74. Chapter 74: Don't Ask, He Loves It Too Much

Luo Xixi hung up Yan Yu's call without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing this, the Baby System was shocked and hurriedly said: 【Host, why did you hang up on the second male lead?】

Luo Xixi said calmly: 【It's so late, why would the second male lead be calling me? He probably just pressed the wrong button, right?】

Who would have thought.

Just as she finished speaking.

The phone rang again.

It was still Yan Yu calling.

Luo Xixi: 【...】

The Baby System asked tentatively: 【Host, was this also just pressing the wrong button? (⊙v⊙)】

Luo Xixi: 【@@#￥#@￥#%#￥……】

She now seriously suspected that her Baby System had become black-bellied and had even learned to mock her.

Although the second male lead was a goddamn scoundrel, calling her so late might really mean he had something important to discuss; after all, that man wouldn't visit a temple without a reason, and it was highly likely he also had a system, so missing the call really wouldn't be good.

Luo Xixi took a breath, then answered the phone.

"Hello."

"Xixi, I didn't disturb your sleep, did I?"

Yan Yu's voice was clear and light, rippling with a bewitching smile; Luo Xixi felt as if this bastard was thinking about seducing someone every single moment.

Why did his voice have to sound so good? Did he think that just because he called in the middle of the night like this, she wouldn't scold him?

She said to the man with a forced smile: "Big Brother, you don't even look at what time it is; do you have no idea whether you're disturbing someone's sleep?"

"Xixi, when did I become your Big Brother? Am I not your A-Yu?"

Yan Yu asked innocently.

Luo Xixi: "..."

You bastard, now that there's no one else around, you're just letting yourself go, aren't you?

Seeming to sense Luo Xixi's speechlessness, Yan Yu laughed innocently again and said: "Just joking with you, you aren't angry again, are you?"

"Heh..."

Luo Xixi discovered that this Yan Yu might actually be a two-faced person; he could be gentle and reserved when others were around, but now that it was the dead of night, why had he become so talkative and his personality so lively?

She knew his coldness was just an act!

She had long since seen through this guy's nature; he was just like that nemesis of hers from her past life, utterly despicable!

"Can you get straight to the point? It's so late, doesn't Mr. Yan need to rest?"

Luo Xixi asked coldly.

Yan Yu, however, said: "There's no one else here now, can't you call me A-Yu?"

Luo Xixi: "..."

"If you call me that, I'll tell you a secret."

"What secret?"

"Call me first, then I'll tell you."

"@#&￥%@#￥……"

What breed of elementary schooler was this?

Sorry, she shouldn't insult elementary schoolers; elementary schoolers were much more mature than this person.

"A! Yu!"

Luo Xixi squeezed the words out through her teeth and gritted them: "Can you tell me the secret now?"

"Heh~"

Hearing Luo Xixi call him "A-Yu," Yan Yu seemed to be in a very good mood and said: "Actually, I saw your sister, Shiqing, at the club tonight; she was walking very closely with a man."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Luo Xixi's heart jolted.

The female lead had indeed ended up getting together with the male lead.

This was about what she had expected.

However, the dispirited Luo Xixi didn't know what she could do even if she knew the female lead was with the male lead right now; she gave a perfunctory response and said: "Oh, I see. Thank you for telling me this. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."

"Wait..."

"Snap!"

She hung up the phone directly.

Seeing this, the Baby System was dumbfounded and said: 【Host, the second male lead clearly asked you to wait, why did you hang up the phone?】

Luo Xixi said calmly: 【My hand was too fast; I hung up before I could even react.】

Baby System: 【...】

Host, I suspect you are harboring a personal grudge and just don't like the second male lead.

Luo Xixi: Heh, you caught me.

But Yan Yu was clearly not a person who was easy to get rid of; as soon as Luo Xixi hung up the phone, he immediately dialed again.

The ringtone echoed in the room, continuous and unending.

Seeing this, veins bulged on Luo Xixi's forehead; this person really wouldn't stop, would he!

The Baby System advised: 【Host, you should just answer it. Now that the relationship between the female lead and the male lead is getting closer and closer, this is a huge challenge for us to complete our mission. But the second male lead is clearly leaning toward us now; even if we don't cooperate, we at least shouldn't make an enemy of him.】

How could Luo Xixi not understand this logic?

In truth, she really was feeling too annoyed, and had taken it out on the second male lead a bit.

She should reflect on that.

She had acted too immaturely.

After reflecting for two seconds, Luo Xixi reconnected the call.

"Hello, A-Yu, is there anything else?"

Having reflected, Luo Xixi put on a different face.

"..."

Hearing this girl suddenly become gentle and soft-spoken, and even take the initiative to call him "A-Yu," Yan Yu seemed to be stunned for a moment, not quite having adjusted to it; after half a second, he suddenly laughed and said, "You flip your attitude way too fast, don't you? Is your mood suddenly better?"

"If you have something to say, just say it."

"..."

Alright, her mood was not better yet.

Yan Yu said with some helplessness: "A lot of negative comments about you have appeared online. I was worried you would be affected, and that your family members might also have opinions about you if they saw those posts, so I wanted to ask if you were alright. If you feel upset, I can chat with you. Having someone by your side can at least help you work through it."

Luo Xixi was a bit surprised after hearing this; she hadn't expected the second male lead to be so meddlesome.

She gave a dry laugh and said, "Is that so? Then you don't need to worry."

"What do you mean?"

"Those evaluations online have no impact on me, and my family completely trusts me. They haven't doubted for a second whether I did those things. I'm doing just fine right now; they're even worried that I might be hurt."

"..."

After hearing this, Yan Yu fell silent.

Luo Xixi continued: "If that's what you wanted to talk about, then thank you for your concern, but I'm fine. You don't need to comfort me."

After Luo Xixi finished speaking, another few seconds passed.

Yan Yu suddenly chuckled, his tone carrying a hint of ambiguous teasing as he said, "I couldn't tell, you've gotten along so well with your family. I thought they would be influenced and have prejudices against you."

Mentioning the Luo Family, Luo Xixi was in a rather good mood and said leisurely: "I thought they would be influenced too, but we are family after all! They wouldn't be misled by a bunch of outsiders!"

"It seems you really like them."

"Duh, they are my family, of course I like them!"

"Alright then."

Yan Yu seemed to let out a breath, and he laughed in spite of himself, saying: "I thought you would be having a hard time these past few days, so I specifically called to comfort you. I didn't expect there would be no need for me to step in, but seeing you so happy, it doesn't matter."

"..."

Luo Xixi was a bit confused by these words.

She really wanted to ask: Are we that close? Do I need you to comfort me? Who are you to me? Why do you have that tone of an old father feeling gratified?

However, feeling that would be too tactless, Luo Xixi held back and didn't say it, instead politely thanking him: "In any case, I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

"Mm, then get some rest, Xixi."

"Alright, you get some rest early too, A-Yu."

After Luo Xixi finished chatting with Yan Yu, she lay back down on the bed. She closed her eyes to brew some sleepiness, then suddenly opened them again and blurted out a question: 【So why on earth did this guy have to call me in the middle of the night???】

Baby System: 【...】

Don't ask.

If you ask, it's because the second male lead loves her so much.
