Chapter 64: Date Gone Wrong
After a while, Chu Luoshen finally returned fully dressed.
She wore a fitted black dress that perfectly matched her elegant temperament, her long hair falling neatly over her shoulders while her glasses rested properly back on her face.
Stopping in front of Shen Tian, she nervously smoothed the side of her dress.
"How do I look?" she asked shyly before doing a small spin.
Shen Tian openly looked her up and down without even trying to hide it.
Strangely enough...
Instead of disliking it, Chu Luoshen actually found herself enjoying the attention coming from him.
After a moment, Shen Tian smiled.
"You’re beautiful. I have to admit, that dress suits you perfectly."
Chu Luoshen’s ears instantly became red.
Then Shen Tian stood up from the couch and held out his arm.
"Shall we?"
Chu Luoshen smiled softly.
"Of course."
The two linked arms and headed outside together.
Hidden deep inside the nearby bushes...
Chu Fang watched the entire scene with hollow eyes.
Shen Tian gentlemanly opened the passenger-side door for Chu Luoshen before walking around and entering the driver’s seat himself.
Then the car slowly drove away.
The moment it disappeared down the street...
Chu Fang exploded.
"Shit, shit, shit!"
He immediately burst out of the bushes and sprinted toward where he had abandoned his bicycle earlier.
He arrived just in time to see a garbage worker picking it up.
"WAIT! DON’T THROW THAT AWAY!"
The garbage worker blinked in surprise before handing it back.
"Oh, sorry, big guy."
The bike was now covered in garbage juice and smelled absolutely horrific.
Chu Fang’s face twitched violently.
Still, he quickly grabbed it anyway.
"System!" he shouted while hopping onto the bike. "HELP ME!"
[Yes, Host.]
[Downloading Chu Luoshen’s location into your mind now.]
A second later, Chu Fang suddenly knew exactly where the car was headed.
His eyes lit up.
"Perfect!"
He immediately began pedaling as fast as humanly possible.
The tiny bicycle practically screamed in pain beneath him.
Eventually, he finally spotted Shen Tian’s car stopped at a red light.
Quickly, Chu Fang lowered himself and kept a careful distance behind them.
Still...
Watching Shen Tian and Chu Luoshen laughing and talking happily together inside the car made Chu Fang’s blood pressure rise dangerously.
"Curse that bastard... He’s stealing my sisters one by one..."
His hands tightened around the handlebars.
Soon, the car began moving again.
Chu Fang continued following them from afar until eventually they arrived outside a luxurious restaurant.
Hiding around the corner nearby, Chu Fang secretly watched Shen Tian get out first before helping Chu Luoshen out of the car.
The two looked absurdly compatible together.
Chu Fang nearly coughed blood from emotional damage.
Then they entered the restaurant.
"...Damn it. I can’t just walk through the front entrance."
He frowned deeply while trying to think of another way inside.
Then suddenly...
A side door nearby opened.
One of the restaurant workers walked out carrying trash bags.
Chu Fang’s eyes instantly brightened.
"Perfect..."
The moment the worker became distracted, Chu Fang quietly slipped through the side entrance unnoticed.
Keeping himself low, he carefully snuck through the restaurant.
From behind a nearby counter...
Chu Fang spotted them.
Shen Tian and Chu Luoshen sat together at a candlelit table, smiling softly while talking and sharing breadsticks.
The atmosphere between them felt ridiculously romantic.
Chu Luoshen looked happier than Chu Fang had ever seen her before.
Watching this scene more intently...
Chu Fang felt like his soul was slowly leaving his body.
Before Chu Fang could sneak any closer to overhear the conversation, Shen Tian casually glanced in his direction.
He had already known Chu Fang was following them the entire time.
From the moment Chu Fang climbed through the window at Chu Luoshen’s house...
To the tiny bicycle chase...
To sneaking into the restaurant through the employee entrance.
Shen Tian noticed everything.
And honestly?
He planned to use tonight to hurt the relationship between Chu Fang and Chu Luoshen even more.
Chu Luoshen was still completely lost in the romantic atmosphere between them.
Seeing the timing was perfect, Shen Tian slightly raised an eyebrow before quietly whispering,
"...Isn’t that your little brother over there?"
"Huh?"
Chu Luoshen immediately snapped out of her daze and followed Shen Tian’s gaze.
Then she froze.
Because crouching terribly behind the counter...
Was Chu Fang.
Trying his absolute hardest to "hide."
The restaurant staff could literally see him.
Several customers were already staring strangely at the suspicious man crouched beside the counter.
For a few seconds...
Chu Luoshen said absolutely nothing.
Then slowly...
A dangerous smile appeared on her face.
She calmly stood up from her chair.
Seeing this, Chu Fang instantly ducked lower.
[Did she see me?!]
[I hope not]
"Chu Fang."
Hearing his name spoken like that instantly made his blood run cold.
Slowly, he looked up.
Chu Luoshen was standing directly above him now.
Her smile looked terrifying.
"Mind explaining," she asked coldly, "why you’re here?"
At this moment, she was genuinely furious.
Her romantic dinner date with Shen Tian had just been completely ruined.
Chu Fang awkwardly stood up and brushed dust off himself.
"I-I..."
His brain desperately searched for excuses.
Then finally...
"Big sister! What a coincidence!"
The restaurant instantly became silent.
Even nearby staff looked at him with pity.
Chu Luoshen’s cold glare only intensified.
She clearly knew he was lying.
At that exact moment...
[Ding!]
[Host has successfully damaged the relationship between the protagonist and his sister.]
[Chu Fang has lost 2000 Fate Value.]
[Remaining Fate Value: 13000]
Hearing the notification, Shen Tian knew it was time for the finishing blow.
He slowly stood up and walked over calmly.
"Chu Luoshen," he said gently, "I really enjoyed the time we spent together tonight. Even if it was short."
Then he glanced toward Chu Fang.
"But with your little brother here... It’s difficult for me to continue the date."
He gave a helpless smile.
"So let’s try again another time."
Then Shen Tian turned and left the restaurant.
Watching his back disappear through the exit...
Chu Luoshen completely froze.
The moment he vanished from sight...
Something inside her snapped.
Chu Fang instantly celebrated internally.
[Good riddance! This is my victory!]
He puffed out his chest proudly.
"I seriously helped you dodge a bullet there, big sister—"
SLAP!
The sound echoed throughout the entire restaurant.
Everyone went completely silent.
Chu Fang stood there in shock while holding his burning cheek.
Tears were already streaming down Chu Luoshen’s face.
Her body trembled with frustration and heartbreak.
Without saying another word...
She immediately turned and ran out of the restaurant barefoot, even abandoning her high heels behind.
’I have to apologize to Shen Tian...’
That was the only thought left in her mind.
