“A three-thousand-word self-criticism. I will check it in an hour. If you can’t write three thousand words well, write ten thousand words until you can write it well.”
Xiao Linyi reverted to his cold and ruthless self, Master Zichen, and after speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Although his face was expressionless, Chu Xinxin knew that he was truly angry this time, the kind that couldn't be appeased.
She didn't dare to say aloud that she couldn't write because her hands were tied.
Chu Xinxin sat down on a chair with a long face, opened the task panel to check the progress, and Xiao Linyi's favorability value had changed to "404".
Below the task bar are several highly undulating parabolic lines.
To help the host know which method is more effective for winning over the target, the system has specially set up a time-affinity coordinate axis, on which the affinity at each time point is recorded.
Chu Xinxin did some research and found that Xiao Linyi's favorability dropped the fastest when she chatted with Qingyun, paid the bill, and mentioned pressing the token. Her favorability rose the fastest when she held Xiao Linyi's hand, said she missed him, and when Xiao Linyi said she was lying. Especially when she said she missed him, her favorability soared to the highest value in history - 3520!
It turns out that our Master Zichen likes straightforward players.
Chu Xinxin understood.
Unable to write, she leaned back in her chair, thinking about how to coax Xiao Linyi later. As she thought, she fell asleep and even had a dream.
In her dream, Xiao Linyi stood motionless before her, his face grim, veins bulging on the back of his hands as if suppressing something. She casually uttered something, and Xiao Linyi suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with madness. The next second, everything around them turned to dust, and Xiao Linyi instantly appeared before her, wrapping his arms around her neck...
Chu Xinxin grabbed that hand and stood up. Before she could even see the person clearly, she began to confess: "I like you. I like you a lot."
As Tianji stepped into the study, he saw Chu Xinxin lying unconscious in a chair. He called her several times but received no response. Fearing something might have happened to her, he reached out to check her pulse. He never expected that Miss Xinxin also liked him.
However, Tianji was a little confused: "Miss Xinxin, your official partner is Lao Xiao, and you just showed great favor to Young Master Qingyun. Now you say you like me. Which one do you like?"
Tianji...
Chu Xinxin lowered her head awkwardly, drew an "∞" symbol on the ground with her toes, and muttered softly, "There's no rule in the heavens that says a person can't like three people at the same time, is there?"
Tianji's eyes widened. Tsk, I've met my match. Am I going to have to hand over my title as the number one sea king of Shengjing?
Xiao Linyi, whose hearing was exceptionally good and who was walking this way from a distance, stumbled and felt a sudden pang of bitterness in his heart.
Am I just one of them...?
Tianji came to his senses and began to advise Chu Xinxin: "Miss Xinxin, what you are doing is wrong. As the ancients said, 'Of the three thousand rivers, one should only take a sip.' Being too greedy will only lead to getting nothing in the end."
Chu Xinxin looked up at him, her eyes full of innocence: "What did I do wrong? I just wanted to make every boy happy."
This statement was refreshing, and Tianji thought that if he changed it, he could also use this sentence: "I just want to bring happiness to every girl."
That's brilliant.
Tianji was filled with respect and bowed slightly to Chu Xinxin, saying, "Miss Xinxin, let me help you untie this chain."
"Can you untie it?"
"Of course, I did all of this."
Tianji was waiting for Chu Xinxin to praise him, but Chu Xinxin gave him a sharp look: "If you could solve it, why didn't you solve it for me in the first place?"
Tianji: "...I was wrong, I'll undo it now."
To show his sincerity, Tianji also told Chu Xinxin the password to the chain.
"Password? What password?" Chu Xinxin pressed.
“Eight eights. This is the initial password for all the little gadgets I make. Old Xiao probably won’t bother changing the password. You can try it.” Tianji pulled the end of the chain over for Chu Xinxin to see. There were the words “Made by Tianji” written there, showing a strong awareness of copyright.
Chu Xinxin counted eight eights to the chain, and the chain fell down immediately.
She picked up the chain and suddenly remembered the "Love Chain" that had bound her and Xiao Linyi together that night, so she asked Tianji if he had made that one too.
Tianji nodded: "Yes."
His expression then turned somewhat lewd: "Isn't it great? It adds fun and excitement, hehe."
Chu Xinxin's question implies that she and Xiao Linyi used it that night.
"Is the password the same?" Chu Xinxin ignored his teasing and thought about how to use the "Love and Affection Chain" to boost Xiao Linyi's favorability.
"Same."
Do you have one? Lend me one.
"Who carries those things with them?"
Tianji denied it.
Chu Xinxin squinted at him: "Really not?"
Tianji's eyes darted around, and Chu Xinxin said again, "If you give it to me, I'll tell you about what happened that night."
Tianji: "Miss Xinxin, would you like the gold one, the silver one, or this new rose gold one?"
Chu Xinxin: ......
In the end, Tianji didn't get to hear the gossip. After giving the chain to Chu Xinxin, he suddenly received a message from Zhang Chuanfu and rushed back.
It seems that the ex and the current boyfriend met at his Tianji Tower and then got into a fight.
"Luckily, Xiao Linyi doesn't have an ex." Chu Xinxin remarked with a sigh after hearing the voice transmission talisman say that Tianji Tower was going to be demolished.
With the chain undone, Chu Xinxin decisively chose to go directly to Xiao Linyi over writing a self-criticism.
However, Zichen Palace is too big, and without any maids or servants to ask, how am I supposed to find it?
Chu Xinxin thought for a moment, then took out a communication talisman: "Sect Master, it's been an hour, why haven't you arrived yet? I have something I want to tell you in person."
The sound transmission talisman vanished in a flash.
Xiao Linyi was still angry, but he couldn't resist wanting to know what Chu Xinxin wanted to say to him. After hesitating for a while, he still came over to the study.
Before entering, Xiao Linyi straightened his clothes, pretending that he wasn't in a hurry.
Chu Xinxin's eyes lit up when she saw him arrive. She stood up from her chair and exclaimed happily, "Sect Master!"
Xiao Linyi responded with a faint "Mm".
Chu Xinxin secretly observed his expression. He seemed to have calmed down a bit and had become a little bolder. She stepped forward and tugged at Xiao Linyi's sleeve: "Sect Master, I know I was wrong."
"What about a self-criticism?"
"How am I supposed to write with my hands tied like that?" Chu Xinxin said, feeling wronged.
Xiao Linyi looked down at her hands. Chu Xinxin thought he wanted to ask how the chain was untied, so she quickly explained, "Master Tianji just came over to help me untie it, but he had to go back because of something."
"Hmm." Xiao Linyi looked at the two red marks on Chu Xinxin's wrist and didn't hear what she said.
He was still angry and tied her up too tightly, leaving deep red marks on her fair wrists, which were quite shocking.
Xiao Linyi's anger subsided considerably, and he reached out to grab Chu Xinxin's hand. Chu Xinxin thought he was trying to tie her up again, so she shrank back a little.
Xiao Linyi paused, then said with a hint of defeat, "I just wanted to see the injury on your hand."
