After their confessions were rejected, they regretted it for the rest of their lives.

Zhou Juzi sat in the car.

Looking at Xia Weichan, who was focused on driving, her peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly.

The girl still didn't know why, but when she was with him, her fatigue would disappear very quickly.

With her fingers, which she had just withdrawn from Xia Weichan's palm, Zhou Juzi gently pressed the soft inner thigh, and the muscles that had been sore from standing for long periods of time due to training felt much better.

The girl enjoyed being next to Xia Weichan. She stretched comfortably and tried to loosen her stiff limbs.

But suddenly I found that my leg extension was blocked, and the chair was positioned strangely...

It looks like the passenger seat has been moved?

"Um?"

Zhou Juzi was a little confused, and she asked:

"Did anyone else sit in your passenger seat this afternoon?"

"Neighborhood child".

"oh."

The girl nodded, pursed her lips and remained silent. She gently licked the tip of her canine tooth with the tip of her tongue, which was one of her little habits.

She didn't think much about this small detail.

Her beautiful eyes flickered slightly, as if she were thinking about something else...

Because of this afternoon's training, and what Kurimaki Tsuruo said to him...

She became somewhat curious about Xia Weiyu.

That's Xia Weichan's brother.

Kuriju Tsuruo said that she and Xia Weiyu are very similar to her and Xia Weichan now.

But it's different; Xia Weichan has never expressed his liking for her, or rather, his desire to pursue her.

If only it were really as Tsuruo Kurimaki said...

The girl's fair thighs were slightly pressed together, and her fingers couldn't help but gently caress them.

Her beautiful eyes darted around, gazing at the city scenery outside the car window, before turning her head to look at Xia Weichan.

Just as Zhou Juzi was about to speak...

Xia Weichan, who was driving, spoke first:

"To be honest, I'm very grateful to you."

"Eh?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Juzi was taken aback, then turned and looked at him intently.

If anyone should be saying thank you, it should be her...

The girl's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a complex emotion:

"I should be thanking you..."

"Don't be too grateful to me."

Xia Weichan interrupted her, then said in a calm tone:

"To you, I am just an insignificant person. I don't mind if you have feelings for me, but you'd better limit those feelings to the level of 'having feelings for me,' and you'd better treat me as someone who will die in 3 months."

"..."

He said that again. Zhou Juzi hates hearing the words "three months later" now.

The girl's expression was indescribable.

She didn't know that what Xia Weichan said was not an exaggerated joke at all.

But it is a fact.

The person "Xia Weichan" may actually die in three months.

However, Zhou Juzi didn't take those words to heart.

What the girl needs to do now is to find a way to keep Xia Weichan by her side until the contract expires in three months.

Perhaps it's a bit selfish...

However, it is precisely because of this that Zhou Juzi trains so desperately, transforming her motivation from pursuing her dream to becoming Xia Weichan...

She didn't want to lose this addictive sense of security once she had it.

So, Zhou Juzi pursed her lips and spoke in a pleading tone:

"I will try my best to do as you want, but in the meantime... please don't leave my side, okay?"

"The contract states that I cannot leave within the three-month period, so don't worry."

Xia Weichan said calmly, just like the previous few noons, he habitually fed Zhou Juzi chicken soup.

"You have to work hard for yourself."

"But…"

"Alright, stop thinking about useless things. Get off the bus, get some rest, and see you tomorrow."

Xia Weichan parked her car at the entrance of Jiangda University with practiced ease.

I've calculated the time, and the day after tomorrow is the day of Aya's debut...

Just as he was thinking this, preparing to take another look at the system's progress...

His collar was grabbed by the girl's fair arm, and the sudden pull caused Xia Weichan's upper body to tilt to one side.

"Um?"

Xia Weichan subconsciously turned her head.

Her pink lips touched his face almost instantly, and her soft, cool hair brushed against his neck.

Xia Weichan was startled, then quickly realized what was happening and turned her head to dodge. The kiss that was meant for his lips landed on his cheek instead.

The touch of the girl's lips gave Xia Weichan a warm, moist sensation, as if she were being covered in jelly.

You can feel Zhou Juzi's slightly rapid breathing; her long, curled eyelashes brush against your face, making it feel a little itchy.

The sensations on her cheek made Xia Weichan freeze.

The next second, as if in retaliation for his dodging, the spot where Zhou Juzi had kissed him was lightly bitten by the girl's fangs.

It wasn't a particularly harsh blow, but it still caused Xia Weichan some pain.

This feeling didn't last long.

"I'm working so hard for you..."

The girl's words rang in Xia Weichan's ears, her voice trembling as if she were lacking oxygen.

Then came the sound of the car door being opened.

After doing all this, Zhou Juzi chose to escape.

The girl looked like a thief who had done something wrong; she turned and ran away after getting off the bus.

Perhaps due to nervousness, I tripped over my own foot and almost fell.

Xia Weichan frowned, staring blankly at the girl's retreating figure as she ran away.

This should be the first time in his four playthroughs that his pet has taken the initiative to kiss him.

If he hadn't reacted quickly and tilted his head, he would have lost his first kiss.

"..."

The lingering sensation of the girl's lips on her face was still very clear.

Compared to that, the pain of being bitten by a canine tooth is insignificant.

This time, it was Xia Weichan's turn to ask "why"...

It seems that Zhou Juzi's affection for him is higher than he imagined?

He had to reconsider, just as his phone beeped with a message notification.

Zhou Juzi: [The contract states that I have autonomy over matters other than training, and it never said I couldn't kiss you.]

This is the girl learning from him, explaining the sudden kiss from the perspective of a contract.

"..."

Xia Weichan remained silent for a moment, then opened the system panel. This time, he didn't intend to check the progress of his character's development.

It's about favorability...

【Goodness Rating: 7】

"?"

Through the system's garbled text, he finally saw the numbers in front of him.

Xia Weichan froze for a moment, as if in a dream. His fingers trembled slightly. He closed the panel, then opened it again.

[■■ Degree: ■9]

As if time had stopped, Xia Weichan's heartbeat froze for a moment.

Then came an incredulous sound:

Holy crap!

How the hell is this 79?!

When did it get so tall?

They've only been together for a week and a half, right?

Is this favorability rating rising at a rocket speed?

Xia Weichan doesn't remember deliberately trying to increase Zhou Juzi's favorability.

If the affinity level is fine, then according to the affinity level standards previously listed by the system...

With a favorability rating approaching 80, this is no longer considered a normal romantic relationship.

It's even gotten to the point where if they keep delaying confessing their feelings, there will be problems.

Let's calculate it this way...

Was the girl's favorability rating 72 yesterday?

If that number is indeed the case…

The distant words the girl had deliberately said to Azusa Ayaka earlier, and the gloomy expression she had shown...

At that time, it was like dancing on a tightrope.

This made Xia Weichan feel a little scared.

The girl managed to restrain herself because of the contract.

Xia Weichan took a deep breath, clinging to a sliver of hope that perhaps she had misread the situation.

So he opened the favorability panel again and took a look...

【■Gain:■0】

It's "0"...

…It's all over.
