Don't mess with that Miao boy, he's sickly and perverted.

Jiang Zhiyu was just feeling flattered and about to respond when Wu Li turned to look at Song Yueyao beside him.

"Then, should I call this person—"

He smiled brightly: "Sister."

Wu Li has two small tiger teeth, which are not obvious when he sneers, and are so subtle that they are almost invisible. However, when he grins, as he does now, they are fully revealed with a bright smile, like the childish teeth of some young animal that he accidentally shows, with a touch of innocent cunning.

The youthful spirit that is unique to young people is palpable.

Her smile was pure and innocent, her face as clean as snow, yet her lips were a deep red, possessing an untainted beauty that carried an inexplicable, almost dangerous allure.

This move is the decisive one.

The original work already clearly states that Wu Li is most skilled at manipulating people's hearts, and in order to achieve his goals, he can use everything of value around him—including his own unique physical appearance.

Chai Xiaomi pondered silently.

As expected... he really did have feelings for the female lead.

He's never been polite to women in normal times. His words are always harsh and hurtful, as awful as can be. This is the first time I've seen him put on such a friendly face with a woman; it's obvious he has ulterior motives.

Song Yueyao was clearly taken aback for a moment, then returned a faint smile.

Even if someone already has someone they love, anyone would be momentarily stunned when faced with such vibrant and dazzling beauty.

The book describes Song Yueyao's heart flutter at that moment as follows: It was not romantic love, but more like seeing fireworks suddenly bloom in the night sky, or butterflies resting among summer flowers, or rainbows that occasionally appear in the mist of a waterfall.

I couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful!"

It exists only for that one moment, a sudden and unexpected amazement at "beauty" itself.

Brief, pure, and leaving no trace.

Chai Xiaomi was immersed in this wave of good looks, but for some reason, although she was recalling the descriptions in the original work, the most embarrassing and wretched images of this boy flashed before her eyes like a revolving lantern.

Those were things the book didn't mention: the cold debris after the fireworks died down, the broken-winged butterflies falling into the dust, the bare, gray sky after the rainbow faded...

Therefore, she had to rewrite this time, no matter what.

Not only for myself, but also for him.

Chai Xiaomi was only distracted for a moment before she snapped back to reality, let go of the female lead, and said, "If you have any electricity, send it to me!"

She pulled Wu Li in front of her, cupped his face in her hands, stared intently at his two small tiger teeth, and almost gritted her teeth as she commanded:

"I want to hear it too!"

He has the air of a domineering CEO.

"...What are you listening to?" The peacock with its tail feathers spread out suddenly looked surprised.

When facing Chai Xiaomi, he reverted to looking at her like she was an idiot.

This sudden change in attitude infuriated Chai Xiaomi even more.

Why did she always feel that Wu Li looked down on her, especially when it came to intelligence?

She once had a silly cat that wasn't smart at all and had a lot of baffling behavior.

For example, it might be so startled by its own fart that its fur stands on end; it might sleep flat like a pancake, flowing through an incredibly narrow gap, only to wake up pretending to be solid and getting stuck between railings, meowing for help; or it might randomly unleash a series of cat punches at the air, finishing with a haughty "I have quelled the rebellion" expression.

She could only laugh at it while helplessly rewarding it with cat treats, calling it a stupid cat every day, but that didn't stop her from crying like a dog on the day it went to Cat Planet.

Now, Wu Li looks at her with the same expression she uses when looking at her own silly cat that has gone to Cat Planet.

I feel like I've been insulted.

"Call me 'older sister'," she ground her back teeth, "I'm a year older than you too."

"Want to hear?" He leaned in slightly, the distance between them suddenly closing, his breath brushing lightly against her ear.

"Mmm-hmm!" Chai Xiaomi's eyes lit up.

Wu Li's lips had already silently formed a certain intimate curve, but what came out was: "If you want to hear it, in the next life."

Instead of calling out, he deliberately moved even closer and whispered two words: "Idiot."

The voice was so low that only the two of them could hear it.

The low, breathy voice carried a hint of husky languor, yet to outsiders, the scene appeared intimately close, almost like lovers whispering sweet nothings.

Jiang Zhiyu and Song Yueyao turned their faces away simultaneously, one looking up at the sky and the other at the ground.

Chai Xiaomi really wanted to hurl insults, but she forced them back. Her eyes darted around, and suddenly she smiled, deliberately raising her voice in a sickeningly sweet tone:

"Oh my gosh~ I know, I love you too~"

After saying that, she gently nudged Wu Li away with her elbow, covering her face with a mixture of reproach and shyness: "But, kissing is not allowed! We have to wait until we get home and close the door. I know you can't control yourself, but it's not good to do it in public~"

As she spoke, she winked at Wu Li, her face clearly saying, "Let's see who can act better."

Wu Li: "..."

Clearly, the villain is adept at manipulating people's hearts, but unfortunately, his acting skills are still lacking.

The moment he heard her shamelessly utter the word "kiss," he instantly gave in.

His words were so bold and unrestrained that even people at the next table turned to look at him curiously.

Jiang Zhiyu and Song Yueyao were so frightened that they hurriedly lowered their heads, wishing they could hide their faces in the teacups, for fear that their disguise would be exposed.

Knowing she had caused trouble, Chai Xiaomi's arrogance immediately diminished, and she mumbled an apology in a low voice, barely managing to steer the conversation back to the matter of her earlier departure.

"I left in a hurry this time and didn't bring anything special with me, just some travel money. Please don't find it vulgar." Song Yueyao fumbled in her sleeve for a moment and took out a gleaming gold ingot. Her gaze swept lightly over Chai Xiaomi's lower abdomen. "Now that I've recognized you two as my brother and sister-in-law, it's a pity that the world is far apart and we may not meet again in the future. Consider this my gift to my future nephew and niece."

Wow! What a huge ingot of gold!

Chai Xiaomi excitedly held it in her palm, her eyes sparkling: "Not tacky at all!"

As a child, she didn't understand the fragrance of gold, but now Chai Xiaomi's "golden bloodline" has long since awakened. In any world, the importance of gold is self-evident, especially since she is currently short of money.

She even wondered if this was some kind of hidden plot that had been triggered, causing the female lead to voluntarily provide start-up funds.

Unfortunately, that unreliable "fried dough stick" has been overloaded since she developed a high fever and is still under maintenance, so it can't be relied on in the short term.

Seeing Song Yueyao like this, Jiang Zhiyu, who was standing to the side, suddenly felt uneasy. He had left in a hurry and hadn't brought anything decent with him.

Seeing that Song Yueyao was in such a predicament in Liangya Prefecture, yet she could still treat someone she had just met with such sincerity, Jiang Zhiyu felt a surge of warmth in his heart and gritted his teeth to untie the Qiankun bag from his waist.

"Then I will give this Qiankun bag to the child!" He slammed the dark brown brocade bag onto the table with great pride.

She had just received the gleaming gold ingot when she saw the small, dull-colored bag that looked like it could only hold two eggs. Chai Xiaomi gave an embarrassed but polite smile: "Thank you, Brother Yu."
