Chapter 238 Perform a Show, I'm Jealous of Myself
Only then could they be allowed to sit down, and then the second phase of interrogation would begin.
The information overload she had received in the past two weeks was almost overwhelming. After a moment's thought, she decided to start asking from the beginning.
As for where to start, Fang Ke remembered the very beginning. Apart from Fang Yefan's fluctuating favorability rating, Ye Si was the first person whose favorability rating increased immediately after she posted on Weibo, if she remembered correctly.
She posted her first Weibo post, and Ye Si's favorability rating immediately increased by 10 points.
She initially thought this man enjoyed being abused and treated like a dog, but after getting to know him, she realized he wasn't that type of person.
Fang Ke then asked, "Since you and I both have a mission in this world, did you know from the beginning that I am not me?"
This seemingly insane question might confuse others, but Yes would understand it instantly.
He nodded slightly. "How early is early?"
Fang Ke then said, "Why don't you tell me why your impression of me secretly improved when you first saw my Weibo post where I called out and cursed people?"
Fang Ke used a clever trick. Since she didn't know which words the Heavenly Dao would inexplicably censor, she changed "favorability" to "goodwill." Goodwill is a word used in daily communication, so it shouldn't be censored.
As expected, Fang Ke was able to ask the question smoothly.
Yes chuckled and asked first, "How come I didn't know my feelings for you had improved back then? Were you monitoring me?"
"...Never mind that, I said you got promoted, so you got promoted."
Fang Ke stared intently at him, having already gleaned a piece of information: if Yes's reaction was genuine, it meant that men didn't have a "favorability rating" bar, or at least he himself couldn't see it.
Therefore, he himself may not even know whether his favorability rating is rising or falling; it is purely reflected in his emotional likes and dislikes.
In this respect, he is indeed like the other characters he pursues; at least all his emotions are genuine.
Fang Ke had reservations about this point; she wanted to observe further to see if it was true or false.
Yes no longer had the tense and sharp look he had when he first entered, amidst the wind and snow.
Sitting by the fireplace, nestled in the comfortable sofa, surrounded by warmth, with the person in his heart across from him, he completely relaxed, feeling a bit lazy.
"Let me think..."
It was indeed a long time ago. Ye Si thought back to that day when he was working overtime in the office. While he went out to make coffee, he came back and heard several employees talking quietly.
"Has that fake heiress from the Fang family gone mad? Does she think she's not miserable enough? She even dares to tag those five big shots online. She can't afford to offend any of them. She's really digging her own grave."
"Our CEO Ye is truly an innocent victim. Let me tell you, one time I was working overtime and saw CEO Yi's girlfriend, Su Yao, coming to see CEO Ye. My goodness, she was talking like she was trying to seduce him, so sweet! But CEO Ye barely paid any attention to her the whole time, and later even made me take over her financial processing work... I almost got hated by her."
"Anyway, ever since then, I've refused to believe that our CEO Ye is also a suitor of Su Yao. It's just that the rumors have spread so wildly that they've ruined CEO Ye's reputation. I don't know what CEO Ye was thinking, but he didn't even bother to deny it."
"Really? I misunderstood. If you don't refute it, Mr. Ye, you probably think it's useless. Even if you go to the police now, people online will think you're making a false report."
"Anyway, that's how it is. Fang Ke's crazy Weibo post this time has dragged our CEO Ye down with her again. She's just waiting. I'm going up there to confront her!"
"I'm going too..."
...
When Ye Si finished making coffee and passed by the secretary's office, he overheard the group of high-achieving students chatting idly. When he returned to his office, he searched online for what they were talking about, specifically Fang Ke's Weibo post.
Fang Ke hadn't posted on Weibo for two years, but she posted several posts today.
Ye Si looked at them one by one and saw Fang Ke passionately arguing with netizens. Those netizens were obviously no match for her. She was completely outmaneuvering everyone, revitalizing her barren territory with her wits.
The mouse scrolled down and finally landed on the post where Fang Ke tagged him.
