Lin Xuan turned his head to look.
It was her!
"We grew up together. Let him go this time. If there’s a next time, you can deal with him as you please."
Li Siyi had appeared here.
"What do you think?"
Lin Xuan thought for a moment, then flashed a charming smile: "Since Miss Li has spoken, of course, I’ll give you face."
"Alright, thank you. You can leave now. I have something to say to him."
Li Siyi took the dishes directly from Lin Xuan’s hands and walked into the private room.
Lin Xuan pondered for a moment, then decided to abandon his plans for the day.
No matter what, it was Li Siyi who had saved him that day at the cliff. Otherwise, he would have jumped.
He had to give her face.
But...
There won’t be a next time, Su Luo.
Lin Xuan silently vowed in his heart, maintaining a calm expression as he left.
In the private room, Su Luo was chatting with his so-called friends: "It’s been a while since I treated you all. This meal’s on me. After eating, let’s see where to go next."
What should have been a cheerful scene suddenly fell silent. The others froze, as if they had seen something unbelievable.
"What’s wrong? Why are you all staring at me? Cheer up! I’ve ordered a lot of delicious food today."
"Yeah, cheer up," Li Siyi said with a cold smile.
Su Luo turned around in surprise: "Why are you here?"
"Can’t I come? Here’s your food."
"Of course not, you’re always welcome. I’m glad you’re here."
Su Luo instantly switched to his sycophant mode, adapting to the situation with flattery.
"Are you all full?" Li Siyi asked Su Luo’s friends with a smile.
Her smile seemed to lower the temperature in the room.
"We’re full, we’re full."
"I just remembered I have something to do. Excuse me, everyone."
"Wait, I also just remembered something. I’ll take my leave."
"Something came up. Let’s meet another day."
The once lively private room was now empty, leaving only Li Siyi and Su Luo.
"Siyi, why did you come?"
This isn’t right. Normally, it should have been Lin Xuan who kicked me. Why is it Li Siyi instead?
Su Luo felt like the plot was playing tricks on him.
"Eat."
Li Siyi didn’t say much, simply pointing at the dishes on the table.
"How did you know I was here? Were you worried about me?"
"I’ve always known. You must have me in your heart."
"You disappeared for a long time the other day. The Li family even sent everyone to look for you. I was so worried. Where did you go? Was there a reason?"
Su Luo rambled on, but Li Siyi remained silent, glancing at him.
Hmph, worried about me? You’ve been living it up these past two days. If it weren’t for the plot, you probably wouldn’t even care.
And you even disguised yourself as a woman to deceive me.
The thought made Li Siyi inexplicably angry.
If you had come out to save me directly, I wouldn’t be this angry. I might even thank you... maybe, probably.
Thinking about it, Li Siyi felt a bit guilty.
Because she realized that, given how she usually treated Su Luo, even if he had saved her, she might not have thanked him.
No, I would have.
But my attitude toward Su Luo...
Li Siyi’s thoughts became more tangled, more chaotic, but she couldn’t lash out here.
All her frustrations turned into motivation to eat voraciously.
Li Siyi devoured a chicken leg, glaring at Su Luo.
Her expression frightened Su Luo, who instinctively stood up and backed away.
She’s gone mad. Li Siyi’s gone mad. I didn’t do anything, and I was just showing her care and admiration.
Su Luo didn’t dare to speak for a moment.
After a while, Li Siyi finally calmed down, wiping her mouth and tidying her hair.
"It’s been a year since we last ate together."
"A year? I remember it’s been 398 days since we last ate together."
"You remember it so clearly."
"Of course, I wouldn’t forget anything about us."
Just kidding, I made that number up.
Who would remember how many days it’s been since we last ate together?
Li Siyi pouted, clearly not believing him.
"Tell me, what do you like about me?"
"I like everything about you."
"Be specific."
"I like all of you. It’s to the point where it has to be you."
Specific, my foot. Su Luo could easily make up a few compliments and praise her to the heavens.
But he was afraid he’d lose his appetite and feel nauseous.
So he continued to dodge the question, not giving a direct answer.
"Hmph."
Li Siyi left with just that one word.
Her entire behavior was utterly baffling.
Su Luo looked at the half-eaten dishes on the table and, not wanting to waste food, started eating.
As he ate, he wondered: Since Lin Xuan didn’t come to kick me today, does that mean the plot has deviated?
But the system hadn’t given any warnings, so it must be fine.
