Seeing that Qin Wan remained silent, Qin Xu felt uncertain and tentatively took a step forward...
Seeing that Qin Wan did not back away from him, he breathed a small sigh of relief.
“Wanwan…”
Qin Xu called out tentatively.
Qin Wan looked at him, but still didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Qin Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
He figured it out.
She didn't hate or dislike him; at most, she was just angry with him.
Thinking of this, Qin Xu became much bolder and tentatively took Qin Wan's hand.
The moment their skin touched, Qin Wan's hand "subconsciously" flinched away, and in that instant, Qin Xu instinctively grabbed her hand tightly and refused to let go.
“Wanwan…”
After successfully holding his sweetheart's hand, Qin Xu could no longer control himself, and the corners of his mouth gradually turned up.
“Wanwan, I know I was wrong…”
"I apologize to you. I was... stupid before. I was oblivious. As long as you can forgive me, you can punish me however you want, okay?"
To gain Qin Wan's forgiveness, the usually proud eldest son of the Qin family made a huge sacrifice, even going so far as to berate himself.
As he spoke, he held Qin Wan's small hand tightly and shook it slightly.
The boy, who usually had a clear and bright voice, lowered his voice at this moment, pouted his little mouth, and looked both innocent and pitiful.
Qin Wan: "..." She is somewhat lovable.
“Wanwan…”
"I truly love you, more than any amount of money! Please believe me."
Qin Xu blinked his innocent big eyes and stared at her expectantly, trying to win her pity and mercy.
Qin Wan: "..." So cute, I want to tease her.
Seeing that Qin Wan's expression had softened considerably and her gaze seemed to have become more "enthusiastic," Qin Xu felt a surge of excitement.
"Wanwan, are you willing to forgive me?"
Qin Wan gave a light "humph," neither admitting nor denying it.
Her reaction greatly encouraged Qin Xu, filling him with joy.
"Wanwan, then, would you like to date me?"
Qin Wan glanced at him, raised her chin slightly, and said with a haughty expression, "It depends on my mood."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xu looked astonished.
Is this even possible?
He had assumed she would say something like "we'll see how he performs," just like in the TV dramas.
Thinking of this, Qin Xu's lips curled up.
As expected of the person he likes, she is unique and unconventional.
Seeing Qin Xu's silly grin, Qin Wan's hand twitched almost imperceptibly at her side.
Hmm, she really is cute.
I want to pinch it, I want to bully it.
"So, do you still like me now?"
"..." Qin Wan looked at him in silence.
Although she didn't nod, she didn't shake her head either, did she?
Thinking of this, Qin Xu was not discouraged. After silently cheering himself up, he mustered his courage again and stared longingly at Qin Wan.
"I...I want to hug you, is that okay?"
Qin Xu asked cautiously, a stark contrast to his usual arrogant and haughty demeanor.
If someone who knows him well saw this scene, they would be shocked and wonder if he had taken the wrong medicine or been possessed by a ghost.
Meeting Qin Xu's pitiful little eyes, Qin Wan... finally couldn't hold back and stepped forward to hug him.
Qin Xu: "!!!"
She hugged him!
Wanwan still likes him after all!
She still has feelings for him after all!
Qin Xu's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 89.
Just as Qin Xu was trying to suppress his excitement and reached out to hug Qin Wan back...
Suddenly, my arms felt empty...
After a brief embrace, Qin Wan released him and waved goodbye before he could react.
"It's late, get some rest. I'm going in now."
With that, Qin Wan turned and left without looking back.
Watching her departing figure, and thinking about that extremely perfunctory embrace just now, a feeling of grievance welled up from the bottom of my heart.
She's still as awful as ever.
Even though she liked him and had confessed her feelings, she still didn't give up on being a "jerk" to him in different ways.
To not give a response after someone confesses their feelings is scummy!
She hugged him without warning, and afterwards didn't even say a word of explanation or comfort. What a jerk!
Qin Xu turned around, full of resentment, but his gaze met Wen Ze, who was "peeping" from not far away...
Even with him by her side, she still attracts unwanted attention and a bunch of bad suitors. She's such a jerk!
Qin Xu's favorability decreased by 1, current favorability is 88.
Qin Xu's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 90.
On the second floor of the villa, in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Qin Wan stood behind the curtains, smiling as she peered through the gap at the two men facing off outside the iron gate downstairs.
So cute.
Why are you looking at me like that?
"I haven't bothered Qin Wan anymore."
Faced with Qin Xu's hostility, Wen Ze was speechless.
Yes, it was indeed his fault for stalking and spying on them.
But he was doing it for their own good!
How can he continue his live stream if he doesn't follow and spy on them?
If he doesn't broadcast their show, why would those unscrupulous viewers in the live stream give him tips?
Without tips or points, how can he leave this mission world?
He had already compromised and abandoned the previous strategy missions.
If Qin Xu is rude to him, then he's going to...
Forget it, he doesn't deserve it.
Thinking about the final outcome of that dream, Wen Ze immediately looked dejected.
He's the perfect example of someone who harms both himself and others.
He is indeed selfish, he admits.
He could indeed add some difficulty and obstacles to Qin Xu and Qin Wan's relationship for the sake of the mission, letting them experience some hardships and pain, so that they could eventually achieve a happy ending.
But when it comes to taking lives... he wasn't cold-blooded and cruel to that extent.
Of course, most importantly, at the end of the dream, he sacrificed most of his points to restart this plane, just to change the fate of Qin Wan and Qin Xu.
Most of the points!!!
Is it easy for him to work so hard to earn some money and points?
He sold himself out for those points and that little bit of money.
In the end, he gained nothing and even lost everything!
"I remember you don't live here, how did you end up here?" Qin Xu narrowed his eyes, staring at Wen Ze with a dangerous look.
Wen Ze was a beat slow on the uptake: "...So, what do you mean?"
"Heh!" Qin Xu sneered, a chill flashing in his eyes.
"Hey! You don't suspect that I'm here because of Qin Wan, do you?" Wen Ze couldn't help but swear.
Qin Xu remained silent, straightening his sleeves as he approached Wen Ze.
Seeing this, Wen Ze didn't hesitate at all, turned around and ran away...
"Qin Xu, can't you be a little more rational?"
"Qin Wan isn't the only one living here!"
As Wen Ze frantically fled for his life, he couldn't help but shout curses at Qin Xu.
"I don't deny that Qin Wan is beautiful, but she's not the only woman in this world. There's no emotional foundation between us, so why would I haunt her like this?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xu grabbed him by the back of the collar and asked with a sneer, "If it wasn't for her, did you come here just to see me?"
"..." Wen Ze choked: "What if... what if I said yes?"
Do you...believe it?
