Chapter 46 The Little Fairy Ran Into Trouble?
After An Liang finished his conversation with the seafood stall owner, Liu Xinyi asked, “You can speak Thai?”
“Is that strange?” An Liang countered.
“A little!”
Liu Xinyi nodded affirmatively.
Thai was not widely used, and given Thailand’s relative underdevelopment and the difficulty of learning the language, very few people actually speak it.
Liu Xinyi estimated An Liang to be no more than twenty years old, so she naturally found it surprising.
“Maybe I just have a knack for languages,” An Liang replied with a smile.
A moment later, two plates of steamed mantis shrimp were served, complete with scissors for shelling and disposable rubber gloves.
An Liang very gentlemanly helped Liu Xinyi with the shrimp, including shelling them. This thoughtful gesture earned her goodwill, raising her friendliness level from 59 to 60—finally reaching the level of ordinary friends.
An Liang then handled his own portion of the shrimp. He took a big bite of the plump tail meat—the delicate, tender texture combined with the rich shrimp paste was incredibly satisfying.
“Delicious, as expected!” An Liang praised.
The salt-and-pepper mantis shrimp and spicy mantis shrimp were also excellent. An Liang even had two portions of the spicy ones, since Liu Xinyi couldn’t handle spicy food. Being a girl from the capital, it was understandable.
[Ding!
Congratulations, Host, on enjoying a pleasant meal. You’ve received a random cashback reward worth 1–100 times your dining expense.
Drawing cashback multiplier…
Congratulations, Host! You’ve received 92 times cashback!].
An Liang checked the bill—six mantis shrimp only cost 948 yuan. Even with a 92x cashback, it was just 87,216 yuan. That amount no longer fazed An Liang.
After all, during the Rongfu Banquet, he once got a single meal cashback of over five million. So what excitement could less than ninety thousand possibly bring him now? Of course, rewards like this—more the merrier!
After An Liang paid the bill, he looked at Liu Xinyi and asked, “Miss, how long are you planning to stay in Thailand?”
Liu Xinyi answered honestly, “I’ve been here for three days already. If all goes well, I’ll be returning the day after tomorrow. What about you?”
“I don’t have a set plan,” An Liang replied. “Why don’t we add each other on WeChat? If you’ve got time later, we can hang out again.”
Liu Xinyi didn’t refuse.
“You can scan me.”
She pulled up her WeChat QR code.
An Liang added her on WeChat and teased, “Hey now, Miss, is this a reverse trick? Did you purposely use an ugly avatar?”
Her profile picture was surprisingly bad—definitely a downgrade from her real appearance.
“Clearly a pretty lady—why use such a basic-looking photo?” An Liang joked.
Liu Xinyi was a true beauty, with a face score of 92, but her avatar barely reached 60—just a generic, plain girl.
She rolled her eyes at An Liang, transferred him 400 yuan via WeChat, and said, “I’m heading off now. Bye-bye, little boy.”
An Liang froze. Little boy?
Gross!
What kind of nickname was that?
He huffed, “I’m not some little boy!”
“Sure, sure, of course you’re not,” Liu Xinyi said with a knowing smile. “After all, how many little boys wear a Patek Philippe worth over a million?”
She gracefully exposed the subtle luxury on his wrist, then said no more and walked away. Watching her figure disappear, An Liang opened WeChat. Naturally, he didn’t accept the 400 yuan she sent—he immediately refunded it and messaged her.
[Miss Miss Miss, want to hang out tomorrow?].
Liu Xinyi replied instantly.
[Nope, little boy. I have things to do tomorrow. Maybe next time.].
Seeing her rejection, An Liang smiled. She had noticed his expensive watch and still turned him down?
A girl with that kind of composure was definitely intriguing!

The next evening, An Liang strolled through the streets of Guman. With his expert-level Thai, he listened to local gossip and effortlessly blended in with the city.
Watching the bustling crowd, An Liang felt a tinge of emotion—if it weren’t for the Life Winner System, he probably would’ve been just another face in the crowd. As he pondered, a familiar figure appeared beside him.
Liu Xinyi’s voice called out, “Little boy, what a coincidence!”
An Liang turned, surprised to see her again. Another coincidence? Really?
“Miss, what’s going on now?” An Liang asked.
[Ding!
Random Task: Help Liu Xinyi Get Out of Trouble.
Task Reward: The [Info Scan System] and the [Friendliness Scan System] will be upgraded to [Character Info Scan System].
Failure Penalty: None.].
Just like always, the Life Winner System’s missions were full of win-win energy—only rewards, no consequences.
So this Miss is in trouble?
An Liang speculated internally.
