This person is clearly a male protagonist in a female-oriented novel, yet he is excessively lucid.

Originally, Yu Chenzhou refused the bank card offered by Xiao Yilin simply because he felt it was unnecessary.

But he never expected that his "not taking advantage" behavior would trigger the system's reward mechanism.

When the notification sound appeared in his mind that he had been granted a chance to participate in a lottery, he began to ponder the system's rules even more.

So it seems that the system wants more than just keeping him conscious.

Not being schemed against or harmed by others is one aspect; another aspect is not being able to scheme against or owe others anything in return.

In other words, this two-way "clear-headedness" is the true core logic of the system.

"Now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, shouldn't we get down to business as we agreed?"

Seeing Xiao Yilin put down her chopsticks and gently wipe her mouth with a napkin, Yu Chenzhou spoke with a hint of anticipation in his voice.

As he spoke, he shifted his position, moving closer to Xiao Yilin. He leaned forward, almost touching her side, and reached out to embrace her slender waist.

The warm breath brushed against Xiao Yilin's earlobe, and Yu Chenzhou's enunciation of "serious business" was particularly ambiguous, causing Xiao Yilin's ear tips to burn slightly.

Xiao Yilin turned her head away from his advances, her eyes brimming with undisguised amusement: "It really is time to get down to business."

She raised her hand and gently pushed, her fingertips landing squarely on Yu Chenzhou's chest, feeling the firm muscle lines beneath his shirt.

After pushing him away, Xiao Yilin stood up decisively, slipped on her soft slippers, her pajamas brushing against the edge of the dining chair, and walked straight towards the bedroom.

All that remained was an elegant yet slightly playful silhouette.

Yu Chenzhou's gaze followed her back, and his foot had already subconsciously lifted up. Just as he was about to take a step to follow, a "ding" sound suddenly went off in his mind.

The "tools for committing the crime" that I just bought are still in the shopping bag in the kitchen!

If you forget to bring this, who knows what kind of trouble might arise a few months later.

He suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned around without saying a word, and rushed into the kitchen, his steps even faster than before.

But by the time he found the "tools for committing the crime" in the shopping bag, stuffed them into his pocket, and rushed into the bedroom, he was still a step too late.

Xiao Yilin had already put on her long dress, the hem of which naturally fell to her upper thighs, outlining her slender waist and long legs.

She leaned against the dressing table, toying with a lipstick in her hand, her eyes fixed on him with a half-smile, clearly seeing through his anxious thoughts.

Yu Chenzhou could no longer hold back. He rushed over in three steps, grabbed her waist, and pulled her into his arms. The familiar fragrance filled his nostrils.

Just as Yu Chenzhou lowered his head to kiss her soft lips, Xiao Yilin quickly covered his mouth with her hand.

Yu Chenzhou, his voice muffled by the hand covering his mouth, assumed she was bringing up his past with Su Qinghuan, and quickly pried her hand away to explain, his tone urgent:

"Su Qinghuan and I have completely broken up. There will be no further involvement between us, really."

"I know."

Xiao Yilin smiled, her eyes crinkling, and with a slight push, she pushed him down onto the soft bed. The curve of the mattress held him firmly in place.

She leaned down to look at him, her hair falling beside his cheek, her voice tinged with a hint of mischief:

"Have you forgotten the rules I set? You only have 61 points now, which is 19 points short of my target. You can't just try to get away with it."

"I'm temporarily staying in a distant relative's vacant house. I have a lot of stuff, so you'll have to help me move it over."

Also, your bedroom is mine starting today. Whether you get to sleep comfortably in bed tonight or have to make do on the sofa depends entirely on how sincere you are from now on.

Xiao Yilin straightened up and looked down at him, her eyes full of a knowing smile.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's set off now!"

Yu Chenzhou jumped out of bed, his gaze unconsciously sweeping over her long legs beneath her skirt, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't tempted, but with important matters at hand, I was still holding onto my reason.

Do you have a lot of stuff?

If there's too much, I'll call a mover to help out later.

"It's not much, you can help me tidy up, what are you standing there for?"

"Why aren't you serving me as I embark on my journey?"

Xiao Yilin picked up the designer bag from the dressing table, slung it over her shoulder, raised one hand, and gestured for him to help her up, mimicking the manner of an empress in an ancient costume drama. Her tone was full of coquettish charm.

"Yes, Your Highness! I will serve you immediately!"

Yu Chenzhou immediately bent down to cooperate, placing his arm firmly under her raised hand. The two of them sang in unison, making Xiao Yilin burst out laughing.

The two went downstairs to the parking lot. Yu Chenzhou opened the passenger door, and as soon as Xiao Yilin got in, a familiar yet unfamiliar fragrance wafted around her nose.

She frowned instinctively, her tone carrying a hint of disdain:

"Your car..."

"Change it! We must change it!"

Upon seeing her expression, Yu Chenzhou instantly understood where the problem lay and blurted out without thinking.

"Let's go look at cars tomorrow and get a Rolls-Royce to get rid of this smell completely!"

This car used to be his special car for picking up and dropping off Su Qinghuan at get off work. Su Qinghuan preferred the scent of chrysanthemums, so he specially bought the same fragrance and put it in the car.

Over time, the smell seeped into the gaps in the seats, which Xiao Yilin naturally disliked.

"There's no need to be so wasteful. Just send it for a deep cleaning and deodorization."

As Xiao Yilin spoke, she took out a bottle of gardenia-scented perfume from her bag and sprayed it lightly into the air inside the car. The sweet fragrance immediately diluted the chrysanthemum scent.

As a mature woman, she knew very well that she couldn't let Yu Chenzhou think she was petty and couldn't tolerate any trace of the past.

A car is a major purchase, and it's irrational to replace it so easily.

