"That's really tragic." Lianxiu patted his shoulder to comfort him. "But what's the deal with that white-haired maid? She seems gentle and intelligent to me, not like a harsh and domineering maid!"

Pure...exquisitely intelligent...

Chu Yinan thought that when she got back, she could pass on the praise to Chun, who would probably be very happy.

"That one is new. She hasn't picked up the bad temper of the nobles yet, which is good. But she only treats me with the usual attitude of taking care of customers, not even as enthusiastic as the maids in the maid shop. For someone like me who has been to small towns, this new maid is not very attentive in her work. She is so careless that she might bump into you while cleaning."

If Aunt Morgan finds out I've been smearing the Leffe family like this, she'll probably make things difficult for me...

"Well, let's not talk about it anymore." Lianxiu didn't want to bring up his sad experiences during the holiday. It was already a miracle that he could pull Song Maren aside even though he was injured. "How is Martin doing now?"

"Hehe, I found another one," Martin said smugly, but this smugness no longer had the heartfelt joy of the last time.

Chu Yinan remembered that Martin had just broken up with his girlfriend, and at the time he looked melancholy and said that he would never love again.

As a result, less than half a month later, a new match was immediately made.

"Who is it?" Chu Yinan was a little envious; it was the bittersweet feeling of youthful romance.

Martin seemed to have completely moved on from the breakup, chuckling as he said:

"She's from outside the island, an art student, and a singer. I've met her in person; she's a very cute girl."

"Outside the island? Outside the artificial island, or outside the twin islands?" Lianxiu pressed for confirmation.

Twin Islands is one of the artificial islands in the system, which also includes islands such as Lucis Island, Hengbing Island, and Yonghuo Island.

Normally, the matching system only governs the members of the artificial island system. However, some time ago, a small, high-latitude, icy country near the twin islands applied for the matching system's help, saying that its population could not withstand the strain.

Chu Yinan guessed that Martin was probably among the first to be matched with girls from outside the island.

"Is it the neighboring port of Visbel?" Chu Yinan recalled that he vaguely remembered hearing about it.

However, the inclusion of Visbel did not affect him, because when he was messing around with gacha pulls back then, Visbel Port was not part of the artificial island system, so he couldn't pull there.

"Yes, the younger sister with long hair."

Martin started talking about his new sister all the time, seemingly in the "blinded" stage of being deeply in love.

Lianxiu, recalling his recent experiences, poured cold water on Martin's enthusiasm: "I might be being a bit offensive. But, some music students are very artistic and emotional, and sometimes you might not be able to keep up with them... Ah, I'm rambling a bit."

"What happened on your end?" Martin sensed something; Lianxiu's current state was somewhat similar to when he had just broken up with his girlfriend a while ago.

"We broke up, there's nothing to blame, we just couldn't get along in terms of lifestyle."

At first, we felt a strong connection; our rhythm in bed was perfect. However, I later discovered she frequented places I disliked, places I couldn't accept. Overall, it was a pretty good relationship. A week after our 'first meeting' mission, I used up a whole box of Teacher Du's Ultra Thin products.

Chu Yinan thought to himself that he had quite a few breakups, and he knew of at least four people who had ended up in jail, forced to break up, or had their blind dates terminated.

However, relationships are really unpredictable. At the time, I thought I had found true love during the long weekend, but we broke up as soon as I turned around.

......

The first class of the week after school resumed was naturally Ms. Iori's class meeting.

Risa Iori, dressed in black stockings and a teacher's uniform, routinely summarized the students' reports during their internships and then began to discuss the subsequent teaching arrangements.

"Regarding academic matters, your course load will double this week, and your dismissal time will be delayed until 5:30 pm. Remember to talk to your parents about it when you get home."

Before Ms. Iori could even finish speaking, there were already objections from the audience:

"Why? That means we can't play football!"

