Peerless Cupid System

"Little brother, turn around and let me see you!" Cupid-chan said in a commanding tone.

"Turn it!" Huan Yue urged Ling Ziqian.

"..." Ling Ziqian stood there with a dark face and spun around.

"Strange, where's the sign? Is it covered by a towel? Quickly remove the towel!"

"Haha..." Huan Yue burst into laughter.

Ling Ziqian's face darkened, unsure of what to say.

"Little brother, hurry up!" Cupid-chan said irritably and impatiently.

"Hurry up, you big dummy!" Clutching the towel at his waist, Ling Ziqian quickly stepped forward, pushed Cupid out, and then slammed the door shut.

Cupid stood outside the bathroom, suddenly annoyed. She shouted, "Beautiful sister, my little brother is bullying me!"

Yu Meiren stormed upstairs from downstairs, yelling, "How did that bastard bully you?"

He wanted to take a shower with me!

"what?"

"puff!"

In the bathroom, Ling Ziqian vomited blood violently. That little devil, Cupid!

"Oh!"

The fierce Yu Meiren kicked open the bathroom door.

In the bathroom, Ling Ziqian was terrified!

Seeing Ling Ziqian in such a disheveled state, Cupid smiled and said it was nothing, then pulled Yu Meiren away, leaving Ling Ziqian bewildered in the wind.

Episode 25: Protecting Her

Chapter 193: Secretly watching him in the kitchen!

After taking a shower, Ling Ziqian went into the room to blow-dry his hair.

Yu Meiren suddenly appeared, startling Ling Ziqian. He was worried she would stuff him into the oven.

However, Yu Meiren was not there to judge Ling Ziqian. She reached for the hairdryer and started drying Ling Ziqian's hair.

"Why take a shower so early in the morning?" Yu Meiren said with a hint of resentment as she dried Ling Ziqian's hair.

"You didn't shower last night." Ling Ziqian felt a warmth in his heart, but also a little worried. "That Xiao Ai was talking nonsense just now..."

"I know, but I doubt you have the guts."

Although he wasn't misunderstood, Ling Ziqian felt very unhappy.

"What did you and Xiao Rong do last night?" Yu Meiren asked curiously.

"Didn't do anything!" Ling Ziqian blurted out those five words.

Yu Meiren couldn't help but tap Ling Ziqian on the head. "Do you think I'm an idiot? Do you think I wouldn't notice what's that red thing on your neck?"

"Uh..." Ling Ziqian quickly covered his neck with his hand. He had also noticed it when he was taking a shower; it was a hickey left after a kiss.

"And then, did you and Xiao Rong officially become a couple?" Yu Meiren asked while drying Ling Ziqian's hair.

"No." Ling Ziqian lowered his head awkwardly.

"After all this, are we still just friends?" Yu Meiren asked, somewhat surprised.

"Well, I wanted to talk about this, but she changed the subject. What happened last night... she wanted to pretend it never happened," Ling Ziqian said apologetically.

Yu Meiren nodded, indicating that she understood.

She combed Ling Ziqian's hair and said, "You two are still young, so there's no rush for dating. Just don't make a mess of things in the end, okay?"

Ling Ziqian couldn't help but look up. "Sister Beauty, you seem to know a lot about these things. Have you ever had such an experience?"

"Even if I've never eaten pork, I've at least seen a pig run!" Yu Meiren exclaimed.

"...So you're saying you've never been in a relationship?" Ling Ziqian asked curiously.

"Hmph, back then, I had at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, men chasing after me!"

"And then what? You didn't like any of them?"

"I've got my eye on one."

Ling Ziqian's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"What, are you jealous?" Yu Meiren chuckled to herself.

"...No, what about the person you like? Did he ignore you, didn't like you, or..."

“He doesn’t know,” Yu Meiren said casually.

"You actually have a crush on someone?" Ling Ziqian was dumbfounded. Yu Meiren was so beautiful, how could she have a crush on a man!

Ling Ziqian felt that Yu Meiren's image in his mind had been somewhat subverted.

"Secretly in love with you, my foot!" Yu Meiren said, somewhat annoyed. "I'm openly in love with you!"

"Huh?" Ling Ziqian was terrified. "Does that person know how he treated you?"

“It’s completely unacceptable. I cook and do laundry for him every day, and he expects to be waited on hand and foot. He has no idea that I like him or that I love him!”

Ling Ziqian blushed. Was Yu Meiren talking about him?

