Chapter 127: Another Encounter With A Pick-Up Attempt

When Ye Xiao and Qin Yunxi stepped into the elevator, they coincidentally ran into Ye Chen again. This time, he was accompanied by a girl who instantly caught Ye Xiao’s attention—Xiao Lingyu.

“Ding. Detected female protagonist, Xiao Lingyu. Bound to the Chosen One, Ye Chen. Current luck value: 100%. Xiao Lingyu’s favorability toward Ye Chen: 80.”

Well, well. A Chosen One and a female protagonist? Seems like the system is shoving a mission right into her lap.

At first, Ye Xiao didn’t want to get involved. But the thought of this sweet girl being sweet-talked into bed and then discarded by Ye Chen made her feel like she couldn’t just stand by.

“Hey, miss, can I add you on WeChat?” Ye Xiao opened her QR code scanner and flashed it at Xiao Lingyu.

Xiao Lingyu blinked in surprise, then looked down and saw Ye Xiao.

“Such an adorable little sister! Of course you can!” Xiao Lingyu smiled, pulling out her phone to show her own QR code.

With a “ding,” Ye Xiao successfully added Xiao Lingyu on WeChat.

Xiao Lingyu didn’t seem to realize that Ye Xiao and Qin Yunxi were the same two “fox spirits” who had rejected her Brother Ye Chen that morning.

As for Ye Chen, he felt utterly humiliated in front of Ye Xiao. Just two hours ago, this girl had refused him with the excuse of not having her phone—only to now brazenly add his childhood friend’s WeChat right in front of him.

Did she think he didn’t exist?

Ye Chen had already figured it out—this girl who looked like a little loli was probably a lesbian.

The thought excited him. If he could convert a lesbian, that would be a two-for-one deal—an absolute win.

His mind began to wander, and a sleazy grin crept onto his face.

Ye Xiao noticed his gaze and immediately felt disgusted.

When Xiao Lingyu looked up, she caught Ye Chen’s perverted expression.

“Xiao Lingyu’s favorability toward Ye Chen has decreased by 20. Host, keep up the good work!”

Ye Xiao was baffled. What just happened? She hadn’t even done anything!

—

At noon, Ye Xiao treated Qin Yunxi to a meal at a Sha County (A popular Chinese fast-food chain). Yunxi enjoyed it immensely, marveling at how many delicious things existed in this world.

“Xixi, I have something to do this afternoon, so I won’t be able to stay home with you,” Ye Xiao said after they returned home, preparing to leave.

Judging by the world’s timeline, the next event was about to begin.

“Mm-hmm!” Qin Yunxi nodded vigorously, not dwelling on it too much. After spending time together, she had learned that Ye Xiao was actually the boss of a company. Running a business must be busy work, so it was understandable that Ye Xiao had little free time. Qin Yunxi easily convinced herself.

“Oh, right, Xixi—can you call me around 3:30 later? Just play along with whatever I say. And, uh, maybe use a voice changer or something.”

A lightbulb went off in Ye Xiao’s head. She needed to set things up in advance. Watching a movie with some random big sister definitely wouldn’t end with just the movie.

Since she couldn’t stay out too late with any of them today, she’d need an excuse to leave.

And if Qin Yunxi happened to call at just the right moment…

Well, that would be the perfect cover.

“Xiao Xiao?” Qin Yunxi tilted her head, confused about Ye Xiao’s intentions.

“Just call me then, okay?”

For a brief moment, as she looked into Qin Yunxi’s sparkling, innocent eyes, Ye Xiao felt a pang of guilt.

But only for a moment.

“Okay, Xiao Xiao.”

In the end, Qin Yunxi nodded firmly.

Ye Xiao had already spent the morning with her on a date, but she had work to do.

If all Ye Xiao needed was a well-timed phone call, then Qin Yunxi would do it without hesitation.

Helping Ye Xiao was her duty.

After a few more reminders, Ye Xiao dashed off.

She had to get to the next cinema.

Hailing a taxi, she hit midday traffic—students leaving school and families heading out for lunch had clogged the roads.

Anxious, Ye Xiao urged the driver to hurry several times.

Rushing against the clock, she finally arrived at Wanda International Cinema just before 1 PM.

Shen Yunchu had arrived early and had already been waiting for over ten minutes.

For this date, she had spent two hours applying delicate makeup—not too flashy, not too plain.

The kind of natural, understated enhancement that required meticulous effort.

When Ye Xiao saw her, Shen Yunchu had her hair tied in a high ponytail, clean and simple like a clear spring.

But her fitted black bodycon dress accentuated her figure flawlessly.

At a glance, she was stunning.

Ye Xiao hadn’t noticed before—Yunchu’s body was this good?

Over 90% of the guys passing by the theater couldn’t help but look back.

If most of them hadn’t already been there with their girlfriends, many would’ve mustered the courage to approach her.

“What kind of bastard would leave such a beautiful girl waiting?”

“Keep staring and I’ll gouge your eyes out! Can’t take your eyes off another girl, huh?” A girl nearby scolded her boyfriend.

“Hey, miss, I noticed you’ve been standing here for a while. Could I add you on WeChat? I know it’s sudden, but if I don’t gather the courage today, I might regret it for the rest of my life.”

While waiting for Ye Xiao, Shen Yunchu was approached by a tall, handsome guy who smoothly asked for her contact info.

Though he acted shy, his words were perfectly crafted.

Any girl would struggle to feel annoyed by such a smooth approach.

This guy was definitely a veteran.

“Sorry, I’m waiting for someone. It’s not convenient,” Shen Yunchu politely declined.

Normally, a guy would slink away after being rejected.

But not this one.

He doubled down with even more sincerity:

“Miss, I’m really sorry if I’ve bothered you. I’m not a bad person—I just really wanted to get to know you. Think of it as granting me a small wish. If you find me annoying later, you can always delete me!”

Shen Yunchu hesitated.

His words were too polished—earnest, sincere, and giving her all the power with that “you can delete me” line.

It was a masterstroke, instantly lowering her guard.

Such refined pickup skills?

Ye Xiao wouldn’t believe this guy had approached fewer than a hundred girls.

A certified playboy.

The more experienced the player, the more they pretended to be shy, speaking with faux-innocence and a “deeply infatuated” act.

Every word was calculated.

A real newbie wouldn’t be this articulate or logical.

Wait a minute—wasn’t this the same sleazebag from this morning?

Ugh, Ye Chen again?

What rotten luck.
