A Date

That night, Shen Wuxiao slept fairly well.

The sofa was wide and spacious, almost like a bed.

Jiang Huaiyue, meanwhile, was having a rather difficult time in the room.

When she woke up, even she was stunned.

She had actually... gotten wet.

Jiang Huaiyue's mind was a tangled mess.

Even she felt that this was absurd beyond absurd.

Jiang Huaiyue covered her face, occasionally rubbing her lovely hair as she struggled to accept it herself.

Perhaps because the bedding still carried Shen Wuxiao's scent, she had actually dreamed of something she should not have last night.

In the dream, she and Shen Wuxiao had shared the same bed.

They had kissed wildly, and in the end, done something indescribable.

Even if it had only been a dream, having such a dream for no good reason was an outrageously absurd thing to her.

And just now, she had discovered that she...!

For a moment, she did not know what to do.

She had only known Shen Wuxiao for two or three days. How had things reached such a point?

She vigorously shook her head, hurriedly got up, and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

Only then did she leave the room.

But when she opened the door, she saw Shen Wuxiao sleeping soundly on the sofa.

Her face reddened again without her realizing it, and scenes from the dream surfaced in her mind.

Jiang Huaiyue took a deep breath and still walked into the kitchen.

Breakfast was quick and simple.

By the time she brought it to the table, Shen Wuxiao was still asleep.

Jiang Huaiyue helplessly shook his head and walked over.

Her gaze involuntarily fell upon Shen Wuxiao's handsome face.

He was so charming even while asleep.

But she quickly cast aside those messy thoughts and raised a hand to pat Shen Wuxiao.

"The sun's about to roast your backside, and you're still sleeping? Go freshen up and eat breakfast!"

The moment those words left her mouth, Jiang Huaiyue froze!

Why did this feel as though she had become his wife?

Her husband rested on the sofa while she cooked, then called her husband to get up, wash up, and eat after the food was ready.

She sounded just like a housekeeper!

It was not just Jiang Huaiyue—even Shen Wuxiao was taken aback.

For that brief instant, he had the illusion that he and Jiang Huaiyue had already been together for a long time.

Still, he Sat Up and smiled at Jiang Huaiyue. "Alright!"

Then he headed toward the washroom.

After breakfast, Shen Wuxiao planned to take Jiang Huaiyue out and pretend to gather information.

They called it gathering information, but they were really using that excuse to go on a date.

While that bastard Lin Fan was still holed up in that cluster of unfinished buildings, Shen Wuxiao needed to quickly close the distance between himself and Jiang Huaiyue.

Once Lin Fan clashed with the Sea Brake Society, there was a good chance he would secretly come back once.

Then, the moment he opened the door... For every pain clung to for love, for every wound clung to for hate!

If he had not wanted things to develop steadily, Shen Wuxiao would have preferred to force the issue.

But if he forced it, he might get the person while never gaining her heart.

Jiang Huaiyue was immensely talented and breathtakingly beautiful. How could he possibly hand her over to Lin Fan?

Shen Wuxiao knew a thing or two about Destiny Protagonists. They had no obsession with virginity.

If Lin Fan learned that Jiang Huaiyue had been forcibly taken by him, he would only focus all his hatred on Shen Wuxiao.

He would still want her all the same.

So how could Shen Wuxiao possibly let Lin Fan have it easy? He wanted both the person and her heart.

A wonderful day passed.

Today, under the excuse of gathering information, Shen Wuxiao had taken Jiang Huaiyue on a date.

The two visited quite a few places.

At first, Jiang Huaiyue had still asked where would be reliable for gathering information.

But later on, Shen Wuxiao led her completely astray.

They went to an arcade, an aquarium, a combat sports gym, and a martial arts association club.

They also had a romantic lunch and a candlelit dinner together.

Of course, she had been tricked into having the candlelit dinner too.

