Chapter 650: Chapter 279: Cunning Tongue_3
He was way too handsome.
Not being obsessed with looks doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate beauty.
"Uh..."
She averted her eyes to think calmly and then responded uncertainly, "Logically, it should be an accident, but you’re different. You’re like a monster who plans ten steps ahead, I can’t believe you’re that simple."
Well, well!
Su Huai couldn’t help but cry and laugh.
Did acting too clever have its downsides?
Should I start hiding my talents now?
His self-reflective thought was fleeting as he resignedly laid out his line of reasoning.
"Actually, the reason is really simple. My roommate Xia Yu is an avid fan of yours and he always praised you to me, but at that time Chen Nuanhan and I had some unresolved emotional issues, so I wasn’t in the mood to join him in his livestreaming play.
One day, I felt his state wasn’t good, you know, he’s a bit too fawning and extremely obsessed.
So I joked with him, teasing: ’bet you, I can make your school senior call me "Dad" within ten days?’
Of course, he didn’t believe it, so I planned to prove it to him, making him see that all female livestreamers are the same, and to clear his illusions early on.
You can verify this with Xia Yu now; our bet happened a long time ago.
Then, I created a Gou Star account pretending to be a middle-aged man, planning to spend some money to reveal your true colors.
However, I found you were different from the other female livestreamers I knew; you were a good girl. So, as I kept watching, I changed my mind and decided to support you instead.
That’s the simple truth. Our meeting was inevitable, but it developing to this point was definitely not planned."
"Really?"
Although Pei Shuyu asked this, she actually believed most of it.
Because the logic was too clear, the kind that’s hard to make up.
"You can ask him now."
Su Huai leaned back, crossed his arms, and gestured for her to make the call.
"I’ll ask then!"
Pei Shuyu, not backing down at all, really took out her phone and dialed Xia Yu.
While waiting, she intensely watched Su Huai’s face, trying to catch any hint of guilt.
Of course... there wasn’t any.
Xia Yu seemed to have been asleep but answered very quickly.
"Hello? School senior? What’s up? Is something wrong?"
His voice was full of anxious questions.
Su Huai thought this kid was really hopeless.
Yet considering how Pei Shuyu treated him, it was somewhat worth it.
"Yu, I’m fine, don’t worry. I just suddenly wanted to ask you something."
Yu, using a gentle big-sister tone, went straight to the point: "Did you ever make a bet with Su Huai about me?"
"Ah?!"
Xia Yu was confused for a moment and sleepily retorted: "A bet? With Huai?"
Su Huai, not in a hurry, hinted with his lips: at the start of school, calling ’Dad’.
Pei Shuyu continued: "At the beginning of school, did you often mention me to him?"
"Oh!!!"
Xia Yu finally remembered, said with realization: "There was such a thing, but it was just a joke. Huai didn’t really do anything. School senior, why are you suddenly asking this?"
Pei Shuyu rolled her eyes dramatically.
He hasn’t done anything?
I’ve already called him ’Dad’ hundreds of times!
"It’s nothing serious. I’m not going to blame him; I’m just curious about what really happened."
Xia Yu was easily fooled. Whatever the school senior said, he believed, reassuringly replied: "There really isn’t much; Huai just didn’t believe a livestreamer could be a good girl, so he bet me that within 10 days you’d call him ’Dad’, but then he got busy and forgot... Wait?! Isn’t Huai now a top executive at Xingyu? Why am I suddenly confused?"
This silly kid!
Su Huai had kept his job at Xingyu a secret from his classmates, but given Xia Yu’s daily communication, he should have guessed that Su Huai was Mr. Su by now, yet he only just realized.
Truly, he’d put 99% of his focus on his school senior. Where else could you find such a dedicated Warm Man?
Pei Shuyu also liked Xia Yu’s simplicity and focus, her voice growing even gentler.
"He’s climbed to the position of executive assistant, and I even suspect he’s Turbid Dog Number Three, so I wanted to ask you..."
"Holy shit!"
Xia Yu was completely flabbergasted, and from the other end Su Huai heard what seemed like a thud, as if Xia Yu had bumped into something.
"I... he... Mother, I’m so dizzy, I can’t wrap my head around this..."
Pei Shuyu quickly warned: "It’s just a possibility. Don’t tell anyone; your school senior hasn’t told anyone else yet. Keep it secret, okay?"
"Ah... Um!"
Xia Yu was still unable to accept it, but he was world-class when it came to listening to his school senior, and immediately swore.
"Don’t worry, school senior, I won’t tell anyone. It stops with me!"
"That’s good. You go back to sleep, I’ve still got things to do."
"Alright, school senior, you should sleep early too. It’s been a tiring day; take care of your health, that’s the most important..."
Seriously, so naggy!
Despite being touched by Xia Yu’s sincerity, Pei Shuyu couldn’t stand it and quickly hung up the phone.
Poor Yu Yangyang, he definitely couldn’t sleep tonight...
The saddest part was, no one had the time to feel sorry for him...
Su Huai looked contentedly at the baffled Dai Ni school senior and leisurely asked, "So, am I clear about how we started?"
Yes.
Although she didn’t admit it outright, the favorability rating on her face jumping to 60 points was undeniable.
As long as his initial approach wasn’t out of calculation, then the thorn in her heart would no longer have a basis.
Pei Shuyu, lazily slouching on the sofa, her confrontational stance mostly dissipated, turned curious.
"Now I’m even more curious, why... did you spend so much money on me?"
If perfectly answering one question represents 10 points of favorability, then this was the third last question.
Only three more rounds of "truth sessions" left before total conquest.
**************
Uh, I haven’t finished writing the process.
I wonder why others don’t have these issues? Well, never mind, behaving like a chick, steady as Jiu Si.
