Ziruo is not Chuchu.
Although Chu Chu seems fierce, she's actually very easy to coax. As long as you understand her temperament, you can usually appease her with just a few words. Zi Ruo, on the other hand, is not so easy to coax.
First, she is quite clever and doesn't fall for many tricks. Second, she has a strong ability to observe, and she can't be fooled by lies that even she herself doesn't believe.
Especially now, with Chu Chu on the verge of exploding at any moment, trying to appease Zi Ruo is incredibly difficult. It's no less challenging than making He Yunxiao indifferent to beautiful women.
The current situation is that Ziruo wants the three people in the study to sit at the front of the desk, with herself sitting between He Yunxiao and Chu Xiaoxiao. Chu Chu, however, doesn't want to be near Fan Ziruo and wants to maintain the status quo.
He Yunxiao's own idea was to maintain the status quo.
He Yunxiao asked himself honestly. Maintaining the status quo wasn't because he wanted to get closer to Chu Chu and distance himself from Zi Ruo; it was simply because he was currently more eager to improve his strength. Sitting with Chu Chu would allow him to safely and legitimately pass on his skills.
If He Yunxiao missed the chance to hold hands with Chu Chu and transfer his skills in the study of the Fan family mansion, then it would be difficult for him to find another opportunity to spend so much time with Chu Chu in a day.
"Miss Ziruo..."
The words had barely left his lips when He Yunxiao felt Chuchu's small hand in his grasp becoming restless.
So he immediately changed his tune: "Miss Fan, I..."
These words had barely left his lips when He Yunxiao was met with a shocked, confused, and self-pitying gaze from Fan Ziruo.
"Young master, you..."
He Yunxiao himself certainly didn't want to address her so formally, but Chu Chu was particularly concerned about it, so there was nothing he could do.
He Yunxiao said, "Miss Fan, listen to me..."
Upon hearing the title "Miss Fan" again, Fan Ziruo's mood instantly soured.
Seeing the change in Ziruo's expression, He Yunxiao felt a sense of foreboding. Considering the fact that Nanzhu's wife currently had a 50% favorability rating, exceeding her previous 90%, Ziruo's favorability rating was currently stuck due to a "mental knot," but it was definitely more than 75 in reality.
It might already be above 80.
Although He Yunxiao knew that he could greatly influence Ziruo's emotions, he did not expect that a mere title could instantly change her mood from happy to sad.
This influence is simply terrifying; it's safe to say that Ziruo's mood is now completely shaped by her own.
When Fan Ziruo heard He Yunxiao address her as "Miss Fan" in such a formal manner, she was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
She said sadly, "Young master, to you, Ziruo has already become 'Miss Fan,' hasn't she?"
At this moment, He Yunxiao's mind was racing.
She definitely had to call her "Miss Fan". Chu Chu had just calmed down from her anger after being coaxed by herself. If she were to be called "Zi Ruo" or "Miss Zi Ruo" at this moment, Chu Chu would definitely explode again.
He Yunxiao experienced Chu Chu's bad temper again, which strengthened his resolve to find an opportunity to change her. But now was not the time to dwell on Chu Chu's temper; he needed to quickly calm down his younger sister, Zi Ruo.
With Chu Chu right next to him, he couldn't possibly communicate telepathically with his younger sister Zi Ruo.
What are some ways to subtly suggest a more intimate interpretation of "Miss Fan"?
He Yunxiao suddenly thought of "Fan Zi"!
"Fan Zi" is a secret known only to her younger sister Zi Ruo and herself.
This will definitely work!
He Yunxiao deliberately adopted the persona of "He Xiao" written by Fan Ziruo, pretending to be honest, steady, and not fond of smiling. He said, "Miss Fan is clearly an extroverted person, so why do you have such a sad expression now? I thought you should be a cheerful person."
When Chu Chu heard He Yunxiao call out "Miss Fan," she didn't quite understand what he meant by what he said afterward, but she didn't care. As long as he stayed away from Fan Ziruo, she didn't care what he said.
After giving Fan Ziruo a cold look, Chu Chu focused more on transferring her skills and circulating her internal energy for He Yunxiao.
Fan Ziruo didn't understand what He Yunxiao was saying at first.
She knew her own personality well. Even though she could relax and joke around with He Yunxiao, it didn't quite reach the level of being described as "extroverted." It wasn't until the word "Xiao" appeared that Fan Ziruo suddenly understood, and she also understood why He Yunxiao had called her "Miss Fan" before.
It turns out that the young master was pretending to be the male and female protagonists in a novel with me.
Now that she understood, Fan Ziruo's gloomy mood vanished, her spirits lifted, and she felt as sweet as if she had eaten candy.
Fan Ziruo's favorability rating has increased from 75 to 75.
When He Yunxiao saw the system notification that was still stuck on the favorability rating, he knew that he had barely managed to avoid this ordeal for Chu Chu and Zi Ruo.
Fan Ziru smiled and said to He Yunxiao, "'Miss Fan' thought that the young master's coldness meant that he didn't like 'Miss Fan' anymore. But she didn't expect that she was not smart enough to understand the young master's meaning."
Chu Chu caught the key word "like". It turned out that part of the mind that had been focused on transferring and circulating the energy was now being drawn out again.
The little hand held by He Yunxiao also began to get a little restless.
He Yunxiao was naturally the one who cared most about Chu Chu.
Of all the known female leads, He Yunxiao truly can't handle Chu Chu and Xiao Xiao. As for the others, like his sulking wife Nan Zhu, even though their tantrum is quite serious, He Yunxiao could use his power in the Marquis's mansion to force her into marriage. He could then marry Nan Zhu and then slowly coax her into marriage.
Take, for example, the Antidote Girl. No matter how wicked or cunning she is, she's still just a weak woman with no strength to even kill a chicken. With He Yunxiao's martial arts skills, plus his deep understanding from reading novels that "villains die from talking too much," as long as He Yunxiao catches her, the game is over.
But He Yunxiao really couldn't handle Chu Chu and Xiao Xiao. He could only try to coax them, and even that wasn't always successful.
He Yunxiao immediately sensed Chu Chu's restless little hand and, of course, couldn't let the two female leads argue again.
He immediately pretended to be the introverted "He Xiao".
“Miss Fan, I am devoted to martial arts and have no interest in matters of love or romance.”
When Chu Chu heard He Yunxiao's direct and blatant rejection of Fan Ziruo, she didn't show any outward movement, only a slight upturn of the corners of her mouth. She also shifted her hand, which He Yunxiao was holding, to a more comfortable position for him to hold. Then she quieted down and continued transmitting her energy.
Fan Ziruo naturally knew that He Yunxiao was playing the role of "He Xiao", so she pretended to be "Fan Zi" and said generously, "When I said 'I like you,' it was just because you look handsome, and I didn't mean anything else."
He Yunxiao, playing the role of "He Xiao," said, "In that case, I will continue practicing. Miss Fan, please feel free to do as you please, just don't get too close to me, lest I hurt you while I'm practicing."
Upon hearing He Yunxiao's words, Fan Ziruo immediately abandoned any thought of changing seats and simply smiled and said, "Okay."
