Chapter 9: Xixi likes Big Brother, Third Brother is super annoyed

【System!!! What is going on here?! According to the plot, shouldn't Big Brother be giving the other necklace to me? Why isn't he giving me the necklace now? Without the necklace, how is the plot supposed to proceed??】

Shiqing was going crazy.

Why were there nothing but things not going her way day after day?

The Heartthrob System came online to explain: 【It is possible that the previous plot changed, triggering a butterfly effect. Because according to the plot, Loxinian would only loathe Luo Xixi, but would not push her downstairs. However, Host, you used Charm Water to forcibly max out Loxinian's Disgust Value toward Luo Xixi, which caused the plot to change, and the subsequent plot has been modified accordingly.】

【How could this be!!! Then what is the plot that follows?】

【The new plot manuscript has not been received yet, please wait patiently.】

【！！！！】

Luo Xixi was also bewildered.

What was going on with the plot progression being different from what the Baby System said?

The Baby System also quickly came online to explain to Luo Xixi: 【Host, it is the same situation as last night. Because the plot change triggered a butterfly effect, the plot of stealing the necklace has also changed accordingly. The new plot has not been received yet; let us wait and see for now.】

Fine then.

Since there was no new plot yet, Luo Xixi would just improvise.

She clutched the necklace in her hand and thanked Loxichuan politely, saying, "Thank you, Big Brother. I really like this gift; I will cherish it well from now on. (⊙v⊙)"

After all, having received such an expensive gift, she still had to say some polite words.

"……"

The cold and aloof Loxichuan looked at his younger sister's well-behaved and sensible appearance, and a certain spot in his heart felt as if it had been lightly brushed by something.

【Ding—Host, Loxichuan's Favorability Value toward you has risen again; it is now 10 points! \(≧▽≦)/】

【Tsk tsk……】

Hearing this, Luo Xixi clicked her tongue in her heart.

The favorability of a Cannon Fodder character is just so easy to farm; a random sentence can increase the Favorability Value.

Off to the side, Shiqing also learned from the Heartthrob System that Loxichuan's Favorability Value toward Luo Xixi had risen again, and she was so angry her face turned green.

【Rise your damn rise! System, don't report such things to me in the future, it's annoying!!】

【……Understood.】

"Let me put it on for you."

Loxichuan said to Luo Xixi in a gentle voice.

"Okay, thank you, Big Brother."

"You're welcome."

Loxichuan put the necklace on Luo Xixi, a soft smile on his handsome and refined face as he said, "It suits you very well, Xixi."

"Hehe……"

It was the first time Luo Xixi had been given a gift by someone, and she was even being flattered, so her own favorability toward Loxichuan was also rising rapidly.

【I feel like Big Brother is easier to get along with than I imagined, and his smile is nice too. I've decided, I like Big Brother.】

Hearing his sister's inner voice, the smile on Loxichuan's previously calm face became a few degrees more obvious.

Loxinian, standing to the side, also heard Luo Xixi's inner voice. Hearing her say she liked Big Brother, he felt an indescribable sense of depression in his heart, yet he didn't know why he should feel depressed.

What did it have to do with him who Luo Xixi liked?

His only sister was Shiqing; who was Luo Xixi? He really didn't know her well.

But……

……

Damn it!

Thinking that when he met Luo Xixi, he hadn't even prepared a meeting gift for her, and he had even thrown her downstairs and smashed her head open—even if she were a stranger, he couldn't have been more excessive than that, right?

Loxinian felt so restless inside.

Restless to death!!

【Ding—Host, Loxinian's Attention Value toward you has risen by 100 points. 100 points of Attention Value can be converted into 5 points of Favorability Value, but since the current Favorability Value is 0, the conversion option cannot be opened for the time being.】

【Ah? (⊙_⊙?)…… Hey, hey, hey? What the hell is Attention Value? Don't give me some weird attributes!】

"Dad, Mom, have Xixi's room and daily necessities not been prepared yet?"

Loxichuan had just heard his sister say that she seemed to have slept in the third brother's room last night, so they must not have cleared a room for her yet.

Bai Fengxia said guiltily, "Not yet. We planned to set up everything new for Xixi today, but the things we ordered haven't arrived yet."

