After hoodwinking Yu She, the two were exceptionally quiet on the drive back. Fang Yuqing, who usually loved to talk, kept her mouth shut obediently this time.
Neither of them mentioned the matter of going to the hospital; they both knew it was just an excuse to leave. For a moment, the atmosphere was somewhat deadlocked and quiet so still that one feared the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.
The lights inside the car were bright. Fang Yuqing’s eyes were fixed deathly on the road ahead, determined not to spare Chi Xia a single glance. This was because as long as she saw her, Fang Yuqing’s mind would automatically replay the previous scenes. But in reality, even without looking at her, it was difficult for Fang Yuqing to forget that incident.
In her heart, she was wailing and crying, kneeling and pounding the ground. Heavens, heavens, my brain must be broken! Why did I say such socially suicidal words! Haven’t I lost enough face in front of Chi Xia? Fang Yuqing, oh Fang Yuqing, have some sense. You aren’t a cat with nine lives to squander; you are just a weak and pitiful human being.
Fang Yuqing had a look of agony on her face. Her originally relaxed brows gradually furrowed as the replay in her mind continued. Finally, she could not bear it anymore.
She wanted to atone for her sins to Chi Xia. She shouldn’t have destroyed Chi Xia’s “peach blossom” romantic luck just because she disliked Yu She. She had been too arbitrary; Chi Xia must be angry since she hadn’t spoken to her for so long.
She was repenting, her small head drooping first, her entire being radiating two words dejected.
“Sor—”
Fang Yuqing’s words were interrupted by a burst of laughter. She snapped her head up and saw Chi Xia leaning sideways against the car window, looking at Fang Yuqing and laughing.
Her eyes were as gentle as water, flowing with fragmented starlight. It was the kind of spirit that only appeared with genuine pleasure. The woman’s beautiful features were so soul-stirring; she looked like a flower immortal who had cultivated a human form, possessing a refreshing fragrance and peerless beauty.
The anxiety in Fang Yuqing’s heart was miraculously soothed. No matter how many people confessed to Chi Xia, at this moment, her posture was visible only to herself. This was her exclusive view.
Chi Xia had never laughed like this such an open and hearty laugh. Even in the memories of System No. 009, it had never been seen.
This change allowed No. 009 to once again verify Fang Yuqing’s importance. Fang Yuqing was no longer just a character similar to an NPC in a game existing within a world plane; she had been infused with emotions coming from Chi Xia. This caused No. 009 to stop viewing her as an NPC. She was a real, living human being who could trigger Chi Xia’s joys, angers, sorrows, and happiness.
“What are you laughing at? You’re so annoying.” Fang Yuqing scratched her cheek, her face starting to heat up for no reason.
The car had already come to a stop. Chi Xia lowered the car window. The breeze slowly blew through her hair, and the moonlight reflected on the ground, making Chi Xia seem less cold.
With a smile on the corners of her lips, Chi Xia said lazily, “You’ve had a scrunched-up face since you got into the car. I felt it was quite fun to watch.”
“It’s just that simple?” Fang Yuqing’s eyes widened.
At this moment, Chi Xia suddenly leaned in. Her gaze was deep and carried a sense of pressure, her exquisite face moving very, very close.
The “thump-thump” sound of a heartbeat made Fang Yuqing unable to distinguish whether it was her own heart accelerating or Chi Xia’s.
Then she heard her low voice say, “Otherwise, what did you think I was laughing at? Isn’t it all because of you?”
Fang Yuqing said bashfully, “You aren’t angry with me?”
“Angry? Are you talking about the matter of me having a ‘white moonlight’ unforgettable first love, or the matter of me having had many girlfriends?”
Hearing this, Fang Yuqing felt uncomfortable in her heart. Her voice rose as she said, “You don’t have that many girlfriends, and of course, you won’t have a white moonlight. That was all me lying to Yu She. His eyes were dishonest and looked lecherous. His confession was better left unsaid; he was just making trouble for others!”
Looking at her stubborn eyes and unconvinced tone, Chi Xia could not help but let out a light laugh. Chi Xia used her finger to brush aside her bangs, her gaze moving from Fang Yuqing’s brow to her lips. Some people do not need many actions; just a single look can bring a sense of abstinent and cold beauty. Chi Xia murmured, “Setting aside for a moment whether I like women or not, how can you be so certain I have no exes? Fang Yuqing, do you think I lack people pursuing me?”
Fang Yuqing covered her own mouth. No way, right? I just said it casually. Did the blind cat really run into a dead mouse?
“You… you’ve dated many people?”
Chi Xia gave a playful smile. “Curious?”
Fang Yuqing pursed her lips, pushed Chi Xia away, turned around, and said gloomily, “So it turns out I’m the only one who has never been in a relationship.”
Just after turning around, she couldn’t help but peek at Chi Xia again.
Chi Xia’s expression was relaxed, and the smile on her lips was casual. She was a calm and proud person; it was hard to imagine how such a Chi Xia would love a person.
Would she be passionate, or would she be as lazy and casual as she was at this moment?
Fang Yuqing and Chi Xia had lost contact for many years in between. She could have become someone else’s lover, holding hands, hugging, and even kissing that person. Or perhaps Chi Xia was tender, affectionate, single-minded, and loyal in front of that person.
Fang Yuqing blinked her eyes and squeezed out a bitter smile. She didn’t know why she would associate so many things with just one sentence from Chi Xia. She only knew that she had missed much, much of Chi Xia’s past.
