I agreed to be a kept man, but I'm still being punished by the system.

Lin Yang's Adam's apple bobbed.

He felt his blood rushing, and a primal fire ignited from his abdomen, shooting straight to the top of his head.

The Su Man before me was like a freshly peeled lychee, glistening, plump, and exuding a deadly sweet fragrance.

His body's instincts were screaming wildly, urging him to pounce.

However, the soreness and weakness deep in my lower back was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the flame until it was just a wisp of smoke.

Last night's seven entries and exits had exhausted all his ammunition.

Even their most prized little brother has fallen silent, unable to muster the slightest fighting spirit.

If he were to do it again, he had no doubt that he would die right there.

"Death from exhaustion" is no joke.

Su Man saw the fleeting fervor in his eyes, and then saw his expression instantly stiffen, and a smile appeared on her lips.

She raised her hand and casually brushed her wet, long hair behind her head, a gesture that made the neckline of her bathrobe open even wider.

"Is the noodle soup ready?"

Her voice was hoarse and languid, as if she had just come out of the bath; every word was like a feather, tickling Lin Yang's heart.

"Um."

Lin Yang forced himself to look away, not daring to look at that dazzling white expanse anymore.

"Change your clothes before you eat, or it'll get soggy."

After saying that, as if he wanted to escape this tempting force field, he turned around and prepared to leave the master bedroom.

He was afraid he would really lose control if he stayed any longer.

A soft hand grabbed his wrist from behind.

"etc."

Lin Yang paused and turned around.

Su Man had already walked to the row of huge built-in wardrobes and opened one of the doors.

He took out a black bespoke suit, white shirt, and black tie, the style and quality of which exuded considerable value.

She handed the black suit to Lin Yang.

"This suit was custom-made for you, try it on."

Lin Yang was completely stunned.

Customization?

He certainly knew that word.

The price of a bespoke suit was something he never dared to dream of before.

What shocked him even more was how she knew his body measurements.

He suddenly remembered that there were several times before when Su Man's gaze seemed to linger on him for a long time.

It turns out she had this plan all along.

This woman...

Lin Yang didn't think much of it and reached out to take it.

Having new clothes to wear is always a good thing.

"Turn around," came Su Man's voice.

Lin Yang was taken aback for a moment, then understood what she meant.

The two of them stood back to back and began to change their clothes.

It's a very strange feeling.

There were no words, no eye contact, only the rustling sound of clothes rubbing together, yet they created a tacit understanding in the air, like that of an old married couple.

Lin Yang took off his wrinkled trousers and put on new ones.

The fabric is a top-quality wool blend, smooth to the touch, and the pants have a crisp cut that perfectly hugs his long, slender legs.

Then put on a white shirt and a suit jacket.

Every cut seemed tailor-made for him, perfectly outlining his broad shoulders and strong waist.

He put his tie in his pocket and turned around.

Su Man had already changed into a casual off-white knitted dress and was quietly watching him.

When her gaze fell upon Lin Yang, who was dressed in a suit, a dazzling light flashed in her shimmering eyes.

"Very handsome."

She exclaimed in genuine admiration.

His delicate features, paired with this well-tailored suit, have shed the last trace of student naiveté and gained a more mature and composed elite air.

His physique, honed in the gym, made the suit look full and crisp, exuding a sense of power.

Su Man smiled with satisfaction.

She stepped forward, reached out her hand as if admiring a work of art, and placed her fingertips on Lin Yang's firm chest muscles, giving them a gentle squeeze.

The elasticity of her muscles was transmitted through the fabric of her shirt to her fingertips.

Lin Yang's body tensed instantly.

He grabbed Su Man's mischievous hand.

"President Su."

He looked at her, his eyes carrying a hint of warning and helplessness.

"Stop fooling around."

We can't keep teasing each other like this.

He was really hungry.

Whether it's the body or the stomach.

"I'm hungry, I'm going to have breakfast first."

