Fortunately, A Jiu's clothes didn't require custom tailoring. Young Master Fei ordered his subordinates to conduct a carpet search in their family's mall and they quickly found an outfit identical to A Jiu's original one.

After it was brought over for A Jiu to put on and they tidied up, the two of them immediately got into a low-key Volkswagen Bora without stopping.

The Volkswagen Bora looked out of place among the high-end, luxurious, and stylish sports cars in the garage. It was unclear why Fei Yangyao had bought such an unassuming car.

The original book didn't mention this, nor did the memories he had received.

Young Master Fei drove, following the address in the book for Ye Chen's initial arrival in Nancheng. He carefully drove A Jiu home, as if afraid of being discovered by others.

"Don't forget our agreement, A Jiu."

"Mhm!"

For some reason, Fei Yangyao had the illusion of taking his girlfriend home after she stayed over at his place, afraid of her brother finding out.

Only when he saw A Jiu walk into her home did Young Master Fei breathe a sigh of relief and drive away.

This should be fine now. It seems there's nothing unusual, and Ye Chen shouldn't develop too much hostility because of this and kill me right from the start.

"System, what's going on with A Jiu? Is she alright? Why does she seem even more naive than in the book?" Thinking of her serious little expression, a smile couldn't help but appear on Young Master Fei's lips.

[No problems]

Hearing this, Young Master Fei was relieved.

After all, the author hadn't finished writing it, and he was afraid of some random new setting appearing.

Since the system said it was like this in the original book, then it was fine.

"My expression is relaxed, I'll skip around, my movements are casual and free, you can't learn this..." Feeling relaxed, Young Master Fei hummed a song as he returned home.

It was almost noon when he got home. Starving, Young Master Fei quickly sat down and wolfed down his breakfast.

The entire dining room was very spacious. The dining table alone, which was six to seven meters long, was enough to be impressive. Young Master Fei muttered to himself, This, this, although I really like this luxurious style, it's just too lonely eating here by myself!

He was the only one in the vast dining room besides Uncle Fu, the butler standing by his side. A sense of loneliness arose spontaneously.

"Uncle Fu, why don't you join me for something to eat?"

"Young Master, I've already eaten," Uncle Fu replied familiarly.

"In the future, let's change to a smaller dining room and a smaller table. It's too lonely like this, with no one to eat with me. Why did my parents get me such a big dining room? Don't they know I'm the only one at home?"

Since no one else was present, and Uncle Fu was loyal to him, Fei Yangyao couldn't help but start complaining fiercely.

"Alright, Young Master," Uncle Fu replied with a smile.

"By the way, Uncle Fu, what happened last night?"

It was then that Young Master Fei understood what had happened after he fell asleep.

"So, you're saying you only saw me sleeping in bed and didn't find anyone else?"

"Yes, Young Master. I thought that girl had already gone home, so I didn't disturb you further."

It seemed A Jiu had carried him to bed, and then she took off... cough cough, that's not important. Then, because she was petite and he was tall, it wasn't obvious at all in the bed, so much so that the butler didn't notice.

After eating his fill, Fei Yangyao was about to open the system, intending to check how the previous day's mission had gone.

Just then, he heard the system:

[Congratulations Host, mission completed, you have received one lucky draw chance]

[Congratulations Host, you have drawn one Plot Reconstruction chance]

"Wait, I haven't done anything yet, why did you draw for me?"

[Oh my! This makes it seem like you drew well, Host! You won before even drawing]

"What about lucky draw machines with turntables? Why didn't I see one? Where did you draw from?"

[Apologies, the lucky draw machine only appears when you are drawing]

"Hey, then what's the difference between this and just giving it to me directly!"

[My name isn't 'Hey', my name is...]

[Cough... Cough...]

[In short, confess to Gu Xiyue at noon today, which can repair part of the plot, up to 99%]

"Hmm? That simple? Aren't there any butterfly effects or anything?" When it came to the matter he cared about most, Fei Yangyao's attention was immediately diverted.

