Finally arrived at the hotel.
This whole trip, Qianyin didn’t do much, but Mo Yu kept attacking and mocking me, both openly and subtly.
Tch, what an annoying guy!
As soon as I reached the hotel entrance, the system’s voice chimed in again.
“Next, a task will be assigned to the host. The condition to trigger this plot is: Make Mo Yu suffer a setback once. Plot tags: Deception, Continuous Reversal.”
Hearing this, my heart leapt with joy.
So, as long as I make Mo Yu suffer a setback once, I can trick that girl into bed, right?
Hmph, this way, it’s also a solid counterattack against Mo Yu for deliberately showing off her lovey-dovey act in front of me earlier.
As expected, this is how a protagonist should be.
Let the villain provoke and taunt early on, then at the critical moment, the protagonist slaps their face hard.
It perfectly suits my Gui Ye’s calm and enduring personality.
What?
I just lost my cool?
Joking, how could I?
Only those water-spraying lolis would lose it over something like that.
But now, there’s a challenge.
With Mo Yu’s arrogant and domineering personality, how can I make her suffer a setback?
It’s a bit tricky, and there’s no opportunity right now.
I’ll have to wait and see if something comes up later.
Still, I believe with my Gui Ye’s wit and intelligence, making Mo Yu, that little pest, suffer a setback will be easy.
Stepping into the hotel lobby, the cool air from the AC hit me, feeling quite refreshing.
Then, a uniformed young lady approached.
“Miss Mo Yu, right? The private room is this way, please follow me.”
And so, we followed the young lady to the private room, where a variety of dishes were already laid out on the table.
This spread probably costs an average person’s monthly salary…
Damn it, why couldn’t I have been born into a rich family like this!
But thinking about it, I guess I was born into a wealthy family, but it’s all because of that damn father of mine.
Whatever, the most important thing right now is figuring out how to make that jerk Mo Yu suffer a setback.
That’s my chance to slap her in the face!
For now, though, there’s no opportunity, so I’ll have to wait until we’re eating and chatting.
“Don’t be shy, dig in~” Mo Yu said.
At her words, I picked up my chopsticks, and the meal began.
They started chatting about random things, while I listened quietly on the side, hoping to catch some flaw to meet the plot trigger condition.
But after a while, Mo Yu’s gaze turned toward me.
She seemed to notice I hadn’t spoken in a while and flashed me a wicked smile.
I had a bad feeling about that smile—something bad was definitely coming!
So, I puffed out my cheeks and glared at her, trying to intimidate her with my fierce expression and menacing eyes.
But for some reason, after I glared at her, the smile on her face only grew more unsettling.
Then, she turned to Qianyin and said, “Qianyin, when are you treating me to that coffee? You know, the one you owe me for helping you trick a certain dumb loli into bed.”
Tch!!
She’s doing it on purpose!
This jerk is absolutely doing it on purpose!
Mentioning the coffee is one thing, but emphasizing that it’s for tricking me into bed for Qianyin to treat her to coffee!
I’m so pissed!!
How can someone be like this!!
No, calm down!
Stay calm!
Don’t get mad, don’t lose it.
The priority right now is to make Mo Yu suffer a setback.
Stay calm and find her weakness!
Seeing that I didn’t react, Mo Yu looked at me again, shaking her head with that mocking expression.
Argh!
This jerk!!
I won’t get mad!
Hmph!
Let’s see what you can do to me!
I have to say, this place is fast.
Not long after Qianyin scanned the QR code to order, a waiter brought over a coffee.
Mo Yu took the coffee with satisfaction and raised an eyebrow at me.
“Little Gui Ye, want a sip? After all, you contributed a lot to this coffee. If a certain loli wasn’t so dumb, I wouldn’t be drinking this, you know. Lucky for me, she’s a dumb loli.”
Arghhh!
This jerk!!!
My fists are clenched!
I really want to punch her, if only my arms weren’t so short…
I’m so mad!
But I know she’s doing this on purpose, trying to make me lose it.
I ignored her, pretending to focus on eating.
Just wait until I find my chance—I’ll slap her face hard!
Really hard!
Seeing that I stayed composed this time, Mo Yu turned to the girl she brought along.
“Come, since she’s not drinking, you take the first sip.”
Her tone switched instantly, that gentle voice completely different from the infuriating way she spoke to me!
Since Mo Yu stopped provoking me, I looked up.
She had just handed the cup to the girl, who took a small sip.
“Does it taste good? This is the coffee I got for tricking a certain dumb loli into Qianyin’s bed~”
Though she was asking the girl, Mo Yu’s gaze landed on me again.
Why does she keep emphasizing that this coffee is for tricking me into Qianyin’s bed!!
And she’s even showing off her lovey-dovey act!
Am I just a part of their little game?
I forced down my anger, trying to stay calm.
If this keeps up, it’ll be hard to make Mo Yu suffer a setback, so I need to find a way to turn the tables fast.
But what’s the next step?
Just as I was thinking, a voice interrupted me.
“Want me to get you a cup too?”
I looked over and realized it was Qianyin talking to me.
“No thanks, try this instead.”
I declined Qianyin’s offer and casually picked up a piece of scallop from a dish farther away, placing it in her bowl.
If I remember correctly, in my past life, she loved this dish.
She hasn’t touched it yet, probably because she didn’t notice it.
“Huh?! O-Okay…”
Seeing me proactively serve her food, Qianyin was first surprised, then shy, and finally accepted the food from my chopsticks with her plate.
Heh heh heh, see that?
This is a must-learn skill for a harem protagonist.
Never miss a chance to raise a girl’s affection!
Seeing Qianyin’s shy expression, a lightbulb went off in my head.
Right, how did I not think of this?
Sure, Mo Yu brought her partner, but let’s not forget—Qianyin was once someone I conquered!
And we didn’t just flirt with food; we’ve held hands, kissed, and even… cough cough! Never mind that last part. Just the hand-holding and kissing are enough to show off in front of Mo Yu and her little lover, right?
This way, I’ve got a plan to make Mo Yu suffer a setback!
