Returning to university, starting with confessing to his ex-wife, his counselor.

"Ahem... um... little sister, is that... really your boyfriend sitting over there?"

The lobby of the Hilton Hotel.

The receptionist, dressed in a standard business suit, stole a glance at Liang Chao, who was getting up and stretching in the distance, before quickly averting her gaze and speaking casually.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiayu, who was looking down at her phone, blinked and realized she was no longer bored.

"Yes, we just started talking about it."

She replied casually, raising her hand to tidy her hair that had been blown by the wind. Her movements were natural and graceful, as if she had instantly transformed from a cute and sweet girl into an elegant young lady.

The hotel receptionist was a young woman, probably in her early twenties, tall and with delicate features.

She glanced at the short, cute face in front of her, pursed her lips, and gave a forced smile.

"Haha, that's great! Your boyfriend is quite tall! How did you manage to win him over?"

These words, seemingly a compliment, actually contained a hidden barb, questioning how Xiao Jiayu, who is so short, could have such a tall and handsome boyfriend.

The girl's tone was sarcastic, and Xiao Yu'er, with her innate ability to spot rivals, could easily understand the unspoken meaning.

She smiled and casually uttered the lines she had prepared: "I didn't pursue him, it's just that he has good taste."

"Uh...is...is that so?"

Upon hearing this, the receptionist was speechless for a moment.

He turned his head away, refusing to look at Xiao Jiayu, and forced a smile, reluctantly agreeing.

"Well...I really envy your boyfriend, having such an amazing girlfriend like you!"

He could feel the jealous and envious glances secretly cast at him by the beautiful girl in front of him who was much taller and more attractive than him.

Xiao Jiayu's chest rose and fell slightly, and he felt every pore on his body relax, his mind clear, and his spirit refreshed.

[Yes! I, Xiaoyu, am short, but my boyfriend is tall!]

[What's the use of being tall if you're dating? You need to know how to be cuddly and cute! You think you can date a tall, handsome guy if you don't know anything about dating?]

[Hehe~ Little punk girl~]

Xiao Yu'er became more and more smug, feeling incredibly triumphant, and couldn't help but raise one corner of her mouth in a smile.

She suddenly felt she hadn't had enough, so she forced a smile and waited for the girl to take the bait.

The receptionist was unaware of the impending danger. Busy with her work, she heard someone order tea and handed them a cup without even looking up.

"Thanks!"

The boy's voice was clear and magnetic, exuding a maturity beyond his years, but when the girl at the front desk looked up, she saw a face with clear and bright features.

And his eyes... his eyes... were dark and unfathomable, calm as water, like frost on snow, exuding a sense of detachment, and like mottled obsidian, filled with stories.

The receptionist's heart pounded, her ears burned instantly, and a word inexplicably came to mind—depressed, emotional, and intellectually oriented.

Women are always attracted to men who look down on them, and she was no exception.

In that instant, she felt as if those eyes were drawing an invisible force.

One glance was enough to send all the blood rushing to her lower abdomen, her breathing becoming erratic, and a tingling sensation uncontrollably spreading through her legs, leaving her feeling completely disoriented.

She only looked away guiltily after the boy sat back down on the sofa.

[No, why now? Ahhh~ No! No!]

[Make sure to stay dry! We absolutely cannot lose face in front of this little guy!]

The receptionist's heart pounded wildly, and she squeezed her legs together tightly, trying to suppress the urge to go to the restroom right now.

After a long while, she finally managed to recover and looked at Xiao Jiayu, giving a dry laugh.

"Your boyfriend... is really handsome, haha~"

Xiao Yu'er didn't make eye contact with Liang Chao just now, frowning, somewhat dissatisfied with the girl's behavior.

[No, this is my boyfriend! Why are you sticking your legs together like that?! I haven't even...]

Despite her displeasure at the woman flirting with her boyfriend, Xiao Yu'er didn't forget the more important thing: showing off.

