What are you doing, Mr. President? I'm just an extra!

The rain is still falling outside the window.

The wind slapped the rain against the French windows, and the water streaks meandered down like crawling snakes.

The air in the living room became thick and sticky.

The aroma was mixed with the scent of wine, and the faint, cool fragrance emanating from the woman sitting on the carpet.

Lu Li felt a little hot.

He tugged at his tie, loosening it a little.

Su Feiyan deflected the question about bust, waist, and hip measurements with a glass of wine.

This did not frustrate Lu Li; on the contrary, it fueled his competitive spirit.

【Row. 】

[He'd rather drink a large glass of wine than tell anyone.]

What does this tell us?

[This means the data must be astonishing; it might scare me to death.]

Or perhaps... hehe, you want me to measure it myself?

Lu Li's gaze involuntarily swept over Su Feiyan.

That curve.

That rise and fall.

It is indeed difficult to summarize with simple numbers.

Su Feiyan was resting her chin on one hand and gently swirling the empty wine glass with the other.

Her eyes were already somewhat glazed over.

The frost that had covered his eyes melted away with the alcohol, turning into two pools of spring water.

It looks sparkling.

It's very alluring.

"Want to come again?"

Su Feiyan's voice was languid.

"Come!"

Lu Li rolled up his sleeves, revealing half of his forearm.

Su Feiyan chuckled softly.

"Then I'll be serious too."

She put down the cup in her hand and leaned forward slightly.

The previously languid posture instantly vanished, replaced by the focused attention of a cheetah eyeing its prey.

That look made Lu Li feel uneasy.

What's causing this feeling of oppression?

[It's just rock-paper-scissors, why is it acting like a business negotiation?]

[System! Hold on! Can you manage?]

The system in my mind didn't respond at all, but silently popped up the probability analysis panel again.

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

Extend both hands at the same time.

This time.

Lu Li still chose to trust the system's big data analysis and pulled out the scissors.

And Su Feiyan's hand...

It's a fist.

Stone.

Rock against scissors.

Lu Li lost.

"ha."

Su Feiyan let out a short laugh.

She didn't seem very agitated; she simply withdrew her hand, picked up the decanter, and poured herself a little wine.

"Looks like your luck has run out."

Lu Li looked at his two fingers and questioned his existence.

[System, you're such a rip-off!]

What happened to the promised 98% win rate?

Is this female demon using cheat codes?

Hearing the roar in his heart, Su Feiyan's smile deepened.

She can definitely hear.

The moment Lu Li silently uttered the word "scissors" in his mind, she had already reacted.

This is not luck at all.

This is a dimensional reduction attack.

"You have to accept the consequences of your bet."

Su Feiyan picked up her wine glass and took a small sip.

The scarlet wine stained her lips, making them appear exceptionally luscious and alluring.

"Truth or Dare?"

Lu Li swallowed.

If it's a big adventure.

Given this woman's personality, she might make some perverted demands.

For example, make him run naked in the rain.

"The truth."

Lu Li decisively admitted defeat.

"I'm the most honest person I've ever been since I was a child."

"honest?"

Su Feiyan raised an eyebrow.

She put down her wine glass, but instead of asking questions immediately, she stood up.

Barefoot on the carpet, she walked step by step toward Lu Li.

Every step taken.

The black skirt swayed slightly at her legs.

Her snow-white calves were faintly visible through the black fabric.

Lu Li felt her throat go dry.

He instinctively shrank back.

Until his back hit the edge of the sofa, leaving him nowhere to retreat.

Su Feiyan stopped in front of him and looked down at him.

then.

She slowly bent down.

That exquisitely beautiful face loomed larger and larger before Lu Li's eyes, so close that he could smell the rich aroma of red wine emanating from her breath.

"Since he's an honest young man..."

Su Feiyan's voice was very low.

With a rustling texture, it went straight into Lu Li's ear, tickling him until he couldn't stand it.

"Then tell me."

Su Feiyan propped one hand on the sofa next to Lu Li, trapping him in her shadow.

"Have you...?"

She paused, her gaze sweeping over Lu Li's face before finally settling on his eyes.

"Did you peek at me while I was showering?"

boom--

It was like a firework exploding in Lu Li's mind.

His face, neck, and even the roots of his ears turned bright red instantly.

【Huh?!】

How am I supposed to answer that?!

Lu Li's gaze began to wander.

Look to the left at the ceiling.

Look to the right at the floor-to-ceiling window.

He just didn't dare to look Su Feiyan in the eye.

"that……"

Lu Li stammered.

"Mr. Su, the soundproofing in this villa is quite good, and the bathroom door is frosted too..."

