What reminded Chu Yinan of him even more was the scent of Lemon Love perfume. To be honest, this perfume's sales were really quite average; it belonged to a niche market, so niche that no other brands even followed suit and released similar perfumes.

At the time, Chu Yinan smelled this scent on the man who was related to Teacher Yizhi. Now that he thinks about it, the perfume on him might have come from Senior Jiang Xuanya.

"Is this person really Xuan Ya's chosen 'fiancé'?"

He had barely finished confirming when Jiang Xuanya pinched his cheek. She emphasized again, clearly displeased, "He's not my fiancé, just a lackey sent by my father, understand?"

Chu Yinan, whose face was being pinched, had no choice but to nod in agreement. Jiang Xuanya then let go and gently massaged the spot she had just pinched, while asking curiously, "Why do you seem so interested in him? Do you know him?"

"Maybe I've mistaken him for someone else. I think I've seen this man with this hairstyle before. Is he wearing an engagement ring?" Chu Yinan wasn't quite sure, or rather, she didn't want to be sure.

If he hasn't mistaken her for someone else, then Jiang Xuanya's fiancé is quite something. He's trying to have his cake and eat it too, flirting with both the female teacher and one of the most popular girls in the senior class.

Jiang Xuanya was a little concerned about his attitude and nodded, saying, "Yes, it was a new ring that my father introduced to me when he was negotiating with someone. He just bought it for me and him as an engagement ring without asking me to. Even though we didn't have a formal engagement ceremony, that guy has been shamelessly wearing it ever since."

Incidentally, Jiang Xuanya also received another pair of rings, but they've been gathering dust in a drawer and haven't been taken out yet.

Chu Yinan had a selfish thought. If he continued to investigate this matter now, his own matchmaking quota would be affected. He decided to inform Jiang Xuanya after he had a definite result. As a necessary reminder, he still mentioned it.

“I’ve seen people dressed similarly get close to other women before, so I’m quite concerned about this, but I can’t remember what they look like.”

"I see..." Jiang Xuanya decided to keep this matter in mind for the time being.

If Kim Geun-joon really has that kind of "resume," then Kang Seon-ah should have a serious talk with her father and make sure this person disappears from her sight completely.

......

Upon arriving at the barbecue restaurant, Chu Yinan and Jiang Xuanya found a seat away from the window and entrance.

Chu Yinan chose this location. Hengbing Plaza is not an obscure shopping spot. If he had chosen a spot near the glass, he might have been seen by classmates, which would have caused trouble for him.

At this time of day, his explanation at home would normally be that he was "receiving treatment at Turing Tower," so if he were discovered to be dating his senior, that would be troublesome!

Jiang Xuanya glanced at the matchmaking system, and to her utter dismay, the error page related to Chu Yinan was still inaccessible! She could only access that bastard Jin Genjun's matchmaking page.

"Huh??? Why does this show that my first date with Kim Geun-joon is in progress?"

"Huh? Is that so?" Chu Yinan thought of the crosstalk during the phone call. "Could it be that my data clashed with Mr. Kim Geun-joon's?"

"Maybe, but that also means the AI ​​did match you and me together." Jiang Xuanya wasn't particularly interested in electronic things, and her phone was just a tool for sending and receiving messages. She put her phone aside and ignored it, picking up the menu to order: "Xiao Chunan likes lemons, right? This place has a flavor that uses lemon juice to cut through the greasiness of the grilled meat, so let's order that. What would you like to drink, beer or a carbonated beverage?"

Sugar-free iced black coffee!

"???"

What a bizarre flavor! But realizing that Chu Yinan was serious, Jiang Xuanya still ordered one for him and one for herself as well, to see if this was a unique combination with lemon roast.

Chu Yinan tried to open Jiang Xuanya's matchmaking interface. Thanks to Chang Xi's adjustments, Jiang Xuanya and the "Good Girl" were now on separate channels, so there was no need to worry about them mixing up when calling. However, Chu Yinan discovered that Jiang Xuanya's matchmaking progress hadn't changed, while the "Good Girl's" task indicators were still active!

Does this mean that by dating Jiang Xuanya, one can complete the "good girl" part and skip contact with that suspicious girl?

That's great news!

"How's the progress going?" Jiang Xuanya asked curiously when she saw him looking at the progress so happily.

There's a slight display error, but it's in progress!

Because of this little surprise, Chu Yinan ate with extra gusto after the barbecue was served. He took a bite of lemon-flavored barbecue and a sip of extra-strong, bitter black coffee. His taste buds were screaming, but he was enjoying it immensely!

