[Love and Producer] Passive strategy

"Ah, that's right." After muttering to herself, Li Youxue quickly began typing in the search bar - [subway station].

Before the search interface was swiped out, the phone's violent vibration and ringing interrupted her thoughts, and the contact's note immediately popped up on the screen: [Xu Heitu].

"Hello, Xu Mo." Li Youxue quickly swiped to connect, and tapped the hands-free button by the way.

"This is the first time you called my name, if I remember correctly." Xu Mo smiled softly, the laughter was deep and magnetic.

"Oh, then you remember wrong." Li Youxue scolded him without changing expression.

"Really?" Xu Mo's voice was soft and gentle. "What have you been up to recently? It feels like I haven't heard from you for a long time."

"Busy with work, you know." Li Youxue prevaricated casually.

Xu Mo smiled softly: "I read the city news in the last issue...you did a great job, it really belongs to you - a different color."

"If you think it's great, then it looks really great." Li Youxue immediately answered with a little complacency. "However, this is what I should have achieved, so I don't thank you for your compliment."

Xu Mo seemed to laugh happily: "Although you are indeed commendable in terms of work, isn't it a bit too much for you to agree to my invitation but make me wait in vain?"

"... Your invitation?" Li Youxue was taken aback for a moment, and finally remembered that it happened that day when she accompanied Bai Qi in the investigation - at that time, she seemed to have agreed.

"I'm sorry, it was indeed my negligence..." Li Youxue apologized generously and sincerely. "When are you free, I can fulfill the promise."

"Of course it depends on when it's more convenient for you." Xu Mo said in a rather meaningful and gentle tone. "If it's your invitation, I'm always free no matter what time it is."

"Is that so?" Li Youxue couldn't help laughing, and replied inscrutablely: "That's good, but I'm not free right now, so I'll contact you later?"

This time, Xu Mo seemed to have figured out her routine, and complained helplessly: "You told me the same way last time, and then you made me wait for a week for nothing."

Li Youxue raised the corners of her mouth when she heard this, and was about to say something when Xu Mo sighed leisurely.

He said: "Sorry, I was just wondering, if I didn't contact you, wouldn't you not contact me?"

Li Youxue's heart skipped a beat, and she unconsciously pursed her lips.After a brief moment of deliberation, she raised her face slightly, and looked at the blue sky with large clouds floating around: "How about an appointment today on Wednesday...Friday?"

"Okay." Xu Mo responded patiently, as if he didn't care about her forcefully ignoring his previous words. "Is there anything you want to do? I'll accompany you."

"I don't have any ideas." Li Youxue replied frankly. "Compared with pre-planning, I am more enthusiastic about the journey of two people as they please."

"...I understand." Xu Mo only paused for a second before replying with a smile. "Then, see you on Friday—I'll pick you up." After that, he hung up the phone.

Li Youxue held the phone in a daze for a while, then asked the system strangely: "He said to pick me up...but where is he going to pick me up?"

【…】The system indicated that it didn't quite understand the scientist's thinking, but there were still conclusions. [Xu Mo's favorability +24! 】

"Forget it," Li Youxue shook her head to divert her attention. "What I want to know more now is, where exactly is the subway station... the map clearly says this direction?"

[…] The topic changed so quickly that the system couldn't help but feel sad for Xu Mo.

……

Fortunately, with the help of Mr. System, who can understand maps, Li Youxue finally managed to find the food street near Luying Square.

"It looks like it should be here." Li Youxue smiled happily after looking at the familiar steps on the side of the street for a while. "However, where did Zhou Qiluo go?"

【Perhaps he left on the way you rushed over? 】The system guesses.

"Oh, then help me locate where he is." Li Youxue ordered calmly.

【...Unfortunately, I can only confirm the hero's current mood and his emotional changes towards you. 】The system is also a little regretful.

"You don't need to confirm that kind of thing at all." Li Youxue put her hands on her hips impatiently. "I also know that Zhou Chihuai, who has marshmallows and snacks to eat, will definitely be very happy."

【... What you said seems to make sense. ] The system also had to admit this.

"If you follow the foodie's way of thinking..." Li Youxue looked around earnestly, and fixed her eyes on the candied haws stall not far away, as well as the candy figurines, skewers, potato tarts and other small stalls extending all the way there. Stall. "It's over there, sure."

【... I always feel that your speculative analysis is a bit too much for Zhou Qiluo. 】The system is still nagging.

Li Youxue ignored it at all, and walked towards the direction where the stalls were densest.

——Just as she walked to an alley, someone grabbed her wrist suddenly.

Li Youxue tilted her head and saw a brown bear at a glance... To be exact, it was a person wearing a brown bear puppet costume.Seeing that he had gained her attention, the man even waved happily at her.

