Powerful survival instincts

Si Yehan put down the teacup and glanced up at her. "There are many good-looking people in this world."

Ye Wanwan replied without any hesitation, "Nonsense! There isn't anyone better looking than you!"

Just as she said that, a voice suddenly came from the door, "Little girl, aren't your words too… absolute?"

The hypnotized Ye Wanwan was astonished. She didn't expect to see Jiang Lihen in her memories.

Si Yehan's good looks were the fleeting and illusory type that seemed separated by a layer of muslin, emanating a great sense of distance. But Jiang Lihen's good looks were different. He was an earthly peony that any seer could hit on.

As someone obsessed with looks, Ye Wanwan was truly stunned.

At the same time, Ye Wanwan sharply detected a fresh sense of coldness in the air that caused her to shiver inexplicably.

Ye Wanwan immediately looked away and turned back to Si Yehan, asking, "Baby, who is he? Your friend? Why do you have such an ugly-looking friend?"

When Jiang Lihen heard Ye Wanwan addressing Si Yehan as "baby," he stumbled and fell. That last line nearly caused him to choke, and he incredulously asked, "Cough cough cough cough… what… what… what did you say?! Say it again!"

Ye Wanwan scampered toward Si Yehan's side and peered at him in a docile, well-behaved, and adorable manner. "No worries, baby. I might have a face complex, but I will reluctantly greet him if he's your friend."

The unspoken line was "I might have a face complex, but I only have a complex about your face."

The hypnotized Ye Wanwan was shocked by her immensely powerful survival instincts back then and almost couldn't resist sitting up and clapping for herself!

She was seriously too awesome, alright?!

It turned out she was already so skilled back then!

Si Yehan glanced at her arm around his, and a gentleness he himself didn't detect arose in his eyes. "What… did you call me?"

Ye Wanwan looked up and daintily replied, "Baby! Do you like this nickname?"

They still didn't know each other's names and never asked the other person. After all, the other person came from the enemy faction and held an opposing status, so they tacitly avoided this.

Ye Wanwan leaned closer and her cautious appearance was like she was approaching some particularly easy-to-frighten small animal. "Um… can I keep calling you this from now on?"

Si Yehan's expression was dazed when he met her bright and resplendent eyes. A moment later, he expressionlessly responded, "It's just a nickname. As you please."

Ye Wanwan was elated. "That's great! Then I'll call you 'baby' from now on. You can call me… en, call me darling!"

Ye Wanwan didn't have any sense of rejection and cheerfully decided everything on her own.

"Sh*t… My eyes…" Jiang Lihen couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Si Yehan glanced at the incredulous Jiang Lihen, the distaste in his eyes obvious. "Did you need something?"

"Ay, I was afraid you'd be bored, so I came to visit you. It looks like you probably won't need me?"

Si Yehan: "No need."

Jiang Lihen: "…"

Faced with his best friend's heartlessness, Jiang Lihen clutched his heavily wounded heart before saying to Ye Wanwan with a chuckle, "Little girl, your taste is very unique. You actually like this guy?"

Ye Wanwan was very displeased by Jiang Lihen's words. "What about my taste huh? My baby is gentle and wonderful and kind-hearted and pure. Moreover, he's a lotus flower who emerged unsoiled from the mud and cleansed of the world's evils! He's the best and nicest person in the world!"
