Chapter 23: Excuse Me, It Seems I Won by Lying Down

Inside the Black Gold Club.

The progress between Shiqing and Tinglan was also rapid.

At this moment, the two were already preparing to go upstairs in the club to open a room.

According to the plot, because Shiqing was drunk, she kept clinging to Tinglan and wouldn't let go; Tinglan would take her to his presidential suite and then stay with her to take care of her for the night.

Up to this point, everything was progressing smoothly.

Shiqing secretly gloated; sure enough, as long as she wanted to, there was nothing she couldn't achieve. Even a male lead with an extremely high difficulty level for conquest was easily captured, wasn't he? Falling at her feet?

Arriving at the presidential suite.

Tinglan immediately tossed her onto the bed as if he were discarding something.

There was no gentleness in this action at all. Shiqing, caught off guard as she was thrown onto the bed, almost cried out in pain. Because she was currently in "drunk mode," she naturally wouldn't be startled awake, but inside, she was still extremely shocked and incredulous.

【Is there something wrong? This man actually threw me onto the bed directly? Does he even know what it means to cherish the fair and protect the fragile?! How can a male lead be so lacking in class?!】

The Heartthrob System began to make excuses for Tinglan, 【Host, please understand. Tinglan's character setting is cold and violent. Because of the tragic events in his youth, he is extremely cold and indifferent to everyone. The fact that you can get close to him now and were even brought back to his suite by him is a success. Furthermore, as his love for you deepens, you will experience the drastically different attitude he has toward others compared to you. All his gentleness exists only because of you.】

Hearing the Heartthrob System's description, Shiqing was indeed somewhat moved, 【Alright then, for the sake of his good performance in the future, I won't hold this against him this time.】

She must conquer the male lead as soon as possible and make him completely infatuated and crazy for her!

On the other side, the "Help You Reach the Peak of Life" System issued a warning to Tinglan: 【Host, your actions toward the female lead were too rough; please be mindful.】

Tinglan didn't like physical contact with women to begin with, especially this woman he had only met once. If it weren't for the sake of completing the mission, he wouldn't have had any contact with Shiqing at all.

He endured his annoyance and replied: 【The plot that needed to be followed has already been followed anyway. Shiqing is still drunk right now, so it won't affect her Favorability Value toward me. So what if I dropped her?】

It seemed there really was no fault to be found.

The "Help You Reach the Peak of Life" System checked the Attribute Panel, and since the data was all normal, it said: 【In any case, please be mindful of your behavior in the future, Host.】

Tinglan couldn't be bothered to deal with the system's rambling and walked toward the outside of the room.

The system detected abnormal behavior and came online again to ask: 【Host, please explain your current behavior.】

【I don't want to share a room with this woman.】

The system said in a particularly rigid, official tone: 【Please abide by the plot arrangements.】

Tinglan said: 【Isn't the plot supposed to have Shiqing wake up the next day and discover the traces of having been taken care of by me? For this point, can't you just create a disguise?】

【This requires the use of one point.】

【Use it.】

Tinglan was wealthy and generous. Unlike a poor thing like Xixi who had zero points, Tinglan had been executing his missions quite well and had obtained a large number of points during this period.

Tinglan's current total points were over 1000, which was quite formidable.

As for the Heartthrob System, noticing that Tinglan had left, it immediately hypnotized Shiqing into sleep just in case, to prevent her from feeling resistant because she thought the male lead was lacking in some way.

But forcibly changing a Host's will was actually a violation of the rules.

But so what?

In order to secure the title of "Number One in Performance," the Heartthrob System naturally had its own methods. If one really followed the Headquarters' regulations to the letter, who could complete their missions perfectly?

As a system, one had to know how to be flexible.

The next day.

When Shiqing woke up, according to the plot, Tinglan had already left. At this moment, she in the plot did not yet know Tinglan's identity; she only felt that since she hadn't returned all night, the Luo Family must be worried sick, so she hurried away from the hotel.

But just as Shiqing ran out of the hotel, she encountered Yan Qi, who hadn't slept all night, at the entrance.

"Yan Qi! Why are you here?"

Shiqing was shocked inside.

The plot didn't say she would meet Yan Qi this morning!

Last night, after learning from Xixi that Shiqing had run out to see another man, Yan Qi felt unimaginably complicated. He sent people to investigate and discovered that Shiqing had come to this nightclub, and he also asked the manager in charge of the nightclub last night; the other party indeed said they saw Shiqing being intimate and lingering with a guest at the club.

This made Yan Qi's entire inner world feel like it was about to explode.

He had always thought that he and Shiqing were in love with each other, yet after breaking off their engagement, she had happily run off to see another man? The original purity and flawlessness, once its true face was revealed, was actually so dirty and unbearable!

"Shiqing, why are you coming out of this hotel? Who did you come to see last night?"

Yan Qi still wanted to give Shiqing one last chance.

He hoped everything was a misunderstanding.

As long as she honestly explained what happened last night to him, he could let bygones be bygones regarding everything that happened yesterday.

Shiqing had already successfully triggered the plot with the male lead Tinglan; in her eyes, Yan Qi, whom she had already successfully conquered, was just a piece of Cannon Fodder about to be slapped in the face.

It wasn't an important plot point anyway.

Shiqing's attitude toward Yan Qi also began to become perfunctory, "Brother Yan Qi, didn't I say it already? I am returning to the original owner; you belong to my sister. Let's not meet in private anymore in the future."

Not meet in private?

Was she afraid the other man would misunderstand?

Yan Qi clenched his fists tightly and said in a deep voice: "Shiqing, you still haven't answered my question. Who did you meet last night?"

Why was this man so annoying?

A flash of impatience crossed Shiqing's eyes, but she still maintained her character setting, revealing a pitiful appearance as she said: "Brother Yan Qi, please, don't be like this. We are already over. You are now my sister's fiancé; your heart should be placed on my sister. From now on, whether I live or die has nothing to do with you. I beg you, don't deepen my pain and make my heart waver again."

Shiqing was very satisfied with her acting.

In this way, Yan Qi would likely grow even more disgusted and hateful toward Xixi.

Who would have expected.

The Heartthrob System came online and said urgently: 【Something is wrong, Host! Yan Qi's Favorability Value toward you is dropping rapidly! 90 points, 80 points, 70 points... Favorability Value has dropped to 50 points!! Favorability Value toward Xixi has risen to 20 points!!!】

Shiqing's eyes were wide with shock: 【What did you say?!】

【Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Host, time to wake up! Host, time to wake up!】

The Baby System woke up Xixi, who was still sleeping in.

【Morning, Tong'er...】

Luo Xixi rubbed the corners of her eyes, still dazed, and asked: 【Why wake me up so early? Isn't there no plot today?】

The Baby System reported to Luo Xixi in a cheerful voice: 【Sheng Yanqi's Disgust Value toward you has been cleared, and the current Favorability Value is 20 points. Congratulations, Host. \(≧▽≦)/】

【Huh? (⊙_⊙?)】

What is going on?

She and Sheng Yanqi haven't triggered any more plot, so how did the Favorability Value increase?

Is the Baby System malfunctioning again?
