I seem to be being watched by them.

"Yufei is sleeping over there? Ah? Oh...that's okay, you can go ahead." Wang Nanyuan's voice sounded very surprised.

Yu Hongli in the room couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Sister Nanyuan, laugh if you want to. You wanted to get me drunk last night, wasn't it just to make things convenient for Su Yang and Wang Yufei?"

Although you may not have any idea how far these two people went last night, right?

Yu Hongli knew very well what Wang Nanyuan wanted to do. She just wanted to try to repair the relationship between Su Yang and Wang Yufei...

However, when he heard Su Yang's footsteps, Yu Hongli hurriedly opened the system store, exchanged the "Common Secret" card, selected Su Yang and Wang Yufei as the objects, and used the card!

"Ding, the effect of the 'Shared Secret' card takes effect. 250 system points have been deducted, and the current balance is 540 points." The AI's cold voice sounded, and Yu Hongli finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When Su Yang walked to the door and opened it, he saw Yu Hongli, who seemed to have just gotten up. He opened his mouth, but suddenly he was speechless. He only felt his heart beating fast and panicked...

Before he came, he had clearly prepared to say it, but perhaps because he saw Yu Hongli, he was scared... flustered, and suddenly felt that these words were a little hard to say...

Do you really want to tell Yu Hongli?

What if the red carp gets angry?

What if Hongli breaks up with him in a fit of anger?

Su Yang didn't realize that his thinking logic had changed subtly. In the past, he would never hesitate on such a matter. He would definitely tell Yu Hongli the truth first...

But now, due to the effect of the card, he began to worry that Yu Hongli would leave him after he said it...

If I don't tell Hongli, Hongli may never know it in her entire life. Then, there will be no problem with my relationship with Hongli, and Wang Yufei can continue to be a colleague and friend of Hongli. I and Wang Yufei can also put aside the past grudges and continue to be friends.

If she told Yu Hongli, not to mention her relationship with Hongli, the relationship between Hongli and Wang Yufei would most likely break up. Who could be friends with a woman who slept with her boyfriend? Dadu is not that generous...

The two of them will definitely become awkward and their relationship will gradually become cold, and eventually nothing will happen...

My relationship with Sister Nanyuan will also be blown away because of this...

Should I...really tell Hongli?

"Su Yang? Good morning~" Yu Hongli greeted Su Yang with a smile, "Did Yu Fei sleep on our side last night?"

"Hmm..." Su Yang came back to his senses and nodded slowly. In the end, he was unable to tell the truth that he slept with Wang Yufei last night.

"Can she sleep on the sofa? Have you brought her a blanket?" Yu Hongli got out of bed. "It's so cold in winter, don't catch a cold."

Su Yang found that after Yu Hongli knew that Wang Yufei slept in their house, she did not show any suspicion as to whether something happened between the two last night. He could not help but feel even more guilty, but he could not bring himself to tell the truth.

"Well...she slept well last night." Su Yang said with some guilt.

"Ding, Su Yang chose to conceal the truth, his corruption value +3, now it is 16/100." The AI's cold voice sounded.

Yu Hongli seemed not to notice Su Yang's strange behavior and smiled: "That's right, you must have taken good care of her last night... Well, but why did I end up sleeping in Yu Fei's room? Alas, I drank too much last night and don't know what happened."

Su Yang pursed his lips and gave a forced smile, "Yeah... I was also... a little drunk."

Yu Hongli saw Su Yang's expression and felt a little sad. She knew that Su Yang must be feeling bad... But in order to treat him, she could only ignore it... I'm sorry, baby, I will tell you everything when everything is over...

"Is Hongli here?" At this time, Wang Nanyuan poked her head out and found that Yu Hongli was really here. She was a little surprised, "Why did Hongli sleep here?"

"I don't know either, Sister Nanyuan. I seem to have disturbed you all night without you knowing." Yu Hongli said with a smile, "You don't mind, do you?"

"Look at what you said, why should I mind?" Wang Nanyuan said with a smile: "I remember that it was Su Yang who helped me back last night. Could it be that Su Yang mistakenly brought you and Yu Fei? He thought you were Yu Fei and brought you back, leaving Yu Fei behind."

Hearing this, Su Yang felt guilty for a moment, and he quickly said, "I drank too much last night, so I might have made a mistake. I remember that after I helped Yu Fei over, I saw Hong Li sleeping on the sofa, so I took a blanket to cover her and went to sleep."

