Chapter 55: The Unlocked Heartthrob

Liang Man found it hard to describe the feeling in her heart. The evening sunlight quietly shone through the window onto Qi Shaoyou, and Shaoyou was also warmed by it.

The warm girl in front of her seemed to possess magic; Liang Man felt her heart warmed by just one glance.

For a moment, Liang Man even wondered if the scene was a hallucination.

For a long time, she had imagined what home would look like right now. There would be someone waiting for her at home, bringing her the warmth of home when she returned.

Qi Shaoyou was actually a little embarrassed. She learned that when Sister Manman was in trouble, she would eat a bowl of scallion oil noodles to comfort herself.

So she's trying to make it herself and then deliver it to the film crew. Qi Shaoyou never expected Sister Manman to come back, and she was actually a little embarrassed when she saw her.

This was her first time doing it; what if she failed? Qi Shaoyou smelled the fragrance in the air and thought she had done a decent job.

"Mmm." Liang Man picked up the keys from the ground and closed the door, trying her best to hold back the tears welling up in her eyes.

"Why did you want to make scallion oil noodles?" Liang Man remembered that Qi Shaoyou didn't really like scallions and would sometimes pick them out of the noodles.

Therefore, she probably didn't make scallion oil noodles because she wanted to eat them herself.

"Because you crave this when you're sad, Sister Manman, Sister Fang Yuan secretly told me." Qi Shaoyou said this as naturally as if he were talking about the sunny weather today.

"So I wanted to learn how to make scallion oil noodles. If you eat your favorite food, you won't be so unhappy, Sister Manman." Qi Shaoyou spoke as if it was only natural for her to treat Liang Man this way.

Looking at the scene before her, 0527 realized that she had underestimated the power of the big boss, Wanrenmi.

She is Liang Man, and she's about to fall in love with a powerful figure! Not to mention that she already liked him, and he's doing all this for her.

0527 thought for a moment, then thought of another gift in Qi Shaoyou's room...

What a terrifying woman! Only after Qi Shaoyou finished preparing the gift did she realize how suitable he was for the "Most Popular Person" group.

The main problem is that the main system is just too disgusting; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to find any possibility that the big shot would fail in the popular group.

0527 doesn't understand humans, but she genuinely believes that Liang Man has a million reasons to fall in love with the big boss.

The only pity is that the boss is a pure blockhead, the kind who doesn't need to learn to swim and would never drown... I just don't know how the boss will exude charm without restrictions.

When Liang Man heard Qi Shaoyou's reason, she hadn't expected it to be so simple. Her throat tightened, and unable to speak, she reached out to Qi Shaoyou for chopsticks.

Qi Shaoyou looked at Sister Manman's outstretched hand and had a flash of inspiration, so he put his face on it.

0527: How terrifying! This is what the heartthrob looks like after being sealed away! His seduction skills are so smooth it's almost unbelievable!

Qi Shaoyou pressed his face against Sister Manman's hand, then looked up slightly and said, "Don't worry, Sister Manman, don't worry, I can help you solve this problem!"

"I do have a few methods, you can trust me."

The pair of dark blue eyes before him were filled with determination and sincerity. His high, straight nose gently brushed against Liang Man's palm.

The warm and soft touch made Liang Man want to smile. Her little baby was so cute.

"I'd like to try your scallion oil noodles. Could I have a pair of chopsticks?" Liang Man smiled and reached out to touch Qi Shaoyou's cheek.

Realizing he had misunderstood, Qi Shaoyou blushed deeply.

Qi Shaoyou obediently handed Liang Man a pair of chopsticks, asking her to taste the food in the pot. If the taste wasn't right, she would eat the scallion oil noodles and then make another one for Sister Manman.

She had worked as a chef in one of the mission worlds, and Qi Shaoyou believed that she couldn't cook anything too badly.

Even with these thoughts in mind, she felt a little nervous. The moment the noodles entered Liang Man's mouth, Qi Shaoyou asked, "Is it good? Is it good?"

"It's delicious, I really like it."

This was the truth. Looking at Xiao Bao in front of her, Liang Man felt that a person's sincerity was more precious and delicious than this bowl of noodles.

"I know you must be unhappy about what happened to you, Sister Manman, so I prepared this gift for you!"

Qi Shaoyou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Liang Man thought it tasted delicious.

She had already made a plan B for herself: if she really didn't have the talent to make scallion oil noodles, she could give that gift to Liang Man.

She was confident that the gift would make Sister Manman happy!

"Sister Manman, wait for me! Just stand here with your eyes closed, I'm going to get something."

