Peerless Cupid System

That guy really knows himself.

Ling Ziqian nodded, "Could you talk to Dou Rongguo and ask him to let Xiao Rong stay at our house, saying it's for studying or something?"

"Are you still in Tianhai City? Haven't you come back yet?" Yu Meiren asked in return.

"I just got back..."

"Since you're back, go by yourself!"

Ling Ziqian was immediately embarrassed. "I wanted to say something, but Dou Rongguo came up with a profound statement that I couldn't refute."

Yu Meiren chuckled, "You're his daughter's boyfriend, and you can't even handle it, so what can I do?"

“Hey…” Ling Ziqian was speechless.

"It's nothing serious, pull yourself together, little man!"

“…Oh.” Ling Ziqian said somewhat awkwardly, “I’m not really disappointed, just a little… depressed.”

"In short, I can't help you with this, understand, son?"

"……understood."

"Beautiful sister, I want to talk to my little brother!" came Cupid's voice.

"Here you go. Don't try to comfort that guy. His girlfriend is leaving, and instead of chasing after her, he's calling me. That's really strange!"

Ling Ziqian was speechless, unsure how to respond to Yu Meiren.

A moment later, Cupid's voice came, "Little brother, are you back?"

"I'm back."

Did you bring me a gift?

"Uh... I don't have time to buy!"

"Hmph, I knew you didn't buy one, so I went to the store and bought a teddy bear myself!"

Cupid's voice was puffed out, and Ling Ziqian smiled awkwardly, wondering what she wanted to say to him.

Her sweet voice came again, "Do you have any flirtatious words for me? If you have lots and lots of flirtatious words, I'll give you a gift!"

Ling Ziqian was secretly pleased that the guy was going to give him a gift.

He raised his hand to look at his silver watch. He had collected 127 points of ambiguity value from sleeping with Shen Qiaoyan.

"There are over a hundred. What gift are you going to give me?" Ling Ziqian asked curiously.

"Hehe, you'll see when I get back. I'm hanging up now, bye!"

After the call ended, Ling Ziqian hesitated for a moment before calling Dou Xiaorong.

Unexpectedly, that guy turned off his phone.

What are her feelings right now?

After standing at the entrance of the residential area for a long time, Ling Ziqian turned around and returned to the cake shop not far away.

Su Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ling Ziqian return.

Have you had lunch?

"I ate it on the plane."

"That……"

She wanted to say something, but Su Mingxi couldn't say anything.

Ling Ziqian didn't go upstairs; instead, he leaned on the counter.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at Su Mingxi and asked, "Where is that guy? Is she... very sad?"

Su Mingxi smiled and shook her head. "She's very excited about moving. She even said things like distance makes the heart grow fonder."

No way?

Ling Ziqian was immediately depressed.

Su Mingxi grew bolder and reached out to flick Ling Ziqian's forehead.

Ling Ziqian looked at her in surprise.

Su Mingxi smiled sweetly, "Don't be discouraged. She didn't move to another city. She's still in Haitang City. We can meet anytime!"

That's what I said, but we can never go to school together again, and I can never eat the breakfast she gives me again...

"Do you... like her?"

Episode 24: Moving Gifts

Chapter 185 You almost scared me to death!

Su Mingxi suddenly asked this question.

Ling Ziqian was taken aback. How should he answer this question?

It's impossible for me to dislike someone, but as for liking someone... it's not the kind of liking between a man and a woman.

Not knowing how to answer, Ling Ziqian could only remain silent.

Su Mingxi smiled with rosy cheeks, showing no displeasure at Ling Ziqian's refusal to answer the question.

After a moment of silence, Ling Ziqian couldn't help but ask, "By the way, where exactly is that guy now?"

"She told me not to tell you." Su Mingxi smiled and shook her head.

"Why isn't she answering the phone? What's wrong? Honestly." Ling Ziqian couldn't help but overthink.

