The package has assigned me way too many objects. (Author: Shiki Hikari)
In this era, dating and matchmaking partners are allocated by big data, but I just want to be single.
One day, I unexpectedly received a matchmaking message, and the person I was supposed to meet turned out to be my live-in sister?!
"Sis, the blind date assignment says we need to have a couple's date, what should I do?"
"Shall we go to the hotel?" "?"
Wait a minute, why am I on more than one blind date? Is there a bug?
"Son, I recently received a message..."
Chapter 1: An Unexpected Blind Date Message
"The network signal will be blocked next, so please listen carefully to the lecture! This is related to your couple matching this morning! Don't wait until the AI has assigned you a bunch of questions!"
On the stage in the school auditorium, the female dean of students spoke sternly, her tone almost like a warning, even more serious than at the mobilization meeting for the final sprint of exam preparation.
Chu Yinan watched as her phone signal instantly turned into a hopeless "X," sighed, and put her phone away. To kill time, she turned her attention to the large screen above, waiting for the start of the love promotion mobilization meeting.
A meeting to promote dating sounds absurd, but it actually happened. By 2070, the problem of low birth rate was prominent in society, and the population was experiencing severe negative growth. Under this serious situation, a plan to use artificial intelligence to force blind dates was launched ten years ago. Adults who turn 23 will be forcibly matched with blind dates. Whether they will be successful is another matter, but the blind date process is mandatory.
Now, under the new and severe situation, this plan has been issued to students, but it is said that it is currently a "recommendation system" (meaning they can refuse). It is possible that in a few years, students will be forced into a stage of arranged dating.
"But it has nothing to do with me." Chu Yinan muttered under his breath, yawning listlessly.
The reason is simple: he indicated his refusal to match in the matchmaking settings, so no matter how much this plan is implemented, it won't affect his ability to draw cards and get his in-game wife.
He felt deep down that he wasn't suited to dating girls. He wasn't a humorous person, and his personality wasn't particularly good either. He figured that few teenage girls would be interested in his type.
Since I can live a good life on my own, there's no need for me to bother other girls.
Besides, personality aside, there shouldn't be any girl in the world who can accept that her boyfriend can't recognize her face, right?
Chu Yinan's face blindness is so severe that it can be described as a defective condition. He can barely identify people by the contours of their buttocks, but recognizing people by their faces is something he really can't do!
The young men and women around were very enthusiastic about this plan. The AI would recommend people based on their preferences and other factors, in other words, it would pick the person who was theoretically the most suitable for you at this stage. No one didn't dream of matching with their dream man (woman).
"I've attended every concert of my idol, Shin Goda, and my cloud drive is full of his photos. There probably isn't anyone more suitable for me than him, right? I wonder if I'll receive a blind date invitation from my idol at noon!" The girl next to me was already swooning over her idol. The lack of internet signal didn't stop her from browsing her idol's photos on her phone.
"Damn it! Why did my favorite female character's voice actress get married last month?! Can the AI force me to be matched with someone else's wife?!" A male comrade clenched his fists, filled with grief and indignation. "I spent so much money on her, and I never thought I'd be matched with a NTR character!"
Matching you with someone else's wife? Are you going to just set up a married woman with you on a blind date? You're really dreaming.
"AI is said to recommend the most suitable girl for me in theory, but AI can't break the law. I like romantic and innocent girls. Do these older women really have that quality?"
If you like lolis, just say so. The AI won't mind sending you in for electrotherapy!
"Are there really girls in this world who can turn into Kamen Rider? Otherwise, who would the AI match me with?"
In the past, quiet was the first rule for meetings in the auditorium, but now the school has become more lenient in its management of students' discussions, hoping that they will pay more attention to this matter. These discussions, filled with anticipation, also led Chu Yinan's thoughts to discuss this topic.
Chu Yinan has severe face blindness, so he can only imagine based on body shape. However, his requirements cannot be too demanding. Slightly chubby is fine, and he can make do with a big-breasted, big-butt, and long-legged older sister. If all else fails, he won't be too picky if she has a nice butt!
After all, someone with a nice butt can't be a bad person!

Evening, around dinnertime.
The conversation at the dinner table naturally revolved around the couple matching event that took place during the day. After all, this was the first time the couple matching program had been implemented among students, and the elders at home were naturally concerned about the two children's situation.
"Chu Nan, I've seen the news, you two were matched as a couple today, right? Who will you be assigned the Qilin?" the woman asked with a smile and curiosity.
