Chapter 26

There were still three minutes before class started. People in the recreation area returned to the practice room one after another. Feng Zifan and his friends were among them. When they saw Xingshi, they walked towards him.

"I almost thought you were going to be late," Feng Zifan slowed down his pace and distanced himself from the people in front of him, whispering, "Gu Zheng didn't go to the dinner yesterday. We were sitting there just now, and he came to see you."

Xingshi's thoughts temporarily moved away from Fu Xiuning and focused on what was in front of him: "Hmm?"

Feng Zifan said, "I asked him what he wanted to see you about, but he didn't tell me."

Xingshi responded casually and didn't take it to heart.

Yu Yi asked in a low voice: "Will they guess that the quota was taken away because they plotted against you?"

Feng Zifan said: "They may also want to ask our brother Shi for help and push his name over. I heard that they will be trained for a period of time after entering the factory, and there is still room for maneuver."

Yu Yi's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked like his three views were shocked, which made Feng Zifan laugh.

Xing Shi did not interrupt because Lin Kecheng came to ask about the result.

In order to avoid the timing of the topic ending too coincidentally and arousing suspicion from the person involved, he asked Lin Kecheng's system to chat a few more words in the group before diving, which should have just ended.

He then ordered the system to reply and tell them that Yu Shu was most likely the host, still using the system's tone, explaining that it was all observed.

Lin Kecheng was still lying in bed.

He stayed up all night to check suspicious people and put together a report that seemed powerful but was actually pure guesswork. He was a little nervous at first, but now that he knew the result, he was very excited: "Does this mean that we are useful?"

He felt that the depressed mood of the past few days was relieved a little: "If his system came forward, as long as they could connect the time when it came to this world and the time when Xingshi appeared in front of Fu Xiuning, they would still be suspicious, right? Unlike us, who have no problems at all, this proves that they still need help."

The system said: "But now he has met another host, who came earlier than us and works for Fu Xiuning."

Lin Kecheng's face changed slightly: "Are you saying that he wants to change allies?"

The system The system was a little uneasy: "I'm not sure."

Lin Kecheng tried to stay calm and analyzed: "It shouldn't be. At present, we are the only ones who know that Xingshi is the host. If they don't renew the contract, aren't they afraid that we will break up and expose him?"

He said: "Invite him to dinner, I'll feel out the situation."

The system went quickly and said: "They said Xingshi is too busy, so you should hurry up and confirm the identities of the suspicious people on the list. We can discuss it when we get together again at the next renewal."

Lin Kecheng's brows relaxed: "I said they wouldn't break up so quickly."

He didn't plan to make up for it, and got up with his broken leg: "I'll go now."

System: "..."

Is this an illusion? Why do I suddenly have the feeling that my host is being PUA?

It looked at the despairing -5 in the favorability value and reminded: "Don't just focus on work, let's try to show our face in front of Fu Xiuning more often. It's worth it to increase our favorability. Didn't Yu Shu go to show his face today?"

Lin Kecheng naturally understood this truth: "Well, we have his class schedule. You should report his position more recently."

He paused and changed his words: "It doesn't need to be too much, save some energy."

System: "..."

Xingshi sent Lin Kecheng away and went to class.

After a short class, Gu Zheng and his roommate came over. Everyone's eyes were all on them, with different expressions.

Gu Zheng looked much more haggard after a night, and whispered: "Brother Shi, can we go out and talk?"

Xingshi glanced at them and walked past them out of the practice room.

Gu Zheng and his roommate hurriedly followed him all the way to the window at the end of the corridor. Seeing him lazily leaning against the wall, Gu Zheng took a deep breath and said, "Brother Shi, we are here to apologize."

Xingshi raised his eyebrows: "Apologize for what?"

Gu Zheng lowered his head, regretting his decision: "We accidentally bumped into you last time. We did it on purpose. We're sorry."

His roommate also lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "Brother Shi, we're sorry."

Xingshi was surprised: "Really? On purpose?"

Gu Zheng was completely devoid of the high-spirited attitude he had in the past few days, and admitted: "Yes."