Seeing how much Chu Yinan was enjoying his meal, Jiang Xuanya couldn't help but try it herself. She almost threw up – she didn't dislike black coffee, but she found it hard to accept drinking it like this during a meal.

"Did you dip your grilled meat in some special sauce?"

"No, I'm just used to it."

Chu Yinan grabbed a piece of grilled meat and handed it to her to try, to prove that he hadn't added any ingredients. Jiang Xuanya looked at his greasy little hands, his fingers and the backs of his hands had the delicate whiteness of a child, he didn't look like a "boy who wouldn't grow tall", but rather "just a little boy", which was exceptionally cute.

Despite his appearance, his biological age is legal, and doing anything slightly out of line to him wouldn't break the law in some subtle ways. He's really a perfect boy!

Jiang Xuanya grabbed his wrist and "bite" his small hand as well, startling his slender fingers, which twitched wildly in her mouth.

"Sister Xuanya, what are you doing!"

"Are you hungry?" Jiang Xuanya was very pleased with his reaction. "It's okay to stay out tonight, right? How about we stay at my place for the night? If that's not convenient, we can get a room at a hotel."

Which of these two options is more convenient for you?

......

Kim Geun-joon was working overtime at the company, reporting on his work via video conference with Vice President Kang, the refreshing green tea brewing in his teacup wafting its fragrance.

During a break, he noticed a notification from the AI ​​personal service app on his phone.

[Your first date with Jiang Xuanya is underway; you are 0 meters away.]

He frowned in confusion: "What is this? I was in a meeting, how come it's telling me I'm on a date?"

It must be a temporary bug in the AI ​​system. It says the distance is 0m, which is obviously impossible. No matter where Jiang Xuanya eats, she wouldn't be at the company at this time.

After a while, the distance became "20cm", and then it became "-4cm". Can distance be negative?!

Kim Geun-joon took a sip of green tea, thinking to himself that AI is indeed not perfect and will still have malfunctions.

Chapter 49 KTV

This barbecue restaurant is really good, especially for Chu Yinan. In addition to the lemon juice grilling, the restaurant also provides lemon juice spray for customers to add lemon flavor according to their personal preferences.

Chu Yinan wasn't used to this spray, so he simply unscrewed the nozzle and poured the lemon juice into a bowl. Then, when eating grilled meat, he would rinse the meat in the lemon water.

Swallow a few pieces of "highly acidic" roasted meat, then pair it with a cup of bitter black coffee to relieve the sourness in your teeth—it's incredibly satisfying.

Although Jiang Xuanya had already been tricked once, seeing how much he enjoyed eating, she couldn't resist trying his "strong acid" method again and rinsed the grilled meat with lemon water.

The result was similar; she had to re-examine the little guy's eating habits and was somewhat worried that he might have developed such a peculiar habit due to dietary abuse at home.

"Do you eat like this at home? Did your family force you to eat lemons?" Jiang Xuanya asked seriously, very worried.

"No, it's just that my taste buds are a bit dull. I can only taste the rich flavors when eating lemons and drinking coffee. My family usually doesn't let me eat too much of those."

Chu Yinan picked up a grease-removing napkin to wipe his fingers and prepared to take out his phone to pay the bill, but Jiang Xuanya paid first.

"Asking you to treat me is a joke. I wouldn't go so far as to ask a junior from my junior school to treat me."

Because he didn't want to be treated like a child all the time, Chu Yinan was very particular about these things, especially when it came to money, and didn't want to take advantage of anyone.

"But I invited you out for dinner, Sister Xuanya, and it was to help me with something. It would be so embarrassing to have you pay the bill! I'll give you the money back."

"It's okay. In a way, asking me out has freed me from that annoying guy and made things much easier. Besides, the matching system paired us up, it's not your fault, it's a matter between the two of us, so I don't mind paying."

I'm sorry, the matchmaking system issue was indeed my fault...

However, this fact could not be explained no matter what, so Chu Yinan could only swallow the words that were on his throat.

Jiang Xuanya checked the time and found it was still quite early; including the time for waiting for the food, it hadn't even been an hour. She thought to herself that she was probably too busy watching Chu Yinan eat. She had to admit that the little guy had quite a large appetite; he was so small, yet he ate a lot.

It's still early, and it would be a shame to end things like this. Let's find somewhere to kill some time.

Chu Yinan was still thinking about what Senior Jiang Xuanya had just said, and asked, "Is that 'annoying ghost' that Sister Xuanya mentioned still bothering you at home?"

