Chapter 53: Online Dating a Bad Beta

“What were you doing in the capsule hotel just now?”

“Doing a good deed.”

The red apple: “?” It didn’t quite understand how Xi Congshuang could be associated with this phrase one day.

Besides being a person, what other new relationship could she have with the phrase “good deed”?

Xi Congshuang calmly drank her tea. “She was troubled by the pheromones outside. I took her to calm down, so as not to delay time.”

Her tone was businesslike. Even if the imaginative Glorie had heard it, she wouldn’t have been able to find anything wrong with her tone and expression.

Because in that situation, there was no other way to solve it.

The red apple was shocked and greatly puzzled. “Wouldn’t it be the same if you had put her in the capsule hotel alone to recover?”

Since the place was made of pheromone-blocking materials, putting the heroine in alone would have had the same effect.

Besides, the host was not an omega with soothing pheromones. Her presence inside was basically useless.

“…”

The reception room fell silent.

That seems to make a lot of sense. Then why did she do that?

Xi Congshuang suddenly asked, “You seem to be resistant to me getting close to the heroine?”

The red apple retorted without thinking, “Not at all. You’ve misunderstood.”

Xi Congshuang looked over but couldn’t see anything wrong with the red apple.

It was red all over, with no face or expression. Besides distinguishing its front and back by its wings, there was basically no difference.

The red apple added, “Actually, I’m very supportive of the host taking the initiative to get close to the heroine. Otherwise, the mission can’t be completed.”

Xi Congshuang did not refute, nor did she have any opinion on the system’s attempt to cover up.

She nodded and said calmly, “Yes.”

Faced with Xi Congshuang, whose memory was at its original point, it was probably harder than climbing to the sky to know what she was thinking. But if it and the host continued to be in this state, it would probably be detrimental to the mission.

It had to find a way to change things.

Having made up its mind, the red apple started a topic. “Speaking of which, we don’t seem to have gotten to know each other. Do you want to chat?”

Xi Congshuang was indifferent.

The red apple revealed its true intentions. “Then do you have anyone you like, or a type?”

Xi Congshuang became a little interested. “I don’t have a type I like. I won’t like anyone. What about you? What kind of… system do you like?”

The red apple’s tone was strange. “Artificial intelligence has no feelings. How could it like anyone?”

Xi Congshuang continued to expand on it. “Then if feelings develop between systems, does that count as an office romance?”

The red apple: “…”

What kind of question is this?

Xi Congshuang asked again, “Does it count as an office romance?”

“…” The red apple thought quickly. After a round of analysis, it said with difficulty, “I guess so.”

Xi Congshuang was satisfied. “I think so too.”

“…”

The first round of probing ended in a crushing defeat for the system.

But it was not too discouraged, and its mood was not bad.

Because it remembered that the last heroine had turned from a half-blackened person into a pure and lively little sweet cake, then she was very likely the pure and lively type of woman.

The current Tan Yicheng was the bitter and hateful, revenge-seeking type, not at all related to a pure and lively little sweet cake.

The persona didn’t count. The host hated pretentious people the most. Xi Congshuang felt that it was a deception.

And after calculation, its host was the type of person who would bloom like an iron tree. Because her emotional experience was too scarce, she would be faithful to one person.

The red apple was completely relieved. This time, it should not repeat the same mistake.

It was a bit boring to be alone in the reception room. Xi Congshuang stood up, preparing to go out for a walk.

She was tired of hearing the constantly fluctuating collapse value in her ear. One moment it was +1, and the next it was -2, like elementary school addition and subtraction, constantly doing addition and subtraction within five. A notification every few seconds was very annoying.

You couldn’t tell her mood from Xi Congshuang’s expression, but from the frequency of the system’s wings flapping, it was very nervous, to the point of talking nonsense with her, saying things like “the type you like.”

Now the heroine’s collapse value had accumulated to a very dangerous number. It was the kind where a slight carelessness would result in the mission being judged as a failure.

The heroine, who was undergoing an examination, did not know that there was another system in the world that was empathizing with her, her mood fluctuating like a roller coaster.

“Collapse value -1. Current collapse value: 90.”

“Hard work will be rewarded. Look how much you’ve progressed!”

After a round of addition and subtraction, the collapse value actually remained in a downward trend, completely returning to its original point.

“…”

Xi Congshuang’s walking pace paused. She looked at the system on the side. Going in circles and returning to the original point. Is this really not a mockery?

The red apple also fell into a strange silence, dropped a “I’m going to delete the encouragement program now,” and disappeared in a hurry.

Glorie had been sent by her to run an errand. Xi Congshuang was walking around alone.

This hospital was very large. After walking around for a long time, Xi Congshuang completely lost the desire to continue exploring. She found a place to sit down and looked up at the sky.