She had never imagined that a restaurant called Xin Xiang Yin was a couples' restaurant. Wasn't that the name of toilet paper?

Once they arrived, people inexplicably started cheering them on, praising them as a perfect match and saying how loving they were!

They also had incredibly good luck and drew the seat number for the restaurant's "Lucky Couple."

The restaurant was even generous enough to give them a pair of couple rings.

The entire restaurant applauded and cheered, demanding that they put the rings on each other right there.

Helplessly, unwilling to make things awkward, they put the rings on for one another.

They had intended to take them off after leaving the restaurant.

But Jiang Huaiyue seemed to have forgotten, wearing hers the whole time.

By the time they returned to the villa, it was already nine o'clock.

They had played all day and bought quite a few things.

Looking at the pile of stuff on the coffee table, Jiang Huaiyue could neither laugh nor cry.

They had agreed to go out and gather information.

Forget it!

Shen Wuxiao sprawled directly onto the sofa, looking utterly lazy.

Jiang Huaiyue rubbed her neck as well. "I'm going to take a bath first!"

She had also subconsciously reported it to Shen Wuxiao.

Perhaps even she had not noticed it herself.

After Jiang Huaiyue entered her room, Shen Wuxiao thought for a moment and asked the System, "System, can I check Huaiyue's affection value?"

"Ding. You can check affection in this regard. Calling it a conquest value does not sound very nice."

"Jiang Huaiyue's current affection for the host is seventy percent."

"Keep up the good work. Once you win her over and destroy the Destiny Protagonist's romantic storyline, the female lead is an important figure, and the points will be plentiful."

"Alright. I need to save up some points too, so I can exchange them for a good weapon!"

After replying, Shen Wuxiao took out his phone and unhesitatingly sent Uncle Wu a message.

"Uncle Wu, I want to sleep somewhere else. Bring Aunt Wu and use the same old trick!"

The other side quickly replied, "We'll be right there!"

After sending the message, Shen Wuxiao went to the bathroom on his side, took a bath, and changed into a bathrobe.

Jiang Huaiyue had just finished bathing too.

Her jet-black, beautiful hair hung damply over her shoulders, while her smooth skin was white as snow.

Her jade-like pretty face was dotted with droplets of water, pure and graceful like a lotus rising from the water.

The droplets on her beautiful back had yet to fall, making her appear especially alluring.

She picked up her bathrobe and slowly put it on, then stood before the mirror and dried her hair with a hairdryer.

After drying her hair, Jiang Huaiyue hesitated when she reached the doorway.

She still did not leave the room, deciding to rest just like this.

About ten minutes after lying down, Jiang Huaiyue suddenly opened her eyes.

That sense of danger had appeared again.

"Not good!" Jiang Huaiyue immediately sprang from the bed, grabbing her weapon in passing—a Waist Soft Sword!

She also grabbed the Flying Dagger Concealed Weapon she always carried!

Worried that something had happened to Shen Wuxiao, Jiang Huaiyue immediately opened the bedroom door.

Sure enough, the thing she feared had happened.

Shen Wuxiao lay on the sofa, seemingly unconscious.

Two figures stood in the living room.

They were still the same two people from last time!

Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu also looked at Jiang Huaiyue.

"What exactly are you trying to do?!" Jiang Huaiyue was extremely vigilant, gripping her soft sword tightly without daring to relax.

The other side possessed a top-tier control ability, Field Stasis.

One careless move, and she would become fish on the chopping block.

Aunt Wu chuckled. "Miss, deceiving us comes at a price!"

Jiang Huaiyue shifted her footing, her gaze sharp. "What did we deceive you about?"

"You still dare to ask? Do you really think we're fools?" Aunt Wu's voice was icy. "After we left last time, we installed miniature listening devices in the villa."

"You two are not a couple at all. Since you are not a couple, how could you have slept together?"

"What should have been an enormous merit was ruined by your deception. One way or another, we're taking you away today to offer you to our young master!"
