Rags to Riches: The Rise of a Dual-Talent Prodigy-Chapter 483 - 475: If You Kiss Him, He Would Give His Life for You!

Chapter 483: Chapter 475: If You Kiss Him, He Would Give His Life for You!

Why does it feel like she’s that evil sorceress who forces the celestial immortals from heaven to descend and suffer, compelling them to serve her well?

"Ew..." Qian Qi shuddered at her own thoughts.

[What kind of unspeakable lewd things are you thinking? →_→] The system panel snuck up with disdain, sneering at her.

Qian Qi swiftly grabbed the system panel and headed inside, "Get inside, I’ll draw you."

System: [✧*｡٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و✧* Yay!]

Noticing Qian Qi leaving, the silver-haired young man doing laundry glanced back, watched for a moment, then turned his gaze away.

Then, he saw Xiao Min and Xiao An, who were doing homework next to him, looking at him with a complex and teasing expression.

Su Ang: ...

"Brother Su, have you still not won over Sister Qiqi?" Xiao Min asked with a cheeky smile.

Children are the most sensitive, especially those in the orphanage. They’re very perceptive of outsiders’ emotions, so it’s not hard to see that Su Ang likes Qian Qi.

"Hmm..." Su Ang didn’t try to fool the kids, lowering his head as he scrubbed and said, "I lack experience, not very skilled."

Xiao Min tilted her head; she thought Brother Su would say that Sister Qiqi is hard to pursue or doesn’t understand, but didn’t expect him to admit he’s never chased anyone, lacking experience...

She instantly felt her favorability soar, patting her chest confidently, "Brother Su, let me tell you, only women understand what women like!"

Su Ang humored her by looking up with a slight smile, "Oh?"

"First of all, looks are the easiest point to make a woman’s heart flutter! As long as you’re handsome..." Xiao Min glanced at Su Ang’s excessively pretty face, then changed her tone, "Of course, being handsome isn’t just about appearance, it also includes style!"

"Don’t you think you wear the same clothes every day!" Xiao Min pointed critically at the white wool sweater Su Ang wore, "I saw on Light Brain that you’re always wearing this! Even women get tired of seeing the same thing!"

Su Ang looked down at his sweater. Indeed, in front of Qian Qi, he had only worn two outfits: an eternal black windbreaker suit and his current white sweater with dark smoke grey jeans.

The reason for choosing this outfit was because he had read guides that said dressing this way appeared youthful yet mature, warm yet lively, clean and appealing to girls.

But the guides didn’t mention needing to change outfits regularly.

"Brother Su, you should wear different styles more often, that’s how you keep things fresh!"

Seven-year-old Xiao Min spoke earnestly, with an air of seeing the end of the future days with her melancholy eyes, "A marriage without freshness is destined for the grave!!!"

Beside her, Xiao An: "... Xiao Min, they’re not even married yet."

"Close enough!" Xiao Min corrected, exasperated, "A man without freshness is also destined for the grave!"

Xiao An: ...

Sister, people are destined for the grave regardless of freshness.

"I’ve got it," Su Ang nodded seriously, "Do you have Light Brain? Can I add you as a friend? You can counsel me when the time comes."

The seasoned national idol placed the little girl on equal footing, earnest and sincere in attitude.

Xiao Min nodded eagerly like a pecking chick, "Mmm mmm mmm!"

Then she added, "Don’t worry! I won’t spill it to anyone! I’ll add you!"

The silver-haired young man smiled softly, accepting Xiao Min’s friend request. Xiao Min happened to glance at something and exclaimed in surprise, "Ah! You don’t even have Sister Qiqi as a friend?!"

"Hmm..." The silver-haired young man nodded slightly, with a somewhat guilty expression, "I owed her money before, and she seems still mad about that."

"That’s not good! Sister Qiqi cares a lot about money! It’s her sore spot!" Xiao Min said seriously, "If you end up on her blacklist, don’t expect to get off!"

Su Ang thought about it; he seemed to have been on her blacklist, but later, she took him off.

Thinking about it, he might be a bit special, after all?

"Hmm, as your ace wingman, I must take some responsibility." Putting away the Light Brain, Xiao Min carefully looked Su Ang over, nodded her little head as if confirming something, then swiftly ran into the building.

Soon, she returned, clutching two small plush toys about 8cm long, running over and pinning one, a fluffy brown bear toy, onto the front of his clothes near his left chest with great importance.

Originally cool with a bit of softness, his temperament instantly gained some youthful vitality due to the appearance of the fluffy bear, making him seem more approachable.

"Brilliant!" Xiao Min admired her work, indulging in praise, "I’m truly a genius, what a waste not using it to win girls!"

Beside her, Xiao An: "... Stop, you’re only seven! Don’t mimic Sister Qiqi’s nonsense!"

"Hmph~" Xiao Min haughtily lifted her little nose, "Just wait and see! Sister Qiqi will definitely be charmed by this!"

