Shock! I became the protagonist of a female-oriented novel.

Originally, to avoid making a mistake, Yu Ci only wanted to print out a few photos to look at.

But when she actually got to the store and looked at all the photos on the USB drive, choosing one was really, really difficult. So she simply decided to print all the photos out, then picked out a few that she really liked, enlarged them, and hung them in her bedroom.

"I really want to watch it with you, but it's not convenient right now..."

"Let's look at it together when we go on a trip together."

"Mmm." Lin Xiaoai held her phone, which was emitting a faint light, and smiled sweetly. "When the time comes, we can take lots and lots of photos together again."

It's strange that couples are chatting like this.

Even though there's nothing really going on, they just keep babbling on and on without hanging up.

They talked about the trivial and complicated things in life.

They spoke of those unspoken emotions.

"Yes, visiting relatives is really boring."

"The most boring thing is giving out red envelopes." Lin Xiaoai dislikes the whole thing. "Many relatives said they would give me a 'college admission red envelope' when they heard I got into Alistair, but then they changed their tune and said my parents couldn't give red envelopes when their children were in high school—"

"We should continue the tradition and give out red envelopes when I go to university."

"Who needs a red envelope?" Only at times like this could Lin Xiaoai reveal a hint of girlish frustration. "Our family wasn't well-off before, and there was no such thing as a red envelope for graduation back then..."

She muttered to herself for a while.

Suddenly, Lin Xiaoai's phone chimed.

Yu Ci: Transfer ¥6666, please confirm receipt.

"Senior, you don't need to send me a red envelope for getting into a good university..."

"Asking for red envelopes is just for good luck. I've been in school for so long, I don't need to share in this good fortune anymore."

Although Xiao Ai verbally refused, a smile lingered on her face, hidden in the darkness.

Yu Ci's slightly raised voice sounded very assertive at this moment, "Who told you that the money I sent you was a college admission bonus?"

"This is a red envelope I sent you... to mark our 60th anniversary together."

"Hurry up and collect it."

"Oh." The other person quickly tapped the payment button. "Senior, you still remember the days we spent together!"

Remainder: ?

What does that mean? What do you mean by "you still remember"?

"Can't I remember?"

"No, no." Realizing she might have said something wrong, Lin Xiaoai quickly explained, "That's not what I meant, I just—"

"I'm so happy right now, I'm a little incoherent."

After receiving the red envelopes, Lin Xiaoai suddenly pinched her nose and started whimpering and crying.

Yu Ci was stunned for a moment, and then he was completely dumbfounded.

"why are you crying?"

"Don't cry."

"Xiao Ai? Don't cry!"

"Wow, you're crying! I'm going to get up and drive to your house to find you..."

Why are you suddenly so sad?

"I'm not!" the girl retorted with a slightly nasal voice. "I'm not sad at all, I'm just too happy."

That's incredible.

There's such a thing as this.

I'm really impressed by this girl.

The person who's been mentally ranting to the power of ten thousand doesn't realize that if there were lights and a mirror right now, and he looked up, he would see—

A silly pretty girl, laughing like a pervert.

She cried tears of joy over this alone; who can say it wasn't because she loved him deeply?

"Alright, alright, hurry up and wipe away your tears. It's already three o'clock. Go to sleep."

"Ah."

"Senior, you should go to bed early too."

He held up his phone for another ten minutes without saying a word. Yu Ci couldn't bear to see Lin Xiaoai stay up all night, so he ended the video call first.

He didn't go to sleep after turning off the video.

Because the system started talking.

I must say, your relationship with me, Xiao Ai, has progressed by leaps and bounds.

Remainder: ...

"What do you mean 'your Xiao Ai'? It's 'my Xiao Ai'."

【…】

Wow, possessiveness in relationships is terrifying.

"You know it and you still talk nonsense?"

Okay bro, I'm just here to remind you that when you're going through a relationship crisis, don't forget to go for third base!

"I haven't forgotten."

Forgotten my foot!

Even if he forgets about this stupid mission, as long as he's with Lin Xiaoai, whatever she does, his phantom limb will react immediately and head straight for third base, okay?

It's good that you haven't forgotten~

"By the way, I have a question for you, Lily. Please answer my question truthfully."

【Huh? What is it?】 Apart from when it said it wanted to feel the lingering warmth of the corpse, the system had never seen the host so serious before.

“I want to ask…” This time, Yu Ci didn’t hesitate, “If I reach third base, will I leave this world?”

What are you thinking about?

Does leaving this world require energy?

【Brother, although you raised a humanitarian issue, I must educate you. The system's energy is extremely valuable; sending you here was already a difficult task, and you still want the system to send you away? Forgive my bluntness—】

"stop!"

"Lily, I'm just asking, okay, I mean, if I complete the third base mission, can I still stay in this world?"

I've finally asked the question I wanted to ask.

[So that's what you meant, bro. #wipingsweat#]

【Of course you can. After you're placed in this body, you'll be directly connected to it in this world. As long as you protect the body, you can stay.】

Similarly, if this body dies, Yu Ci will also be forcibly taken away.

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Yu Ci leaned back on his pillow.

You can leave it.

That means...

It's time to make a promise at the appropriate time.

Xiao Ai has been saying she wants to say "I love you" for a long time.

He has never actually said, "I want to be with you for the rest of my life."

With wonderful fantasies and imagined magical scenes, Yu Ci slowly drifted off to sleep.

The next day.

Because he went to bed too late, Yu Ci was still asleep at nine o'clock in the morning.

Mr. Yu, who has been up for two hours, chuckled.

Didn't we already agree yesterday that we'd go to the old house today?

Wow.

Why did my youngest daughter choose today to stay in bed when there's no better time?

With a soft hum, Yu Zhengguang suppressed his impatience, went up the corner stairs, and prepared to push open his youngest daughter's door.

The knocking sound lasted for about a minute, but there was still no response from inside.

Yu Zhengguang sighed, took the spare key, and opened the bedroom door.

"Xiao Ci, wake up!"

His voice was very loud, and the person on the bed sat up almost instantly.

"Dad, Dad."

"Alright, wake up and get ready. We're going to the old house later."

"Oh……"

The person had already been woken up. As Yu Zhengguang closed the door, he glanced casually at the enlarged photo on the wall and paused for a moment.

downstairs.

Sitting on the sofa, Boss Yu was filled with doubt.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Private Date!

Are all girls like this nowadays...?

They actually kissed while taking photos? Even though it was just a kiss on the cheek, Yu Zhengguang, who is still a bit conservative in his thinking, still found it strange.

Before he could think it through, Yu Ci had already changed his clothes and gone downstairs.
