Chapter 36: Third Brother's Disgust Value Toward Luo Xixi Clears to Zero

"You, you..."

Luo Shiqing stood there saying "you" for a long time without managing a complete sentence. Luo Xixi curled her lip and mimicked her: "I, I, I what? Shiqing, if you don't know what to say, you can shut up."

!!!

Upon hearing this, Luo Shiqing's anger instantly soared. If not for her persona of being gentle and kind, she would have really started cursing and spewing filth right now.

That bitch Luo Xixi!!!

"Third Brother, I feel like Sister really has a big opinion of me. It seems my going to participate in the variety show really made Sister unhappy. Although she says she doesn't mind, it's obvious she minds terribly. How about I just don't go? I don't want to make Sister angry again."

To maintain her white lotus image, Luo Shiqing could only find Luo Xinian to scold Luo Xixi.

Now that Luo Xinian was influenced by the Charm Water, as soon as Luo Shiqing acted pitiful, he acted as if he had lost his mind and glared at Luo Xixi again, "Luo Xixi, you..."

"What about me? Third Brother."

Luo Xixi blinked, looking at Luo Xinian with an innocent face.

"..."

Seeing Luo Xixi's "innocent" and "aggrieved" expression, Luo Xinian's heart stalled. The words on the tip of his tongue felt as if they were blocked, and he couldn't get them out no matter what.

That's right.

Luo Xixi hadn't actually done anything. In fact, he even felt that the things she said made quite a lot of sense.

But no! How could he approve of Luo Xixi? Luo Xixi was "bullying" Shiqing!

Just as Luo Xinian was caught in an internal struggle, Luo Xichuan had already pulled Luo Xixi behind him. His expression was somewhat cold, entirely lacking the gentleness he showed in front of Luo Xixi, as he said to his younger brother Luo Xinian: "Xinian, Xixi hasn't done anything. Take back that snarling face of yours!"

As he spoke, his gaze swept toward Luo Shiqing.

!!

Luo Shiqing felt her soul tremble under Luo Xinian's gaze, and she couldn't help but flinch. Then she heard Luo Xichuan say calmly: "Shiqing, aren't you being a bit too sensitive? How come I didn't see Xixi having any prejudice against you? And about the variety show, you were the one who said you wanted to go, and you were the one who said you didn't. If you're really that afraid of Sister being unhappy, then just don't go. It avoids conflict. What do you think?"

"Big Brother, I..."

Luo Shiqing's eyes immediately turned red, and she looked at Luo Xichuan with a pitiful expression.

Yet in her heart, she had already cursed Luo Xichuan to death.

Luo Xichuan, you bastard! Idiot! You've been bewitched by Luo Xixi and are even helping that bitch speak! No wonder you end up so miserably in the end; you brought this on yourself! Fine! You want to take Luo Xixi's side, right? Let's see how you crawl on the ground begging me later!

"Big Brother, what is wrong with you? Why can't Shiqing go just because Luo Xixi is unhappy? There's no such rule!"

Luo Xinian immediately defended Luo Shiqing.

Luo Xichuan swept a cold glance at his younger brother, his eyes filled with a trace of disappointment, and said: "Xinian, from beginning to end, Xixi hasn't said a single word of dissatisfaction. Isn't it you two who are here making random guesses and painting her as a vicious and jealous person? You defend Shiqing, but have you thought about Xixi's feelings? Xixi said she doesn't care, and even this variety show was something you agreed to on her behalf. When will you two be able to talk without bringing Xixi into it? Honestly, I'm not afraid of Shiqing being bullied right now; I'm afraid that you'll end up isolating and targeting Xixi!"

"How could I target her?"

Luo Xinian's face turned pale, and he glanced at Luo Xixi.

It was precisely because he had heard Luo Xixi's inner thoughts and knew that this girl was muttering in her heart that she was afraid he would bully her, that he had brought her to the variety show to prove he wasn't that excessive. How could he possibly want to bully or isolate her now?

"Heh, you'd better not. If I find out you're pulling any tricks to target Xixi on the show, don't think I'll let you off easily."

After stating his position.

Luo Xichuan turned back and said to Luo Xixi: "Xixi, let's go upstairs."

