After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 25

Xiao Yueqing chuckled softly, lightly tapped her forehead, and teased, “Oh, throwing a tantrum now, are we?”

Yun Dan still ignored Xiao Yueqing.

After getting along for this month, she had figured out part of Xiao Yueqing’s personality and knew what actions wouldn’t anger him, so she had relaxed a bit.

If it were how she was when she first arrived, she naturally wouldn’t dare breathe heavily in front of Xiao Yueqing.

Xiao Yueqing suddenly took out a silver ingot and handed it to her, “Go downstairs and buy a pot of different tea. Any tea is fine, just find a way to get Dongfang Wuchen to notice you.”

Now Yun Dan understood—Xiao Yueqing wanted her to approach Dongfang Wuchen.

No, it should be said he wanted her to make her presence known in front of him.

However, Yun Dan didn’t really want to go.

Are you kidding? There were experts everywhere downstairs. How dare she go now, and she had to make Dongfang Wuchen notice her—that would be no different from going to her death directly.

[Ding——System Mandatory Task: Deliberately fall and let Dongfang Wuchen catch you]

Seeing the interface that suddenly popped up, Yun Dan spat out her tea directly.

“What’s wrong with you? You almost spat tea all over me while drinking.”

Yun Dan quickly shook her head and replied, “Nothing, it’s just my first time drinking this tea. I’m not used to it, it’s slightly bitter.”

“Is that so? This tea is indeed somewhat bitter. You’ll get used to it. Go downstairs and buy a pot of tea you like.”

Yun Dan could only quickly take the silver and leave the private room.

She didn’t know that the moment she left, Xiao Yueqing removed the mask from his face, revealing an exquisitely flawless face underneath.

There was even a teardrop mole under the corner of his right eye.

He looked at the mask in his hand and said somewhat self-mockingly, “I wear a mask not because this face attracts too many admirers, but because I don’t want to see another person through this face. With the mask on, no one knows what I look like, and I won’t think of that person either.”

He thought of Yun Dan again.

“I’ve lived twenty-eight years and never thought I’d take on a disciple in this lifetime. I originally thought if I were to take a disciple, it should at least be someone like Yue Po, but I never expected to take on such a troublemaker.”

However, after Yun Dan left the private room, she was still thinking about the system matter.

“Hey, If You Don’t Court Death, You Won’t Die system, didn’t you claim that since the game plot wasn’t complete, everything needed to be explored by myself? Then why are you suddenly issuing mandatory tasks? What happens if I don’t do the task?”

[Dear player, this system will randomly issue tasks to help players better complete their missions. Don’t you want to go home?]

“Of course I want to go home, but isn’t my task to win over Xiao Yueqing? Since you say it’s to better help me, why are you giving me a task to throw myself into Dongfang Wuchen’s arms? Are you sure you’re not deliberately messing with me?”

Yun Dan had played many otome games and had never heard of such twisted logic.

[Dongfang Wuchen is another male lead, so how can this not count as helping the player complete the task? After all, the player still needs to help Xiao Yueqing with tasks]

“Fine, you’re just full of twisted logic, aren’t you? I haven’t seen you say anything for a month, and now as soon as I leave the manor, you’re messing with me? What divine assistance—you’re just a pit-falling If You Don’t Court Death, You Won’t Die system.”

Who knew the If You Don’t Court Death, You Won’t Die system would blurt out:

[Dear player, I am indeed the If You Don’t Court Death, You Won’t Die system. How may I assist the player?]

“Forget it, I’m too lazy to argue with you. What happens if I don’t do the issued task? Or rather, what happens if I do the task?”

[Dear player, all randomly issued system tasks are mandatory. If refused, immediate elimination. Each completed task will reward a random item]

Yun Dan thought to herself that at least the tasks weren’t done for nothing.

Since there were random items to obtain, doing a task wasn’t impossible.

It was just throwing herself into Dongfang Wuchen’s arms—it wasn’t that difficult.

Yun Dan took a deep breath, pretended to act nonchalantly as she went downstairs, and slowly walked to the shopkeeper.

At this time, the person standing beside her was Dongfang Wuchen.

Yun Dan didn’t dare turn her head to look at him yet, as she couldn’t let him discover her intentions.

Otherwise, everything that followed might be seen through by Dongfang Wuchen as premeditated.

“Miss, what else would you like?”

Yun Dan looked up at the tea names written on the board, but she really couldn’t choose.

“I’d like another pot of different tea, but I really can’t decide right now.”

Only then did Dongfang Wuchen notice there was an unfamiliar young lady beside him.

He had originally wanted to settle his bill and leave.

But after hearing Yun Dan’s words, he stopped.

“If the young lady wants something light, Fangshan Luya would be a good choice.”

Yun Dan obviously hadn’t expected Dongfang Wuchen to speak up on his own.

Since he had spoken, she had to say something in return, otherwise she’d seem too much like a white lotus.

“I see. These tea names all sound quite nice. Does the young master have expertise in tea?”

He chuckled softly, “I wouldn’t call it expertise, just a preference for certain teas. If the young lady wants to try some, Fangshan Luya would be a good choice.”

Yun Dan nodded as if she understood and expressed her gratitude to Dongfang Wuchen.

“I see. Then following the young master’s recommendation, I must try it. I hope the young master won’t laugh at me—I rarely drink tea, so I don’t know much about it either. That’s why I was overwhelmed by the choices. Fortunately, the young master recommended some. Are you leaving now, young master?”

“Yes, I originally came out to meet a friend, but he had something come up and couldn’t make it. Drinking tea alone isn’t much fun, so I was preparing to go back.”

Great, so you’re alone—heaven is truly helping me.

“How about I treat you to tea? Drinking tea alone really isn’t much fun.”

Dongfang Wuchen had originally wanted to refuse.

But seeing Yun Dan’s sincere eyes, he couldn’t bring himself to say the words of refusal, so he nodded.

“Alright.”

Yun Dan happily paid the bill—after all, it wasn’t her money she was spending, so she didn’t mind.

The remaining money was naturally used to buy pastries, since drinking tea without eating anything would really be torturing herself.

Since she was going to drink tea with Dongfang Wuchen, the private room was naturally off-limits. The two chose a window seat on the second floor.

Yun Dan propped her chin with her hand and sized up Dongfang Wuchen in front of her. He truly was a young master from an aristocratic family—his looks definitely showed his parents couldn’t be too ugly.

Moreover, Dongfang Wuchen was very refined and elegant, clearly well-raised.

He was so much better than a certain great demon lord.

Damn it, why didn’t she fall in front of Dongfang Wuchen back then? Why was her luck so bad that she ended up in front of the great demon lord?