"answer the questions."

Su Feiyan interrupted his nonsense.

He pressed his body down another inch.

The V-neckline swayed in front of him.

It was a dazzling expanse of white.

Lu Li felt a warm current flowing in her nose and quickly looked away.

"N-No!"

Lu Li denied it loudly.

To increase credibility, he also held up three fingers.

I swear to the lamp!

"Absolutely not!"

"I am a virtuous and upright person! I grew up reading the classics!"

They spoke with great righteousness.

But in my heart, it was a completely different scene.

That incident shouldn't count, right?

Her bathroom door wasn't closed properly, and I accidentally walked by...

[I was really just passing by!]

[I only glanced at it.]

[Approximately 0.5 seconds?]

[The fog was so thick back then that I couldn't really see anything.]

[I only saw a figure from behind, and... cough cough, stop, stop!]

If I admit to this, I'll be drowned and fed to fish tomorrow!

[I'd rather die than admit it!]

Su Feiyan remained in that position without moving.

She looked at Lu Li's forced composure.

Listen to the chaotic little theater unfolding in his mind.

Was the bathroom door not closed properly that time?

Su Feiyan narrowed her eyes.

She remembered.

There was indeed that one time.

She thought the wind had blown the door open.

It turns out that the little mouse had been spying on us.

But the thought of how this guy had seen her completely unguarded made Su Feiyan blush slightly.

shame.

But there's also a kind of inexplicable thrill.

"Oh?"

Su Feiyan drawled out the last syllable.

"gentleman?"

"The classics?"

Her fingers tapped lightly on the back of the sofa.

"If you don't, then why are you blushing?"

Lu Li stiffened his neck.

"It's hot!"

"Plus, it's normal for your face to turn red after drinking!"

"Yeah?"

Su Feiyan clearly didn't believe it.

But she didn't expose it.

Sometimes, it's more interesting to see through something but not say it.

As long as we know this guy has something to hide, that's enough.

This is also a kind of leverage.

We can settle accounts with him later.

Su Feiyan straightened up and returned to her seat.

Lu Li let out a long breath, feeling that his back was completely soaked.

That's terrifying.

No, we can't let her keep the initiative.

If this keeps up, I'll be stripped naked.

I'm going to fight back!

I want to win!

Lu Li grabbed a wine glass and gulped down half of it in one go.

The alcohol washed over his nerves, making his already somewhat flustered heart restless once again.

"Again!"

Lu Li rolled up his sleeves even higher.

"I was careless just now, but I'm determined to win this time!"

Su Feiyan leaned back on the sofa, watching him with a leisurely air.

"OK."

"If you can win, I'll tell you a secret."

secret?

Lu Li's ears perked up.

This woman has too many secrets.

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

This time.

Lu Li stopped listening to the system's analysis; the system was a complete rip-off, and he had to rely on himself in crucial moments.

He stared intently at Su Feiyan's hand.

At the last moment before he made his move, he saw Su Feiyan's fingers twitch slightly.

That's... a sign that cloth is about to be released?

Lu Li's mind raced, and with a flick of his wrist, he achieved his goal.

Scissors!

Su Feiyan: Cloth.

Lu Li: Scissors.

Won!

"yeah!"

Lu Li jumped up from the carpet in excitement.

"We won! We won!"

"I won!"

This is a testament to strength!

This is the brilliance of wisdom!

[What female CEO? They're all nothing compared to absolute luck!]

Su Feiyan shook her head helplessly as she looked at his smug expression.

Actually, she did it on purpose.

"Ask away."

Su Feiyan poured herself another glass of wine.

"What do you want to know?"

Lu Li sat down again.

He calmed his excited emotions.

After that moment of excitement, reason regained its footing.

This opportunity should not be wasted on superficial issues.

You can always see... no, you can estimate... body measurements.

If you ask...

Just a big question.

Lu Li looked at Su Feiyan.

Looking at her somewhat hazy face under the light.

Looking into the deep loneliness hidden in her eyes.

By some strange twist of fate.

The question that had been lingering in his mind was finally blurted out.

"President Su."

Lu Li's voice softened, no longer as frivolous as before, but carrying a rare seriousness.

"Do you... have someone you like?"

The moment this question was raised, the entire living room fell silent.

Even the sound of air flowing seemed to have disappeared.

All that remained was the sound of rain still relentlessly pattering against the windowpane.

Crackle, crackle.

It's like the rhythm of a heartbeat.

Su Feiyan stopped swirling her wine glass.

The red wine settled on the glass.

She did not answer immediately.

They didn't try to brush it off with jokes or drinking like they had before.

She simply watched Lu Li quietly.

