Chapter 127 So, you like me, right?

Chapter 127 So, you like me, right?

Those hands were icy cold, like ghostly claws reaching out from the abyss, gripping Fu Xiaoting's throat tightly.

A feeling of suffocation surged up like a tidal wave.

Fu Xiaoting suddenly opened his eyes.

A man who looked exactly like him was standing in front of him, with a crazy and twisted smile on his face.

"Li Yuan!"

He spoke, his voice hoarse as if sandpaper was being rubbed.

"Is this how you act as 'Fu Xiaoting'?"

"She's just a mind reader, why don't you kill her?"

The man's hand tightened, his nails almost digging into Li Yuan's flesh.

Have you forgotten what you're supposed to be doing?

"You piece of trash!"

"Why won't you listen!"

"Why!"

The sharp questions echoed in his mind like a demonic whisper.

Li Yuan struggled desperately, but felt his strength being drained away little by little.

no!

Yunyang is not a strategy guide user!

He tried to speak, but only a hoarse, leaky sound came from his throat.

Just as he was about to faint, everything in front of him suddenly receded like the tide.

"call--!"

Fu Xiaoting (Li Yuan) suddenly sat up in bed, panting heavily.

His pajamas were soaked with cold sweat, sticking to his body and making him very uncomfortable.

He touched his neck, where the lingering phantom pain of being choked still burned.

Thank goodness... thank goodness it was just a dream.

Fu Xiaoting looked around. The dim lighting and familiar furnishings made his tense nerves relax a little.

But the face of that crazy man in his dream, and the words he spoke, were like a brand, deeply engraved in his mind.

A sudden surge of irritability and fear welled up inside me.

He has only one thought in mind right now.

He wanted to see Yunyang.

Immediately, right away.

I need to see her and make sure she's safe.

Li Yuan lifted the covers and opened the top drawer of the bedside table.

Inside lay a white velvet box, lying quietly.

He took the box out and opened it.

Under the soft light, a large square pink diamond hangs on an exquisite platinum necklace.

It weighs a full ten carats.

The diamond's cut is so perfect that every facet reflects a dazzling light, almost blinding people.

...

As soon as Yun Yang entered Fu Xiaoting's room, she felt a gust of wind pass behind her.

She was startled, but before she could turn around...

A pair of icy hands reached out from behind and gently encircled her neck.

It wasn't pinching, but a gentler touch.

Immediately afterwards, something even colder than her hands touched the skin of her neck.

Yun Yang subconsciously shrank her neck.

What the heck?

She looked down and gasped in shock.

Oh my god!

What a huge pink diamond!

The light is blindingly bright, the cut is perfect, and the weight is substantial...

This is practically equivalent to wearing a luxury villa from a first-tier city around your neck!

We're rich! We're rich!

Countless ¥ symbols instantly appeared in Yun Yang's eyes.

She dashed to the full-length mirror in the room at the speed of light.

In the mirror, the pink diamond sparkled on her fair neck, making her look incredibly elegant.

"Wow, so beautiful!"

Yun Yang couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, looking at herself in the mirror from left to right, completely captivated by her reflection.

"Who is this? She's so beautiful!"

She couldn't stop smiling.

Indeed, expensive jewelry itself cannot improve a person's complexion.

But the thought of wearing a villa on my wrist brings me such joy that my complexion looks amazing!

Fu Xiaoting's gaze was glued to Yun Yang, as if it were sticky.

Seeing her so happy, like a child, over a necklace, the lines on his face softened unconsciously, and his eyes were full of doting smiles.

very nice.

As long as she's happy.

He quietly walked behind Yun Yang and looked at her in the mirror.

Then, he gently rested his chin on her shoulder.

"Since my sister is so happy, can we give her a reward?"

As he spoke, Fu Xiaoting slowly moved his lips toward Yun Yang's cheek.

They were about to kiss.

Yun Yang, however, seemed to have eyes in the back of her head, subtly turning her head slightly to avoid it.

She turned around and took Fu Xiaoting's hand, which was still on her shoulder.

"Why are your hands so cold when you just got up?"