"Yeah?"

She tilted her head in surprise, then waved her hand dismissively.

"Just average looks, nothing to mention, nothing to mention!"

Upon hearing this, the receptionist immediately felt uncomfortable.

[Damn it, this hotel system is garbage, it keeps crashing! Refresh it already, and get rid of this little bitch! I can't take it anymore!]

The receptionist had a sullen face and deliberately typed rapidly on the keyboard, pretending to be very busy.

Xiao Yu'er's eyes darted around, and she spoke again.

"Sister, don't just look at his outstanding appearance. This person actually has quite a few minor flaws."

Upon hearing this, the receptionist paused, her fingers pausing.

[I knew it! If there wasn't something wrong with me, why would I have fallen for a shorty like you?]

She still didn't reply, but her expression suddenly improved a lot.

Seeing the girl look up, Xiao Yu'er slowly picked up the water glass in front of her, took a sip, and then lightly covered her lips with her fingertips, saying with a hint of nonchalant helplessness.

"Let's start with the least flattering aspect: height. At only 189cm, even with shoes on, you're barely two meters tall. It's just not good enough for an appearance!"

Two...two meters? The receptionist's lips twitched slightly, but Xiao Jiayu ignored her and continued.

"Furthermore, he has no sense of control when it comes to spending money. His career has only just started to take off, and he already dared to buy a Mercedes! Yesterday was even more outrageous; he bought shares in that Shunrong Shares company, saying he could earn five million next month!"

"I don't really understand either, but investing over four million at once is way too extravagant!"

"What's most infuriating is his stubbornness; he won't listen to any advice. Last night I told him I didn't want it anymore, but he wouldn't listen and made a scene for over three hours. I'm so tired that I still can't muster any energy."

"His strength is useful; he can lift me up with one hand, but it's all brute force. He only knows how to make me suffer for no reason."

"Only his pecs are somewhat presentable; they feel..."

Xiao Yu'er frowned slightly, her slender fingers touching her forehead, pretending to have a headache, when suddenly her "good sister" slammed down the keyboard and screamed.

"Enough!!!"

"Sister, you...you..."

Xiao Yu'er was "startled" and looked on in surprise.

Immediately, a concerned expression appeared on his face.

"Sister! You look terrible, are you not feeling well?"

"N-nothing!" Her best friend lowered her head and mumbled a reply.

[189], [Monthly income of five million], [Pectoral muscles], [Lifted with one hand], [Three hours of tossing and turning]...

She extracted key words from Xiao Yu'er's description.

Her best friend's back teeth were chattering, and almost subconsciously, that clear-eyed face floated into her mind, along with those eyes that made it hard for her to stay dry.

Suddenly, her best friend felt even more upset.

[I also want to be carried around for three hours by a tall, handsome, rich, and strong guy like that!! Waaaaah~]

She was in anguish, but once she realized the hotel system had returned to normal, she immediately looked up and handed over her ID card.

"Guest, please keep your ID card safe. Your deposit will be refunded to your original account!" she said with a forced smile.

"Huh? So fast?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiayu stared blankly for a moment, then took the ID card and smacked his lips with lingering satisfaction.

She's having a great time!

......

"Hehehe~ Liang Chao, didn't you see? That girl... her nose was crooked with anger! Hehehe~"

On the way back to school, Xiao Jiayu laughed so hard he almost fell over, vividly describing how the girl had embarrassed herself, while secretly glancing at the boy next to him.

She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that her boyfriend had suddenly become a little more handsome, making her feel a little... a little want to kiss him.

"Don't do that again. The girl didn't do anything wrong, why are you deliberately trying to upset her?"

Liang Chao drove quietly, listening with a faint smile on his lips. Only after Xiao Jiayu finished laughing did he softly offer a word of advice.

The car was his Mercedes-Benz A108, which the hotel staff helped drive over. They also brought back a regular parking ticket for fifty yuan.

