I downloaded the app and discovered that my childhood sweetheart's affection level had skyrocke

Lin Zhou didn't expect the Heartbeat app to send him a new message. He picked up his phone and glanced at it, only to find it was a new task list.

However, this task is not displayed in the individual's task list, but appears in the [Hypnosis] option, which means that it is a completely new task list.

"Hmm..." Lin Zhou looked at the new task in the options—

So many girls like you, try out the new features!

[Task: Hypnotize a high-favorability target once]

Bai Wanwan: (0/1)

Luo Xiaoke: (0/1)

Ye Zhiyu: (0/1)

Gu Yuning: (0/1)

Rewards: Each target grants an additional 5 seconds of hypnosis time and allows you to gain attribute points from the target.

"Hmm?" Lin Zhou was stunned for a moment after seeing the list. Was the Heartbeat App reminding him? Indeed, he rarely used the hypnosis function. After obtaining the "Heaven Rewards Diligence" skill, he had been working hard to train his body.

Lin Zhou personally felt that since Bai Wanwan liked him, he didn't care much about the hypnotic function.

But are Luo Xiaoke and Ye Zhiyu considered targets?

Lin Zhou wasn't quite sure about Luo Xiaoke's attitude towards him, because Luo Xiaoke was always so affectionate and cute towards him and Bai Wanwan and the others, but her 90+ favorability rating was probably quite high.

Coco likes herself.

As for Ye Zhiyu, she only has a 10+ favorability rating, so why is she considered one of the targets?

However, Bai Wanwan had put herself through a lot of trouble when she entered her yandere state before, so Lin Zhou thought that hypnotizing her as a way to collect interest wouldn't be bad. He couldn't keep her constantly being thought about and locked in a dark room, could he?

Lin Zhou put down his phone, but Bai Wanwan was very concerned about what he had been looking at. After all that trouble, she asked, "Whose messages were they?"

"It's nothing, just some GG (game-related graphics)." As Lin Zhou spoke, he didn't forget to ask, "Wanwan, how's the drawing?"

Bai Wanwan glanced at the line art in her hand, feeling it was almost done. "Hmm...Are you thirsty?"

After drawing for so long, you must be tired.

Lin Zhou plopped down next to Bai Wanwan, picked up his phone, and said, "Wanwan, look here—"

Bai Wanwan tilted her head, and Lin Zhou pressed the hypnosis button himself.

"..."

Lin Zhou glanced at the countdown on his phone. Seeing that Bai Wanwan remained motionless, he stroked his chin, then reached out and gently pinched her cheek. "So cute~"

Speaking of which, doesn't Wanwan always say she hates herself? Maybe we should ask her.

"Why do you say you hate me? Are you being tsundere?"

Bai Wanwan was silent for a few seconds before speaking, "I hate it."

"Well?"

Even under hypnosis, would you say you hate someone? Isn't your affection level already maxed out?

"You really hate it?"

"..." Bai Wanwan fell silent again.

Is tsundere (arrogance) more effective than hypnosis?

Although Lin Zhou didn't quite understand, judging from Bai Wanwan's behavior, she definitely didn't dislike him; otherwise, she wouldn't be constantly thinking about hiding him in a dark room so that no one else could see him.

Her aloof and cold demeanor is also adorable.

"Let's collect some interest first~" Lin Zhou cupped Bai Wanwan's little face and kissed her, then gently stroked her little nose with his fingers.

Bai Wanwan trembled slightly, but made no other move, simply placing her hands casually on the other person's arms.

Because a question had just been asked, there wasn't enough time, and Lin Zhou didn't do anything more.

After they parted, Bai Wanwan remained silent and did not say anything.

Lin Zhou glanced at the time; thirty seconds had passed. "Wanwan, are you thirsty? Shall I go get you a drink?"

Bai Wanwan lowered her head and softly hummed in agreement, "Mmm."

"Okay." Lin Zhou got up and went downstairs to get Bai Wanwan a drink.

As the studio door closed behind her, Bai Wanwan turned her gaze away from the doorway, extended a finger, and gently touched her lips. "..."

She straightened the wrinkles in her clothes without saying a word, but the blush on her ears spread all the way down, giving her fair skin a pinkish hue.

Downstairs, Lin Zhou took a bottle of fresh milk from Bai Wanwan's refrigerator and glanced at the contents of his phone.

[Hypnosis duration increased by 5 seconds, Charisma attribute increased by 1]

"Charm?" Lin Zhou asked with a regretful expression.

It would be great if he could improve other attributes; charm isn't very useful for him.

However, Lin Zhou's highest attribute happens to be charm.

"It's useless."

But at least there's been some improvement.

1% is a complete victory.

After taking the milk upstairs, Lin Zhou found Bai Wanwan sitting on the edge of the bed, lost in thought. He plopped down next to her. "Here, chilled fresh milk..."

After a pause, Lin Zhou asked again, "Can you drink something cold today?"

Bai Wanwan nodded gently.

"Okay then."

While drinking her milk, Bai Wanwan suddenly asked, "Aren't we going to continue?"

"Huh? So eager?" Lin Zhou paused for a moment, then said, "Then you can be the model, and I'll draw a few pictures for you too."

"..."

"What's wrong?"

"it is good."

After the two practiced drawing together for a while, there was a knock on the door. "Wanwan~ Why are there boys' shoes in the entryway?"

"Wanwan?"

The door opened, and Mr. Bai appeared. He immediately saw his daughter practicing drawing. "Wanwan~ Look what Daddy brought you back? A super delicious cake~"

Upon seeing Lin Zhou sitting opposite Bai Wanwan, he said,

"Where did this blond guy come from? What is he doing in my daughter's room?"

Lin Zhou was embarrassed. "Uncle... my hair is black."

"Hmph." Mr. Bai snorted, which was his response to Lin Zhou's greeting. But he wasn't really angry. He just said, "I understand young people, but young people should be more restrained before marriage. You should know what you should and shouldn't do."

"Okay, Uncle, I won't do it."

"Huh? Our Wanwan is so cute, and you don't do anything?"

"Yes, yes, I can do it."

"What?! What are you going to do?!"

"..."

What a troublesome old man.

"We're drawing..." Bai Wanwan said at this moment, "to participate in a competition."

"Alright, you guys go ahead with your work." The door closed again.

Lin Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, but just then the door opened again, startling him. "Wanwan, did he touch your leg?"

Bai Wanwan: "Yes, there is today."

"Lin Zhou, come out here for a moment, Uncle wants to have a chat with you." Bai's father showed off the muscles in his arms, grabbed Lin Zhou by the back of his collar, and led him away.

Lin Zhou looked utterly dejected. "Uncle, please let me explain, it was just a massage..."

"massage?!"

"No, it's just that I exercised with Wanwan, and my muscles are really sore."

"ha?!!!"

……

Seeing this, Bai Wanwan shook her head, "Idiot Lin Zhou."

As if she had thought of something, she clutched her clothes at her chest, her ears turning red as she lowered her head.