In fact, in Xi Congshuang’s eyes, Tan Yicheng’s existence was not as terrible as the system thought. The beginning of her collapse value was because her gland was damaged. As long as her gland was cured, the other party might generously let her go.

If the collapse value was still stubborn after she was cured, she could take the route of making friends with her. She would provide the funds, and the other party would just have to fight in her favorite field and become a rising star in the interstellar military.

After the matter was settled, the two of them could collude, achieving a win-win situation. She would complete the mission and leave, and the other party would reach the pinnacle of her life.

She had not considered the possibility of not being able to cure her at all. If she couldn’t cure the damaged gland, even if she went bankrupt, she would have to create a healthy gland for Tan Yicheng.

No one could stop her from completing the mission.

And the above plan had to be completed within three years.

The original owner had died at the beginning. The red apple had told her that her mission time was only three years, and she should not be willful.

Three years should be enough.

It was now evening. The artificial sun was slowly setting along its predetermined trajectory. The sky was a gradient of orange-red, with layers of color. The places far from the sun were a brilliant and deep dark blue, dotted with stars.

Because the time and trajectory of the sunset were predetermined, in order to increase the fun of the star citizens’ lives, the scenery of the sunset was different every day, and the colors were also different. The moonlight began to brighten, about to overwhelm the afterglow of the sun and replace it.

Although in Xi Congshuang’s eyes, the different sunsets were just ordinary. In the first twenty-plus years of her life, she had never seen the same sunset.

As expected, this world was completely different from the world she had been in before, and the heroine, who was closely related to her life, had an unpredictable personality.

A figure passed by the window above her head, brushing past the passing nurses, her expression heavy with worry.

In the nurses’ eyes, her expression was also ordinary. They had seen too many similar expressions, either desperate, or numb, or filled with hope, and also tears of joy.

“From the current situation, there is a chance for you to recover your gland. You will stay in the hospital for the time being, and I will be fully responsible for you.”

The relaxed and confident voice still echoed in her ears. For a moment, Tan Yicheng thought she was having an auditory hallucination.

So she eagerly asked again and got the same answer. She had never thought that she, who had repeatedly failed to seek medical treatment, could still hear such an answer.

In a daze, Tan Yicheng walked out of the office and walked out aimlessly.

She also stood in the hospital corridor and saw the dusk.

The setting sun was like molten gold, and the view was golden. Tan Yicheng looked down and saw an unexpected person.

That familiar hair whorl, that familiar proper posture, it was Xi Congshuang, no doubt.

“Why is she still here?” Tan Yicheng had thought that she had already left and did not want to see her sunbathing downstairs in the hospital.

A few minutes later, a familiar figure appeared not far from Xi Congshuang. Tan Yicheng walked from her right, and the setting sun elongated her shadow.

There was a purification system in the hospital. She, who was abnormally sensitive to external pheromones, would not feel too uncomfortable. After going in and coming out, she was stained with the smell of disinfectant.

Logically speaking, she should be heading to the reserved hospital room, not here to talk to Xi Congshuang.

If it weren’t for recognizing that it was Xi Congshuang, she would have almost thought that this was a patient from the inpatient area who had come to the vicinity for a walk.

It was strange. Although Xi Congshuang was healthy and could fight, she always saw her as a sickly woman with a frail body, her illness difficult to get rid of, and perhaps her whole body was even shrouded in the bitter smell of medicine.

Remembering the capsule hotel where she had been forced to be alone in the afternoon, Tan Yicheng denied this idea. She did not have a bitter medicinal smell, only a woody perfume smell.

“Xi Congshuang, why are you still here?” Tan Yicheng stood at a distance and said.

The person who was covered in the setting sun did not answer, and did not even pay attention, still staring at the distance in a daze.

Tan Yicheng also looked at the horizon. The setting sun showed a corner behind the building. It was either dazzling or dazzling. What was there to see?

But the other party’s indifferent attitude made the suspicion in Tan Yicheng’s heart rise. With the thought of confirming something, she slowly approached the other party.

One step, one step, the shadows of the two of them also approached each other. The long shadow on the ground moved. She raised her hand, about to touch the seated back.

However, she did not succeed. The seated figure suddenly moved, dodging Tan Yicheng’s outstretched hand.

Xi Congshuang looked up, and Tan Yicheng looked down. Their eyes met, and both were stunned.

“…”

Just now, Xi Congshuang’s gaze… was very unfamiliar. Her smoky-gray pupils contracted, and her body tensed.

Tan Yicheng believed that if she had been a little faster, the other party would have fought back, the kind that was merciless.

Instead of a vigilant or annoyed gaze, it was more like… she was frightened.

Frightened?

Xi Congshuang would be frightened?

That night, she had sneaked into her home, and the knife was at her neck, but she had not shown a single bit of fear. Tan Yicheng really couldn’t think of anything in the world that could scare her, and she found it quite novel.

