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

Looking at Li Yunyao, who had a sweet smile but said something surprising, Chen Fei was momentarily dazed.

Having just escaped Lu Ziyue, who was obsessed with uncovering his "supernatural" secrets, he bumps into Li Yunyao, who seems innocent but directly asks to take private photos.

Today's comic convention was full of "surprises".

Li Yunyao seemed quite satisfied with Chen Fei's reaction. She put her hands in her skirt pockets and tilted her head slightly: "What, Brother Chen Fei, do you think I'm not suitable? Or are you afraid to film?"

Her words were straightforward and bold, her eyes were clear, and there was no hesitation in her speech, as if she were talking about something very ordinary.

Chen Fei frowned but did not answer immediately.

He instinctively felt that something was wrong. According to Shen Shaoting and Lin Jingyi, Li Yunyao was their roommate and they had a good relationship.

He had just established a relationship with the two of them yesterday, and today Li Yunyao was already asking to take private photos?

"Why me?" Chen Fei decided to be direct. "We're not that close, are we? Besides, for boudoir photos, wouldn't it be more reassuring to hire a photographer you know?"

Li Yunyao shrugged, looking nonchalant: "I saw you taking pictures of that cosplayer from afar just now, and you looked pretty professional. I'm all about first impressions; if I think you're good, then you're good. As for whether we're familiar or not, we'll get to know each other after taking pictures together, right?"

Her words flowed smoothly and naturally, and sounded reasonable.

Seeing that Chen Fei still seemed hesitant, Li Yunyao decided to add fuel to the fire.

She stepped forward, closing the distance between them, and a faint fruity scent wafted into Chen Fei's nose.

Then, she did something that made Chen Fei's eyelids twitch – she stretched out her slender fingers and deliberately and slowly unbuttoned the bottom button of her knitted cardigan, leaving it slightly open.

The inner camisole and the skin of her neck were slightly exposed, and her movements carried a deliberate, nonchalant allure.

She raised her eyes, her gaze carrying a flirtatious provocation: "Brother Fei, I'm just taking some nice photos to record my youth. Don't worry... I won't tell Shen Shaoting or Lin Jingyi."

Her words paused slightly at crucial points, full of implications.

These actions and words were less of an invitation and more of a direct test.

The energetic young woman in front of him was probably only a freshman in college, and Chen Fei immediately realized that she was there to test him.

He was inwardly both amused and exasperated, but outwardly remained expressionless, his gaze not lingering long on the unbuttoned buttons she had made.

"Thank you for valuing my skills. However, I'd prefer to skip the boudoir photos; I don't usually take those kinds of shoots, and they're not really suitable. We could collaborate on regular event photos or portraits in the future if the opportunity arises."

His words were neither humble nor arrogant; he rejected the ambiguous invitation while maintaining basic politeness.

Li Yunyao raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by Chen Fei's decisive rejection, but more than that, she felt a sense of appreciation, as if she hadn't misjudged him.

Not bad, you have strong self-control and a clear sense of boundaries. You didn't try to climb the ladder too high, so you've passed the initial test.

Li Yunyao rebuttoned her clothes, regaining her previous cheerful demeanor, and deliberately said in a disappointed tone, "Alright, alright, Brother Chen Fei is indeed a gentleman. It seems I can't do this business deal."

She abruptly changed the subject, as if she had just remembered, and jokingly revealed her true purpose:

"But seriously, Brother Chen Fei, you'd better treat Shao Ting and Jing Yi well! They're my best sisters. If I find out you're bullying them, I won't let you off easily!"

She waved her little fist, her eyes carrying a serious warning, yet also revealing a kind of chivalrous spirit.

"Alright, I'm just teasing you." Li Yunyao clapped her hands, as if she had completed an important task. "We still need to add each other on WeChat, so I can keep an eye on you in the future."

She took out her phone and displayed the QR code without saying a word. The action was swift and decisive, exuding an undeniable forcefulness, yet appearing so natural.

Chen Fei smiled helplessly and scanned her QR code.

After adding him as a friend, Li Yunyao put away her phone with satisfaction, winked at him, and gave him a sly smile that seemed to indicate her plan had succeeded: "Done! I'm off, Brother Chen Fei. Remember to buy me milk tea, I can tell you some gossip about Shen Shaoting and Lin Jingyi."

After saying that, she turned and walked gracefully into the crowd, ready to continue her hunt. Her pleated skirt drew a youthful arc, her short hair flew in the wind, and she exuded a cool and confident aura.

Looking in the direction where Li Yunyao disappeared, Chen Fei stroked his chin, his feelings somewhat complicated.

Unexpectedly, the trip to the comic convention not only reminded me to pay attention to the use of the system in the future, but also led me to add Li Yunyao on WeChat.

Chen Fei maintained a natural expression and brought up the system interface.

[Task Objective (1): Become WeChat friends with Li Yunyao and have at least three effective interactions within one week]

Current interaction count: 1/3

[Reward: 10 RMB]

Chen Fei left the noisy comic convention and went straight to the gym.

Only when he changed into his workout clothes and stepped onto the treadmill to warm up did he feel his tense nerves relax a little.

Personal trainer Song Xiaofeng walked over with a mischievous smile: "Chen Fei, are you setting up a Xiaohongshu account?"

Chen Fei was somewhat surprised: "Yeah, Coach Song, you play too?"

"I don't play, but I do with my membership." Song Xiaofeng leaned closer and lowered his voice. "Today, a female member recognized you and kept asking me if it was you. She even asked me to find out why you haven't updated your videos for two days."

Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead: "Holy crap!"

Too much has happened these past few days: confirming our relationship, the anime convention controversy, company preparations, gym check-ins...

He actually forgot about updating his most stable source of income, Xiaohongshu!

Now he has to juggle three major tasks at the same time: running the company, buying a car, and getting fit. He also needs to find ways to increase his charm, maintain several complicated relationships, and enjoy a new life.

When there are too many things to do, things can easily get chaotic.

While doing bench presses under Song Xiaofeng's guidance, he made up his mind: the first thing I'll do after the company registration is completed tomorrow is to hire an assistant!

He can test the effectiveness of the "Salary Constraints" skill rewarded by the system, and someone can help him plan his schedule and sort out trivial matters.

Once he understood this, he felt much better.

As the barbell swung up and down, his brain began to conceive a new video script: "The latest 'Listen to Advice' series, time to start laying the groundwork for Jiang Che's involvement..."

"I think you're really amazing," Song Xiaofeng said sincerely as he helped him hold the barbell. "You have more followers on Xiaohongshu than our gym's official account."

As he spoke, he gestured with his chin toward Chen Fei's back and raised his voice with a smile: "Look, speak of the devil, and he appears. Your female fan who's been urging for more updates is here."

Chen Fei put down the barbell, sat up, and casually turned his head while wiping his sweat with a towel.

The next second, he stopped wiping his sweat.

A girl standing not far away, wearing a navy blue sports vest and yoga pants, was smiling at him.

Chen Fei's gaze was instantly drawn to the tattoo on her hand.

It was a cursive English tattoo: CF.

Both the font and the color are exactly the same as the LZY in Chen Fei's hand.

That girl was actually Liao Zhuoyan, the original owner's ex-girlfriend whom he hadn't seen in a long time!
