Chapter 42: Yan Yu Gets Jealous

"I don't have any special relationship with Mr. Yan."

Luo Xixi hurried to distance herself from Yan Yu first, then added, "He has a good relationship with my third brother, and because of my third brother, I've met him a few times. So, out of respect for my third brother, Mr. Yan addresses me quite cordially."

"Is that so?"

Suna scanned Luo Xixi with half-belief, still feeling puzzled inside: she had just heard this woman's inner voice, right? And she actually said Yan Yu would cause her to be ruined, cause her to become depressed, jump off a building, and commit suicide?

But how could that be possible?

And how could she possibly know about these things? Besides, who was the heroine she mentioned?

Riddles surged in her mind one after another, making Suna's head feel like it was about to explode.

"Hmm?"

Seeing Suna's face turn a bit pale, Luo Xixi immediately asked with concern, "Miss Suna, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well? Would you like to sit in a shady spot?"

"No, it's nothing..."

Suna came back to her senses, her gaze falling on Luo Xixi again. She really wanted to ask Luo Xixi what was going on just now—had she really heard her inner voice? But what if it was an auditory hallucination? Then others would probably think she was mentally ill.

【Tsk tsk tsk, this great beauty is truly a feast for the eyes. Her skin is so fair, and she smells so good. That god-awful Yan Yu, to think he could eventually lay a hand on such a beautiful young lady—it's truly conscience-less! Ptooey!!!】

!!!!

She heard it again!!!

Suna's eyes widened, and she looked at Luo Xixi in astonishment, "You!!..."

"What's wrong?"

Seeing the beauty staring at her with wide, unblinking eyes, Luo Xixi became even more confused and asked, "Um, is there something dirty on my face?"

"..."

Suna's heart was beating extremely fast; she struggled to suppress the urge to ask.

For one thing, the idea of being able to read minds was too bizarre; secondly, she was also very curious why this woman would think Yan Yu would deal with her so ruthlessly, and where she learned these things.

Better to wait and see, to see if she could discover more useful information.

"Nothing."

Suna was indeed a leader among the new generation of female artists; after steadying her mind, her professional mode switched on in a second.

She revealed a gentle smile, plucked a leaf from the top of Luo Xixi's head, held it before her eyes, and said with a smile, "I just saw a leaf stuck in your hair. There, it's off now."

"(⊙o⊙) Oh..."

Looking at Suna, who was backlit and flashing a bright smile at her, Luo Xixi's heart thumped wildly.

【The beauty is pretty when she's not smiling, but even prettier when she does! Smile more! I love watching!!】

"..."

Hearing this, Suna raised her willow-leaf eyebrows slightly.

She had lived her whole life amidst flowers and adulation; she had heard so many compliments that she had grown callouses on her ears. But Suna was not blind; she knew very well that some people praised and fawned over her with their mouths, while their hearts were a different story.

But this was the first time Suna had seen a girl like Luo Xixi, who looked quite reserved on the surface but was blowing rainbow farts about her in her heart.

This Luo Xixi was actually quite interesting.

Over here.

The atmosphere between Luo Xixi and Suna was just right.

Meanwhile, not far away, Yan Yu, who was discussing survival plans with everyone, quietly looked toward Luo Xixi. Seeing her laughing and chatting with Suna, his expression shifted, and he looked thoughtful.

Luo Shiqing also noticed that Luo Xixi and Suna were together, and she was ecstatic.

【Great! That Cannon Fodder Luo Xixi has actually teamed up with the cannon fodder woman Suna. It seems the plot this time can proceed smoothly.】

Seeing this, the Heartthrob System also felt at ease: 【Host, I told you that as long as we enter the plot, everything will go smoothly. As long as you perform well on the variety show, those two cannon fodder women will naturally come to pick a fight and become stepping stones for your fame.】

【Got it, I will definitely exceed the mission requirements.】

While everyone was discussing the distribution of tasks, Luo Shiqing actively stepped up and offered ideas, "Everyone, I think we can go into the wild island first to understand the entire terrain, and then see if we can find a cave to shelter in."

"That's true. Only by understanding the terrain distribution on the island can we plan the schedule for the next week."

"Then shall we head into the wild island? Who is in favor, who is against?"

"I'm in favor!"

"I'm in favor too!"

【Wow, who is this young lady? She seems to have such leadership skills.】

【She must be a non-celebrity! Otherwise, with such beauty, it's impossible for her to have made no splash before!】

【Pretty, has her own opinions, love her, love her~】

After the barrage of comments drifted by.