Wang Nanyuan looked at Su Yang with a smile and noticed his panic and the loopholes in his words. She looked at Yu Hongli and thought that Yu Hongli should have noticed it as well.

Unexpectedly, Yu Hongli didn't seem to doubt it at all. She smiled and said, "It seems that I can't drink so much next time."

Wang Nanyuan blinked. Was Hongli too slow? Was he not worried at all about Yufei sleeping on the other side last night and doing something with Su Yang?

Chapter 43 You two have a great relationship

Su Yang looked at Yu Hongli and tried to tell the truth again and again, but when the words came to his lips, the panic in his heart surged up and he could not say it out loud.

He began to worry about the consequences of doing so.

Yu Hongli seemed not to notice anything unusual and was still smiling and chatting with Wang Nanyuan.

How could Yu Hongli not notice Su Yang's unusual behavior? But now she had to pretend that she saw nothing.

Yu Hongli was not dull at all, on the contrary, she was a very sharp woman, but now she had to pretend to be dull.

"AI, why do I feel like Su Yang still wants to tell the truth?" Yu Hongli said with some concern: "Didn't we use the 'Shared Secret' card?"

"The effect of 'shared secret' is achieved by increasing Su Yang's 'panic level' when he confesses the 'secret'. It does this by increasing his heart rate. To put it bluntly, it is the effect of a reverse beta blocker. Specifically, when Su Yang is about to confess, his heart rate will increase, making him feel so panicked that he can't tell the truth. If he doesn't tell the truth, his heart rate will return to normal. The contrast between the increase and decrease will lead him to choose to conceal the truth. Of course, this way of increasing heart rate is only 'virtual' and will not affect Su Yang's health. It is similar to brain waves that are directly felt by his brain. In fact, his heart rate is very normal. It is precisely because of this that the virtual heart rate can be raised very high, creating a state of 'extreme panic'."

"Su Yang was originally panicking about telling you the truth, but the weight of confessing to you was higher than the weight of hiding the truth due to panic, so he would tell you the truth. Now with the added weight of 'panic', the weight of hiding the truth is higher than the weight of confessing, so he finally chose to hide it."

The AI ​​explained: "As this effect continues, as Su Yang gradually develops resistance to this 'panic', and Su Yang is very determined to tell you the truth, and works hard to overcome this 'panic', then Su Yang will indeed tell you the truth."

Yu Hongli was shocked. "No, this is 250 system points? How can this effect be escaped?"

"Host, do you still remember the real price of the 'Cognitive Error' card?" The AI ​​said, "The effect of the 'Cognitive Error' card is essentially to put Su Yang into a state similar to dreaming, which then affects Su Yang and makes him make mistakes in judgment, so he will mistake Wang Yufei for you, and then his own brain will perfect the rest of the settings. For example, if he mistakes Wang Yufei for you, then the original you and the you played by Wang Yufei will overlap. It is obviously unreasonable to have two of you at the same time, so the system will guide his brain to adjust the original you to Wang Yufei, deceiving himself. In this way, the final effect is that he mistakes Wang Yufei for you and you for Wang Yufei."

"This is already the highest level that the system can do, similar to powerful hypnosis. The real price of the 'Cognitive Error' card is 10 system points. So, I think the 'Common Secret' card is only 250, which is really low. It has always been this price. What's more, Su Yang has started to cheat. The host's points will continue to flow in the future. There is no need to worry. The system is an honest seller. Don't talk as if the system will harm you."

The AI ​​explained in a cold voice.

Yu Hongli thought it made sense, and said, "I thought you could just tell Su Yang not to talk about this so-called 'secret' based on the rules."

The AI ​​said: "The system can't do this kind of thing. The host thinks too much. If I can do it, do I need your help to make Su Yang cheat? For example, the effect of the 'Shared Secret' card uses Su Yang's existing panic and adds some false panic effects to achieve the purpose. If Su Yang himself does not have a panic effect, I can't interfere with him. Directly outputting virtual panic emotions to him will only make him feel confused and will not be affected much."

"In addition, these false emotions themselves also require the consumption of system points. System points are similar to my source of power. Without using system points, what I can do is very limited."

"There is also the 'Cognitive Error' card. Although the card itself is very powerful, the purpose of achieving it is also to use the 'dream-like' to form his favorability towards you, and to achieve the host's desired goal. The system cannot directly let Su Yang do anything, nor can it directly interfere with Su Yang's feelings."

