Cry louder, I can't hear you.

"...I still have a little bit left from the lottery I won last time."

Yun Qiao's gaze drifted away.

Shen Suwei didn't speak. He looked down and tapped his phone a few times. Soon, Yun Qiao's phone vibrated.

She clicked on it with a puzzled look and found it was a notification of a deposit.

Someone gave her a million?!

Just as I was wondering, I heard Shen Suwei put away his phone, his tone indifferent:

"I owe you a million."

"Huh?" Yun Qiao suddenly looked up at him.

Shen Su looked at her with a chilling gaze:

"Didn't I tell people that I gave you a lot of money during your four years of college?"

"..." Damn, how did he know? Shen Shiyu even asked him about something like this?

"We can't just take this good reputation for nothing."

Yun Qiao lowered her head, trying to avoid the topic by pretending to be stupid.

Shen Suwei smiled as he watched her pecking at rice like a chick.

She disappeared for three days, giving away money all over the internet, spending ten million in just one night.

He didn't know where Yun Qiao got her money, but her appearance was strange in itself...

His parents died trying to save him?

Shen Suwei's gaze deepened slightly. How come he didn't know that he had such an experience?

But it seems that everyone thinks so.

Was this unexpected experience due to a problem with his memory, or was it because of Yun Qiao?

She didn't want to talk about it, and he didn't make things difficult for her. As long as she stayed by his side, he wouldn't pursue the matter.

Shen Suwei didn't say anything, and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

The refrigerator contained fresh ingredients that he had asked someone to buy that afternoon.

Yun Qiao breathed a heavy sigh of relief as she heard the footsteps fade into the distance.

She didn't dare go into the kitchen, so she wandered around the house alone. After she finished, she discovered a very important problem.

The house has a large living room, a large kitchen, and a large balcony.

The bedroom is also very large.

But there's only one bedroom.

When Shen Suwei asked her to come and stay, did he only intend for her to stay, or...?

In the past, Yun Qiao would never have thought of it this way, but the system said that Shen Suwei's favorability towards her was 100%.

How could he possibly be simple-minded?

[Host, do you not want to pursue Shen Suwei anymore?] The system suddenly went online.

That's a strange question.

Yun Qiao became slightly wary. "What?"

[Actually... you could change the mission again, like, trying to win over the male lead, Chi Zhou.]

"No need." Yun Qiao refused decisively.

This damn system's intentions couldn't be clearer.

Knowing full well that Shen Suwei likes her and Chi Zhou doesn't like her, she still tries to trick her into trying to win over Chi Zhou?

You just want her to fail, right?

So, the reason it sent her to seduce Shen Suwei was because it thought she wouldn't succeed.

Unexpectedly, Shen Suwei actually liked her.

Now that there is hope, it is unhappy.

Yun Qiao really didn't understand.

Based on the usual patterns of system novels she had read, wasn't the purpose of a system to help its host complete tasks?

If the host completes the task, it should also benefit, right?

Why has this broken system been so keen on watching her fail and suffer misfortune for the past five years?

Sometimes he even deliberately messes with her?

Unable to figure it out, and with a headache, she refused to think about it any further.

Just then, she remembered that she hadn't logged into WeChat since getting her new phone and phone number.

Yun Qiao fiddled around in the living room for a long time, until Shen Suwei finished preparing dinner, before she was able to successfully change the WeChat account she had linked to.

As soon as I logged into WeChat, I saw Shen Shiyu's message.

I sent it to her in the afternoon.

Ask her what happened between her and Shen Suwei.

He's so carefree, it's like he's forgotten that he hurt her just a few days ago.

Yun Qiao was hesitant about whether to reply.

Although she felt guilty towards Shen Shiyu, she wondered if the system would assign her more unethical tasks.

I think the best way to get along with Shen Shiyu now is to make her hate me and stay away from me.

Anyway, it's always good to be a little wary of her.

"What are you looking at?"

Shen Suwei's voice suddenly came from behind her, startling Yun Qiao. Inadvertently, she sent out an emoji.

It's still a "love you biubiubiu" emoji.

Yun Qiao: ...

She was about to retract her message when Shen Shiyu replied to her WeChat call almost instantly.

Yun Qiao glanced at Shen Suwei with a mournful look, then reluctantly answered the call.

"You finally replied! Where did you and Shen Suwei go?"

Behind the scenes, Shen Shiyu never called Shen Suwei "brother," and always addressed him by his given name.

Yun Qiao hadn't expected her to bring up Shen Suwei right away.

The living room was quiet, but Shen Shiyu's voice was quite loud.

Yun Qiao didn't even need to think; Shen Suwei heard it clearly.

She cleared her throat. "Your brother's right next to you. Do you want to talk to him?"

The other side remained silent for a few seconds.

When he spoke again, he was much more obedient:

"Qiaoqiao, where did you and my brother go?"

"..."

When are you and my brother coming back?

How do you know I'm definitely with your brother?

"I saw you guys when I got off work this afternoon." Her tone was a little strange, and she seemed hesitant to speak. Finally, she changed the subject, "Could you have told me you were back? I have something I want to tell you."

"I'm not going back, no need to wait." Shen Suwei suddenly took Yun Qiao's phone, said this, and hung up the phone.

Yun Qiao was taken aback, but when she met Shen Suwei's indifferent eyes, she said, "Let's eat first."

She held back again, "...Okay."

He had originally planned to fool Shen Shiyu and tell her that he wasn't with Shen Suwei.

But Shen Suwei's words were so ambiguous...

Without even thinking, Shen Shiyu had already imagined the whole story.

Tonight's dinner is sweet and sour fish.

Yun Qiao took a bite and was very surprised.

It tastes exactly the same as Aunt Lin's.

If Shen Suwei hadn't been the only one in the kitchen just now, she would have suspected that Aunt Lin was secretly cooking inside.

"How come you know how to make Aunt Lin's sweet and sour fish?"

There are tutorials online.

Yun Qiao didn't believe it.

"Aunt Lin's sweet and sour fish is different from the ones online."

That was the best sweet and sour fish she had ever eaten.

"What's different?" He looked up at me.

"I don't know, I can't explain it."

Actually, Aunt Lin's cooking didn't suit her taste at first either.

But Aunt Lin, who I didn't expect, would remember what she said: "I don't like it too sweet, it's best to be seven parts sweet and three parts sour, and the outer layer should be crispy."

The sweet and sour fish that Aunt Lin made later always tried to match her taste.

Over the years, it has been improved to perfectly suit her taste.

"You really didn't secretly learn from Aunt Lin?"

Shen Suwei remained silent for a moment, then quietly changed his words: "I've learned it."

"I knew it! You must have learned it from her, otherwise how could it taste exactly the same?"

Shen Suwei curled his lips but didn't say anything.

Yun Qiao was somewhat smug.

Shen Suwei definitely learned it for me; he really loves me!

The system responded in a slightly dead tone: 【Oh.】

[System, I'm about to complete the mission. Are you happy?]

【……happy.】

He's clearly unhappy.

But when it's unhappy, she's happy.
