Zhuang Xiao looked at Tu Yan's tall figure being blocked by the door. With the sound of the lock core returning to its original position, her shoulders drooped dejectedly.

Just when Zhuang Xiao was feeling confused, a familiar mechanical voice came, "You should have struck while the iron was hot and confessed to the hero."

Zhuang Xiao was a little surprised when she heard No. 23's sudden voice. Since it showed up, it has been elusive, especially towards Zhuang Xiao. It said it wanted her to do a task, but it just let her do whatever she wanted and even hoped she would get out of here as soon as possible.

But now... it is obvious that No. 23 has been paying attention to Tu Yan's movements. He seems to care very much, even to the point of being nervous.

why?

Just as Zhuang Xiao was about to think about it, No. 23's voice sounded again, "Why don't you take this opportunity to play sympathetic? When the male lead wakes up tomorrow and regains his senses, it will be difficult for you to fool him again."

"His name is Tu Yan." Zhuang Xiao said.

"I know the hero's name." No. 23 was a little confused about what she meant.

"He is a living person, as is everyone here. He has a name. Don't call him 'male protagonist, male protagonist'." Zhuang Xiao emphasized. The name No. 23 sounded irritating to her because of its arbitrarily controlling Tu Yan's life and its condescending attitude towards everyone.

“Instead of thinking about these things, you might as well think about whether the hero can still keep you by his side.” No. 23 was obviously dissatisfied. After saying this, he logged off with a bang.

Zhuang Xiao was not surprised at its behavior of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. He scratched his hair with a headache and thought, forget it, let's take it one step at a time.

Zhuang Xiao turned around and looked around the bedroom. As expected of a cool and domineering CEO, this huge room showed his wealth with its excellent view. The decoration revealed a low-key and exquisite luxury, but the style was very cold without a trace of unnecessary decoration.

Zhuang Xiao was tactful enough not to look at it any further. She lay down tiredly, wrapping her body in the soft quilt. Even in such a private place, she could not smell even a trace of Tu Yan's scent.

This room is more like a suite in a high-end hotel than a private bedroom.

Zhuang Xiao thought of Tu Yan's ending mentioned on No. 23, becoming the richest man and having a successful career and love life... Everything in his life seemed to be for this ending, even his feelings could be planned.

In this sense, she was also an accomplice who tried to plot and manipulate him.

Just now, No. 23 asked her why she didn't strike while the iron was hot and show the same persistence and ingratiating spirit she had shown before. She didn't answer, but she had the answer in her heart.

Before this, she believed that everything she did was just to save her own life, and she did not think too much about the mission on the 23rd.

But after living here for more than two months, Zhuang Xiao realized that the people here were not the protagonists, supporting roles, or passers-by mentioned by No. 23... Each of them was a passionate and lively person who lived his or her own life seriously, including Tu Yan.

And I, whether I did it intentionally or not, became the intruder, or even the destroyer, turning their real lives into data that could be arbitrarily tampered with by No. 23.

This feeling became even stronger when facing Tu Yan.

She was cheating on him emotionally, and was the only fake thing in his real world, messing up his life... After realizing this, it was hard for her to say those sweet words with a clear conscience as if she was playing a strategy game.

When Zhuang Xiao thought about this, his head felt a little swollen. He buried his head in the pillow and shook it quickly, forcing himself to get rid of all distracting thoughts.

Just as he was concentrating on preparing himself mentally, there were two knocks on the door. Zhuang Xiao hurriedly said, "Come in."

Tu Yan pushed the door open and saw Zhuang Xiao with most of his face buried in the soft pillow, as if absorbing the remaining breath from it.

His steps paused, and his hand holding the glass tightened unconsciously, and the tips of his ears felt a little hot.

Zhuang Xiao turned around and saw Tu Yan still wearing the slightly wrinkled shirt, obviously he had not had time to tidy himself up, but he was holding a cup of milk in his hand, the hot steam from the milk was rising from the cup wall, blurring Tu Yan's knuckles.

Zhuang Xiao quickly sat up, somewhat at a loss, "Boss Tu...thank you, you are so kind!"

Tu Yan glanced at Zhuang Xiao. Her hair was disheveled and scattered on the sides of her face. Her white jade-like cheeks were flushed, perhaps because of excitement. Her pair of black pupils were so bright that they seemed to be glowing. She was charming and cute.

Tu Yan felt a little awkward when this thought came to his mind. He quickly looked away and put the milk on the bedside table. The bottom of the cup made a crisp clinking sound and he said stiffly, "Drink it while it's hot. Don't blame my wine for everything."

Zhuang Xiao was stunned, and remembered that he had just molested someone and used alcohol as an excuse to get away with it, and he felt embarrassed.

Seeing that she was standing there motionless, Tu Yan stuffed the glass into her hand.

Zhuang Xiao hurriedly continued, and at Tu Yan's urging, she lowered her head and took a sip. The warm and fragrant milk flowed down her throat and warmed her stomach, making her heart feel warm as well.

She didn't expect that Tu Yan actually remembered what she had said casually. She was deeply moved by his concern. After drinking a cup of hot milk, the anxiety and grievances of the past few days seemed to be smoothed out, and even her nose felt a little sore.

Zhuang Xiao looked at him seriously and said sincerely, "Thank you."

Tu Yan took the empty cup, his eyes fell on her red eyes, he pursed his lips slightly, and was silent for a moment, "How...did you die?"

His tone was heavy, but Zhuang Xiao's voice was surprisingly light and calm, "Heart disease."

Perhaps because he looked unhappy, Zhuang Xiao even smiled cheerfully, "I have congenital heart disease. The doctor thought it was a miracle that I could live to adulthood. Who would have thought that I could have a second life? This is all thanks to dear Mr. Tu~"

Zhuang Xiao was talking to himself, but Tu Yan looked a little strange. He hesitated for a long time and asked, "Are you an adult?"

Zhuang Xiao then noticed that Tu Yan had quietly taken a big step back at some point, and was looking at her with fear in his eyes.

I understand. It turns out that the law-abiding Mr. Tu is worried that he has seduced an underage girl.

Seeing that he looked like he was facing a formidable enemy, Zhuang Xiao wanted to tease him. He hummed for a long time without answering, and stretched out his hand to grab Tu Yan's hand holding the empty cup, "What do you think?"

Tu Yan suddenly retracted his hand, and the hand holding the glass almost loosened, "Speak properly!"

Zhuang Xiao couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Don't worry, Mr. Tu. I was already 24 when I died. I didn't trample on the law or moral bottom line. You can put your mind at ease."

Tu Yan realized that he had been fooled, and with a stern face, he stared at the heartless Zhuang Xiao, trying to "kill" her with his eyes.

Zhuang Xiao was almost laughing at his childish behavior. Knowing how much Tu Yan cared about her reputation and being afraid of upsetting her and making her disappear again, she simply buried her face in the pillow, trying to hide her smile.

Tu Yan looked at her trembling shoulders, his lips tightly taut, unwilling to fall behind, "Zhuang Xiao, the pillowcases and quilt covers in the apartment are changed every day, so you better give up on this idea."

Hearing this, Zhuang Xiao's suppressed smile stopped. After thinking for a moment, she realized that she had only buried her head in the pillow, but he actually suspected that she was greedy for his scent and wanted to indirectly touch his skin? !

She knew Tu Yan was narcissistic, but... wasn't this a bit too much?

Zhuang Xiao was choked by his speculation and hurriedly sat up to distance himself from the matter, "I'm not! I didn't!"