Lu Li felt uneasy under her gaze.

Did I ask the wrong question?

Isn't this question too personal?

[After all, she's a villainous female supporting character, and in the original work, she's a heartless killer.]

[Isn't someone like her only interested in money and power?]

Dating? That's a waste of time.

Oh no, this atmosphere is getting a little awkward.

How about we ask a different question?

Ask her what she wants for breakfast tomorrow.

Just as Lu Li was about to laugh it off and brush the issue aside...

Su Feiyan moved.

She picked up her wine glass, tilted her head back, and took a sip.

This time she drank very slowly, her throat bobbing slightly.

After finishing her drink, she put down the glass and gently licked the wine stains from the corner of her lips with the tip of her tongue.

Then she looked into Lu Li's eyes, and the corners of her mouth slowly curved into a smile.

That smile.

He lacked his usual aloofness.

There was none of the earlier banter.

Instead, it carried a hint of... gentleness that Lu Li had never seen before?

"Yes, I have."

Two words.

Light and airy.

But it was like a thunderclap, exploding directly above Lu Li's head.

Have?

It actually exists?

Lu Li was completely dumbfounded.

【who?!】

Which bastard?

[How could he possibly catch the eye of this female demon?]

It wasn't mentioned in the original work!

In the original novel, Su Feiyan was single throughout, even until the very end when her family was destroyed and she was still alone.

[The only person she's rumored to be romantically involved with is that Dragon King Ye Fan, but he's her enemy!]

Could it be that some butterfly effect, unknown to me, has occurred in the plot?

An inexplicable emotion spread through Lu Li's heart.

sour.

It has a slightly astringent taste.

It felt like drinking a sip of underripe plum wine.

He originally thought he was just a bystander, a tool for getting paid to do things.

But he only realized it when he heard the answer.

I don't think I'm as carefree as I seem.

"Who is it?"

Lu Li took a step forward and placed both hands on the coffee table.

His eyes were fixed on Su Feiyan.

That eagerness, that impatience.

He himself didn't even realize it.

"Is it that Zhao Tianyu?"

"Is it still that pretty-boy celebrity?"

"It couldn't possibly be that idiot Ye Fan, could it?"

Lu Li's questions came out like a barrage of machine gun fire.

He spoke very quickly, with an undisguised hint of jealousy.

Su Feiyan's smile deepened as she looked at him.

She can hear.

The once calm lake in my heart is now a raging torrent.

That bittersweet feeling, when heard, was as sweet as honey.

Are you getting anxious?

Are you jealous?

This little thing.

He usually pretends to be carefree.

When it comes to crucial moments, they still care quite a bit.

Su Feiyan held up one finger.

index finger.

Slender.

Fair-skinned.

My fingertips still had a slightly cool temperature.

He gently pressed his lips to Lu Li's.

The soft touch made Lu Li shut his mouth.

All the remaining questions were swallowed back down.

Su Feiyan leaned forward and whispered in Lu Li's ear.

Warm breath brushed against his earlobe, carrying the aroma of red wine, making one dizzy.

"Shh-"

She said softly.

"That's the second question."

Lu Li's eyes widened.

"That's outrageous!"

"If you only say half of what you mean, you'll end up without a spouse!"

"This guy's called Calvin! He's going to get razor blades in the mail!"

Su Feiyan withdrew her finger and lightly scratched Lu Li's cheek.

The fingernail brushed against the skin, bringing a slight tingling sensation.

"Rules are rules."

Su Feiyan leaned back on the sofa, her beautiful legs crossed, her toes gently swaying.

"Want to know who it is?"

She gave Lu Li a defiant look.

"Then you've won against me."

"Next game."

"If you can win again, I'll tell you that person's name."

Lu Li felt a tickle in his teeth looking at her smug expression.

【it is good! 】

You're ruthless!

Are you trying to whet my appetite?

I'm not sleeping tonight!

I refuse to believe I can't beat you!

Even if it breaks my arms, I'll find out who that adulterer is!

Lu Li suddenly grabbed the wine bottle, no longer needing a decanter.

He poured a full cup directly into his own.

"Come!"

"Fight to the death!"

"Whoever backs down first is a little dog!"

Su Feiyan looked at Lu Li, who was full of fighting spirit.

A sly glint flashed in his eyes.

fool.

The name is right in front of you.

Do I even need to ask?

but.

It's really funny to see this guy getting so anxious and upset about me.

Since he wants to play, then let him play to his heart's content.

Anyway.

The night is long.

The rain will continue for a long time.

They have plenty of time.

"Are you ready?"

Su Feiyan raised her hand.

"Rock, scissors..."

"cloth!"