——

Qian Qi had swatted at the system all afternoon but couldn’t draw anything useful from it.

She gazed at the system panel with a suspicious look, "I have reason to believe that you purposely lowered the drop rates to make me draw more!"

The system wiped its greasy little mouth, [Slandering the system might get your head swallowed~]

Qian Qi: ...

Qian Qi looked a bit frustrated.

[Don’t be discouraged,] the system hurriedly comforted its primary benefactor, [When giving gifts, you have to give what’s truly wanted, and this system knows exactly what he likes!]

Qian Qi immediately perked up, "What is it?"

[Hehehe...]

Even though the system had no face, only two words and an ellipsis on the panel, Qian Qi could still perceive its sly and suggestive expression.

[If you give him a kiss, he’ll give you his life!]

Qian Qi: ...

Damn, don’t think that just because I didn’t read novels in my last life, I wouldn’t recognize this embarrassing trope!

My roommate binge-watches videos and reads novels!

"Forget it, I shouldn’t rely on you." Qian Qi got up and went downstairs. She should probably make more spiritual power treatment potions, and if worse comes to worst, gift him the formula...

She’s no fool. Although Sikong Wang and Su Ang didn’t say anything that day, seeing Xi Pingzhe in combat armor unharmed in the Magic Locust Tide, she guessed that it wasn’t just any ordinary A-level combat armor.

That was a double-layered S-Class combat armor, the value of which is unmistakable, and it might have even required great effort on his part to exchange for it...

Thinking of Su Ang’s S-Class windbreaker suit that he never wore again, Qian Qi scratched her head vigorously.

"I wonder if I can defeat an S-Class Magical Beast... and which beast skin would be comfortable to wear..." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

The system just wanted to come closer when Qian Qi pushed it away, "You don’t know either!"

System: ...

Stingy!!!

By noon, the noodles personally cooked by the director had already been digested, and Qian Qi was starving. Knowing that she digests quickly and gets hungry faster, the cafeteria had already started cooking, and it wouldn’t be long before she could eat.

"Xiao Min, Xiao An, have you finished your homework?" As soon as she went downstairs, Qian Qi’s voice urging them to finish their homework echoed through the corridor and into the courtyard.

"Finished~!" Xiao Min shouted, "Brother Xiao An and I are going to help at the cafeteria, Sister Qiqi, take good care of Brother Su for me~!"

By the time Qian Qi walked out, the two kids were nowhere in sight, leaving only Su Ang sitting there.

The silver-haired young man was truly well-behaved, spending the entire afternoon doing laundry without bothering Qian Qi. With the clothes all washed, he sat on a small stool correcting kids’ homework, the cold making his fingers red, leaving shaky notes on the papers.

Qian Qi belatedly realized.

When she did laundry at the orphanage as a child, she used cold water too, so she didn’t find anything unusual. It only dawned on her that the young man probably hadn’t done laundry in his life...

Oh, no, Qian Qi reconsidered; this might be a stereotype. Watching him wash clothes earlier, he didn’t seem unpracticed. When he works in instances, short stays are one month, long ones two; surely, he would have laundered clothes then?

Presumably, he’d also used cold water for washing.

But definitely hadn’t washed half a day’s worth of clothes before... Moreover, these chores were originally hers to do.

Lightly coughing in her heart, Qian Qi moved closer, catching sight of the plush bear accessory on Su Ang.

Admittedly, the brown plush bear truly matched the silver-haired young man perfectly. The grinning bear looked just like the relieved and relaxed young man, shedding its danger, turning adorable and approachable, tempting people to squeeze it.

In fact, Qian Qi couldn’t help but do just that, "I hadn’t seen this before? Who got it for you? It’s really cute."

Holding the bear, the girl’s proximity to the young man was very near. She bent over, her fluffy brownish short hair disobediently brushed against the young man’s cheek, tickling him lightly. Her slender neck, slightly bruised, was exposed to him, and the persistent scent of her shower gel lazily wafted into his nose—a faint, pleasant citrusy aroma.

Her bruises aren’t healed yet; they must still hurt.

The young man’s gaze flicked, catching her collarbone from the corner of his eye. She was always simple and coolly dressed at the orphanage, a plain, loose white shirt, slightly revealing the skin past the collar as she leaned over.

He hurriedly averted his gaze, throat moving slightly, as if swallowing.

After fiddling with the bear charm a few times, Qian Qi stood up again, "It suits you well, adds a touch of liveliness."

"Mm... yeah." The silver-haired young man’s voice was deep and slightly staggered, "Then I’ll wear it more often."

Quickly thinking of something, he added, "Different styles, refreshing."

Qian Qi imagined the usually untouchable national idol, the Undying War God, full of heroic allure, wearing different soft, cute charms every day when going out...

"Mm... yeah, as long as you’re happy." Qian Qi patted his shoulder, supporting him with feigned sincerity.