[Nothing that shouldn't happen will happen]

What a shame I didn't know yesterday, otherwise I could have kept the flowers from today and wouldn't have to buy them again.

Wait a minute!

I still have to buy flowers!

Fei Yangyao hurriedly raised his hand and glanced at the Rolex watch on his wrist, realizing time was running out.

"Uncle Fu, quickly, to the flower shop!"

"Yes, Young Master."

The Little Flower Shop, with its center opened up and filled with various flowers and plants, felt a bit cramped.

"Boss, how many Supreme Roses do you have left?"

Normally, Young Master Fei wouldn't need to come here himself; such errands were usually handled by Uncle Fu.

After all, this Little Flower Shop was located in a rather remote area, requiring a significant detour to reach.

Uncle Fu had already pre-ordered the day's quota of roses, but would that be enough for a confession? It seemed too stingy and shabby, not fitting for Young Master Fei's devoted admirer persona.

Young Master Fei came in person to secure the crucial plot item and find the most suitable flowers based on the situation.

It was unlikely he could get all 520 Supreme Roses.

Uncle Fu had mentioned ordering the 520 roses weeks in advance, but since he needed them now, he couldn't afford to be picky and would have to make do with whatever was available... improvising as he went.

Never mind 520.

Even 99 would be fine.

After all, the original novel described "a whole carload," as many as "520."

Hundreds of Supreme Roses were out of the question, but Young Master Fei thought it was still quite possible to assemble a decent-looking cartful. Gu Xiyue probably wouldn't notice; in the plot, she merely "glanced at the Supreme Roses in the car."

It was strange, though. He didn't know what the author was thinking with these Supreme Roses.

They were only sold at this one flower shop.

Yet, after reading hundreds of chapters, the boss and Young Master Fei had absolutely no plot development between them.

It was better this way; if there were any interactions, Young Master Fei would have to be cautious, as any future impact could be a huge problem.

"How many would you like?" A voice, as melodious as a nightingale and as clear as an oriole, asked.

"As many as you have!"

"I'm sorry, they were all sold out yesterday. My apologies."

Upon closer inspection, there was only one person in the shop. As expected, it was the female lead, Chen Xiaoxiao.

She was pure and refined, like a blooming white lotus. A faint smile graced her lips, making every customer feel as if they were basking in a spring breeze. Although her eyes were severely dim and blurry, one could imagine that before losing her sight, they must have been bright and radiant.

Yes, Chen Xiaoxiao was blind.

It was fortunate she was blind; otherwise, Young Master Fei wouldn't dare appear before her. If the plot were to collapse, he'd have nowhere to cry.

Speaking of which, in the original plot, Chen Xiaoxiao was Ye Chen's childhood sweetheart, growing up together.

However, due to an accident in her early years, she contracted an illness and lost her sight. She stumbled her way to Nancheng, where an old woman took her in. She helped out at the old woman's shop, and after the old woman passed away a year ago, she inherited the flower shop.

Originally, the shop didn't just sell flowers; it also offered pet services. But Chen Xiaoxiao couldn't handle lively animals, so she changed the shop to exclusively sell flowers.

Because she changed the business type, she lost some old customers. Moreover, the shop was in a remote location, and new customers were scarce. After taking over, she often struggled to make ends meet, and even recently, she was swindled out of a sum of money.

It was then that Ye Chen encountered her by chance, discovering that the little girl from back then had grown into a delicate and beautiful young woman. He developed feelings for her and used his medical skills to cure her blindness.

Later, Chen Xiaoxiao followed Ye Chen to repay his kindness, which was a natural progression.

However, Chen Xiaoxiao didn't appear very often in the novel; she even went missing for a long period in the middle. It was clear that even after following Ye Chen, she wasn't particularly favored.

Her fate was thinner than paper.
