After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Not everyone is like her, enjoying a blissful life surrounded by admirers.

Perhaps because she has too much, she sometimes not only lacks empathy for others, but also appears exceptionally cold-blooded.

Last night, Aunt Ye revealed something: when she first came to the Lu family as a cook, she made Lu Sijian eat leftovers a few times because she didn't think things through when arranging dinner.

Lu Sijian didn't say anything on the surface, but secretly complained to Lu Ting, demanding that Sister Ye be dismissed.

Lou Xiao vaguely remembered that Lu Lingbo did miss one day of school that year, supposedly because of a cook, and had a big argument with his father.

Mrs. Ye came from a poor background; her daughter suffered from congenital heart disease, and her husband was an alcoholic and abusive. This job was the only lifeline she could grasp.

But Lu Sijian's casual remark almost crushed all her hopes.

Lu Sijian was only nine years old at the time.

Although he guessed that she wasn't truly gentle and harmless, he still felt vaguely uncomfortable upon hearing this.

Lou Xiao forced himself not to overthink it. "Ah Jian, I want to do more good deeds in the future to accumulate merit for you, so that you can have a peaceful and prosperous life in the future."

Lu Sijian was silent for a moment, then said, "Thank you."

She looked up at him earnestly and said, "Thank you for everything you've done for me."

Lou Xiao was displeased by her sincere thanks, saying, "Ah Jian, it's only right that I do anything for you."

Lu Sijian smiled and said, "Then I'll write down what you just said so I can refer to it from time to time."

[Oh, and I also need to post it on WeChat Moments to show it off; that's sure to get some fish to bite.]

Lou Xiao frowned. Was his sincerity just a tool she used to show off?

Lou Xiao's phone rang. It was getting late, and he really should leave.

"Brother Xiao, come back soon." Lu Sijian said goodbye to him.

Lou Xiao paused, then suddenly turned and asked, "Ah Jian, is there anything you want to say to me?"

The day after tomorrow is the day when Dr. Xie will have his accident. If Lu Sijian wants to do something, there is still time.

Lu Sijian: "I think you've been getting into trouble with some backstabbers lately, so you'd better be careful about the friends around you."

[This is just a kind little reminder, consider it a reward for your well-behaved behavior.]

For some reason, Lou Xiao suddenly felt a deep sense of disappointment.

He ignored Lu Sijian's words and left without looking back.

Lu Sijian stood in the corridor, watching him leave.

In the novel, after watching the video that Shen Baolin showed him, Lou Xiao did not choose to confront the original owner of the body directly, but instead chose to run away.

Gradually, the phone calls became less frequent, and text messages were no longer answered.

A sudden and drastic shift in the use of passive-aggressive tactics.

Feeling neglected, the original owner of this body naturally felt insecure and frequently inquired about his return date.

The return date was repeatedly postponed, and what was originally a two-week business trip turned into a month.

After Lou Xiao finished his business trip, he didn't immediately tell the original owner of the body, but instead went to a bar alone for a drink.

By sheer coincidence, they stumbled upon Mu Liangyue being harassed by thugs.

He chased away the thugs and found that Mu Liangyue had nowhere to go. Out of a sense of compensation, he took her in and let her stay in his house.

Mu Liangyue was unaware of the conflict between the two. The next day, she encountered the original owner of the body and mentioned Lou Xiao's late-night return.

The original owner therefore suspected that Lou Xiao was cheating on her, since even she, his official fiancée, did not know his schedule, but Mu Liangyue knew it before she did.

Lou Xiao, however, was completely unaware of this, because living under the same roof as Mu Liangyue actually brought him closer to her.

Even some of Lou Xiao's childhood friends began to openly slander the original owner, saying that she was not good enough for Lou Xiao.

This made the original owner even more dissatisfied and jealous, and she became even more frantic in framing Mu Liangyue.

In the end, he gradually walked down a dead end.

The system suddenly spoke up: "Actually, if you did better than Mu Liangyue, Lou Xiao would still be on your side."

Lu Sijian sighed: "What nonsense are you talking about? Have you forgotten the original owner's dark history? Besides, I'm not a good person either."

"Luckily it's you. If this were a female protagonist system that made me a perfect saint every day, I would definitely go crazy."

system:【……】

It was really overthinking things, believing that Lou Xiao's heartfelt confession would move her.

"Tongzi, are you worried that Lou Xiao's favorability rating will rise again?" Lu Sijian asked.

The male lead was only temporarily deceived; how could he possibly be truly won over by the vicious female supporting character?

[Once the favorability rating reaches 100%, it will be locked, and your mission will have completely failed.] The system had to remind you.

"It won't be 100%." ​​Lu Sijian thought for a moment, not understanding where her confidence came from.

"Probably because I'm not the original body." She quickly found the reason.

[Please work hard to complete the task and expedite its progress.]

Lu Sijian: "Don't worry, after today, Lu Lingbai's favorability will be almost zero, and Lou Xiao will soon discover my two-faced nature."

"He has always been arrogant and conceited. Once he discovers that I am not as kind as he imagines, his goodwill towards me will collapse."

The system had nothing to say and went offline briefly.

Lu Sijian looked at her reflection in the wall, her heart completely unmoved.

If Lou Xiao were truly so deeply in love, he wouldn't have condemned the original owner of the body without even asking her a question.

He said he vowed to do good deeds for the sake of the original owner, but he distanced himself from her because she was not kind enough.

Lu Sijian believed that his wish when he knelt before the Buddha was absolutely sincere.

But true feelings are as fragile as a cicada's wing; a gentle tug and the bond is broken.

"What are you thinking about, senior? You seem so lost in thought." A voice suddenly rang out.

Lu Sijian was startled and turned around to meet a pair of captivating peach blossom eyes.

"Why haven't you left yet?" she asked instinctively.

Sheng Yunchao: "I heard from the second young master that the view on the second floor of the Lu family is particularly good, so I took the liberty of coming up to see it."

“Jian, we just came up and saw you standing here in a daze, so Young Master Sheng wanted to say hello to you.”

Lu Lingbai felt that his sister's words were impolite, so he quickly explained.

Lu Sijian calmed down and realized that she had been so engrossed in her thoughts that she hadn't heard the elevator.

"Then Mr. Sheng, go and enjoy the scenery. Goodbye." She waved casually.

Lu Lingbai raised his hand to lead the way, "Young Master Sheng, this way please."

Lu Sijian turned and walked towards the stairs, complaining as she went.

[That idiot Lu Lingbai let people into his house so quickly; he has absolutely no sense of caution.]

[And Lou Xiao just left like that, without even making an excuse to take Sheng Yunchao with him? Wasn't he always so afraid of Sheng Yunchao contacting me?]

[They're being way too trusting of me. If Sheng Yunchao keeps hanging around me, I might just end up cheating on Lou Xiao.]

The electric wheelchair came to a sudden stop.

Lu Lingbo stiffened, struggling to suppress the urge to turn around and look.

Sheng Yunchao asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Lu Lingbai coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, "It's nothing."

Thankfully, Sheng Yunchao didn't hear such explosive and outrageous words.

He was really worried. Was his sister just thinking about it, or did she really have this plan?

-

Lu Sijian went straight downstairs.

Kong Can was somewhat surprised to see her and quickly stood up, "Miss."

He thought Lu Sijian was deliberately avoiding him and wouldn't come downstairs.

After all, he can play the villain, and as long as Lu Sijian doesn't show up, she can still be a pure and innocent young lady.