He confessed his motive and said, "I know that my replacement may be related to this. I brought this upon myself and have no complaints, but I still owe you an apology."

Xingshi was even more surprised: "How could it be related to me? The teacher said that the replacement was made after comprehensive considerations."

They gave Xingshi a "no evidence" and Xingshi gave them one in return.

Gu Zheng felt bitter: "Yes, it has nothing to do with this matter. We feel that since we did something wrong, we have to give you an explanation. We regretted it after we did it that day, but we have been lucky and have not admitted our mistakes until now."

The roommate said hoarsely: "I regretted it when I rushed down that day. I was afraid that I would really hurt someone. In fact, I quickly withdrew my strength, but I didn't expect to hit him. I'm not saying this to make excuses. I was wrong, I'm sorry, Brother Shi."

Gu Zheng bowed his head again: "I'm sorry, Brother Shi."

Xing Shi said "um" calmly.

He is not a person who will not forgive others when he is right. If others plot against him, he just needs to retaliate. Whether or not to apologize is secondary. Whether these two people are sincere or not, at least their attitude is shown. Just don't make the same mistake again.

He said, "Take some time to apologize to Yu Yi and the others, and we'll put this behind us."

Gu Zheng and his roommates felt relieved and said yes.

Xing Shi watched them leave and stood there without moving.

│He

was a little absent-minded in the first class and needed to sort out his thoughts.

The system thought he was still thinking about it, and commented: "I hope they are truly repentant, although part of the reason they came to apologize must be that they are worried that they will be framed in the future and will never debut."

Xingshi was about to respond when it said: "There is no way, who made Fu Xiuning love you? He is very happy when you two are close. Tsk tsk, I can't imagine how high your favorability will soar if you have substantial development in the future."

Xingshi said: "... Do you still remember that we are on the friendship line?"

The system said cheerfully: "Remember, we will go our own way and he will go his own way, it won't be a problem."

Xingshi turned a deaf ear and asked, "Will there be a record of changes in favorability?"

The system said, "Yes, you can watch it anytime you want."

It said thankfully, "Fortunately this thing cannot be shared, otherwise Lin Kecheng and the others would definitely want to watch it, and our first alliance would be exposed."

As it spoke, Feng Zifan and Yu Yi came over.

Xingshi then took action and met them halfway.

Yu Yi asked, "What did they say?"

Xingshi said, "Just an apology, nothing else. I asked them to apologize to you as well, and it should be fulfilled today."

Feng Zifan understood that Gu Zheng was plotting against Xingshi, and he and Yu Yi were the ones who were affected. It was just that one was hit and the other was not, and it was all due to the other's malice.

Yu Yi's eyes sparkled, and he said, "They told me that day."

Feng Zifan smiled and said, "That's different. You didn't know they did it on purpose at that time. They have to come formally once."

Yu Yi nodded in agreement.

Xing Shi had classes at school this afternoon, and he left the company after lunch.

But he didn't go to school, but went straight back to Fu Xiuning's home after class.

The system didn't understand: "What are you doing back?"

Xing Shi said, "Well, after a whole morning, I still feel deeply touched, and I want to recall the path I have walked."

The system said, "Ah?"

Xing Shi locked the door of the guest room, took a shower, changed into home clothes, blew his hair dry, went to bed quietly, closed his eyes, and sank into consciousness.

The system became more and more confused. Its host rarely lowered his consciousness. It asked cautiously, "What do you want to do?"

Xingshi said, "Look at the favorability record."

He sighed, "I remember the first time I looked into Fu Xiuning's eyes, the favorability was -4. Today it became 4. This is a milestone, worth recalling!"

The system said "Ah" in confusion, "Just... you trained so normally today, are you really so upset?"

Xingshi said, "Yeah!"

The system quickly opened the record, "Okay, take a look."

Xingshi pulled the progress bar to the beginning.

The record was simple: time, location, and favorability increase or decrease.

Initially -5, first encounter -4, and then -10.

The system watched with him and also sighed: "You said at the time that you lost points because you are more handsome than him, but it turns out that's not true. He fell in love with you at first sight. Look how intense the first struggle was!"

