I set you up on a blind date, and you've managed to overcome all the weirdness?

"neat?"

Lin Yan looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was coming from an old-fashioned radio on the wooden table.

"Where am I? What's wrong with this dress I'm wearing?"

"This is the abandoned school building of the old Red Star Medical College, the territory of the senior students."

Even after seeing it so many times, Lin Yan still sincerely felt that Chu Chu's ability was incredibly convenient.

"Brother, you almost died! Those idiots in your department even wanted to send you to the hospital, what a waste of time!"

At this point, she suddenly perked up and said loudly:

"When it really matters, it's me!"

"I immediately contacted that savage old woman, remotely commanded her to rush into the car and rescue you, and then kept an eye on her to go and borrow space from the senior in red."

"Brother, do you know how dangerous this was? If you had hesitated even a moment longer, you wouldn't have seen Chuchu again!"

Lin Yan realized it was a lie in just one second.

"Then tell me."

"Um?"

"A liar will never need a 4GB RAM stick in their lifetime."

The radio immediately went silent.

After a while, Chu Chu finally spoke, her voice noticeably lower:

"Alright, that old woman brought you here before I could give the order."

"It wasn't because of my connections that my senior was willing to lend me the space; it was because the old woman used her personal relationships to get it."

"And what about this dress?"

"The old woman got it by exchanging it with her senior."

Chu Chu spoke faster and faster, as if she wanted to quickly move on from this embarrassing moment.

"That old woman doesn't know how to heal injuries, so she brought you to my senior's place."

"This dress is my senior's treasure. She sewed it all night yesterday before putting it on you."

"And what about you? What are you doing?"

Lin Yan, having learned the whole story, was in a good mood and decided to tease Chu Chu.

"Chuchu was just... responsible for waiting for news on the radio."

Then, Chu Chu added, still unwilling to give up:

"But Chuchu spotted your signal immediately and stayed by your side! She deserves credit for her hard work, brother!"

Before Lin Yan could speak again, Chu Chu tried to forcefully change the subject.

"Oh dear! Brother, please don't say such things."

"Look to the left side of your heart, is there something extra there?"

Lin Yan shook his head with a smile after hearing this, secretly amused that Chu Chu's technique for changing the subject was a bit too clumsy.

However, Lin Yan didn't intend to tease her anymore and turned to think about how to explain to the police that he had been kidnapped.

Chu Chu waited for a long time, but seeing that Lin Yan still didn't make a move, she became a little anxious.

"elder brother!"

"Chu Chu isn't joking, there's definitely something on the left side of your heart."

Lin Yan became serious this time; he rarely heard Chu Chu so earnest.

Could there really be something there?

He carefully pulled open his collar and looked down.

There was actually a mark next to his heart.

The mark was dark red all over and its shape resembled a pair of scissors that had been opened.

Lin Yan only glanced at it a few times before feeling his mind being drawn in, as if the other end of the mark was connected to something.

"What is this? A scar?"

Lin Yan was certain that there was nothing there before, and that he had never had a tattoo.

A sigh came from the radio.

"Those are bizarre companion marks, brother. You humans have another name for them."

"Ghost marriage and death contract".

"In this bizarre set of rules, the mate mark is practically a legendary existence; Chu Chu had never seen one before."

"Only the bizarre, who possesses at least one authority, is qualified to have a partner."

"And he must have an absolute and unwavering obsession with his partner, and that person must also be willing to completely open their mental defenses to the bizarre."

"Only when all conditions are met simultaneously is it possible to leave a partner's mark."

Chu Chu's words became increasingly sarcastic, and Lin Yan could even detect a hint of exasperation in her tone.

"But this is completely unreasonable!"

"That air-locking array in the air-raid shelter could even block me; you couldn't have formed a bond back then!"

"How could you possibly have completed the contract inside that huge iron coffin?!"

Lin Yan saw that the radio started to smoke.

"Could it be that the old woman's obsession with my brother has deepened to the point where even a powerful formation can't withstand it?!"

"and……"

Chu Chu seemed to have entered a state of flow, and as she talked to herself, she became more and more certain of her guess.

"When my signal entered the air-raid shelter, I discovered that the unformed deity... had been severed by the rules of separation!"

Chu Chu became increasingly convinced of her own reasoning.

"There was only my brother in the air-raid shelter, and that old woman couldn't get in."

"In other words, my brother really did complete the partner mark with that old woman."

"But, brother, do you know?"

This mark grants you the power and rules of that old woman, but it also means…”

"Your soul has been locked up. In this lifetime, your brother will never be able to accept any other bizarre causal imprints."

Lin Yan looked down at the scissor marks.

No, why should I?!

Although we should learn to be grateful, wasn't my sincerity enough?

Lin Yan, at his peak, was a figure whose outings with his girlfriend were comparable to a small company team-building event.

She thrives in dating groups thanks to her good looks and silver tongue.

Which weirdo wouldn't be tempted by his big red envelope?

How much effort did he put into the group for a happy life in the future?

Now, he's being told, "Of all the waters in the world, I can only take one sip?"

How will we live after this?

Does this mean that every day after get off work, I'll open the door and see Saya standing in front of the stove wearing an apron, steaming hot food in a pot, and two dishes already laid out on the table?

Hearing the door open, she said without turning her head, "Wash your hands and eat."

After dinner, he washed the dishes, she wiped the table, and they snuggled on the sofa to watch TV.

She didn't speak, and he didn't need to speak either; they just quietly leaned against each other... was that it?

Hmm, this doesn't seem so bad? I even kind of long for it?

"No! No, no, no!"

Lin Yan was startled. What kind of mind-controlling poison was this? How could it destroy a person's will?

Lin Yan, a top-notch good man who aspires to live off all the bizarre gigolos in Jiangcheng, how could his vision be limited to just one dinner table?

Of all the waters in the world, why only take one sip? How heartbroken would one be if one couldn't have the remaining 2999 sips?

"I can't be this degenerate."

Lin Yan covered the mark on his chest and reflected on himself.

His eyes darted around furtively, and taking advantage of the system's stealth, he silently asked himself:

"System, is what Chu Chu said true?"

"Am I only allowed to form a partnership with one female guest?"

If this system is really that useless, then Lin Yan will have to figure out how to get himself completely stuck on Saya.

【Ding! 】

The requirements for forming a bond are: 100% affinity; no other additional requirements.

[As long as the host possesses exceptional skills and manages time effectively, they can form bonds indefinitely without any negative consequences.]

Lin Yan breathed a long sigh of relief.

Thankfully, the system is still reliable, as it can support multiple initiatives.

Suddenly, Lin Yan, who had only exhaled halfway, picked up his breath again.

He had a question on his mind.

The ability to form endless bonds is, in a way, the most terrifying aspect.

He could very well die here.