But as Yu Chenzhou's current girlfriend, she had to assert her dominance in this gentle way.

"Actually, I've wanted to change cars for a long time."

Yu Chenzhou started the car, turned the steering wheel half a circle in his hands, and said helplessly.

"But as you know, I'm an attending physician at the hospital. If I drive a flashy car to and from get off work, I'll inevitably be talked about by patients."

Some envious people will say I'm accepting bribes and making extra money, which is why I've been making do with this car.

"When you were in school, didn't you say that when you had money in the future, you would definitely buy a little winged car?"

Why are you obsessed with the "Flying Goddess" now?

Xiao Yilin leaned back in her chair and teased him with a smile.

"But honestly, Bentleys and Rolls-Royces are too ostentatious. Driving one is like being a mobile 'flaunting wealth' and it's easy to attract unwanted attention. It's better to be more low-key."

She genuinely supported Yu Chenzhou's decision to buy a new car; with his current income and abilities, he was fully entitled to a better one.

"So what kind of car do you think would be suitable?"

As Yu Chenzhou drove steadily, he opened the navigation address sent by Xiao Yilin and casually asked a question.

"It just so happens that there is a private parking space in my community that has been empty for several years and has been used by the property management as a temporary parking space. It's time to make the most of it."

Xiao Yilin lightly swiped her finger across the name on her phone screen, pondering for a few seconds:

"There are only a few mainstream luxury brands in China, and I think Cadillac is a good fit."

The exterior is impressive, the interior is luxurious, and the space is practical. Most importantly, the brand's image is understated, which suits your profession as a doctor.

"Okay, I'll do as you say! Xiao Kai it is, let's go to the dealership to look at cars tomorrow!"

Yu Chenzhou made the decision without hesitation for even a second, his tone full of trust in Xiao Yilin.

"Hehe, aren't you being too hasty?"

"Aren't you even going to consider the car model and configuration?"

Xiao Yilin felt as sweet as if she had been filled with honey, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips as she deliberately teased him.

"What's there to consider?"

Yu Chenzhou glanced at the road ahead, turned the steering wheel to avoid a car that was overtaking him, and spoke with an air of matter-of-fact composure.

"This car will mainly be used to pick you up from get off work and go shopping with you. What you like and what you think is suitable is more important than anything else. So naturally, it's up to you."

Xiao Yilin's heart was completely melted by those words. She turned her head to look at Yu Chenzhou's profile as he focused on driving. Sunlight streamed through the car window, illuminating his face and outlining his features clearly. Her tone became exceptionally sentimental:

"If I weren't driving right now and couldn't get distracted, I'd really like to reward you properly."

Yu Chenzhou caught a glimpse of her shy expression out of the corner of his eye, and a thought struck him. He deliberately teased her:

"Talk is cheap; the reward needs to be something tangible to show our sincerity."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yilin boldly reached out and grabbed his right hand, which was resting on the center console.

She slightly lifted her skirt, revealing a section of her fair and smooth thigh, and pressed his hand directly onto it.

The skin is warm and smooth after a shower, and without the obstruction of stockings, the sensation is exceptionally clear.

"Big sister, you can't joke like that!"

The moment Yu Chenzhou's palm touched that delicate skin, he recoiled as if burned, his heart racing instantly, and even his grip on the steering wheel tightened.

"You're driving on the elevated highway right now! You're going to kill someone!"

He knew all too well the allure of those legs to him, and if he continued to be teased like that, he was afraid he would lose focus and do something wrong.

"Heh, you little brat, you thought I couldn't handle you?"

Seeing his startled expression, Xiao Yilin laughed so hard she almost fell over, her eyes full of provocation.

"So easily teased? Where did the fearless Yu Chenzhou from just now go?"

"Heh, are you deliberately provoking me?"

Yu Chenzhou's competitive spirit was aroused by her. A wicked smile appeared on his lips. He immediately turned on his turn signal and prepared to leave the elevated road from the next exit.

"How about I find a safe place to park, and we can have a good chat about our life goals, and see who can outmaneuver whom?"

He wasn't like the original owner of this body, someone who could be easily manipulated. He accepted Xiao Yilin's provocation.

"Hey, no, no, I was just kidding!"

Seeing that Yu Chenzhou was serious and had already started turning the steering wheel, Xiao Yilin immediately backed down and hurriedly tried to stop him.

"It's getting late, and I still have a ton of clothes to pack. Let's hurry up and move our things, or we won't be able to get any rest tonight."

In her memory, Yu Chenzhou used to be so helpless that he would not only fail to "fight back" but would also be embarrassed by her teasing.

His current assertive and roguish demeanor is really hard for her to handle.

Seeing that she had given in, Yu Chenzhou smiled slightly, turned on his lights again, and returned to the main lane. The car then drove smoothly on the elevated road once more.

Xiao Yilin leaned quietly against the passenger seat, her gaze fixed on Yu Chenzhou's profile as he focused on driving.

He has a high nose bridge and a well-defined jawline, and compared to his youthful days in college, he has gained a more mature and steady demeanor.

After a moment of silence, she couldn't help but speak softly:

You've changed so much over the years.

People always have to grow up; that's called maturity.

Yu Chenzhou raised an eyebrow helplessly and glanced at her sideways.

"Do you still expect me to forever remain that innocent young man who blushes and can't even finish a sentence when you tease me?"

"You were quite cute back then too."

Xiao Yilin's thoughts drifted back to her university days, when Yu Chenzhou was a top student with gold-rimmed glasses, and would blush to the roots of his neck if she kissed his cheek in public.

She smiled gently, her tone extremely serious.

"But honestly, I like you even more now that you're shameless and outspoken."

Compared to her naive and clueless self, the charming and sophisticated Yu Chenzhou is now more captivating to her.
