Chapter 47: Xixi interacts with Yan Yu, and the male lead is unhappy

Yan Yu grabbed Luo Xixi's hand and stared at her palm. He saw that the center of Luo Xixi's palm was already rubbed red, with some parts even having broken skin. This made Yan Yu's expression look increasingly unsightly, and the aura around him turned cold and gloomy as well.

"Um, Mr. Yan, what are you doing?"

Luo Xixi hurriedly pulled her hand back and kept her distance from Yan Yu.

"..."

Yan Yu raised his eyes and stared intently at Luo Xixi. His pitch-black pupils seemed to be suppressing surging, intense emotions as he spoke: "Your palm is rubbed raw."

"Huh?"

Luo Xixi was stunned. Only then did she belatedly look at her palm, and sure enough, it was rubbed raw.

However, this was no big deal to her. After all, she had suffered all kinds of injuries, big and small, in the past. This little bit of broken skin was just a drizzle compared to the past and wasn't worth mentioning.

But seeing Yan Yu looking even more uncomfortable than she was, Luo Xixi felt it was inexplicable and couldn't help but retort sheepishly, "Haha, isn't this all thanks to you?"

!

As soon as these words were spoken, Yan Yu's expression darkened a few more shades.

He clenched the hand hanging by his side, and the words rolled around his throat several times before he slowly spat them out: "I, I didn't think it would turn out like this..."

Because Luo Xixi was always targeting him, out of so many people, she had the greatest prejudice against him and inexplicably kept increasing her Disgust Value toward him. He couldn't get over it for a moment, so he deliberately went against her and pushed her to the forefront, wanting to see her angry and embarrassed look.

But he hadn't expected that this would cause her to injure her hand.

"Oh..."

Luo Xixi saw that Yan Yu was in low spirits and seemed genuinely self-reproachful, so she began to ponder: What is wrong with this person? I thought he just wanted to make me uncomfortable and was deliberately stirring up trouble, but now it seems that isn't the case.

"Don't get your hand wet for now. If there's work, let others do it."

Yan Yu exhorted Luo Xixi.

"Got it."

Although she couldn't guess what Yan Yu was thinking, since he was now showing concern, Luo Xixi felt it wouldn't be good to retort again, so she obediently nodded.

Seeing Luo Xixi's slightly dazed and well-behaved appearance, Yan Yu paused, couldn't help but let out a light breath, and revealed a somewhat helpless smile.

"You..."

Clearly, her Disgust Value toward him is so high, but as soon as he shows a little kindness, her fur is smoothed down again.

Idiot.

It's because you're like this that you always end up getting hurt.

"Huh?"

At this moment, Liu Dao noticed Yan Yu and Luo Xixi in the corner. Being sharp, he immediately sensed a hot topic and told the cameraman to aim the lens at them.

The viewers in the livestream room saw the two of them huddled together and, sure enough, it boiled over.

【What the hell? I saw God Yu smile!!】

【So what if he smiled? Can't people smile? The fans are a bit like the butler in a novel; it's been a long time since I've seen the young master smile like this.】

【Why is the person above mocking? Is it worth being so reactive just because a fan expressed an exclamation? Also, I have to say, this is indeed the first time I've seen God Yu smile so heartily!】

【I feel like God Yu is quite attentive to this Luo Xixi.】

【God Yu is also very attentive to Luo Xinian! He's just good friends with this pair of siblings, okay!】

【But I haven't seen him have a good relationship with the other sister.】

【Maybe he's just not familiar with the other one!】

The netizens discussed it heatedly.

And it wasn't just netizens watching the livestream; there was also Sheng Tinglan.

At the Shengshi Group Headquarters.

The CEO's office.

Sheng Tinglan propped his head with one hand, pursed his lips, and scanned the mobile phone screen in front of him indifferently. On the screen, it happened to be the scene of Luo Xixi and Yan Yu huddled together.

Yan Yu had a faint, helpless smile on his face, while Luo Xixi appeared somewhat at a loss.

Originally, there was nothing for Sheng Tinglan to watch here. The reason he watched the livestream was to see the situation of the female lead, Luo Shiqing. Who would have thought the director would suddenly cut the footage to Yan Yu and Luo Xixi.

And seeing these two, Sheng Tinglan felt an indescribable irritability in his heart.

It was an eyesore.

Seeing Yan Yu staying by Luo Xixi's side, and then thinking about how the female Cannon Fodder in this story actually used the same name as Luo Xixi, Sheng Tinglan found everything about it disagreeable.

