“Long Tian, the fact that Li Yiyi was chosen as the target of a romance means that she is extraordinary. So what if an extraordinary person has some special skills?”
What's wrong with having a few special skills?
Long Tian thought about it and it didn't seem like a big deal. For someone with great fortune, special skills were a common thing.
Thinking about how he had shown his foolish side in front of Li Yiyi, Long Tian's pride was hurt.
"What do you mean by Li Yiyi helping you unbind the system? Did Li Yiyi help you raise your favorability rating to one hundred?"
A hint of urgency flashed in Long Tian's eyes; he was eager to know how Li Su had been untied.
"Of course not."
"It was only unbound when it was negative 100."
Li Su quickly finished her explanation, giving Long Tian no time to react.
"Long Tian, why is it negative one hundred? This is related to the second thing I'm about to tell you."
His heart sank, then jumped back up sharply. Long Tian stared at Li Su.
"Long Tian, do you still remember the strategist game you once mentioned?"
"What do you mean? Did you discover something?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Long Tian's eyes when he realized that what he had casually mentioned was actually true.
What if all the guide providers were working for the same person?
Instead of addressing the topic directly, Li Su dropped an even more bombshell. Visibly, Long Tian's breathing quickened, his face flushed, and his chest heaved more violently.
Li Su remained silent, giving Long Tian ample time to react and process the information.
"What...what do you mean by that?"
Licking his dry lips, Long Tian was shocked by the news Li Su had told him.
He had considered that he and Li Su wouldn't be the only ones vying for Li Yiyi's affections, and he had also considered that many others would emerge to compete with him, but he hadn't anticipated that...
These so-called strategists are puppets in the hands of others, serving only those who are in power.
"Do you think you can't understand what I mean? Long Tian, don't forget where you come from."
He came from somewhere, she came from the future, so how could he not understand?
Saying you don't understand is just a way of refusing to accept it.
Who is that person?
"Li Hun".
"What!"
"It's Li Hun."
When the news broke that Li Hun was the mastermind, Long Tian was clearly taken aback. He looked at Li Su in shock, only to receive an even more certain answer.
"It's Li Hun, his leg is all healed."
Li Hun, the person Li Su hates whenever she mentions him, is both a blood relative and an enemy.
My leg is healed.
Only these three words remained in Long Tian's mind. Once he verified them, everything would make sense.
It is a well-known fact that Li Hun's leg was broken, and doctors had asserted that it was impossible for it to heal. The fact that it suddenly healed must be due to some kind of miracle.
He came to confront Li Su, only to receive two pieces of shocking news, each more astonishing than the last.
Long Tian could not see the reason why Li Su lied to him, nor could he see the fact that Li Su's leg had healed.
Li Hun returned from the Zhao family's house and was spotted by Long Tian. It was getting dark, but Long Tian wouldn't mistake Li Hun's back view.
Step by step, what Li Su said was true; Li Hun's leg really was healed, truly healed.
Therefore, Li Hun is indeed the mastermind behind it all, and the system they possess is merely a tool for Li Hun to control them.
For a moment, Long Tian wanted to rush forward and demand an explanation, but reason prevailed, and he dared not ask.
Knowing the truth, Long Tian was even more afraid that Li Hun would find out he already knew and use the system to make him disappear.
Remembering what Li Su said about unbinding with a negative 100 favorability points, Long Tian felt fortunate that he had other methods.
"Li Yiyi, what's your decision?"
Li Yiyi didn't respond for a long time, and Long Tian became a little anxious, urging her again.
"I'm not considering it."
Li Yiyi casually tore up the note Long Tian had written and spoke again.
"But there's one thing I'm interested in. If you do it well, then we can..."
What could it be? Li Yiyi didn't say, but Long Tian understood. There was an invisible pair of eyes watching them from behind; some things couldn't be said too explicitly.
Shall we go inside and talk?
Li Yiyi gestured, and Long Tian followed Li Yiyi into the house. He had no right to refuse.
When Long Tian first entered Li Yiyi's home, he realized that he had underestimated how wealthy Li Yiyi's family was.
Upon entering, you'll find an elegant courtyard, where you can see quaint and distinctive houses.
They arrived at the living room, its simple decor exuding understated luxury. A barely perceptible hint of covetousness flickered in Long Tian's eyes.
The moment Li Yi looked over, he immediately put on a nonchalant act.
"sit."
He handed over a piece of paper with "Cooperation" written on it.
Long Tian crumpled the paper and wrote "How to do it?" on it, though what he said was also what he really meant.
"Li Yiyi, can't you really be my boyfriend?"
Is it really impossible? Glancing around the room, Long Tianzhen truly couldn't bear to part with it.
"It depends on your performance."
He gave a cryptic smile. Li Yi saw through his intentions but didn't say anything. Having greed was a good thing.
The most terrifying thing is the absence of greed, the lack of desire. Concealing the sneer in her eyes, Li Yi casually wrote this down.
Pretend, pursue secretly, succeed, and lure them into a trap.
It wasn't written very clearly, mainly because there were too many words, and Li Yiyi didn't want to write it all down. Anyway, Long Tian could understand it.
Judging from Long Tian's response, it was both a perfunctory one and a serious one.
Holding the note written by Li Yiyi, Long Tian remained motionless for a long time, seemingly lost in thought.
After weighing the pros and cons, Long Tian realized that agreeing to Li Yiyi's request was the best choice; there was even a chance they might actually fall in love.
