The Guide to Conquering Earthlings

Chapter 25

According to the plan, Wan Yan anxiously waited at home.

Wei Yijun called her earlier than she had imagined.

Almost as soon as she picked up the phone, Wan Yan eagerly asked about the results of the day's plan: "Did it work out? Did you follow her? Doesn't she have any true feelings for Xie Cheng at all?"

"It didn't work out! I don't know if she has true feelings for Xie Cheng either, but you have to pay me more money!"

Wei Yijun's voice on the other end of the line sounded very excited and angry. Wan Yan was a little surprised, but as Wei Yijun continued to vent nonstop, Wan Yan's expression became more and more uncontrollable.

"Is there something wrong with her? She beat up the extras so badly! I'm uploading the photos and videos to you now. It's all clearly recorded in the in-car surveillance. I just came back from the hospital and I can also send you the medical report. Take a look at what she did to them! That's not normal human strength!"

"And she's a pervert! It was so hot that day. She asked me to set up a tent and then take it down, set it up and take it down again. I almost got heat stroke. I took off a jacket and this psycho didn't allow me to take it off. She threatened me with force that I had to keep wearing it. If I didn't leave, I could have died too!"

Wei Yijun had an endless stream of grievances: "In short, this woman, no matter if she has true feelings for Xie Cheng or not, you don't need to worry about it! Because no normal man will like her! At most, some might play with her because she's pretty. But anyone sane wouldn't want to date a woman like this! Two words: mentally ill!"

...

After hanging up the phone, Wan Yan was still a little incredulous. Lan Xi seemed quite clever at work, and was even able to collect a difficult overdue account. Wan Yan didn't expect her to be so eccentric socially?

No, that's not possible. With her ability to cling to Xie Cheng, she can't be an idiot who doesn't understand social skills.

So was this a case of hiding clumsiness to prevail? Playing the pig to eat the tiger?

In Wan Yan’s daily analysis and observation, she felt that Lan Xi would not be difficult to deal with. However, this time even Wei Yijun's loyalty test failed. This was beyond Wan Yan's imagination.

It seems Lan Xi is quite skilled, keenly seeing through Wei Yijun's approach, and used this crazy tactic of playing stupid to make Wei Yijun and the extras fail completely.

She is clearly not easy to deal with.

You can't go head to head with such a master.

Wan Yan thought carefully and decided to first clear her relationship with Wei Yijun, which would reduce Lan Xi's guard against her and suspicion. Then she would pretend to be Lan Xi’s friend to get close to her. At the same time, she would look for opportunities to covertly tell on Lan Xi to Xie Cheng several times. This Lan Xi is more cunning than Wan Yan thought. She must warn Xie Cheng not to fall into her trap!

**

Lan Xi felt more and more at home on Earth. The dangerous moment last night was finally relieved under Xie Cheng’s protection, and the crisis passed.

After work, Wan Yan was also the first to come over and apologize for Wei Yijun’s actions: “You can never really know a person! I didn’t know he was that kind of person!”

Probably to show her remorse, in addition to scolding Wei Yijun and making it clear that she was drawing a line between them, Wan Yan voluntarily took on all the complicated data analysis work after getting to work. She actively snatched tasks from Lan Xi to complete them. She also attentively brought Lan Xi snacks, milk tea, and all kinds of service, allowing Lan Xi to experience the low-end version of princess treatment in the workplace on Earth once again.

Xie Jing was equally satisfied.

Seeing the recent report on Xie Cheng that Lan Xi submitted, his eyebrows couldn't help but curl up smugly.

His nephew, who had always placed work at the center of his life, had recently frequently gone out with Lan Xi, and it wasn’t for work - driving to pick her up, or taking her out to eat at buffet restaurants.

These things may be normal for others, but very abnormal for Xie Cheng. For a workaholic like Xie Cheng, this could almost be considered crazy with desire.

"An outstanding talent is different after all."

Xie Jing put down his phone with satisfaction, and lamented his wisdom to his wife again, "You see, this Lan Xi is beautiful and smart. She knows how to handle things. With just her looks, she has Xie Cheng so obsessed that his work is starting to slip while he indulges in romance, wining and dining this woman. Outstanding! Truly outstanding! The key is that Lan Xi is willing to put in effort! She knows how to use a honey trap!"