Yun Yang smiled with concern, wrapped her hands around his, and rubbed them vigorously.

"Here, let me warm you up."

Fu Xiaoting's smile froze.

He could feel the softness and warmth in his palm.

But that's not what he wanted!

He abruptly pulled his hand back, turned around and sat on the bed, grabbing a pillow and hugging it to his chest, his back to Yun Yang.

The entire sequence of movements was performed in one go, filled with grievance and resentment.

"My sister doesn't like me anymore when she sees other handsome guys."

His voice was muffled, sounding extremely aggrieved.

It's all because of that Hamburger; I really wish I could weld his shell to his body!

With that dog-like face, how could he possibly seduce Yun Yang!

One hundred and eight ways to get rid of the imaginary love rival flashed through his mind.

Yun Yang listened to the earth-shattering plan in his mind and sighed helplessly.

This little brat is really jealous.

But when did she ever say she liked him?

[Ha, I knew you weren't truly sincere towards the male lead; the original female lead was.]

Suddenly, the system spoke in a strange and sarcastic tone in my mind.

Yun Yang's lips twitched.

sincere?

Is it the kind of sincerity that wants him dead?

And how did this damn system get back into her head? It's like a persistent ghost.

Having been met with a cold reception, the system, seemingly unwilling to remain silent, started to speak again, trying to make conversation.

Why does he call you "sister"...?

Before it could finish speaking, Yun Yang mentally retorted.

You can also call me Mother!

system:【……】

[Why are you in such a hurry? I just find it strange. Didn't you suspect his identity before? Isn't that calling him "sister" a big point of suspicion?]

Yun Yang rolled her eyes inwardly.

Son, I'm not in a hurry!

system:【……】

Yun Yang was busy battling wits with the system in her mind and didn't have time to pay attention to the grumbling ancestor on the bed.

Fu Xiaoting interpreted her silence as tacit agreement.

He mistakenly believed that Yun Yang was truly determined to ignore him.

A bittersweet anger flared up from the bottom of his heart.

Fu Xiaoting's knuckles turned white from gripping the pillow so tightly.

He suddenly jumped out of bed and rushed to Yun Yang in a few steps.

"A 'dad-like boyfriend' doesn't mean you should date someone else's dad!"

Yun Yang was stunned by his nonsensical remark.

"What?"

Seeing her blank expression, Fu Xiaoting's anger flared even more.

He took a step closer, staring intently at her, and questioned her.

"Are you interested in Hamburger Bro?"

Yun Yang: "Huh?"

Isn't this topic jumping a bit too fast?

He kept wondering what Hamburg was doing, even after the other person said he was mentally ill.

She paused for a moment before realizing what she meant and quickly shook her head.

"I already said no."

To prevent Fu Xiaoting from overthinking, she explained in a serious tone.

"I'm a traditional girl, and I'm not really comfortable with cross-cultural relationships."

"The main concern is that we might have different eating habits and not be able to eat together, which is very important."

Upon hearing this, the gloom in Fu Xiaoting's heart vanished instantly.

He couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a smug smile.

"We can eat together."

"So, you like me, right?"

This is not a question, but an affirmative statement.

Yun Yang instinctively wanted to shake her head.

She simply loved the endless amount of money in his pocket.

No, saying that makes her seem like a bad person.

The correct copy should be: I like money, but it just so happens that the money is in his pocket.

But as she was about to speak, she remembered that damned system that was still eavesdropping in her head.

If she denies it, Xiaoting might kiss her again to verify if she's telling the truth.

Wouldn't that make the system realize that Xiaoting isn't from this world?

Left with no other choice, Yun Yang could only nod stiffly.

When Fu Xiaoting saw her nod, his smile instantly brightened.

But the next second, he noticed the reluctant expression on Yun Yang's face and couldn't help but frown slightly.

It doesn't seem like they genuinely like each other at all.

Fu Xiaoting's eyes turned dangerous. He leaned close to Yun Yang, almost touching her ear, and whispered in a seductive tone.

"I don't believe it. Let me hear it, is it true?"