“Didn’t I tell you?” Su Mingxi looked straight at Ling Ziqian. “She was very happy, unlike you who was so disappointed.”

"..." Ling Ziqian was a little embarrassed. He scratched his head, "You said before that she wanted a gift, what kind of gift did she want?"

Su Mingxi waved her hand, indicating that she had no idea what gift Dou Xiaorong wanted.

All I can do is wait, wait for that guy to come to me.

Ling Ziqian slumped resentfully against the counter.

Su Mingxi smiled as she organized the pastries on the shelf. The scene was quite harmonious.

After a while, Cupid, Yu Meiren, and Cui Xue returned from shopping.

"Oh, brother, you're back!" Cui Xue excitedly ran into the store. She threw herself into Ling Ziqian's arms, hugging his arm with a grin. "Brother, what gifts did you buy in Tianhai City?"

Another guy asking for a gift. Ling Ziqian smiled awkwardly, "I'm not going there for fun, so I didn't buy a gift."

"Hehe, remember to buy me a gift next time, or I won't talk to you anymore!" Cui Xue said playfully, shaking Ling Ziqian's arm.

"Hmm. I'll remember next time," Ling Ziqian replied perfunctorily, his forehead covered in sweat. Is this how adults usually brush off children?

Yu Meiren and Cupid Sauce also entered the store.

Yu Meiren didn't pay much attention to Ling Ziqian's return.

"Xiaoxue, let's go upstairs!"

"Mmm, I want to try on the dress I just bought!" Cui Xue exclaimed excitedly. "I'll wear it and show it to my brother later!"

Ling Ziqian was speechless. "Winter is almost here, and you're still buying a skirt?"

Who says you can't wear a skirt in winter?

"..."

Yu Meiren rolled her eyes at Ling Ziqian and pulled Cui Xue upstairs.

Cupid stood quietly to the side, hugging a new teddy bear.

She smiled and walked over after Yu Meiren and Cui Xue went upstairs.

The first thing she did, naturally, was to ask for "ambiguity points".

Immediately, Ling Ziqian had only 1 point of Ambiguity Points left.

"Quite a lot!" Cupid-chan smiled sweetly.

"And then, what gift do you want to give me?" Ling Ziqian asked, puzzled.

“This!” Cupid-chan stretched out her hand, holding a strand of hair.

"Red thread?" Ling Ziqian was startled.

"Mm!" Cupid nodded smugly.

Su Mingxi, who was organizing the shelves, was immediately stunned.

Coming to her senses, she shyly asked Cupid, "Ai, do you call hair 'red thread'?"

"Mmm!" Cupid smiled sweetly.

“Then last time…” Su Mingxi remembered the time when Cupid tied her hair to her feet.

She glanced at Ling Ziqian, her face turning bright red.

Perhaps Cupid was playing a game, but for Su Mingxi, it was a very daring game, like playing house.

Su Mingxi was too embarrassed to stand with Ling Ziqian, so she quickly ran upstairs.

Ling Ziqian paid no attention to Su Mingxi; he was startled by the hair that Cupid had taken out.

"Hey, hey, hey, your hair is really scary! After you were tied up last time, your house was burgled, there were rats in the room, the gas mysteriously ran out, and the scariest thing was that a fire broke out!"

"Little brother, you remember it quite clearly!" Cupid-chan smiled happily.

"Don't try to set me up with random people! I don't want anything terrible to happen!" Ling Ziqian's expression was extremely terrified.

Cupid shook his head seriously, "The red thread is meant to connect lovers, so of course it needs to create events to make you develop feelings for each other. That's its mission!"

"I don't need its help anymore!"

"I told you before, have you forgotten? I said I would help develop your relationship and create more ambiguity, and then you could help me!"

"..." Of course Ling Ziqian remembered this incident. Not long ago, Cupid-chan said such a thing!

"See this? There's only half a red thread here. The other half is already tied to Xiao Rong's foot. If you don't cooperate, I'll just tie this half of the red thread to someone else!"
