The game is only half finished, and the entire internet is begging for an update!

"Brothers, what do you say?"

Gao Chi turned to look at the cunning advisors behind him.

"Eat up! A real man has to face the fox's culinary disasters head-on!"

"Exactly, just close your eyes and it's done. I've already thought of the review for you: it melts in your mouth!"

"Don't be a coward, brother! This is a gift from the Fox Spirit!"

"Got it!"

Gao Chi decisively moved the mouse and clicked the first option.

He chose to open his mouth.

The evening light made the eyes brighten noticeably.

She handed him the food, and Ning Chang'an lowered his head and ate it.

The screen freezes for two seconds.

Then, a line of text slowly appeared in the center of the screen.

[A very courageous attempt!]

Gao Chi couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by 'a very courageous attempt'? What kind of evaluation is that?"

"My fearless spirit deserves encouragement, right?"

In the scene, Wan Zhao stared longingly at Ning Chang'an.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

The game presents new answer options.

【not bad.】

There is room for improvement.

[Indescribable!]

The mouse hovered over the three options.

He was well-versed in the tricks of dating games and immediately chose the second option.

Ning Chang'an swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty and forced a smile: "There is room for improvement."

Evening light visibly relaxed, and proudly raised its chin.

"I knew it. But for the first time, I already have a real talent for cooking."

Ning Chang'an remained silent for a moment.

"Aren't your requirements for talent a bit too low...?"

Evening Glow didn't listen at all.

She had picked up the spatula again and was looking intently into the kitchen.

"Then I'll try again tomorrow."

"This must be a problem with the video tutorial."

[Evening Glow accepts your fair assessment.]

[Wan Zhao has decided to continue practicing her cooking skills.]

After a chaotic dinner, the game screen fell silent.

On the sofa in the living room, a marine documentary is playing on the television.

In the video, a diver carrying an oxygen tank is slowly sinking into the deep, tranquil sea.

Evening light was seen as she lay on the corner of the sofa, watching intently.

Ning Chang'an turned to look at her:

"You really enjoy diving?"

"like."

Why?

Evening Glow tilted its fluffy head and thought for a moment.

"It's you..."

"Because it's very quiet underwater."

"When you're underwater, you can only observe the other person's movements and can't speak freely. People who know each other well can tell what the other person is trying to do just by looking at their movements."

"I like this feeling of testing our teamwork."

After a few seconds, she turned her head, her bright eyes fixed on Ning Chang'an, and spoke first:

"Shall we go scuba diving for coins again next time?"

The game pops up three options.

【go!】

We'll see.

Have you seen Secret Garden?

Gao Chi didn't even hesitate.

I selected the first option immediately.

Ning Chang'an answered quickly and firmly: "Go."

Evening light turned his head and looked back at the television.

This time, she didn't speak immediately.

The television light flickered on her face.

A few seconds later, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, and her voice was a few decibels lower than usual, revealing a hint of gentleness.

"Okay, it's settled then."

[The evening glow has remembered your answer.]

[A special route for sunset viewing is now open.]

New interactions will be unlocked gradually as the date progresses.

Please respond sincerely to every invitation she invites.

"Holy crap, this is interesting, the plot is getting serious!"

"Their level of action is on a completely different level!"

"I like this kind of straightforward approach!"

"I already told you, this is my type!"

The screen gradually darkens.

The game date begins to advance.

In the following days, Wan Zhao visited Ning Chang'an's employee dormitory much more often.

someday.

As soon as Ning Chang'an opened the door, he saw Wan Zhao wearing that familiar light-colored apron, standing in the kitchen, studying a physical cookbook with a look of deep resentment.

On the dining table, there were already several plates of home-style dishes that looked fairly normal.

Gao Chi raised an eyebrow at this.

"That's progress."

The game pops up options.

【I trust you.】

Try a bite first.

[Inspect the kitchen for damage.]

Gao Chi chose the second option.

Ning Chang'an picked up a piece of spare rib and put it in his mouth.

The screen went silent for two seconds.

This time, courage paid off.

[Her cooking skills have improved in the evening.]

someday.

