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

Meng Si rushed to the sink, turned on the cold water, and slapped her burning cheeks again and again.

The cool tap water temporarily calmed the restless heat under the skin, but it couldn't quell the turmoil in the heart.

She looked up at the person in the mirror, her eyes were wet, her lips were red, and her chest was rising and falling rapidly with her unsteady breathing, making even herself blush and her heart race.

The unfamiliar, unsettling ache and faint heat did not completely subside with the stimulation of cold water.

Instead, it becomes a clearer and more tormenting presence after the body calms down.

A vague thought uncontrollably surfaced in Meng Sixian's mind:

There aren't many people around right now. If we spend a little time touching them, could we calm this restlessness down?

The idea was incredibly tempting, causing her to unconsciously lift her skirt slightly and turn to walk towards the toilet stall.

But just then, another thought came to mind like a bucket of cold water – no, this can't be, Chen Fei is still waiting.

This awareness instantly overwhelmed all physical agitation.

Chen Fei was still in the theater, and the movie was almost over.

If she stays here too long, will he get worried? Will he think something has happened to her?

Or... worse, will he figure out why she's been taking so long?

Just thinking about all the possible speculations Chen Fei might have made filled her with shame that almost suffocated her.

We can't keep him waiting, and we can't let him notice anything unusual.

She took a deep breath, looked at herself in the mirror, and silently commanded in her heart: "Meng Sixian, calm down. Fei-ge is waiting for you. Hurry up and get ready to go out. Be natural, just like you're out touching up your makeup."

She tidied her slightly messy hair, touched up her makeup, and carefully smoothed out the wrinkles on her dress.

She breathed a sigh of relief only when the person in the mirror had largely returned to their usual quiet appearance. She then turned and quickly walked out of the restroom and headed towards the theater.

"Sixian." A deep, familiar voice came from the side.

Meng Sixian turned around and saw Chen Fei standing at the cinema exit, with no strange expression on his face, just waiting calmly.

"Why are you out here? Aren't you going to watch the movie?" Meng Sixian walked over quickly.

"The movie's almost over, and it's not very good anyway, so I came out early to wait for you," Chen Fei said, handing her a drink.

Meng Sixian was feeling a bit thirsty, so she took the drink Chen Fei offered and took a couple of sips.

While drinking, she secretly glanced at Chen Fei twice, feeling relieved that he didn't ask her why she had been gone for so long, and he didn't seem to be urging her at all, as if waiting for her to come out was a perfectly normal thing.

With the relaxation of my mind and the refreshing drink, the restlessness in my body finally subsided.

The two walked out of the cinema side by side, and then out of the Wanda Plaza gate. The cool night breeze refreshed them.

Chen Fei stretched comfortably, feeling his muscles, which had been tense from sitting for so long, relax.

Just then, the familiar notification sound rang out in his mind, and a semi-transparent system panel appeared:

[Ding! You have completed 3 effective interactions with Meng Sixian, completing the "Image Consultant" task (Part 1)!]

[Reward: 50000 RMB in Wealth!]

Immediately afterward, his phone vibrated. Without even looking at it, Chen Fei knew it was a text message confirming the timely bank deposit, and he was overjoyed.

Tomorrow's plan is now confirmed: start looking for an intermediary to set up a company and get the million-dollar reward!

However, the system prompts did not end; the text on the panel quickly refreshed:

[Successfully triggered subsequent tasks]

[Task Description: True potential partners go beyond simply becoming acquainted; they should also help each other solve life's problems, thereby building a deeper emotional bond.]

[Task Objective (Two): Help Meng Sixian realize a deep-seated wish]

[Reward: Awarded based on the progress of wish fulfillment]

"A deep-seated wish?" Chen Fei frowned slightly and subconsciously looked at Meng Sixian beside him.

This task may seem simple, but it is actually much more difficult than the first task because it requires him to truly understand Meng Sixian's heart.

Meng Sixian tilted her head slightly, feeling the gentle caress of the night breeze. The streetlights cast a layered light on her profile and white dress.

His "photography master" skills made him instinctively take out his phone and find the right angle in almost a second.

After pressing the shutter button, a photo full of atmosphere is created.

Chen Fei glanced at it and was very satisfied. He planned to turn the photo into an emoji and send it to Meng Sixian as a "little gift" when he got back.

Meng Sixian noticed Chen Fei's gaze and movements, turned her head in confusion, and asked softly, "What's wrong, Brother Fei?"

"It's nothing." Chen Fei smiled, noticing the faint satisfaction in her eyes and how her white dress looked especially gentle in the night. He couldn't help but praise her, "You look particularly beautiful tonight."

Upon hearing Chen Fei's praise, Meng Sixian was taken aback at first, and then a feeling of joy welled up in her heart.

The hours of meticulous styling and makeup seemed to have been rewarded in this moment.

She pursed her lips and lowered her head, unable to hide the smile on her face: "Thank you... You look very handsome today too."

Seeing her girlish demeanor, Chen Fei's mood brightened: "The movie's over. Is there anywhere else you want to go? Or maybe you'd like some late-night snacks? I can go with you."

Meng Sixian looked up and blinked: "I have the day off tomorrow, I don't have to go to work. What about you? Is there anywhere you want to go? I can go with you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei couldn't help but chuckle. He took a step forward, shortening the distance between them to just one step.

"Why are you asking me? I'm out and about every day, I've been everywhere. You, on the other hand, probably just go back and forth between home and work every day, you've never really had any fun."

Meng Sixian felt a little embarrassed by what he said, and pretended to be dissatisfied by gently scoffing "tsk" and slightly raising her chin, trying to make herself seem less of a homebody.

But a faint melancholy quickly settled on her face.

"At least I have alternating weeks of rest and holidays, so I still have time... It's just that there aren't many people to go out with." Her voice grew softer and softer until it almost disappeared into the night breeze.

Most of her colleagues have their own circles, and she is slow to warm up to people. In this city, apart from Meng Sixian and Lin Jingyi, whom she just met, she doesn't seem to have any friends with whom she can have fun and play freely.

Seeing the desolation in her eyes, Chen Fei's heart softened instantly: "If you want to go anywhere in the future, just tell me anytime. I'll definitely make time to go with you."

Meng Sixian's heart skipped a beat. She looked up slightly and stared blankly into Chen Fei's eyes, trying to confirm whether he was telling the truth.

The two stood there on the deserted street in the dead of night, gazing at each other silently, the only sounds being their breathing and the increasingly rapid heartbeat of one of them.

The evening breeze ruffled Meng Sixian's skirt and her fair legs, bringing a touch of coolness.

"Achoo!" Meng Sixian couldn't help but sneeze, breaking the ambiguous silence.

Chen Fei acted almost instinctively, immediately taking off his thin coat and draping it over Meng Sixian's shoulders without a word.

"Thank you," Meng Sixian pulled her oversized coat tighter. "Actually, what I really want to do is fly a kite, but it's too late now, so I can't."
