57. Chapter 57 Yan Yu: Stupid Xixi, she's infuriating him to death

【Host, I feel something is wrong. I still think the second male lead is here for you, not for your third brother.】

The Baby System secretly refuted Luo Xixi's speculation.

Luo Xixi, however, argued her case: 【How could he be here for me? He pays quite a lot of attention to my third brother! My third brother and he clearly aren't even close, yet the moment my third brother mentioned my Recognition Banquet, he came immediately. Plus, he doesn't seem to have a good attitude toward my other brothers; he's indifferent even when meeting my eldest brother. But he's very close to my third brother, even calling him "Xinian, Xinian"—if that's not being interested in my third brother, what is? And now, whenever I get close to my third brother, he shows a jealous and annoyed expression. It's obvious he thinks I'm a third wheel, getting in the way of him and my third brother!】

【But Host, if you look at it from another angle, the second male lead is here for you, and the above behaviors still hold true.】

【Tong'er, why do you always think the second male lead is here for me?】 Luo Xixi said helplessly: 【What virtue or ability do I, a Cannon Fodder female supporting character, have?】

【Host, why do you always belittle yourself?】

The Baby System encouraged her: 【You are not Cannon Fodder at all; you are the protagonist of your own life!】

Luo Xixi, however, was unconvinced: 【Forget it, I won't be delusional enough to think I'm the protagonist. I'm just Cannon Fodder.】

【Host, you...】

The Baby System felt a bit helpless. It discovered that its Host had a very negative mindset. Clearly, she could do well if she just put in the effort, but she was unwilling to take even a single step forward, always retreating into her own shell as if she wouldn't get hurt as long as she didn't invest herself.

The Host's heart must be covered in scars; this likely had something to do with her past life.

The Baby System didn't force Luo Xixi, saying instead: 【Alright, actually, regardless of what the second male lead's specific mission content is, as long as it's beneficial to us, he's an ally we can win over!】

【Right!】

Just as Luo Xixi was communicating mentally with the Baby System, Yan Yu suddenly walked up to her.

"Xixi, is something the matter?"

Yan Yu's eyes held a suave smile.

"Huh? (⊙_⊙?)"

Luo Xixi was stunned, not yet understanding what Yan Yu meant.

Seeing Luo Xixi's reaction and her innocent look, Yan Yu said: "Haven't you been looking at me the whole time? I thought you were looking for me for something. Did I misunderstand?"

Luo Xixi: "..."

【Please, big brother, weren't you the one staring at me the whole time? I only looked back at you because I couldn't stand being stared at by you, okay! You really are something—if you want to walk with my third brother, just say so. Why are you shifting the blame and framing me?】

!!

Luo Xinian, standing to the side, heard Luo Xixi's inner voice and was instantly startled, looking at Yan Yu with a terrified expression.

Why does this person want to walk with him?

What exactly is his motive?

"..."

Seeing the unpredictable expressions on this pair of siblings, the smile on Yan Yu's face could barely be maintained.

This stupid woman.

How is her imagination so wild!

Just as the three of them were staring at each other.

The girls not far away called out: "Boys, come over quickly! We found a lot of crabs over here!"

"Hm? There are crabs?"

Luo Xixi hurriedly broke the silence, preparing to slip away, saying: "Um, Third Brother, Teacher Yan, you two chat slowly. I'm going to go check on the girls."

【I'm creating opportunities for you, stop dumping the blame on me!】

However.

Luo Xixi had only taken two steps.

"Hold on!"

"Wait!"

Yan Yu and Luo Xinian were seen grabbing one of Luo Xixi's hands each.

Luo Xixi's heart skipped a beat, and she looked back: "What's wrong?"

"I'll go with you!"

Luo Xinian said with a slightly pale complexion.

He didn't want to stay alone with a man who might have designs on him!

Yan Yu's expression wasn't good either, but he held on, looking at Luo Xixi with longing eyes and saying: "Didn't the girls ask the boys to go over? Why are you running so fast, Xixi? Wouldn't it be better if we all went together?"

"..."

Luo Xixi's eyes darted between her third brother and Yan Yu. Seeing her third brother's troubled look and his fear of men, then listening to Yan Yu's words, she had an epiphany.

【This guy realized Third Brother is afraid of men and was afraid he'd be awkward, so that's why he wanted to pull me along? So that's it.】

Yan Yu: "..."

Do you have to have such a wild imagination??!

"Alright, then shall we go together?"

Luo Xixi looked at her grabbed hands and said to Yan Yu: "Teacher Yan, you can let go now."

Yan Yu didn't let go immediately; he turned to Luo Xinian and said: "Teacher Luo, Xixi says you can let go of her hand now."

Luo Xixi: "!!"

【Why is this scoundrel so fond of twisting my words? Is he now so petty that he's jealous to the point of death just because Third Brother touched me? Don't be so jealous! You're scaring my third brother!】

Hearing Luo Xixi's inner voice, Luo Xinian was indeed trembling with fright.

Yan Yu: "..."

Luo Xixi, that is really enough.

——

Not far away.

The female guests also saw the scene of Yan Yu and Luo Xinian pulling Luo Xixi along together.

"What are Teacher Yan and the others doing?"

Hearing the female guests' words, Luo Shiqing also turned her head to look, and saw a scene that made her eyes widen in fury; the Heartthrob System detected that Luo Shiqing's emotions were unstable and hurriedly soothed her: 【Host, calm down, don't forget our plan!】

【I haven't forgotten!】 Luo Shiqing nearly ground her teeth to pieces, and asked with a trembling body: 【But am I just going to keep watching Luo Xixi be so smug? She can even gain Starlight Value just from picking a coconut, why!】

The Heartthrob System offered Luo Shiqing an idea, 【Since Luo Xixi is so conspicuous right now and is even being paid attention to by the second male lead, Host, you can try to incite Suna and let her and Luo Xixi fight like dogs first.】

【That's right!】

Hearing the Heartthrob System's prompt, Luo Shiqing was overjoyed: 【How could I have forgotten about the other Cannon Fodder?】

She hurriedly looked toward Suna, and sure enough, she saw Suna also looking in Luo Xixi's direction; Luo Shiqing was secretly delighted, that bitch cares so much about Yan Yu, she must be sour to death and bubbling with jealousy right now, right?

Luo Shiqing walked to Suna's side without changing her expression and sighed, saying: "Teacher Suna, I didn't expect Teacher Yan to have such a good relationship with my sister. I feel like Teacher Yan really likes my sister a lot. It's such a pity; clearly I feel like Teacher Suna and Teacher Yan are a better match, yet my sister is always pestering Teacher Yan..."

Who would have expected.

Before Luo Shiqing's voice had even faded.

Suna suddenly turned her head, interrupted her with an annoyed expression, and said: "I say, Miss Luo, are you trying to play the game of sowing discord with me?"

Luo Shiqing: "???"

"Did I not tell you before? I told you not to use that tone to talk to me. There are plenty of your little tricks in this circle; how dare you make a fool of yourself in front of me? I see that you are the one who is unhappy that Teacher Yan has a good relationship with your sister, so you want to incite me to be the scapegoat and help you cause trouble, right? Do I look like that stupid of a person to you?"
