My Real-life Dating Sim Game - Chapter 53

[Ugh, forget about Zhao Yang. Let’s talk about him being naggy.] Lai Jiayi sighed. [If he’s naggy, it will be easier for us to do this mission, right?]

[What you said is true, quack. If only Zhao Yang is naggy again…lately, he goes back to his cold self, quack!] Yaya knitted his forehead.

‘Why, though? There must be a reason why Zhao Yang suddenly becomes cold again. Personally, I prefer the naggy Zhao Yang than the cold one.’

Yaya shook his head.

‘The naggy Zhao Yang looks warm and caring. I’m less nervous around him when he’s like that.’

Lai Jiayi saw that Yaya went silent. Thus, the girl also shut her mouth. Both of them didn’t talk as they were thinking about the mission.

[I don’t have any idea…what I think of is triggering Zhao Yang’s naggy self again, ] Lai Jiayi spoke in her mind as she peeked at Zhao Yang.

The man was acting as if he never did anything shameless even though he just spurted tea to Lai Jiayi’s face.

Lai Jiayi bit her lips. The girl took a deep breath and sighed.

[I think let’s try triggering his naggy self. There must be a reason why he is holding back lately. So, if we bait him, he might go back to his previous self.]

Lai Jiayi just told Yaya when Qin Bai came back to their seat while bringing their meal. She politely bowed before placing the meal in front of the three people.

Zhao Yang got potato salad and pasta, Zhao Yun got steak, and Lai Jiayi…got a bowl of chicken soup with lots of vegetables.

…what?

Lai Jiayi stared at her bowl without blinking.

‘I don’t think I even order anything, ah. So how to hell I got this chicken soup?’

Lai Jiayi didn’t move and just gripped the spoon next to the bowl. The girl didn’t know whether to laugh or not.

‘I’m not paying for the meal, so I should be grateful for anything these two ordered for me. But…I don’t like carrots, ah!!’

Lai Jiayi stiffly stirred the chicken soup using her spoon. One could see lots of carrots floating on the surface of the clear broth.

Lai Jiayi’s face turned slightly dark.

‘Can I not eat the carrots??’

Yaya, who was floating near Lai Jiayi, saw the girl’s expression, and he couldn’t help but whisper in the girl’s mind.

[What’s wrong, quack? Is the soup poisoned?]

Lai Jiayi shook her head. [No, it’s not. But I can’t eat this soup…] The girl exhaled.

[Why not, quack? It looks delicious– ]

[I don’t like carrots. This soup has so many carrots! Why the hell Zhao Yang and Zhao Yun even ordered a chicken soup for me??]

Lai Jiayi glanced at the duo Zhao in front of her. The two of them were quietly eating their meal. Zhao Yun was cutting the steak when he lifted his face. His eyes met Lai Jiayi’s eyes.

“Mm? What’s wrong, miss? You haven’t touched your soup.” Zhao Yun tilted his head. “Is it not to your liking?”

Lai Jiayi’s hand suddenly froze. The girl almost dropped the spoon she was holding.

“N-no, it’s just– the soup is still hot.” Lai Jiayi laughed awkwardly. The girl then tried her best to scoop the broth and carefully sipped it.

The warm and rich taste of the broth slowly entered Lai Jiayi’s body. The girl couldn’t help but put on a blissful smile.

‘Ahhh, not bad. If only they don’t have carrots.’

Zhao Yun saw the look Lai Jiayi made, and he chuckled.

“So you like it, huh. Thank God! I thought you wouldn’t like chicken soup, but uncle said you are just recovering from fever, so– ”

“Eat.” Zhao Yang interrupted Zhao Yun. He stuffed the boy’s mouth with a piece of steak on Zhao Yun’s plate.

Zhao Yun instantly shut his mouth. The boy couldn’t speak and could only grumble.

‘Ugh, uncle, why are you like this? I just want to make you look good in front of her!’

Zhao Yun pouted. He stabbed the meat piece on his plate and silently ate.

Lai Jiayi was watching these two conversations, and the girl silently cursed Zhao Yang.

‘So you are the one ordering the soup for me! Ha, you look like you care, but you aren’t– wait.’

Lai Jiayi stopped her hand from moving the spoon to her mouth. The spoon stopped a few centimeters from the girl’s lips. The steams from the piping hot broth slowly hit Lai Jiayi’s nose.

[Yaya, did you hear what Zhao Yun said?] the girl asked without looking at Yaya.

[You mean about how Zhao Yang ordered the soup for you, quack?] Yaya tilted his head.

‘What’s the relationship between that and our mission, anyway?’

[…Zhao Yun said that Zhao Yang ordered the soup because I had just recovered. Then doesn’t this mean…]

Lai Jiayi’s hand was trembling as she sipped the broth again.

[Zhao Yang is actually still naggy? He still cares for me just like he cares about Zhao Yun!]

Lai Jiayi’s words struck Yaya. The duck floated higher and sat on Lai Jiayi’s shoulder before he gawked at the girl’s side face.

[So, quack, you are saying that…]

[Yes. I think we can try this. Zhao Yang is still naggy. It’s just that he hides it well.] Lai Jiayi nodded. [Coincidentally, I have these carrots that I don’t like. If Zhao Yang sees me not eating the carrots…]

[What will he do then, quack?] Yaya asked with a face full of curiosity.

[There might be a chance that Zhao Yang will force me to eat! He might as well feed me!]

There’s hope!!
