Chapter 773: Chapter 773 The Kind and Generous Little Fairy

Shi Yaoguang said these words, lowered her head, looking pitiful like a child who had done something wrong.

But Fan Yanshu was not deceived by her seemingly weak and helpless appearance.

Being fooled the first time was excusable.

If at this stage he still hadn’t realized the problem, then he really had no need to continue taking on strategy missions.

With such an obvious issue, if he still couldn’t figure it out, what was the point of taking on strategy missions? He might as well find a place to lie down and wait for death.

Yet...

Even knowing so, what could he do about it?

He was ugly in Shi Yaoguang’s eyes, and he had to pay money!

But now, he was penniless.

Not only penniless but also in debt.

And all this was for the sake of buying gifts for Shi Yaoguang.

Now, great, the gifts had been given, but he hadn’t gained a single benefit from it, and on top of that, he had to compensate Shi Yaoguang.

The more he thought about it, the more upset he became.

His gaze towards Shi Yaoguang was also full of wariness.

Upon seeing his expression, Shi Yaoguang hooked the corner of her lips, "Fan Shao, are you cursing me in your heart? If you want to scold me, just come out with it, you can scold me directly."

Fan Yanshu: "..."

Sorry, he didn’t dare.

He felt too suffocated to speak.

Seeing his reaction, Shi Yaoguang spoke with some boredom, "Since you don’t want to scold me, then forget it and let’s settle the compensation."

Fan Yanshu asked with a dark face, "What compensation are you referring to?"

"What compensation do I want?" Shi Yaoguang looked at him with eyes that feigned incomprehension, "Why would you ask me such a question?"

"Isn’t the compensation something you offer voluntarily? Asking me about it makes it seem like I’m so eager for you to compensate me, how bad would that look?"

Fan Yanshu: "..."

He clenched his back teeth, smiling without a hint of joy, "Is what you’re doing right now really that great?"

"Not great?" Shi Yaoguang, devoid of any self-awareness, shook her head, "I don’t see what’s not great about it. If you think I’ve done something wrong, you can tell me."

As she spoke, she emanated the aura of Mother Mary, the brightness almost blinding, "I’m a kind and generous little fairy, I wouldn’t fuss over such trivial offenses against me."

Fan Yanshu: "..."

Heh.

She talked about kindness and generosity, about not taking offense.

But what then?

She demanded compensation just because he flashed an unfriendly expression.

And yet, she had the audacity to praise herself!

Fan Yanshu was furious but had to restrain himself.

Endure, endure, endure, he felt that he was practically becoming a Ninja Turtle!

Even though he was filled with resentment, he still had to control his expression, trying hard not to offend her while voicing the confusion in his heart.

"Did you already know my aim?"

Shi Yaoguang blinked, her expression puzzled, "Aim?"

Fan Yanshu scrutinized her expression, not missing the slightest change on her face, as he tried to see whether she truly knew his intent.

However...

Whether Shi Yaoguang’s acting was just too good, or she genuinely knew nothing, her expression was impenetrable.

This left him feeling somewhat frustrated.

"You really don’t know?" he couldn’t help but ask again.

Shi Yaoguang appeared to reflect, "If you put it like that, I really do want to know what your aim is."

"Let me think."

So saying, her eyes narrowed.

She regarded him full of inquiry, "You’ve gone to such lengths to win my favor, could it be that you aim to make me fall for you?"

Listening to her, as she almost guessed his true thoughts, Fan Yanshu hastily denied, "I’m not!"

"Isn’t there anything?"

Shi Yaoguang clicked her tongue twice, "You wouldn’t still be treating me like a fool, would you?"

"Let me tell you, I can definitely tell whether you like me or not, I can confirm it with just one look. If you try to lie to me, it’s completely meaningless."

Fan Yanshu felt somewhat embarrassed, "I didn’t intend to deceive you, you have to believe me."

"Then tell me, what drives you to come and court me?"

Upon hearing the word "court," Fan Yanshu’s heartbeat even stopped for a moment.

In an instant, he guessed that Shi Yaoguang did not know the truth.

Maybe he didn’t need to panic.

Thinking this, he firmly stated his position.

"The reason I do these things is, of course, because I like you!"

Shi Yaoguang scoffed, "Like me?"

She let out a cold laugh, "Do you think my eyes are just for decoration?"

Fan Yanshu met her seemingly mocking gaze and his heart skipped a beat, "What do you mean by that? If it’s not because I like you, why would I go to such lengths? Could it be out of boredom?"

"Whether you’re bored or not, I don’t know, but one thing..."

She curled her lips into a cold smile, "I already know your purpose."

Fan Yanshu’s pupils dilated sharply, "What, what are you talking about?"

"You clearly hate me, yet even under such loathing, you still deliberately try to win my favor, merely wishing to gain something from me."

Hearing her say this, he suddenly felt more confident.

"I swear, I haven’t thought of gaining anything from you!"

Although his goal was to charm Shi Yaoguang and win her true heart.

But love is something that can’t be quantified.

In a sense, he indeed had no intention of obtaining anything from Shi Yaoguang.

Seeing that he continued to deny it, Shi Yaoguang wasn’t in a hurry and chuckled lightly, "You make a good point."

Fan Yanshu immediately became smug.

But then he heard Shi Yaoguang say, "However, I don’t believe it."

Fan Yanshu: "..."

Can you not speak with such heavy breathing!

He internally complained about Shi Yaoguang, his face showing an indignant expression, "Can’t you stop being so unreasonable?"

"I like you, I love you, I can’t do without you! But that doesn’t mean you can trample on my feelings at will!"

"Tch," Shi Yaoguang laughed outright, "Even now, you still won’t admit that you have ulterior motives?"

"What ulterior motives could I possibly have?" Fan Yanshu still adamantly denied it.

Shi Yaoguang smiled faintly, "If you say there’s none, then there’s none. I won’t insist."

Fan Yanshu breathed a sigh of relief.

"I suspect you have bad intentions towards me, but since you won’t admit it, it seems we’ll part on bad terms today."

Shi Yaoguang spoke without expression, "After today, let’s part ways."

As she finished speaking, she started to walk away.

Fan Yanshu was stunned.

"What do you mean?"

Shi Yaoguang continued walking without stopping, speaking carelessly, "I mean, let’s not see each other again in the future."

After saying that, she quickened her pace and disappeared from sight in front of Fan Yanshu.

Fan Yanshu was left staring at the collapsing wall, his gaze wandering in confusion.

At that moment, the "System" in his mind suddenly "dinged."

"Host, you’ve failed in your charm attempt."

The System’s voice was very calm.

That’s right, the System was nothing more than an inanimate object.

But Fan Yanshu was far from calm, knowing what he would have to face after a failed charm attempt. He immediately begged for mercy, "System, don’t rush to punish me, give me another chance! I’m sure I can win her over!"