Well, it's more than ten yuan cheaper than parking at the mall! A steal!

"I'm so angry! I'm so angry! It's her fault for always peeking at you!"

Liang Chao was lost in thought when he saw Xiao Jiayu swaying her waist and angrily say something.

"You have no idea how lecherous she is. She always looks at you with such a lecherous gaze. And the moment I left, she rushed to the bathroom. It's obvious she's..."

The girl's voice stopped abruptly. Liang Chao waited for a while, but still didn't hear anything more. He couldn't help but turn his head and ask a question.

"Clearly what?"

When the boy pressed her for details, Xiao Jiayu was immediately embarrassed and quickly turned her head away, avoiding looking at him.

"N-nothing!"

She pretended to look out the window nonchalantly, but her legs unconsciously tightened, and the tips of her ears turned red. She had never understood these things before, but these past two days...

In short, it's all Liang Chao's fault; he led him astray.

In the driver's seat, Liang Chao frowned and looked at Xiao Jiayu suspiciously. Then, as if he had thought of something, his expression suddenly changed.

Seriously? That's intense!

Liang Chao drove with his left hand and reached into his pocket with his right hand to touch the bottle of [Meichao Moisturizing Eye Drops] he had just acquired.

His expression involuntarily turned strange.

"Xiaoyu!"

While waiting at the red light, Liang Chao thought for a moment and decided to verify it. He turned to look at Xiao Jiayu.

The latter turned his head blankly and met Liang Chao's gaze. Seeing that the boy remained silent, he frowned.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing!"

Liang Chao's expression remained unchanged as he withdrew his gaze, but a question arose in his mind: Had it not been triggered?

So, the next red light interval.

"Xiaoyu!"

"Um?"

Liang Chao frowned and continued waiting for the third red light.

"Xiaoyu!!"

"Are you annoying... uh... is there... is there something you need?"

Hearing Xiao Yu'er's suddenly unnatural voice, Liang Chao's eyes lit up. He didn't show anything unusual and deliberately tested the red light time for three more times.

"Xiaoyu!"

"Ugh...you're so annoying!"

This time, the little girl's reaction was much stronger than before; not only did her voice change, but her expression also changed.

"Ahead...ahead, public restroom, please stop." She gripped her knee-length skirt tightly with her small hands, trying her best to appear natural, but her pretty face was flushed red, as if it were about to bleed.

"Huh? Didn't you just use it before leaving?"

Seeing this, Liang Chao raised an eyebrow, cast a "concerned" look at Xiao Jiayu, and after thinking for a moment, said with a serious expression.

"If it's a kidney problem, I suggest... oh dear~"

Before he could finish speaking, he was punched twice, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, just say it, why are you getting so worked up!"

"You're the one with kidney problems! Your whole family has kidney problems!!"

Only after the vehicle stopped and he watched Xiao Yu'er slowly walk into the public restroom did Liang Chao's smile soften, and he took out [Meichao Eye Drops].

Based on his recent experiment, he discovered that the chance of triggering the allure effect was only if he made eye contact with a girl within one minute of applying the product. The probability was approximately one in half, or even higher.

If it takes more than a minute, it may not take effect.

Of course, this is just his guess, since there is too little experimental data.

"One bottle of eye drops contains 10ml. Used 3-5 times a day, it will last about a month..."

Liang Chao stared at the small blue bottle in his hand, his heart pounding. Having witnessed the astonishing effects of the Enchanting Tide Power, he was even more enamored with this thing, thinking to himself, "No wonder it's a product of the system!"

This is still a C-level gift pack, so what about the B-level, A-level... and S-level gift packs...?

'Could it be that the system wasn't just making empty promises when it said I'd become a lord?'

Liang Chao played with the small blue bottle in disbelief for a while, but finally couldn't resist taking out his phone and sending a message to Yang Shuxi.

Chaochao Riri: Sister, tomorrow [grinning face]