Xingshi's emotions spread in his heart, and he said "hmm".

Compared with the strange first encounter, he now understands Fu Xiuning better.

Fu Xiuning is cold in his bones and doesn't care about most things. It is extremely difficult for such a person to be attracted to others. This sudden -10 is not because someone is more handsome than him, nor does it seem like a struggle, but more like... disgust.

It's like disgust that arises from suddenly discovering something.

He continued to read on.

It was -8 when they met again, and it became -9 for some reason when they drank porridge, and it became -10 again in the company.

The system said, "Tsk, they are struggling again. From here on, it seems that it is not as intense as the first time. It is basically changing by one or two points."

Xing Shi said, "Because he couldn't resist my charm in the end."

But in his heart, he was thinking that Lin Kecheng was also at the scene that day, and then there was an assassination. Is -9 related to this?

As for this -10... He vaguely remembered that it was when he was getting out of the elevator, but he talked a lot every day, so he really didn't remember what he said.

He asked the system: "What is this -10?"

The system said: "I get angry when I mention this. You saved him, but he still deducted points from you!"

Xingshi said: "What did I do?"

The system said: "Nothing. You didn't look at him or talk to him!"

Xingshi pretended to ask casually: "Oh, then what was I doing at the time, chatting with you?"

The system said: "Yes, I also asked you if you wanted to bow your head to your father, remember?"

Xingshi remembered that the system thought he was training in class for his debut, but in fact he wanted to eat in a restaurant.

That night, Fu Xiuning suddenly asked him to have dinner, and his score rose to -9 in the parking lot, and then to -8 in Linlan Garden.

The system was excited: "This is the first time you held hands by accident, and you got points immediately!"

Xingshi said: "Yes, he fell in love with me at first sight!"

He remembered this, and it was because it was the first time they held hands that he was impressed and knew that they talked about Lin Kecheng.

It seems that from this day on, he and Fu Xiuning gradually came into contact more and more. Xingshi

read one by one, and the system also read one by one.

"He is definitely obsessed with looks, no doubt about it."

"I'll feed you small cakes, and I'll get points just by looking at you."

"Oh, calling me brother also gets points~"

Xingshi echoed, "Yes! That's right! He loves me!", and read the latest records all the way.

The system was happy: "Today's kiss!"

Xingshi thought to himself, yes, it was a coincidence.

He wanted to convince himself that this idea was absurd, but after reading all the records from another angle, he couldn't overturn this guess.

He felt that Fu Xiuning could probably hear the conversation between the host and the system.

If this guess was true, many things would be explained.

For example, their relationship was mediocre, but Fu Xiuning suddenly invited him to live with him.

For example, when the strategy was launched, Fu Xiuning was just a high school student with a happy family and a smooth life. Even if he was alienated, it was not difficult to approach

him. Although there are extreme hosts, there must be gentle ones. The strategy does not force the host to pursue a romantic relationship. With patience and appropriate tricks, it should be easy to make friends with high school students, but no one has succeeded in five years.

For example, he never understood why Fu Xiuning liked his face, but why the favorability value was lower than the initial value. After all

, the emotion of "like" is sometimes not very clear, but Fu Xiuning can, and it drops very quickly every time.

Now he understood.

Because Fu Xiuning knew that he was a time traveler, the more he clearly recognized the impact of this face on himself through the program broadcast, the more clearly he understood that the soul of the "original owner" had dissipated, like a thorn in his throat.

Xingshi looked at the record again.

All the points added for appearance were basically lost later. All

the points added for personality and intelligence were maintained, just like a little bit from -8 to the initial value of -5.

He looked at the record, as if he saw the whole process of this person resisting his appearance while admiring his soul.

Then why did Fu Xiuning suddenly figure it out later? What exactly was the document that the assistant gave him?

Seeing that he was silent, the system thought he was still sighing, and said: "Don't look at it, our hard days are over, and we will have good days in the future."

Xingshi said "hmm" and his consciousness broke away.

The system closed the record and said considerately: "It's time to finish the class anyway, so take a nap if you're tired."

