Xia An was very satisfied.

The assisting NPC assigned to her by the system was very powerful, from his appearance to his behavior.

""

No wonder the system always said to her: “use it to your heart’s content”. He is definitely a top NPC.

Once Sheng Zhi Yan said this, everyone immediately didn’t dare to say that Xia An was not working in the kitchen anymore and changed the topic.

“Oh my, the few chefs worked hard today and made so many dishes.”

“Sister Wan Wan, did you make all these? So many, you’re so amazing!” The recently popular Jing Quan smiled and looked at Su Wan.

Su Wan saw the group’s eyes finally turned to her and smiled, “No, they are just some home-cooked dishes. I was afraid you guys wouldn’t like to eat.”

“How could that be? Sister Wan Wan is too modest. It must be extremely delicious!” Jian Quan unabashedly praised Su Wan, while glancing at Xia An with eyes of contempt.

Xia An understood.

Because of Sheng Zhi Yan’s words just now, this little male fan of Su Wan couldn’t directly mock her so he changed to the roundabout tactics.

Heh, childish!

You’re similarly also a human tool. It’s as if you’re competing to see who is more powerful.

Jiang Quan saw Xia An did not speak and was even more pleased. Excited, he was about to try Su Wan’s cooking, but was stopped by the production team.

The production team announced a new couple task: One partner feeds the other food.

Once this mission was announced, Jiang Quan’s face immediately turned black.

He had to watch Su Wan and Li Jing Qing being intimate.

At this moment, suddenly, he hated Xia An even more. Not only was she always targeting her Sister Wan Wan, but she was also incapable of capturing Li Jing Qing.

Xia An did not care at all.

The original owner had also experienced this. As soon as the original owner heard this mission, she immediately slammed the table and firmly opposed the intimate interaction between Su Wan and Li Jing Qing.

This caused the fans, who also equally hated Su Wan feeding Li Jing Qing, to suddenly unite and scolded Xia An for being nosy and praised Su Wan for being gentle and generous.

After all, Su Wan did not reveal any desires for Li Jing Qing. Fans naturally struck Xia An first.

When the original owner was scolded by the whole internet, Li Jing Qing also lectured her with a sullen face, “Xia An! Don’t be unreasonable!”

As Xia An thought about the original plot, she smiled with her lips pursed. She wouldn’t act unreasonably. She would watch from the sidelines.

After the mission was announced, Xia An immediately turned to Sheng Zhi Yan. “I’ll feed you.”

Her NPC helped her cook today, it was very tiring!

She was so enthusiastic that she immediately drew everyone’s attention, especially Li Jing Qing, who looked at her with an increased level of inquisitiveness.

Xia An’s hand movements paused, she knew her persona had collapsed.

She immediately changed her expression and looked at Li Jing Qing aggrieved. Then, she looked at Su Wan and Li Jing Qing again with endurance in her eyes.

She appeared to be very reluctant to see the interaction of Su Wan and him. But she also held it in, not wanting to trouble him.

With the good-looking face of Xia An, the effect was immediately at its highest.

Li Jing Qing felt melancholy for a moment.

Xia An was really quite well behaved these days.

“Jing Qing.” A gentle voice pulled Li Jing Qing away from his thoughts. He turned his head to find Su Wan calling him.

Su Wan looked shy and smiled. “Then I’ll feed you, but don’t be disdainful of me.”

Li Jing Qing came back to his senses. “How would I?”

On the other side, Xia An saw that Li Jing Qing did not look at her and felt at ease. She reached out and patted the back of Sheng Zhi Yan’s chair. “Sit a little closer.”

Sheng Zhi Yan looked at the hand and pulled the chair closer without saying a word.

Just when the chair moved closer, Xia An inched towards him. Xia An fluttered her eyelashes and lightly snorted. With her voice picking up at the end, she said: “I will feed you~.”

She had a little smug expression, as if it was a great honour for her to feed him.

Sheng Zhi Yan did not speak throughout, he only observed the expression of the young girl.

He realised that as long as Li Jing Qing looked over, the young girl looked like she was enduring humiliation.

It was quite interesting.

On the other end, Su Wan and Li Jing Qing were also getting a lot of attention.

On this night, Su Wan cooked a lot of food. Naturally, she wanted to show off and show Li Jing Qing that she was much better than Xia An in this area.

With her chopsticks, she passed one of her best dishes to Li Jing Qing’s mouth.

For some unknown reason, Li Jing Qing’s gaze uncontrollably wandered to Xia An.

It was mainly because Xia An’s voice was too sweet. Even though she wasn’t speaking about anything substantial to Sheng Zhi Yan, it did cause people to pay her attention.

It was as if she was acting coquettishly.

In this state of mind, Li Jing Qing opened his mouth defenselessly. He unknowingly swallowed the food forcefully. In the next moment, he coughed like crazy.

“Cough, cough, cough! Cough, cough, cough!” Li Jing Qing’s face was red from coughing. In a panic, he grabbed a glass of water and took a big gulp.

This startled Xia An. She subconsciously looked over and met Li Jing Qing’s gaze. Xia An opened her mouth and asked, “What’s wrong?”

At that moment— somehow— Li Jing Qing suddenly felt that he had finally caught Xia An’s attention. He subconsciously replied, “Salty.”

Su Wan’s face blanched instantly.

When Jiang Quan heard it, he was fuming. “How could that be?! The food Sister Wan Wan made is so delicious!”

He wanted to look good in front of Su Wan, so he immediately picked up his chopsticks to grab a large portion of vegetables and stuffed it into his mouth.

