This System is Not Serious

The girl's eyes immediately fell on Lin Yuan. She happily stepped forward, opened the passenger door, and got into the car.

Her name was Liu Yifei, and those close to her called her by her nickname: Qianqian.

Liu Yifei was about the same age as Lin Yuan. She was already over 168 cm tall and had grown into a graceful young woman.

Later, netizens would widely agree that seeing her was enough to believe that someone could truly be devastatingly beautiful in their youth.

Looking at the face before him, which held a hint of childishness but was already breathtakingly beautiful, all the words Lin Yuan wanted to say became tangled.

In the end, he could only say softly, "Qianqian, long time no see."

"Long time? Haven't we only seen each other for a little over ten days?

You're blaming me for making you wait, aren't you? Sorry, the reason I'm late is..."

"Tell me the reason for being late next time we go on a trip," Lin Yuan interrupted with a smile.

"Something's not right, why are you suddenly so good with words?" Liu Yifei asked, confused.

Women were naturally more sensitive to interactions between the sexes. Lin Yuan's response was both magnanimous and subtly secured their next date.

Is this the level of eloquence that blockhead is capable of?

"Let's get going, I've been looking forward to this trip for a long time," Lin Yuan gently changed the subject, knowing that any other response wouldn't be well-received.

"You just finished filming and rushed back from Los Angeles, you must be exhausted. I'll drive," Liu Yifei said, noticing Lin Yuan's dark circles.

"No need, when I'm in a good mood, I don't feel tired," Lin Yuan replied, shaking his head.

He doesn't feel tired when he's in a good mood?

It's like saying, "The moon is beautiful tonight, and the wind is gentle," isn't it? Liu Yifei wondered if she was overthinking things, her jade-like face flushing slightly.

"Let's go!"

Lin Yuan started the car and was about to set off when a line of golden system text suddenly appeared before his eyes:

[First date with a Type B girl, action skill rewards will be given based on the host's performance!]

What the heck is a Type B girl?

Is it Type B like bra sizes A, B, C, D, E?

Or is it Type B in terms of quality, like S, A, B, C, D?

That's clearly impossible, how could she only be a B-cup! She's so beautiful, how could she only be a B-class!

So, is it Type B like blood types A, B, AB, O?

Lin Yuan thought this guess was probably correct, as Liu Yifei's blood type was indeed Type B.

Wait, dating a Type B girl and getting skill rewards based on performance?

I risked my life filming action scenes and only got attribute point rewards, but I get action skill rewards just for going on a date with a girl?

Also... if I date a Type B girl today, will the system ask me to date Type A, Type AB... girls later?

Lin Yuan suddenly realized: This system seems a bit questionable!

On one hand, it encouraged him to risk his life filming action scenes, and on the other hand, it seemed to be tempting him to date girls of various types.

System, I suspect you're hinting at someone, but I have no proof...

Never mind, Lin Yuan didn't want to think about it too much right now.

Whether there were system rewards or not, he would do his best to make today's date perfect.

What my past self couldn't do, I have the chance to make up for in this life. Can I ask for more?

"Here we go! Have a good trip!" Liu Yifei's excitement was clearly very high.

Their destination for the outing today was Bear Mountain State Park.

Bear Mountain State Park was located by the Hudson River in New York State and got its name because the mountain's shape resembled a large bear.

Autumn was the best season to visit. The mountains were covered in dense trees, with undulating peaks and valleys dotted with beautiful sapphire-like lakes and babbling streams, making it a place where one could linger and forget to return.

The mountain roads were also in good condition, allowing them to drive directly to the summit to admire the stunning scenery of the mountains adorned with layers of colorful foliage.

Lin Yuan and Liu Yifei had agreed long ago to go on a trip together when the maple leaves turned red at Bear Mountain, and ideally, to camp overnight on the summit.

The date they couldn't fulfill in their previous lives was finally happening today.

"I brought the tent, but is it really okay for you not to go home?" Lin Yuan asked.

Although it was just ordinary camping, requiring two tents, Lin Yuan knew that Liu Yifei's mother had always been very strict with her, and staying out overnight would never be permitted.

"My mom is back in China. Tonight, she won't be able to call to check up on me while she's on the plane."

Good heavens, the timing is perfect.

"The distance is about 60 kilometers, it'll take about an hour to get there." Lin Yuan casually turned on the car stereo while driving.