"I can't let Su Yang fall in love with anyone, nor can I let him hate anyone. I can only build a certain environment to induce him to do something. Although I can create virtual emotions for him for a short time, emotions are only false and temporary. Feelings are permanent. I cannot change them. The host must be clear about this."

Yu Hongli couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard these words, "Why didn't you tell me clearly before I exchanged it?"

"If you make these rules too clear, the host will misjudge and hesitate. So if the host wants to exchange something to achieve a certain goal, and I judge that it can be achieved, then I will not explain it in detail."

"The rules of many items are actually very detailed. They may be affected by various subtle factors in different environments, resulting in different effects. It takes a lot of time to explain all the rules in detail." The AI ​​explained: "Instead of that, since it can meet the host's needs, sometimes the rules don't need to be fully stated, right?"

"What should we do now?" Yu Hongli was a little worried. "Although Su Yang won't tell me the truth now, he will definitely tell me after a while, right?"

"The host actually has a way, doesn't he?" said the AI.

Yu Hongli did have an immature method, so she asked tentatively, "Are you sure it's feasible?"

"Host, you must have confidence in yourself. Apart from the fact that your combat capability is too poor, you are also a high-quality human female." The AI ​​rarely praised Yu Hongli.

"Su Yang, let's go back first." Yu Hongli ignored the AI ​​and returned to reality. She said to Su Yang with a smile.

Even though life forced her to send her boyfriend to sleep with another woman, she still had to be strong and live with a smile instead of a sad face. I lived with a smile...

Su Yang looked at Yu Hongli and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. When did he become so timid... and so worried about gains and losses...

Is it because you are too afraid of losing the red carp?

Otherwise, why would I feel so panicked as soon as I opened my mouth?

But is it really good for their relationship to keep it a secret? Maybe it would be better to be honest...

As soon as he thought of "confessing", panic surged into his heart, making Su Yang feel a faint pain in his heart. He put his hand on his chest, and felt that the pain was a bit strange, like pain but not pain, just like pain.

But this uncomfortable feeling is not false.

"Hey? Why don't you have breakfast here before going back?" After hearing what Yu Hongli said, Wang Nanyuan tried to persuade her to stay.

"No need. My sister will get up soon and I have to prepare breakfast for her. I won't trouble Sister Nanyuan." Yu Hongli declined.

Su Yang came back to his senses. He didn't know whether Wang Yufei had packed up yet. When he thought about Yu Hongli discovering the truth, panic surged up again. He said, "Just have breakfast here. Your sister usually wakes up late anyway."

Seeing Su Yang trying to stop her, Yu Hongli probably guessed that Wang Yufei might not have finished packing yet, so she nodded slowly.

Wang Nanyuan chuckled and said, "You see, what I said was useless, but Hongli agreed as soon as Su Yang opened his mouth. What a good relationship."

"Yes, we are a model couple. There are no secrets between us." Yu Hongli looked at Su Yang and said with a smile, "Right? Su Yang, I have nothing to hide from you. Do you have anything to hide from me?"

Yu Hongli actually still has something to hide, and that is something related to the system. But it’s not that Yu Hongli is unwilling to tell Su Yang, but the system doesn’t allow her to, otherwise she will be electrocuted...mlgb.

When Su Yang heard what Yu Hongli said, he might have simply nodded decisively in the past, but now, he felt very guilty.

He opened his mouth and was about to mention what happened last night when panic surged over him again. He could only feel his heart beating faster and a tingling sensation. He had no choice but to give up, and once he gave up, those uncomfortable feelings completely disappeared, as if they had never existed, leaving only an empty feeling of guilt.

It was as if his body was reminding him not to tell the truth...

Su Yang felt ashamed of his cowardice and could only say with a forced smile: "Well..."

Wang Nanyuan noticed Su Yang's abnormality and she couldn't help but blink. Could something really have happened?

"That's right, we are a model couple. When we confirmed our relationship, we said there would be no secrets." Yu Hongli held Su Yang's hand, interlocked their fingers, and said with a smile.

Her words were like a sharp knife stabbing into Su Yang's heart, making him feel even more guilty, but the panic still did not dissipate, making him unable to tell the truth.

How could Yu Hongli not notice Su Yang's guilty expression? Although she felt guilty, she had no choice but to do this at this moment...