"Okay, Big Brother."

Luo Xixi nodded and prepared to go upstairs, when suddenly, Third Brother Luo Xinian called out to her again, saying: "Luo Xixi!!"

"Hm?"

Luo Xixi turned her head at the sound to look at Luo Xinian.

Luo Xichuan frowned, blocking Luo Xixi with one hand, and said to his younger brother with a displeased scowl: "Third, are you ever going to finish?"

"..." Luo Xinian looked at his big brother with a dark face, then his gaze swept to Luo Xixi, and he said stiffly: "Don't worry, although I don't like you, you are my sister after all. In front of outsiders, I will still maintain the image, so you don't have to worry about me targeting or isolating you!"

"Third, if you don't know how to speak, you can stay silent."

Luo Xichuan's face darkened as he warned him.

What kind of talk was that? "Although I don't like you"? But because of outsiders, he would pretend to be a friendly brother? So he was only not bullying her because he cared about his celebrity image?

Luo Xichuan really wanted to beat his younger brother up. How had he become such a scoundrel?

Luo Xixi blinked. She saw her Third Brother's face turning red, his eyes staring fixedly at her, as if he were trying very hard to express his thoughts.

Emmmm...

Although the words were unpleasant, Luo Xixi translated them slightly for herself. In other words, Third Brother wanted to tell her that he definitely wouldn't bully her. That was what he meant, right?

Even though Third Brother's disgust for her was at the maximum level due to the female lead's influence, he was still trying hard to insist on not hurting her. Luo Xixi couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

【Third Brother is truly a kind-hearted person.】

"Mm, I know."

Luo Xixi smiled at Luo Xinian.

Hearing Luo Xixi's inner voice, Luo Xichuan and Luo Xinian were both stunned.

????

A kind-hearted person??

"Xixi, you..."

Luo Xichuan was simply shocked by his sister's broad-mindedness. Even though Third Brother had been so excessive to her, and even if he wasn't targeting her, it was only for the sake of his celebrity image—yet even so, she still thought Third Brother was a good person?

This girl.

How could she be so kind? Too kind! Silly girl.

【Ding-dong! Host, Luo Xichuan's Favorability Value toward you has increased by 10 points. The current Favorability Value is 70 points! (⊙v⊙)】

The Baby System came online to report.

Luo Xixi responded calmly: 【Oh...】

Having already gotten used to the pattern of Big Brother increasing her Favorability Value, Luo Xixi wasn't as shocked as she had been before.

Luo Xixi did not notice that at this moment, her third brother Luo Xinian's expression was also shifting unpredictably; he stared at her intently, his inner heart in extreme turmoil and confusion.

Luo Xixi.

Why do you still think I am a good person?

I am clearly a bad person, a bad brother; I am not good to you at all, I always bully you, I speak unkindly, and I have never taken you out to play. Now, I am even shouting at you because of Shiqing. Since I am clearly so detestable, why do you still not hate me?

Luo Xixi, you are such a big idiot!

I am not, not at all as good as you think I am...

【Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Ding-dong!!!】

The Baby System suddenly began to jump frantically again, and it reported to Luo Xixi with extreme excitement: 【Congratulations, Host!! Luo Xinian's Guilt Value toward you has increased by 1000 points; the current Guilt Value is 2000 points, and Attention Value is 150 points. Given that the converted Favorability Value will exceed 100 points, I am now activating hedging mode for you. The 100 points of Disgust Value are completely offset, the Favorability Value attribute is unlocked, and the Attention Value is converted into 7.5 points of Favorability Value. Luo Xinian's current Favorability Value toward you is 7.5 points!!! \(≧▽≦)/】

... Ah (⊙_⊙)?

Okay.

After hearing the Baby System's report once more, the originally calm Luo Xixi was suddenly no longer calm.

What is going on?

Didn't you just say that because the female lead used a prop, the third brother's Disgust Value toward her reached the maximum level?

How did the Disgust Value suddenly clear to zero now? And the Favorability Value even went up by 7.5??? Tong'er, tell me the truth, are you malfunctioning or are you cheating?! You must choose one of the two! Forget it, looking at how your data is in such a mess, why don't you just choose both!