Subconsciously stopping in her tracks, Li Youxue raised her head and looked at the round blue eyes made of glass beads on the brown bear's hood.

For some reason, she had a strange intuition, Li Youxue blinked, and approached him and asked, "Didn't PD follow you?"

The bear puppet didn't answer, but took a few steps back, hiding most of its body in the shadows.

Li Youxue walked a few steps knowingly, and saw the bear puppet stretching out its right hand to her, spreading out its palm, and inside was a candy lying quietly.

Li Youxue looked at it, hesitated for a moment, and held it in her hand.

After she took it, the bear puppet seemed to be in a good mood.After taking another step back, the furry palms slightly raised the headgear partly.

Thus exposing the inner man's big blue round eyes.Those eyes were still too bright in the dim alley, and even looked wet, like some cute little animal.

Zhou Qiluo stuck out his tongue, wrinkled his nose and said in a low voice, "You recognized me...but," he looked at her who was close at hand, and tilted his head to reveal crooked smiles. "That's not bad, I'm glad you recognized me."

As if responding to what he said, the system cooperatively prompted: [Zhou Qiluo's favorability +33!Zhou Qiluo's affection for you has risen to LEVEL-5! 】

Li Youxue raised her eyebrows, and while reaching out for her backpack, she asked him strangely, "Did you throw PD away on purpose?"

Zhou Qiluo smiled and raised her thumbs up at her: "As expected of Youyou——I think, if you blindly follow the program flow, the task may not be able to be completed...I also have my own way!"

Li Youxue glanced at him up and down, then shook her head incomprehensibly: "... Pretending to be a little brown bear?"

"Just wait and see, Agent Zhou Qiluo, he will definitely complete the task!" Zhou Qiluo said confidently, and blinked suggestively at her. "Didn't you say you want to secretly take pictures of Zhou Qiluo? Here's your chance!"

Li Youxue quickly took the DV in her hand, pressed the power button, adjusted the focus, and made an OK gesture to him with her left hand.

[Zhou Qiluo's favorability +21! 】The system reminds me every time.

Zhou Qiluo smiled brightly at her, and happily said "Let's go!" He pulled off the hood to cover his face again, and walked briskly out of the alley.

"Look, take a look, Xiong Wudi's magical candy, you can become as smart as me if you eat it!" The bear puppet was walking and shaking his head, talking a little dullly, and was still waving to passers-by. . "Who wants to exchange this candy with me? There is only one candy in the whole world!"

Countless pairs of eyes were focused on the bear puppet, and when the adults saw Li Youxue holding a DV behind him, they would smile knowingly.The children, on the other hand, followed the bear puppet with curious and longing eyes.

Finally, the first little girl approached and held up a small packet of biscuits: "Xiong Xiong, I want to change—"

"Okay!" Decisively exchanging candy and biscuits with the little girl, Zhou Qiluo immediately adjusted the slogan: "Look, take a look, Xiong Wudi's magical biscuits, eat them and you will become as cute as me! "

"I want it!" A little boy ran over excitedly. "That's Duo Duo's biscuit! I'll trade it for you with a ball!"

"Yeah!" Zhou Qiluo cheered, raised the ball and continued to shout: "Look, take a look..."

Li Youxue followed behind him, and finally couldn't help laughing: "He didn't even change the words of the advertisement. He said it stupidly and naively, but someone will always buy it."

【Perhaps this is Zhou Qiluo's own attraction. 】The system is ambiguous.

Li Youxue didn't really believe this statement, but just stared at the DV, focusing more on capturing Zhou Qiluo's figure.

……

After many twists and turns and exchanges, Zhou Qiluo finally held a hard-won marshmallow and walked with Li Youxue on the way back.

"I hope grandma will be satisfied with the results this time." Zhou Qiluo looked at the pink cloud-like cotton candy expectantly, and said seriously.

"She will be satisfied." Li Youxue looked at him, and the crystal clear beads of sweat on his forehead seemed to flash before her eyes.

"Really?" Zhou Qiluo grinned, his snow-white teeth were extremely eye-catching.

"Thank you for your kind words," he said.

——But in the high temperature of summer, the last thing that appeared in front of the old lady was a half-melted marshmallow, which looked pitiful and funny.

"I'm sorry..." Zhou Qiluo lowered his head and apologized to the old woman sitting in the yard. "I didn't notice that the marshmallows had melted... I'd better go buy it again—"

The old lady greeted him with a particularly gentle and gratifying smile, and told him seriously: "Thanks for your hard work, Qi Luo, this is the cotton candy I want."

At that moment, Zhou Qiluo's eyes widened unexpectedly - the clear blue color, sea blue, should have represented melancholy, reminiscent of endless splendor and hope.
