Chapter 116 : Lin Muyao Makes Up Her Mind
116: Lin Muyao Makes Up Her Mind
Beep beep beep~ Honk honk~
Thursday morning 8:40 AM. Because contemporary workers like to arrive just on time, feeling it would be a loss otherwise, this created a phenomenon—rush hour.
Su City, as a second-tier city, had asphalt roads built quite wide, with six full lanes in the urban area.
But in the ocean of tens of thousands of vehicles, some car had gotten into a fender bender, causing traffic jams this morning.
Lin Muyao, the little BMW driver, looked at the young men and women wearing helmets and riding shared bikes, lightly passing by through the non-motorized vehicle lane beside her.
Looking at the navigation showing she still needed 35 minutes to reach Sushan Film City.
Today, it seemed impossible to avoid being late no matter what.
Thinking of this, Lin Muyao couldn't help but feel guilty, looking toward the passenger seat at the young man whose fair cheeks had a faint pink tint and whose crimson lips were slightly swollen.
Recalling how shy Su Mo had tried hard to accommodate her in 1603 to hide his 'embarrassment,' causing her to lose herself and later take the initiative, leading to their current lateness.
Thinking that the current situation was all her fault, Lin Muyao said somewhat embarrassedly:
"Um... sorry, husband. Today was my fault~ I forgot about time and made you late too!"
While apologizing, Lin Muyao herself was also somewhat puzzled.
Obviously she saw Su Mo every day these past few days, so why... did she feel she liked him more and more, becoming more and more unable to extricate herself?

In the little BMW, along with Lin Muyao's apology.
At the same time, Su Mo also heard an emotionless electronic synthesized voice in her ear.
[Ding, Challenge System warm reminder: Current female Lin Muyao's base favorability has risen to 138, only 12 points away from the yandere threshold of 150. Please host reduce charm.]
[Warm reminder: The most practical method is to shorten distance from Lin Muyao. Both Fragrance and Heartthrob will decrease somewhat. Note: Current distance gives Heartthrob Aura +20 favorability bonus to Lin Muyao.]
Hearing the Challenge System's notification and Lin Muyao's apology, Su Mo felt somewhat overwhelmed at this moment.
Emmmmmmmmmmm Her Wife Muyao liking her was a good thing, but wasn't this favorability too high?
Even without fragrance and Heartthrob Aura, it was already over 100.
And... setting aside favorability, wasn't there something wrong with this Heartthrob Aura?
Obviously they were so close, yet it still added 20 points. There was still 10 points of potential increase? This felt dangerous!

Director Zhang had been in a very good mood recently, for many reasons.
First, after Fan Hefeng left, the wealthy woman provided a large sum of funding.
Second, after the young fresh meat actor playing Ning Mo was replaced by Su Mo, whether filming progress, filming effects, or the degree of causing trouble, all made Director Zhang very satisfied.
In fact, regarding Su Mo, this newcomer to "July's Lie Love Song," not only did Director Zhang like her, but other crew members also quite liked her.
After all, since Su Mo played Ning Mo, even overtime became more punctual.
Moreover, Su Mo's build was somewhat delicate, his personality gentle, and he spoke softly. Aside from 30% of male actors in the crew who didn't like Su Mo due to jealousy over Lin Muyao's boyfriend, 95% of the girls in the crew quite liked the physically delicate Su Mo.
This liking wasn't the romantic kind like Lin Muyao's, but more like the affection for a 'cute little brother.'
After activating the 'Heartthrob Aura,' with the favorability bonus, today Su Mo became even more popular.
Obviously today, when she and Lin Muyao arrived at the "July's Lie Love Song" crew 15 minutes late, Su Mo had expected to be thoroughly scolded.
But in reality, she only received one or two light warnings—don't do this next time.
And today at the filming location, after each segment finished shooting, Su Mo kept receiving food from the crew's big sisters.
"Little brother Su Mo, I have an apple here."
"Little brother Su Mo, you're too thin. I have chips here, want some?"
"Junior Su Mo, I have drinks here."

Feeling the enthusiastic, kind treatment from those around her, different from before.
At this moment, Su Mo finally understood firsthand why the 'Heartthrob Aura' would affect daily life.
Because after improving favorability, everyone's attitude toward her had indeed changed her life in some sense.
But this change, for Su Mo's somewhat introverted personality.
Wasn't necessarily a good thing. After all, being watched felt somewhat constraining. Fortunately, activating the 'Price Ring' to imitate the rich second generation Ning Mo made Su Mo feel somewhat better.
However, under the Heartthrob Aura, although being overly watched didn't feel good, something good did happen.
Originally, the crew coordinator had said she'd give Su Mo a break in a few days, but under the 'Heartthrob Aura,' this was moved up to tomorrow.
Combined with the original Dragon Boat Festival in June, it effectively gave Su Mo a three-day mini vacation!
Hearing this good news, Su Mo's eyes couldn't help but brighten.
Her happiness wasn't just from getting a mini vacation and the natural joy of rest.
More importantly, after activating the 'Heartthrob Aura' last night, Su Mo discovered that more people were paying attention to her.
Not only had exposure risk increased significantly, but most critically was girlfriend Lin Muyao at 138 points. Thinking of the just-reminded favorability.
Su Mo felt that if she didn't complete the SSS-level mission soon, there was a high probability of problems!
Now only 8/9/10 three rings remained to complete the SSS-level mission. Su Mo felt she should use this vacation to cut through the mess quickly and complete them all to become a boy again.
And just as Su Mo, having made plans, happily received the leave slip from the crew coordinator and got a juicy big apple.
At this time, Lin Muyao, who was filming, couldn't help but narrow her lively almond eyes dangerously.
As a girl, she was very sensitive about people she liked.
Recently, Lin Muyao frequently felt her sixth sense sending waves of warning crisis signals.
First recalling Su Mo's scheming 'mature landlord Chu Tianlan.'
Then looking at Su Mo in the crew today, always surrounded by girls, currently holding a pile of food, looking very popular.
Although having a popular boyfriend was good and could indirectly prove her judgment was correct.
But while feeling proud, jealousy also began to spread in Lin Muyao's heart.
Recalling this morning's Su Mo, that delicious little appearance, and how the boy, because he couldn't release his desire, had left that mark on the little blanket.
At this moment, Lin Muyao couldn't help but clench her pink little fists.
Although saying certain things from a shy girl's mouth seemed strange.
But thinking of Su Mo's timid yet polite personality.
Looking at Su Mo now walking toward her, his deep peach blossom eyes full of clear purity, skin so fair it didn't look like a boy's, smooth and tender as if water could be squeezed out, surrounded by that unique charming fragrance—elegant, pure, like spring raindrops rolling on flower petals.
Looking at Su Mo unconsciously radiating various invisible charms.
At this moment, Lin Muyao silently made a decision. Rather than constantly worrying about bad women stealing Su Mo away.
Better to wait until the day after tomorrow, when Dragon Boat Festival vacation began. During the day, she'd date Su Mo, and at night when the atmosphere was right... she'd cook the raw rice into cooked rice!
These two nights when she got home, she'd study thoroughly with the knowledgeable An Xiaoqian about what knowledge to use when being intimate with boys.
