159. Chapter 159: Progress 99

"Oh my god!!"

A dark shadow suddenly appeared before her eyes, nearly scaring Luo Xixi to death. When she steadied her gaze and took a look, she found the person blocking her path somewhat familiar; it felt like she had seen them before, yet it also felt like she hadn't.

"Um... sir, could you please move?"

Luo Xixi said to the man.

But the other party stood there without moving, planted in front of Luo Xixi like a mountain.

Hey! This guy!

Luo Xixi didn't want to cause trouble at this critical juncture, so although she wanted to give this person a couple of good punches, she held back in the end. She intended to walk around the man, but who would have thought that just as she held her belly and moved to the side, the other party acted as if he were looking for a fight and veered in front of her again, blocking her way.

!!!!

Now Luo Xixi was not happy.

She glared at the other party, "I said, sir, what are you doing?"

"Hehe~"

Just at this moment.

A soft, light chuckle came from the man.

?

Luo Xixi was stunned. Wait, this voice...

Yan Yu!!

Luo Xixi discovered the voice belonged to Yan Yu and was taken aback, but upon looking closely at the other party, she found this was not Yan Yu's face. What was going on? Was the voice similar, or had this guy used a disguise??

"Are you... Yan Yu?"

Luo Xixi asked in a low, probing voice.

Yan Yu finally stopped pretending. He raised his thick, heroic eyebrows, and what remained unchanged were his beautiful, smiling peach-blossom eyes as he asked, "How is it? Can you not recognize me?"

It really was Yan Yu!!!

Luo Xixi was greatly shocked and said, "My god! It really is you!! How did you manage this, kid? Did you get plastic surgery behind my back these past few days?!"

As she spoke, she reached out to pinch Yan Yu's face.

It felt like his previous appearance was better-looking! Luo Xixi, a superficial fan of good looks, thought to herself secretly.

Yan Yu let Luo Xixi's claws pinch his face back and forth, smiling as he said, "This is also one of the abilities Mijia bestowed upon me; I can change my own appearance."

"That's so cool? The system really is omnipotent!"

Luo Xixi sighed, then thinking of something, she lowered her hand, glared at him, and said, "But what are you doing, kid? Didn't I tell you not to meet until I finish capturing the second brother? What if Sheng Tinglan finds out?"

Yan Yu shrugged and said, "I've changed my appearance now, even you couldn't recognize me, so how could Sheng Tinglan possibly discover it? Besides, I didn't come here for nothing; I came to bring you news."

"News? What news?"

Luo Xixi was puzzled.

Yan Yu raised an eyebrow and said, "Didn't you tell me not to come? Why are you asking now?"

"Are you looking to die!"

Luo Xixi kicked him and said, "Since you're already here, stop playing games and tell me quickly!"

"Hiss..."

Yan Yu hadn't expected this girl would actually be able to land a kick. After sucking in a breath from the pain, he told Luo Xixi the serious matter: "It's like this, your second brother's Favorability Value toward you has reached 99 points."

Yes.

Just on the way Yan Yu came to find Luo Xixi, Luo Xizhou's Favorability Value toward Luo Xixi had increased by another point. Now, they were only one step away from completing the mission.

"What? It's already 99 points??"

Luo Xixi was greatly shocked, both surprised and happy as she said, "It was only 95 points this morning, and in just this short while it's reached 99 points. Doesn't that mean the capture will be completed immediately?"

"Yes."

Yan Yu nodded with a smile, then felt a bit puzzled. Rubbing his chin, he said, "However, there is one point that makes me quite concerned. The curve of your second brother's Favorability Value increase is different from the curves of other Hosts' capture targets. It rose very quickly at the beginning, but the further it got, the flatter the curve became. When I came to find you, it was still 98 points, and now it's gone up by 1 point. It feels like it's reached a bottleneck; the final point won't be so easy to break through."

"Anyway, there's still a day and a half left!"

Luo Xixi was very excited now and said, "There's only 1 point of Favorability Value left, surely I can complete the capture in a day and a half?"

"That's true."

Yan Yu nodded, then looked at Luo Xixi with eyes shining like starlight, smiling as he said, "Once you complete the capture, we can meet openly and honestly."

"That's right!"

Luo Xixi hadn't expected things to progress so smoothly. Thinking that she could soon save Tong'er and her eldest brother, Luo Xixi was incomparably invigorated.

She said, "Alright, I know the information now. I have to go back, otherwise, the second brother will come out looking for me."

"Fine."

Yan Yu knew that serious matters were important and did not stop Luo Xixi. However, before letting Luo Xixi leave, he said, "We haven't seen each other for so many days, shouldn't you give me some sign of affection?"

As soon as Luo Xixi saw this love-struck expression, she knew what he wanted. Her eyes rolled, and she teased him, asking a question she already knew the answer to: "What sign of affection?"

"Tsk... why is your head so slow to catch on?"

Yan Yu's face fell, and he said righteously, "I've been working hard without complaint watching the panel for you these days, can't you give me some sweetness?"

"If you want sweetness, just say it directly. Why are you always beating around the bush?"

"Who knew you were such a blockhead, unable to understand even a slight hint!"

"Who doesn't understand? I was just teasing you on purpose!"

"What? Then aren't you even more hateful?!"

"Muah!"

Just as Yan Yu wanted to continue arguing with Luo Xixi, Luo Xixi suddenly kissed him on the cheek.

!!!!

Yan Yu stood frozen on the spot, as if he had been immobilized.

Luo Xixi's eyes curved into crescents, and she looked at the stunned Yan Yu with a grin, patting his head as if she were petting a dog, and said, "Satisfied now? I'm going back to find my second brother, so you be a good boy, okay?"

After saying this, she didn't wait for Yan Yu to react and left with light, brisk steps.

Luo Xixi was in high spirits, and thinking that she was about to succeed in her conquest, she skipped as she walked, returning to the private room, "Second Brother, Third Brother, I'm back."

However.

When Luo Xixi pushed open the door to the private room and entered, she discovered that there was no sign of her second brother or third brother; instead, an unexpected person had appeared in the room.

It was Sheng Tinglan!

Thump, thump, thump!!!

The moment she saw Sheng Tinglan, Luo Xixi felt as if her heart had stopped for a beat; after all, she had just met with Yan Yu, and now she felt a sense of guilt, like a thief caught in the act.

Besides, why would Sheng Tinglan be here? Where did her second brother and third brother go?

For a moment.

Several thoughts popped into Luo Xixi's mind.

She also froze in the doorway, unable to move.

Sheng Tinglan was currently sitting with his legs crossed in the seat where her second brother Luo Xizhou had originally been sitting, his hands folded over his knees, looking indescribably elegant and composed, yet carrying an oppressive aura that could erode one's heart.

Seeing Luo Xixi's dazed reaction, the man's thin, red lips curled slightly upward, and he smiled faintly at Luo Xixi, saying, "Xixi, why are you standing there frozen? Am I some kind of ferocious beast? Come here."
