Chapter 87: Since She’s Infatuated, Her Boyfriend’s Madness Doesn’t Matter (19)

Perhaps it was because he wore colored contact lenses; his pair of dark green eyes swept over the guests in the living room as if he were searching for the reckless soul most deserving of being torn apart and consumed as prey.

[This man has been staring at my Yaoyao for two seconds already. Is he planning to steal my girlfriend?]

[That guy is smiling at Yaoyao so lewdly—should I just kill him?]

[No, I prefer even numbers. Let me kill another person to make it even.]

[Tsk, I remember that one. When Yaoyao was eating in the school cafeteria, he looked at her twice.]

[Why are there so many people in this world trying to break me and Yaoyao apart!]

[Ah!]

[So annoying!]

[Maybe I should just kill them all!]

Dongfang Xuan, whose mind was already clouded, felt a chill run through his body.

Lu Sheng was very quiet. No one knew how he managed it; the tail behind him swayed gently. Standing behind Bai Yao, he was like a true wolf, but when Bai Yao turned to look at him, he smiled with curved eyes and instantly transformed into a loyal puppy.

Seeing that Lu Sheng was adapting well, Bai Yao beamed at the guests in the living room and exclaimed, “Welcome to my party!”

Welcome to the party of death.

Dongfang Xuan automatically translated Bai Yao’s words into something terrifying. He backed away repeatedly; in this house full of murderous intent, everyone else was cheering, while he alone remained lucid.

He felt utterly helpless!

Colorful lights intertwined brilliantly, music began to play, and all the guests dressed as monsters and demons started to move, lively and boisterous.

The star of the party was undoubtedly Bai Yao. Many gathered around her, showering her with compliments—naturally, many of them were young men.

He Cai, skilled in flattery from years of practice, squeezed through the crowd to the front, grabbed Bai Yao’s hand, and exclaimed exaggeratedly, “Yaoyao, you look gorgeous as Bloody Mary tonight!”

Bai Yao glanced at her. “I’m Little Red Riding Hood.”

He Cai wasn’t embarrassed; her words shifted smoothly, “I knew it! Who could be more beautiful than Little Red Riding Hood from the story? It’s got to be our Yaoyao!”

Bai Yao’s smile was radiant. “Cai Cai, you look very pretty today too!”

He Cai swept an almost imperceptible glance at Su Youyou in the corner and said sarcastically, “Unlike some people who intentionally dress so plainly, using their out-of-place look to attract attention.”

She truly embodied the evil stepmother from Cinderella tonight; her veiled barbs were sharp, making her the perfect villainous supporting character.

Su Youyou acted as if she hadn’t heard. She had plenty of ways to deal with these venomous women. Knowing He Cai cared about Dongfang Xuan, Su Youyou glanced at him cowering in the corner and walked toward him.

He Cai’s expression changed. Forget flattering Bai Yao; she lifted her skirt and marched over with determination.

A boy glanced meaningfully at the man beside Bai Yao. “Bai Yao, is this the boyfriend you found?”

His implication was clear—he didn’t look too impressive.

Lu Sheng seemed like a naïve sweetheart, oblivious to the malice in others’ words. He smiled amicably, “Hello, I’m Lu Sheng, Yaoyao’s boyfriend.”

Lu Sheng might “not catch on,” but Bai Yao certainly did.

She stepped in front of Lu Sheng, even though her petite frame could hardly shield him, and swept a critical gaze over the boy who’d spoken. Then she smiled, “I said guests could bring their partners tonight. Didn’t you bring your girlfriend?”

The boy was secretly delighted—was Bai Yao probing to see if he had someone he liked?

He cleared his throat and replied, “I don’t have a girlfriend yet.”

Bai Yao responded with an “Oh.” “With your looks, it’s no wonder you haven’t found one.”

Someone couldn’t help but laugh aloud.

The boy looked embarrassed but dared not argue with Bai Yao here. He shot a resentful glance at the people behind her, then walked away.

Thanks to his bold attempt, everyone else saw Bai Yao’s protection of Lu Sheng. These were clever folks, and as they talked to Bai Yao, they made sure to compliment Lu Sheng as well.

Afraid Lu Sheng would get bored, Bai Yao picked up a plate of strawberry cake, pulled him into the stairwell, placed the plate in his hands, and said, “You don’t have to stick with me all night. The neighbors are having fun—you can join them.”

