Yan Chenghuan was already awake when Zhang Xu appeared in the alley outside. He was a light sleeper, and besides, his cultivation had reached the fourth level, so the commotion over several hundred meters couldn't escape his notice. He had been pretending to be asleep to see what new tricks this woman would use to torment him, but it turned out she wanted to measure his dimensions?
Yan Chenghuan propped himself up and pulled the measuring tape from Zhang Xu's astonished hand. After carefully examining it, he confirmed that it was indeed a soft measuring tape for making clothes, with nothing unusual about it. He was somewhat surprised and a little strange, but he looked down at him with a cold expression and unfathomable black eyes.
"What new trick are you planning to pull this time?"
Zhang Xu braced herself on the ground with both hands, and faced with Yan Chenghuan's extremely threatening gaze, she was speechless for a moment.
"I..." Zhang Xu opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.
"Don't tell me you came all this way in the middle of the night to take my measurements so you could make me clothes? Miss Xuxu, when did you become so kind? Or is this some new way to torture me?" Yan Chenghuan toyed with the soft measuring tape in her hand, her expression dark.
Zhang Xu was unaware that in the past, when Xu Xu bullied Yan Chenghuan, he would remain silent, only staring at her with cold eyes. Seeing this look would only embolden Xu Xu, causing her to become even more ruthless. Yan Chenghuan would silently endure the beatings, then lick his wounds alone in a corner like a wounded animal. Zhang Xu's recent frequent expressions of concern for him had already made Yan Chenghuan suspicious.
Zhang Xu was still basking in the embarrassment of being caught, her face flushed red as she tried to come up with an excuse.
Help! This is so embarrassing! Zhang Xu really didn't know how to answer. She'd been caught red-handed, and no matter what she said, wouldn't everyone interpret it as her being a pervert or a lecher? Coming to take measurements and make clothes for someone late at night was the real reason, but saying it now would just be too ridiculous and shameful.
"Wake up, you're just a villainous supporting character anyway, whether you're ashamed or not doesn't matter anymore," Sixty-Five reminded Zhang Xu in her mind.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xu's eyes lit up. That's right! She was originally a villainous supporting character, so it would be reasonable for her to do something strange.
Having figured it out, Zhang Xu suddenly felt confident. She patted the mud off her skirt, stood up, and bravely stared at Yan Chenghuan, saying fiercely, "What business is it of yours what I want to do? It's none of your concern."
After saying that, she tried to snatch the measuring tape back from his hand.
Upon hearing this, Yan Chenghuan's expression grew even colder, and his piercing gaze gave Zhang Xu goosebumps.
"Miss Xuxu, do you know how funny it is when you pretend to be a bad guy?"
"What?"
Before Zhang Xu could react, a red alarm started beeping frantically in her mind. Intense pain spread from her head throughout her body. It was as if all the strength in her body had been drained away in an instant. She lost her balance and collapsed to the ground.
"Warning! Warning! Warning! Character deviation! Character deviation! Character deviation! Please correct! Please correct! Please correct!" The cold, mechanical voice of number sixty-five rang in Zhang Xu's mind. Zhang Xu was in so much pain that she saw stars and had no energy to think about what she had just done wrong.
Yan Chenghuan initially thought she was playing tricks again, but when he found her curled up in pain, her face as white as paper, he frowned but still reached out to pull her up with interest.
At this moment, Zhang Xu was in so much pain that she was barely conscious. When she saw something coming towards her, she instinctively pushed it away, and Yan Chenghuan, caught off guard, fell to the ground. As Yan Chenghuan fell, the alarm bells in Zhang Xu's head stopped.
Zhang Xu disregarded everything else at that moment, snatching the measuring tape back from Yan Chenghuan's hand before she could react. When Zhang Xu forcefully pulled back the rope she had twisted, it left a red mark on Yan Chenghuan's face.
The alarm and the pain stopped at the same time.
Zhang Xu grabbed a measuring ruler and stormed out the door.
Sixty-five, sixty-five, you'd better explain to me what just happened.
Just now, Yan Chenghuan seems to have discovered that you are not the original Xuxu, so the system thinks that your character setting has deviated.
Zhang Xu, who had been running hurriedly, suddenly slowed down.
