59 "Admiration & Recognition Route"
Lai Jiayi felt her mood went up a lot due to this discovery.
'The barometer goes up! From the way Yaya speaks, it must rise for at least 2-3%, right??'
Poor girl didn't know that the AI talked as if the barometer went up a lot when in fact, it only went up for 1%, returning to the initial position.
Still, since Lai Jiayi didn't know about it, she assumed that the raise was quite significant.
[Hell, yeah! This fella must be a loner for sure! Poor guy!]
Lai Jiayi taunted Zhao Yang as she talked to Yaya, but then her mind immediately formed a plan to 'soothe' the lonely guy in front of her.
'Maybe he lacked genuine care, and my sincere action is cute for him?' Lai Jiayi tilted her head.
'If that's the case, from now on, I should shower him with attention!' Lai Jiayi grinned from ear to ear.
'I'm such a genius!'
Knowing Lai Jiayi's thoughts, Yaya wanted to slap the girl.
'Yep, no. That's not the case, ah Jia!!' Yaya bit his wings.
'The barometer rises just because of the candy brand!'
While Yaya was cursing Lai Jiayi, Zhao Yang suddenly looked at Lai Jiayi with tender eyes.
'She gave me this candy. She's not that annoying anymore.' The man was instantly biased.
[Yaya, look, look, isn't he looking at me with such tender eyes?? Oh gosh– ]
[Yes, yes, quack! Good job, ah, you're the best, quackkk! I know you can do this. Jia is the best, quack!]
Yaya encouraged Lai Jiayi, sending the girl to fly above the cloud.
Knowing her effort and plan had finally paid off, the girl gained confidence.
[Now I know what this man needs, I only had to give him a lot of genuine, sincere attention!] Lai Jiayi said in a confident tone.
'I shouldn't be like those bitches trying to get his attention for shady purposes…' the girl secretly thought.
Yaya could only roll his eyes and sighed.
'YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE BITCHES WITH ULTERIOR MOTIVE, AH!!'
The duck was close on getting a mop and hit Lai Jiayi's head with it.
Lai Jiayi was busy celebrating when Zhao Yang looked at her with slightly warm eyes and whispered in a voice only he could hear,
"...thank you."
Lai Jiayi was shocked to death. She almost fell on the spot.
'The iceberg is capable of thanking someone!'
'Of course, he is, ah.' Yaya silently lamented. 'He is so touched because of the candy. He will surely thank Jia.'
Zhao Yang went silent again as he stared at the candy in his hand.
'It's been a long time since I last saw this candy…'
The guy stroked the candy gently.
'I don't want to buy it...it reminds me so much of Biyu, but..'
Zhao Yang snuck a peek at Lai Jiayi.
'But now, a girl with eyes similar to Jia Biyu suddenly gives this candy to me.'
Zhao Yang felt flowers bloom in his heart.
People might say that he's overreacting to feel this happy from just candy, but for him, the candy means a lot.
His girl would cheer him up in his hard times back then, by giving him this candy.
Now the same candy ended up in his hand again, given by a girl with amber, honey-like eyes. It felt like God pitied him, thus sending this girl to boost his mood somehow.
"Thank you…" Zhao Yang thanked Lai Jiayi with a mumble again. Thus the girl didn't hear anything.
Well, it's not as if Lai Jiayi cared about it.
Whether the guy felt touched or whatever, as long as the barometer went up….it's all good!
Lai Jiayi was celebrating in her mind when a sudden notification startled her for a while.
DING!
[Player Jia accomplished candy mission. +10 points, current points: 1020]
This notification sounded in Lai Jiayi's mind a bit late after Zhao Yang accepted the candy.
Hearing the news, the girl felt so happy that she almost drooled like an idiot.
[I finished all the missions I reserved! Ah, Yaya, it's all thanks to you! You're the one who prepares the candy, right?]
Lai Jiayi wanted to kiss Yaya, but he's hiding in her cleaning service jersey, so the girl refrained from doing so.
Upon receiving the praise, Yaya spoke proudly in a haughty tone, [Hehehe this young master can be helpful, quack!]
Yaya convinced himself that he's helpful looking at the result. The AI was full of himself, just like his master.
He felt like his decision to use the candy is an excellent idea, but little did he know he had just dug a hole for his contractor.
This won't be known until the far future, but for now, the two celebrated silently.
[Hey, what will you do now, quack? We still get 20 minutes left, quack! Do something to raise the barometer again, quack~]
Yaya asked Lai Jiayi and urged her to do something.
'While we have the chance, we should raise the barometer as much as we can!'
Hearing Yaya's obvious question, Lai Jiayi smirked.
With a somewhat mysterious tone of voice, the girl said to the AI, [Heh, just see. I already prepared a plan to raise the barometer without making him uncomfortable!]
Lai Jiayi's eyes glinted with a crafty light, looking like a baby tiger scheming something to hunt its prey.
[Really, quack?? Awesome!]
[Yep, and I based this plan on my deduction.]
[What deduction, quack?]
[ Zhao Yang is someone who appreciates others' hard work. You can see my barometer raises just because I cleaned the corridor earnestly.]
[Oh, oh!! That's right, quack! So, so?] Yaya listened attentively.
[So this time...I will do a similar plan to raise the barometer. I'm taking the 'admiration & recognition' route!]
[Eh, eh tell me the details, quack! Tell me. I'm curious- quack!] Yaya was too excited that he poked Lai Jiayi's stomach out of an accident.
But Lai Jiayi only smiled mysteriously as she picked up her cleaning tools.
[What are you going to do with those, quack?] Yaya, who heard the noises asked in curiosity.
[What am I going to do? Heh, just see in a few seconds!]
