Chapter 31: Giving the Second Male Lead a Little Sweetener

Luo Xixi was flustered and hurriedly stepped back.

But because her center of gravity was unstable, she couldn't control herself and fell toward the ground. Just as Luo Xixi thought the back of her head was about to have an intimate encounter with the floor, Yan Yu suddenly grabbed her hand with one of his. Luo Xixi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the back of her head was saved.

Who would have known.

The next second, Yan Yu actually tumbled down along with her.

Luo Xixi: "@%&$#￥&%……"

In that instant, she wanted to curse.

Damn it!!

Am I that heavy? You, a grown man, can't even hold me steady and just fell with me?! Second male lead, tell me, were you doing that on purpose or was it an accident?!

However.

One thing to be thankful for was that just as the two were about to hit the ground, Yan Yu suddenly hugged Luo Xixi and turned his body in mid-air. This way, Yan Yu landed on the ground with Luo Xixi sprawled on top of him, and in the end, Luo Xixi did manage to protect the back of her head.

Luo Xixi hurriedly tried to get up, only to find that Yan Yu's dog paws were still clutching her hand tightly and wouldn't let go.

"Xixi, are you alright?"

After catching his breath, Yan Yu asked with concern while lying on the ground, looking at Luo Xixi who was sprawled on him.

Luo Xixi's mouth twitched, and she said, "I'm fine."

But could you please let go of my hand first?!

"That's good."

Yan Yu smiled faintly at Luo Xixi.

Luo Xixi: "……"

So, can you let go of your dog paws now?

"Mr. Yan, you……"

Luo Xixi wanted to get Yan Yu to let go; she couldn't get up while he was pulling her hand. As a result, she was interrupted by Yan Yu again. He looked a bit dejected and said, "Didn't you call me A-Yu? Why are you being so distant and calling me Mr. Yan again?"

Luo Xixi: "???"

Did I ever agree to call you A-Yu? Don't you try to confuse the situation while things are chaotic!

Just as Luo Xixi was preparing to argue with Yan Yu, the elevator at the end of the hall suddenly chimed. Immediately after, the elevator doors opened, and the manager, Yang Ge, and Luo Xichuan walked out.

"Mr. Luo, let's just go downstairs and wait. If you go up now, Miss Luo might have already taken another elevator down."

It was obvious.

Yang Ge was still trying very hard to stop Luo Xichuan from going upstairs to find Luo Xixi, but unfortunately, Luo Xichuan was worried about his sister, so how could he listen to him?

And so!

As luck would have it!

As soon as the two came out, they saw the scene of Luo Xixi sprawled on top of Yan Yu!

Luo Xichuan: "……"

Yang Ge: "……"

Yan Yu: "……"

Luo Xixi: "……"

The atmosphere was as silent as death, and Yang Ge's voice came to an abrupt halt: Oh my, is this playing a bit too wild?

Seeing her eldest brother looking like he was about to have a myocardial infarction and pass out, Luo Xixi was so scared she hurriedly climbed off Yan Yu and explained to her brother, "Big Brother! It's a misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding!"

"……" Yan Yu's expression also became slightly subtle, his face mixed with a bit of unhappiness and dissatisfaction.

What a nuisance.

The atmosphere had been so good just a moment ago!

Then, his gaze swept coldly toward Yang Ge. Yang Ge felt like crying: A-Yu, brother tried his best. I was almost kneeling in front of Luo Xichuan to beg him not to come up, but this die-hard sister-con wouldn't listen at all, and there was nothing I could do.

Luo Xichuan was, after all, a mature and steady adult. Although that scene just now had been a huge shock to his heart—if it had been someone with a heart condition, they probably would have fainted on the spot.

But after taking a deep breath, Luo Xichuan didn't yell or scream at his sister and Yan Yu, questioning why they were tangled up together in the hallway. Instead, he walked with steady steps toward Luo Xixi and asked with concern, "Xixi, you didn't get hurt, did you?"

"No."

Luo Xixi shook her head, and then she was moved to tears inside.