Evening light stopped Ning Chang'an, who was about to leave work, at the zoo's main gate.

She was clutching a crumpled shopping list in her hand, with the words scrawled at the top: eggs, milk, potatoes, and... a new frying pan.

"Come on, come with me to the supermarket to buy some goods."

As soon as the game popped up with the "Accept Invitation" button, Gao Chi clicked it.

Someone behind him couldn't help but complain.

"Hey bro, isn't your reaction a little too fast? Where's that shy, timid look from before?"

"He's not shy or demure at all now; his mind is full of flirting!"

Another day, Ning Chang'an worked overtime and returned home late.

As soon as I climbed the stairs, I saw Wan Zhao sitting directly at the door of his dormitory, waiting.

Two insulated lunch boxes were placed on the ground next to her. One contained braised chicken wings, which Wan Zhao had recently learned to make and was very proud of. The other contained green vegetables that were obviously overcooked and had turned yellow.

The game offers interactive options.

【Thanks.】

You don't need to wait for me next time.

How long have you been waiting?

You don't need to come every day anymore.

Gao Chi and the players behind him were stunned.

"Good heavens, who's whose zookeeper here?"

"Seriously, the animals are actually waiting for their keepers to get off work at the dormitory entrance?! That's completely upside down!"

"Don't ask, the answer is a two-way street, a two-way partnership!"

"Seeing this, I feel this game is quite suitable for playing alone; it's a typical heartwarming and healing game!"

Gao Chi glanced at the options, decided to put on an internal monologue, and chose the fourth option.

Ning Chang'an looked at the lunchbox on the ground and said softly:

"You don't need to come every day anymore."

Evening light dipped her head and tidied the bag.

"You don't like my cooking?"

"no."

Ning Chang'an shook his head.

"I just feel that as a fox, you should have your own life and don't have to revolve around me every day."

Evening light shone as she looked up, her clear eyes fixed on him.

"But... right now, I'm living my own life."

Upon seeing these subtitles, the people around him were all in an uproar.

Holy crap!

"The God of Pure Love collapsed to the ground! Is this the destructive power of a top-tier straight shot?!"

"Guys, what did I tell you? I really love this!"

"Where exactly is this Transformation Grass?!"

In the video, Wan Zhao paused for two seconds, then picked up the insulated bag with a touch of arrogance and turned to walk into the house.

"Enough with the nonsense, are you going to eat or not?"

[Evening Glow refuses to answer your grand pronouncements.]

The evening light is starting to urge you to come home for dinner.

The next part of the game screen turned into an extremely heartwarming, fast-paced montage.

In the supermarket.

Wan Zhao pushed the shopping cart ahead, with Ning Chang'an following behind.

She casually put two bags of potato chips into her shopping cart as she passed by the snack section.

Ning Chang'an took it out and walked to the next shelf.

Evening Light added two more packets.

Ning Chang'an took it out again.

Wanzhao glanced back at him, then immediately hugged the third bag to her chest.

……

As evening fell, she flipped through recipes in the kitchen, while Ning Chang'an acted as her guinea pig, testing the food for poison...

When Ning Chang'an came home late at night, there was always a light on in the stairwell.

Sometimes she would bring food with her in the evening, and sometimes she would bring nothing and just sit quietly on the steps waiting for him.

The records in the animal files are also being filled in little by little.

[Wan Zhao has already learned four home-style dishes.]

[Evening light illuminated the second wok she had damaged.]

[Evening Glow accompanied you on a large-scale grocery shopping trip.]

The evening light has been frequently appearing at your residence lately.

Gao Chi looked at the last line and stroked his chin.

What does "frequently appear" mean?

"They've basically moved in already, right?"

"My goodness, in the 21st century, my family owns a fox? This is too good to be true!"

Just as everyone was immersed in the sweet daily life of this cross-species romance.

The game date continues to be pushed back.

After a few everyday events, a new time indicator slowly appears at the top of the screen.

One week later.

Ning Chang'an had just entered the zoo.

A task icon that I had never seen before suddenly popped up in the upper right corner.

[Regular Task: Psychological Counseling]

Dr. Wu is waiting for you in the consultation room.