Xingshi closed his eyes, thinking that he had to test Fu Xiuning. After all, guesses are just guesses and must be verified.

He slept for a while and returned to the company for dinner in the evening.

Feng Zifan and his friends had already arrived at the restaurant. They smiled and waved to him, sharing the latest gossip: "Yu Shu came to the training department today and bought us a lot of afternoon tea."

Although they were in the same company, the stars were busy working all over the place, and the trainees were training hard all day long. They rarely met each other. Occasionally, they were lucky enough to see one, and they were very excited.

But the focus of today was not this.

A classmate came over and said, "Brother Yu hasn't finished filming his scene yet. He said he had a notice this morning, so he took a day off. He will be back to the crew in the evening. He came to our training department to express his condolences even though

he was in such a tight schedule. What does this mean?" Xingshi thought that after Yu Shu had tried to gain the favor of Fu Xiuning, he came to try to win the favor of his younger brother. Unfortunately, he didn't let the system check if he was there before doing so, so he came back empty-handed.

He humbly asked, "What do you want to explain?"

The man looked mysterious and said, "Think about it. Since we started training, only two people have sent us gifts. One is Brother Qi and the other is him. Brother Qi is the boss, so it's normal for him to come and see us. Brother Yu has never been a trainee, so why did he come to see us?"

Xingshi was even more humble, "Why?"

The man said, "Hey, do you remember the bet we made? Brother Yu has a crush on someone in the company, so we guessed if that person would be Brother Qi? He heard that Brother Qi came to see us, so he followed in his footsteps. "He also came here."

Xingshi thought about it logically and said, "That makes sense."

The system said, "He came to see you, right?"

Xingshi said, "Well, is he gone?"

The system checked, "He's gone, but he's almost finished. The variety show that will follow will be recorded every other time. He should come to see you again. What do you want to do?"

Xingshi said leisurely, "No hurry. His name has been exposed. Other hosts will pay attention to him to some extent. It will be enough to give him a headache for a while."

Compared to this, Fu Xiuning's matter is more concerning.

Xingshi finished the class patiently and couldn't wait to go back.

Fu Xiuning was still sitting in the seat where he usually sat. When he saw him come back, he glanced at him.

Xingshi was sweating from the training. He said hello and went to take a shower. When he came out, he saw that the other party was reading a book. Suddenly, he remembered a detail: he came back yesterday and knew that Lin Kecheng was probably going to eavesdrop on him. He called the boss when he entered the door. At that time, Fu Xiuning was playing with his mobile phone. When he came out again, Fu Xiuning had switched to reading and the mobile phone was placed in the bedroom to charge.

He had doubts in his heart, and now everything he saw seemed like evidence.

He pressed this state, walked over naturally, sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, and leaned forward a little: "Brother, what book do you read every day?"

He reached out to look at the cover, and his fingers touched each other's. After looking down and seeing the title of the article, he took it back without caring.

The system took in the whole scene and was immediately excited. After waiting for a few seconds expectantly, it asked in confusion: "Why no points? It clearly touched my hand!"

Xingshi said: "Maybe it's because it only touched a little?"

The system said: "But you all got points for sticking to each other!"

Xingshi said: "Hmm... Could it be that he saw my movements with his peripheral vision and was mentally prepared? It seems that our last two times happened by accident."

The system suddenly realized: "It seems so."

Fu Xiuning closed the book and looked at him, and asked gently: "How was the training today?"

Xingshi was well behaved. Answer: "That's it, a little progress every day."

He looked at the other person, and continued the topic in his mind, and threatened him face to face: "You see, he used to struggle back and forth because of my face. The whole person is a big awkward, so he probably doesn't like others to touch him actively, and only likes accidental contact."

The system is very confident in the IQ of its host: "That's right!"

It immediately suggested: "Why don't you try some accidental contact?"

Fu Xiuning asked with a brotherly attitude: "What's the reaction of the person who plotted against you last time being temporarily replaced? Agree? Guessed it was because of you?"

Xingshi said: "I guessed it. They came to me today to apologize and their attitude was okay."

He pressed again: "If I don't try, I'll look like a green tea. Let's just leave it like that. He loves me anyway."