He patted his thigh in frustration: "Why didn't I think to find a beautiful female assistant to infiltrate before? Of course, same-sex repulsion makes it difficult. That explains why those male assistants were driven away early on!"

"I should give her a good bonus!”

...

What Xie Jing didn't know was that at the same time, Lan Xi, who he believed to be extremely smart, was racking her brains to answer test questions. She was constantly watched by Xie Cheng's terrifying gaze as she reluctantly studied.

It was time again for the weekly interpersonal relationship training. Lan Xi bit her pen and felt powerless and weak in the face of Earth culture.

Xie Cheng stared at the test paper she had just completed. His frown was almost detached from his entire face. "So after I talked for half an hour with a dry mouth, this is what you produce? I see you have good absorption when eating, so why is it indigestion when it comes to this?"

"I've been studying for an hour already. Can I take a break to eat something? I'm a little hungry..."

"No." Xie Cheng ruthlessly rejected Lan Xi's request. "You have to finish studying in one go before taking a break. I talked about five points just now. Did you understand? Any other questions? If you think I'm wrong somewhere you can also point it out. If you can point out a problem I’ll let you eat."

"Yes!" Lan Xi raised her hand.

Xie Cheng's expression eased slightly. Being able to ask questions meant she was at least thinking and digesting seriously, so she wasn't a complete lost cause.

But before he could express his limited praise to Lan Xi, he heard her shout in a commanding tone -

"You didn't talk about five points just now, it was six points!"

"..."

"So can I eat now?"

Xie Cheng was truly fed up. He had never seen anyone as unteachable as Lan Xi. He took yogurt out of the refrigerator and decided ignorance was bliss. "Go ahead and eat on the road. The driver is waiting for you at the estate entrance."

Ever since deciding to keep a certain distance from Lan Xi, Xie Cheng no longer took her home himself, preferring to let the driver work overtime. He still decided to have the driver take her back.

After Lan Xi left, Xie Cheng collapsed onto the sofa as if deflated.

His body wasn't tired but his mind was.

He suddenly understood why his cooperative partners, usually ruthless in business, would rage like thunder when tutoring their own children, even having heart attacks and needing emergency surgery... Xie Cheng felt teaching Lan Xi was just as painful. With a frown and pursed lips, he continued screening resumes for behavioral intervention therapists for autism, determined to cherish his life and stay away from Lan Xi.

But his hopes were quickly shattered.

Five minutes later, Xie Cheng received a call from Lan Xi.

Lan Xi's voice sounded like she was crying but she still pretended to remain calm. She urged in a commanding tone -

"Xie Cheng, hurry up and come over. There's something very scary here that needs to be dealt with!"

"..."

"Hurry, super urgent! Very scary stuff! Only you can handle it!"

"..."

**

Lan Xi encountered the cats when she reached a shaded corner of the estate while walking back to Xie Cheng’s place.

The first one appeared.

Then a second, followed by a third, fourth fifth.

These five cats suddenly sprang out from the bushes and arrogantly strode out in front of Lan Xi.

Lan Xi’s heart leapt.

This was an organized raid on a large scale.

The five cats looked random but had actually surrounded Lan Xi very deliberately - her four directions were completely blocked by the cats.

They even arrogantly meowed at Lan Xi to provoke her.

Lan Xi analyzed the fighting power of the other party, of which four looked like adult cats, with developed muscles and shiny fur, only one black and white one looked slightly thinner, with one leg lame.

The cats on Muyi Star had long been extinct, so there were no textbooks or works explaining how people on Muyi Star should fight when they encountered such natural enemies, in case a fierce battle broke out here...

Lan Xi targeted the lame legged one, so she would break through from this one!

This was a battle on the verge of breaking out. Lan Xi felt that the air was full of the smell of gunpowder.

Lan Xi stared at them, and they also looked at Lan Xi.

Lan Xi didn't even dare to move. She could only take out her cell phone with trembling hands and ask Xie Cheng for help.

