Chapter 55: Chapter 55 His Demand

This feels like the first time someone’s stood up for me so directly.

My heart feels all warm and fuzzy, and Ou Jue’s perpetually stoic face doesn’t seem that annoying anymore!

"Ou Jue, thank you!" Xia Xiyan clasped her little hands behind her back, speaking with a bright, cheeky grin.

Ou Jue let out a cold sneer, dripping with disdain. "Do you think I actually care about your thank-you?"

As he spoke, he leaned in slightly, his handsome face moving just a little closer to hers. "Xia Xiyan, your taste in guys back then was really... pathetic."

"!!"

Xiyan instantly knew he was referring to her past crush on Luo Mingchuan.

"Uh... You heard about that?"

"Some people are so loud, I could hear her wailing from eight hundred meters away."

"..." Xiyan clenched her tiny fists, forcing herself to maintain a smile. "Actually... I should probably explain. What I said earlier? You don’t need to take it seriously..."

Ou Jue lowered his gaze slightly, his voice carrying a husky edge. "Oh? Which part?"

He’s definitely asking this on purpose!

Feeling uneasy, Xiyan bowed her head and fiddled nervously with the little cart in front of her. "The part where I said I like you... Don’t worry about it, okay? I only said that to piss off Luo Mingchuan and Luo Xueying. I definitely don’t like you, so I won’t make things awkward for you!"

"..." Ou Jue’s expression darkened.

"Besides, I actually do have someone I like." Xiyan’s crush was none other than the hacker genius, 07!

Though really... calling it "liking" might be a stretch. It’s just that during those darkest years of hers, this boy she’d never even met became her most vital source of emotional support.

Ou Jue crossed his arms, his voice chillingly sharp. "Oh? I’m curious which poor guy had the misfortune of catching your interest."

"I... I won’t tell you!"

Ou Jue’s mood soured further. "Is this how you treat your savior?"

Xiyan couldn’t suppress a chuckle. "Come on, calling you my savior is a bit much."

"Xia Xiyan, next time someone leaves you dead in the street, I won’t lift a finger to help." Ou Jue shot her a frosty look, threw those words over his shoulder, and walked away.

Panicked, Xiyan quickly chased after him with her little cart, her voice carrying a hint of playful coaxing. "Hey, hey, are you mad now?"

Wow, so petty.

Ou Jue’s face practically screamed irritation. "Go away."

Xiyan kept up her cheerful tone. "Well, how about this? To thank you for sticking up for me earlier, I’ll cook something delicious for you?"

Ou Jue let out a cold laugh. "As if I care. If you have time for that, why don’t you make breakfast for the boy you like instead?"

"Don’t be like this! I was thinking I’d head to the Ou Mansion early today and help clean up..."

Ou Jue’s cold sarcasm persisted. "No need. If you have that much energy, why don’t you help the boy you like with his chores instead?"

"..." Xiyan broke out in a sweat. "Then what do *you* want me to do?"

Ou Jue halted his steps for a moment, his obsidian-like eyes casting a sidelong glance at her. "Write me a thank-you letter."

"What?" Xiyan was dumbfounded. A thank-you letter? Is this guy kidding me?

"A thank-you letter," Ou Jue repeated, tilting his noble chin ever so slightly. His thin lips moved as he dictated his command. "Handwritten, straight from the heart, three thousand words. Miss even one word, and you’re done for."

Xiyan was absolutely floored by Ou Jue’s bizarre train of thought, feeling like she’d just been struck by lightning.

What the hell kind of thank-you letter is this? Should I go the extra mile and stitch you a commemorative banner while I’m at it??
