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

The morning sunlight streamed in at an angle through the glass window.

Chen Fei woke up first, turned his head slightly, and saw Shen Shaoting's peaceful sleeping profile, her breathing even, and one hand unconsciously resting on his waist.

On the other side, Lin Jingyi was curled up like a kitten seeking warmth, her cheek resting on his arm, fast asleep.

The heartwarming scene before him filled Chen Fei with emotion.

I thought that all the young women in the show had rich romantic experiences, but I never expected that Shen Shaoting had only had one boyfriend, while Lin Jingyi, after dropping out of school and giving up, loved watching dramas and shopping, and had never been in a relationship.

It's definitely not poisonous, but it's incredibly tender.

But just a few seconds after his reflection, Chen Fei felt a dull ache and fatigue deep within his body, the result of overexertion...

"Sure enough, without a strong physique, you really can't handle it." He recalled the almost out-of-control passion and intimacy of last night, feeling both absurd and exciting, and even more determined to stick to his previous idea.

Fitness! Fitness must be made a top priority immediately!

I absolutely have to start that seven-day "strengthening my body" challenge today, and I have to stick to it!

Only by acquiring that skill that allows me to recover my body every morning after waking up can I... well, be at ease and in control in the future.

Thinking of this, Chen Fei's gaze swept over the two sleeping faces beside him, which looked even more adorable. An idea suddenly occurred to him: "Maybe after I get the skill, I can try morning exercise?"

The moment the thought crossed his mind, a genuine smile appeared on his face.

[Ding! Successfully triggered "Smiling Through Life," receiving a reward of 200 yuan.]

A pleasant system notification sounded in Chen Fei's mind, and only then did he remember his [Clean and Tidy Rent Collection] skill.

Last night, not only the master bedroom, but also the living room, the side bedroom, and the balcony were not cleaned properly; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them messy.

On a whim, he accessed the system to check.

[Current cleanliness rating: 52 points (failing)]

[Daily "Clean and Tidy Rent Collection" Reward: NT$0]

"Tsk, looks like I'll have to call a cleaner this afternoon." Chen Fei shook his head helplessly. He had a lot to do today, and the robot vacuum hadn't arrived yet, so he probably wouldn't have time to clean it himself.

He tiptoed out of bed and had just put on his slippers to go out when his right hand was suddenly grabbed by a cool, soft little hand.

"Hmm... Brother Fei... Where are you going?" Lin Jingyi groggily opened her eyes, her voice soft and affectionate as she woke up.

Chen Fei's heart softened. He leaned down and kissed her forehead, whispering, "I'll go buy breakfast. You two sleep a little longer. I'll wake you up before filming this afternoon, don't worry."

Last night, Shen Shaoting told Chen Fei that Jiang Che had split the day's shooting into two afternoons, which would make things easier for the photographers and also take into account their schedules.

So there's no need to wake them up right now.

Lin Jingyi wasn't fully awake yet. After hearing that Chen Fei had only bought breakfast, she mumbled an "uh-huh," let go of his hand, turned over, and fell into a deep sleep again.

Chen Fei smiled, got dressed, and headed to the bathroom in the living room to brush his teeth and wash his face. On the way, he also cleaned up the little balloon from last night to avoid embarrassing the cleaning staff.

After he finished tidying up, he first went downstairs to pack breakfast and then picked up the camera package.

After returning home, I booked a cleaning service online for the evening.

Finally, Chen Fei opened WeChat and found the agent who had helped him with the company registration.

"Brother Wang, how's the paperwork going at my company?"

Messages are replied to almost instantly:

"Good morning, Mr. Chen! Almost there! All the paper documents should be ready by tomorrow afternoon at the latest! I'll bring them to your company then, don't worry!"

"Okay, thanks for your hard work. See you in the office tomorrow afternoon," Chen Fei replied.

At first, he only wanted to complete the task, so he deliberately chose a remote creative park as the company location. In the early stages, he didn't need a storefront; as long as it was quiet, cheap, and he could register, that was fine.

