Tried it but it didn’t workLin Yuan looked at Song Xiaoxiao in front of him.

At this moment, he didn’t care why this unexpected guest had appeared. But looking at Song Xiaoxiao’s neatly styled hair, long straight black hair, fair neck, and the curves that her clothes couldn’t hide below her head, he couldn’t help but compare her to Xia Ye.

Xia Ye’s hair was a bit messy, and her face looked a bit haggard. Although her beauty was still striking, in contrast to Song Xiaoxiao, she was like a well-formed embryo that hadn’t been colored yet, while Song Xiaoxiao was a finely crafted porcelain piece, already fired and sculpted.

It was also Lin Yuan’s fault for not understanding anything about girls’ makeup. In reality, one of them was almost bare-faced, while the other, though seemingly un-made-up, had secretly applied a full set of light makeup. No joke, Song Xiaoxiao was a professional in this area. She was certain today that Lin Yuan preferred the innocent ’white lotus’ type.

“Lin Yuan, what would you like to order?” Xia Ye handed him the menu.

“Let me.” Song Xiaoxiao snatched it away, then turned her back to Xia Ye and winked, signaling that she was about to begin her performance.

Song Xiaoxiao had originally been sitting on one side with Xia Ye, while Lin Yuan was opposite them. Using the excuse of ordering, Song Xiaoxiao moved to sit on Lin Yuan’s side.

“Lin Yuan, thank you so much for helping our Xia Ye last time. What would you like to eat?”

Lin Yuan was in no mood to think about food at the moment. He casually brushed her off, his eyes occasionally stealing glances at Song Xiaoxiao.

If it weren’t for his moral compass and sense of shame, he would have stared directly at Song Xiaoxiao, testing whether her delicate charm could cure his drooping ’withered branch’.

Song Xiaoxiao was very pleased by Lin Yuan’s gaze, as she believed she had guessed correctly: Lin Yuan was nothing more than a hypocrite. Xia Ye also noticed Lin Yuan’s actions and was naturally quite disheartened.

’Is Lin Yuan that kind of person too?’

’Was his gentle demeanor towards me before just because he didn’t like my type?’

“Xia Ye, what do you want to eat?” Facing the dejected Xia Ye, Song Xiaoxiao even deliberately handed her the menu, subtly teasing her.

“You two order, I’m fine with anything.” Xia Ye had lost her appetite.

Song Xiaoxiao then very deliberately tried to make conversation with Lin Yuan, “Are you usually very busy with work?”

“Yes, I often stay up late. Very busy.”

“Then you really need to take care of your health,” Song Xiaoxiao even reached out and ruffled Lin Yuan’s hair, “You seem to have some white hairs already.” Seizing this opportunity, Song Xiaoxiao leaned closer to Lin Yuan, intentionally intending to tease him.

Xia Ye, sitting opposite, couldn’t bear to watch any longer. “I’m going out for a walk.”

“Xia Ye, be sure to come back soon. The food won’t taste good if it gets cold.” Song Xiaoxiao mischievously, deliberately taunted her loudly.

Lin Yuan, meanwhile, let the moment flow, inhaling the fragrance from Song Xiaoxiao.

Strangely, he found himself completely unaffected by this captivating scent, without even a hint of fantasy. His current state was that he knew the woman sitting next to him was incredibly attractive, yet he felt absolutely nothing. It was too strange.

After trying without success, Lin Yuan could only choose to give up.

Lin Yuan could only choose to believe what the system said: the debuff would only last for a period of time.

What else could he do but wait? He couldn’t just act like a hooligan to prove he was a normal person, could he?

He then very naturally sat down opposite Song Xiaoxiao. Under normal circumstances, Lin Yuan naturally understood the proper boundaries between men and women.

Song Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, was a bit stunned.

Because normally, shouldn’t Lin Yuan deliberately restrain himself in front of Xia Ye, and then, once Xia Ye left and they were alone, gradually become more brazen and reveal his true colors? But why was it the opposite now? He acted like a pervert in front of her, but became proper after Xia Ye left.

Song Xiaoxiao didn’t believe it. She quickly took the opportunity to lean forward towards Lin Yuan, who was opposite her.

To save the naive Xia Ye, Song Xiaoxiao went all out.

As Song Xiaoxiao leaned forward, her collar naturally dropped. She deliberately pretended not to notice and did not use her hand to cover it. She had used this move to conquer many men.

Lin Yuan hadn’t expected this girl Xia Ye brought to be so bold, but since she had leaned in, he still took a couple of glances.

It was better not to look; looking only made him more frustrated.

It was just… it was clearly very beautiful, very shapely, and perfectly aligned with Lin Yuan’s aesthetic. But he just didn’t feel anything.

Lin Yuan suddenly remembered a short video he had seen—what a male cat looked like after being neutered. That teary-eyed indignation was exactly Lin Yuan’s mood at that moment.

Feeling agitated, Lin Yuan couldn’t be bothered to look anymore and simply turned his head away.

Now it was Song Xiaoxiao’s turn to be bewildered.

’He only looked for a few seconds and then he was done?’

She still didn’t believe it, so she leaned in a bit more, increasing the ’dosage’.

But even when Song Xiaoxiao’s elbows were resting on the table, Lin Yuan still showed no reaction.

Helpless, Song Xiaoxiao could only sit back. Her elbows were starting to ache from leaning so much.

“Xia Ye, your top supporter is too strange.”

Xia Ye, who was outside clearing her head, was holding a small wild flower she had picked from the roadside, plucking its petals and counting, “He is a good person, he is not a good person. He is, he is not….”

The wild flower was finally stripped of all its petals, and the final result was: He is a good person.

Xia Ye’s mood was very complicated at this moment. She naturally hoped Lin Yuan was a good person, but she couldn’t be happy with the final divination result of “he is a good person,” because from what she had just witnessed, Lin Yuan didn’t seem like a good person. Xia Ye was simply unable to bear the incessant thoughts after her hopes were shattered.

“Too strange what?” Xia Ye casually replied to Song Xiaoxiao.

“After you left, he started acting all proper.”

“Huh?” This rekindled Xia Ye’s hope.

Lin Yuan, meanwhile, after slowly accepting the helpless reality before him, gradually returned to his usual normal intelligence.

He was already comforting himself with Sima Shi Gong in his heart.

With his intelligence restored, Lin Yuan quickly noticed Song Xiaoxiao’s abnormality. What was she trying to do, throwing out such blatant ’benefits’ right after they met?

Lin Yuan naturally couldn’t guess that Song Xiaoxiao was testing him for Xia Ye. Instead, he naturally thought of Xia Ye’s previous work at the maid café.

Xia Ye clearly didn’t want to go to the maid café, and during their brief encounter last time, he seemed to recall Xia Ye mentioning that a friend had introduced her to it.

“You’re the one who introduced Xia Ye to that place, aren’t you?” Lin Yuan had already concluded from Song Xiaoxiao’s actions since they met that she was an ultimate ’green tea’ schemer. So, he naturally had this question.

Song Xiaoxiao hadn’t expected Lin Yuan to ask such an abrupt question. She had originally been thinking about how to further increase the ’dosage’.

“Why do you ask that?”

“Then it’s most likely you.”

Song Xiaoxiao didn’t retort with “What place are you referring to?” which meant she knew what place Lin Yuan was talking about. And knowing what that place referred to, she still didn’t deny that she was the one who introduced her, so the answer was already obvious.

Song Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Yuan’s serious expression and suddenly realized that he wasn’t following her rhythm at all.

“What do you want to say?” Song Xiaoxiao dropped the fake smile from her face and responded to Lin Yuan with equal seriousness.
