Chapter 32: Diablo 29

It had to be admitted that the gentle and refined-looking Lu Yi gave Tang Yitong an inexplicable sense of unease and crisis.

But fortunately...

From what he could tell, Wanwan didn’t seem to have any special feelings toward that man.

After the dishes were served, Tang Yitong quietly lowered his eyelashes and sat silently in his seat.

Seeing this, Tang Wan immediately said:

“What’s wrong? Eat properly!”

Then she picked up her chopsticks and placed food into his bowl.

Tang Yitong slightly curled his lips before nodding and beginning to eat.

No matter what...

He absolutely would not let anyone take her away from him.

“Ding! Tang Yitong’s favorability +5. Current favorability: 87.”

Little Cutie suddenly announced.

“Rising that fast?” Tang Wan looked somewhat surprised.

Although Tang Yitong’s favorability had often increased by large amounts before, normally the higher favorability became, the harder it was to continue raising it.

Yet this time, it had suddenly jumped another five points.

From this perspective...

Was Tang Yitong actually pretty easy to coax?

“No wonder this is considered a beginner mission. It doesn’t seem difficult at all,” Tang Wan said to Little Cutie.

Hearing this, Little Cutie’s mouth twitched slightly before he forcefully swallowed back the truth.

Forget it.

He’d wait until after the mission was complete before telling the host that, due to her terrible luck, she had actually drawn one of the hardest beginner missions possible.

If he told her now and affected her confidence, ruining the mission would be even worse.

So he quickly nodded.

“Mhm! Host, keep working hard! You can do it!”

...

After lunch, Tang Wan continued dragging Tang Yitong around shopping for over two hours.

Only when her legs became sore did she finally say:

“Alright, that’s enough shopping for today. Let’s go home first.”

The main reason was because she didn’t have much money left.

All five million yuan had already been invested into the stock market.

Once her funds loosened up again, she planned to bring him back out shopping properly.

...

After returning home, the two settled into a stable routine.

They attended school during the day.

At night, Tang Wan tutored Tang Yitong’s homework.

Before they realized it, over a month had already passed, and midterm exams arrived in the blink of an eye.

During this entire period, Tang Wan never once returned to the Tang family residence.

Meanwhile, Tang Wansong hadn’t even called her a single time.

As a result, Tang Wan grew increasingly contemptuous of him.

If this was how he behaved even before getting her shares, then sooner or later the Tang family would definitely be ruined in his hands.

Still...

None of that mattered to her anymore.

Tang Yitong’s favorability had now already reached 95.

Just another five points, and she would complete the mission and leave this world.

Thinking of this, Tang Wan suddenly felt somewhat reluctant.

After all, she had never spent such a long time living together with any man before.

Not to mention...

This was a man who genuinely liked her.

At that moment, Little Cutie suddenly jumped out.

“Don’t worry, Host! After completing the mission, you can spend a certain amount of points to choose to remain in this world! I’m your... your Dad... how could I possibly let you and your cute little lover be separated?”

“Really?” Tang Wan looked pleasantly surprised.

Although this was technically a virtual world, Tang Yitong was still the very first person who had ever genuinely liked her.

If she suddenly disappeared from his life...

How sad would Tang Yitong become?

So staying behind sounded pretty good.

Knowing this, Tang Wan finally relaxed completely.

At that moment, Little Cutie proudly continued:

“Of course! Your Little Cutie never lies!”

“That’s good then!”

...

Monday arrived.

After reaching school, the midterm exam rankings were officially released as well.

This time, Tang Yitong finally ranked first in Class F.

And why “finally”?

Because this scheming little villain had deliberately only improved by seven or eight ranks each exam previously.

That way, he could continuously tell Tang Wan that he had improved thanks to her tutoring, while naturally and reasonably increasing his grades little by little.

As for jumping straight to first place in one go?

He had never considered it.

That would be far too eye-catching.

People would definitely suspect him of cheating and cause unnecessary trouble afterward.
