You're pretty awesome

"What do you mean?" Su Yang asked, a bit bewildered.

"Sigh," Zhuang Mengli sighed and said, "Xiaotang was asked out to dinner by your good bro."

"What? Old Meng?"

"Yeah, as soon as she got the call, she eagerly trotted off without even thinking to invite me! Hmph! I'm so mad!"

"Damn, then I should still come over. I'll help you bring your luggage over, and then we can get something to eat."

"A candlelit dinner, is it?" Zhuang Mengli laughed.

"Haha, if you want, sure."

"Forget it. Knowing her, she probably won't be coming back tonight."

"Not coming back? How do you know?"

Zhuang Mengli said flatly, "She told me before she left. Actually, to tell you the truth, when you asked us to come stay at your place, she didn't really want to. You should know the reason, right?"

Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "You mean she wanted to be with Old Meng from the very beginning?"

"Exactly. I know her little schemes all too well. Before she left, she told me there was a high chance she wouldn't be back tonight, so you don't need to come over either."

"Holy crap? Isn't she a naive, innocent girl? How come she sounds like a seasoned player when you talk about her?"

"She's only like that with people or things she isn't interested in. If she meets someone she likes, she instantly evolves!"

"Damn? I couldn't tell!"

"Alright, let's just ignore her then. But aren't you still over there? Even if she isn't coming back, I still need to bring your luggage over, and then we can have dinner tonight."

"Actually..." Zhuang Mengli paused for a couple of seconds before continuing, "What I mean is, don't come over here. I'll come to you."

"Huh?" Su Yang was taken aback.

"Where are you going?"

"To your place!! Are you stupid? During the day when Xiaotang asked me, I said I'd stay at your place. But in the afternoon you told us to stay at your other house. I figured it would be fine if I was with Xiaotang, but that damn girl abandoned me, so I don't want to live here alone."

Hearing Zhuang Mengli's explanation, Su Yang smiled helplessly, "Alright then, come over by yourself. I'm taking a dump right now, so I won't go pick you up."

"Gross!"

"What's gross about it? It's human nature. Don't you take dumps?"

"Ugh, you're so annoying. Stop talking, I'm hanging up!"

Beep—

The call disconnected. Su Yang smiled and continued scrolling through TikTok while sitting on the toilet.

"Damn it, all that work for nothing."

Ten minutes later, Su Yang finished up in the bathroom, turned on the coffee machine, and then walked over to lie down on the sofa.

He crossed his legs and held his phone with both hands, watching girls twerk.

"Oh? This one isn't bad. She should be an 80 out of 100."

[65]

—What the hell? Only 65?

[Yes]

—But with the help of beauty filters and makeup, she still looks pretty good.

After Su Yang idly watched live streams for a while, his phone rang again.

"Hello."

"I'm at the door, open up," Zhuang Mengli shouted from outside the villa.

"That was fast."

"It's not that far. Hurry up."

"Okay."

Su Yang hung up the phone and used the smart home app to remotely open the courtyard and villa doors.

Zhuang Mengli walked in briskly.

As soon as she entered the house, she made a beeline for the bathroom.

Su Yang tilted his head and called out, "What are you doing?"

"Taking a dump!"

"Holy crap? I thought fairies like you didn't poop!"

"Go to hell!"

Bang.

The bathroom door slammed shut.

Su Yang shook his head, got up, and walked behind the bar counter to get to work.

Over ten minutes later, Zhuang Mengli finished using the toilet and came out.

Su Yang sat on the sofa and waved, "Come, drink some coffee."

"Quite the attentive service."

"Of course."

Zhuang Mengli walked over to Su Yang with a smile and plopped down next to him. She picked up the coffee from the coffee table, took a big gulp, and leaned back on the sofa in complete satisfaction. "It's still more comfortable here at your place!"

"My other place isn't bad either. It has a coffee machine and everything you could need."

"It does, but I'm all alone over there. It's bound to be a bit boring."

"Alright then. If you want to stay here, stay here. But..."

