Chu Yi didn't expect the system to give him a long-term mission.
However, although the system indicated the target was suitable,
to truly bring her down for in-depth communication, it would probably require a lot of effort.
This couldn't be rushed; it could only be discussed further.
After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Wanru settled Chu Yi in the guest room on the first floor.
"You'll stay in this room from now on."
Afterward, she took a shower and changed her clothes.
As was her habit, she wrapped herself in a bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom.
Unexpectedly, she ran into Zhou Yi.
At this moment, Lin Wanru was steaming, her silk bathrobe half-covering her face, her fair skin appearing and disappearing.
Zhou Yi immediately thought of the earlier scene of caressing and comforting.
He couldn't help but swallow.
Lin Wanru also suddenly remembered that there was another person in the house.
She glared fiercely at Zhou Yi.
Then, blushing, she immediately went back to her room to change into a different outfit.
Later, the three of them ate dinner together.
To Zhou Yi's surprise, despite Lin Wanru being a wealthy young lady, her cooking skills were quite good.
The food was not only visually appealing but also incredibly delicious.
This left Zhou Yi speechless. The food was mouthwatering.
"Your cooking skills are really not bad! I've lived so many years, tasted so much food, and your cooking skills can be ranked among the top three!"
"Not at all, Mr. Chu, you're exaggerating so much that I'm not even bothered."
Then, Chu Yi began to use this topic to chat with Lin Ru.
Seeing the two of them chatting so animatedly, Lin Wanru couldn't help but become wary.
After the meal, when Lin Ru went to clean up, she went to Chu Yi's side and whispered, "Old man, I need to warn you."
"Don't you dare have any designs on my sister, do you hear me?"
Chu Yi scoffed, "What do you mean by 'thinking of treating her'? We're friends of different ages! Don't get the wrong idea."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, if you don't believe me, look into my eyes, how serious!"
"Bah!" "You're not a decent person!"
Lin Wanru didn't want to argue with Zhou Yi, so she went straight back to her room.
A little later, just as Lin Wanru was about to go to sleep, she heard someone knocking on the door.
Opening the door, she saw it was Zhou Yi.
"Hey old man, what are you knocking for?" Lin Wanru asked.
Zhou Yi nodded slightly: "Ah, you guessed right, of course I have to do it!"
"? ? ?" Lin Wanru was immediately full of question marks.
It took her a while to realize.
This old man was using a double meaning!
She immediately became embarrassed: "You! How can you be like this!"
"Ah, you promised me yourself before, what, now you want to change your mind?" Zhou Yi said confidently.
Lin Wanru's demeanor instantly deflated by half: "Who said I changed my mind? I just... It's just that it's not convenient right now!"
"Ah, alright, if you're unwilling, I won't force you." Chu Yi sighed.
He turned to leave, shaking his head.
"It's not worth it in this world. Saving someone's life twice only to be stabbed twice, and yet there's not even any reward..."
Hearing this, Lin Wanru immediately felt a pang of guilt.
Chu Yi's words were indeed true.
This old man saved her twice, and even got stabbed.
Truly, how many people in this world would be willing to block that stab for her?
She had seen enough of the fickle nature of the world.
At this moment, she suddenly heard Chu Yi muttering again.
"Let's go find Lin Ru, the girl who carries the torch to light the night-time conversation. She's a talented person, and her words are pleasant to listen to. I really enjoy chatting with her about everything under the sun."
Hearing this, Lin Wanru immediately became anxious.
What? This old man actually wants to go find my sister to chat?
In her imagination, this wasn't just chatting, was it?
It was clearly a lamb walking into a lion's den!
Seeing Zhou Yi about to leave, she quickly stopped him: "Wait a moment!"
Zhou Yi turned around: "What is it?"
Lin Wanru gritted her teeth, hesitating for a long time, then seemingly giving up, she spoke normally.
"You... come in."
At midnight, Lin Ru was asleep, but felt a little uneasy.
