Love Variety Show: The despised me exploded in popularity

Don't spread rumors, don't believe them either; online rumors are truly terrifying.

After spending twenty yuan for a consultation with an online psychologist, the other party asked in detail.

"A friend you've recently met?"

"Yes, about three months or so."

Kangaroo Doctor, "So when he is around you, you feel very reassured. But when he briefly leaves, you toss and turn with insomnia at night?"

"Mm."

Kangaroo Doctor, "Is he your ideal type?"

"I don't know, I don't have an ideal type." Pei Muchan replied with a message and added, "He probably is many people's ideal type."

Kangaroo Doctor, "Do you get nervous when you see him? Like, your heart racing, and then another thing, you don't want to contact him after he leaves?"

"Mm, he probably doesn't lack one like me."

Kangaroo Doctor, "You can rest assured, this is a normal psychological activity during the stage of being in love. I suggest you get more exercise, go out for walks, and try to break...."

The text was too long, Pei Muchan didn't read it all.

Her gaze lingered on the words "being in love," her heart thumped heavily a few times, and in an instant her emotions floated 180,000 miles away, not knowing where she was anymore.

It took her a while to come back to her senses.

Glancing at her phone, there was only 19% battery left. She wanted to get up and get the charger; the room was pitch-black, making her momentarily uncomfortable.

The moment she stood up, Pei Muchan suddenly felt a bit bewildered.

Originally, she had spent over half a year hiding in her house almost completely in the dark. Even during the day, she kept the curtains drawn, accustomed to wandering in darkness.

Just a few months had passed, yet her body instinctively rejected the dark environment. Standing still, she felt strangely out of sorts.

Ding Ding Ding! The sharp ringtone went off; the screen suddenly blazed with bright light.

[Xu requests a video call]

She never really thought Xu Qingyan would... to be honest, she had been waiting for this moment, holding a grudge and not contacting him, just so he would take the initiative to reach out to her.

She had been home from the studio since before three o'clock in the afternoon, distractedly watching TV. But now that the video call had come, she hesitated suddenly.

Clutching her phone, she walked towards the switch and almost stumbled over the coffee table in the darkness. Continue your adventure at My Virtual Library Empire

With a click, she turned on the living room light and tidied her hair in front of the camera. Making sure there were no issues, she then cautiously pressed the green answer button.

She held her breath slightly, thinking of the Kangaroo Doctor's phrase "anxiety over gains and losses," and felt a bit stifled. Telling herself she wouldn't, she was just mindful of her appearance.

With a beep, the video connected successfully.

Xu Qingyan seemed to be in a hotel, holding his phone and looking for a while before realizing the call was connected and asked.

"Are you at home?"

His voice was much gentler than usual, causing Pei Muchan's heart to skip lightly. She inwardly regretted wasting that money; it made her even more confused now.

"Mm." She responded with a sound.

Perhaps because of her nervousness, her voice was a mix between a mature woman and a girlish tone. This completely caught Xu Qingyan off guard, and he swallowed nervously.

This action was too obvious, and didn't escape Pei Muchan's eyes.

That's how girls are; you think they aren't watching you, but they notice when you secretly inflate your cheeks, their thoughts finer than even Di Renjie.

Seeing Xu Qingyan swallow, she couldn't help but find it amusing. She thought to herself that this man really had peculiar tastes, a true pervert, definitely not some straightforward guy.

With Pei Muchan's personality, of course, she wouldn't say it out loud; that would just make both of them uncomfortable. Or maybe it would only make her uncomfortable; Xu Qingyan had a thick skin.

She pursed her lips, as if inadvertently, and used that same voice again. A mature woman's voice with a hint of nasality, the end of her sentences slightly husky.

"Was your job interview smooth today?"

"Mm??" Xu Qingyan touched his face and coughed, "Smooth, quite smooth."

Watching his small movements from off-camera, Pei Muchan's lips curled up slightly. Just a minute ago she had been feeling down, and now she was in high spirits.

"Did you meet with that leader? What department did you get into?"

Xu Qingyan had initially been lying on the bed, but he sat up as soon as Pei Muchan spoke. He had never heard her speak like that before, as if she had just woken up.

It felt like something inside him was touched; damn it, his XP had been awoken.

"I met them, Chief He is actually pretty nice." He recalled for a moment, "I met the director and the other leaders today, they seemed like people from CCTV."

"I think I passed, they told me to keep the reimbursement voucher. But I don't know what I'll exactly be doing yet, have to see tomorrow... it might be an external assignment."

It was mid-October in Xinghai, and there was a hint of chill in the air. Pei Muchan sat on the sofa, watching his expression and softly chuckled.

"Stop laughing."

"What's wrong?" Pei Muchan asked.

Xu Qingyan felt almost dizzy from listening and was curious when Pei Muchan developed this tone, as if she had just woken up or was deliberately teasing.

That laugh, who could withstand it? Even a dull-witted man like Lin Shen would be bent by it.

"It's nothing."

Xu Qingyan collapsed on the bed, still holding the phone, and squirmed on the mattress inch by inch like an eel, really wanting to ask her if she could keep talking like that in the future.

But afraid that she would hang up on him, he decided not to provoke her, and put into practice his understanding of the Art of War.

Pei Muchan was indeed fooled, not realizing at all that she had been lured into talking more.

"Work stuff is fine, no rush," she continued with that languid, slightly nasal tone, as if offering comfort, "When can you come back?"