“That’s right, it’s you, you good-for-nothing!” Yu Meiren tapped Ling Ziqian on the head. “Back then, eight hundred people were chasing after me, but when I saw you with the abandoned puppy, I chose you without hesitation.”

This guy was talking nonsense, but Ling Ziqian still understood some things. She had given up a lot for him!

Her hair was already dry. Yu Meiren put down the comb and hairdryer and reached out to cup Ling Ziqian's cheeks.

Their eyes met, and Ling Ziqian looked away awkwardly, while Yu Meiren laughed heartily.

"Since someone as beautiful as me chose you, you better have some confidence. Don't make me feel like I made the wrong choice and regret it!"

"Mm," Ling Ziqian responded, feeling somewhat embarrassed by the intimate treatment from Yu Meiren.

"Go check on Mingxi quickly. She's definitely caught a cold. Remember to stay with her. When people are sick, they feel incredibly lonely. When you were little and sick, you would always hug me tightly and call me 'sister.'"

"Is he calling for his mother?"

"You brat, will you die if you don't expose me?!"

Yu Meiren gave Ling Ziqian a flick on the forehead and then turned and left.

Ling Ziqian scratched his head and couldn't help but laugh.

After eating a piece of bread for breakfast, Ling Ziqian waved to Yu Meiren and Cupid Sauce, then rode Su Mingxi's pink bicycle towards her house.

During the journey, Ling Ziqian glanced at his silver watch; it only showed 1 point of ambiguity.

Although Yu Meiren had her cheeks cupped just now, she didn't collect any ambiguous points.

Of course, how could I possibly be flirting with that guy!

A mere hint of ambiguity couldn't cure Su Mingxi's cold.

Ling Ziqian stopped his car at the pharmacy and bought some medicine.

Not long after, they arrived at Su Mingxi's house. The gate to the yard was unlocked, and Ling Ziqian pushed his bicycle inside.

Hearing the sound of the courtyard gate opening, Su Mingxi appeared on the second-floor balcony.

When Su Mingxi saw Ling Ziqian arrive, he parked his bicycle, and she felt a warm feeling in her heart.

She quickly went downstairs, opened the door, and smiled at Ling Ziqian, "Ziqian, you're here."

Ling Ziqian turned to look at the guy, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "Mom said you might have caught a cold, so she sent me to check on you. I bought you some medicine. Are you alright?"

"It's nothing!" Su Mingxi quickly shook her head and smiled, "Sister Mei is so thoughtful."

"Hmm." Ling Ziqian nodded. He noticed that Su Mingxi's face was very red, but he wasn't sure if it was from shyness or from a fever.

Huan Yue laughed and said, "Just reach out and touch her forehead, you'll know, you idiot!"

Who doesn't know this method? The question is, is it appropriate? Really.

While complaining about Huan Yue, Ling Ziqian entered the house.

"Did you take your medicine?" Ling Ziqian asked Su Mingxi. (The last sentence appears to be a fragment and doesn't translate directly.)

"No, the pills are too bitter to swallow." Su Mingxi gave an embarrassed smile. "But it's okay, my body can produce antibodies, and the cold will naturally get better after a while."

"This won't do. I bought you some cold medicine; it shouldn't be bitter. Where's the cup?"

Su Mingxi quickly grabbed a cup and used the kettle to heat up the tap water.

Ling Ziqian looked at the packaging of the powder and tore open a packet.

After a while of work, the two of them managed to make a cup of powder.

"Drink this quickly, and your cold will be cured!"

"Oh."

Looking at the dark, steaming, and medicinal-smelling powder, Su Mingxi's pretty face was filled with embarrassment.

She picked up the cup, took a small sip carefully, then frowned, pursed her lips, and looked troubled.

"It's so bitter..." she said softly and awkwardly.

"Oh." Ling Ziqian scratched his head, looking troubled.

The ambiguity level is still only 1 point, which is not enough to cure Su Mingxi's cold!

She caught a cold because she was waiting for me to come home and foolishly stayed at the cake shop late at night.

Ling Ziqian felt guilty, but Su Mingxi couldn't take her medicine, and he didn't know what to do.

"Idiot, use another method!" Huan Yue shouted.

"Are you suggesting that you use kisses to gain 'ambiguity points'?" Ling Ziqian knew Huan Yue was unreliable.

"Kiss my ass! What are you thinking about?"

"Pfft!" Ling Ziqian spat out a mouthful of blood, actually being looked down upon by this unreliable guy. "Then what is the other method you mentioned?"
