Chapter 11
Little lark, go and show off your beauty!
"Alright, then let's pretend you didn't mean to get my attention. These past few days, the wound has been open, so try to avoid getting it wet or using shower gel, as it might bruise..." Mi Rui'an lowered her eyelids slightly and glanced at Wei Jiangxue's wound. She wanted to tell the other party not to be frightened when she saw the injury, because the impact just now would most likely make the wound turn purplish-blue and it would take some time to heal.
As a result, she almost forgot that Wei Jiangxue was blind, so there was no need to say the words of advice that were already on her lips.
"I really didn't want your attention." Wei Jiangxue was full of resentment. She had come to steal Mi Rui'an's clothes, so why would she want to make herself more noticeable in the other person's eyes? It would be best to be as invisible as possible.
"Okay, it seems you've calmed down. Let's talk now. I can overlook your past and present acts of stealing my clothes, but you have to tell me why. Let me make it clear beforehand that my clothes are worth much more than you think. If you don't tell the truth, I'll submit the surveillance footage to the police, and then it will be too late for you to tell me."
Mi Rui'an's threats, it must be said, hit Wei Jiangxue's weak spot.
Does she not know the consequences of being caught by the police? If she's detained for a few days, her mission will definitely be affected.
It would be best if things could be resolved peacefully now. Of course, Wei Jiangxue would have to think carefully about this reason.
Her butterfly-like eyelashes trembled slightly, and her face, still wet with tears, made her look even more pitiful.
"I... I'm a streamer on Xinghe, and my clothes are so awful that I get laughed at. I figured you smell really nice, so you must be someone who values quality of life. Even if you're on a tight budget and can only afford to rent this kind of cheap apartment with me, you probably have a knack for fashion..."
It's true that Wei Jiangxue is a live streamer on the Xinghe platform, and it's also true that her rose-scented pheromones smell very good, but her claim that Mi Rui'an has good taste is just a casual lie.
Nonsense, she can't see anything, she can only feel the fabric of Mi Rui'an's clothes. It feels nice to the touch, but how can she see how well it looks when she puts her clothes together?
Of course, the Omega heiress of the Mi family would have someone specifically help design her clothes and coordinate her outfits. But a mere working-class Beta renting in a low-rent housing area wouldn't receive such treatment.
So you came here looking for clothes you could wear?
Mi Rui'an finished the rest of the sentence for her.
Wei Jiangxue waited anxiously for Mi Rui'an's trial, unsure whether he believed her or not.
The reason is a bit far-fetched, but she is a vain Alpha, and Mi Rui'an must be able to see that!
But as long as Wei Jiangxue doesn't reveal her livestream ID, Mi Rui'an would never guess that her public persona is actually that of a poor, resilient, and innocent girl, and that she doesn't need to wear Mi Rui'an's high-quality, obviously expensive clothes.
The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. After a long while, Wei Jiangxue heard Mi Rui'an chuckle a few times: "So I have a live streamer roommate. Why didn't you say so earlier? If you just wanted to borrow clothes, you could have told me in advance."
Something's not right!
Wei Jiangxue felt a chill run down her spine. Why was Mi Rui'an so easy to talk to? Even if she really believed him, it wouldn't be this bad, would it?
As expected, Mi Rui'an had more to say.
"I have a condition: you have to help me out too."
"What kind of help?" Wei Jiangxue asked warily.
“Our company is currently developing an intelligent robot designed specifically for visually impaired people. If it’s convenient for you, you can come to our company as a tester to see how well it performs in practice. This is related to its later market launch and promotion.” Mi Rui’an spoke earnestly. “You know, some blind people don’t want to interact with the outside world, but I happen to have you by my side. You’re even a live streamer, which will help us promote this robot.”
Is the requirement really that easy?
For a moment, Wei Jiangxue felt confused and puzzled, but what Mi Ruian said was indeed true. Many visually impaired people have difficulty going out, and over time they may become even less willing to leave their homes. Let alone accept an invitation from a company to become a tester.
"What is this robot in your company used for?" Wei Jiangxue showed obvious interest.
Mi Rui'an knew immediately that it was a good idea and began to explain in detail: "It mainly assists people with disabilities in their daily lives and travel. It's a new idea I came up with some time ago. Some people thought it was very meaningful, so we quickly developed a preliminary plan. These days we're busy making the first generation of the robot. Once it's finished, our professionals will test it and make sure there are no problems. Then we'll contact you to conduct daily trial tests."
Wei Jiangxue listened and nodded, pretending that she understood: "Then I promise you, and you won't hold me responsible anymore."
“Deal.” Mi Rui’an answered crisply.
After a moment of silence, Mi Rui'an spoke again: "However, I think I might be able to offer you some help. Don't you want to wear something suitable for the live stream? I can help you put together an outfit, since you appreciate my taste so much."
Wei Jiangxue's lips twitched. Even a blind man could tell what kind of taste Mi Rui'an had...
But her face lit up with joy, as if she'd been hit by a shower of money on the street: "Really? Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome, it's mutually beneficial."

[System 233: QAQ I'm sorry, host, I was called away by my colleagues this morning to repair the energy system of the Bookstore. So I lost contact with you and just restored the signal. I see the mission is complete. It seems things went smoothly on your end?]
