95. Chapter 95: Something Happened

"Big Brother?"

Seeing Luo Xichuan lost in thought, Luo Xixi waved a hand in front of his eyes and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

【Could it be that my answer just now was too perfunctory, making Big Brother think I'm very dissatisfied with the female lead, so he has nothing to say to me now?】

Luo Xichuan snapped back to reality. After taking a deep breath, he solemnly promised Luo Xixi, "Xixi, there are actually still many suspicious points, and I can't make an accurate judgment immediately, but rest assured, Big Brother will definitely find out the final truth and get justice for you!"

"Hmm?" Hearing Luo Xichuan say these words, Luo Xixi felt quite happy inside.

Although Big Brother was easily misled by the female lead, he was still trying to maintain his true self. For Luo Xixi, this was enough, because she knew that for someone who had just awakened Self-Awareness, it was not easy to completely resist the female lead's influence.

But it didn't matter.

Now that she had decided to do the tasks well, she would help Big Brother complete the things he couldn't.

So Luo Xixi smiled at Luo Xichuan, nodded, and said, "Mm, thank you, Big Brother. But you don't have to push yourself too hard, okay? Whatever happens, we'll face it together!"

Looking at his younger sister's bright and firm smile, Luo Xichuan felt a softness in his heart. His brows relaxed, and he smiled back, replying, "Okay."

The next day.

Luo Xichuan went to the company to work as usual.

During his spare time at work, he picked up the materials the assistant had organized regarding Sheng Tinglan and Luo Shiqing again, and began to ponder secretly.

Xixi was right.

The relationship between Shiqing and Sheng Tinglan was not as Shiqing said—that Sheng Tinglan was forcing her and she was unwilling. Because by comparing the photos of Luo Shiqing meeting and leaving Sheng Tinglan, after meeting him, she did not show an expression of enduring humiliation; on the contrary, she even looked somewhat triumphant.

So, did Shiqing really lie to him?

Was she actually in league with Sheng Tinglan, wanting to ruin Xixi's reputation? Just because of some so-called task?

Luo Xichuan put down the materials and covered his face with both hands, taking a long breath. In his mind, he tried hard to recall the various beautiful memories he had with Luo Shiqing in the past. However, when he really thought about it, Luo Xichuan discovered that those memories were blurry, as if only a concept had been implanted in his mind, telling him that Shiqing was wonderful, that she was a kind and gentle good girl, and that she was the younger sister he needed to protect.

This suddenly made Luo Xichuan feel a sense of alarm.

He discovered that he had subconsciously tried to recall things that happened in the past, but he didn't have any particularly deep impressions. Yet, without those memories, how did he come to the conclusion that Luo Shiqing was gentle and kind?

Was this what they called a character role?

Because his setting was that of a brother who is good to the female lead, his persona would think the female lead is gentle and kind, so he had such thoughts? But because the story didn't start from the female lead's childhood, there were no specific past plot points at all.

Luo Xichuan's heart immediately began to beat wildly.

He pressed his forehead, his pupils constricting slightly, and he broke out in a cold sweat, frightened by this sudden thought.

Was he really just a character in a story?

Just a character created by a setting?

That was why Xixi said he had awakened Self-Awareness now; because he had Self-Awareness, he could discover so many loopholes and spontaneously think for himself.

Then.

If he was a designed person, what was his ending? What was Shiqing's task? Why was she targeting Xixi so much? Xixi knew all of this, so what was her purpose?

One question after another, more and more thoughts popped up in Luo Xichuan's mind, leaving him overwhelmed.

And just at this moment.

A knock on the door sounded.

"President Luo, Miss Shiqing is here."

The secretary's voice came from outside the office.

Hearing this, Luo Xichuan snapped back to reality abruptly.

Shiqing was here?

What was she here for?

Luo Xichuan suppressed the doubts in his heart and then had the secretary bring Luo Shiqing in.

"Big Brother, did I disturb you?"

Luo Shiqing walked in from outside the room gracefully, a gentle and affectionate smile still on her face, looking so beautiful.

"..."

Luo Xichuan had been thinking too much just now, and now that he saw Luo Shiqing again, he could no longer look at her with his past perspective. With wariness in his heart, he squeezed out a smile at Luo Shiqing and asked, "Shiqing, why did you come over at this hour? Is something the matter?"

Luo Shiqing blinked and asked in return, "Big Brother, can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?"

"Of course not."

"That's good."

Luo Shiqing patted her chest, looking as if she had let out a sigh of relief, and said to Luo Xichuan with a smile, "I thought Big Brother was still doubting me, so you were rejecting and distancing yourself from me. I'm glad that's not the case."

As she spoke.

She walked closer to Luo Xichuan and acted coquettishly with a smile, "Big Brother, the two of us siblings haven't hung out alone in a long time. Will you accompany me for a meal outside tonight?"

If it were in the past, Luo Xichuan might have agreed.

But now, looking at Luo Shiqing's behavior, he always felt she had ulterior motives. Why would she specifically run to the company to ask him out for a meal? They hadn't specifically gone out to eat alone before, had they?

He just felt something was wrong.

So Luo Xichuan didn't agree. He tactfully said to Luo Shiqing, "Sorry, Shiqing, I have a lot of work today, so I might not be able to accompany you out for a meal. How about we reschedule for another day?"

Seeing Luo Xichuan reject her, Luo Shiqing's eyes darkened. She didn't want to wait any longer, otherwise, she didn't know what other issues might arise.

She kept the smile on her face and acted coquettishly to Luo Xichuan, "Big Brother, what work is so important? Can't it be pushed back? I've already reserved a restaurant, and that restaurant is very hard to book. Can't you put your work aside for me?"

Luo Xichuan continued to refuse, "Sorry, Shiqing, it really won't work today..."

"..."

Luo Shiqing didn't expect that even after she requested it like this, Luo Xichuan would remain unmoved. The Heartthrob System said this guy had awakened Self-Awareness; sure enough, he was becoming harder and harder to control.

Damn it!

If she kept dragging this out, Luo Xichuan would definitely ruin her plans!

【System, I'm not waiting anymore, execute Plan B directly!】

Heartthrob System online, 【Received!】

"Shiqing?"

Luo Xichuan was a bit puzzled to see Shiqing stop talking, but when he met her eyes, he was chilled to the core by the malice and hostility filling them.

Immediately after...

By evening.

After Luo Xixi finished dinner with her family, Mother Luo suddenly said, "It's so late, why haven't the eldest and Shiqing returned yet?"

Thump!!

Hearing Bai Fengxia's words, for some reason, an intense sense of unease suddenly surged in Luo Xixi's heart, as if something bad had happened.

Her heart began to beat violently without warning; Luo Xixi tried hard to clench her hands to calm herself down, then wanted to have the Baby System investigate Luo Xichuan's whereabouts.

【Tong'er...】

Who would have expected.

Before Luo Xixi could finish her question, the Baby System's extremely grave and serious voice rang out, 【Host, it's bad! Something has happened to Luo Xichuan!】