"Because we will be having a week-long training camp next Tuesday, but the location for this year has not been decided yet. It will most likely be with students from Port Visbel, so we may have to travel off the island together. Please prepare warm clothes."

Chu Yinan came to my office during her lunch break. "You haven't submitted your internship report. Explain it properly."

Chapter 2 Making a Living

People around Chu Yinan cast sympathetic glances at him, but Chu Yinan himself felt that he didn't need such sympathy, and that there shouldn't be any major problems.

At least there won't be any punishment, but what's with this internship report?

Chu Yinan whispered to the classmate next to her, "How come I haven't heard about the internship report? I shouldn't have missed any messages in the class group chat."

The girl next to me reminded me: "This type of assignment is usually sent to the email address of the relevant person in charge at the company. Then the person in charge fills in some of your progress evaluations, and you fill in a self-summary yourself."

So that's how it is. Chu Yinan understands now. She was having a great time on Glory Island the past few days. When Chu Yinan filled in the person in charge, she directly used Aunt Liu's email address. Aunt Liu probably forgot to check her email.

Oh dear, this is truly an unexpected disaster.

Throughout the morning, Chu Yinan spent his time urging Aunt Liu to send him the forms to fill out, pondering his current blind date tasks, and only occasionally taking a break to listen to a lecture.

The refresh time for this task is obviously not fixed. Currently, the one with the fastest frequency is Miss Chanel, who first sends "Nice to meet you" in the middle of the night, and then immediately goes to the opera house.

But the older sister still completed the most tasks.

Based on the general refresh pattern, Jiang Xuanya's task should be available soon.

Chu Yinan had previously explored the task refresh mechanism, which was indeed related to what he had been doing recently; it was basically about using a mystical method to refresh tasks.

He should have Jiang Xuanya do some specific activities during this time, even if it's just cooking more desserts.

Chu Yinan is watching some cooking videos featuring beautiful women, and maybe he'll get a task to help with tasting them, which would be perfect!

With that in mind, he secretly opened the app and started playing his old collection of older sister cooking videos on a loop.

......

When it was lunchtime, Chu Yinan wanted to go to the office first, and then use the excuse of "I haven't eaten yet, I'll leave first" to slip away.

However, it wouldn't be good if Iori-sensei asked him to have dinner with her.

"It would be better to eat first and then come over."

Normally he would quicken his pace to get to the canteen earlier to avoid queuing, but today he strolled leisurely.

My sister just sent me a message on my phone:

[Beijing Language and Culture University Student Tang: Wait for me on the first floor of the cafeteria.]

See, that's foresight. If we had gone to the office, we would have had to spend time explaining to Yutang afterwards.

Chu Yinan stood at the door for five or six minutes before her older sister, dressed in a school uniform and black stockings, appeared, accompanied by Jiang Xuanya, her classmate.

Jiang Xuanya's outfit was no different from before. Underneath the similar school uniform skirt were a pair of legs that could be described as template-level girl group legs. The skin was healthy and fair, and the legs were plump, firm, and full of beauty as she walked.

Other girls may have similar leg shapes, but few are as toned as Jiang Xuanya's. Even athletic girls with toned legs lack her plump, fleshy look.

After exchanging polite greetings, Chu Yinan asked, "Yutang, why are you walking with Sister Xuanya?"

Bei Yutang looked displeased and clearly didn't give Jiang Xuanya a friendly look:

"This guy just keeps following me around. Stop eyeing other people's little brothers, okay? If you need anything, Auntie will go and help out!"

Bei Yutang was just texting when Jiang Xuanya accidentally saw her. Jiang Xuanya, who originally planned to eat her own food, took Bei Yutang as a "Chu Yinan locator" and changed her mind, saying she would eat in the cafeteria, and followed her all the way.

Jiang Xuanya didn't care about Bei Yutang's attitude at all. She used to avoid Bei Yutang to avoid being rejected, but now she didn't care anymore; she was only after her brother anyway. She shrugged innocently.