Qilin is the name of a certain AI. Many artificial islands have their own AI, and most people just call them by their own names for convenience. However, many people also prefer to call the AIs by their own names.
Chu Yinan, who was shoveling rice into his mouth, put down his chopsticks and said very seriously:
"Aunt Liu, please stop calling me Chu Nan like Yu Tang does. It sounds weird!"
Chu Nan, Chu Nan, he's become a virgin after all this calling him. Even if he does have that identity, there's no need to emphasize it like this, right?
The woman Chu Yinan called "Aunt Liu" was named Yan Liu. She was a young woman in her prime, with fair skin and a beautiful face that rivaled that of a young girl. She had a full and well-proportioned figure and was a very mature and beautiful woman. She was also one of the few people Chu Yinan could recognize by her face.
After all these years of fostering, it would be too much to not recognize the other person. Although Aunt Liu is like a mother to Chu Yinan, it is a great pity that Chu Yinan is just a child who has been fostered in her home since he was six years old. However, they do not become estranged because of this relationship. Yan Liu treats Chu Yinan as her own son.
"Two words sound better, and Chu Yi or Yi Nan sound weird. Chu Nan sounds much better. Also, don't change the subject. Tell me honestly who you were matched with?" Aunt Liu's gossip was burning brightly, her bright and gentle eyes expectantly waiting for something.
"I didn't get matched with anyone because I filled in 'no match intention' in the 'willingness' section, so today's event is irrelevant to me, and this topic ends here... Aunt Liu, your phone just 'dinged', was it an AI message? Do you want me to get it for you?"
Fearing she wouldn't believe him, Chu Yinan took out his phone, opened the Citizen's Personal Service APP, and showed Aunt Liu all the AI text messages from the day.
Aunt Liu stared at him intently, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her heart; the child had indeed refused.
"I'll check my phone later; it'll probably be a notice about tax adjustments or something. By the way, where's Yutang?"
The woman's curiosity still held a sliver of hope, which lay in her daughter Yutang's side. Although she had previously said she would fill out the form to refuse, who knows, her youthful excitement might have stirred, and she might have changed her mind and accepted the match?
Yu Tang, a young woman, had long, silky hair that reached her shoulders. Her features were striking, and a beauty mark at the corner of her eye added a touch of allure. Her figure was as voluptuous as her mother's, and she consistently ranked among the top in the school's rankings of both looks and physique by the boys. Her demeanor perfectly matched the image of the ideal senior student. She was a year ahead of Chu Yinan, but they rarely interacted on campus because their floors were quite far apart. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary trouble, her close relationship with Chu Yinan was largely unknown within the school.
"No." The girl answered decisively. "That kind of thing wastes my personal time. It's called a couple matching, but it's actually just forced blind dates. The dates in between might be mandatory and just add to my troubles. I'd rather spend that time taking a walk around the neighborhood with Chu Nan after dinner in the evening."
"...I was the one who accompanied you on the walk, so why are you looking at me with such disdain? And don't make it sound like you're walking a dog!"
Chu Yinan slapped her thigh angrily and stood up. Yu Tang glanced at her, then pretended nothing had happened and picked up the kettle to pour her a glass of water.
Tsk! It was just that when he was helping to collect the laundry, Aunt Liu's underwear accidentally fell down and happened to land on his head. Yu Tang happened to see it and misunderstood that he was doing something strange with his family's clothes.
Is this even possible?! I've explained it so many times, and you still don't believe me!
However, the fact that his kind older sister didn't tell Aunt Liu was already the greatest understanding Chu Nan could show, for which Chu Nan was extremely grateful. Even if it was an accident, it couldn't tarnish his image as a moral exemplar in his family's eyes!
"Ugh, how boring. I was looking forward to seeing you two on your dates. After the honeymoon phase, there's always the possibility of heartbreak. As an observer, it would be an interesting experience no matter how you look at it. Don't either of you have anyone you like?" Mrs. Yan sighed in disappointment.
Chu Yinan and Bei Yutang's answers were very synchronized this time, almost at the same time.
"Yes, it's being prepared on the phone." "Yes, it might appear in the future."
Chu Yinan was talking about the upcoming mobile game gacha pool; he had already saved up his money and was just waiting for the update. Bei Yutang, on the other hand, seemed to be talking about someone, but who knows what the future holds? It was just a perfunctory remark.
"But I saw my best friend's child is paired with her childhood sweetheart. I just saw her this morning and she was so happy about it. Why don't you two try going on a date and take a picture for me to use when I chat with my best friend?"