Xi Congshuang: “Did you call me?”

“…Yes.” Tan Yicheng, who felt that something was wrong, patiently repeated what she had just said.

Xi Congshuang maintained her side-sitting posture and casually found an excuse. “After finishing my business, I had nothing to do, so I sat here for some peace and quiet.”

Remembering something, she added, “This hospital, I’m a major shareholder. You can rest assured and stay here. If you have any needs, just tell me directly.”

To ensure the stability of the mission, Xi Congshuang planned to personally take over the matter of the heroine.

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Tan Yicheng thought that this young miss was being inhumanly rich and not speaking human words again. Combined with the context, it became a human word again.

And a very nice human word.

Tan Yicheng: “In that case, since you’re a major shareholder of the hospital, you can check the examination results at any time. I won’t go into details. It’s getting late. Shall I see you off?”

Xi Congshuang stood up. “No need. I can go out myself.”

The more Tan Yicheng looked at Xi Congshuang, the less she looked like Xi Congshuang. Without thinking, she followed. “Do you still remember the way? The hospital is very big.”

Xi Congshuang reminded her, “You forgot who was responsible for your current need for treatment.”

Tan Yicheng’s face was nonchalant. “I’m magnanimous. I forgive you. Now I’ll see you off.”

Lying.

The unwavering collapse value has already explained everything.

Xi Congshuang glanced at her, turned, and continued to walk. The person behind her continued to follow.

Coincidentally, she was walking on Xi Congshuang’s right, half a step behind.

Now, the tables had turned. This afternoon, the person following behind Tan Yicheng was Xi Congshuang, and she was even staring at the back of her neck.

Tan Yicheng was also learning from her, always staring at Xi Congshuang’s right ear, her gaze dark and unclear.

It was impossible for Xi Congshuang not to notice her gaze, but she was unmoved. Her ear tips did not even turn red. She raised her hand to book an aircraft.

As if on cue, just as Xi Congshuang reached the hospital gate, an oval-shaped aircraft stopped in front of her, and the door opened with a sound.

The aircraft had arrived, and Xi Congshuang was preparing to leave.

“I’m leaving. If you need anything, just send me a message.” Xi Congshuang said.

In her perception, the protagonist’s fate was always full of ups and downs. The temporary setbacks and obstacles were all ladders for her to get out of her slump. Of course, there would be stumbling blocks on the way. However, she was now that stumbling block. She had to guard against more small stumbling blocks causing trouble for her and being two-faced behind her back.

But if the heroine was unwilling to speak, then it had nothing to do with her. Since things had come to this, she was not the type to be a nanny.

Suddenly, Tan Yicheng said something in a low voice. Xi Congshuang subconsciously answered, “It’s okay. Do you want me to come and see you?”

Hurried footsteps came from behind. Xi Congshuang’s shoulder was pushed, the aircraft shook, and the door closed.

“Such a big temper. Just because I’m not staying with you, you’re going to get angry?”

Xi Congshuang fell back on the spacious seat of the aircraft, her eyes reflecting the other person. Her knees were bent and inserted between Tan Yicheng’s legs, her leg muscles tense, ready to flip the person on top of her at any time.

Her actions were the opposite of her relaxed tone and content. Tan Yicheng simply translated her words into four words—Are you looking for death?

Tan Yicheng propped herself up on the seat, her body slowly sinking. Her hot breath fell on the side of her right ear. Xi Congshuang subconsciously frowned and dodged.

This ear couldn’t hear, which made her care more about the feeling on this side of her ear. She didn’t like to be touched.

The person who was being held by the back of her neck by Xi Congshuang let out a muffled laugh. She raised her head, turned to the other side, and bent down.

“Xi Congshuang, can’t you hear in your right ear?”

This sentence entered Xi Congshuang’s ear word by word. She instantly realized that just now, Tan Yicheng had also said this sentence in her right ear.

The setting sun was completely hidden behind the tall buildings, and the lights were lit up. In the car, two people were overlapping, one on top of the other. One was bending down, and the other was raising her hand to press on the back of the person on top of her.

An uninformed person who saw this would have thought they were asking for a kiss.

“…”

Xi Congshuang stared at her calmly.

Tan Yicheng knew she had guessed right. “Did your left ear move just now? Were you trying to catch what I said?”

Xi Congshuang finally spoke. “I advise you not to touch my right ear.”

“I won’t.” Tan Yicheng had finally grasped Xi Congshuang’s weakness. How could she listen to her advice? Her fingertip touched her earlobe. Her first reaction was that it was soft.

So a cold person’s earlobe is unexpectedly soft, with a cool temperature, a bit like jelly.

Tan Yicheng wanted to pinch it again, but her vision suddenly changed. She was flipped over, and the person who had suddenly lost her balance subconsciously adjusted her center of gravity and stood firm on the ground.