【System, what is going on with these two? Didn't you say that in this variety show, the female lead would develop a relationship with the second male lead? Why does the second male lead keep sticking by this female Cannon Fodder?】

The "Take You to the Peak of Life" system came online and said in a mechanical, business-like tone: 【Perhaps the female lead did not follow the plot route, causing the plot to deviate.】

【Did not follow the plot route?】

【Yes, she made two plot errors. One was not catching the snake, and the other was not starting a fire, which caused the attention that should have been on her to be snatched away by this female Cannon Fodder. The second male lead was likely also influenced by the Starlight Value, which is why he appeared by the female Cannon Fodder's side.】

【How is this Luo Shiqing so useless?】

Sheng Tinglan frowned and said unhappily: 【If this continues, won't the second male lead just keep sticking with this female Cannon Fodder?】

【If the female lead doesn't take action as soon as possible, the probability of the second male lead being with the female Cannon Fodder is not zero.】

【...】

Hearing that the second male lead might be with Luo Xixi, Sheng Tinglan's brows furrowed even tighter. He made a prompt decision and called his Chief Secretary, Liu Yun, over.

"CEO Sheng, what are your orders?"

The Chief Secretary asked.

Sheng Tinglan instructed: "Tell the Public Relations Department to organize it and buy some internet trolls for this Luo Shiqing to boost her popularity."

"What?"

The Chief Secretary was surprised upon hearing this.

Luo Shiqing?

Isn't this the girl who kept clinging to President Sheng at the nightclub a while ago? He had thought it was just a fleeting affair since the two hadn't been in contact lately, but who would have known President Sheng was still paying attention to this girl's variety show.

He even had him find the Public Relations Department to boost her popularity!

President Sheng had never paid such attention or care to any woman before!

As the Secretary-General, Liu Yun immediately realized that Shiqing likely held extraordinary significance to President Sheng, so he didn't ask any more questions, simply nodding in agreement, "Yes, I will go handle it right away."

【Host, according to netizen feedback, your negative impression is increasing; your current Starlight Value is zero, and your public favorability continues to decline. Please react in time.】

The Heartthrob System reminded Shiqing.

Shiqing asked irritably: 【I want to! But isn't there no opportunity for me to perform right now? The limelight has all been stolen by that damn Luo Xixi. Wait, why did the second male lead run to Luo Xixi's side again? Why does he love staying next to Luo Xixi so much!!】

At this moment, Shiqing noticed Yan Yu's things and was so angry her eyes were about to pop out.

She felt more and more that something was wrong; ever since Yan Yu didn't follow the plot and suddenly appeared at the Recognition Banquet, Shiqing had felt that Yan Yu's behavior always seemed to contradict the plot, but before she could think it through.

The Heartthrob System suddenly said happily: 【Host, your Starlight Value is rising! Current Starlight Value is 5 points!】

【What did you say!!】

Shiqing's attention was immediately pulled back, and she asked in surprise: 【I haven't done anything yet, so why did my Starlight Value go up?】

The Heartthrob System immediately detected the reason and then replied: 【In the livestream room, positive evaluations of you are increasing, so the Starlight Value has risen along with them.】

【Really? I haven't done anything yet, so why have the positive reviews for me increased at this time?】

【Please wait a moment, Host, I am tracing the source.】

After a while.

The Heartthrob System found the truth and said: 【It was the male lead who had someone buy internet trolls for you to help boost your popularity.】

【The male lead helped me boost my popularity?】

Shiqing was both surprised and happy, 【Why is he helping me?】

【It is likely that your interaction with the male lead last time exceeded the Favorability Value goal, leading him to spontaneously act to protect you.】

【So that's how it is!】

Shiqing was overjoyed and immediately became confident again: 【As expected, this is how it should be. If the male lead doesn't know how to protect the female lead, is he even worthy of being the male lead? Since my Starlight Value has risen now, the second male lead's attention should return to me, right?】

The Heartthrob System also felt that the rise in Starlight Value was a good omen and encouraged her: 【Host, you can now try to interact with the second male lead to increase his Favorability Value toward you.】

【Alright, I'll go now.】

Just as Shiqing had a flash of inspiration, she swayed her waist and ran toward the direction of Luo Xixi and Yan Yu. When she got close to the two, Shiqing immediately called out in a delicate voice: "Sister... oh my..."

Before the words had even fallen, Shiqing's body lurched forward, falling directly toward Yan Yu's embrace...