"You absolutely mustn't open your eyes until I say so! You absolutely cannot peek!"

Qi Shaoyou carefully explained, and Liang Man obediently closed her eyes. She thought she had come back to comfort Shaoyou.

However, the person she wanted to comfort was comforting her.

She couldn't describe the feeling; it was both satisfying and bittersweet. The happiness came unexpectedly, like a cream cake she had seen before.

The cream cakes of her childhood were beautiful and dreamy, but had nothing to do with her. As she grew older, she convinced herself that for the sake of work and life, she should no longer yearn for that cream cake.

And now, someone has delivered this cake to her. The cake tastes exactly as she imagined—a taste she will love for the rest of her life.

Qi Shaoyou brought the gifts to the living room and carefully adjusted the angle at which she held them.

"Three, two, one! Look!" Qi Shaoyou's voice rang out from not far away, and Liang Man slowly opened her eyes.

The floor-to-ceiling windows let in the gentler sunlight of the evening than at noon, which shone on the transparent glass painting in the background, making all the colors appear exceptionally vivid.

The glass painting depicts the view Liang Man once saw in the furniture store, a lush green scene that seems to be shining through the glass.

This isn't a real view from the window, but because of the sunlight, it can momentarily replace a real view in one's mind.

When Qi Shaoyou first started painting, she never imagined that her skills could replace the real window view. As long as she could capture even a fleeting moment, she felt that her painting had fulfilled its mission.

"Do you like it?" If it weren't for the fact that he would hate himself in three days, Qi Shaoyou wouldn't have dared to hand the painting over to Sister Manman.

At most, she would finish the painting and have Fang Yuan hand it over, and she would definitely tell Fang Yuan not to sell herself.

Fortunately, she has this buff now, so she doesn't have to worry too much about what she does.

Looking over, Liang Man could no longer see the glass painting. All she could see was the person smiling brightly and radiantly.

"I really like it." As Liang Man finished speaking, tears blurred her vision. She put down her chopsticks and walked directly towards Qi Shaoyou.

Liang Man carefully took the painting from Qi Shaoyou's hand, and she carefully touched the dried marks on it.

"It's very well painted, very well painted." Liang Man looked at it with great care, as if she were touching some rare treasure.

Liang Man thought that she had lost in the end; she had lost to the crystal-clear heart of the person in front of her.

She surrendered to her base love; she could no longer let worldly opinions stop her from stopping her little treasure.

She surrendered to human love; love truly is an irrational thing.

Liang Man gently cupped Qi Shaoyou's face, her eyes soft and her movements gentle as she wiped away the smudges from her face.

Qi Shaoyou then noticed that his face was dirty.

"Shaoyou, after this is over, shall we get married?" Liang Man's two sentences left Qi Shaoyou stunned.

"This proposal isn't very formal, or would you like us to get to know each other a little more?"

Liang Man didn't know what made her bring up the word "marriage," even though she was terrified of it.

But she wasn't afraid if it was Qi Shaoyou. Holding Xiaobao's hand, she thought she could face anything.

Qi Shaoyou's mind went blank; it was truly blank. 0527 went completely insane, begging the big boss not to agree.

【Waaaaah, I don't want to die, boss! If Sister Manman loves you too much, or if you two get married, I feel like I'll really be wiped out by the rest of you!】0527 never expected things to turn out this way.

“Sister Manman, if it’s a proposal, it should be me who proposes. From beginning to end, it was me who seduced you.” Qi Shaoyou looked into Liang Man’s eyes, his gaze filled with unwavering determination.

Upon hearing this, Liang Man was taken aback. She had been somewhat flustered during the few seconds that Qi Shaoyou remained silent.

She was afraid, afraid that her little one had fallen in love with someone else. She was afraid it was too late, that she hadn't expected to hear this answer.

"Sister Manman, wait for me for three months. I want to give us a perfect wedding." Qi Shaoyou held Liang Man's hand, his tone firm.

0527 couldn't cry anymore; she felt she was truly doomed.

Don't overthink it. Sister Manman will hate me within three days. Have you forgotten the video I asked you to make?

[With that video added, her memory will be altered. This promise is destined to be empty.]

Qi Shaoyou was so calm, it was almost unlike her usual self.

【Oh…】0527 hugged herself tenderly.

[Wow, you're so calm, you have that "bad girl" vibe.]

Qi Shaoyou was so angry at 0527 that she laughed. She only replied with a sentence that broke 0527's heart.

[Play mahjong all night tonight! You can only go to sleep when you've lost all your Happy Beans!]

【No! Oh God!】0527 was shocked; she was terrified.
