Unknown Intrusion

Chapter 63 The Injured Cat

You are the Song family's daughter, and their only child. You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, and your allowance in a year is more than my expenses in the past fourteen years. I still don't hate you!

I was already planning to talk to her, and now I have an even better reason!
"That's enough for today." Mr. Cheng seemed to know some of the inside story, and his sigh was rather heavy: "Miss Song, some things are hard to force... You... sigh..."

Seeing the heartbroken girl like this, he felt truly troubled. But could one force someone to accept a talent?
Although he understood Song Qiongyao's feelings.

"Qiaoqiao, come out with me." In the end, Mr. Cheng could only call his daughter.

"Miss Song, are you okay?"

The girl in the black dress rested her head on her arms, her shoulders still rising and falling gently, as if she were sobbing.

When Su Yu walked over, he could clearly hear her suppressed sobs.

"...Are you going to laugh at me?" She didn't look up, but murmured softly, her voice trembling with tears.

If Su Yu hadn't been so close, it would have been almost impossible to hear.

"No, I meant to say thank you for your help last time. You were a great help to me."

"……nothing."

"And the book you sent, it must be very expensive... Thank you so much."

"Don't mention it, it's to repay a favor and to show my appreciation for your help. Please accept it!"

Song Qiongyao's tone was icy cold, devoid of any warmth.

"I'm a bad woman!"

"Helping you is all for a purpose! Getting close to you, giving you things, everything... is all for a purpose!"

"You don't need to be grateful at all, because I'm not that kind of person!"

Su Yu frowned in embarrassment, sensing the difficulty this young girl could pose.

What should be done?
It's so troublesome. I'm really not good at dealing with women, especially young girls like this—if only I had a guide.

At this moment, Su Yu couldn't help but have this thought.

"Um... thank you for your sponsorship, I really need it." Su Yu said earnestly, "It has helped me a lot!"

"If you don't mind, I will repay you tenfold or a hundredfold in the future."

The girl's sobbing suddenly stopped.

"...You're pitying me!" The suppressed voice clearly carried a hint of anger.

"I don't need pity!" She suddenly raised her head and glared at Su Yu, her eyes slightly red and still glistening with tears, like a wounded cat.

"No... I'm sorry, I..." Not knowing what she had done to anger her again, Su Yu could only apologize repeatedly.

"what do you know!"

Do you know how much thought and effort I put in?

"I am oblivious!"

Like an angry kitten, she lashed out at Su Yu, completely lacking her usual maturity and elegance. Only now, with her face covered in tears, did she reveal the childishness befitting her age.

"I know." Su Yu wasn't angry. If he were really a teenager, he might have been angry at this moment, but looking at the girl who was crying her eyes out with tears streaming down her face, he only responded with understanding.

Although I, an indigenous person, didn't have much contact with her, I remember that she died very young.

"Bloodline disease?" The boss had mentioned it briefly before.

“I understand.” Su Yu nodded heavily. “Sometimes… I envy you… for having such a high social standing.”

In his calm voice, the boy could not utter a single word he had heard in his past life, but could only slowly say, "When you envied me, I envied you too... Doesn't that even things out?"

These words were vague, but Song Qiongyao, who was naturally well-mannered, gradually calmed down.

"sorry!"

"I was so angry with you just now, and I said such embarrassing things. It was really out of line... not elegant at all."

Regretfully bowing her head, she shyly brushed her hair aside to hide her tearful face.

"It must look...awful, right?" the girl asked softly.

"It's nothing. The young lady looks quite cute when she cries." "Please forget what just happened!" she pleaded softly.

"Haha, I don't remember!" Su Yu changed the subject: "By the way, Miss, I actually have something important to tell you."

"Oh, our great genius, actually came to see me in private." The young lady composed herself, her cheeks still flushed from crying.

At this moment, with her hands behind her back, she stood there gracefully like a peony. Just standing there, her long-trained etiquette made her exude elegance, which was captivating.

"Aren't you worried about your girlfriend getting upset?"

"Or……"

She deliberately drew out her words, and her gaze towards Su Yu seemed to carry a hint of teasing.

"You've already made up your mind to switch to another one?"

"If that's the case, then it's not impossible..."

"..." Su Yu really felt as if his heart had stopped beating for a moment.

"...I was just joking." Song Qiongyao smiled, and their eyes met briefly, like being electrocuted, before quickly looking away.

Su Yu could no longer distinguish between the real and the fake.

Looking at Qiaoqiao's seat, she suddenly sighed inexplicably, "I really like Qiaoqiao's things. Sometimes I really want to snatch them away."

Was this a pointed remark or a joke? Su Yu really couldn't tell. She just felt that the guest room seemed a bit too hot.

It must be because too much incense was burned!
Otherwise, why would my cheeks feel so hot?

In the empty classroom, Su Yu could hear his own heart beating unusually fast. It was quiet, a moment of solitude between the two of them.

【Favorability +5】

【Favorability +3】

【Favorability +2】

【Favorability +1】

【Favorability +1】

A series of prompts appeared one after another from the beginning, and only stopped when it reached 45, which fully met the system's requirement of 40 points of favorability. However, Su Yu had no interest in them.

"It's not a joke."

"What Miss Song said is probably true; she really does have some feelings for me."

"A favorability rating of 45...that's really not low, especially considering she probably doesn't have many male friends at all!"

The cheat system wouldn't lie to Su Yu; it faithfully reflected the changes in the relationship between the two.

Su Yu felt a mix of emotions.

Having already provoked Qiaoqiao, I have already decided in this life that I will never let her down and will definitely change my and her sad future!
However, now they've provoked another one...

What will happen in the future?

But that's for the future; something else is more important right now.

"Miss Song, I have something important to say," Su Yu said solemnly.

"What is it? Tell me." She tossed her long hair with her elbow, her beautiful hair cascading down her back.

Sunlight streamed through the window, making her hair shimmer and attracting Su Yu's attention. Upon seeing this, Song Qiongyao narrowed her eyes and her lips curved into a smile.

He seemed to be in a much better mood.

"That's right, I've sorted out the details of the previous investigation." Su Yu calmed himself down and spoke slowly.

"Really? I'm still a little interested in that. Did you find out the truth?" Song Qiongyao asked in a good mood.

"The speculation is true; someone is indeed hunting for bloodlines."

"Hmm." Up to this point, her expression remained unchanged. She was the one who investigated the origins of the surnames on the list.

However, this doesn't seem to have much to do with the Song family.