"The food I cooked was prepared by my mom last night. I mentioned last time that I was tired of some of the dishes, but she forgot. I just happened to come to the cafeteria and ran into Xiao Chunan. How could you say I came with you? That's way too self-important!"

Bei Yutang had no choice but to treat Jiang Xuanya's shamelessness like an annoying fly, and then took Chu Yinan's hand and walked into the canteen.

Where should we eat?

Bei Yutang isn't picky about food, as long as it's not the kind of cuisine that uses masala spices all the time.

However, this choice was also difficult for Chu Yinan. He didn't care when he was eating alone, but when he had to consider what his sister would eat, he found it difficult to make a choice.

I looked around the first floor, but there wasn't a restaurant I wanted to eat at.

The shop that was swindled by idol fans in the previous "corpse-throwing case" has closed down. The closed door is marked with the word "For Sale" and contact information.

"I really liked that butcher shop, but alas, it's closed down." Chu Yinan sighed and led her sister upstairs.

Jiang Xuanya occasionally ate at the cafeteria. She remembered what had happened at that restaurant and sighed:

"Indeed, I ate at that restaurant once. Although I didn't really like their meat—it was overcooked—the sauce was still pretty good. After what happened, closing down the restaurant is actually a form of protection for the owner. How about we go to the third floor? There's a new shrimp dumpling noodle shop there; I've heard it's quite good."

Chu Yinan was quite happy to receive a recommendation, but since the person making the suggestion was Jiang Xuanya, Chu Yinan had to consider a certain petty, chubby older sister in black stockings who loved to torment her younger brother.

He didn't ask any questions, but gave her a questioning look.

Bei Yutang didn't want to pick a fight with Jiang Xuanya during mealtime; temper can affect appetite, so she simply nodded.

"It's all right."

It has to be said that some businesses really don't know how to do business, especially in an environment like a school. The slow service at this noodle shop is truly torturous.

Based on this business philosophy, it probably won't last long.

Chu Yinan was furious and silently added another reason for going to the teacher's office late—"The food was served too slowly."

"Yutang, have you talked about the joint training camp? It's an activity that only happens in the second year of high school, right? What are we going to do?" He tried to break the silence at the dinner table.

"As I said, it only happens in the second and third years of high school. It's basically like going out together on public funds to play and take pictures or something."

Jiang Xuanya looked at her eyebrows in a small makeup mirror. Seeing how brief Bei Yutang's explanation was, she added:

"Last year we went on a picnic on Lucis Island, right? It wasn't fun; we spent ages grilling meat and there wasn't enough to go around. I heard this year we're going on a camp trip to neighboring Port Visbel, with local students. Would you call that some kind of social event?"

"Indeed, I heard from my classmates that Port Visbel recently joined the matchmaking system, and now the group tour has been linked to it. Maybe it's a way for us to get to know each other."

Chapter 3: Why are there only two people left in the office?

In this weather, a bowl of hot noodles is just right.

It's hot, but not unbearably hot.

It is said that many years ago, the four seasons changed regularly, but now there are basically only summer and winter, with an occasional cold wave or seasonal warm current passing through for one or two weeks, which is considered spring and autumn.

There was a cold snap these past two days, but it wasn't very cold. At most, I would sneeze a couple more times in the morning, and it wasn't so hot that I would be sweating profusely at noon.

Bei Yutang ate little. After finishing the chewy and delicious shrimp dumplings, she didn't have much of an appetite for the remaining noodles, and she ate them one by one.

But this is where the younger brother comes in handy, and it also lets some nosy classmate see how Chu Yinan uses it.

"Chu Nan, come here."

Bei Yutang patted her thigh, sat back a little, and made room for Chu Yinan.

Chu Yinan's lips twitched. This was in the cafeteria, and so many people were watching... If he sat down there, he would inevitably face another round of questions from his classmates when he returned to the classroom in the afternoon.

He had just finished explaining the situation at Glory Island.
