou hadn't spent much time with Luo Xixi, through his parents' reactions to their sister, coupled with the assistance of her inner voice, it had achieved twice the result with half the effort for Luo Xixi's conquest task.

The Luo parents also heard their daughter's inner voice and learned that to save their eldest son, they had to get their second son to max out that "Favorability Value" toward their daughter. So, the two of them walked up in unison, standing on either side of Luo Xizhou, and urged him, "Xizhou, whether we can save your eldest brother now depends on Xixi. You must fully cooperate with your sister, do you understand?"

"... Hmm."

Luo Xizhou responded, his gaze sweeping over his parents again, deep in thought.

Although his sister said that to prevent the family from being destroyed, she had to fight against a certain faction, she didn't say she would definitely be able to save the eldest brother, right?

Why were his parents so certain that Xixi could save the eldest brother?

Could it be.

That not only he, but even his parents could hear Xixi's inner thoughts?

But the matter of being able to read minds was too bizarre, so Luo Xizhou decided to try communicating with his parents in private to see if they could really hear her inner voice.

Luo Xixi told her family the general situation, and to her surprise, the Luo parents and the second brother were incredibly cooperative, with no objections at all; everything went exceptionally smoothly.

Afterward.

Luo Xixi called Yan Yu aside to talk to him about her agreement with Sheng Tinglan.

"For these few days, don't come running to me anymore. If we have anything to discuss, we'll contact each other by phone. Don't come looking for me."

"Why?"

Yan Yu furrowed his brows.

Luo Xixi didn't hide it and confessed, "Because Sheng Tinglan said he doesn't want me to see you..."

Before she could even finish her sentence, Yan Yu started to get annoyed. He gave a cold, chilly laugh and said sulkily, "Because he doesn't want to, you won't see me? Is his word an imperial decree? What if I insist on seeing you?"

"Hey! Are you trying to die!"

Luo Xixi didn't hold back either, slapping Yan Yu directly on the head, saying, "Is this the time for jealousy? Sheng Tinglan is an unstable factor. Although the second brother's attitude toward me is pretty good right now, before I completely conquer him, I don't want any mishaps. If I don't keep Sheng Tinglan steady, what if he causes trouble? If you can't distinguish what's important right now, then get lost!"

"..."

Seeing that Luo Xixi was angry, Yan Yu, who had just been sulking, immediately calmed down.

He rubbed his head where Luo Xixi had hit him and looked at her gloomily, saying, "Isn't this because I was traumatized by your previous life? Fine, I know that in your heart, your Tong'er and your eldest brother are the most important. What am I? Just a fool chasing you everywhere. I've endured for so long, can't you just let me wait a little longer?"

Luo Xixi's mouth twitched violently as she looked at the man's attitude.

What is with this aggrieved-wife look?

It was clearly him being unreasonable, yet he acted as if he were the one who was wronged.

However.

It was actually quite cute!

Luo Xixi did not know if she had gone mad; in the past, no matter how she looked at this person, she found him displeasing, but now that everything had been laid out and spoken of, the more she looked at Yan Yu, the more pleasing he became.

What was with this sudden, irrepressible urge to comfort the lad?