"But what?"

"When you go to sleep tonight, you'd better lock your door." Su Yang looked at Zhuang Mengli with a deliberate, wicked smile.

"Tch, no need to lock it," Zhuang Mengli said nonchalantly. "I'll just sleep in your room, problem solved."

"Whoa, damn? Have you... completely let yourself loose?"

"We've already had a first time, why would I be afraid of a second? Besides, don't we have a childhood betrothal? I'm basically your fiancee. You can do whatever you want, no need to beat around the bush."

"..."

Hearing this, Su Yang was stunned on the spot.

He stared motionless at Zhuang Mengli, who was sipping her coffee as if nothing had happened.

Her bold personality completely caught him off guard and left him at a loss for what to do.

Two seconds later, Su Yang came back to his senses. "You're pretty badass."

Zhuang Mengli rested her legs on the coffee table, bouncing them slightly. She didn't respond to Su Yang's comment, but instead asked, "That Panpan is your girlfriend, right? You guys probably haven't made it official publicly, but your friends definitely all know."

"And how did you figure that out?"

"It's obvious. Anyone with eyes could tell. But that's not important. Let me ask you a question."

"Who do you think is prettier, me or her?" Zhuang Mengli tilted her head, blinking her big, watery eyes at Su Yang.

Su Yang stared at Zhuang Mengli for two seconds. "If we're just talking about looks, you're prettier."

"Oh? At least you're not biased."

"I call it like I see it. In terms of looks, you're slightly higher, but..."

"But you like her more?" Zhuang Mengli leaned in close to Su Yang and quickly interrupted.

Su Yang's eyelid twitched as he thought to himself, 'Damn it, this girl is playing at a high level. Why do I feel so passive when I'm with her?'

Before Su Yang could speak, Zhuang Mengli turned her head and smiled sweetly. "You don't need to answer. It doesn't matter to me anyway. After all, we've only known each other for a short time, so it's normal that you like someone else more. But I'll slowly conquer you."

"What do you mean by that?" Su Yang narrowed his eyes.

"My meaning is obvious. I've already fallen for you, and as long as you're not married, I'm going to pursue you openly and make you fall for me too!" Zhuang Mengli said very directly.

Hearing this, Su Yang's brain short-circuited for a moment. This was indeed the first time he had met such a direct girl.

In his eyes, his ex-girlfriend was direct enough, but compared to Zhuang Mengli, she was just an elementary schooler.

However, Zhuang Mengli saying she liked him wasn't a lie either. After all, the system's favorability score wouldn't deceive him.

Currently, her favorability had already reached a high of 90, only 10 points away from a perfect score.

Of course, Su Yang's favorability toward Zhuang Mengli wasn't low either. After all, her looks and figure were right there in front of him, and she fit his aesthetic perfectly in every aspect. Saying he felt nothing would be a lie.

The difference between a player and a devoted man lies entirely in their attitude toward women. When faced with a beautiful woman, both will naturally be drawn to her. There isn't a single straight man alive who doesn't like beautiful women, especially those with great figures.

Opposites attract; it is a law of nature. However, when spending time with a pretty girl, the devoted man can usually keep his behavior in check and try his best not to cross the line. The player, on the other hand, cannot. Not only can he not control himself, but he will also actively go on the offensive...

Looking at the dazed Su Yang, Zhuang Mengli tilted her head and smiled. "Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Well, didn't you say you didn't like me back in Modu?" Su Yang asked deliberately.

"Did I say that?" Zhuang Mengli thought for a moment before continuing, "Oh, whatever. Even if I did say it, so what? That was then, and this is now. People change, you know."

"But didn't you change a little too fast?"

"None of your business, I do what I want."

"Alright, alright. By the way, about that childhood engagement you just mentioned... didn't your grandpa say it doesn't count anymore?"

Zhuang Mengli nodded. "That is what my grandpa said before, but he also said it depends on the wishes of us young people."

"I am more than willing right now, so it all depends on you. Whenever you are ready, we can fulfill our marriage contract."
