Chapter 105 The Hungry Dog Among Dogs
Bai Li's gaze fell on the small card depicting Guan Cha in her hand. Driven by curiosity, she inexplicably reached out her finger and gently tapped the card.
In an instant, Guan Cha on the card seemed to have been subjected to an invisible but intense stimulus, and his body suddenly shrank back.
Beneath his lowered eyelids, a dark glint simmered, difficult to conceal, suppressed and complex, as if countless emotions were colliding and intertwining fiercely within him.
But in the blink of an eye, when he looked up at Bai Li again, his eyes were filled with the gentleness and liveliness of spring water, and he looked even more delicate and pitiful, exuding a brokenness that made people feel sorry for him.
Bai Li recoiled as if burned, quickly withdrawing her finger. Her heart pounded, and in her panic, she hurriedly stuffed the character card of Guan Cha back into the card album.
—Although Tea Nobleman is damp and shady, it is really captivating.
Since Guan Cha wasn't seeking love, but rather money.
That matter was much simpler for Bai Li.
Money is something I have plenty of. With the Godly Rich System, money is the one thing I have in abundance, like sand on a beach, inexhaustible and never-ending.
Bai Li narrowed her eyes slightly, secretly making plans.
If you can use a small amount of money to keep Guan Cha's favorability score above 50, this transaction seems very worthwhile.
After all, Xiao Hao's upgrade goal is clear: he needs ten target characters with a favorability score of 50, and three of them must have a favorability score of over 80.
Given that Guan Cha only seeks wealth and not love, it's highly unlikely that he'll reach a level of affection that surpasses 80 points, making him a potential lover...
Even so, he can at least help me achieve a task goal of gaining 50 points of favorability.
As for whether or not to try the "cake"...
The image of Guan Cha reappeared in Bai Li's mind.
Bai Li thinks it's worth trying if you have the chance.
A freshly baked "blackberry cupcake" was practically placed in front of her mouth; it would be impolite of her not to take a bite.
After learning about Guan Cha's past, Bai Li understood all of his dark sides.
In this world, perhaps no one understands Guan Cha better than her.
Only she knew that this "little cake" had a hidden filling. If she didn't eat it, was she supposed to give it to someone else?
Before putting away the character card album, Bai Li flipped through it one last time.
Before she knew it, she already had six cards in her card album: Jingye, Ying Xiangyang, Zhang Yu, Shishui, Shan Gui, and Guan Cha.
Upon closer inspection, the other photocards showed no unusual changes, except for Ying Xiangyang's photocard, where a pink heart-shaped bubble stood out prominently, boldly asserting its presence.
Bai Li immediately guessed the reason for the appearance of the heart-shaped bubbles; it must be proof that the favorability score was over 80 points.
The thought of Ying Xiangyang brought an indescribable, strange feeling to Bai Li's lips; that deep, tingling sensation seemed to linger in every corner of her body.
Bai Li chose to go home for the weekend for another reason that's hard to talk about.
She wanted to give her mouth a two-day break.
Just then, the phone that was lying to the side suddenly started vibrating. Bai Li put away the character card album and opened her phone to see a text message from Ying Xiangyang.
Hungry dog: Honey, do you miss me?
Hungry Dog: I bet you miss me.
Hungry Dog: You can video chat with me tonight, I'm waiting for you~
Hungry dog:（づ￣3￣）づ
See, what I said came true.
We haven't even been apart for a day!
Bai Li couldn't help but think to herself, "Does Ying Xiangyang have skin hunger, sex-related brain, and separation anxiety in addition to skin hunger and sex-related brain?"
And this guy is so cunning! Even though he was the one thinking about it, he turned around and asked if it was me who was thinking about him.
He was the one who suggested video chatting, so why does it seem like I was the one who initiated the conversation?
And if you're just chatting, why does it have to be video chatting? And why does it have to be at night?
Bai Li felt she had seen through Ying Xiangyang. This video chat was definitely not as simple as it seemed. He was the "dirtiest" person in the world, and this guy was definitely up to no good.
Looking at the message from Ying Xiangyang, Bai Li hesitated for a moment, then quickly typed a reply on the screen.
Bai Li: Just chatting?
Sure enough, Ying Xiangyang's message popped up instantly.
Hungry Dog: Of course, it's not just about chatting, I also want to see you, my wife.
Hungry Dog: You have no idea how much I miss you today. I think about you while eating, I think about you while live streaming, I can't concentrate on anything I do, my mind is full of you.
It was followed by a pitiful puppy emoji.
Ever since Bai Li once scolded him for licking people like a dog, this person has automatically "dog-like" himself. The emojis he sends in chats are all of little puppies, and sometimes he even refers to himself as a dog.
Bai Li first typed a middle finger emoji in an annoyed tone, but quickly deleted it without sending it.
Well, she was too exhausted to even complain anymore.
It's clearly a starving dog, but it insists on pretending to be a puppy.
Who are you trying to fool?
But looking at the cute puppy emoji, Bai Li's lips couldn't help but curl up slightly, and a hint of a smile flashed in her eyes.
There was no way around it; she just fell for his act.
It feels pretty good to be cared for so wholeheartedly.
After a moment's thought, Bai Li replied: Tonight is the semi-final of the Liyuan New Voice Online Music Competition. I'll contact you after it's over.
Thinking back to the reason why Ying Xiangyang was stressed last time, it seems that it was because I called someone else "husband" during the competition.
Bai Li added: This time she won't shout.
Upon receiving this message, Ying Xiangyang immediately knew what Bai Li was talking about.
He has actually already recovered from this.
Some people are just being played by Bai Li online, calling her "husband" a couple of times, but it's all fake.
He was actually called that in real life.
Although the process of obtaining it was not very honorable.
But he was called upon, stamped, and marked.
Although that's what I thought in my heart, the words I sent out were still unreasonable.
Hungry dog: Not this time?
Hungry dog: Not next time either.
Hungry Dog: They've taken up all my time; I don't have any left.
Hungry dog: I'm so pitiful (╯︵╰)
Hungry dog: Can I feed the dog that is patiently waiting to be fed meat?
Although I really didn't want to agree to Ying Xiangyang's request, if I didn't agree now, he would definitely pester me for a long time.
The semi-finals of the Pear Garden New Voice Online Music Competition are about to begin. Bai Li doesn't have time to chat with him anymore. She can only hum softly, muttering "taking an inch and wanting a mile" while typing away.
Bai Li: Okay, I got it, good doggy!
It's probably just a matter of lips getting swollen from kissing, nothing serious.
After several days of intense training, Bai Li felt that she was now incredibly strong and had nothing to fear!
Bai Li put away her phone and opened the music competition channel.
As expected, the semi-finals generated more buzz than the preliminary rounds.
During the preliminary rounds, there were already over 10 online viewers. The semi-finals were even more astonishing; before the competition even started, there were already as many as 50 viewers waiting.
At that moment, a contestant had just grabbed the microphone and was warming up the crowd.
