I started as a spirited young man, and the system made me a male god.

Shen Shaoting snuggled against Chen Fei, gave a soft "Mmm," and didn't ask any more questions, but just hugged him tighter.

The hug lasted longer than usual.

Only when Chen Fei felt that the two girls in his arms had completely relaxed did he gently loosen his arms and lower his head to place a kiss on each of their foreheads.

"It's getting late, go wash up and get some rest," Chen Fei said with a smile.

Shen Shaoting looked up, suddenly grinned, revealing a small canine tooth: "So, how are we going to sleep tonight?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jingyi's ears turned even redder, and she gently pinched Shen Shaoting's waist.

Chen Fei chuckled and ruffled Shen Shaoting's hair: "Your foot doesn't hurt anymore? You still have the mind to think about this. Go back to your rooms and get some sleep. We have to get up early to leave tomorrow."

"Going out? Where to?" Shen Shaoting's attention was immediately diverted.

"I'm going to see my grandma," Chen Fei said, his gaze softening. "My grandma lives in the mountains in the suburbs, it's a bit far, so we need to leave early."

"Oh right!" Shen Shaoting remembered and nodded immediately. "We're going to see Grandma! We need to bring a gift! Fei-ge, what should we buy for her tomorrow?"

"She doesn't have any particular favorites; she's happiest when people visit," Chen Fei smiled. "Bring something practical, like milk, fruit, or soft pastries."

"Understood!" Shen Shaoting immediately got into the zone and started planning what to buy, while Lin Jingyi also took notes.

The three chatted briefly about tomorrow's plans before washing up.

The door to the master bedroom was closed, and the door to the second bedroom was also closed.

Shen Shaoting fell asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow; the fatigue from filming during the day made her sleep very soundly.

Lin Jingyi lay beside her, but her eyes were open, staring at the blurry ceiling in the darkness, unable to fall asleep.

My body was exhausted, but my heart felt warm and swollen, as if it were being soaked in lukewarm water. The desire ignited by Chen Fei's embrace did not subside; instead, it became even clearer in the night.

She turned to her side, using the light streaming in from the window to look at Shen Shaoting's sleeping face. After hesitating for a moment, she gently lifted the blanket, stepped out barefoot, and the cold floor snapped her back to reality.

She stood silently in the darkness for a few seconds, like a silent statue, while a fierce battle raged within her.

Ultimately, the longing captured by the "resonance of the heartstrings" and amplified by the dead of night overwhelmed all restraint and hesitation.

As if drawn by invisible threads, Lin Jingyi silently opened the bedroom door and went out.

The living room was completely dark at that moment.

She was familiar with the layout of the place, and silently moved through the living room into Chen Fei's room.

In the darkness, she quietly lifted the covers.

Chen Fei's body was tense as he slept, but he did not wake up, as if he were trapped in a burning dream from which he could not escape.

The next morning, after the three of them finished breakfast and tidied up, they went downstairs.

Chen Fei's car was parked downstairs. Shen Shaoting opened the passenger door, threw her small bag into the back seat, and climbed in. She then took out a bag of potato chips and a box of chocolates from her bulging handbag.

Lin Jingyi sat in the back seat with a small insulated bag on her lap containing freshly cut fruit she had prepared that morning.

The car drove out of the city and onto the old road leading to the suburbs.

The tall buildings outside the window were gradually replaced by farmland and low-rise factories.

Shen Shaoting was crunching on potato chips when she suddenly remembered something and turned to ask, "Brother Fei, why didn't we invite Sixian to come along?"

Chen Fei kept his eyes on the road ahead, turning the steering wheel around a corner: "Let her have some peace and quiet. She needs time to process all that she said yesterday. Besides, today is mainly to visit my grandma, and bringing too many people might make her uncomfortable. I'll bring her alone next time."

"That's true." Shen Shaoting nodded, then stuffed another potato chip into her mouth. "What does Grandma like? Will she like the things we buy?"

"I'll definitely like it, don't worry." Chen Fei smiled. "Don't be nervous, Grandma is a very nice person."

Lin Jingyi listened quietly in the back seat, and sighed softly, "Our kind of work is so much more flexible. Although we're tired from filming, at least we can arrange our own time and go out to play whenever we want."

"Don't even mention it," Shen Shaoting immediately chimed in, pursing her lips as she recalled being pressured to lower the price yesterday. "It's free, but it's unstable. Dealing with unreliable clients can be infuriating. By the way, Fei-ge..."

She then turned the conversation to Chen Fei, her eyes sparkling with curiosity, "What exactly is your company on the 26th floor of the Jitao Building planning to do? My colleague Sixian mentioned it yesterday, and it sounds really impressive."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei tapped his fingers lightly on the steering wheel.

In fact, as long as the company structure is set up, there are reasonable business categories, and people can be continuously recruited and kept on stable payroll, money will come in steadily through the system's skills.

"Let's start a media company," Chen Fei thought for a moment and came up with a reasonable suggestion. "We can create some accounts, and once they're up and running, we can use Jiang Che's clothes and get some gigolos. I'll plan out the details when I get back tomorrow."

He wasn't entirely making things up; with Shen Shaoting and Lin Jingyi involved, they do have a solid foundation for creating fashion, beauty, and lifestyle content.

"Wow! That sounds amazing!" Shen Shaoting immediately perked up. "Then can Jingyi and I become veteran anchors? No, I mean partners!"

Lin Jingyi leaned forward slightly, her eyes filled with anticipation: "I hope the company can get back on track soon, so Shaoting and I won't have to worry about dealing with annoying clients. Fei-ge, please let us know if you need our help."

"Okay, no problem." Chen Fei changed the subject.

At this stage, maintaining the cashback skills, handling the renovation of Jitao Building, and sorting out the complex relationships around you are all things that need to be done.

As we chatted, the car left the main road and turned onto a slightly narrow county road. The buildings on both sides became increasingly old, gradually resembling a rural-urban fringe area.

Chen Fei slowed down. He was familiar with every brick and tile here.

The air was filled with the faint smell of burning garbage and the scent of earth, along with the occasional stench of chicken droppings and pigsty, causing Shen Shaoting and Lin Jingyi to frown repeatedly.

Several old men who were squatting in front of a roadside shop, smoking and playing chess, looked up. A middle-aged woman carrying a vegetable basket and wearing a floral shirt stood by the roadside, her gaze following a black sedan that slowly drove by.

As the car passed by, faint whispers drifted in through the open window:

"Wow, this car must be expensive, right? Whose is it?"

"They look unfamiliar. This must be their first time here. Did they head towards the old village?"

"Hey, look at that young man driving, doesn't he look a bit like the grandson of Granny Chen who used to collect scraps?"

"Really? Grandma Chen's family is already considered well-off if they have a motorcycle, let alone two such beautiful girls?"

"It really does look a bit like him! I think he came back a couple of years ago, dressed in rags. It hasn't been that long, has it?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, you've made something of yourself! Unlike my son, who just mooches off his parents!"

Chen Fei remained expressionless, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Shen Shaoting heard it clearly. She turned her head, pressed her face against the car window, and looked out curiously with a smug look on her face.

Lin Jingyi straightened her back slightly, subconsciously tidying her hair and the hem of her clothes, preparing to get off the bus in the best possible light.
