154. Chapter 154: Loving a man starts with finding him cute

"It went up."

Yan Yu replied, "The Favorability Value is already at 65 points now."

"What! I've been smiling all day, how did it only go up by 5 points?"

It was clearly already at 60 points this morning!

Yan Yu chuckled and said, "That's not bad. You've pushed the Favorability Value to 65 points in just two days; that's one of a kind even among all the Hosts."

"Fine, whatever."

Luo Xixi was just saying that; she knew very well that her speed of conquest could no longer be described as fast. Even she herself suspected whether Mijia had installed some kind of External Cheat on her.

After knowing the Task Progress and the points, Luo Xixi felt at ease. She said to Yan Yu, "Alright, nothing else then, I'm hanging up."

As she spoke.

Luo Xixi was about to hang up the phone.

Upon hearing this, Yan Yu immediately called out to stop her, "Wait!!"

"Hm?"

Luo Xixi was confused and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Yan Yu's voice carried a bit of a resentful wife's dissatisfaction as he complained, "Are you serious? I waited for your call all day, and you're done after just asking about the Task Progress?"

"Otherwise what?"

Luo Xixi didn't understand what the man wanted to express.

Seeing that this girl still didn't get it, Yan Yu said angrily, "Can't you say something to me? I already told you I waited for your call all day!"

Luo Xixi said inexplicably, "Why were you waiting for my call all day? Can't you just do your own thing? I didn't ask you to keep waiting for my call!"

Yan Yu: "!!!"

If he died one day, it would definitely be from being angered to death by this girl!

Perhaps Yan Yu's resentment was too strong; Luo Xixi reacted for a few seconds and finally caught on. She laughed at the man and said, "Oh, oh, oh, I get it now. You want me to say some sweet nothings to you, right? Just say so directly!"

Yan Yu: "..."

Actually, you don't have to be so blunt.

Sometimes Yan Yu discovered that this girl was truly quite dense. Some things, clearly, are better understood without being said, yet she could say them directly, making others quite embarrassed.

"Hehe, did you miss me?"

Luo Xixi asked again.

Being able to wait for her all day, Luo Xixi found that Yan Yu was actually quite love-struck. Luo Xixi originally thought she was the one who had water in her brain and was love-struck in the past, but now, compared to Yan Yu, she actually seemed quite normal.

"..."

Yan Yu didn't make a sound, feeling quite embarrassed.

It looked like she didn't take him to heart at all, and it was only him being enthusiastic; a man who is too love-struck is worthless!

Seeing that Yan Yu didn't answer her, Luo Xixi urged him again, "Why aren't you talking? Did you miss me or not? If not, then I'm hanging up!"

As she spoke.

She pretended to be about to hang up the phone.

Yan Yu became anxious immediately after hearing this and said, "Yes, yes, yes! I missed you, okay! If you dare to hang up, just see what I..."

"See what you'll do?"

Luo Xixi asked with a grin.

"..."

Yan Yu held it in for a long time but couldn't come up with anything, so he could only huff indignantly and say, "What else can I do? Just keep waiting for you to call me!"

"Hahahahaha!!!"

Hearing Yan Yu's answer, Luo Xixi was about to burst with laughter and said, "Yan Yu, why didn't I realize you were so cute before?!"

Compared to his previous "anger-you-to-death" attitude, she really loved this current version of him that was both tsundere and frank.

"You're calling a man cute?"

Yan Yu frowned in dissatisfaction.

Luo Xixi retorted, "I just think you're very cute, so what? Can't I say that about you?"

"No!"

"..."

Hahahahaha!!!

Hearing the man's huffy, argumentative voice, Luo Xixi was about to burst with laughter again. However, teasing him was enough; if she really pushed him too far and he stopped paying attention to her, that would be troublesome.

Luo Xixi adjusted her mindset and said to Yan Yu, "Alright, alright, I know you missed me a lot. But just bear with it a little longer; anyway, there are only six days left. And looking at the current progress, I estimate it won't even take six days to successfully conquer the second brother. Once we save Tong'er and the eldest brother, won't we be able to meet in peace? So don't be impatient, this is all for the future!"

"..."

Hearing Luo Xixi's comforting words, the gloom in Yan Yu's heart dissipated quite a bit. He gave a light huff this time and said, "Of course I understand these principles."

"As long as you understand!"

Luo Xixi rolled around on the bed, then lay prone, swinging her two lower legs back and forth, and said to Yan Yu with a smile, "I will call you every night. Besides asking about the progress, I'll also talk to you. Is that okay?"

Yan Yu could feel the change in Luo Xixi's attitude.

Compared to before, she was clearly more concerned about his feelings now.

Yan Yu didn't need Luo Xixi to talk about love all day long; as long as she had him in her heart, that was enough.

Having finished comforting himself, Yan Yu became "worthless" again. He gave a light huff to Luo Xixi and said, "Fine, seeing as you're so sincere, then it's settled."

"Okay!"

Luo Xixi agreed with a smile.

The two of them chatted on and off like this for nearly half an hour, until Yan Yu was finally satisfied and said to Luo Xixi, "Alright, you've been keeping your nerves highly strung to win over your second brother, so you must be tired now. Get some rest early."

"Mm."

Luo Xixi agreed, "Then I'll look for you again around this time tomorrow."

"Okay."

"Goodnight, A-Yu~"

Luo Xixi said goodnight to Yan Yu.

Yan Yu's voice carried an upbeat lilt, "Goodnight~"

After Yan Yu hung up the phone on his end, Luo Xixi put her phone down; she felt gleeful inside, wondering why it felt like she was about to fall in love again.

She had felt something similar when she was with Gu Chexi before, but upon closer comparison, it was quite different; when she first met Gu Chexi, it was after learning that she was merely a tool chosen by her foster parents to awaken their biological daughter, and at that time, she was disheartened, feeling as though her existence had no meaning at all.

However, the amnesiac Gu Chexi relied on her heavily, which gave Luo Xixi a sense of being needed.

Therefore.

Rather than saying she liked Gu Chexi, Luo Xixi felt that her past self was more in need of using Gu Chexi to prove that her existence had meaning, but when she later discovered he no longer needed her, that was why she had been so devastated, clinging to him desperately and becoming increasingly obsessed, until she finally had a great awakening after he tried to kill her.

But when she was with Yan Yu, the two of them were equals.

Luo Xixi did not need to have any burdens or concerns; being with Yan Yu was simply very happy, nothing more.

At this moment, Luo Xixi was thinking again.

If everything were to settle down, could she really consider the matter of dating Yan Yu?

Luo Xixi closed her eyes and slowly drifted into sleep.

But just at this moment.

The phone suddenly rang again...