【Sob, heaven knows how precious a person with emotional stability is. If it were someone hot-tempered, they would be making a scene right now, and wouldn't I be socially dead? Big Brother is simply the perfect big brother, isn't he!! Love it, love it!!】

"……"

Hearing his sister's inner voice, Luo Xichuan had originally been worried that Yan Yu was trying to do something untoward to her, but looking at her rich inner activity, it must have been a misunderstanding.

After feeling relieved, Luo Xichuan looked at Yan Yu, who was getting up from the ground, and apologized to him, "Sorry, Mr. Yan, Xixi has caused you trouble."

"It's nothing."

Yan Yu felt unhappy with this killjoy, but because this person was Luo Xixi's brother, and the brother with the highest Favorability Value, he could only be polite.

He glanced at the display panel.

Up to this moment, Luo Xixi's Favorability Value toward Luo Xichuan had already reached 60 points.

Then he thought about how his own Disgust Value in Luo Xixi's heart was already at 2000 points.

It was still really annoying!

Why?!

What kind of magic did this man cast on Luo Xixi? How could the Favorability Value soar so quickly?

"Xixi, did you leave anything behind?"

Luo Xichuan asked Luo Xixi.

"No."

Luo Xixi shook her head.

"Very well."

Luo Xichuan said to Yan Yu, "Thank you, Mr. Yan, for your help. Regarding the money for the hotel and the clothes, I will have my assistant coordinate with yours to transfer the payment to you."

"It was just a small favor, no need to be so formal."

Yan Yu said in a calm voice. Just moments ago, in front of Luo Xixi, he had been like a big dog begging for affection from its master, but now, facing Luo Xichuan, he had returned to his aloof, unapproachable, and imposing posture.

Luo Xichuan smiled faintly, "Even brothers settle accounts clearly. I don't think Xixi would want to owe Mr. Yan a favor either."

Luo Xichuan and Yan Yu both swept their gazes toward Luo Xixi.

Luo Xixi was, of course, standing firmly on the side of her eldest brother, Luo Xichuan, so she nodded her head like a pestle pounding garlic and said, "Mm! Big Brother is right!"

Yan Yu: "..."

This heartless girl.

If he had known, he would have just watched her fall earlier.

Because Luo Xixi had already stated her position, Yan Yu did not want to make Luo Xixi feel repulsed or resistant over such a trivial matter, so he could only compromise and reply, "Alright then, contact my assistant when the time comes."

"Good."

Luo Xichuan smiled slightly, "Then Mr. Yan, Xixi and I will take our leave now. Xixi, let's go."

"Mm!"

Luo Xixi followed Luo Xichuan as they left. When she passed by Yan Yu, she remembered something, turned back to look at him, smiled at him, and said, "A-Yu, goodbye."

!!

Hearing this form of address from Luo Xixi, the gloom on Yan Yu's face was instantly replaced by sunshine. He turned back to look at Luo Xixi in surprise. Luo Xixi smiled at him, blinked, and asked, "Didn't you tell me to call you A-Yu? Why are you so surprised?"

Yan Yu was still stunned, and he stammered, "I thought you wouldn't call me that."

"Didn't you say that courtesy demands reciprocity? It's only fair if you call me Xixi and I call you A-Yu, right?"

Luo Xixi raised an eyebrow.

Upon hearing this, Yan Yu couldn't help but smile and replied, "Mm, that's right."

He was truly defeated by this girl.

He had thought he was the one leading her emotions, but he hadn't expected that, in the end, she was the one who held the initiative.

Luo Xixi and Luo Xichuan were on their way home.

The Baby System said to Luo Xixi very happily: 【Host, there's a chance, there's a chance! A very big chance! I feel like the second male lead's attitude toward you is very different! It seems like he really likes you!】

【Is that so?】

Luo Xixi was uninterested. She had only seen that Yan Yu's face had turned dark just now, and fearing that she might provoke him and get herself killed prematurely, she had just gone along with him and called him A-Yu to smooth his fur.

As for whether Yan Yu liked her or not, Luo Xixi did not care.

But the Baby System was still very excited and said: 【Although we cannot open the Attribute Panel for the second male lead due to insufficient points, I believe that once the panel is opened, his base Favorability Value toward you will definitely be shockingly high! It will give you a fright!】
