Xu Mo noticed Liu Yong's gaze.
Liu Yong, who had been enjoying the drama, was left dumbfounded.
These goddesses were not invited by him.
Even if he had sent out invitations,
they might not have obliged.
While Liu Yong was still lost in his thoughts,
Xu Mo suddenly felt a jolt!
He instantly sensed three malicious gazes directed at him.
They were from Zhou Qiaoqiao, Yang Jingying, and Shen Manni.
What was said casually was taken to heart by the listeners.
It was all because Xu Shi had mentioned that Xu Mo had been staying out at night.
"Darling, when did you move out? Why didn't you tell me?" Zhou Qiaoqiao asked with a smile.
Yang Jingying glanced at Xu Mo and dropped a bombshell, "If you don't want to stay at home, you can come to my place, or we can stay out together."
Shen Manni looked at Xu Mo, then at the other girls.
She swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Facing Xu Mo now,
she didn't know what to say.
"Wow! Xu Mo is amazing. The rumor about the Yang family's heiress proposing to him is true."
"Ugh... why does Xu Mo seem so uncomfortable? I'll take it if he doesn't want it."
"Bro, hurry up and wash up. It's almost dawn."
Whispers from the onlookers could be heard around them.
The boys couldn't help but drool with envy.
Xu Shi seized the moment to add fuel to the fire, smiling as she said, "There are many reasons why Xu Mo moved out, like making it easier to communicate and interact with other girls..."
Xu Mo had been staying out these past few days,
which had infuriated Xu Shi.
Xu Shi had planned to use the time when Xu Mo returned home from work in the evenings
to deepen their relationship.
But suddenly, poof!
He was gone.
And during these days,
she had to help Song Ligang completely resolve some lingering issues,
leaving her no time to look for Xu Mo.
The atmosphere froze.
Xu Mo took a deep breath.
Ugh...
[Captain Xu, are you trying to frame me?]
[Wait, no, I'm also surnamed Xu. Captain Shi, are you trying to frame me again?]
[Don't you have any idea why I'm not coming home?]
[I hope the protagonist steps up and takes my sister away soon.]
[By the way, what's next in the plot? Why are so many female leads gathered here? Are they here to visit the set?]
"Ding, congratulations to the host for gaining +1 personal charm."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for breaking through a certain threshold in appearance!"
"Acquired the title 'Walking 24k Titanium Alloy Pretty Boy'."
"Effect 1: When wearing this title, it subconsciously increases others' favorability towards you. The closer the relationship, the stronger the effect."
"Effect 2: For those with a preference for good looks, the favorability boost is multiplied exponentially."
"Do you wish to equip this title?"
Xu Mo was stunned.
What kind of title is this?
Is this title even serious?
These past few days, the system had either been playing dead,
mute, or acting dumb.
The last time he asked a question, it kept dinging non-stop.
If it weren't for his quick thinking,
deciphering what the system was trying to say,
he still wouldn't know how to navigate this messed-up plot.
"Hello? Dog system??? Say something..."
"What's with this title?"
"I'm a villain. Is it appropriate to give me a protagonist-style title?"
Xu Mo tried to communicate with the system in his mind,
but got no response.
So he decided to study the title on his own.
Xu Mo didn't rush to equip it immediately.
He had a feeling there was something off about this title.
At the same time,
because Xu Mo's inner thoughts had exposed Xu Shi,
the three gazes that had been focused on him
shifted to Xu Shi in unison.
Xu Shi: Meow meow?????
This backfired.
She had lifted a stone only to drop it on her own foot.
Recalling the scene of their first kiss,
Xu Shi's face turned slightly red, and she coughed lightly.
"I think I can explain."
Xu Mo was confused. Weren't they just talking about me?
I haven't even said anything yet.
Why are you trying to explain?
Zhou Qiaoqiao's eyebrows arched slightly as she pulled Xu Shi to an empty corner.
Xu Shi didn't resist.
She let the big witch lead her away.
And so, the two witches, one big and one small,
temporarily left the scene.
Xu Mo finally got a moment of peace.
Childhood sweethearts weren't that scary.
What was truly terrifying were the big witch and the little witch.
If these two witches ever joined forces,
Xu Mo would be done for.
Just imagining it
was too horrifying.
So Xu Mo decided not to think about it anymore.
Besides, she was his own sister.
And the female lead.
What was there to think about?
What was there to fantasize about?
On the other side,
Zhou Qiaoqiao let go of Xu Shi's soft, boneless hand.
She raised an eyebrow.
"Xu Shi, what's going on?"
"What did you do to your brother?"
Xu Mo's inner thoughts were vague,
but they made people instinctively think in that direction.
The system had automatically filtered out most of the thoughts unrelated to the plot.
Otherwise, Zhou Qiaoqiao wouldn't have needed to ask.
Xu Shi's body stiffened.
Her brain worked at lightning speed.
Since you all already know, I might as well stop pretending.
That's right, I'm the infamous brother-con!
(ノ｀Д)ノ
We're not blood-related,
so it doesn't count.
That's right, I'm coming clean. I like Xu Mo too.
Surprised? Shocked? Didn't see that coming, did you?
If she said that,
it would only shock Zhou Qiaoqiao for a moment.
It wouldn't do Xu Shi any good in winning Xu Mo over.
Instead, it would only make Zhou Qiaoqiao more guarded.
Not worth it.
Only a fool would say that.
In less than a minute,
Xu Shi had already come up with a plan.
"Hey, don't be shy o(*////▽////*)q"
"Qiaoqiao, you don't believe my brother's nonsense, do you?"
Zhou Qiaoqiao's face was serious as she nodded, "I do. I really do."
Xu Shi's eyelids twitched, and she quickly changed her approach.
"Here's what happened. My brother had a little argument with our parents these past few days. Plus, he felt like he didn't need to keep up the act of being Shen Manni's lapdog anymore."
"So he decided to take a couple of days off to relax."
Xu Shi knew Zhou Qiaoqiao's temper and personality inside out.
She brought up Xu Fuqiang and Su Ting to make her story more convincing.
To add even more credibility,
she even threw Shen Manni into the mix.
Zhou Qiaoqiao was completely taken in.
But she still had some doubts.
Just as she was about to ask more questions,
Xu Shi took her hand this time.
"Qiaoqiao, we've been out here too long."
"Are you really okay with leaving my brother alone with Jingying?"
"In my eyes, you're the future sister-in-law I've chosen. Even though I've known Jingying longer, I still think you and my brother are a better match."
Xu Shi was pulling out all the stops to dispel Zhou Qiaoqiao's suspicions.
Ahhhh...
As long as she could hold out for a bit longer,
and cook the rice before it was ready,
all you women can cry your hearts out later.
saw a female celebrity tied up and stuffed in the trunk! Little did he know, countless cameras were aimed at him at this moment - this was a new type of reality show. The first randomly selected passerby was caught in less than an hour. But when Xu Moru was selected, things started to take an unexpected turn. "Damn, this isn't how the script goes.