It doesn't really count as tagging him, because Fang Ke tagged many people in the same post.
[Fang Ke]: I've tolerated everything, yet you keep pushing me to the brink of death. @Su Yao, take your five dogs and get out of my world!
[Fang Ke]: Dog 1 @ Ye Si, Dog 2 @ Fang Ye Fan, Dog 3 @ Xiao Yi Chen, Dog 4 @ Yan Nuo, Dog 5 @ Yi Mo Han, all of you get out!
Ye Si, unusually, lingered on the Weibo post for two minutes, probably reading the two posts several times before shifting his attention to the post tagging his dog, and then his heart stirred slightly.
As for why Ye Si's heart stirred slightly at that moment, he couldn't help but smile again when he thought about it.
At the same time, Little B exclaimed in surprise, "Yes just gained 10 points of favorability in front of you. What's wrong with him? What is he thinking right now that makes him smile so happily?"
Fang Ke: "..."
Fang Ke tapped the table uncomfortably to remind him not to let his thoughts wander, "Have you thought it through?"
Yes hummed in agreement, and then said, "I probably thought at the time that...you were arguing with someone quite interesting (cute), and I watched from the sidelines and found it very amusing, which might have made me like you more."
Fang Ke raised one eyebrow high, "That's it?"
Yes looked at her and smiled faintly, "If there's anything else, it's that I was quite happy that you tagged me first."
Fang Ke: "…………"
I'm such a detail-oriented person!
"Big brother, you...you're such a repressed pervert..."
Why would anyone care about this!
Ye Si remained noncommittal. "Back then, you put Yi Mohan first in everything. Even when posting a Weibo like this, you should have put Yi Mohan in a separate row and tagged her first. So I thought it was a bit strange at the time. Is that okay?"
It was indeed strange, but strange enough that it gave Yes a long-lost feeling of being placed first.
Fang Ke: "…………"
Fang Ke couldn't help but think that men's feelings were really amazing. Just because she put him in the first tag, his favorability rating, which hadn't changed in ages, came back to life.
Brother, have something good to eat!
How badly did Fang Ke treat you in the past?
But when Fang Ke thought of this, he suddenly paused, and then thought of something even further back in time.
Since Yes cares whether Fang Ke himself cares about him or whether he was the first to tag him.
Does that mean that Yes still cares about Fang Ke from the past? Considering that Fang Ke had pursued him before and he never rejected her!
She wondered what the probability was that Yes liked "Fang Ke" back then.
Thinking of this, Fang Ke felt a pang of sadness. Her face darkened, and she wondered if she had become someone else's substitute by singing and dancing in front of Ye Si for the past two months.
Fang Ke asked in a deep voice, "...Then let's go back to the original question. You still haven't told me when you found out that I wasn't the real person."
Yes thought for a moment, her long eyelashes casting shadows, "To be sure, it was on Zhao's island, the moment I saw you firing a gun. To be sure, it was when I started to have doubts that day when I saw that Weibo post of yours."
Fang Ke was taken aback and couldn't help but exclaim "Eh!"
Did she guess wrong?
What Yes said doesn't mean that he discovered she had been replaced from the beginning, which is why his favorability towards her started to change and increase.
Thinking back to the second time his favorability towards her increased significantly, it was at Su Yao's birthday party that day. She was chatting with several waiters in French when Ye Si walked past her from behind and overheard them, which resulted in a 100-point increase in his favorability.
Fang Ke had teased the other person about their academic prowess, but now she wondered if it was because the original owner didn't know French, while she suddenly did, which further confirmed that they weren't the same person, thus increasing Ye Si's favorability towards her.
Yes, Fang Ke remembered that when she occasionally spoke French before, Zhao Qi acted strangely and asked her when she had learned French... It seems that the original owner really didn't know it.
Now, Fang Ke's heart was pounding. Her intuition told her that an important clue was ahead, and another piece of the puzzle might be about to be revealed.
She paused for a moment and then asked, "Senior, can you tell me why your feelings for me actually increased after you started to suspect that I might have become a different person?"
