Looks: 88

Figure: 88

Number of relationships: 1, currently single

--Damn, was it really necessary to label her as "ex-girlfriend"?

Su Yang looked at the information on the virtual screen, somewhat surprised as he stared at the number of relationships.

--Only one? What's going on?

It was obvious that this one relationship had been with Su Yang himself.

--No way. She's such a player. How come she hasn't dated anyone else these past few years?

--System, did you make a mistake?

No mistake.

Lin Xiaomo has reached the binding criteria. Bind her?

Su Yang fell silent. This was the toughest decision he had faced. First, he hadn't expected Lin Xiaomo to score above 85. Second, he hadn't expected her not to date anyone else after breaking up with him.

But Su Yang believed a good horse never ate grass it had already passed. Even if he bound her, he couldn't possibly get back together with Lin Xiaomo, so he still didn't want to bind her.

--Don't bind her.

Lin Xiaomo is the host's ex-girlfriend and has a high basic favorability toward the host. Binding her will grant generous rewards. Are you sure you don't want to bind her?

--Damn, since you've put it that way, for the reward, I'll—

Ding! Binding successful. Lin Xiaomo's favorability toward the host: 60. The host has been rewarded with two million yuan in cash and the God of Wine skill.

Su Yang: ...

--Fuck, you bound her before I even finished speaking?

--I seriously suspect that you get a commission whenever I bind someone.

There is no such thing.

--Still, it's not bad. I didn't lose out, and I even got a drinking-related skill. It finally came. Hehe, give me the details.

God of Wine: Cannot get drunk.

--That's it?

That's it.

--Fine, fine, fine. You're getting better and better at slacking off.

"Su Yang?"

Seeing that Su Yang was standing motionless, Lin Xiaomo waved a hand in front of his eyes.

Su Yang instantly snapped out of his conversation with the system.

"What is it?"

"What are you spacing out for? What, was what I said just now wrong?"

Lin Xiaomo pressed him relentlessly, while the girlish-looking man beside her watched in silence with a smile.

"If you keep using this to provoke me, I don't mind making sure you can't get out of bed." Su Yang lowered his voice and growled.

"Oh? Did you really have surgery?" Lin Xiaomo still grinned without a care.

"Fuck your sister."

"Then I really do want to try again."

Fuck. Su Yang cursed inwardly in speechless frustration and stopped paying attention to Lin Xiaomo.

"Xiaoyun, how about we go see a movie after we eat?" Su Yang said as he ate.

"Sure, but are there any good movies lately? I haven't paid attention to new releases in a long time."

Lu Yun had watched Su Yang chat with Lin Xiaomo the whole time. Though she felt uncomfortable inside, she appeared perfectly calm on the surface.

"I don't know either. We can take a look later."

"Okay."

Twenty minutes later, Su Yang and Lu Yun had eaten their fill and finished their drinks.

Seeing that they were nearly done eating, Lu Yun hurried to the front desk to pay. She was afraid Su Yang would try to pay first.

Su Yang merely smiled. There was no need for him to fight over paying for a hotpot meal.

When men and women interacted, mutual effort was the best state of affairs. If the man kept giving and spending money while the woman only knew how to enjoy herself, such a relationship could never last.

Su Yang understood this very well.

While Lu Yun was paying, Lin Xiaomo took out her phone again and smiled at Su Yang. "Are you sure you don't want to add me on WeChat?"

"No. Our relationship ended a long time ago. There's no point in adding each other again."

"Ah, fine. I was still hoping to experience your manliness for myself. You made yourself sound so impressive, but what a pity."

"Heh, I'm not interested in you anymore. Go find someone else and experience it slowly." As Su Yang spoke, he picked up his bag and walked toward the door.

A trace of imperceptible sadness flashed through Lin Xiaomo's eyes, but no one noticed it.

After leaving the hotpot restaurant, Su Yang took out his phone and opened Tuantuan to check the latest movies in theaters.

"How about this one?" Su Yang held the phone out in front of Lu Yun.

Lu Yun looked at it and said, "There's a Little Courtyard Beyond the Clouds. Sure, that works. I heard the movie's pretty good."

"Then we'll watch that one. I'll buy the tickets first. Is the 9:10 showing okay?"

"Sure."

"Done, the tickets are bought. It's around eight now. Should we walk around the mall or find a café to sit in?"

"Either is fine. How about we walk around? It'll help us digest our food."

"Sure, let's go."

As they spoke, the two of them headed toward the mall.

Lu Yun suddenly wanted to ask what exactly the relationship between Su Yang and Lin Xiaomo was now, but the moment the thought appeared, she immediately strangled it.

She secretly stole a glance at Su Yang, but he didn't notice.

What am I doing? Why would I think that way? Why should I ask who she spends time with? I can't keep thinking like this. Go away, go away!

Soon, the two entered a large shopping mall. Su Yang saw that the first floor had many cosmetics shops.

He smiled. "Come on, let's take a look at some perfume."

"You want to buy perfume?" Lu Yun looked up at Su Yang in surprise.

She hadn't expected a man as masculine as Su Yang to wear perfume.

But she didn't say anything more and followed Su Yang toward a Dior store.

A saleswoman immediately greeted them with a smile. She had noticed Su Yang and Lu Yun ever since they entered the mall.

After all, the two of them drew a remarkably high number of glances as they walked. The man was handsome and the woman beautiful, and both were exceptionally striking.

It was hard not to catch people's attention.

The saleswoman saw that Su Yang was dressed in trendy brands and wore an expensive watch, so she knew he was wealthy.

"Handsome and beautiful, what would you like to look at?"

"We're just browsing. Do you have perfume?"

"Of course. Our perfumes sell extremely well. We have both men's and women's fragrances."

"What kind of scent do you think would suit her?" Su Yang asked, glancing at Lu Yun.

Only then did Lu Yun realize that Su Yang wanted to buy perfume for her.

Her face flushed, and she said, embarrassed, "Su Yang, you don't need to buy me perfume. I already have some."

"Take a look. You treated me to a meal today, so what's wrong with me giving you a gift? It's only proper to return the favor."

"But..." Lu Yun wanted to say, But we aren't boyfriend and girlfriend.

In her view, giving someone perfume was something done either between very close female friends or between a boyfriend and girlfriend.

"There's no 'but.' With our relationship, what's the big deal about giving you a bottle of perfume? Don't refuse. I'll get angry if you do."

Seeing how resolute Su Yang sounded, Lu Yun was afraid he might really get angry. Her cheeks flushed as she said, "Fine, fine. Then I'll thank you first."

"Ah, why are you always so formal? Relax a little when you're with me. See which one you like. Why not try some first?" Su Yang turned to the saleswoman. "She can try them, right?"

"Of course, of course. Try as many as you like. Try them until you're satisfied." The saleswoman was extremely enthusiastic.

"Then introduce some to her."

"All right. Miss, I'll show you a few of our perfumes..."

With no other choice, Lu Yun walked over with a flushed face.

Su Yang smiled and began browsing on his own. He had originally wanted to buy himself a set of skincare products, but then he suddenly remembered that he had the awesome Body Management Master skill. Why bother with skincare?

His skin was already in perfect condition. Buying skincare products would only be gilding the lily.

He looked over the men's products in the store, but there wasn't a single one he could use. None of them had any effect on him except the perfume.

But he had never worn perfume before. In his view, why would a grown man wear perfume? As long as he kept himself fresh and free of any unpleasant odor, that was enough.
