Chapter 64 - "Bring It On!"

Lai Jiayi thought hard as she subconsciously prickled her dry lips, tearing off the dead cell.

'Our method now is the safest, but I don't know what to say anymore, ah!'

Lai Jiayi kept playing with her lips, not noticing that Zhao Yang looked at her with a deep frown.

"You." Zhao Yang suddenly stretched his right arm and grabbed the girl's wrist.

?!

Lai Jiayi almost jerked off like a frightened rabbit. "Y-yes??" The girl shook Zhao Yang's hand on her wrist, and the guy just casually pulled the girl's hand away from her lips.

"Don't play with your lips like that. What if it bleeds?" Zhao Yang shook his head and sighed. He looked disappointed in Lai Jiayi since the girl didn't know basic health.

Lai Jiayi was stunned. The girl subconsciously touched her dry lips, and her face turned red.

'I don't need you to tell me!!'

The girl was cursing in her heart, but outside, she nodded obediently. "Y-yes, boss, t-thank you."

'Now he is back to be naggy? Ha, I don't know what's in your mind.'

Lai Jiayi peeked at Zhao Yang, who was gently caressing Bunnie's head as he stood still.

'You were cold to me a few minutes ago, and now you act like a caring boyfriend. Then what's next? Avoiding me like the plague? Duh, Mr. Zhao, why are you so unpredictable??'

Lai Jiayi was thinking like this when Zhao Yang suddenly spoke,

"If our business is done, I'll leave." The man was already prepared to leave for real. He gripped Bunnie in his hand and was about to turn around.

!

[Yaya, how many more minutes– ]

[One, quack!! Keep him here, quack!!]

Lai Jiayi didn't think much and instantly shouted before Zhao Yang completely turned around.

"W-wait, boss! There's more!"

Her loud voice sounded throughout the yard, but thankfully, the one inside the car couldn't hear it.

Zhao Yang paused. He looked back at Lai Jiayi and stood still again.

"What now?" The man tapped his right foot to the ground, looking impatient. One could see his face was dark, even when he didn't look like this before.

His mood flipped faster than a pancake!

In fact, Zhao Yang was regretting his action reminding Lai Jiayi not to play with her dry lips. The man put on a stern expression so that he won't lose control.

'Damn this habit. I should stop nagging others.'

Lai Jiayi stared at Zhao Yang in silence. She blinked fast, not knowing what to say.

'I just subconsciously call him out. I don't know what I can say! Uh, good weather? Asking about Zhao Yun or– '

"If you don't speak, I'll leave, " Zhao Yang suddenly said in a threatening voice.

Lai Jiayi's heart jumped out of its place.

'MAMMA MIA! Help– '

TING! [Otome game assistance is activated.]

A brown transparent hologram panel abruptly appeared in front of Lai Jiayi with two sentences on it.

"Let me get this straight. I don't have diarrhea!"

"Boss, why are you avoiding me? Are you mad?"

10. 9. 8.

Lai Jiayi almost fainted on the spot.

'WHY NOW?! And...VERBAL CHOICE??'

The girl looked at Yaya with dead fish eyes.

[Help me– ]

[45 seconds more, quack. I have to focus on this. Else, I might fail to make the gas, quack!] With that short answer, Yaya cut off their telepathy and left Lai Jiayi on her own.

The girl had the urge to throw Yaya to a dump of shit.

'Ungrateful duck!!'

Lai Jiayi wanted to pull her hair as the timer went down from 10 to 5 real fast. If she didn't choose soon, the system would randomly decide, and the barometer might drop.

Lai Jiayi's knees lost strength. Her legs wobbled, and the girl almost fell if not for her strong will to face this dilemma.

'Let's treat this f*cking otome game assistance as my helper!'

Lai Jiayi re-read the sentences and immediately decided on the second option.

'Why would I mention the diarrhea case again? I'm not dumb, okay?!'

The girl was about to choose B, but then, she suddenly hesitated.

'Wait, wait. What if Zhao Yang gets disgusted with me when I ask him this question? If I ask him why he's avoiding me...won't he feel turned off?'

Lai Jiayi felt a shiver down her spine. The girl was about to reconsider when she saw the timer was already hitting 1.

! Damn!

[I choose B!] Lai Jiayi shouted just right before the timer hit 0.

'Screw it. I'll just use my puppy eyes or something to appear pitiful so that this guy won't get disgusted with me!'

TING! [You choose B. "Boss, why are you avoiding me? Are you mad?" Please say so in 10 seconds.]

The panel disappeared, replaced by a huge timer.

10. 9. 8.

Lai Jiayi inhaled and immediately spoke, not waiting any longer.

"B-boss! Why are you avoiding me? A-are you...mad?" The girl looked at Zhao Yang with teary eyes. She used all her acting skull– skill! to appear pitiful in front of the man.

BA-THUMP.

Zhao Yang's expression stiffened. The man's face turned pale. He staggered a bit.

"What do you mean? I don't– "

"Y-you did! Y-you were avoiding me. A-and you acted cold, y-you also…" Lai Jiayi was panting hard as she tried to finish her words. She spoke too fast until she almost bit her tongue.

"A-anyway, are you mad at me?" Lai Jiayi bit her lips tightly on purpose.

'Let my lips bleed! This way, I'll appear more pitiful than before. Zhao Yang, you are weak to a pitiful and fragile creature? Bring it on!'

The barometer– can't drop!
