Don't pretend, everyone knows you're the villain!

Even long after the cake was finished, Xie Sicen showed no sign of leaving.

She even helped out for a while. As Yin Zhaoshu was changing clothes to leave work, Xie Sichen turned around and asked her.

"Yin Zhaoshu, where do you live?"

Yin Zhaoshu looked at Xie Sicen and suggested, "Would you like to come to my house for a while? It's very close by."

The subsequent additions seemed to be in case Xie Sicen refused.

Xie Sicen tilted her head and smiled at Yin Zhaoshu, "It doesn't matter if it's far away. It's worth it no matter how far the place is."

Yin Zhaoshu deciphered Xie Sicen's words and concluded that Xie Sicen wanted to go to my house.

why?

Xie Sicen noticed that Yin Zhaoshu was staring at her without saying a word, and she was puzzled.

"Yin Zhaoshu, are you daydreaming?"

"Xie Sicen, do you want to understand me?"

The two spoke at the same time, and both were stunned by the question.

Xie Sicen was fine, but Yin Zhaoshu's face suddenly turned bright red, asking a question that was clearly presumptuous.

Xie Sicen didn't see anything wrong with what she heard and genuinely wanted to know.

"You even remember my preference for cake. It's only fair that I get to know you a little better in return."

"Um……"

Yin Zhaoshu cursed himself inwardly for thinking such a thing.

It's such an ordinary thing, but because Xie Sichen offered some comfort when he was heartbroken, he became so confused that he didn't even know who he was anymore?

Am I just someone who's fickle by nature?

Yin Zhaoshu took Xie Sicen back to the rented small house. Although the house was small, it was clean and tidy.

Small but complete.

Meanwhile, after 0561 contacted Lingyi, he and Lingyi fell silent as they watched the fluctuating blackening value and the slowly rising love value.

Xie Sichen's affection level increased with the time she spent with Yin Zhaoshu, even if not by much, it was definitely rising.

When Xie Sicen wasn't with Yin Zhaoshu, her "darkening" level became unstable. It was probably because Xie Sicen's presence distracted Yin Zhaoshu and made him think less about things.

0561 Now that the host has gone to the rented house with Yin Zhaoshu, it shouldn't be getting pixelated so soon, right?

"Boss, what should I do?"

"Let nature take its course." After seeing that Xie Sicen could influence Yin Zhaoshu's stats, Ling Yi was completely relieved.

The events most closely related to the "darkening value" are laid out clearly in advance, and the "darkening value" is also kept within a certain range.

Even though it's not low now, Xie Sicen's arrival has significantly boosted the positive momentum of things.

As long as Xie Sicen continues according to her own ideas without any unexpected changes, there shouldn't be any major problems. After all, the compatibility in another world is no joke; they were originally the most compatible beings.

0561 was a little confused when he heard the words "let nature take its course," and floated around blankly for a moment.

So what is the significance of its urgent call for reinforcements?

I don't really understand, and I can't figure it out.

You can always hit the target your superiors point to.

"Boss, am I going back now?"

"Okay, remember to remind the host about the existence of the store."

If Lingyi hadn't said anything, 0561 wouldn't have even bothered to remind Xie Sicen; it would have forgotten about it itself.

I don't have the habit of using stores.

Then, when I got back, I opened the store and found that it really had everything, even mechs could be exchanged for with points.

It's not easy to accumulate so many points, and it's not very reliable to buy a mech or other big-ticket items that are wiped out in a single purchase until the end of the small world.

Xie Sichen had a cup of tea at Yin Zhaoshu's place and then left. Before leaving, she told Yin Zhaoshu that she would bring him breakfast the next day, so that Yin Zhaoshu could look forward to it.

Back in her dorm, Xie Sicen washed up and lay in bed, listening to 0561 deliver what she called good news—basically, how important his existence was, and how he could now completely influence and help control Yin Zhaoshu's dark side. He also mentioned the existence of the shop.

Xie Sichen thought to herself that the dark side value was controllable and not related to the affection value. It was so difficult to raise this little bit of affection. How could she win Yin Zhaoshu's heart?

