Duan Xuanyu remained silent, his eyes reddening as he looked at Su Mian.
Su Mian seemed to have lost the will to bully him.
She silently walked over, squatted down in front of him, took out a tissue, and wiped his face. "Okay, okay, don't cry."
Duan Xuanyu was taken aback.
He was just speechless, but he didn't cry yet.
He opened his mouth. "No, I didn't..."
Su Mian suddenly stuffed a tissue into his mouth.
After stuffing it in, he ran away!
Duan Xuanyu: "..."
[Hahaha, ahhh, how could this happen!]
[Bonus! I watch dating reality shows just for fun!]
[How did Mianbao come up with all those cheesy little tricks to manipulate men...?]
[Other beautiful women manipulate men: they lure them with shrewdness, taking each step carefully until they succumb. Sister Mian manipulates men: she leaps over their heads like a goat, stuffs tissues into their mouths.]
[Hahaha, I really want a wife with a serious illness like that!]
Duan Xuanyu silently took out a tissue.
He stared at Su Mian for a while, then suddenly laughed, "You do that again."
Su Mian was taken aback. "Huh? This isn't right. I'm bullying you too much; the audience will feel sorry for you."
Duan Xuanyu: "It's nothing, I just enjoy playing."
Su Mian ran over and was about to do another goat jump.
Just as she was about to get close...
Duan Xuanyu suddenly stood up, grabbed her, and carried her on his back!
"Holy crap!" With that sudden feeling of weightlessness, Su Mian could tell that her heart rate was definitely up to standard.
As long as it meets the standard, that's fine!
She cried out again, "Put me down! I'm wearing a skirt!"
Duan Xuanyu chuckled, "Now you remember you were wearing a skirt? Why didn't you realize that when the hem of your skirt brushed past my face?"
"... Put me down first."
Duan Xuanyu seriously negotiated with her. "Then you have to promise me that you won't jump over other men's heads anymore, you can only jump over me."
Su Mian: "Okay, okay, okay."
I will never feel sorry for anyone again. You were both just willing victims!
You two are truly a masterpiece of Cupid's creation!
[I told you so! He really enjoys being the victim of Mianmian! And he won't let other men be the victims!]
[No wonder you two are a couple! There's a reason you're together.]
[So sweet, so sweet, so sweet! The mutual support during the illness is just too sweet!]
Backstage, Director Zhao was biting his handkerchief so hard he was practically spitting out, "It's so sweet, I could cry! I knew this segment was perfect! I'm a genius director, the chosen one for dating reality shows!"
Yin Xiaohong walked over. "I think a competitive element is what makes a dating reality show... Never mind, I won't say anything more."

Su Mian's daily check-in task has one last item: take a commemorative photo.
There are many cameras on this street; two people can go in and take pictures without any problem, but a photographer carrying a live-streaming equipment can't get in.
They had no choice but to go in alone.
Duan Xuanyu and Su Mian stood face to face in the cramped photo booth. He wrapped his arms around her, put his hands behind her back, and tied her long hair up with a red hairband he had just bought.
Su Mian kept her head down, holding her phone, exchanging grades with everyone.
Su Mian calculated the word count for revisions. "I feel we should have enough. We can remove the mob scenes later, and each character will still get some lines."
"Actually, I don't plan to stay in this world for long. Although it's true that you don't care about what happens after you're alive, I want to leave behind more works that can bring joy to everyone..."
Duan Xuanyu lowered his head, staring at her intently.
He wouldn't listen to a word she was saying.
In such a small space, filled with her sweet fragrance, he couldn't think straight at all.
He stared at her lips as they opened and closed.
I want to kiss you.
But I dare not.
It's not that I'm afraid of getting beaten, it's that I'm afraid of making her angry.
But then I thought about it and realized I didn't need to be so polite.
Back in Northern Liang, she had promised to marry him and become his empress.
Even if she ran away halfway through the ceremony... she'd still be his fiancée.
[98%, 99%, 100%... Plug-in loaded successfully!]
[Congratulations, master! You now possess the Time Reversal function! You can turn back time!]
[But remember, you only have one minute of control time; anything beyond that will stop you!]
Duan Xuanyu's eyes flickered slightly; for the first time, he listened attentively to what the system had to say.
Is it true or false?
Give it a try.
If that's true, then that's really impressive.
If it's fake, I'll just get a beating at most.
He suddenly spoke, " Su Mian."
"Um?"
Su Mian looked up and met his dark eyes.
Their gazes lingered on each other for a few breaths.
He suddenly moved forward, pinned her against the camera, lifted her chin, and lowered his head to kiss her.
Snap!
As always, she slapped him.
I didn't even get a kiss... I got a free kiss.
He used his skill. "Rewind ten seconds."
In the next instant, time reversed.
At that moment, he had just called out Su Mian's name.
Su Mian looked up and met his eyes. "Hmm?"
Duan Xuanyu remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was ecstatic.
It's actually true!
The system proudly declared: [I've already told you, I'm high-tech from a high latitude!]
Su Mian waited a few seconds, then asked, "What's wrong?"
Duan Xuanyu suddenly asked seriously, "Why is it that every time you kiss me first, it's fine, but when I kiss you first, you hit me?"
Su Mian thought for a moment and realized that she had never kissed him first...
No, I don't think so.
Her original plan was to save him from danger, while she would complete her mission and return home, working together to finish the task.
I didn't intend to take responsibility, so I didn't really take advantage of him.
Oh wait, I think there was one time...
But that was...
"I told you over there that I would rescue you from the water and give you CPR. I didn't understand then, but now that you understand advanced modern medicine, you can't possibly still not understand, right?"
"Hmm, I don't understand." Duan Xuanyu raised his hand, cupped the back of her head, and whispered, "Anyway, you took advantage of me, and I'm going to get my revenge."
He leaned down, tilted his head slightly, and kissed her.
Then—back to twenty seconds ago.
This time the kiss lasted longer.
--Go back 30 seconds.
By the time the system realized what had happened, it was too late!
It roared in terror, "[It's gone! After this, the skill will be invalid!]"
Duan Xuanyu frowned slightly. "What?"
[This skill only lasts for one minute! And you've already used it all! You used such an awesome skill for this! I'm so angry! I'm so angry!]
"I thought it could be used indefinitely, as long as it was kept under one minute."
"I didn't expect it to be a minute in total?"
[Of course! How could such an awesome skill be used indefinitely?]
[If that's the case, then if you keep going back and forth, minute by minute... it won't be long before you're back in Northern Liang!]
You're so useless.
"They've been teasing it for hours, and now they want me to use it for just one minute."
system:[...]
How long is the cooldown for this skill?
[Wow, the little emperor is amazing! He can even speak foreign languages now! He even knows CDs!]
Just you wait!
The system was an old system that only listened to old songs, had a very slow download speed, and was extremely laggy. They went to great lengths to download a large-scale cheat program for it, all to prevent it from being manipulated by Su Mian again!
He wanted to be able to turn back time when he was being manipulated!
Who would have thought he would use it like that!
It would be more useful to buy scratch cards than to do this!
The system got so angry it automatically shut down!

After taking the photos.
Su Mian felt that something was off.
He stared at Duan Xuanyu's face for a long time.
She asked, puzzled, "Why is there a handprint on your face all of a sudden?"
She gestured with her hand. "It looks like it was my slap? Did I hit you again? And more than once?"
Duan Xuanyu cleared his throat, his expression frank. "It's nothing, I deserved it."
