Chapter 6
The next day, Zuo Bian picked out the thickest and most concealing outfit from her enormous wardrobe, only to be met with the system’s disapproval.
【Host, this outfit won’t do.】
“Why not?”
【Flip through the Green Tea Handbook and see what the Clothing section says.】
Zuo Bian followed 555’s instructions and found the Clothing section in the Green Tea Handbook. It read: No need to flaunt sexiness excessively. Avoid miniskirts, leopard print, and plunging necklines. Choose clothes that are pure in style but can subtly reveal your cleavage. Hint at it, seduce subtly.
“Cleavage?” Zuo Bian understood what “career” meant and what “line” meant, but she didn’t know what they meant together.
*事
555 was rapidly processing information. How could it explain the meaning of “cleavage” to Zuo Bian clearly while avoiding being caught by the censors?
【Cleavage is, it’s like, look down, the valley between the two mountains is your cleavage!】
Zuo Bian obediently looked down, her gaze landing on her slippers. “Where are the mountains?”
【5555555… I’m struggling so much, I need a Martian(Slang) language translator. Forget it, I’ll just pick out the clothes for you. That light purple dress on the left looks good.】
Zuo Bian picked up the dress and put it on. Standing in front of the mirror, she subconsciously covered her chest.
“It feels a bit chilly.”
The light purple knee-length slip dress was covered with a thin white lace. Her skin was porcelain white and delicate, and the small patch of exposed skin was dazzlingly white.
The dress was tailor-made for Zuo Bian, perfectly outlining her slender waist and revealing her straight, fair legs and slender neck.
Zuo Bian naturally possessed an ethereal aura, with delicate and beautiful features. Such a light color complemented her temperament perfectly. Especially when paired with her clear and innocent eyes, she looked like a fairy who had mistakenly entered the mortal world.
【Perfect, perfect, let’s hurry up and go out. Qin Tian will be finishing school in an hour.】
“Mm-hmm.”
Zuo Bian said she wanted to take a walk near No. 2 Middle School and then smoothly got into the car and left.
When they arrived at the gate of No. 2 Middle School, it was only 11:30. Qin Tian said their school finished at 11:40, so they had to wait for another ten minutes.
【Host, I see Chang Wenyan!】
“Huh?” Zuo Bian looked out the car window, her gaze sweeping around but failing to find a focal point.
“But who is Chang Wenyan?”
【Chang Wenyan is the one who called Qin Ai last time and you answered the phone. He’s the male lead!】
“He’s actually the male lead? Will I be at a disadvantage competing with the male lead for the female lead? Generally, the male and female leads in stories are destined to be together by the author.”
555 wouldn’t tell Zuo Bian that it was the one who ‘chose’ this male lead.
【Don’t worry about that. The author is very humane and won’t favor the male lead. You are on equal footing. Whether you can win over the female lead Qin Ai depends entirely on your own abilities.】
Of course, this was also a lie. 555 didn’t know who the author favored, but it knew that the Heavenly Dao favored the pairing of Zuo Bian and Qin Ai.
It, 555, was from the Destined Love group. Every mission was assigned by the Heavenly Dao, and there was no reason for it to fail. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so reckless as to accept the bet with 504 and use the identity of a Green Tea Bitch to conquer the female lead.
“Then I’m relieved.”
【Host, you must have confidence in yourself. You have a gender advantage. Think about it, if a man suddenly hugged you, wouldn’t you dodge? But it would be different if it were a girl, right? You can be good sisters with the female lead and take the opportunity to hug and kiss her.】
“Mm, 555, you’re right. The handbook also says to establish a sisterly relationship with her, saying that it allows for both offense and defense.” As she spoke, Zuo Bian took out the Green Tea Handbook from her bag and read it again.
“It also says to emphasize being a sworn sister. Okay, I’ll remember that.”
【Host, it’s almost 11:40, school is about to finish. Ah! The female lead is here, quickly get out of the car.】
Zuo Bian hurriedly got out of the car, but because she was in a rush, she fumbled with the seatbelt several times before unbuckling it. By the time she got out of the car, Chang Wenyan had already reached Qin Ai’s car first.
Although the distance wasn’t far, the gate of No. 2 Middle School opened, and middle school students with backpacks rushed out one after another. The sounds of chatting, footsteps, and shouts mingled together.
Zuo Bian wanted to reach Qin Ai and Chang Wenyan, but she was blocked by the students coming and going.
“Ai Ai, why did you let someone else answer the phone last time?” Chang Wenyan questioned Qin Ai.
Qin Ai crossed her arms, her expression showing no obvious fluctuation, as indifferent as usual.
“Don’t call me so intimately, it’s disgusting.” Qin Ai spat out a few words from her thin red lips.
Chang Wenyan’s words went in one ear and out the other, completely ignoring Qin Ai’s words.
“Let’s have lunch together. My mother wants to see you.”
Qin Ai had no interest in love, and she looked down on so-called business marriages even more.
“None of my business.” Even though she was speaking such harsh words, Qin Ai still appeared beautiful, elegant, and arrogant. She walked straight past Chang Wenyan, who was blocking her way, and towards Zuo Bian, who had only managed to walk a few meters.
“Why are you only here now?” Qin Ai took the initiative to hold Zuo Bian’s hand.
Zuo Bian subconsciously looked up at Qin Ai, momentarily stunned and unable to react to what was happening.
Why did Qin Ai act as if they were very familiar with each other?