"No, you can chase him away, but this guy is shameless. Even if the topic he comes up with is awkward, he will still come and bother you. If the topic he comes up with is interesting, that would be fine, but the problem is that it is too perfunctory. It is as if he just came up with a topic from an old man on the street to have an excuse to come to your door!"

"Then Xuan Ya's mother eats alone?"

"Yeah, so when I get back later I'll have to buy some pastries or something to eat with my mom, to make up for missing dinner. Next time, Xiao Chunan can just come to my house for dinner, my mom will like you too~"

After saying that, she led Chu Yinan to the bathroom door to wash his hands, preparing to end their dinner date.

After washing his hands, Chu Yinan was delighted to see the notification that the first date was complete. He was thinking about returning to Turing Tower to rest, but Jiang Xuanya held his hand and showed no intention of saying goodbye.

"Where is Sister Xuanya going?"

"It's still early, isn't it? Why don't you do another mission?" The senior's voice was seductive, as if she were tempting a child.

Chu Yinan reserved his opinion for the time being, but there was one thing he needed to confirm: "How did Sister Xuanya know what the next task was?"

Although the blind date progress was inexplicably synchronized to the "Good Girl" interface on Chu Yinan's side, it was shown as "not started" in the next task, which was quite strange.

"I can see it here. The next date location is a karaoke bar." Jiang Xuanya brought up the dating interface that belonged to her and Jin Genjun.

Chu Yinan held her phone and checked it again, finding that the task had indeed been activated.

The AI ​​will set tasks that are similar to the interests of both parties involved. In other words, Jiang Xuanya likes to sing?

Chu Yinan hesitated between going back to Turing Tower to slack off and continuing to do dating tasks. In the end, he decided that it was better to honestly do the dating tasks. However, since they had already met for the first time, he should be able to try to undo the task, right?

"Alright then, but Sister Xuanya, do you want to see if you can end the relationship now? Logically speaking, after the first meeting, you have the right to 'break up if you feel it's not right'. Maybe you can end your blind date with Mr. Kim Geun-joon?"

Jiang Xuanya thought this made sense! But... if it's deactivated, wouldn't we be unable to call the little guy out to play anymore? She'd better go back and observe the system further.

"Okay, let's go back and see. If we cancel abruptly, my father will start nagging. Come with me to the karaoke bar for two hours first."

Chu Yinan had little choice but to be dragged by Jiang Xuanya to the nearest karaoke bar.

"Hello, miss, how can I help you?" the receptionist asked.

Jiang Xuanya had glanced at the introduction on her way here and had already decided on the private room in advance:

"The smaller private rooms away from the dance floor should be quieter, right? Let's order a three-hour drink package for a small gathering."

The drinks at KTVs are all about price; even a bottle of water is priced five or six times higher than outside. Jiang Xuanya has a lot of money in her own savings, but she can't afford to order the top-tier drink packages, not to mention she can't drink that much anyway.

Chu Yinan had only been to KTV a handful of times, and his subjective impression was that it wasn't a very respectable place. The corridors were dimly lit, the lights were colorful, and there were always KTV hostesses or other female escorts walking around.

Looking around, I saw the princesses who came out of the dance floor to change shifts. They were all dressed very scantily, with skirts so short that they almost exposed half of their buttocks, and their underwear seemed to be disposable.

However, business negotiations inevitably involve some suggestive and suggestive activities with clients, and this trend is difficult to control. The smell of alcohol and perfume, along with the colorful lights, created an ambiguous atmosphere, making Chu Yinan feel strange about being in such a place with Jiang Xuanya.

So, is the task of going to the KTV for a date Kang Seon-ah's hobby or Kim Geun-joon's?

Nearby, the KTV manager was patrolling the area when he suddenly saw Vice President Jiang's daughter and looked puzzled.

Isn't this what Mr. Jin is pursuing? Why is he singing karaoke with a little kid?

He moved aside and dialed Kim Geun-joon's number.

Chapter 50 So Green It Makes You Panic

After finishing his work report to President Kang, Kim Geun-joon closed his work laptop and took out his personal laptop from the drawer. This laptop was also customized with a fingerprint lock that would automatically format the contents if the fingerprint was not used to unlock it.

The document contains an analysis of a scheme purchased at great expense, which elaborates in detail on the feasibility of using the cultural industry to win over the loyal support of young people in today's increasingly spiritually empty social environment, and then using that support to boost the economy.
