Chapter 385 A Life of Being Conquered
A car accident made Yu Liu and Tang Shuai think that this blind date would just end there, but Yu Liu didn't expect that she would still meet her blind date.
Upon receiving the news that her father had been hospitalized due to a car accident, Liu Quji abandoned her blind date and rushed to the hospital.
I only learned the truth when I got to the hospital. It turned out that my father had secretly gone to pick up his blind date, and on the way, he missed a traffic light because he was looking at his phone, and was hit by a taxi carrying an injured person who was rushing to the hospital.
Both parties were at fault in the accident, but the other party's actions of rushing to the hospital because there were injured people in their car were understandable. Therefore, the traffic police sided with the other party, and the responsibility was greater on the father's side.
But what Liu Quji found most unacceptable was that everyone in both cars that collided was injured to varying degrees, except for Yu Liu—his blind date—who was the only one completely unharmed.
In this comparison, few people would not feel resentment towards Yu Liu.
Why are you the only one unharmed? Why is my father injured? You were sitting in the back seat, the one most vulnerable, yet you're perfectly fine, while my father, who should have been alright, is seriously injured. Anyone would feel resentful in that situation.
He felt a little resentful, and his gaze towards Yu Liu carried a hint of dissatisfaction. He had been quite satisfied with her, but suddenly became critical.
"That...that one inside is your father?"
Yu Liu recognized him the moment she saw him. Her adoptive mother had shown her a photo, and although there were some differences between the real person and the photo, she could still recognize him.
"What do you mean by that? What do you mean by 'inside'? Can't you speak with a little more respect?!" Liu Quji's first words were very sarcastic.
"What did you just say? Dare to say it again?" Upon hearing his words, Tang Shuai, who had been standing silently behind Yu Liu, immediately stepped forward, giving him a slightly roguish glance with disdain in his eyes.
He's like a thug; if someone says something wrong, he'll immediately pounce on them and beat them up.
Liu Quji immediately fell silent.
Yu Liu scratched her head awkwardly. She really didn't know how to describe the driver who was being rescued. After learning that he was the father of her blind date, she felt quite embarrassed.
It just doesn't feel right to go on a blind date and have the other person's father pick you up and drop you off.
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
The elderly person is still undergoing emergency treatment; it would be inappropriate for anyone to leave at this time.
The rescue process didn't last long. In fact, Liu Quji's father's injuries weren't serious; he just lost a lot of blood, so it looked somewhat severe. He had a cut on his head that required about seven or eight stitches, and he also had a leg injury with a fracture, but it wasn't too serious yet.
After confirming that the elderly man was alright, the three parted on bad terms.
Yu Liu eventually returned home in Tang Shuai's car.
"Thank you so much for today."
Yu Liu said this before getting off the bus.
Tang Shuai subconsciously listened, but did not hear the system announce an increase in favorability.
...What's going on? In the past, doing these things would increase the favorability rating.
To be honest, the increase in favorability has become very slow recently, and it's currently stuck at 79 without any change.
"Besides expressing your gratitude, what else can you do?" Tang Shuai rested his hands on the steering wheel and leaned back in his seat. "I've heard that question so many times. Don't you have any concrete actions to offer?"
Yu Liu tilted her head and chuckled, "A special gesture... of course there is."
Yu Liu leaned down and suddenly kissed Tang Shuai on the cheek: "Here, I've given you the concrete gesture you wanted. I'm off now~"
Tang Shuai was completely stunned by her sudden attack. By the time he reacted, Yu Liu had already disappeared. He chuckled to himself and subconsciously touched his cheek.
The system always makes sarcastic remarks when he's in a good mood.
He ignored it and restarted the car.
"Don't worry, I'll get back the goodwill I owe you!"
Tang Shuai chose the easiest character to romance, so why is it so hard to raise his affection level?
The system was completely baffled.
The system's reaction aroused Tang Shuai's suspicion, but he didn't say anything. The car sped away from the residential area and got caught in the traffic on the road.
……
Hi~ Good morning~
The next day, Yu Liu opened the door again, and there she was again greeted by a large bouquet of bright red roses.
"Hmm...but it's already noon!"
Yu Liu skillfully took the roses, carried them back into the house, and placed them in a vase.
Tang Shuai had been to Yu Liu's small apartment many times before, and he followed her in without any hesitation.
"Have you eaten? I brought you takeout." He shook the bag he was carrying in his other hand, knowing that Yu Liu definitely hadn't eaten. Without stopping, he opened the bag, tidied it up, and placed it in front of Yu Liu.
Yu Liu enjoyed his care with peace of mind.
How did today's work go?
During the meal, Tang Shuai quietly watched from the side, chatting casually with Yu Liu.
Yu Liu actually has a job; she is a cartoonist who serializes a comic online.
When Yu Liu first learned of this identity, she refused. She couldn't draw comics at all, so what use was it to her?
Moreover, the day I arrived was exactly the day before the comic was updated, and the other person's comic was only half finished and they were frantically working on the manuscript.
Yu Liu, who took over the other party's mess: "...Let me go back!!!"
If you can't even handle the other person's job, how can you possibly fulfill their wishes?
Fortunately, what the other party threw at Yu Liu wasn't entirely a mess. At least when Yu Liu gave up on herself and was about to scribble something randomly, she picked up her pen and, as if she had suddenly learned to draw, produced beautiful and smooth lines that weren't as ugly as she had imagined.
Yu Liu practiced for more than two hours, and her drawing was already close to the original person. She stayed up all night to finish the drawing, and the next day she barely managed to keep the update with dark circles under her eyes.
But for comics, especially long-form comics, the most crucial thing is that when Yu Liu faced this difficulty—a long-form comic that had only just begun to be drawn, a long-form comic with only a rough outline and no plot yet set—she was on the verge of collapse.
These days, Yu Liu is extremely worried. Tang Shuai also noticed this situation and assumed that she was just stuck and would be fine once she had an inspiration. So he would ask her the question every day as a routine.
