Bai Weiran lowered his head and fastened the diamond bracelet onto Qing Ning's wrist. With her fair and delicate wrist, the bracelet sparkled alongside the diamonds, creating a stunning combination.
Qing Ning softly scolded him.
"You stupid Black Jack, you almost lost my bracelet."
"What's wrong with it? How did I almost lose it?" Bai Weiran replied with a smile as he fastened the delicate clasp.
"Because you're not the real Black Jack, you're fake!"
"Of course I'm fake. Did you really believe I was real?"
"Of course I believed you were real, or else I wouldn't have made a bet. Did you think I would bet on a game that I would definitely lose?" Qing Ning now completely denied the earlier telepathic connection, turning around to attack Bai Weiran.
"You almost lost my bracelet."
Are you looking for a fight?
Bai Weiran smiled lightly. "Almost, but not quite."
"You still have to compensate me."
"Compensate you for what?"
"Dance with me." Qing Ning's tone was domineering.
"Sure, now?"
"No, you owe me a dance. Dance with me when I feel like it someday."
Bai Weiran remained noncommittal.
Perhaps that day would never come, and he would disappear after completing his mission.
The music started again, and Qing Ning wanted to drag Bai Weiran to dance, but Bai Weiran couldn't take his eyes off the food on the side.
In order to attend this dance on time, he had asked for an hour off from work and left before 6 o'clock. He hadn't eaten dinner, and now he was very hungry. Seeing the buffet of food and the chefs freshly barbecuing beef, the aroma wafting through the air made his mouth water uncontrollably.
Qing Ning only wanted to dance, but she didn't want Bai Weiran to go hungry, so she followed him.
This mask of The mask didn't actually exist.
A thin layer of disguise that didn't hinder his ability to eat, like a layer of fog.
They walked towards the table, but Bai Weiran couldn't take his eyes off the roasted beef. Just as he was about to approach with a plate, someone stepped in front of him.
Dressed in red, it was Luo Luo.
After being humiliated in public earlier, Ling Luo was full of anger and had been closely watching their movements. When she saw the two approaching the table, she immediately followed and arrogantly took the lead.
"What a coincidence, you also want to eat the roasted beef?" she said, extending her hand. Before they understood what was happening, the chef's knife was in her hand, spinning around with a silver glow. With a swift motion, the beef fell apart like paper.
Luo Luo continued to cut, her gaze fixed on Bai Weiran, as if she was seeing him in that piece of meat and viciously slicing it.
Qing Ning became alert, pulling Bai Weiran close. In the blink of an eye, his once bright eyes lost their light.
Luo Luo continued to cut more than ten slices and handed them to Bai Weiran, her eyes fierce.
"...Here, do you want it?"
Looking at the neatly arranged slices of beef on the plate, anyone would feel a sense of fear.
Bai Weiran thought, fortunately I'm not considered human right now, I'm a superhero.
"Thank you." He calmly accepted the offer, leaving Luo Luo dumbfounded.
He even ate a piece on the spot.
Luo Luo looked at his mask, unable to comprehend what kind of advanced technology made the food disappear like mist.
"The taste is really good, the knife work greatly improved the flavor of this piece of meat," Bai Weiran praised.
"I've heard that even good meat needs skilled knife work. With quick and decisive cuts, it reduces the number of knife manipulations, and the cuts are as smooth as a mirror, sealing in the juices. This is the most delicious roast beef I've ever had."
Luo Luo: ...?
I came here to assert dominance, but he ate up my dominance and praised it as delicious?
Is it me who's sick, or is it the world?
Luo Luo, lacking in combat strength, retreated in defeat.
"It really is delicious. Doesn't she like being praised?" Bai Weiran sighed.
A girl who had been harshly criticized and lacked love since childhood, she longed for love but also feared getting close to it. Unable to accept kindness from others, she unfortunately encountered an arrogant king of the underworld and was left hanging from a crooked tree.Qing Ning was not happy.
"Our chef at the Qin family can also make it, and it tastes even better. If you want, I can make it for you next time."
Bai Weiran gladly agreed.
Is this considered a perk at work?
"It's really delicious, try it." He picked up a piece and handed it to Qing Ning, friendly and natural, without any defenses.
Qing Ning didn't want to eat beef cut by another woman!
But she stared at the fork handed to her by Bai Weiran, snorted softly, and didn't reach out to take it. She lowered her head and opened her mouth.
"Why don't you take it yourself?"
"Hmph! I don't want to."
She chewed on it - it's true that the chef at her own family made it better.
After one guest left, another one arrived. They were chatting here when Lan Xianzi came over with a tall glass.
"The games you came up with are very interesting, making the ball more lively."
Bai Weiran was still chewing on the beef and hadn't spoken yet when Qing Ning interrupted.
"Thank you for the compliment. It's just a pity that the game was interrupted and I didn't give out my prize. It's so boring."
Bai Weiran glanced at Qing Ning and continued chewing the beef, remaining silent for a moment.
"We all came to the ball to have fun. It doesn't make sense for us to give out prizes ourselves, and the bracelet looks better on Miss Ning Ning's hand." As soon as Lan Xianzi spoke, it was clear that she was sophisticated, handling the situation better than anyone else.
"Miss Ning Ning, forgetting the old when there's someone new, it's really sad." Lan Xianzi sighed.
"Xiao Luo will be sad. He looks strong on the surface, but he's actually very softhearted."
"You know it too."
Qing Ning fell silent for a while, and Lan Xianzi continued.
"People's feelings change, it's normal. Xiao Luo is softhearted, so he can't refuse anyone's requests. He wants to love, but he's afraid, so he can only choose to be gentle with everyone… You know, he is very kind."
"Um, excuse me." Bai Weiran interrupted.
"I have a suggestion."
"Don't fight amongst yourselves. Whether he is kind or not, gentle or not, free to follow his heart. My suggestion is to stop fighting."
"The woman who has no ability runs to solve issues with other women, while the woman with ability deals with men. What use is there for you to come here and say all this?"
There is a very important part of the Yandere Girl course.
Yandere girls will want to go after all the opposite sex around their beloved person, with an extremely strong attack power beyond normal people.
Qing Ning used to be a Yandere girl. Although she seemed to have improved on the surface, she was still easily provoked by jealousy and had a dark psychology.
Saying it out loud, sometimes she doesn't actually love that person as much, but constantly reinforces the idea of loving them and then becomes jealous of everyone close to him - when women fight amongst themselves, men can just relax and do nothing.
Bai Weiran had a suggestion from his conscience.
—Why don't you form a team to deal with that man?
Either make him obedient or make him go away.
Don't bother me, I'm beautiful alone.
Lan Xianzi was stunned by this kind of argument for the first time, and then she laughed.
"A very interesting argument... Thank you for your suggestion."
"There's another performance later that will definitely be more fun and lively than the game. You two can enjoy it more."
Lan Xianzi bid farewell to the two, turned around, and her mouth straightened.
Those who understand the reason know it, but she was still unhappy that someone bullied Ling Luo. Seeing Ling Luo's pale and gloomy appearance, a protective tenderness arose in her.
So she will help Ling Luo regain his face later.
Bai Weiran watched her leave and thought: Those who understand the reason are few who can truly listen.
No wonder this system will not choose Lan Xianzi, Qi Xi, Luo Luo, and others.
Because you can never wake a person pretending to be asleep. The system only helps those who can be awakened.
Thinking of this, he put down his plate and reached out to Qing Ning with a gentle smile.
"Let's go, let's dance."
Qing Ning smiled and held his hand, complaining with her mouth, "Hmph... all I can smell is the smell of grilled meat!"