The system said: "Okay, let's be steady."

Xingshi said: "Well, let's take it slow. Who makes him so awkward? He loves me but doesn't pursue me. He likes me but resists me. No wonder he hasn't had a relationship for so many years. Alas, it's a pity that I'm on the friendship line and he has to be single."

Fu Xiuning's expression didn't change at all. Then he got down to business: "Yu Shu has seen you today. He is pursuing me. He will approach you later when he finds out that you are my brother."

Xing Shi nodded: "I heard from them that he came to the training department in the afternoon. I was in school at the time and didn't meet him."

He asked curiously: "Brother, have you rejected everyone who pursued you?"

Fu Xiu Ning did not answer but asked: "Have you ever accepted anyone who pursued you before?"

Xing Shi had the information of the "original owner" and replied: "No."

Fu Xiu Ning said "hmm", which was considered an answer to his previous question.

Xing Shi continued to nag: "You see, you really don't like others to take the initiative."

The system said, "Is it possible that he has high standards like the original owner?"

Xingshi said, "It's possible."

The system said again, "So only someone like you can make him fall in love at first sight!"

Xingshi said, "I can't help it. Who made me handsome? You said he is so passive. Maybe he will repent after I get married. Then he will drink and cry at the wedding. Not only will others not know his pain, but they will also think he is... I am happy for my brother's happiness, and I try to comfort him that it is a great joy!"

Fu Xiuning: "..."

Xingshi saw that he still had the same expression, and moved closer: "Brother, have you ever fallen in love with someone else?"

Fu Xiuning looked at him and said softly: "Don't be so curious, go to bed early."

Xingshi said: "No, it's a long night, can we chat? I am your brother."

Fu Xiuning was unmoved, took the book and got up to leave, ready to go back to his room.

Halfway through, he heard the system crying.

The system said, "No, no, no, this is too bad! I can't accept it. Otherwise, don't invite him when you get married in the future!"

Xingshi watched Fu Xiuning walk back to the room without stopping, and then agreed, "Okay, don't invite him."

He didn't find any flaws tonight, and guessed that it might be because Fu Xiuning was used to hearing the host and the system crickets, and had already practiced it.

He didn't get discouraged and planned to continue to be powerful.

So for the next three days, he found a speed that would not arouse suspicion, and reasonably guided the topic to press people in person. Seeing that Fu Xiuning was still calm, he decided to reveal the explosive news.

The house is big enough, and the distance from the living room to the kitchen is far.

Xingshi didn't know what the range of Fu Xiuning's hearing was, but it didn't delay trying.

He opened the refrigerator and looked at the juice inside. He said to the system, "Do you think Lin Kecheng will get desperate one day and want me to give Fu Xiuning drugs?"

The system didn't know why he suddenly talked about this, and said, "It's possible? He's so bad."

Xingshi took out two bottles of juice with different flavors, walked to Fu Xiuning and handed one bottle. He watched him take a sip, and then called the system again, "What do you think Lin Kecheng asked me to give you?"

Fu Xiuning heard it clearly and couldn't help but pause.

Xingshi smiled and took the juice from his hand: "Does this taste good? Let me taste it."

He also took a sip under the other party's gaze, and heard the system reply: "Anything is possible, but you definitely won't help him. Why do you make such an assumption?"

Xingshi said, "Just curious."

He stretched out his hand and handed the juice back.

Fu Xiuning looked up, and their eyes met.

System: "!!!"

It was simply horrified: "Just because you drank a sip of his juice! What a psycho!"

Xingshi was not surprised at all. Put yourself in

his shoes. If he had been hunted for five years, and suddenly one day a host discovered that he could hear this kind of sound, his first reaction would definitely be to kill him. This is a survival instinct.

His hand loosened, and the juice fell immediately.

Fu Xiuning stretched out his hand, and Xingshi's hand fell.

Both of them ignored the juice and "accidentally" held each other in the air.

Xingshi looked at him, his eyes calm and firm.

Fu Xiuning looked at him, and his usually gentle eyes became extremely deep.

The next moment, the two of them shook hands back almost simultaneously.
