Aren't we friends? Why are you rushing at me?

A moment later, the blush on Liu Ruyan's face finally faded.

She looked at herself carefully in the rearview mirror again, making sure the comical mark had completely disappeared, before slowly turning her head to look at Lin Shi:

"Let's get off the bus."

Because of some shyness, he was even too embarrassed to say "darling" that he had been using all along.

"Um."

Lin Shi turned to look at Liu Ruyan and nodded.

He first helped Liu Ruyan unbuckle her seatbelt with great gentlemanly manners.

As Liu Ruyan watched Lin Shi's actions, her body unconsciously straightened up, wanting to witness the scene that everyone would enjoy after unbuckling their seatbelts.

Unfortunately, Lin Shi's physical abilities were astonishing; he quickly raised his arm and perfectly bypassed her body.

He then quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.

Liu Ruyan glared at his back resentfully, as if to say, "Are you an idiot? You can't even seize such a good opportunity."

She quickly glanced down at her body and found it still very beautiful, without any problems.

She could only console herself: "As expected of the man I like, his self-control is amazing!!!"

After comforting myself, I happily got off the car.

After getting off the bus, Lin Shi began to look at the building in front of him.

A European-style villa, the red bricks on the exterior walls bear the marks of time, but it is clear that it has been well restored.

The house had no signboard, only a few wooden mannequins standing quietly in the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the street, draped with perfectly tailored and designed sample garments.

"This is?"

Lin Shi looked at the building and asked a question with curiosity, already having a vague answer in his mind.

At this moment, Liu Ruyan had completely recovered from the embarrassment. Like a kitten returning home, she ran over to Lin Shi and put her arm around his again.

"This is where I often get my clothes custom-made. Grandpa Cai's aesthetic sense and craftsmanship are top-notch. Let me get you a set too."

Lin Shi listened to Liu Ruyan's explanation, nodded, and looked down at Liu Ruyan's arm that she had put back around him.

I didn't really mind, since I was the one who benefited.

I just feel that Liu's parents are putting too much pressure on their child; he's become so frightened.

As for whether he thinks Liu Ruyan is promiscuous.

Impossible. She's the female lead; how could she possibly have physical contact with outsiders so casually?

This situation is definitely a result of my own "upgrading"!

The two walked towards the villa. Pushing open the heavy oak door, a faint fragrance wafted out.

It's hard to describe exactly what it tastes like; it's somewhat rotten, yet somehow addictive.

The room could be described as cluttered, not in a dirty way, but because of the various inspirational images and fabrics scattered everywhere, making the room look somewhat cramped.

There is also a counter in the room.

Behind the counter, an elderly man with gray hair and a monocle was trimming a piece of silk satin. There was no one else there.

"Grandpa Cai, I'm here."

Liu Ruyan greeted the elderly man at the counter happily, then quickly turned and circled around him:

"Le Xi? I don't see her. Are there any other employees?"

Grandpa Cai looked up at Liu Ruyan, who had a blissful expression on her face.

She sighed quietly, feeling speechless.

"It's all because you kept reminding me this morning that I, an old man, would be all alone watching over the shop this afternoon. Now you're asking me where my granddaughter is. How am I supposed to know?!"

Despite his complaints, Grandpa Cai wore a smile, like a kind elder, and spoke slowly:

"Ah, it's Ruyan."

"Then you've come at the wrong time. Lexi went out to play and couldn't take your body measurements."

As Liu Ruyan listened to Grandpa Cai's explanation, she secretly gave him a thumbs up.

He's clearly a tailor, but his acting is so good; it's a waste of his talent if he doesn't go into film.

Then, continuing in a somewhat surprised tone, he said:

"It's okay, it's okay. I didn't cook it today, my boyfriend did."

As she spoke, she pushed Lin Shi forward with a little force, while simultaneously making exaggerated winks and gestures to Grandpa Cai from behind Lin Shi's blind spot.

Grandpa Cai felt a pang of guilt seeing Liu Ruyan's anxious expression, as if she were a woman who would soon leave home, but he had to grit his teeth and continue acting with a smile:

"Ruyan, it's not that Grandpa doesn't want to help. It's just that this old man's eyesight is failing and his hands are shaking, so I'm afraid I won't be able to measure accurately."

"Huh? What should we do then...?"

The two of them worked together to naturally push the task of "taking measurements" onto Liu Ruyan.

Lin Shi was stunned by what he saw.

He had a gut feeling that this matter had been discussed in advance, and the two people's words sounded like they were reciting a prepared speech.

It's like a camera is hidden in a secluded place, and a movie is being filmed.

But looking at their incredibly sincere expressions, he couldn't see anything wrong with them, so he could only shake his head and forcefully interrupt the idea.

"Darling, come here quickly!"

With a hint of excitement in her eyes, Liu Ruyan pulled Lin Shi toward a fitting table in the corner of the room.

After settling Lin Shi in, he picked up a bright yellow tape measure from the side and stared intently at Lin Shi.

Seeing this, Lin Shi raised his arms, waiting for Liu Ruyan to take the data.

One second, two seconds...

Liu Ruyan made no move.

Lin Shi stood on the fitting table, looking down at Liu Ruyan, wondering what she was waiting for:

"What's wrong?"

Lin Shi tilted his head slightly, revealing a curious expression.

Liu Ruyan blushed slightly, pointed to Lin Shi's clothes, and then lowered her head shyly.

Lin Shi had three question marks above his head, completely baffled by Liu Ruyan's actions.

"What happened to your clothes?"

"hello?"

A wisp of white smoke seemed to rise from Liu Ruyan's head, and then she took a deep breath. She looked up and stared intently at Lin Shi.

"Take off your clothes!"

"ah!!!!"

Lin Shi let out a surprised scream upon hearing Liu Ruyan's actions.

He's worn haute couture before, and he's had his body measured. But this is truly the first time he's encountered something like this.

"Yes!" Liu Ruyan seemed to have made up her mind, completely abandoning her pretense, and directly began to help Lin Shi take off his shirt:

"Quick, let me see!!!"

"Ruyan, no, Ruyan!!!"

Lin Shi tried to pull his clothes down.

What was supposed to be a simple act of measuring body size was turned into something rather "incongruous" by the two of them.

[Liu Ruyan's favorability towards you has increased by 2 point, currently at 40 points. Please continue your efforts, host.]

While struggling, Lin Shi opened the panel to check everyone's favorability rating:

Shen Zhixiao: 56 points of favorability

[Su Ningshuang: 41 points of favorability]

[Liu Ruyan: 40 points of favorability]

[Xia Ye: 40 points of favorability]

[Ye Cheng: 36 points of favorability]

Lin Shi checked Liu Ruyan's favorability rating again to confirm that there were no problems.

but! !! !!

Is this really true?!

Is this the kind of behavior one would expect at 40 affection points?

Is there anything wrong with the system?

For the second time since Lin Shi awakened his memories, he had a slight doubt about the system.

The fact that Shen Zhixiao's favorability rating of 56 was still displayed left him completely baffled.

What on earth happened?!