But things are different now. He has the skill of "salary constraint," which means that the more he pays his employees, the more rewards he can get.

Therefore, Chen Fei plans to look for a new office space after returning from Hangzhou to facilitate the recruitment of employees, otherwise it would be difficult to fit even ten chairs in the current office.

After finishing up his company business, he opened WeChat and booked a private training session with Song Xiaofeng, a coach at the gym, for that evening.

Today's plan was perfect:

In the afternoon, I'll head to the Firefly Comic Con and use my photography skills to capture some of its charm.

Then I went straight to the gym in the evening to continue completing the system tasks.

Thinking about this, Chen Fei felt his life was exceptionally fulfilling and he was full of energy.

Although I'm busier after time-traveling than when I was working, with my schedule packed full, this feeling of being in control and striving for my goals is completely different from the "busy" feeling of being numbed by KPIs before.

He felt as if he had inexhaustible energy, and every day was full of new possibilities.

Just as Shen Shaoting finished preparing her plans for the day, she woke up.

She was wearing a slightly oversized shirt, her two long, straight legs bare, and she walked out of the bedroom rubbing her sleepy eyes.

The top two buttons of the shirt were undone, revealing her delicate collarbone, and the hem just covered her hips, exuding a deadly sexiness in a languid manner.

"Good morning, Fei-ge." Her voice was much softer than usual. She walked over and naturally put her arm around Chen Fei's neck, kissing him on the cheek.

"Good morning. I bought new toothbrushes and towels, and they're in the bathroom cabinet. Just use them." Chen Fei opened her breakfast, then looked back at her. "You can stay here if you want, the room's empty anyway."

Shen Shaoting's eyes crinkled into a smile as she nodded, then turned and walked into the bathroom.

After Shen Shaoting finished washing up, Lin Jingyi also woke up. The three of them sat around the still-unwashed dining table and began to eat breakfast.

The atmosphere was warm and natural, and the occasional glances exchanged carried an unspoken sweetness and intimacy.

Chen Fei briefly explained his plans for the day, and specifically emphasized that he had already hired a cleaning service to clean the room, so they didn't need to tidy up after get off work.

After dinner, Shen Shaoting and Lin Jingyi went back to their room to change clothes and do some simple makeup. Chen Fei, on the other hand, checked the camera battery and memory card.

In the afternoon, Chen Fei, carrying his camera bag, went downstairs with Shen Shaoting and Lin Jingyi, who were dressed neatly and looking radiant.

He first used his phone to call a Didi (ride-hailing service) to take the two of them to the entrance of Jiang Che's company.

"Take good photos, I'll treat you to dinner tonight." Chen Fei waved to them.

"I know, Fei-ge!" Shen Shaoting replied with a smile, and Lin Jingyi nodded gently as well.

After watching them enter the building, Chen Fei instructed the driver to turn around and head to the convention center where the Firefly Comic Con was being held.

The closer you get to the exhibition hall, the more people there are dressed in strange costumes.

Cosplayers clad in full armor and swords, kemonomimi girls with animal ears and tails... the various anime and manga vibes made me feel much more relaxed, and the busyness of reality was left behind.

Besides cosplayers, the scene was filled with tourists and photography enthusiasts with their long lenses and tripods, and the air was thick with excitement and creative enthusiasm.

After getting out of the car, Chen Fei immediately sent a message to Li Hengkang: "Brother Li, I've arrived. Where are you?"

Li Hengkang quickly sent his location: "Bro, save me! There's too much stuff!"

Chen Fei smiled, followed the location and started jogging. He quickly found Li Hengkang, who was particularly conspicuous because he was carrying too much equipment.

However, the moment Chen Fei found Li Hengkang, he noticed a familiar figure, and his pupils contracted slightly.

Shen Shaoting and Lin Jingyi's short-haired roommate?

The second "potential character" suggested by the system is Li Yunyao, whose affinity system has not yet been unlocked because the prerequisite tasks have not been completed.

She actually came to the comic convention?
