Chapter 29: Yan Yu Doesn't Even Blush When He Lies

The Baby System's words scared Luo Xixi half to death, and she hurriedly asked with concern: "Tong'er, are you alright? Did you malfunction again?! I told you, if you're going to fix it, fix it properly; don't try to cut corners. Look at this! Now your data is starting to get scrambled again!"

"……"

The Baby System was left feeling quite helpless by Luo Xixi, and it said huffily: "No, no! I didn't malfunction! (Frustrated) This is a scientific analysis based on human behavior and mannerisms!"

"Then how did you come to such an outrageous conclusion?!"

"……Um, Host, is it possible that the second male lead actually likes you?"

"Not possible!"

Luo Xixi answered decisively: "Isn't the second male lead's character setting supposed to be xenophobic and gloomy? The setup is that only the female lead can open his heart. I've only met the second male lead a few times; why would he like me? Is there any behavioral logic in this? Tell me, what is his reason for liking me?"

"This……"

The Baby System was once again rendered speechless by Luo Xixi.

Although it could analyze that the second male lead harbored feelings of affection for the Host based on his current behavior, it could not analyze the original motivation behind why he liked the Host.

Damn it! (Angry)

Although her Host loved to slack off, her logic was much stronger than its own as a system! It simply couldn't win!

Luo Xixi knew her Baby System was speechless and felt quite satisfied, but she still comforted the Baby System: "Alright Tong'er, don't think about it so much. Since the second male lead has an antisocial personality, his behavior can't be understood with normal human thinking anyway. Asking an AI to analyze a psychopath is indeed too hard on you. It's my fault. Since we've already made contact, we'll just take it one step at a time."

"Wuwu, alright then. _(: з」∠)_"

The Baby System once again lay flat along with Luo Xixi.

"Thank you, Mr. Yan."

Although Luo Xixi couldn't understand Yan Yu's behavioral logic, she was indeed a bit cold at the moment, so she didn't refuse the clothes Yan Yu offered.

Seeing that Luo Xixi did not refuse him, a faint, imperceptible smile appeared on Yan Yu's handsome and refined face.

"You're welcome."

Sure enough, Yang Ge was right.

As long as he pestered her closely enough, Xixi would eventually compromise with him.

"……"

Luo Xichuan took this scene in.

Although he hadn't had much interaction with Yan Yu before, he knew this person wasn't easy to get along with. He was cold by nature and the type who kept strangers at a distance. But this time—and actually, during that Recognition Banquet as well—Yan Yu seemed to hold a kind of closeness and concern for Xixi that went beyond what one would show an ordinary person.

Could it be.

That there was some past connection between Yan Yu and Xixi? But Xixi didn't remember it?

However, this speculation had no factual basis, so Luo Xichuan just buried the thought in his heart.

Arriving at the hotel.

Yan Yu had Yang Ge book two rooms for Luo Xixi and Luo Xichuan so they could change their clothes.

Hearing that two rooms were being booked, Luo Xixi felt it was a bit wasteful and said: "It's just to change clothes, there's no need for two rooms, right? One room for my big brother and me is fine."

Yan Yu swept a calm, unruffled gaze toward Luo Xichuan, his eyes carrying a hint of concern, and said: "Men and women should not touch when handing things to one another."

Luo Xixi felt this second male lead's brain was truly inexplicable. "My big brother and I are biological siblings; what does that have to do with men and women not touching?"

"……"

Rebuffed, Yan Yu just stared at Luo Xixi without speaking, but he had no intention of changing his mind.

Luo Xixi felt a bit cowardly under Yan Yu's gaze and couldn't help but complain internally: "Why does it feel like this guy is poised to kill me? Is it necessary? Isn't this me trying to save you some money? Truly unappreciative of kindness! Help, the second male lead is really so hard to serve!"

Hearing his sister's inner voice, Luo Xichuan felt somewhat helpless.

Seeing Yan Yu's complexion trending toward the color of pot ash and the atmosphere becoming increasingly awkward, he took the initiative to smooth things over, saying to Luo Xixi: "Xixi, since Mr. Yan is being kind, let's not decline. After all, even though we are siblings, we are both adults now; it really wouldn't look good if we changed in the same room."

After saying this, he added to Yan Yu: "Thank you, Mr. Yan, for being so thoughtful."

"……"

Yan Yu glanced at Luo Xichuan and nodded.

This attitude couldn't be called bad, but it was cold and indifferent, completely different from his demeanor when looking at Luo Xixi, yet it was just as distant toward strangers as the rumors suggested.

Looking at her mature and steady big brother, Luo Xixi felt another wave of regret.

"Heavens! Big brother is such a good person, even thoughtfully helping to smooth things over. How could the second male lead be so heartless as to kill big brother? Truly such a vicious man! Ptooey!!"

Luo Xichuan: "?"

What does Xixi mean by this?

The second male lead is going to kill him?

"A-Yu! The roo—rooms are booked……"

Just then, Yang Ge, who had walked over after booking the rooms, looked up and saw Yan Yu's livid face, and was immediately startled.

Oh, damn it!

He had only been gone for a moment, so why was A-Yu's face so dark?

Miss Luo, what on earth did you do to my A-Yu!!

Visible in mid-air was a screen that no one else could see, which read: 【Luo Xixi's Disgust Value toward you has increased; current Disgust Value is 2000 points.】

It was unclear whether Yang Ge did it on purpose or by accident, but Luo Xixi's room was a long way from her big brother Luo Xichuan's.

After changing her clothes, Luo Xixi prepared to go downstairs to meet up with her big brother.

Who would have thought.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Yan Yu standing at the entrance.

"Oh my god!"

Seeing this god of pestilence Yan Yu the moment she stepped out scared Luo Xixi half to death. She hurriedly steadied her mind and asked: "Mr. Yan, why are you here?"

Although Yan Yu felt extremely depressed and aggrieved because Luo Xixi's Disgust Value toward him had risen for no reason, he still didn't pass up any opportunity to be alone with her.

He handed the ginger black tea he was holding to Luo Xixi and said: "Yang Ge said your complexion was poor and your vitality was weak, so he asked me to bring you a cup of ginger black tea. He said it could warm your body and replenish your energy."

"Agent Yang asked you, Mr. Yan, to bring me ginger black tea?"

Luo Xixi took the cup, still feeling puzzled inside. Is Agent Yang such a thoughtful person? And why would he have the second male lead bring it to her? How could Agent Yang possibly order the second male lead around??

Yang Ge: I am not, I didn't, I didn't instruct him, don't talk nonsense.

Yan Yu said with a firm gaze, "Yes, he is my agent, I have to listen to him."

"Oh..."

Luo Xixi was half-doubting. She held the cup and said to Yan Yu, "Then thank you to Agent Yang. Mr. Yan, I'm sorry to have troubled you with the trip."

"It's nothing. You are Xinian's younger sister, so it is only right that I look after you."

Yan Yu spoke righteously and as if it were a matter of course.

"Huh?"

Luo Xixi was stunned again. She blinked her eyes and asked suspiciously, "Mr. Yan, so you and my third brother are actually that close?"

To think he even calls third brother Xinian!

"Yes."

Yan Yu didn't even blink, his face didn't flush and his heart didn't race as he said to Luo Xixi, "Your third brother and I are good friends who hit it off at first sight, soulmates."