The reason why he repeatedly emphasized that they had no secrets when Su Yang was still unable to confess was to increase the cost of confessing in the future and to create a feeling for Su Yang that "we clearly agreed that there were no secrets, but you actually hid such a thing." The higher the cost of confessing, the less likely Su Yang would confess even if he was no longer affected by panic in the future.

Afterwards, Yu Hongli also emphasized how angry Su Yang would be if he concealed the truth and how serious the consequences would be, so that Su Yang would realize how high the cost of being honest was. Once Su Yang felt that being honest was worse than concealing the truth, he would naturally not tell her when she "didn't need to know"...

Chapter 44 Your Boyfriend is Awesome

Su Yang and Yu Hongli sat on the sofa for a while, and Wang Yufei finally came back from next door.

She was now fully dressed, but her hair was still a little messy.

She saw Su Yang and Yu Hongli sitting on the sofa, her eyes were a little more flustered, and she didn't know what to say.

"Are you back? Yufei, did you sleep well last night?" Yu Hongli asked with a smile.

Wang Yufei found that Yu Hongli's attitude was surprisingly friendly, and it didn't seem like... he knew something.

Didn't Su Yang intend to tell Yu Hongli everything? Could it be that... Su Yang finally chose to conceal it?

Wang Yufei found it a little unbelievable, because based on her understanding of Su Yang, Su Yang should have told Yu Hongli, right?

"...It's okay." Wang Yufei said in a low voice.

"Really? I heard from Su Yang that you slept on the sofa last night. Did you catch a cold?" Yu Hongli asked with concern.

When Wang Yufei heard this, she was even more certain that Su Yang had chosen to conceal it. Although it was hard to believe, since this was the fact, there was nothing more to say.

"No, it was quite warm last night." Wang Yufei also smiled faintly. It was so hot last night, how could she catch a cold?

"Although I don't know why I came to your side, Su Yang is still at home. He will definitely take good care of you. I feel relieved." Yu Hongli said with a smile.

"Yes...Su Yang, he is very dedicated and responsible. You are a really good boyfriend." Wang Yufei said with a smile.

Su Yang, who was standing by, felt very complicated when he heard these words. He quickly pulled Yu Hongli to stand up and said, "Let's go back and wash up first. Hongli, come back later."

Yu Hongli agreed after hearing this and said with a smile: "Then Yufei, let's go back for a while and have breakfast together later."

"Okay." Wang Yufei nodded with a smile.

After the two left, Wang Nanyuan asked, "What happened last night?"

Wang Yufei was actually a little worried that after telling Wang Nanyuan about the matter, Wang Nanyuan would go and provoke Yu Hongli. This was not what Wang Yufei wanted at the moment, so she shook her head. Since the "shared secret" did not take effect, she still did not tell Wang Nanyuan what happened last night.

"Nothing really happened? I noticed Su Yang looked weird today." Wang Nanyuan frowned, "You're not lying to me, are you?"

"Why would I lie to you? You're drunk, what else can you do?" Wang Yufei shook her head.

"..." Wang Nanyuan did drink a little too much last night. She only vaguely remembered that she was sent back by Su Yang and slept until dawn. She really didn't know what happened last night, so she could only be skeptical now.

"It was such a good opportunity last night, it would have been a waste if nothing happened." Wang Nanyuan felt a little depressed when he thought of this, "Can you do it?"

"...Why do you always want to steal Hongli's business?" Wang Yufei felt helpless.

"It's better to see others suffer than to see you suffer, right?" Wang Nanyuan rolled his eyes. "Besides, Su Yang and Hong Li are not married. What's there to be afraid of if they are not married? The one who gets the last laugh is the one who gets married. If they are not married, it can't even be considered an extramarital affair."

Wang Yufei thought about what happened last night and was silent for a moment, "Do you think I really have a chance?"

"Why not?" Wang Nanyuan said earnestly, "But you have to take the initiative, you can't just do nothing, silly girl, if you really don't seize the opportunity, Su Yang will really marry someone else, do you want that? Think about it, in the end Su Yang and Hong Li get married, you are a bridesmaid, standing there with a tearful expression, offering them hypocritical blessings, and running around for their wedding, don't you feel bad?"

When Wang Yufei heard this, she felt upset and took a deep breath.

Once upon a time, she had thought about marrying Su Yang in a wedding dress. Once, she missed the opportunity, but now, the opportunity is in front of her again.

This might be the only chance she has left in her life. If she fails to seize it, she might lose Su Yang forever...
