Chapter 16: Hey, hey, hey, second male lead, you're trying to piss the female lead to death, aren't you!

The Baby System was also bewildered; it was even more panicked than Luo Xixi, asking: 【That's right! What is going on? In the plot I currently received, the second male lead does not appear in this scene. Host, what is the situation here?? Σ(°△°|||)︴】

【……】

Seeing that her Baby System was useless and couldn't answer a single question, and was instead asking her what was going on, Luo Xixi found it... well... quite hard to describe. （￣工￣lll）

Perhaps seeing that the Baby System was too useless, Luo Xixi was the first to calm down instead.

Her gaze shifted, sweeping once more toward the man she had only met once before, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that this second male lead was truly too good-looking.

His eyes were beautiful and sharp, his eyelashes long and dense, and his skin was a cold white, clean and unstained by dust. His naturally cool and thin lips were slightly curled; at a glance, this should be a person who was not easy to get along with.

In fact, over the past few days, the Baby System had also introduced the second male lead's character profile to Luo Xixi in detail.

A national top-tier celebrity, the youngest Grand Slam Best Actor in history, but because of psychological trauma, he was cold and indifferent to everyone, ignoring them. Only the female lead was his salvation, walking into his heart. It was precisely because of this that he loved too deeply, which was why he would later do so many extreme and paranoid things.

Whenever this man appeared, his gaze should have been revolving around the female lead. Even in the early stages before he had fallen in love, he should only have had a strong interest in the female lead. Yet, not only did he suddenly pop up now, he even ignored the female lead and came specifically to her to say hello.

Could you please give the female lead a little face??

Afraid that if she delayed too long, others would think she had senile dementia and slow reactions, Luo Xixi immediately put on an surprised expression and greeted Yan Yu, "It's you. I didn't expect to meet again."

"My name is Yan Yu."

Yan Yu introduced himself.

Luo Xixi also introduced herself politely, "Hello, Mr. Yan, my name is Luo Xixi."

Yan Yu's appearance also caused the guests to exclaim in surprise.

"Heaven!! It's God Yan!! He actually came too!"

"I really earned it today! I didn't expect to see the real Yan Yu here. I wonder if it would be okay to ask for a photo with him later."

"Does God Yan know the Luo Family daughter? In my impression, God Yan hasn't been this kind and amiable to anyone, right?"

"You can't say it like that. Today is the Luo Family daughter's Recognition Banquet after all; he has to give the Luo Family some face."

"But honestly, this is the first time I've seen God Yan be so gentle with a girl. I heard that a female star who worked with him before wanted to throw herself at him, and he turned and left. The next day, that female star was blacklisted. He's cold-blooded as hell!"

"……"

Hearing the gossip of the passerby NPCs, Luo Xixi felt her scalp tingle.

What is going on?

Why is everyone's focus on her and the second male lead?

Please, she is just a Cannon Fodder female supporting character; don't give her so much female lead screen time, thank you! She was afraid the female lead would kill her on the spot.

Luo Xixi secretly glanced in the direction of the female lead, Luo Shiqing. Hiss... if looks could kill, she would probably have been hacked to pieces by the female lead by now.

Luo Shiqing was truly about to be driven mad with anger.

She was currently arguing with her Heartthrob System.

【System! You explain this to me, what is going on?! Isn't it not yet time to trigger the plot with the second male lead? How could he appear here?? And shouldn't his gaze be revolving around me the moment he appears? Why did he run over to look at Luo Xixi!】

The Heartthrob System had not anticipated this situation either. It was quickly searching the plot, but there was indeed no plot point for the female lead to interact with the second male lead at this moment. What was going on?

【Host, it should be a plot bug. I will report it to Headquarters in time. You continue to follow the plot flow.】

【Then what about the second male lead? Are we not capturing him now?】

Luo Shiqing's eyes were almost red with anxiety.

The male lead and the second male lead were the key targets for her to capture in this world. Although the second male lead's priority was not as high as the male lead's, she absolutely could not let him trigger a plot with that Cannon Fodder woman, Luo Xixi. Whether it was the male lead or the second male lead, they both belonged to her!

The Heartthrob System checked Yan Yu's Attribute Panel; it was currently still a blank slate. And because Yan Yu belonged to a high-level character, Luo Xixi currently did not have the Permission to unlock his panel, so the Heartthrob System naturally could not peek at Yan Yu's various values regarding Luo Xixi.

Moreover, it had not received any notification that the plot needed to be modified, so it should be fine.

It was just a small bug; as long as it didn't affect the main plot, it would be fine.

【Host, the Cannon Fodder woman hasn't even opened the second male lead's Attribute Panel. To her, the second male lead is an uncapturable target. You don't need to worry. Your most important task now is to trigger the plot with the male lead as soon as possible. Do not deviate from the main storyline.】

Hearing that Luo Xixi could not capture Yan Yu, Luo Shiqing finally felt at ease, but complained: 【Your plot bugs are too many. Hurry up and report them to be fixed. Even if Luo Xixi can't capture the second male lead, I'm unhappy seeing them together!】

【Yes, I will report it as soon as possible. Please rest assured.】

Other members of the Luo Family were also somewhat surprised by Yan Yu's appearance.

"Teacher Yan, I didn't expect you to come and show your support. Welcome."

The third brother, Luo Xinian, came over to greet Yan Yu politely. Strictly speaking, it was he who had invited Yan Yu.

At the time, they were in a studio, and Luo Xinian mentioned the Recognition Banquet to a few close friends. Yan Yu happened to come over, and out of politeness, Luo Xinian extended an invitation to Yan Yu, but he never thought Yan Yu would actually come.

After all, this person had always been a loner. Unless it was a necessary occasion, he would decline if he could. And he had only worked with Yan Yu once; they weren't very close. It was impossible for Yan Yu to show support for this not-so-close former collaborator.

"I just happened to be free, and thinking of the Recognition Banquet that Teacher Luo mentioned, I came over. This is a small token of my appreciation."

Yan Yu handed a gift bag to Luo Xinian.

"Haha, Teacher Yan is too polite. Your presence is enough."

Luo Xinian handed the gift bag to a servant nearby, his gaze sweeping between Yan Yu and Luo Xixi again, and he asked curiously: "Does Teacher Yan know Xixi?"

"We have met once."

Yan Yu responded with a faint smile.

"Met once..."

Luo Xinian fell silent. Then why does it feel like you are quite familiar with her?

Don't lie to me, when have you ever been this kind and amiable to someone you've only met once???