She felt that something had happened to her younger sister, Lin Wanru.
So, she went to Lin Wanru's room to ask about the situation.
"Ah? What's wrong...?"
Through the door, Lin Ru sensed some movement nearby.
Why wasn't she asleep yet at this late hour?
Lin Ru knocked on the door, but the movement inside immediately stopped.
It was really strange. Lin Ru couldn't help but think.
"Who is it? Is that you, sister?" Lin Wanru's voice came from inside.
"Wanru, it's me," Lin Ru replied.
"Sister... You're coming to see me so late... Is there something wrong?"
Lin Ru honestly replied, "Nothing, it's just that you seem a little strange today, and I'm a bit uneasy."
"Did something happen to you?"
"No, I... didn't... happen to me today."
"Really?"
"Really... Sister, you... can rest assured!"
"Okay, then you should go to bed early too. If you sleep too late, you won't have any energy tomorrow."
"Okay... I know... Sister, you... go to bed early."
Hearing Lin Wanru say that, Lin Ru finally felt relieved.
As she lay back down on the bed, she suddenly felt something strange again.
Why did Wanru's voice sound a little strange?
But then she paused for a moment, saying something?
She thought about it for a long time but couldn't understand, finally concluding it was just an illusion.
Thinking this, she drifted off into a sweet dream.
The next day, Lin Ru prepared a lavish breakfast.
Zhou Yi woke up early.
But Lin Wanru woke up later than usual.
She changed into a different outfit.
A white top, a black, form-fitting dress with side slits, her long hair flowing over her shoulders, looking mature yet possessing a certain charm.
"Wanru, did you not sleep well last night?" Lin Ru asked with concern.
"Nothing," Lin Wanru didn't dare reveal the real reason.
Seeing Zhou Yi, she glared at him fiercely.
Then, she couldn't help but regret it.
At first, she thought Chu Yi was just an old man, and guessed it wouldn't take much time.
Who would have thought, in the blink of an eye, it went from over 10 o'clock until dawn!
Finally, she couldn't take it anymore!
Now, looking at Chu Yi, who was still as energetic as ever, Lin Wanru couldn't help but grumble inwardly.
"Damn old man, he's so old, why is he still so energetic?"
And last night, her sister suddenly knocking on the door also startled her.
Luckily, she managed to fool her.
"Hmph, if I ever get the chance, I'll definitely make a fool of this old man, so he can also be a laughingstock!" Lin Wanru secretly vowed in her heart.
Chu Yi, however, didn't pay attention to her, but was instead happily enjoying Lin Ru's breakfast.
At the same time, he was also checking the system rewards from last night.
[Ding! Host successfully infiltrated and interacted, lifespan +5 days.]
[Completed beginner's task two, gained a new ability: God-level medical proficiency.]
[Unlocked function: Can check target's favorability at any time.]
[Current remaining lifespan: 10 days.]
Besides the lifespan reward, there's also a God-level medical proficiency.
According to the system, this God-level medical proficiency, while not capable of bringing the dead back to life, is not far from it.
Even if someone is on their last breath, it can still save them.
As for the favorability...
Zhou Yi looked at Lin Wanru, and the system immediately responded.
[Lin Wanru: Current favorability rating 10, maximum value 100.]
Zhou Yi was a little surprised.
After all, Lin Wanru's favorability towards him wasn't negative, which was enough to astonish him.
And after checking the favorability increase records, he discovered...
It coincided perfectly with the time of their interaction.
Could it be...?
Zhou Yi looked at Lin Wanru.
Lin Wanru noticed his gaze and glared at him fiercely.
Zhou Yi smiled at her.
This, however, left her stunned, and she angrily turned her head away.
Looking at her, there was a hint of a woman's reproachful tone.
This made Zhou Yi ponder.
I remember a certain literary master once said that the path to understanding a woman's heart is through that...
Otherwise, why don't I find an opportunity to try it out?
