After finishing her meal, Lu Youyou moved to the restaurant counter to settle the bill, while Xu Lie remained seated, not budging an inch. He had already accepted the invitation to treat, so it was only natural that he wouldn’t compete with Lu Youyou over who would pay.
Once Lu Youyou slipped away a short distance, she stealthily hid behind a pillar. After confirming that Xu Lie couldn’t see her, she felt a sense of satisfaction as she clasped her hands over her belly and let out a long sigh of relief. This was her little habit after enjoying a delicious meal; it always lifted her spirits. If she didn’t do it, she felt like something was missing.
Her sister had told her that this habit had been formed since childhood, and Lu Youyou had no intention of changing it. After all, it didn’t harm her image as a lady as long as no one else saw it.
Little did she know, the audience was buzzing with excitement online.
“After seven days of waiting, we finally get to see the fifth episode! My dear Youyou is so adorable!”
“Front row seats! Just arrived and already seeing something good.”
“I was really looking forward to how the Special Investigation Team would perform at the end of the episode, but now I just want to see Xu Lie and Lu Youyou!”
Xu Lie had no idea what Lu Youyou had done to excite the viewers so much. Gradually getting used to the time difference between the Script World and the audience, he showed no signs of being affected and simply sat quietly waiting for Lu Youyou to return.
Once Lu Youyou finished paying, she grabbed Xu Lie’s arm and suggested they take a post-meal stroll. Then she added playfully, “Xu Lie, let’s take a group photo!”
If he were a typical Bomber, he would have refused any request for image documentation as much as possible. However, Xu Lie was not an ordinary criminal; to him, it felt like just acting.
So he agreed without much thought. Lu Youyou didn’t mind the proximity between them at all; she nestled against his arm, ready to take a selfie.
“Xu Lie, smile for me! If I’m the only one smiling in the photo, I’ll look silly.”
He couldn’t bring himself to smile. Xu Lie usually treated others with indifference, but after spending several days together with Lu Youyou, there was less distance in their conversations: “How about you tell me a joke now? Make me laugh?”
“Don’t even start!” Lu Youyou retorted playfully as she playfully punched his arm with her left hand. “Don’t you know how tiring it is to hold my arm up like this?”
“I’ve set a timer for five seconds; hurry up and smile!”
Despite being punched, Xu Lie wasn’t one to back down easily: “With your violent tendencies, who would dare marry you?”
In his past life, such words would have been perfectly normal. But in this world, they carried a completely different meaning.
Lu Youyou was initially puzzled by his comment about marriage. What did he mean by “who would dare marry”? Everyone’s future partner was predetermined.
Then realization struck her—if Xu Lie succeeded in his revenge and changed the Marriage Law, wouldn’t that mean freedom in marriage?
If there were freedom in marriage, then perhaps Xu Lie’s earlier remark was hinting that if she weren’t so violent, he might consider marrying her.
A strange emotion that Lu Youyou had never felt before began to spread within her heart.
Click.
Lu Youyou snapped back to reality, realizing that the five-second timer had already taken the photo. Instinctively, she pulled her arm back and examined the image closely.
On the phone screen, the boy wore a mischievous grin, as if mocking the girl’s boldness, while her cheeks flushed like she had just downed a strong drink.
It turned out that the seemingly indifferent guy from earlier could actually smile! Lu Youyou felt a wave of satisfaction wash over her at this thought.
【Ahhh! This candid shot is so beautiful!】
【I can't hold back anymore. Does anyone have the contact number for the Special Investigation Team? I’m reporting Xu Lie, that winner, right now.】
【I’m totally shipping this!!】
Ignoring the festive barrage of comments, Lu Youyou was curious about how Xu Lie would react: “Let me see!”