"My longing is all written on my face, and the heavy sadness of parting is on my shoulders..." A song came from the speakers.

"Dream Water Town," a classic old song.

"Ah, I like this song too. You have great taste!" Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"You like these old songs?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Yeah, I can't get into the new songs. The old ones are just better," she replied.

Lin Yuan teased, "I like old songs too. I love beauties more than I love my country."

Liu Yifei paused for a moment, then immediately realized Lin Yuan was referring to the singer of the song, Jiang Shan. "I love beauties more than I love Jiang Shan."

She nodded, "I really like Jiang Shan too. She's truly beautiful, fulfilling all my fantasies of a Jiangnan beauty."

Does she know how many people will project their imagination of Eastern beauty onto her in the future? Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Liu Yifei continued, "Many of us girls dream of a Jiangnan water town. Maidens picking lotuses by the lake, a young man as pure as jade on the path, ten miles of lotus flowers, lilacs in a rainy alley, and a beauty in a painted boat – these carry so many of our beautiful fantasies."

"Unfortunately, the water town in my dreams has turned into the Jiangnan Leather Factory..."

"Pfft~" Liu Yifei couldn't help but burst into laughter. "You're so annoying!"

"A delicate youth waits on the shore, for a lifetime. Why couldn't I be the bride you longed for..." the song continued from the speakers.

"Because the delicate youth grew up, became a pot-bellied Huang He, and ran off with his sister-in-law," Lin Yuan said with a mischievous grin.

She froze for a second, then erupted into laughter, "Hahaha... You're the one who ran off with your sister-in-law... You're the pot-bellied one... You're ruining my childhood... Hahaha..."

Hey! Aren't you worried about your image? Lin Yuan thought to himself.

But a Celestial Fairy is still a Celestial Fairy; she's beautiful no matter what!

Accompanied by the song and laughter, the car headed north, and soon arrived at Bear Mountain Park.

"It's so beautiful, like a vibrant, richly colored painting."

Liu Yifei exclaimed at the foot of the mountain, gazing at the scenery painted with red foliage.

"It is beautiful. Where there are lakes, the clear water reflects the mountainside covered in red leaves, much like Jiuzhaigou back home," Lin Yuan replied.

"When we go back to China, let's go to Jiuzhaigou together," Liu Yifei said, smiling as she extended her pinky finger to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan skillfully hooked his pinky with hers, then tapped his thumb on top, sealing the promise.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see an even more beautiful place," Lin Yuan said, starting the car and continuing up the winding mountain road.

After driving for about twenty more minutes, they reached a spacious area halfway up the mountain. Lin Yuan pulled the car over to the side of the road and got out.

"There's a small waterfall and valley ahead, with spectacular scenery. We'll walk there."

"Huh? Are there going to be bears in the wild?"

Liu Yifei's concern was understandable. This was North America, and the place was called Bear Mountain.

"It's okay. There are so many cars on this mountain; any bears would have been scared away long ago. Even if we do encounter a bear, we won't be afraid. I brought this."

Lin Yuan pulled a small bottle from his pocket: bear spray, which is highly effective against bears due to their sensitive sense of smell.

"Then let's go, let's make the most of our time." With her worries dispelled, Liu Yifei was eager to proceed.

The two walked along a path overgrown with weeds, untrodden by others.

After walking a few hundred meters, the rugged mountain path became increasingly difficult to navigate, requiring constant attention to their footing and balance.

"How are you doing walking on this mountain path?" Lin Yuan, who was ahead, asked as he looked back.

"I'm fine, I can still... Ah..."

Perhaps distracted while answering, Liu Yifei missed her step and was about to fall.

Lin Yuan, quick as lightning, stepped forward and grabbed her hand, pulling her back.

Her fair, small hand was held in his palm, its skin incredibly smooth and soft, emitting a faint warmth.

Seeing that she had regained her balance, Lin Yuan didn't let go. Instead, he asked, "Don't fall again. This place isn't easy to walk on. Shall I walk with you?"

"Okay."

His right hand held her tender little hand, but he felt as if that hand had tightly gripped his heart, his own pounding heartbeat audible to himself.

Lin Yuan didn't look at her, deliberately avoiding her gaze. Some things are better left unsaid; making them explicit might make things awkward.

"Do you guys always like to drag girls into the woods?" the Celestial Fairy suddenly asked from behind him.

"Huh?"
