155. Chapter 155: Xixi, I Miss You So Much

Hm?

Luo Xixi heard her phone ringing, opened her eyes again, and turned over to look at it, but the caller ID showed an unknown number.

Did someone dial the wrong number?

Luo Xixi would not answer numbers that weren't saved in her contacts.

So, Luo Xixi hung up the phone without hesitation, turned over, and prepared to go back to sleep.

But just as she turned over, the phone lit up again. Luo Xixi was so angry that her eyes snapped open with a "whoosh," and she stared at the phone with her blood pressure rising: Just who is the tactless person calling at this hour??

"Hello!"

Luo Xixi answered the phone and said, brimming with anger.

"Xixi..."

A gentle, lingering voice came through.

!!!!

This voice!

Sheng Tinglan!!!

Luo Xixi was stunned. Why was this person calling her in the middle of the night? Could it be that he discovered she had been secretly in contact with Yan Yu?

But that should be impossible. She and Yan Yu were very careful about this; it was impossible for an outsider to eavesdrop on their call logs.

Not knowing why Sheng Tinglan was calling now, Luo Xixi composed herself and asked as if nothing were the matter: "Oh, it's you. Why are you still awake so late?"

"..."

Sheng Tinglan paused after hearing this. After a few seconds, the man chuckled and asked: "Xixi, do I not have a name?"

"Uh..."

Luo Xixi paused, then tentatively said: "Mr. Sheng..."

"Sheng...?"

"Tinglan!!"

Luo Xixi hurriedly corrected herself.

The important thing now was to keep this person steady and not let him stir up trouble. As long as she used a more intimate form of address, it wasn't a big deal; Luo Xixi had no qualms about it!

Sheng Tinglan smiled and said: "Sheng Tinglan is just a persona in this Book World. Since there are no outsiders here now, Xixi, you should still call me Chexi; it sounds more intimate to me."

Luo Xixi: "..."

What kind of madness is this person having?

Doesn't he still have a system? Is he trying to violate the rules by saying "Book World" directly?

Sheng Tinglan seemed to know what Luo Xixi was thinking. He smiled faintly and said: "It's fine, I've blocked my system. As long as there is no system monitoring, it won't be a violation."

!!!!

Luo Xixi was somewhat surprised that Sheng Tinglan had guessed her thoughts so quickly. "How did you know what I was thinking?"

Sheng Tinglan chuckled: "Xixi, your thoughts aren't hard to guess."

Luo Xixi: "Oh, are you trying to say I'm simple-minded?"

"I didn't mean that."

Sheng Tinglan hurriedly denied it, then said in a low voice: "But you are too innocent; it's very easy for you to be fooled by others."

"Where am I easily fooled? If you want to say I'm easily fooled, that's true, after all, I once..."

Luo Xixi instinctively wanted to snap back, but thinking that she couldn't provoke Sheng Tinglan, she swallowed her words and said: "Alright, let's not talk about this. Why are you calling me so late?"

"Xixi, you still haven't called my name."

Not knowing why Sheng Tinglan was so fixated on a form of address, Luo Xixi didn't want to argue with the man, so she went along with him: "Chexi, is that okay?"

"Mm."

Sheng Tinglan was satisfied. He said with a smile: "Xixi, I called you just to ask if there is anything you need my help with?"

"No!"

Luo Xixi said: "Didn't I say? I'll call you when I need something! Just wait!"

"Then how long do I have to wait for you?"

Sheng Tinglan asked in a deep voice.

Luo Xixi brushed him off with a laugh: "It should be soon! Anyway, just wait for now!"

"Xixi, I miss you so much."

Sheng Tinglan said again, "I did many bad things in the past. Now that I've finally reunited with you, you won't let me see you. I've been suppressing the urge to see you, and it's very difficult."

"..."

Luo Xixi just wanted to roll her eyes upon hearing this. What does your suffering have to do with me? Are you a baby? Do I have to comfort you?

"Comfort me a little."

Sheng Tinglan said: "To control myself from going to find you, comfort me a little."

Luo Xixi: "!!!!"

How can this person be so pushy?

He's an adult, and someone who has lived two lifetimes at that; can't he learn to control his own desires? Why should she have to pay for this person's behavior?

Sure enough.

Back when she liked him, no matter what the man did, she felt it was cute because of her rose-tinted glasses.

But now that she didn't love him anymore, seeing him be so unreasonable, Luo Xixi just wanted to greet him with a punch.

She helplessly and tactfully refused: "Chexi, how do you want me to comfort you? You're not a child anymore; doing things like this isn't cute."

"......"

Hearing these words, Sheng Tinglan truly wanted to laugh out loud.

He was not a child, so if he wanted Xixi to comfort him, Xixi would refuse, saying it was not cute.

Then what about Yan Yu?

That man had been acting spoiled and coquettish toward her just now, so why was she able to coax him?

Because Yehruohua had given Sheng Tinglan the "Omnipotent" ability, which meant Sheng Tinglan possessed the perspective of a god in this world; as long as he wanted to, he could know what anyone in this world was doing.

He had originally intended to find Luo Xixi tomorrow, not wanting to delay her rest.

Yet, it just so happened that he learned of Xixi secretly chatting with Yan Yu; although Xixi's original intention was to ask about the progress of the mission, Yan Yu had shamelessly fawned over her.

Sheng Tinglan only felt disgusted!

Extremely disgusted!

He could not control the anger in his heart, so after Luo Xixi hung up the phone with Yan Yu, he immediately called Luo Xixi again, wanting her to comfort him as well.

But the result was completely different.

Why!

"Um, I'm a bit tired."

Luo Xixi hinted to Sheng Tinglan.

It was fortunate that they were separated by a phone, so Luo Xixi did not see the man's terrifying eyes, which were becoming increasingly dark and bottomless at this moment.

Sheng Tinglan took a deep breath, managing to control his emotions with great difficulty; his hand gripping the phone had veins bulging on the back, and he squeezed the words out through his teeth one by one.

"Alright, Xixi, you rest early."

"Mm-hmm."

Luo Xixi said, "You rest early too, good night."

"Good night."

Luo Xixi hung up the phone with lightning speed.

Sheng Tinglan looked at the phone that had been hung up, silent for a moment.

At this time.

The Help You Reach the Peak of Life System came online and asked in confusion: 【Host, why haven't you taken action yet? Didn't Lord Yehruohua say you must stop Luo Xixi's mission?】

A faint gleam flickered in the depths of Sheng Tinglan's eyes, and he said unhurriedly: 【No rush.】

【No rush? If Luo Xixi completes the mission, the conditions you negotiated with Lord Yehruohua will not be valid. If Lord Yehruohua gets angry, I'm afraid you will...】

【Rest assured, I know what I'm doing.】

Sheng Tinglan interrupted the system, a cold sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth as he said: 【If I alert the enemy now, they might come up with new countermeasures once they find out. It is better to interrupt her mission on the eve of her success; this will catch them off guard and leave them no time to prepare.】

【So that's how it is.】

After the Help You Reach the Peak of Life System understood Sheng Tinglan's plan, it sighed once again; as expected of the Transmigrator even Lord Yehruohua praised, its Host's depth of character was truly incomparable to ordinary hosts!