After being out of contact for most of the day, 233 finally returned, and the question immediately hit Wei Jiangxue's sore spot.
Her face was pale, and her voice was weary: "Don't even mention it! Why didn't you tell me beforehand? You should at least have told me about Mi Rui'an's whereabouts before issuing the mission. She didn't even leave for work today. Me, a blind person! Going to her house! Stealing from her right in front of her!"
Wei Jiangxue's accusations were heart-wrenching, making 233 feel increasingly guilty and uneasy.
[System 233: So how did you pass the test, host?]
Wei Jiangxue truthfully told the system everything that happened after she entered the house. After listening, the system remained silent for a long time.
[System 233: So, you two have ended up in a cooperative relationship by some twist of fate?]
Wei Jiangxue nodded emphatically: "It shouldn't affect our mission. I'll just keep bullying her. It's just that she seems to have some misunderstanding about me and doesn't think I'm bullying her..."
[System 233: Never mind, as long as the task is completed, that's fine.]
"By the way, Mi Rui'an said her company has robots designed specifically for visually impaired people and invited me to be a tester, which I've already accepted. Can you tell me what her company does?" Wei Jiangxue suddenly became curious about Mi Rui'an's career path.
This was not confidential information, so 233 quickly informed Wei Jiangxue after checking it.
Mi Rui'an is currently the founder of Rui'er Artificial Intelligence Technology Service Co., Ltd., and she has always had a great interest in artificial intelligence. This company, which she founded out of interest, later became a solid force in Mi Rui'an's hands, and a mainstay supporting her in fighting against the villain Mi Feng.
Because Mi Rui'an remained behind the scenes, Mi Feng had no idea that this emerging technology company was part of Mi Rui'an's scheme and had even collaborated with Rui'er in the early stages, contributing to its later growth.
The robot specifically designed for visually impaired people, which Mi Rui'an invited Wei Jiangxue to test, does indeed exist, although its appearance should have been later. In addition, there are robots designed for other types of disabilities, aiming to use advanced artificial intelligence to help disadvantaged groups better integrate into the world.
233 pondered: "Perhaps it's because of your existence as a roommate that inspired her."

Half an hour before the live stream started, Wei Jiangxue went to Mi Rui'an's room, where she was already waiting for her.
Perhaps sensing the melancholy and anxiety in Wei Jiangxue's eyes, Mi Rui'an pressed down on her shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Trust my judgment. I won't make you wear ugly clothes."
Wei Jiangxue forced a smile. Of course, she wouldn't wear ugly clothes; 233 was watching right next to her. With the system overseeing things, she would absolutely not go live looking ugly.
However… Wei Jiangxue realized she hadn't told Mi Rui'an her livestream account, and Mi Rui'an didn't seem interested in it. Ever since Mi Rui'an said she would help Wei Jiangxue choose clothes, the other party hadn't inquired about her livestream ID or the content of her streams.
This struck Wei Jiangxue as odd. Humans are generally quite inquisitive, so was Mi Rui'an trying to catch her off guard and prevent her from lying?
Wei Jiangxue now describes Mi Rui'an as a very bad person, who may appear virtuous and upright but is actually full of evil intentions.
If the other party were a good person, they would have come to Wei Jiangxue the first time she stole clothes and earnestly advised her not to do bad things.
It's absolutely impossible that he calmly watched Wei Jiangxue steal the entire time and then made a mocking remark when she was about to succeed.
So, what wicked scheme is Mi Rui'an plotting now that she's helping her choose clothes?
Wei Jiangxue found it difficult not to try to understand Mi Rui'an's intentions with the narrowest of minds.
Unfortunately, she didn't know that Mi Rui'an, whom she had maliciously assumed, actually just wanted to dress up Wei Jiangxue.
Mi Rui'an had wanted to do this ever since she first saw Wei Jiangxue stealing her clothes.
"What is this?" Wei Jiangxue frowned as she grabbed the intricately patterned ribbon around her neck, which had a jingling object wrapped around her neck by Mi Rui'an.
“A beautiful choker. Trust me, you’ll look even more beautiful wearing it.” Mi Rui’an had somehow gotten very close to Wei Jiangxue, her breath brushing against her earlobe, causing a shiver to run through her.
Mi Rui'an smiled as she admired Wei Jiangxue's reddened ears.
How perfect! Her entire being is a testament to Mi Rui'an's style, and no one can erase that mark.
Once she finished dressing up, she pushed Wei Jiangxue in front of the mirror.
The elaborately layered dance skirt accentuated Wei Jiangxue's perfect figure, while the V-neckline made her neck appear even longer. The black lace choker added a touch of fragility and allure to Wei Jiangxue's delicate features.
Mi Rui'an suddenly thought that perhaps she could tie the choker to Wei Jiangxue's eyes.
That position is perfect for kissing through the lace.
She gazed intently at Wei Jiangxue in the full-length mirror, becoming increasingly fascinated by her.
If only I could keep Wei Jiangxue as a collectible and hide her away.
Mi Rui'an felt a pang of regret. She smoothed Wei Jiangxue's curly hair and whispered in the blind beauty's ear, "Go, show everyone your beauty, little lark."