"No, I want to exercise." "No, I want to read my manuscript."
Under the table, Bei Yutang's delicate jade feet, encased in black stockings, gently stepped on Chu Yinan's instep.
“I understand that Xiao Chunan admires me a lot, but don’t imitate my way of speaking.”
"No way!" Chu Yinan wanted to retort, but seeing the older woman smiling and resting her chin on her hand, he shuddered and quickly changed his tune: "I... I didn't admire you that obviously, hahaha..."
Seeing Xiao Chu Nan's reaction, Bei Yu Tang nodded in satisfaction, a smug smile playing on her lips.
This doesn't mean the two have a bad relationship; in fact, they're quite close. They still sleep in the same room in bunk beds, so it would be strange if their relationship were bad. Such bickering happens from time to time, but most of the time it's just Bei Yutang teasing her little brother.
Moreover, Chu Yinan does possess a certain quality that makes people want to bully him; many of the aunties who visit his home have had similar thoughts.
Suddenly, Chu Yinan and Bei Yutang's phones both pinged at the same time; it was a personalized notification sound from an AI-generated text message.
"Could it be information about couple matching?" Aunt Liu became expectant again. "The first batch started after your meeting, right? We'll be receiving messages throughout the day."
"No, Aunt Liu, I just showed you everything. I clearly stated my refusal." Chu Yinan really wanted Aunt Liu to give up, but at this moment, the "ding" made him curious about what kind of notification it was.
He picked up his phone, opened the personal service terminal app, and the latest news headline prominently displayed:
Please confirm your partner matching information.
"?!"
Am I seeing things? What is this?
But the words on it were so clear that Chu Yinan couldn't help but believe that AI wouldn't play pranks or jokes, at least not the AI personality "Qilin" that had been assigned to Fengshui Island.
Seeing his subtle surprise, Bei Yutang said with interest:
"Could it be that I just used a picture to fool my mom, actually filled in 'willing to match,' and then just received a message saying we were matched? Judging from her expression, she probably got a very unexpected match?"
Chu Yinan originally intended to ask about the reason for this strange incident, but he felt that if he did, his dear sister would probably tease him for days.
This is inappropriate!
He calmed his expression and tried to remain natural:
"No, that's not true. The satisfaction rate of AI-matched partners is low, and while it can't satisfy everyone, it's still acceptable. It's not like I'm the only 'unexpected match'. The message I just received said that my number was registered in another location, and they're confirming if it's me. I'll send a message to check what's going on. I guess it's been misused."
It would be best to deal with Chu Yinan's situation as soon as possible. Yan Liu didn't say much, but then she remembered that she had just received a message from the AI. She got up to check, just in case it was a large-scale phone number theft incident.
"Strange, why isn't the object information showing up? It must be a bug. I wonder if there will be any compensation." Chu Yinan thought to himself as he uploaded the message to the appeal channel and waited for a response.
Under normal circumstances, his situation would be basically resolved. This is 100% a processing bug in the AI. If it weren't, he would eat the monitor on the spot.
Fortunately, Yu Tang didn't see this bug, otherwise she would have had a handle on him and played with him for quite a while. Thinking about the message notification sound on her phone earlier, Chu Yinan said cheekily:
"Yutang, you just received the message, right? You didn't say you didn't need it, but actually secretly activated the wish, did you?"
Oh.
Bei Yutang smiled without saying a word. She knew what kind of information she had received; it was mostly about tax payments, and it had been sent over the past few days.
Fine, I'll just show him the information and slap him in the face.
The girl picked up her phone, opened the personal service terminal app, and the smile on her face gradually froze.
"...?"

P.S.: The male lead is initially a cute, innocent-looking boy, but he later transforms into a normal man. The female lead is primarily an older sister figure.
Chapter 001: It turns out they were all mistakes made in my youth.
Humanity once believed that its technological advancements had enabled it to conquer natural disasters, but nature mercilessly defecated in the face of scientists and scholars, and then reached out to ask them for toilet paper.
Following a series of events including tsunamis, rising sea levels, invasive species disrupting the food chain, widespread infectious diseases, wealth inequality, and rising living costs, the human population has drastically decreased.
A sharp decline in population is not the worst thing; a low-desire society in the post-technological era is the real problem.
By 2099, the low birth rate and gender imbalance have made the survival of the race precarious, but since humans do not take this seriously, AI has to do the job.