After saying that, he took her hand and walked out of the master bedroom.

……

On the dining table, two steaming bowls of egg noodles dispelled the last trace of morning chill.

After last night's exhilarating battle, Su Man completely let down her guard.

She discovered that the man in front of her could do more than just give her ultimate physical satisfaction.

His cooking could soothe her stomach.

His words comforted her.

This realization led her to make a decision.

"Lin Yang".

She put down her chopsticks and looked at him intently.

"Where you live now is too far from the company."

"The apartment I mentioned yesterday is near the company. Why don't you move there?"

Lin Yang stopped eating his noodles.

He knew that the real "gift" had arrived.

"The set left by my ex-husband?" he asked instinctively.

Su Man's expression stiffened slightly, then she nodded without hiding anything.

"Um."

Lin Yang instinctively wanted to refuse.

He knew very well what moving into that house meant.

But then I thought about it again. The urban village in the south of the city where I live is dirty and chaotic. My commute takes three hours every day. It's really not a place for a human to live.

He needs a better environment.

This is a necessary investment for "living off a woman's money".

He tried a different approach.

"Okay, then I'll pay your rent."

Su Man looked at his serious expression and was amused by his exasperation.

"You're calculating things so meticulously with me?"

"No, that's not it," Lin Yang shook his head, "I'm staying at your place, I can't let you suffer a loss."

Su Man's gaze softened.

She got it.

This was his last act of persistence as a man.

"Okay." She didn't press the matter further. "How much is the rent for your current place?"

"Eight hundred."

"Then give me eight hundred a month."

"it is good."

Lin Yang nodded in agreement.

The moment he nodded, the familiar blue light screen suddenly exploded in front of him!

【Ding! 】

The cold, impersonal system notification sounded like heavenly music at that moment!

[Congratulations, host! You have received a gift from Su Man, the No. 1 in the "Soft Rice Encyclopedia"—the right to reside in a multi-million dollar apartment in "Tianyue Huafu"!]

[The assessed value of the gifted residency right: 1000 million Dragon Coins!]

[The conversion of "soft rice points" is underway... only the conversion rate of residency rights has decreased... 1 to 0.001]

[Conversion successful! Congratulations, host, you have gained 10000 "soft rice points"!]

[The system has detected that the host's accumulated points have exceeded 10000. The conversion ratio has been upgraded to 1:0.02.]

[New Feature Unlocked: Target's Mental Activity Panel!]

A series of system notifications made Lin Yang's heart pound.

A house worth ten million!

Although it's just a right of residence, the system gave it such a high valuation!

More importantly, new features have been unlocked!

He subconsciously turned his gaze to Su Man across from him.

Above Su Man's head, in addition to the original information panel, a constantly flashing chat bubble appeared.

[Inner monologue]: He agreed... That way, I can control him. From now on, I can see him every day, eat his cooking, feel his body temperature... and also...

Lin Yang's breath hitched for a moment.

He can...see what she's thinking!

This feature is practically a top-tier cheat code tailor-made for him!

With it, he can accurately capture every psychological fluctuation of his target.

The success rate of "living off a woman" will be almost 100%!

"What are you thinking about? Why are you laughing so happily?"

Su Man's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"It's nothing," Lin Yang said, unable to suppress the smile on his face. "I just think the noodles are really delicious."

[Inner monologue]: He's so cute, like a child who hasn't grown up.

Seeing the new thoughts appear above her head, Lin Yang felt even more pleased.

"Oh, right," Su Man said, as if she had just remembered something, "I'm free this afternoon, I'll go with you to move."

Lin Yang shook his head.

"No need for that, Mr. Su, you're a very busy person."

He finished the last mouthful of noodle soup and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

"I don't have much stuff, just a laptop, some changes of clothes and bedding."

"I can just take a taxi and get everything done in one trip."

Suman said unhappily.

"No, take my car, I want to go see it too."

Seeing that Su Man was a little angry, Lin Yang had no choice but to agree.

"All right."
