I started as a spirited young man, and the system made me a male god.

He was frowning at his phone, wondering how to reply, when Meng Sixian sent him a new video.

In the scene, Lu Ziyue's face, adorned with delicate and cute makeup, suddenly zoomed in on the camera, almost filling the entire screen...

She smiled and said in Anya's slightly exaggerated tone:

"Chen Fei! Come and see how the role I chose for Xiao Xian looks! It perfectly suits her height, isn't it gorgeous!"

Xiaoxian even bought me Mixue Ice Cream lemonade! It's so refreshing and delicious!

lemonade.

Chen Fei's eye twitched.

This was absolutely intentional.

But since Meng Sixian didn't do anything strange, it means that Lu Ziyue didn't reveal the video of the beauty lemon water either.

Chen Fei calmly typed back, "It looks great, the makeup artistry is amazing. It's a pity I'm in Hangzhou and can't see it in person."

The reply came shortly after the message was sent. This time it was a voice message from Lu Ziyue.

When you click on it, you can hear the lively music and voices of the anime convention in the background:

"There's a game expo in Shanghai at the end of the month! Xiaoxian is also going to Shanghai for a training course. Do you want to come with us? It's a rare opportunity!"

At the end of the speech, the intonation rises slightly, like a small hook.

Chen Fei put down his phone and raised his hand to press his temples.

Now the system's tasks are limited to the gym and increasing affinity.

Gyms are everywhere, and Li Yunyao has already joined his company, so he can easily increase his favorability with her.

However, Meng Sixian's favorability rating is not so easy to raise. She usually has little time off, and relying solely on online chat will result in a slow increase in favorability.

Upon closer reflection, accompanying her to Shanghai is probably the fastest way to maximize her favorability, bar none.

But the fact that this suggestion came from Lu Ziyue made Chen Fei feel like he was walking into a trap...

But on second thought, if we continue to adopt the shameless strategy, there shouldn't be any problem.

After weighing the pros and cons for a few seconds, Chen Fei typed back: "Sure, I'm free at the end of the month, let's go check it out together."

Almost at the same moment his message was successfully sent.

Outside the Firefly Comic Con venue, the lights reflected in Lu Ziyue's bright eyes.

She looked at Chen Fei's reply on the screen, her face showing the excitement of a hunter seeing his prey step into a trap.

She turned her head and called out to Meng Sixian, who was carefully lifting her skirt, in a sweet voice:

"Xiaoxian! Chen Fei said he'll be free at the end of the month and can come with us. When you come to Shanghai, why don't you stay at my villa? There are plenty of empty rooms; it's much more convenient than staying in a hotel, and it'll save you some money!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Sixian quickly waved her hand: "Staying at your house? Wouldn't that be too much of a disturbance to your family... I can still afford a hotel."

Her skills have recently gained recognition, and more customers are specifically requesting her for massages and treatments. Her commissions are substantial, and she is no longer the girl who used to worry about making a living.

"It won't bother you at all!" Lu Ziyue affectionately took her arm, blinking her big eyes. "It's usually just me and the housekeeper at home, it's so lonely! It's so lively with you guys here! And..."

She paused, her smile innocent and pure, "Other friends will be coming too, it'll be more fun with more people!"

What Lu Ziyue was thinking was:

Once Chen Fei arrives, those "other friends" will naturally not need to show up.

Once they were on her turf, in her home, she was convinced she couldn't uncover Chen Fei's secrets.

Standing next to her, Meng Sixian was carefully lifting the hem of Joel's burgundy dress to avoid stepping on it.

She looked up and caught the excited expression on Lu Ziyue's face... Meng Sixian felt that it was more than just the happiness of having fun.

"Ms. Lu," Meng Sixian hesitated for a moment before asking softly, "Why do I feel like you're particularly interested in Chen Fei? Is it... just my imagination?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ziyue turned her gaze away from her phone screen and looked at Meng Sixian.

Instead of feeling embarrassed at being seen through, she readily and confidently admitted, "Yes, you figured it out, didn't you?"

She leaned closer, lowered her voice, and made no attempt to hide the joy in her tone, "I really like the mystery about him. Don't you think? He has an irresistible attraction."

Upon hearing the word "mystery," Meng Sixian became interested and started talking, recounting everything from her first meeting with Chen Fei to flying the kite.

Lu Ziyue listened intently, her green contact lenses never blinking.

Once Meng Sixian finished speaking, she immediately seized the most crucial turning point and asked the question that had been nagging at her:

"Wait a minute, Xiaoxian, you said he was eating leftovers not long ago, and now he's spending lavishly on credit cards? Don't you think this change is too fast, too... abrupt?"

Meng Sixian was taken aback by the question; she hadn't really thought about it in detail.

She thought about it carefully for a few seconds, her clear eyes filled with trust in Chen Fei:

"I think... life has its ups and downs, right? Maybe he failed in his investment before, but now he's found a way and made it back? I heard he's already started his own company."

"Investment failure... turn things around... start a company..." Lu Ziyue repeated these words in a low voice, her shock building up layer by layer.

She was worldly-wise and knew all too well how difficult it was for an ordinary person to climb out of the abyss in today's society. It required time, opportunity, capital, and connections, none of which could be lacking.

Less than half a month? From eating leftovers to starting a company? That's like a rocket launch!

Lu Ziyue became increasingly certain that Chen Fei must possess something even more powerful and magical besides the beauty-enhancing drink.

Just then, several photographers carrying long lenses spotted the duo.

One cosplayed Anya, the adorable superpowered girl from "Spy Kids," while the other cosplayed Yoel, a tall, gentle, yet sharp-witted character. The contrasting charm and high degree of accuracy made them stand out in the crowd.

"Ladies, may I take a few pictures?" a photographer politely asked as he approached.

Lu Ziyue almost immediately got into the zone, her serious expression instantly replaced by a sweet smile.

She grabbed Meng Sixian's arm, who was still a little dazed, and said in a cute, anime-like tone, "Of course you can! Waaaaah~ Right, Mom?"

The clear and loud "Mom" stood out against the noisy background, instantly attracting the attention of those around.

"Wow! It's Anya and Joel!"

"Wow, such a perfect recreation! That Joel lady has an amazing figure!"

"Mom? Haha, she really looks like her! Anya is so cute!"

"Take photos! Can we watch?"

A friendly cheer came from the side, and several young people smiled and moved closer, raising their phones.

Meng Sixian's face flushed bright red instantly, the blush spreading from the tips of her ears all the way down her neck.

She was already caught off guard by Lu Ziyue's sudden intimate address, and with the surrounding people making a fuss, she instinctively wanted to hide behind Lu Ziyue.

Lu Ziyue, however, laughed even more heartily, as if she had successfully pulled off a prank. She even winked mischievously at the young people who had started the disturbance, then tightly held onto Meng Sixian, who was trying to escape, and whispered with a laugh:

"Don't hide, Xiaoxian! You're 'Mom' now, you have to hold the fort!"

She was secretly delighted, finding Meng Sixian's embarrassed state particularly amusing, and at the same time, she felt even more clearly the girl's naivety and ease of manipulation.

Lu Ziyue took Meng Sixian out for cosplay and helped her with makeup, not only because she genuinely wanted to be friends with her, but also because she wanted her to get closer to Chen Fei.

In her memory, no young boy could resist a girl cosplaying as his favorite character.

If Meng Sixian and Chen Fei become familiar with each other, and Lu Ziyue manages to extract information from her, they will be one step closer to revealing Chen Fei's secret.