To attract attention and make people look at him more.

But just looking at him isn't enough.

We need to do something eye-catching.

He can't exactly use a peacock's tail to attract the other party, can he? His greatest strength lies in his agile and skilled fighting abilities.

Even when I fought in front of Yin Zhaoshu, I didn't see him fall madly in love with me.

Surely I won't be labeled a bad person.

The next morning, Xie Sichen bought Yin Zhaoshu's favorite breakfast and went to the door, which she knew well.

Yin Zhaoshu was surprised that the other party knew the way so well, and even more surprised that the breakfast the other party bought suited his taste.

Then she remembered Xie Sicen's idea of ​​reciprocity, and her little spark of anger was extinguished by Yin Zhaoshu.

Xie Sichen treated him as a friend, so what was wrong with him thinking?

Without Qi Zhiyu, even his friends would try to plot against him?

Later, Xie Sicen made it a habit to bring breakfast to Yin Zhaoshu. They would usually eat lunch together, and for dinner, it depended on whether they could find a time that worked out.

During class time, everyone attends their own classes, except for the mecha class where they sit together.

Yin Zhaoshu and Xie Sicen's close relationship was no secret at school, to the point that even the alphas who used to cause trouble for Yin Zhaoshu were no longer around. Many people speculated about their relationship, but as the news spread, it became clear that they were indeed just friends.

Is this how friendships between alphas and betas are kept from being understood by others?

Their closeness can lead to misunderstandings.

Seeing the love points Yin Zhaoshu gave her so meagerly, only occasionally fluctuating slightly before being nipped in the bud, Xie Sichen felt frustrated, unsure of what she had done to displease Yin Zhaoshu.

Rumors circulated that he had stopped visiting his friends.

Xie Sichen admired Qi Zhiyu's tight-lipped nature; he didn't even reveal that he had personally admitted to liking her.

Xie Sicen launched a frantic offensive, eager to seize territory and capture Yin Zhaoshu as soon as possible.

The effects are becoming increasingly apparent.

So one day, Ruan Xihe earnestly told Xie Sicen to watch her words and actions, that even a good-looking beta shouldn't interfere in other people's relationships.

Xie Sicen belatedly scratched her head and asked, "Sister Xihe, was I being too obvious?"

Ruan Xihe couldn't bear to watch. Xie Sicen's gaze kept drifting towards Yin Zhaoshu whenever she came to eat cake. The problem was that Yin Zhaoshu was also always taking the time to look at Xie Sicen.

“Very obvious.”

Xie Sicen was completely baffled; she couldn't figure out where things had gone wrong.

"That shouldn't be the case. Why is it so hard for two single people like us to make any progress?"

"Wait, what are you two doing?" Ruan Xihe looked surprised and couldn't quite react.

Xie Sicen then offered a calm explanation.

"Oh, Yin Zhaoshu's omega boyfriend has been marked by another alpha. He's single now, and I've always been single, so it's no problem for me to pursue him."

"You're pursuing Xiao Yin?" Ruan Xihe sensed that something was amiss.

Xie Sichen felt somewhat frustrated because she didn't receive any love points in return from Yin Zhaoshu.

"Yes, Sister Xihe, you said my behavior was particularly obvious. Is it because I don't have pheromones that I don't have the ticket to become a partner?"

"Love can overcome all difficulties, Sichen, I will always support you! Most importantly, I think Xiaoyin is also very special to you, so there will definitely be no problem. If you win over Xiaoyin, you will be the pride of our beta."

Ruan Xihe encouraged Xie Sicen and even asked Yin Zhaoshu to leave work early to create a date for them.

However, the two didn't know what to do, so Xie Sichen suggested that they have a drink together.

Yin Zhaoshu said she didn't like the noisy environment and mixed pheromones in bars.

Xie Sicen initially thought this was a rejection, but then she heard Yin Zhaoshu say that he would buy wine and drink it at his house.

Xie Sichen thought it was a good opportunity to buy more and take advantage of Yin Zhaoshu's drunkenness to do something or ask him something.

Even the worst case scenario is that I can stay overnight.
