When Song Yao returned, Zhaozhao was already impatiently lying in bed. She curled up under the covers and told Taotie to help her move a small table over. She put the uneaten fruits from the study on it and happily shared them.
Occasionally, one could hear Zhaozhao teaching Taotie dining etiquette. She said that if Taotie were a child, it couldn't just grab the food with its hands and stuff it into its mouth. It had to pay attention to its image.
Taotie, however, was very dissatisfied and complained that she was being too fussy. But it still obediently picked up a fork and tried to act as refined as possible.
Song Yao watched from the door. What was the problem? This child clearly seemed to have good mental health. Why did Teacher Liu say such a thing? She was completely at a loss.
But Teacher Liu couldn't have said such a thing without reason. Song Yao thought it would be better to ask Zhaozhao indirectly.
"Zhaozhao," she knocked on the door and called Zhaozhao, who was bickering with Taotie.
"What's up?" Zhaozhao looked up at Song Yao with a tuft of hair sticking up on her head. Her eyes were as innocent as could be, showing no sign of the rebellious emotions of a teenage girl.
"Nothing. I just wanted to ask how you've been feeling lately?" Song Yao walked over and sat down on the edge of Zhaozhao's bed. She casually ruffled the tuft of hair on Zhaozhao's head.
Feeling...
Zhaozhao didn't expect Song Yao to ask her this. She thought her cousin would come and ask her why she was trying to seduce someone.
Lately, she had definitely not been in a good mood, but she couldn't tell her cousin. After all, Su Yuan ignoring her was a very sad thing for her, but it would probably be a very happy thing for her cousin.
She couldn't say it. If she did, her cousin might keep an eye on her and take the opportunity to make her stay away from Su Yuan.
Zhaozhao thought that wouldn't do! So she pretended to be relaxed, looked up, and gave Song Yao a big smile. "I'm in a great mood! I even completed my task today!"
Song Yao didn't suspect a thing when she saw such a bright smile. She pinched Zhaozhao's soft cheek for fun and then left.
"Then go to sleep quickly. Eat less at night. You don't want to have indigestion."
"Okay." Zhaozhao nodded obediently. She let out a sigh of relief only after the bedroom door closed in front of her.
Taotie didn't care about anything. It only heard Song Yao tell Zhaozhao to eat less. It quickly poured the whole plate of fruits into its own stomach. Then it patted its belly contentedly and let out a burp.
Receiving a mournful look from its master, Taotie wasn't the least bit flustered. It calmly said, "Your sister told you to eat less. You should be obedient. I'll just help you out. Otherwise, these fruits won't be fresh by tomorrow morning."
"..." Zhaozhao was too lazy to argue with it. She took out her phone from under her pillow and started browsing the internet.
Although Teacher Liu repeatedly emphasized that Zhaozhao's idea of "seducing" Su Yuan was wrong. Doing so would make her a laughingstock and was also a sign of self - disrespect. She told Zhaozhao to give up this idea.
But while Zhaozhao agreed on the surface, she didn't agree with the teacher in her heart.
If seducing could make Su Yuan forgive her and stop being angry, then it didn't really matter if people laughed at her. Moreover, she didn't think it was self - disrespectful. On the contrary, she thought she was really loving herself.
According to Zhaozhao's thinking, she was unhappy when Su Yuan ignored her, and she would be happy if they made up. So seducing Su Yuan = seeking reconciliation = making herself happy.
She was finding ways to make herself happy. How could this not be self - love?
Master of reasoning Zhaozhao thought she had analyzed the matter clearly. Now all she needed was to find the right way to put it into practice.
And her phone was probably the only way she could get this method now.
After all, another way she had previously thought of had been firmly cut off by Teacher Liu.
When the little tree spirit, who was eager to learn and study, typed the word "seduce" into the search bar, all kinds of miscellaneous information popped up on the web page.
"Wow!" Such a large amount really gave the inexperienced little tree spirit a little shock. "There are so many. I'll just look at them one by one!"
She fought back the rising drowsiness and stared wide - eyed as she browsed.
Taotie wanted to sleep after it was full. Seeing that its master wasn't paying attention to it anymore, its chubby little hand tugged at Zhaozhao's quilt to get her attention.
Zhaozhao was so engrossed in what she was looking at that she absent - mindedly turned to it and asked, "What's up?"
Taotie yawned and asked her sleepily, "Did you forget about the food live - streaming thing? When are we going?"
Zhaozhao certainly hadn't forgotten such an important thing as the food live - streaming. She was just waiting for something. But when Taotie mentioned it, she remembered another thing. "How did it go when you and Lu Chukong went to catch the Taibei?"
"Pfft!" Taotie showed great disdain. "Of course, this young master solved that thing with just a flick of my finger."
"What about the money? I remember he said he'd pay after we caught it. Where's the money?"
Taotie felt a moment of guilt, but it quickly composed itself. It conjured up a small box and opened it in front of Zhaozhao. Inside was a thick stack of red banknotes.
"Right here."
Zhaozhao took a couple of glances. She didn't really have a concept of money. All she knew was the amount in her phone. For the money in front of her, she couldn't tell how much it was.
But at least this big red stack looked auspicious.
She nodded and generously gave half of it to Taotie, then took the other half for herself.
"These are also for you to buy food with, and of course, for me too. I'll keep some first. You can tell me if you run out."
Zhaozhao was so generous that Taotie felt even more guilty about secretly spending two red banknotes on extra snacks for itself.
After silently repenting twice in its heart, it dragged its half away.
When it reached the door, it suddenly turned around and solemnly announced to Zhaozhao, "I've decided. For a master as loyal as you, I'm even willing to beat up Su Yuan for you in the future!"
Zhaozhao: " ... No need."
Taotie was very serious. "Yes, it is needed."
Facing her spiritual pet's sudden declaration, Zhaozhao was quite at a loss. But regardless of her confusion, she had more important things to do.
She focused her mind again and immersed herself once more in the matter of how to seduce someone. To be precise, there was no "someone else". The target was very consistently and constantly Su Yuan.
After looking through who knew how much information, Zhaozhao clicked on a video, and just one sentence in this video managed to hold Zhaozhao's attention.
This was probably a scene cut from a movie or TV show. At the beginning of the video, a curly - haired woman asked a girl with braids, "Do you know how to seduce a man?"
Hearing this, Zhaozhao immediately got excited. This was exactly the question whose answer she was looking for!
The girl with braids in the video shook her head. The curly - haired woman picked up a glass of red wine, took a sip, and casually gave the first method. "All men are the same. If you have a beautiful face and a sexy figure, you've already won the first step."
Zhaozhao frowned, only half - understanding this. She waited for what came next.
The girl with braids in the video bit her lip and asked, "Then what? Seduce him into bed?"
The curly - haired woman flipped her hair and said, "Going to bed is the most basic method. On the basis of showing off your beautiful face and perfect figure, you have to make him dependent on you."
Make him dependent on herself? How?
This was beyond Zhaozhao's knowledge. She could only write it down and continue searching one by one.
Two minutes later, Zhaozhao suddenly had an epiphany!
She threw her phone aside shyly and buried her face in the quilt.