Still, is it really okay for the plot to keep deviating like this?
If at some point the plot collapses entirely and becomes completely messed up, will it still be possible to fix?
When an avalanche happens, no single snowflake is innocent.
If every event deviates too much, it could all snowball into a disaster.
Just as Su Luo was worrying, Lin Xuan swaggered in.
He sat down coolly across from Su Luo: "You’re lucky."
"What do you mean?"
"I’m giving Miss Li face. The matter of you sending people to teach me a lesson is over. But if there’s a next time, you’ll face the consequences."
Lin Xuan’s eyes gleamed with menace, his threat clear.
"No, no, don’t let it go. If there’s a grudge, settle it. Come on, kick me."
This caught Lin Xuan off guard. His fierce expression instantly faltered.
"Hurry up, stop dawdling."
This kind of request was something Lin Xuan had never encountered before.
Is this some kind of trap?
"If you have any tricks up your sleeve, you’d better give up. I’m not the same as I was a few days ago. I’ve reached the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation. That’s the gap between us. Your trump card might not work on me." Lin Xuan couldn’t help but suspect.
"I know you’re strong. Can you just hurry up and do it?"
"No, I promised Miss Li. This time, I’ll let it go. But this is the last time. Don’t provoke me again."
Lin Xuan was a man of his word.
The reason he came back was that the more he thought about it, the more he felt cheated. Since he couldn’t vent his anger, he at least wanted to show off a little.
Seeing Lin Xuan hesitate, Su Luo suddenly leapt up, crashing through the private room and landing on the street.
Huh?
What?
Wait, what?
Lin Xuan was utterly confused. I didn’t even touch him!
Wait, he suddenly realized the terrifying consequence—Li Siyi hadn’t gone far. If she saw this, how could he clear his name?
He had just promised Miss Li to let Su Luo go, and now Su Luo had flown out of the restaurant.
What would she think of him?
That he’s untrustworthy?
Petty?
Two-faced?
In an instant, Lin Xuan broke out in a cold sweat.
This is terrifying. What a cunning plan!
Lin Xuan instantly understood Su Luo’s scheme. It was both vicious and brutally effective.
Su Luo, however, hadn’t thought that far ahead. He just wanted to stick to the plot and avoid any more deviations.
Who would have thought that just by slacking off a little, Li Siyi would change so much? It’s really scary.
Give me a chance. Before, I wanted to slack off. Now, I want to take every plot point seriously.
Sure enough, Li Siyi turned around and saw Su Luo pretending to be unconscious on the ground.
Lin Xuan felt like he had no way to explain himself. Who else would dare to kick Su Luo out of the restaurant?
He couldn’t explain it publicly now. Who would believe him?
It would just make him look like the thief crying "stop thief."
Who would believe that Su Luo had jumped out on his own? Su Luo might be foolish, but he’s not insane.
Lin Xuan could only leave and try to explain later.
Li Siyi sighed softly and walked over to Su Luo.
She gently kicked him: "Idiot, hmph."
Li Siyi then picked Su Luo up, just as he had done for her before, but with their roles reversed.
For a moment, Su Luo wasn’t sure if he should pretend to wake up.
What’s Li Siyi doing? She usually doesn’t even want to be touched by me.
Along the way, Li Siyi didn’t say a word, and Su Luo continued to pretend to be unconscious, feigning ignorance.
When they reached a corner, Lin Xuan, who had been following them, stepped out to explain, hoping Li Siyi would believe him.
"It wasn’t me who kicked him down," Lin Xuan said as soon as he saw her.
"I know."
Lin Xuan wanted to explain further, but Li Siyi already believed him.
This left Lin Xuan even more confused.
Do people really trust each other so easily? Or is it just my charm?
Lin Xuan still couldn’t believe it: "Huh? You know? How do you know?"
"I know it wasn’t you. That’s all."
Li Siyi repeated, but she clearly had no intention of explaining further.
Lin Xuan stood there, utterly bewildered.
I haven't been in Autumn Wind City for long, but the people here all seem a bit strange.
Could it be that she’s just being polite to me, but deep down, she doesn’t actually believe me?
But judging by her demeanor, it doesn’t seem that way.
Ah, this is so complicated!
This has left Lin Xuan utterly confused.
Because of this, Lin Xuan feels that he can’t underestimate Su Luo—she doesn’t seem as simple as she appears on the surface.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
