When the news reached Nan Miaoyin's ears, she couldn't believe her eyes.
It was only when Marshal Ji personally intervened and explained that these two were "pretending to be at odds," "pretending to be defeated by the underground party," and that "it was all actually for a secret operation," and that "it was all orchestrated by Marshal Ji himself," that he believed Yu Ling was behind it.
There was no way around it; Yu Ling's image had long since replaced the original owner's in her eyes. She could recognize an important person at a glance, even just by their style of doing things.
"You heartless brat, you didn't even send a message to let me know you're safe," she said.
Yu Ling, who had just habitually climbed in through the window, said, "...I came to find you, didn't I?"
Nan Miaoyin was startled and inexplicably wanted to throw this person out of the window and smash him into a pulp.
Unfortunately, she would never do such a foolish thing, so she could only suppress her anger and force a smile:
"So you finally decided to come back? Why don't you continue being your General Zhao? Seriously... you almost scared me to death!"
Yu Ling: "......" Should I not have come?
"Sister Miaoyin? You're not really angry, are you?" Yu Ling was a little worried. After all, he just happened to be passing by on his way to do some business and stopped by to say hello to the female lead.
"No." Nan Miaoyin shook her head, then asked, "How did you end up here?"
"I...I'm just passing by and looking for a friend!" Actually, Yu Ling couldn't help but trick Ji Shaoshuai and his father again, so she thought she would hide out and let the father and son calm down before going back.
Upon hearing this, Nan Miaoyin's eyes darkened slightly. "Really? Male or female?"
"Female...male."
Hearing Yu Ling's uncertain answer, Nan Miaoyin felt a chill run down her spine.
...He even has a girlfriend?
"What's wrong? You don't look well. Are you sick?"
\"nothing.\"
Seeing Nan Miaoyin's unpleasant expression, Yuling assumed he was upset because she hadn't come specifically to see her, so she quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Sister Miaoyin, I should have come to find you sooner..."
Nan Miaoyin waved her hand, "Stop, I'm not that petty. You sit down and rest for a while, I'll go make some tea."
Upon hearing this, Yu Ling quickly pulled her aside, "No need, Sister Miaoyin, I'm not thirsty."
Nan Miaoyin: "......"
Do you think I don't know you're not thirsty? I just want to calm down!
"So who are you going to talk to? Let me help you decide if this friend is reliable."
Nan Miaoyin became even more unhappy. She had always thought that she had long accepted her life alone, but she never expected that she would still find it hard not to overthink things after seeing Yu Ling!
Moreover, it seems he has fallen for someone else!
How could she not be upset?
Nan Miaoyin raised her voice an octave: "Where is this friend of yours from? What does he look like? Where does he live?"
When Yu Ling saw Nan Miaoyin asking a long string of questions in one breath, she couldn't help but smile bitterly to herself.
As expected, the female lead still can't let go of that scumbag from the original owner of the body. (Nan Miaoyin: It's not him, it's you!!!)
"His name is Lu Jingchen, and he lives in the Lu family villa in the West District. As for what he looks like..." Yu Ling deliberately kept him in suspense, "Do you want to know?"
\"think!\"
"Then I'll tell you, but you have to promise not to tell anyone else."
"Speak quickly!"
"Emmm... I don't actually know what he looks like, because I made him up. Okay, I just came to see how you're doing, I don't have any friends at all."
Nan Miaoyin is now completely certain that Yu Ling is still that little rascal who talks nonsense. He made up such lies to fool her just to make her laugh.
"You're lying to me again?!" Nan Miaoyin roared.
Yu Ling: "......I was wrong." I just came to visit you and see if you really gave up on me, not to be scolded. I decisively gave up the argument.
Nan Miaoyin: "Where did you go wrong?"
"I shouldn't have lied to you."
"Then why did you lie to me?"
"I want you to see through the men who approach you and stay away from them," Yu Ling said. "Even a man as good-looking as me can lie; as for those ugly men, they're not good enough for you."
"It's none of your business if you're not good enough for me!"
Yu Ling: "......" Wouldn't you say he shot himself in the foot?
"Sister Miaoyin, you don't... still have contact with that greasy guy, do you?" Yuling asked tentatively.
Nan Miaoyin: Oh no, I can see the images! My eyes hurt!!!
Actually, that disgusting guy had already been shot dead by her.
But could she say something so damaging to her image? Of course not!
"Is it any of your business?" she scoffed.
"That's good..." Yu Ling breathed a sigh of relief. "I was just worried you'd get scammed by that jerk again, so I came back to check on you. If everything's alright, I'll be going now?"
Nan Miaoyin: "...Are you crazy? For something so trivial, a handsome man like you ran this far?!"
Nan Miaoyin was speechless. In the end, she could only sigh, turn around and leave to calm down, leaving Yu Ling with only her back view.
Yu Ling: "......" Did he say something wrong again?
[Host, the female lead seems to, possibly, likes you?] The system, an observer, sees things clearly.