“What’s wrong? Your smile looks so terrible.” Chi Xia held Fang Yuqing’s cheeks, forcing her to look at her.
Fang Yuqing shook her head obediently. “It’s nothing. I just suddenly want to be in a relationship too. You’re right; you must have many pursuers. If one day you get into a relationship, I’ll be the only ‘child’ left at home who is single. When that time comes, Mom will definitely nag me. I didn’t lose to you when we were in school, and this time… I won’t lose to you either.”
As she spoke, the words changed flavor, becoming words of pique, sounding more like acting like a spoiled child.
The smile in Chi Xia’s eyes deepened. She withdrew her hands and crossed them over her chest, saying slowly, “This time, you don’t need to compete with me.”
“Why?”
Chi Xia glanced over. “I have no thoughts of being in a relationship. I didn’t before, and I don’t now.”
Fang Yuqing’s brow furrowed tightly as if she had heard a joke. She let out a cold snort: “You didn’t before? Who are you kidding! No thoughts of being in a relationship, didn’t before…”
Suddenly, her spirit was revived. She finally realized what Chi Xia meant.
Fang Yuqing grabbed Chi Xia’s arm and laughed, “You really were lying to me. You are just like me you’ve never been in a relationship!”
Chi Xia raised her eyebrows without speaking and restarted the car. Listening to Fang Yuqing’s chattering, she suddenly felt that this version of her was better. Being quiet or whatever simply wasn’t her personality.
Being lively is actually quite good.
She smiled, her eyes holding a faint, soft light.
But in the next second, Chi Xia withdrew her smile.
Because she heard the words of No. 009, which provided a sobering blow to the head.
Xiaxia, have you forgotten something? Fang Yuqing is the female lead. She is the female lead of the “Sweet Story” world, a completely different world from yours. You are a task-taker from the Villain Department of the “Angst Story” sector, and her appearance is merely an accident.
Please do not forget your mission. Otherwise, the space-time transport machine cannot be started.
In an instant, it was as if the peace in Chi Xia’s heart was stirred, causing ripples that gradually turned into a disaster.
Xiaxia, only when you have caused harm to the female lead will the system determine whether you have met the mission requirements during the working period after the task ends. Only in this way can we leave the world.
No. 009 was the system bound to Chi Xia, a partner of many years, so its reminder was well-intentioned. It did not have human emotions. The most important person to it was Chi Xia; everything was centered around her and would never harm Chi Xia’s interests. This time was no different.
Chi Xia smiled and said, “You are overthinking. She and I are just friends.”
“…Nothing more.”
As if to solidify her own words, Chi Xia said to Fang Yuqing, “You misunderstood Yu She today. The person he wanted to confess to was you. Didn’t you notice that his eyes wished they could be glued to your body?”
During the drive, Chi Xia suddenly mentioned Yu She. Fang Yuqing was still a bit stunned because she had long since put that man in the back of her mind. In her view, the problem of Yu She had already been solved by her; as long as he had a bit of self-awareness, he wouldn’t come back to bother Chi Xia.
But now Chi Xia said Yu She’s target had always been herself. Fang Yuqing gasped in shock, but very quickly, her eyes curved into smiles as she started laughing sillily.
“Hehehehe.”
Chi Xia shook her head helplessly. Looking at her silly face did she even hear her words?
After Chi Xia repeated it once more, she asked, “What are your thoughts on this?”
“Hehehehe.”
Her laughter completely infected Chi Xia. Originally, with the gloom in her heart, she wouldn’t have been able to laugh. But who could help it when Fang Yuqing looked so amusing?
Chi Xia began to laugh lightly. Compared to Fang Yuqing’s grinning face, her laugh was very reserved. “What are you laughing at?”
“I’m happy about your concern for me.” Fang Yuqing tilted her head and blinked her eyes. No one could resist the smile attack of a “sweet girl.”
Chi Xia’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. She didn’t know if it was because of her words, her smile, or perhaps both, but in any case, it was flustered. Thinking carefully, from the moment Chi Xia learned the truth about Fang Yuqing hiding the matter of swapping rooms, Chi Xia had already lost her footing. Who could help the fact that Fang Yuqing was a variable that Chi Xia could never control?
Chi Xia was the variable of this “Sweet Story” world, but in fact, Fang Yuqing was also her variable. You could never predict what her next step would be.
She smiled calmly. If it weren’t for the change in her fingers gripping the steering wheel, one probably couldn’t see Chi Xia’s abnormality.
“What do you mean I’m concerned about you? Don’t forget that I have always only targeted you.”
Fang Yuqing said in a feigned sophisticated manner, “It’s normal to be rebellious during adolescence. Besides, I don’t think that was targeting. If you really hated me, why would you stay with me every day? I like being friends with you; whether in the past or now, I like it very much.”
“And you are concerned about me, haven’t you noticed? Every time you are stubborn with your words, you always end up going along with me in the end. Regarding the matter with Yu She, didn’t you also help me turn him down? This is your concern for me. Don’t deny it. Could it be that you like bullying me? Do you want to get the pleasure of bullying me from my body?”
Fang Yuqing touched her chin awkwardly, acting as if she were hesitating, and added, “If you want that kind of pleasure, I can bring out my most exquisite acting skills to satisfy you.”
If you can manage to bully me with a blushing face, it’s not impossible.
Chi Xia slowly turned her head, looking at Fang Yuqing with an indescribable gaze. Finally, she let out a long sigh and said, “Fang Yuqing, you are a real pervert.”
I admit I am a villain character, but I don’t deserve this!