Unfortunately, there was only one strawberry on the cake.

Lu Sheng brought the strawberry to Bai Yao’s lips. She took a bite, and then he tilted her chin up, lowered his head, and kissed her, gently prying open her lips with warmth.

Now both of them tasted the strawberry.

Lu Sheng tenderly licked away the juice from Bai Yao’s lips, murmuring, “I only want to play with Yaoyao.”

Bai Yao couldn’t help but reach up and touch his ears.

Knowing how much she liked them, he squinted comfortably at her, the brown tail behind him wagging gently. At that moment, he really was like a big puppy.

It was said the ramen shop owner had prepared these props for him. The craftsmanship was so good, the ears and tail looked real.

Lu Sheng had eaten away Bai Yao’s lipstick. He set the plate aside, took out a lipstick from his pocket, and planned to touch up her makeup.

Since they started dating, sometimes Bai Yao would finish her makeup before going out, but he couldn’t resist stealing kisses, ruining her carefully done lips.

So later, she refused to let him kiss her.

But Lu Sheng was clever when it mattered; as long as he fixed her lipstick, she wouldn’t be angry anymore.

He hadn’t managed to open the lipstick when Bai Yao suddenly leaped onto him, cradled his face, and kissed him fiercely. Her legs, clad in stockings, rubbed gently against him. “I want an exciting kiss!”

Lu Sheng supported her by the hips with one hand, cradled her head with the other, pulling her ever closer so they could indulge together, deliberately giving her the chance to invade and conquer.

Even when bitten, all it earned was his contented laughter.

“Yaoyao, make it even more exciting.”

He knew Bai Yao would love him dressed like this. Now, she didn’t just like it; she was utterly enthralled.

Maybe he could ask the ramen shop owner to prepare other props next time.

In a hidden corner, the big bad wolf and Little Red Riding Hood indulged themselves, while outside, the revelry continued as usual.

No one knew when the living room door had swung open.

Unable to stand He Cai’s sharp tongue, Su Youyou ran out of the hall in tears. As expected, she heard F3 criticizing He Cai, followed by the sound of several boys chasing after her.

Dongfang Xuan seemed traumatized, wandering in a daze; even when Su Youyou was “bullied” by He Cai, he did nothing.

Su Youyou thought she ought to find a chance to coax some information out of Dongfang Xuan, ask what was going on. After all, she’d benefited most from him before—he was gullible and loaded, and she wasn’t ready to give him up.

Playing the innocent flower? She was a pro.

“Meow~”

A sudden cat’s cry caught Su Youyou’s attention. She looked toward the sound and saw a black cat squatting on the gate, leisurely licking its paws.

Su Youyou glanced back at Bai Yao’s house, then at the one with the cat—this was Bai Yao’s neighbor’s home.

The black cat meowed again, low and eerie.

Su Youyou, full of affection, walked over, conveniently finding an excuse to wait for the boys to catch up.

Inside the living room.

The moment the door opened, Dongfang Xuan wasted no time grabbing He Cai and heading out. “Let’s get out of here.”

He Cai resisted. “What are you doing? I’m not going to apologize to her!”

It turned out that whenever He Cai and Su Youyou argued in the past, Dongfang Xuan would force He Cai to apologize. He Cai, too naïve to handle the scheming Su Youyou, had to swallow her pride and pretend to be nice.

But after seeing Bai Yao in a sweet romance lately, she was done compromising!

She just couldn’t stand Su Youyou!

Dongfang Xuan whispered, “It’s dangerous here. Come with me.”

He Cai didn’t believe him. “You just want to trick me outside so you can make me apologize to Su Youyou!”

Dongfang Xuan couldn’t recall when the little girl who used to follow him around as a child had stopped trusting him. In a panic, he hefted He Cai onto his shoulder and marched out.

He Cai yelped, then struggled furiously in embarrassment and anger. “Dongfang Xuan! What’s gotten into you?”

The audience inside the party gasped, “Wow, these childhood friends really know how to play.”

“Ding-dong,” came the sound of new messages from the “Friendly Neighborhood” group chat.

Xiao Xiong: [I’ve got guests at my place. So much fun!]

The residents all chimed in with a collective “Damn,” wondering why they never had such luck!
