After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 68

After finishing the piece “Phoenix Seeking Phoenix,” the mission completion notification finally rang in her mind.

[Ding——Congratulations to the player for completing the temporary mission, earning 1000 points. Current balance is 1300 points]

After completing the mission, Yun Dan finally breathed a sigh of relief and planned to return to her seat.

However, as soon as she stood up, she met Yan Ke’s unfathomably deep gaze.

Yun Dan couldn’t help but tremble slightly, thinking that this kind of look seemed like he wanted to devour someone.

Similarly restless was Dongfang Wuchen beside her.

After returning to his seat, Dongfang Wuchen carefully recalled the entire incident. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something seemed off about this matter.

Dongfang Wuchen glanced at Yun Dan, who was quietly eating beside him, and suddenly found her quite attractive.

The way she ate was just like a little mouse.

It was indeed his sister who had suggested accompanying her earlier.

But Yun Dan still invited him, and didn’t invite Yan Ke.

As far as he knew, Yan Ke could also play the flute, and Young Master Luoyue’s favorite instrument was also the flute.

Did Yun Dan not know this?

Or was it that in Yun Dan’s heart, he was different from Yan Ke?

Although Dongfang Wuchen initially had no improper thoughts about Yun Dan.

Bringing her back to the manor was only because she had been injured for his sake.

After spending this period of time together, Dongfang Wuchen suddenly discovered that his favorable impression of Yun Dan was growing higher and higher.

Could it be that she also had feelings for him?

When Yun Dan had eaten enough, she raised her head and looked around.

However, as soon as she turned her head, she directly met Dongfang Wuchen’s gaze.

What Yun Dan hated most in her life was making eye contact with others, so she directly turned her head to the other side, avoiding eye contact with Dongfang Wuchen.

Little did she know that these actions, falling in Dongfang Wuchen’s eyes, took on a completely different meaning.

Dongfang Wuchen held his wine cup, his mind flashing through his interactions with Yun Dan.

Thinking of her encouragement and care for him, he felt she was really quite a nice girl.

Just then, some pastries were served. Yun Dan looked at the pastries placed before her with great interest, rubbed her hands together, picked up a piece, and put it directly into her mouth.

However, she heard the notification sound ring again.

[Ding——Dongfang Wuchen’s favorability increased by 10%, current favorability is 30%]

Yun Dan: ???

No, big brother, what’s wrong with you?

Calm down!!!

Because she was too excited, this bite of pastry directly choked Yun Dan, and she couldn’t make a sound for quite a while.

A cup of water suddenly appeared in front of her. Without hesitation, she took the tea cup and drained it in one gulp, finally feeling like she had come back to life.

However, after drinking, she only then noticed that it was actually Yan Ke who had handed her the water cup.

Yan Ke wasn’t looking at her at the moment, but was looking ahead on his own.

Since the other party had just extended a helping hand to her, Yun Dan thought she should at least thank him.

“Young Master, thank you. I was just eating too hastily and choked. If you hadn’t handed me a cup of water, I might have choked to death.”

Upon hearing this, Yan Ke turned his head and glanced at her, saying, “Which young lady eats like you do, so carelessly? You don’t look like a proper lady at all.”

Yun Dan couldn’t help but want to roll her eyes.

However, seeing that Yan Ke and Dongfang Wuchen’s eating movements were very elegant, and even the most annoying Tang Huairou’s eating movements were also very proper, Yun Dan realized.

Compared to them, she seemed like someone who hadn’t eaten in ages, and indeed couldn’t compare to them.

She was too lazy to continue dealing with Yan Ke and continued eating on her own.

If it weren’t for the sudden temporary mission and Tang Huairou’s troublemaking earlier, she would have already eaten her fill.

Now that she finally had the chance to sit down and eat, she had to eat until she was full.

However, these actions of Yun Dan’s, falling in Yan Ke’s eyes, became her elaborately rejecting him.

Yan Ke just couldn’t understand.

Whether he was acting as Xiao Yueqing or as Yan Ke, why couldn’t Yun Dan ever focus her attention on him?

What exactly was better about this Dongfang Wuchen? Why did she always have to revolve around him?

Another notification sound rang.

[Ding——Target character Xiao Yueqing’s current favorability decreased to 10%]

Damn!

Will this ever end!

No, how did it drop so drastically?

Yun Dan was truly at her wit’s end.

She felt for the first time that this death-seeking system truly lived up to its name.

It claimed to be helping her, yet every one of its missions was simply putting her through love triangle hell!

Dongfang Wuchen’s favorability was rapidly climbing.

And Xiao Yueqing’s favorability was already slow to increase, but now it had dropped back to only 10%, meaning all her previous efforts had been in vain.

This was truly deadly!

Yun Dan felt that no matter what, she couldn’t continue eating this meal. She should find a place to calm down.

Since Xiao Yueqing’s favorability had dropped, it meant he was probably hiding in the shadows and had already seen her playing “Phoenix Seeking Phoenix” with Dongfang Wuchen.

She was really going to be killed by this system.

Yun Dan slammed the table and stood up directly, startling the two men beside her.

“What’s wrong?”

“Miss Yun…”

But she couldn’t tell them the real reason, so she could only make an excuse. “Nothing, going to the latrine. I ate too much and feel bloated.”

With these words, the two men naturally wouldn’t follow her, and Yun Dan finally had a chance to rest properly.

She didn’t actually go to the restroom as she had claimed, but found a place to sit down.

“Tell me, what kind of situations am I encountering? How can I be so unlucky? Death-seeking system, you just love creating love triangles for me, don’t you?”

[Player, this system’s services are entirely for advancing the plot and helping the player complete conquest missions]

“I’ll believe you when hell freezes over!”

Thinking of how much favorability Xiao Yueqing had lost and Dongfang Wuchen’s skyrocketing favorability, Yun Dan felt inexplicably frustrated.

“If only Xiao Yueqing’s favorability could increase as directly as Dongfang Wuchen’s, wouldn’t going home be a matter of minutes?

But what exactly does this man see every time he’s hiding in the shadows? Can’t he ask me directly? I really don’t like Dongfang Wuchen!”

However, Yun Dan didn’t know that ever since she left the banquet, Tang Huairou had also followed her.

The fact that she hadn’t been able to embarrass Yun Dan at the banquet earlier had been weighing heavily on Tang Huairou’s mind.

Now seeing that Yun Dan had gone out alone, she naturally followed, thinking of giving her a good punishment.
