My Real-life Dating Sim Game - Chapter 83
Zhao Yang paused. He shook his head and spoke in a calm voice,
[…no, no need. We don’t have proof that the drug is harmful. That woman can get away by saying the drug is meant to ease the customer’s feelings.]
Zhao Yang’s eyes flickered in a cold light. His voice got deeper. [Just keep an eye on her. We will keep visiting this bar. But…be careful.]
The man raised his guard toward Tan Xinya, as well as dropping his good opinion about her.
TING! [Barometer drops!]
This notification greeted Tan Xinya just when she already collected her feelings.
The woman was in a restroom and was about to go back to the bar when the notification hit her hard.
! Dropping…?
Tan Xinya’s face paled. The woman staggered, losing her balance.
“Mistress!” Verco shouted in reflex. He immediately helped his mistress and dragged her back to the restroom.
‘What’s going on?? Why is my mistress’ barometer suddenly dropping? Something is going on here!’
Despite his curiosity, Verco couldn’t check the barometer without his mistress’ order. He could only wish that his mistress would recover soon from the blow.
After all, this was the first time that woman had her barometer dropping!
While Tan Xinya was on the verge of fainting, Lai Jiayi was the opposite. The girl had dealt with the drug effect, and now, her mind was as clear as ever.
[Yaya, I think we haven’t checked Tan Xinya’s barometer, right?] Lai Jiayi stroked her hair. She glanced at the barmaid and the bartender counterparts.
Tan Xinya hasn’t come back.
[We haven’t, quack. Do you want to check that woman’s barometer, quack? You still have enough points, quack.]
[Mmm. Check it. Now we have failed her plan to win Friyay Special Mission…I wonder if her barometer is high or not.]
[Okay, quack.] Yaya immediately deducted Lai Jiayi’s points, and a notification sounded.
TING! [Checking Tan Xinya’s barometer. -10 points. Total points: 800.]
A few seconds after the notification sounded, Yaya whispered to Lai Jiayi through telepathy.
[Tan Xinya’s barometer is 20%, quack! But it just dropped by 5%, so her initial barometer is actually 25%, quack.] Yaya fidgeted.
‘That’s quite a high barometer.’
Lai Jiayi also thought the same. The girl subconsciously bit her lips.
[That’s around my barometer, huh. So, Zhao Yang is actually close to Tan Xinya…]
‘Or maybe he is just touched since Tan Xinya comforts him while he drinks?’
[Ah, right, the barometer dropping case…why is that?] Lai Jiayi blinked fast. The girl peeked at Zhao Yang, who appeared to be talking to Tianjin.
‘I think it’s because of this guy here…’
[The history said that the barometer dropped because Zhao Yang suspects Tan Xinya for drugging his drink, quack. That woman lost his trust, ] Yaya explained. The duck couldn’t help but grin.
[I think the barometer will drop further, quack. It might not stop at 20%. It can be lower, quack!]
Hearing the news, Lai Jiayi tugged the corner of her lips. [Then, our plan is a success. We sabotaged Tan Xinya’s effort to win the Friyay event, and also dropped her barometer!]
[Yes, quack. Congrats, quack! Now you only need to focus on accompanying Zhao Yang tonight and think of a plan tomorrow, quack.] Yaya nodded.
‘It’s time to strike big time!’
[Mmn. Let’s discuss tomorrow’s plan after we go home. For now…should I pretend I’m still drunk?] Lai Jiayi peeked at Zhao Yang again.
The guy had finished his drink. So, it’s either round two or that’s it.
[Pretend you are still drunk, quack so that you won’t feel awkward. Good luck, quack!] Yaya slapped Lai Jiayi’s back and hid behind the girl again.
The stinging pain on the girl’s back just made Lai Jiayi sober for real. She couldn’t help but sigh.
‘Okay, now…what to do? I doubt Tan Xinya will come back. She must have been shocked twice. While she’s not here…what should I do…’
Lai Jiayi was still thinking of her next action when Zhao Yang suddenly poked her left arm, sending an electrocuting sensation to the girl.
“Wah!” Lai Jiayi subconsciously shrieked. The girl abruptly turned around and saw Zhao Yang was looking at her with a pair of warm eyes.
“Miss Lai? Are you fine?” His deep voice sounded so melodious at the moment, not menacing at all.
Lai Jiayi felt her ears turn red. Her ear lobes were hot as if someone blew hot air to it.
“Uh…I…I am good?” Lai Jiayi tilted her head, pretending to be innocent. The girl had stopped crying, and her face was also clean. She had wiped the tear trace on her cheeks beforehand.
“Mmm….” Zhao Yang blinked. He stared at Lai Jiayi for a few seconds before slowly opening his mouth, looking dramatic.
“Miss, if you don’t mind, I think I should compensate you for all the things I did to you.” Zhao Yang averted his eyes. His ears slowly turned red.
“I don’t want to leave a bad impression on you, so…” The man coughed. He touched the back of his head while mumbling,
“How should I compensate for you? Do you want anything?” Zhao Yang asked as he looked away from Lai Jiayi. He couldn’t see the girl at all. Thus, he just pretended that he’s staring at someone else.
Silence fell between the two. Lai Jiayi’s eyelashes fluttered as she held her breath.
‘Eh? Instead of getting mad at all my complaints, he wants to compensate me?’
Lai Jiayi felt her heart just beat faster. Her blood rushed to her head.
‘This…isn’t this a good opportunity?? I should think of what I want to ask!!’