The next second, he covered his mouth. With a contorted expression, he said, “No. It’s not salty. It’s not salty at all.”

Not only was it salty, but it was also sweet!

【Beep—Bad Luck Value reduced by five. 962 remaining.】

Xia An shuddered as she watched the bustling scene.

Oh my. The female lead’s highlight moment is gone!

How could that be? In the original novel, the female lead made a huge showcase of her cooking skills. In this segment, she dug a lot of holes for the original owner, both in private and in the open.

It unexpectedly doesn’t taste good?!!

""

But Xia An didn’t care about it. When she witnessed enough of  the bustling scene, she turned around and handed the last portion of food to Sheng Zhi Yan. With a sweet voice, she said with a hint of dominance, “Open your mouth.”

Sheng Zhi Yan was looking at Li Jing Qing and the others. When reminded by Xia An, he turned around and opened his mouth.

Xia An put the food into his mouth. Through gritted teeth, she scolded him like a wild cat, “You’re too much for being unfocused!”

This interlude was perfunctorily brushed aside by everyone. Although the scene was awkward, everyone tacitly agreed not to discuss it.

Su Wan gripped onto her fingers tightly the entire time. She gritted her teeth and had to put on a look as if it was not salty.

After lunch, the guests went to take a lunch break.

Xia An and Sheng Zhi Yan went up to the third floor together. Just as they reached the third floor, Li Jing Qing’s voice sounded behind them, “An An.”

Xia An’s steps halted. She adjusted her expression and turned around. She looked at Li Jing Qing with a surprised expression and she sounded very joyful, “Brother Jing Qing had come to find me!”

Behind her back, her small hand swiftly grabbed the corner of Sheng Zhi Yan’s clothes.

That meant: You’re not allowed to leave! As my NPC, you have to accompany me through difficult times!

Sheng Zhi Yan looked at the white and tender hand, he stopped in his tracks.

Li Jing Qing watched as the two walked together and was in a slightly annoyed mood.

In the past, Xia An was always pestering him.

He didn’t know what to say. He reflexively said, “Don’t trouble Su Wan. The program is all for the variety effect.”

Xia An rolled her eyes in her heart.

Who the hell cares!

But her persona couldn’t shatter, she could only act very aggrieved.

Xia An pursed her lips and looked very obedient. “I won’t, I’ll support whatever Brother Jing Qing does without any complaints.”

What a good white lotus flower[1] performance. Xia An felt that she was too outstanding.

When Li Jing Qing looked at how sensible she was, he suddenly felt he went too overboard. He quickly added, “I didn’t mean anything else. It’s just that you are doing very well recently.”

Xia An rolled her eyes again inwardly.

Aren’t I doing well because I didn’t bother you?

Xia An was annoyed, she didn’t want to waste her saliva on such a person. Her tiny hands in the back forcefully swayed Sheng Zhi Yan’s clothes.

It meant: NPC, are you even capable? It’s time for you to say something.

""

Sheng Zhi Yan looked at the restless hand and his lips curved. Finally, according to the little girl’s wishes, he said, “An An, can you come over?”

Xia An received the signal, her eyes immediately sparkled. She batted her eyelashes and bid farewell to Li Jing Qing reluctantly, “Brother Zhi Yan is looking for me because of something. Brother Jing Qing, I’ll go first.”

She appeared to have  no choice but to part after finally getting the chance to talk to Li Jing Qing.

When Li Jing Qing heard it, he immediately raised his head to look at Sheng Zhi Yan. With furrowed brows, he tried to analyse Sheng Zhi Yan’s motives.

Sheng Zhi Yan met his gaze in an indifferent and apathetic manner. He turned around and said indifferently, “Let’s go.”

Xia An obediently turned around, like a well-behaved little rabbit, and followed behind Sheng Zhi Yan.

When they arrived at Sheng Zhi Yan’s door, the door opened and closed. Xia An leaned her back against the door and finally couldn’t control her laughter.

“Hahahaha.” She leaned against the peephole like a scheming kitten who got away from doing evil, to see Li Jing Qing outside.

When she made sure Li Jing Qing left, she relaxed very comfortably on the sofa, making herself at home.

She looked around the entire room to make sure there were no cameras installed in Sheng Zhi Yan’s room. She felt at ease.

It seems that this place can be used as their secret base.

As Xia An recalled what happened today, she couldn’t help but turn her gaze to Sheng Zhi Yan— who was sitting opposite from her— with recognition and appreciation in her gaze.

Not bad. Not bad. She is very satisfied with this NPC.

Xia An thought of the “24-Hour Love” guest selection to be done again in the afternoon. She stretched her legs and discussed with Sheng Zhi Yan, “Remember to choose me for the couple selection this afternoon.”

When Sheng Zhi Yan heard this, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Yesterday afternoon, he heard a system-like alert and then, this young girl in front controlled him.

The scene at the time was the selection of choosing the Love Partner.

He did not know exactly what was going on, but being controlled was an extremely dangerous thing.

Sheng Zhi Yan slightly leaned back against the sofa. A pair of profound eyes looked at Xia An, seemingly not as clear and harmonious as before.

He slowly spoke, “What if I don’t?”

Xia An’s swaying feet suddenly stopped.

What?

You don’t?

Hmph, it seems that she treats this NPC so well that the other person forgot her identity.

""

NPC is being disobedient.

Xia An lifted her chin. She was not panicking at all in her heart.

It seems that she has to intimidate her little NPC forcefully.
