Chapter 115 Being Soft-Hearted is a Virtue

“Sure.” Jiang Luo said without any hesitation, taking a step closer to He Ziyan.

As the distance suddenly shortened, He Ziyan's heart skipped a beat.

His gaze was fixed entirely on her face, not missing a single detail, and He Ziyan's lips curled up.

Luo Luo is so cute, even though she's clearly angry, she still tries her best to keep up appearances.

Sensing the intense gaze from the side, Jiang Luo ignored it and continued to face the girl taking pictures, striking a professional smile and pose.

"Alright! Thank you both."

When the girl called out, He Ziyan's gaze hadn't even left Jiang Luo.

He slowly uttered a question mark.

Huh? It's already filmed? He hasn't even looked at the camera yet.

He couldn't help but think to himself: I can see that now he's completely become Luo Luo's accessory. But... being Luo Luo's accessory isn't so bad.

The girl stepped forward, suddenly bowed, and said, "Please, you two really have to date!"

Jiang Luo's lips trembled slightly.

He Ziyan beamed with joy and replied earnestly, "I will try my best!"

Jiang Luo: ...

He Ziyan surely understood the implications of saying such things in front of everyone.

Jiang Luo was certain that the girl would upload the photo and He Ziyan's words to the internet as soon as she turned around.

Then it was reposted and spread like wildfire.

The attention of netizens will become an inseparable form of oversight, watching his every word and action.

He can't flirt with other girls.

He can't treat her badly.

Otherwise, they will be subjected to verbal and written criticism and abuse.

But he still said it.

This is a disguised promise, making his one-sided affection public and seeking scrutiny.

Then, a wave of heat swept through, and everyone exclaimed, "Wow!"

Suppressing the urge to look at him, Jiang Luo remained facing everyone, maintaining a friendly smile.

The vines that had been binding her heart began to loosen, and she thought, perhaps, He Ziyan was just her Yan Zihe.

"My turn, my turn..." The next passerby stepped forward.

From 11:40 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Jiang Luo and He Ziyan stood there like two stone lions at the entrance of the scenic spot, allowing tourists to stand between them for photos.

Finally, Shi Yan couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward to end this unexpected event.

She organized everyone to take a group photo, and He Ziyan instructed the store manager to print it out and distribute it to everyone on the spot.

After saying goodbye to everyone, the trio left first.

As they stepped onto the escalator, Shi Yan led the way, followed by He Ziyan and Jiang Luo. Shi Yan whispered, "Luo Luo, you... you should really put on some dignity in the future. You've wasted two hours of work. Not only is it a waste of time, but it'll also get posted online. Was it like this before?"

“In the past… it was rare for Brother Lin to tell me what to do and what not to do.”

"Then you should know..." Shi Yan didn't want to be too direct, but couldn't think of a more tactful way to put it, "This falls into the category of things you shouldn't do, right?"

Jiang Luo pursed her lips and continued, "The first person to come up was a girl, do you remember?"

"I remember her; she was very fair-skinned, wore black-rimmed glasses, and was quite pretty."

“Yes. She said she’d seen all the dramas and movies I’ve acted in, and she’s a big fan of my career. She hoped I could bring more great performances. How could I refuse?” Jiang Luo nodded. “Then, a second person came along, looking at me expectantly. I thought to myself, I’ve already acted for the first person, how can I refuse the second one? Then, the third person, the fourth person, it was the same…”

"Luo Luo, there's something I'm not sure if I should say," Shi Yan frowned, and without waiting for Jiang Luo's response, she bluntly said, "You're too soft-hearted."

A voice drifted over from the side: "Being soft-hearted is a good virtue; you should keep it."

Shi Yan: ...

Jiang Luo: ...

He glanced at her a few times and saw that she had returned to her previous indifferent expression. He felt a chill and tentatively asked a different question first: "Aren't you afraid of trending on social media?" His tone was ingratiating.

Jiang Luo ignored his mood and responded with a nonchalant "Mm".

Since Luo Luo wasn't afraid of trending on social media, it meant she wasn't opposed to connecting with him. He Ziyan sensed an opportunity and added a playful remark: "Sorry for riding on your coattails."

Without answering, Jiang Luo merely gave him a cold glance.

He Ziyan lowered her eyelids, looking both obedient and aggrieved, "I can explain anything."

"Mr. He, do you have any products that allow people's consciousness to connect with game characters?" Jiang Luo couldn't help but ask, glancing at him sideways with a sharp, piercing gaze that sent chills down one's spine.

This question brought the issue to the forefront. He Ziyan was worried that ambiguous wording would deepen the misunderstanding, so he considered it for a moment.

Seeing that He Ziyan did not answer, Shi Yanzui, who was standing one step in front, quickly answered for him, "Brain Cloud, YB Company announced the Brain Cloud project before, but it seems that there is no news for the time being."

He Ziyan: ...I can answer it myself.

Jiang Luo gave He Ziyan a deep look, and this time she asked Shi Yan directly, "What is a brain cloud?"

He Ziyan interrupted, "Brain Cloud is about transmitting human consciousness to the network and sharing it in the cloud."

Shi Yan: "Yes, yes, that's it! When I first saw this news, I was shocked. I didn't expect technology to have developed to this extent."

He Ziyan cautioned, "It hasn't been successful yet."

"Oh, but it's impressive that you even have this idea." As she spoke, Shi Yan noticed that Jiang Luo's face was getting worse and worse, so dark it looked like ink could drip from it. She immediately fell silent and turned away in a panic.

Luo Luo is about to explode again.

As long as she doesn't speak, she can pretend she doesn't exist.

Zheng Man once said that He Ziyan had dated a robot in order to test its companionship mode.

So... was she his test subject? To test that brain cloud thing?

The more he thought about it, the more embarrassed he became.

This possibility is too mocking, and if so, she might lose her temper and hurl insults.

"Luo Luo." He Ziyan called softly, lowering his voice and posture, his obsidian-like eyes fixed on her, their clear light reflecting only her figure. "Luo Luo?"

His sensitive, low voice, coupled with his innocent, puppy-like face, made him seem even more pitiful.

Jiang Luo's heart softened for a moment, but she ultimately rationally set aside her sympathy and asked in a cold voice, "Does President He personally test all the products?"

"That was an accident," He Ziyan said urgently.

Jiang Luo chuckled.

Shi Yan, who was in front, was completely bewildered.

What are they saying? I think I understand, but I also think I don't.

Ugh, my head hurts so much.

The escalator leads to the basement level.

Under the automatic door, people are going in and out.

Handsome men and beautiful women attract the attention of passersby.

This is clearly not a suitable place to have a conversation.

He Ziyan only said hastily, "I'll tell you after I get in the car."

Jiang Luo didn't respond, but instead scurried forward with her head down, adopting a race-walking stance.

He Ziyan followed closely behind.

As he approached the car, he took a step back and said to Shi Yan, "Go up and take those two VR glasses down. I want to talk to Luo Luo alone for a while."

"Then I'll wait for you here. The VR glasses will be..." Shi Yan hesitated.

Jiang Luo was already jealous about her receiving gifts. If she were to bring the gifts back herself, wouldn't that be provoking her and testing her limits?