555 excitedly looked at their clasped hands, feeling that this progress was very much to its liking. But when it looked at the progress bar, 1.1%, emmm…
Qin Ai’s hand was a bit cold, her fingertips slightly chilly. Zuo Bian held Qin Ai’s hand back, wanting to warm it up.
After walking a few steps, Qin Ai led Zuo Bian to Chang Wenyan. Chang Wenyan’s gaze fell on their clasped hands.
Chang Wenyan hadn’t forgotten the content of the phone call last time, but he didn’t believe that Qin Ai would like women.
How could someone like Qin Ai fall for this kind of delicate, weak-looking vase who only knew how to act cute? Qin Ai should be with someone like him. If they joined forces, they could definitely build a business empire.
“Ai Ai, who is this lady?” Chang Wenyan looked at Zuo Bian with hostility, even though she was beautiful.
Remembering that this handsome but rude man was the male lead mentioned by 555, Zuo Bian immediately put on her clumsy acting skills, clinging to Qin Ai’s arm softly. “He looks so fierce, does he not like me?”
Qin Ai gently patted the back of Zuo Bian’s hand. “I believe Mr. Chang isn’t the kind of person who would make things difficult for a young lady. Mr. Chang, am I right?”
Chang Wenyan felt a surge of anger in his stomach. How was he making things difficult for anyone? It was as if he was being portrayed as a mean and petty man.
And that woman was obviously acting. How could Qin Ai believe such fake acting? She really was blinded by beauty, believing everything that woman said.
“Ai Ai, can’t you see that this woman is pretending?”
Qin Ai’s lips curved into a rare smile. “Chang Wenyan, don’t be unreasonable, you’re scaring her.”
Zuo Bian delivered a classic Green Tea line: “He seems to have misunderstood us. Did I do something wrong?”
Qin Ai played along. “No, you’re fine.”
【Location: Gate of No. 2 Middle School
Time: 11:45
Characters: Female lead Qin Ai, Green Tea Zuo Bian, Bitch Identifier Chang Wenyan
Conflict: Green Tea pretends to be weak and leads the female lead to speak up for her. The male lead sees through the Green Tea’s trick, but the female lead doesn’t believe him and instead accuses him of being unreasonable.
Comment: Host, you’re awesome! Keep up the good work!】
“Sister! Sister!” Qin Tian, carrying a heavy backpack, ran towards them.
Qin Tian was only thirteen years old, still a bean sprout, looking soft and cute, with a fair face and big, round eyes. Seeing that his sister had really come to pick him up, Qin Tian immediately beamed, his big eyes seeming to sparkle.
“Let’s go, let’s go home for dinner.” Qin Ai took the heavy bag from Qin Tian’s back.
Zuo Bian naturally followed them into the car, while Chang Wenyan, who was fuming, was completely ignored.
“This older sister is so beautiful, like a fairy. Fairy sister, what’s your name?” Qin Tian looked at Zuo Bian with bright eyes, his expression full of innocent curiosity.
The innocent and cute Qin Tian and the cold and beautiful Qin Ai really didn’t look like siblings. The only similarity was probably their names.
Zuo Bian replied, “Hello, my name is Zuo Bian.”
“Are you Don’tTalkToMe?!” Qin Tian almost jumped up in the car, but luckily the seatbelt held him back.
For a junior high school student who kept up with the ‘latest trends’, understanding Martian language was a basic skill.
Qin Ai, who was driving, almost took a wrong turn.
“Yes, that’s me.” Zuo Bian nodded.
“Ahhhhhhhh! I can’t believe I met the real great god! We can play games together on weekends! I have a lot of game consoles at home, but my sister never plays with me.” Qin Tian and Qin Ai were also very different in terms of how much they talked.
Zuo Bian was also interested in those games. She nodded. “Okay.”
“Don’t be obsessed with playing games.” Qin Ai interjected.
Qin Tian, who was just moments ago excited beyond words, immediately sat down obediently and restrained his exaggerated expression. “Okay, I’ll finish my homework before playing games.”
Qin Ai: “Mm.”
But soon Qin Tian couldn’t hold back his excitement and started chatting with Zuo Bian again.
And so, Qin Ai drove, while Zuo Bian and Qin Tian, two cuties, one big and one small, chatted away. One spoke earnestly, and the other listened attentively.
If the car hadn’t stopped, these two could have continued chatting.
Zuo Bian unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she heard Qin Ai’s voice.
“Consider me owing you a favor today. If you need any help in the future, you can come to me.” Qin Ai leaned against the car door, her eyelids half-lifted as she looked at Zuo Bian.
Zuo Bian smiled. “It’s okay, I helped you willingly.”
Qin Ai raised her chin, her gaze landing on the bag in Zuo Bian’s hand. “Your phone is ringing.”
“Oh.” Zuo Bian quickly opened her bag and took out her phone. It was a call from her bodyguard, asking where she was.
“I’m with Miss Qin, I’m at her house now.”
The bodyguards knew about Qin Ai. The Qin family and the Zuo family were both behemoths of the same level, and their businesses didn’t overlap much, so they wouldn’t do anything to Zuo Bian. Therefore, the bodyguards weren’t too worried, they just said they would come to pick up Zuo Bian later.
“If you don’t mind, stay for dinner.” After saying that, Qin Ai turned and walked inside.
Qin Tian, who had just run off, ran back again. “Older Sister Zuo, come quickly! The food our aunt cooks is delicious!”
“Okay.” Zuo Bian quickly followed.
