Chapter 57

"Starting tomorrow, you'll have to take me to school and pick me up after, and be responsible for making my breakfast. I only drink soy milk, got it?" Her tone was matter-of-fact, without the slightest hint of imposition. The events that had just transpired didn't seem to have left the slightest ripple on her heart.

Zhou Zhou looked at the fair, delicate fingers clasping his left hand. This was the closest he had ever been to her. The night breeze blew by and his head was just beginning to emerge from that feverish state.

He had been utterly and completely defeated tonight.

He should have been absolutely furious, but in the moment she embraced him...

Filled with the cool scent of oranges, her soft touch, the weak tone as if relying on her closest person...

And he... seemed to be that closest person to her.

"You must have fallen for Yan Xi," Kong Jie's words from yesterday suddenly rang out in his mind.

The skin touching her hand seemed to grow hot, and even his earlobes were turning red.

Damn!

Could he really have fallen for her?

Kong Jie's big mouth had turned out to be right!

If it were anyone else who dared humiliate him like this, he would have made them pay. But...

Zhou Zhou suddenly raised his eyes to look at the girl before him, dressed in a beautiful vermilion gown. From Zhou Zhou's angle, he could only see her elegant neck and shoulders.

Only now did he notice how slender she was.

"Ever since I was little, I've had countless people pursue me, threaten me, coerce me, tempt me..."

The girl's earlier words seemed to echo in his ears once more.

So she had been harassed by Tu Qingluan all this time? From her attitude toward Tu Qingluan tonight, it couldn't be said that she disliked him - she was utterly disgusted with him.

Thinking of this, the resentment over her and Tu Qingluan teaming up to make him lose tonight seemed to dissipate. There had always been space in his chest for that anger to vent.

It was just as well, since they were competitors after all.

Remembering Tu Qingluan's near loss of control tonight, Zhou Zhou also felt somewhat in a daze.

He and Tu Qingluan both seemed to have fallen for Yan Xi.

She detested Tu Qingluan, but she also didn't seem to like him one bit.

"Are you listening?" The girl before him suddenly spoke.

Unknowingly, amidst Zhou Zhou's chaotic thoughts, they had arrived at the school gate.

"Tonight, you thoroughly offended Tu Qingluan, and also..." Zhou Zhou didn't even know what he was saying.

"Are you trying to say I offended you too?" The girl before him suddenly interrupted his words. 𝖋𝔯𝔢𝔢𝖜𝖊𝖇𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖊𝔩.𝖈𝖔𝖒

Offend Zhou Zhou?

That didn't seem to be the case. After all, when she hugged him, she could feel his body go rigid...

The car arrived.

"Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"

Zhou Zhou suddenly remembered - tonight that idiot Tu Qingluan had begged but failed to obtain Yan Xi, and said things to her about Ji Yao and him.

"I do."

The beauty before him suddenly turned her head, her elegant brows and eyes full of seriousness.

Yan Xi thought for a moment, then suddenly spoke.

"Zhou Zhou, do you like me?"

Wha- what?

These words from the girl were like a thunderclap, exploding in Zhou Zhou's ears.

Zhou Zhou froze again. He was completely at a loss as to what she meant.

The beauty before him suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha....just kidding."

The girl didn't wait for Zhou Zhou to respond before getting in the car and leaving.

"Remember to come early tomorrow, don't be late. Got it, puppy?"

...

The scent of oranges gradually dissipated, and Zhou Zhou's heart grew chaotic once more.

"Zhou Zhou likes you now." Pandora stated matter-of-factly as she drove.

"Mm." The girl in the backseat seemed to have known this fact all along.

"I thought you would make a judgement on them both tonight. Their emotional fluctuations were quite intense." Pandora continued speaking to her.

After all, Yan Xi's actions tonight were simply maddening, especially for Tu Qingluan who had always pursued her.

From Tu Qingluan's expression, even a corpse could have been shocked back to life.

What men hate most is to be scorned and degraded.

If that contempt comes from the girl they've always pursued, and they're utterly humiliated by their crush in front of someone who could be considered their rival - it's a triple whammy!

A man's pride is not to be trifled with. Moreover, Yan Xi was dancing on Tu Qingluan's landmines!

"I feel like your actions tonight, while satisfying, didn't help much with raising their extremity values."

Pandora didn't understand what Yan Xi was trying to do. Tu Qingluan was a target she should be wooing, judging by his initial attitude. His goodwill towards Yan Xi had been extremely high from the start - he had rushed to her without needing her to approach him first.

"Not much use? It was very useful. My extremity values are almost maxed out~" Yan Xi smiled lightly. Tonight was the most fun she'd had in a long time.

Observing their emotional fluctuations - wasn't that interesting?

And how can liking be equated to love?

She could develop feelings of liking towards anyone.

As for the extremity love values that Pandora kept wanting her to raise?

It would take more than a year to raise those.

"Tu Qingluan's expression tonight was quite ugly. I feel he may make trouble for you, so be careful." Pandora kindly reminded her.

After all, she absolutely could not let her hard work go to waste! If Yan Xi would just get on with the system loading, there wouldn't be so much trouble!

"Is that so?"

Wasn't it interesting?

Just what lengths could Tu Qingluan go to?

The girl had a radiant smile, as if looking forward to the coming day.