The Heartthrob System came online to report to Luo Shiqing: 【Congratulations, Host, you have gained 1 point of Starlight Value. Please keep up the good work.】

Upon hearing this, Luo Shiqing curled her lips, feeling extremely smug. She said it herself: as long as it was something she wanted to do, there was nothing she couldn't accomplish. Now that she was beginning to show her talent, the second male lead should have noticed her by now, right?

But just as Luo Shiqing secretly glanced in Yan Yu's direction, she discovered that this man was actually walking toward Luo Xixi!

Actually, to be precise, Luo Xinian saw Luo Xixi slacking off and wanted to call her over, and the moment he moved, Yan Yu followed him immediately.

"Teacher Yan, you are..."

Seeing Yan Yu following behind him, Luo Xinian's eyelids twitched wildly, and his head was covered in black lines.

Yan Yu smiled slightly at him and asked in return, "What's wrong?"

"Why are you following me?"

"I'm going to call Teacher Suna over. They've been staying on the side for too long. Is there a problem?"

"Oh, is that so."

Luo Xinian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed he had used a petty mind to measure a gentleman's heart.

But this is all Luo Xixi's fault! Saying that Yan Yu likes him, which now makes him feel like this person has ulterior motives toward him whenever he sees Yan Yu.

The two walked toward Luo Xixi and Suna. After getting close, Luo Xinian said, "Xixi, why have you been hiding on the side the whole time? Everyone is discussing the upcoming arrangements right now; you should at least participate."

Luo Xixi said, "Isn't Shiqing already making the arrangements? I don't need to participate, right?"

This was the truth!

After all, the female lead needs to shine brightly and make a name for herself; if she meddles blindly, the female lead might just pop those copper-bell-sized eyes of hers out.

"What kind of talk is that? Are you really still minding her coming here?"

Luo Xinian frowned.

"I'm not."

Luo Xixi cried out in injustice in her heart: 【Please, the female lead is supposed to steal the spotlight on this variety show, okay? Can you just let the female lead perform to her heart's content and not drag me, this Cannon Fodder, into the muddy water?】

Suna was stunned upon hearing Luo Xixi's inner voice, and she looked calmly toward Luo Shiqing, who was still actively exchanging opinions with everyone.

Female lead?

So that's what she meant by Luo Xixi's younger sister?

Yan Yu will fall for this woman in the future? On what grounds?! Is she even worthy?

Luo Xinian felt helpless after hearing the inner voice; this girl was off imagining "female leads" and "Cannon Fodder" again. He didn't know why her imagination was so wild.

"Enough, stop talking nonsense! Come over with me!"

Luo Xinian didn't take no for an answer; he grabbed Luo Xixi by the back of her neck from behind and hauled her back like he was picking up a little chick.

"Hey, hey, Third Brother, let go, what does this look like?"

"Don't you speak!"

Luo Xinian led Luo Xixi in front, with Yan Yu and Suna following behind.

Suna's gaze swept over the handsome and indifferent man beside her. She had always liked Yan Yu, and for his sake, she didn't hesitate to breach her contract and quit a popular variety show to come to this obscure little one. Although she heard Luo Xixi's inner voice and learned that this man would leave her with nothing in the future, she still couldn't help but want to keep liking him, just like a moth to a flame, finding it sweet despite the bitterness.

"Teacher Yan, why did you come over too?"

Suna took the initiative to start a conversation.

Yan Yu's gaze was fixed on the two people in front, and without blinking, he said, "I came over to accompany Xinian."

"Xinian..."

Suna murmured, then teased, "This is the first time I've heard that you and Luo Xinian are so close."

It was clear that he never liked to hang around people before.

"Doesn't Teacher Suna also get along quite well with Xinian's sister?"

Yan Yu suddenly spoke up. He glanced sideways at Suna, getting straight to the point.

"You mean Luo Xixi?"

Suna was stunned for a moment. She glanced at Luo Xixi, and thinking of those inner thoughts of hers, she couldn't help but smile at the corners of her eyes and say leisurely, "She's alright, this little sister is quite interesting."

"..."

Yan Yu stopped talking. He pursed his thin lips and looked at the Attribute Panel in front of him.

It showed: Suna's Favorability Value toward Luo Xixi is 20 points, and Luo Xixi's Favorability Value toward Suna is also 20 points.

Even though it was a woman she was meeting for the first time, and one who held hostility toward her, on what grounds did Luo Xixi still have favorability toward her, and a full 20 points at that? Yan Yu looked at his own column of data again.

Disgust Value 2250 points.

Seeing that glaring four-digit number, Yan Yu nearly bit his teeth to pieces.

Luo Xixi, this double-standard freak! On what grounds is her malice toward him so great?!