Fortunately, after a stalemate for two minutes, probably because of Lan Xi's princess temperament and imperial majesty, they did not dare to act rashly to attack Lan Xi. After taking a deep look at her, they ran into the woods one after another.

...

When Xie Cheng hurried to the place where Lan Xi was, he regretted it.

There was neither anyone nor anything else around her, only the shadows of the trees on the road in the light of the street lamps and the night reflected a blurred shadow on the road surface. The street lamp at this corner of Xie Cheng's community could be said to be bright enough, and the moonlight was also good tonight. It was not dark enough to be scary. Here, it was not too far from where the driver parked, either.

Over the years, Xie Cheng had encountered girls who played little tricks and pretended to be weak.

It was just that other girls' tricks would make everything around them look very reasonable, such as at least finding a dark corner where the streetlight was broken, but Lan Xi...

This person was so stupid that even after he had privately tutored her on relevant social knowledge points several times, this guy still played her tricks so straightforwardly... At least find an intersection that really makes people a little afraid...

Xie Cheng looked at the still slightly trembling Lan Xi in the night wind, and felt that being able to come up with such a clumsy excuse and trick was already difficult for her.

However, being fooled by such a clumsy plan, he didn't seem to be very smart either.

Xie Cheng frowned, really wanting to question Lan Xi, how could there be anything scary in such a well-secured community, and where were the scary things?

But before he could say anything, Lan Xi saw him.

Her face showed an expression of relief after a disaster and being saved. Her eyes were full of trust and dependence, shiny, no less than the stars in the night, then she ran to Xie Cheng quickly, her voice still trembling a little pitifully—

"Xie Cheng, fortunately you came!"

"? ? ?"

She leaned against Xie Cheng, as if just this made her feel much safer, and pretended to be calm and relieved, "Just now..." Lan Xi gestured, "There were some very scary things here."

Xie Cheng rubbed his eyebrows, really wanted to ask Lan Xi, where did the scary things come from in such a well-secured community?

But before he spoke, he saw Lan Xi carefully shook Xie Cheng's sleeve: "Can you take me to the parking lot entrance of the community where the driver stopped?" She moved closer to Xie Cheng and lowered her voice mysteriously, "I'll tell you a secret, this kind of opportunity is rare, not always available, very rare."

"..."

With her emotional intelligence, trying her best to find such a stupid excuse and pretend to be so modest, she just hoped that he could send her to the door. Anyway, the driver would take her home.

Xie Cheng looked at the corner where they were, not far from the community gate, and he had already come down from upstairs, so he would just send her back. He had already made up his mind to keep his distance from Lan Xi in the future. When he found a suitable behavioral interventionist, he wouldn't have much more contact with Lan Xi. Occasionally once, it would also count as doing a good deed that day.

Charity is accumulated from the trivial details of daily life after all.

Xie Cheng sent Lan Xi to the door and made sure she got in the car before leaving.

But when he passed the corner again, he suddenly met several stray cats, probably four or five, of which several were obviously fed by someone, thriving, except for a small skinny cow cat that couldn’t keep up with the other cats. When it walked to Xie Cheng, this skinny little cow cat actually stopped and meowed at Xie Cheng, rubbing against his pants leg.

Xie Cheng instinctively backed away two steps, but the cat was not afraid at all, and actually meowed cutely and rubbed against Xie Cheng again, looking at Xie Cheng with pure and slightly expectant cute eyes.

So Xie Cheng made the mistake everyone would make...

By the time he reacted, he had already taken the cow cat to the pet hospital to treat the wound, dewormed it, and then took it home.

He had picked up big ones like Lan Xi, and it wouldn't hurt to add a small one.

Moreover, in the relevant works on autism intervention, some studies have shown that about one third of autistic patients, although they have severe social disabilities with people, can form intimate connections with animals. Pets, service dogs and animal assisted therapy can alleviate autism to varying degrees. Handle social and life stresses, and even help them improve their social communication skills.

Xie Cheng decided that after the kitten's injury was healed, he would give it to Lan Xi.

He also didn't know how happy she would be.

However, he still had to make it clear to her that this gift did not represent anything, and he must prevent Lan Xi from having improper thoughts.
