88. Chapter 88: This Must Be Love

【Hahaha...】

Luo Xixi gave a dry laugh. This time, she couldn't even call her Baby System love-brained, because the second male lead's words did sound quite ambiguous. What did he mean by saying he could do anything she wanted to do for her?

Anyone who didn't know better would think the second male lead was confessing to her.

But Luo Xixi still had self-awareness; she wouldn't think the second male lead was actually interested in her. It was probably related to the second male lead's mission, which was why he was helping her so much.

"Mm, I understand. Thank you, A-Yu."

Luo Xixi responded politely.

The Baby System expressed its opinion on Luo Xixi's attitude: 【Host, why are you so cold to the second male lead? He said that to you, you should respond more enthusiastically.】

Luo Xixi asked curiously: 【How enthusiastic do you think I should be?】

The Baby System began to offer advice to Luo Xixi, saying: 【For example, Host, you could say: Dear, I'm so happy, thank you, love you~ o(≧▽≦)o】

Luo Xixi: 【... You'd better just shut up.】

Baby System: 【Oh... (T_T)】

"..." Seeing that he had said all that and this girl still had such an oblivious reaction, Yan Yu felt a bit secretly annoyed: This idiot, he was one step away from confessing, and she was really just impervious to reason, right?

There was no help for it; if one side was oblivious, the one doing the chasing had to be more proactive.

After taking a breath, Yan Yu readjusted his state and smiled at Luo Xixi again, teasing, "Xixi, I've done you a huge favor this time, right? Is there any reward?"

Luo Xixi: "!!!!"

【Tong'er, listen to this!! Isn't he starting to ask me for benefits now? I told you, this person never gets up early without a profit; he definitely had an ulterior motive for helping me!!!】

Now it was the Baby System's turn to be speechless: 【...】

Um, Host, isn't it obvious that he's just actively trying to interact and chat with you because he sees you have no reaction?

But never mind.

The Host wouldn't listen to it anyway.

Her Host seemed unable to accept others' kindness toward her with peace of mind. Once someone showed her goodwill, she would add a motive to the other person's kindness. Damn! It seems it's still the psychological trauma causing trouble!

Because she suspected Yan Yu had other intentions, Luo Xixi was instead able to face Yan Yu calmly. She let out a breath and asked, "Since you helped me, I should repay you. What reward do you want?"

By now, Luo Xixi had prepared herself mentally. After all, Yan Yu had helped her change the beauty's death ending, so as long as it wasn't something particularly outrageous or against her principles, she could do it for him.

Yan Yu chuckled: "Is that a promise? In that case, Xixi, save some time on the weekend to keep me company."

"Huh?"

Luo Xixi was stunned, "Just that?"

"Just that, is that okay?"

"Uh, that's fine too."

Luo Xixi was a bit confused. She had thought the second male lead wanted her to do some high-difficulty task, but it turned out he just wanted her to set aside time to accompany him? What kind of reward was that?

However, Luo Xixi didn't dare to let her guard down. What if he planned to lure her out and then make her do something?

That wasn't impossible!

"Okay."

Having received Luo Xixi's response, Yan Yu was satisfied and said with a smile: "Xixi, then I'll contact you again on the weekend."

"Mm, sure."

"Then I'm hanging up."

"Go ahead and hang up."

"Xixi, aren't you going to say goodbye to me?" Yan Yu's voice was a bit resentful.

"???"

Did this person have to be so childish?

Luo Xixi's mouth twitched slightly, but she still followed Yan Yu's wishes and said: "A-Yu, goodbye."

Hearing the farewell, Yan Yu's tone lifted, and he seemed very happy: "Mm, goodbye Xixi, I'm hanging up now."

"Just hang up!!"

This time.

The phone was finally hung up.

Luo Xixi let out a long breath and immediately complained to the Baby System: 【Is it my imagination? Why does the second male lead feel so childish?】

The Baby System said in a dark, secretive tone: 【Host, perhaps this is love.】

Luo Xixi: 【...】

She was wrong.

She shouldn't have complained to this love-brained little idiot.

Evening.

The Luo Family gathered together for dinner.

Because Suna successfully avoided the death ending, Luo Shiqing held a grudge against Luo Xixi. Although because of the "obstacle," the Heartthrob System couldn't find out who was helping Suna behind the scenes, Luo Shiqing's intuition told her that this matter definitely had something to do with Luo Xixi.

This bitch!

Why does she always ruin her good deeds?

Why can't she just peacefully be a dead Cannon Fodder? Why does she hinder her again and again!

Luo Xixi was stared at by the female lead's resentful gaze. She didn't know if the female lead had some special ability, but being pricked by her gaze like this, she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. She couldn't help but mutter in her heart:

【Great Female Lead, can you stop glaring at me? You can break your character if you want, but can you not involve me? The beauty didn't provoke you much either; is avoiding a death ending really enough to make you this uncomfortable? You popped the champagne halfway through, mocked me in the morning, and now that you've been slapped in the face, you can't blame me for that.】

The Luo family members were all stunned when they heard Luo Xixi's inner voice.

They looked toward Luo Shiqing calmly, and sure enough, they saw Luo Shiqing staring fixedly at Luo Xixi, completely lost in her own world.

The parents of the Luo Family were still confused.

They didn't quite understand what their daughter Xixi meant by "the great beauty" in her inner voice, or what a "death ending" was; what was going on? They both felt as if they had missed out on a fortune and had overlooked many things.

As for the third brother, Luo Xinian, because he had spent a few days on the deserted island with Luo Xixi, he knew that the "great beauty" in her heart referred to Suna.

Today, Suna had suddenly been subjected to a smear campaign across the entire internet and was nearly forced to quit the entertainment industry, but then an anti-smear video was released in the afternoon, which directly and completely reversed the public opinion about her.

This should have been a good thing, but now, listening to Luo Xixi's inner voice, it seemed that the other sister, Luo Shiqing, was very dissatisfied with this matter, and had even mocked Luo Xixi earlier that morning because of Suna?

He had originally thought, could it be that Luo Xixi had gotten something wrong?

But looking at the expression on his sister Luo Shiqing's face again, he couldn't help but feel dazed and numb, as if there was a fishbone stuck in his throat.

In his impression, Shiqing should have been a gentle and kind girl, but what was this vicious look on her face now? Was this really an expression that would appear on Shiqing? It was as if she had turned into a different person.

What on earth was going on?

Where had the Shiqing he knew gone?

Among the few people there, only the eldest brother, Luo Xichuan, reacted calmly after hearing the inner voice.

His gaze swept across Luo Shiqing's face without a trace, and he was not particularly surprised when he saw her venomous and resentful eyes; furthermore, regarding the matter of Xixi being smeared and cyberbullied these past few days, Luo Xichuan also had the results of his investigation.

Since everyone was present today, Luo Xichuan felt it was a good time to announce it, so he put down his chopsticks and said to his family, "Dad, Mom, regarding the matter of Xixi being maliciously smeared a few days ago, I have the results of the investigation."
