"Thank God…thank you…." Lai Jiayi weakly muttered as she changed her clothes. The girl already stopped crying, but her eyes were still red.
'Don't repeat the mistake this morning, don't be controlled by my emotions!'
Lai Jiayi tightened her fist as she made an oath in her heart, not to let her emotion lead her action.
'This is what lesson I get today. Don't be controlled by emotion.'
"I...will make sure I'm doing it well next time I meet Zhao Yang." Lai Jiayi looked at Yaya with a serious gaze.
Well, her eyes were still red as the thought of losing both her father and Yaya made her cried like a baby, but she always looked determined enough to convince everyone.
"Mn, I believe in you, quack. You can do this, quack!" Yaya laughed as he wiped Lai Jiayi's remaining tears with his wing.
'Everyone needs to grow, and Lai Jiayi will surely grow from this incident.'
"Thanks…" Lai Jiayi thanked the AI, and once she looked at her reflection on the mirror next to her, she suddenly realized she had been crying.
Her face was so...dirty with the trace of tears here and there.
'Ugh, had I been crying like...crying for real? Gaaah!!'
"Eh, your cheek is red, quack, are you sick, quack?" Yaya, who noticed this seriously, asked out of worry.
'It must have been tiring for her not to mention the dropping of the barometer…'
That was really nerve-wracking!
"No, I'm healthy." Lai Jiayi quickly covered her cheek with her palms after she changed clothes.
Lai Jiayi felt embarrassed to the bone for crying, but Yaya ignored it.
"Quackey, then, let's go home to discuss what to do next, okay quack? I don't think you can go to class looking like this, quack…"
Yaya immediately spoke, knowing Lai Jiayi wants to skip class for today. He then snuggled deeper into the girl's jacket.
Lai Jiayi nodded weakly as she closed the resting room's door before whispering in a low, soft voice, "I'm sorry...this is all because I'm weak…"
She once again apologized.
"Because of me, we have to think of a plan to reverse the situation…." Lai Jiayi lowered her eyes.
"We are now back to square one. If we don't do something, my barometer might get stuck at 0, not raising at all...."
'This...I have to solve this problem as soon as I can!'
"It's okay, quack, I know you aren't used to touching a man but next time...quack...hold back your instinct until the plan is over, understand, quack?"
Yaya flashed an innocent smile, trying to encourage Lai Jiayi.
Feeling better, Lai Jiayi answered, "Mn, understand. I won't act like that next time. I'll try my best, " She silently swore to control her emotion so it won't be shown through her action.
The incident today became a very harsh lesson for her to control her feelings so that she won't mess up their plan.
"If I can't even do this right, I won't be able to win the game. Won't even manage to save anyone." Lai Jiayi clenched her fists.
"That's right, quack…"
"So...next time, let's be professional!" Lai Jiayi spoke to herself.
Seeing how Lai Jiayi looked serious, Yaya nodded in satisfaction.
"It's okay, failing once wasn't bad, quack. As long as we keep on trying, I'm sure we will win in the end, quack!"
'Jiayi, fighting!'
Internet cafe, 8 a.m
Yaya threw his body to the bed and shamelessly stole Lai Jiayi's blanket to cover his own small body with it. He then asked the girl who already changed into more comfortable clothes,
"So…" The AI paused a bit before resuming, "What are you going to do now, quack? Any plan, quack?" he asked again in a rather lazy tone.
"I'm still thinking of one…" Lai Jiayi sighed.
"Ugh, it's hard, right, quack? No wonder this Zhao Yang is given the SSS rank difficulty level, quack." Yaya protested.
'He's indeed so unpredictable!'
"Well, this morning's incident was my fault, so...we can't blame Zhao Yang…." Lai Jiayi sat down on her bed and sighed again.
She then said in a low spirit, "I think first, I have to apologize. Else he will forever look at me in a negative light…"
"Apologize? Good idea, quack!"
"Even if I have to go on my knees and apologize, it's okay for me," Lai Jiayi said with determination.
"That's a good plan, quack, but...how will you apologize, quack? I don't think he will even let you get close to him, quack!" Yaya suddenly spoke.
"That's right! I don't know how to be alone with this guy…" Lai Jiayi slapped her forehead.
"It also had to be in a situation where he couldn't refuse to meet you, quack," Yaya added.
'So...how? Is there a way for a lowly cleaning service girl like me to force Zhao Yang to listen to my apology?'
"Ah, one more thing, quack."
"There's more??"
"You have to do this within your job schedule else– you will be eliminated, quack, " Yaya suddenly reminded the girl.
"Ukh...I know…" Lai Jiayi kept thinking and thinking until suddenly, she was enlightened.