Blown by the night wind, she finally understood that she had been pushed out of the aircraft.

The person sitting in the aircraft glanced at her coldly, closed the door, and left.

Anyone with eyes could see that Xi Congshuang was in a very bad mood. If the other party was in a bad mood, then Tan Yicheng was in a very good mood.

The back of the aircraft completely disappeared from sight. Tan Yicheng raised her hand and pressed the back of her neck. “It’s starting to get hot again. So troublesome.”

The hand that Xi Congshuang had placed on the back of her neck was not polite at all. There was a sense of pressure that she was going to dig out her own gland with her bare hands.

After that hand left, the hot back of her neck actually missed that cool temperature.

“I’ll go back and get an ice pack to continue the ice pack.”

***

Xi Congshuang did not get home smoothly. She was called to an appointment by a sudden communication. She did not want to go, but the other party called her “cousin” one after another, her tone quite familiar.

“Everyone is here. We’re just waiting for you. Why are you willing to stay at home today?”

Hearing this, Xi Congshuang decided to temporarily maintain her persona and go and take a look.

The result was that the destination was the port, and a small spaceship parked on the side was about to set sail.

The organizer was an alpha. She had organized a party and invited many friends to play. Xi Congshuang was also among them.

In the crowd, the girl who had been calling her “cousin” quickly came forward to greet her. She was also an alpha.

The girl winked at Xi Congshuang, beckoned her to get on the ship, and said to her in a low voice, “Don’t worry, cousin. There are many alphas tonight. You can choose as you please. You can sit for a while first.”

As she spoke, they arrived at the place. She pressed Xi Congshuang onto the sofa and hurriedly left.

It seemed that the other party was indeed very familiar with her and knew Xi Congshuang’s hobbies very well.

Speaking of taking a spaceship to the sky to see the stars, it was like the profligates in her world who always liked to rent a yacht to go out to sea to fish. The main purpose was to eat, drink, and be merry, to eat, drink, and be merry in seclusion, as if that would be more exciting.

Now the party hadn’t started to warm up yet, and it was still quiet. Xi Congshuang was not in a hurry to leave. The smart device on her wrist vibrated. Someone had sent her a message.

She had thought it was Glorie looking for her. She raised her wrist to look and saw an unexpected person.

[orange]: I found a song and wanted to share it with you. Remember to wear headphones for a better effect.

[orange]: (cat with both paws on its face.jpg)

This message was followed by a music link.

Without thinking, she also knew that Tan Yicheng had just tested her weakness and was impatiently using this method to anger her.

After figuring this out, Xi Congshuang was not angry at all, just feeling as if she had been hissed at by a stray cat. The cat thought it was very threatening, but in fact, it looked fluffier and more pettable.

Tan Yicheng in the hospital had changed her clothes and was half-leaning against the bed, taking in Xi Congshuang’s reply.

“She’s not even angry about this?”

The uncomprehending Tan Yicheng scrolled up the chat history and saw many links she had shared in the past to get closer.

A miscalculation. It’s not the first time she’s shared music or videos with her. She could tolerate it before. Now that she’s deliberately hiding it, what special reaction could she have?

It’s just a pity that I couldn’t see Xi Congshuang’s expression when she saw this link. Her expression must have been like snow again, with a cold face, staring at people with her eyes.

A young miss is a young miss. Even when she’s angry, she’s quiet and elegant, with zero aggression.

Just thinking about it, Tan Yicheng felt relieved.

An assistant who was recording data on the side asked strangely, “What’s angry? Is Miss Tan not feeling well anywhere else?”

Tan Yicheng came to her senses and shook her head. “No.”

“That’s good. The treatment hasn’t started yet. Miss Tan’s every feeling is very important. You must inform us in time.” The assistant finished her business, went out with the clipboard, and closed the door.

But Tan Yicheng was still not relieved and sent another message, “Are you listening?”

As she typed, Tan Yicheng said, “You want to leave just like that? I’ll make you sick of me.”

[orange]: Are you very busy recently? I feel that your tone has become much more bland, so short.

[orange]: You weren’t like this before.

[orange]: Do you have someone else you like more?

Seeing the message, Xi Congshuang also fell silent.

If you wanted to get rid of a clingy online dating partner, continuing to be cold was a good opportunity.

But Tan Yicheng was not an ordinary person. She would add to the collapse value. Being cold would only hurt the enemy a thousand and lose eight hundred. It was not worth it.

In the end, she replied, “I’m sorry. I hit my head recently and forgot a lot of things. Maybe the change in my tone is also related to this.”

This was a sincere, sick, and very perfunctory answer. Anyone would back down.

“…”

Tan Yicheng fell into a deep silence. An unbelievable thought appeared in her mind.

—Could it be that she had really been hit in the head by her?
