“What do you think of me?”

Yu Si Nian suddenly stepped back, his dark eyes fixed on her.

Seeing that he wasn't buying it, Qiao Xi straightforwardly said, "Actually, I came here to ask you a question."

Yu Si Nian pursed his lips.

Though he hadn't lived a life of virtue, he hadn't committed heinous crimes either. How did he end up encountering such a woman?

"What do you think of Ye Sisi?" Qiao Xi asked.

Yu Si Nian: ?

"Is that why you came here?" His eyes darkened.

"Yes." Qiao Xi nodded. "Her appearance, personality, and so on. Can you give me your evaluation?"

Yu Si Nian's brows furrowed even more. Even this action was beautiful, like a magazine cover.

Xiao 6 said, "The villain might not yet understand the hidden feelings in his heart!"

Qiao Xi replied, "But according to the plot, he should already be starting a romantic arc with Ye Sisi by now. It's been a whole day, and there's no sign of anything happening."

"Don't worry. Love's sparks can't be ignited in just one day!"

Qiao Xi gritted her teeth. 

How much time did she have to wait for them to fall in love? No, in desperate times, desperate measures must be used!

"Then what do you think of me?" Qiao Xi asked Yu Si Nian.

Xiao 6: ?

Why the sudden shift to extremes?!

Yu Si Nian couldn't believe she had the nerve to ask such a question. He immediately sneered, "What do you think?"

"Between me and Ye Sisi, who do you like more?"

"Her!"

This time, Yu Si Nian answered almost instantaneously, afraid that even a second's delay would entangle him in trouble.

Yes!

Qiao Xi thought to herself, "See? This is called a control group. Starting tomorrow, I'll play the role of a wicked witch next to Ye Sisi. He won't be able to help but notice Ye Sisi's goodness."

Having made up her mind, Qiao Xi stood up to leave.

But when she reached the door, she circled back, sizing up Yu Si Nian with a glance that finally rested on his lower body.

Yu Si Nian: !

He grabbed the blanket and pulled it over himself.

But it was too late.

Qiao Xi's hands reached out. "Don't worry, let me check if there's any lasting damage!"

That impact from today was quite strong. 

If the villain is incapable, how could the heroine possibly be interested in him? Better check first!

"Qiao Xi! Where are you putting your hands?! Get away!"

"I'm just feeling your pulse. You're the one who extended your leg! Hey—what's this hard thing?"

At the door, the film crew hurried over with their cameras: !!!

Everyone looked at each other, not daring to step forward.

A few seconds later, the door opened.

Qiao Xi walked out energetically, like a patron who had just visited a brothel, with a mysterious smile on her face. She even adjusted her pants. In her mind, she told Xiao 6, "Not bad, everything's functional. Now we don't have to worry!"

The cameraman peeked into the room.

The bed was in complete disarray!

Yu Si Nian sat in the middle, his face red as a beet! His whole body was trembling!

Cameraman: "Should we...call the police?"

A few seconds later, Yu Si Nian buried himself under the blanket.

The comments exploded.

[OMG!!!!!!]

[Qiao Xi! Get back here! What did you do to Yu Si Nian!!!]

[Why is his face so red? Did you touch him?! Did you touch him?!]

[Calm down, calm down, how could that be? Our young master wouldn't let just anyone touch him]

[Do you think a sow is just casually delivered?]

[Suddenly deep in thought... seems plausible]

Yu Si Nian kicked everyone out.

When Cheng Xi came in to deliver water, he didn't dare look at the person on the bed.

Quickly in, quickly out.

"Wait." Yu Si Nian's hoarse voice came through, filled with despair. "Go find out Qiao Xi's birth date and time, then compare it with mine. Get a master to perform a ritual and drive away the evil."

He had come to a conclusion: Qiao Xi was bad luck for him.

"Oh, I'll tell my brother." Cheng Xi picked up the phone and started dialing in front of Yu Si Nian.

Cheng Xi: "Yeah, he was touched by a woman, and he's been out of sorts all afternoon... Yes, she said he was hard... Anything else? Not really... Oh right, she also hugged the young master, took him to watch a sow give birth, and sat on his lap saying his Adam's apple was sexy..."

Cheng Xi started to feel a chill down his spine.

Turning his head.

Yu Si Nian's pitch-black eyes were staring at him!

Cheng Xi: Danger!

He dodged a pillow attack and, using his professional bodyguard skills, caught the phone Yu Si Nian threw. He turned back with a grin, "Young master, were you testing me? How's my skill? Improved, right?"

Yu Si Nian: ...

He fell back onto the bed, his white shirt pulling apart slightly, his glassy eyes losing their will to live.

Might as well be dead.

"Young master, my brother wants to talk to you." Cheng Xi approached, turning on the speaker.

On the other end, Cheng Dong's explosive voice came through: "Young master! Trust me, a veteran of the dating world! This is no simple matter! Does she only hug you? Only touch you? Does she care about you? Even care about your opinion of her?"

Yu Si Nian's fingers twitched. He turned his head.

His messy hair lay across his forehead, his upturned eyes incredibly attractive.

He thought for a moment.

"Yes."

Cheng Dong said, "Got it, case closed! She's not bad luck for you!"

Yu Si Nian finally found the strength to reply, "Then what?"

"She likes you!"

Bang!

The phone fell to the floor.

The room fell silent.

After that phone call, Yu Si Nian was haunted by those words all the way to the next day: She likes you!

In the morning, Qiao Xi took everyone up the mountain to gather mushrooms.

They quickly filled a basket, and after cooking, she specially brought a bowl to him. Although it burned his mouth full of blisters, she then had Ye Sisi come over to wipe his mouth.

Yu Si Nian observed her the whole time.

By noon, only his and Ye Sisi's soup had meat, and even the carrots were cut into heart shapes. In the afternoon, Ye Sisi was resting under a tree. When Zhou Ninghuan, tired from work, tried to rest there too, Qiao Xi kicked him away. "Yu Si Nian, you come sit."

Yu Si Nian, silent, glanced at her several times, then finally sat down.

Deep in thought.

Could it be that she really liked him?

[Today's scene is so surreal? Did Qiao Xi have an epiphany?]

[She almost killed him yesterday, now she must be compensating him!]

[Maybe she really has fallen for Yu Si Nian! No, no, not my idol!]

[I think it's more likely she wants to matchmake Yu Si Nian and Ye Sisi? Look, she even gave them couple's chopsticks][Upstairs? Don't be ridiculous]

[Yeah! Who could resist Yu Si Nian's godly face and still try to push another woman to him?]

Yu Si Nian glanced at Ye Sisi and asked, "What do you think Qiao Xi would do if she liked someone?"

"Poof—cough cough cough!" Ye Sisi nearly choked!

In the bushes, someone got excited.

Qiao Xi, wearing her leaf hat, mentally called out to Xiao 6, "Look! Look! They're communicating! Isn't it working? Today, I acted rough and careless, while letting Ye Sisi show her gentleness! I even gave them couple's utensils, making it seem like fate brought them together! And now, I've created a chance for them to be alone. They're about to spark!"