Loxichuan glanced at the watch on his wrist and said, "I don't have anything urgent today. I'll go out and purchase things for Xixi in a while."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xixi immediately became interested and said, "Big Brother, can I go out with you in a while?"

Her room hadn't been cleared out yet, so she could only stay in the main hall, but that meant staring blankly at the female lead and the third brother. Honestly, she didn't care for either of them, so it would be better to go out and clear her head with Big Brother.

After all, Big Brother seemed easier to get along with and didn't have so many troublesome issues.

"I suppose that's fine."

Loxichuan's gaze fell on Luo Xixi's head, which was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, and he hesitated slightly, "But you still have an injury on your head; do you want to rest a bit more?"

"It doesn't matter!"

Luo Xixi said immediately, "This is just a small injury! Big Brother, if you don't believe me, I can do a few somersaults for you to see right now!"

As she spoke, Luo Xixi was about to do a somersault.

Loxichuan hurriedly stopped his sister. He sighed, looking somewhat helpless, and said, "Alright, since you want to go out so much, you can come with me in a while."

"Mm! Thank you, Big Brother."

"Family members don't need to say thank you all the time."

"Got it, Big Brother!"

Looking at his sister's (⊙v⊙) well-behaved expression, Loxichuan was moved once again.

【Ding—Host, Luo Xichuan's Favorability Value toward you has increased by another 5 points; current Favorability Value is 15 points. \(≧▽≦)/】

【Oh my...】

Hearing the system's frequent notifications, Luo Xixi sighed once again; the Favorability Value of Cannon Fodder is really too easy to farm!! _(: з」∠)_

After lunch.

Luo Xixi was about to head out with her eldest brother, Luo Xichuan.

Her mother, Bai Fengxia, followed them to the door and worriedly instructed, "Xichuan, Xixi still has a wound on her forehead. You must be careful not to let her bump it again, don't take her to places with strong winds, and also, you must pay attention to pedestrians on the road, don't let anyone bump into Xixi, and also..."

Because her mother kept on chattering endlessly, Luo Xichuan stopped her and said, "Mom, I will protect Xixi well, don't worry."

"Alright then."

Bai Fengxia tried hard to suppress her worry and added, "Since Xixi is going out with you, help her buy some clothes and jewelry while you're at it. Your father and I have discussed it; in a week, our family will hold a Recognition Banquet to formally introduce Xixi to our relatives and friends. It's also time to tell the Sheng Family about Xixi's return."

The Sheng Family?

Hearing her mother single out the Sheng Family, Luo Xixi felt there was a side plot.

"Understood."

After Luo Xichuan agreed, he took Luo Xixi out.

The two arrived at the garage.

"Xixi, wait here for a moment, I'll go bring the car over."

"Okay, Big Brother. (⊙v⊙)"

Luo Xixi obediently agreed, and while Luo Xichuan went to get the car, she called out to the system again.

【Tong'er, tell me about the situation with the Sheng Family.】

The Baby System came online and began to introduce the character relationships to Luo Xixi: 【Host, the daughter of the Luo Family and the eldest grandson of the Sheng Family, Sheng Yanqi, were betrothed at birth. But with the return of the true daughter, the engagement between the original female lead, Shiqing, and Sheng Yanqi has become ambiguous. As the Vicious Supporting Female Character, you must use all sorts of tricks to create misunderstandings and compete with the female lead for Sheng Yanqi.】

【Oh, so Sheng Yanqi is the male lead?】

【Not at all. The male lead of this book is Sheng Yanqi's uncle, Sheng Tinglan. After all, a man who is constantly played in circles by a Vicious Supporting Female Character is not worthy of being the male lead.】

【Then is Sheng Yanqi the tragic second male lead?】

【No, he is the third male lead.】

【Then who is the second male lead?】

【Yan Yu, who is also the crazy villain of this book. After the Luo Family was suppressed by the male lead, it was he who secretly dealt the fatal blow to the Luo Family. You being burned to death in the mental hospital was also something he ordered people to do.】

【Holy crap! What a vicious man!】

Just as Luo Xixi was marveling at how heaven-defying the second male lead was—

【Ding—Host, new plot downloaded.】
