Chapter 14: Love is Blind? Lian Qingxue’s Invitation!

Qi Yun’s transformation was of course due to the physical enhancement capsules awarded by the system. But Lian Qingxue didn’t know this. All she knew was that when she looked at Qi Yun these days, she found him increasingly handsome, even more perfect.

“Xiao Yu, I think there’s something wrong with my eyes lately,” Lian Qingxue said, resting her chin on her arm in the orphanage, looking worriedly at the girl next to her.

Xiao Yu was a friend with whom she had grown up in the orphanage. They were best friends who shared everything with each other.

“Is there something wrong with your eyes? Are you going blind?” Xiao Yu was shocked and worried.

“You’re the one who’s going blind! I just feel like I see someone differently every day.”

“How so?” Xiao Yu was confused.

“It’s like… he’s getting more and more attractive, and I can’t get enough of him, even though I see him every day! I feel like I’m not normal!” Lian Qingxue frowned. She was genuinely upset. She hadn’t felt this way before, and her symptoms seemed to be getting worse.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu, who was previously listless, suddenly became animated. “Really! Is it a boy or a girl?”

“A boy.”

“You’ve fallen in love!”

“Love… love?” Lian Qingxue was stunned.

“What else can this be? ‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder’, you’re clearly deeply in love, unable to extricate yourself, showing late-stage symptoms of lovesickness!” Xiao Yu stood up, waving her arms, using all the vocabulary she had learned in her life.

“Can’t be, isn’t that too exaggerated?” Lian Qingxue felt something was off.

“You tell me, don’t you think about him every day?”

Lian Qingxue blushed, “I do, but just a little bit.”

“Do you feel like you can’t see enough of him every day?”

“Yes… a little bit.”

“Do you feel like he’s getting more perfect every day? More and more attractive to you?”

“Indeed…”

Bang!

Xiao Yu’s hands slammed down in front of Lian Qingxue, her eyes blazing, “Based on my many years of experience, you, Lian Qingxue, are in love!”

Seeing Xiao Yu’s intensity, Lian Qingxue involuntarily shrank back. “But… but you’ve never been in love, where did you get this experience? Xiao Yu, why do you understand so much?”

Lian Qingxue had grown up with Xiao Yu. The latter had never been in love!

Xiao Yu: “…”

That’s painful, how could you remember such sad things so clearly!

“Can’t I learn from the romance novels I read?”

Xiao Yu, a strong wordsmith, deflated but still stubborn: “Even though I haven’t experienced love, I’ve done a lot of research into it!”

“I feel like this doesn’t sound reliable…”

“Do you think what I’m saying makes sense?”

Lian Qingxue hesitated for a moment, it seemed like Xiao Yu’s explanation was the only one that made sense.

“That’s it! Listen, we have a performance during the New Year, right? You bring him over, let me judge for you!”

“Why do I feel like you just want to hear my gossip?” Lian Qingxue looked at Xiao Yu suspiciously.

Xiao Yu put on a serious face: “Not at all! Think about it, haven’t you been to his house?”

“Yes, you knew about that these past few days, right?”

“So, that’s like meeting his parents! Shouldn’t he also meet ours? We are like your parents too!”

“Meet… meet parents?” Lian Qingxue’s face slowly turned red, her eyes flickering.

…

As Lian Qingxue walked to Qi Yun’s house, Qi Yun and his parents were sitting on the sofa watching television.

Watching the TV, Qi Yun’s father suddenly said, “Huh? Hasn’t Qi Yun changed a bit these past few days? He seems more handsome than before.”

“Nonsense, our son has always been handsome!” Qi Yun’s mother dismissed.

“No, look closely, his spirit is different now.”

Qi Yun’s mother turned her head and looked at Qi Yun up and down for a while.

“It seems you’re right! His skin is much better than before! Son, how did you do it? Teach your mother!” Qi Yun’s mother’s eyes gleamed with envy for her son’s skin.

Qi Yun couldn’t disclose the system’s role, so he vaguely replied, “I didn’t do anything. Haven’t I been home all these days? What could I have done?”

“That’s true…” Qi Yun’s mother stroked her chin, falling silent.

While Qi Yun and his father continued watching TV, Qi Yun’s mother suddenly slapped her thigh: “I get it!”

“?”

Both Qi Yun and his father were puzzled.

“It’s the nourishment of love!”

Qi Yun: “?”

What the heck is ‘nourishment of love’!

The system would cry out of grievance if it heard this!

At that moment, Lian Qingxue arrived.

“Is that Little Qingxue?”

Why did it feel like Qi Yun’s mother was more enthusiastic than usual?

However, she was used to coming to Qi Yun’s house by now and didn’t feel uncomfortable.

“Qi Yun, there’s a performance at our orphanage on New Year’s Eve, and a TV station will be filming. Will you come to watch?” She asked, inviting Qi Yun.
