Chapter 764: Chapter 764: The Very Bitchy Green Tea

But if one has experienced it, the beauty is like that of an Illusion Realm.

It hurts all the more to lose it then; that is what sears the soul.

Isn’t that what makes a game meaningful, only when it sears the soul?

...

Fan Yanshu did not realize that his hunt was a one-sided game with Shi Yaoguang.

After he persuaded Shi Yaoguang to stay and take care of the kitten, he naturally took her for a tour around his villa.

Although he had never visited Quan Jinbei’s villa, his own was decorated in a style eight parts similar to that of the other’s.

And this eight parts similarity was installed according to Shi Yaoguang’s preferences.

To this, Shi Yaoguang expressed her full surprise.

She seemed not to expect that Fan Yanshu’s home would share such a resemblance with her tastes, and immediately exclaimed with surprise, "Your place is so similar to mine; if not for some small details, I would almost think I’m back at my own home."

Upon hearing this, Fan Yanshu scratched his head, his cheeks turning slightly red, "That’s such a coincidence. I just thought you would like something like this; I didn’t expect to guess it right."

Shi Yaoguang showed a hint of confusion, "You thought I would like it?"

"This is your house; why would you think I’d like it? You didn’t arrange this place to suit my taste, did you?"

Fan Yanshu’s gaze darted about, as if struggling with whether to admit it, "I...I just thought that one day you might come here, and I hoped that when you came to find me, you would feel a sense of belonging, as if you were at home."

Shi Yaoguang, as if embarrassed, averted her gaze, "Why should I feel a sense of belonging to your house? I don’t even know how to respond to that."

"I didn’t mean to make it difficult for you."

Fan Yanshu’s tone grew anxious, "I just wanted to leave a good impression on you. If this has instead brought you trouble, then it is completely contrary to my original intention."

"But..." Shi Yaoguang wore a guilty expression, "I’m really not as good as you imagine, and you don’t need to do all this for me. Even if you do, I can’t reciprocate."

Fan Yanshu waved his hand, "I don’t need any reciprocation from you; everything I do for you is born out of willing affection. By saying these things, you are actually making me feel uneasy."

Shi Yaoguang appeared somewhat conflicted, and after a long while, she finally nodded.

She rarely showed an awkward demeanor, "Since being kind to me is what you want, if I keep refusing, then I’d be letting down your good intentions. Don’t worry, I definitely won’t do that."

Fan Yanshu, looking at Shi Yaoguang’s resolute expression, suddenly felt at a loss for words.

This probably was...

He had treated Shi Yaoguang like a little white bunny, only to discover she was actually more akin to a scheming belle.

That’s right.

In his eyes, Shi Yaoguang had become a scheming belle.

And not just any scheming belle, but a particularly calculating one.

This also gave him a sense of great trepidation.

Because...

Scheming belles are heartless.

Especially the calculating ones.

They are heartless, unless they fall for you willingly; otherwise...

Heh.

Shi Yaoguang didn’t know what he was thinking.

However, it was evident that he seemed to have thought of something upsetting, as his mood took a drastic turn in an instant.

And that was the truth.

Fan Yanshu tried to suppress the disappointment of finding out his love interest was a calculating scheming belle. He forced a smile and continued to unwillingly keep up appearances.

"Yaoguang, I’m glad you could understand. Even though I can’t become your lover, or even your husband, I can still be your best friend!"

Shi Yaoguang showed a troubled expression, "But I already have a best friend..."

Fan Yanshu: "..."

To be honest, he started to doubt Quan Jinbei’s taste.

This kind of woman...

Just this kind of woman!

She doesn’t deserve!

Of course, he just thought about it in his mind.

No matter how much he complained, he still had to continue his strategy.

After all, Shi Yaoguang was his target.

At the thought of this, he suddenly felt terrible.

Shi Yaoguang didn’t know how much drama was in his heart.

In fact, she wasn’t keen on his strategy.

Alas, she had become his target.

Thinking about it, Shi Yaoguang’s eyes flickered as she bit her lip, hesitantly beginning to speak: "Young Master Fan, was everything you told me before true?"

"Of course!" Fan Yanshu replied without even thinking.

Shi Yaoguang blinked, "You don’t even know what I’m asking about, yet you say it’s true. That doesn’t sound very sincere."

Fan Yanshu gazed at her tenderly, his voice deep and popping with emotion, making it extra greasy, "I don’t need to know what you’re asking because... everything I’ve ever said to you is true."

"Just like my feelings for you, they are all genuine and sincere!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yaoguang’s eyes shimmered as she looked at him, very touched, "Are you sure what you’re saying is true?"

"I would never lie to you."

As Fan Yanshu spoke, he gazed at her with a face full of tender affection, "What do you want to know?"

"I..." She assumed a shy expression, "I want to be your friend."

Fan Yanshu looked hurt, "I thought you and I were already friends. So... you’ve never seen me as a friend?"

"That’s not what I mean." Shi Yaoguang hurriedly explained, "You were a friend before, but it’s different from the friend I’m talking about now."

Fan Yanshu pressed her: "How is it different?"

Shi Yaoguang looked up sorrowfully at the sky, then coyly said: "Previous friends were just superficial acquaintances, but after observing you, I think you are really suitable for being a close friend."

"I can gaze at the stars and the moon with you, and we can also discuss life and dreams together..."

After speaking, she seemed somewhat embarrassed, her cheeks red, she asked him, "Do you think I’m being too frivolous?"

Fan Yanshu criticized Shi Yaoguang in his heart but kept a sincere look on his face, "How could that be frivolous? What I like about you is how you express your likes straightforwardly, a girl who is simple and unpretentious~"

"Really?" Shi Yaoguang seemed very happy to be accepted, and blushing, she shyly said, "If I had known you would like me so much, I should have met you earlier."

"It’s not too late to meet now." Fan Yanshu said, his eyes intently fixed on her. "As your close friend, may I apply for a special privilege?"

"What privilege?"

Shi Yaoguang looked curious.

Fan Yanshu said earnestly, "The privilege to enter your heart."

Shi Yaoguang: "..."

She quickly lowered her head, forcefully suppressing her disgusted expression, then put on a coy response, sounding very embarrassed, "That doesn’t seem quite right, does it? I’m already married, and even if you like me..."
