What?

What tricks are we waiting for her to pull?

Hang Suisui was a little taken aback.

Was Qin Yu behind the scenes plotting against them?

Okay, she admits that what happened today did seem quite unusual to others.

She also admitted that she had a little scheme in mind.

But this doesn't mean they planned or tricked her to harm her!

She doesn't even know the exact location of their date, how could she be up to something!

Hang Suisui sighed, "My twin sister is really something else."

As expected of a female lead who is all bark and no bite.

Hang Suisui lay listlessly on the bed: "What should we do now? Is this mission going to fail like this?"

Huo Zhou still hasn't been able to feed Qin Yu. This man is really useless!

Hang Suisui silently complained.

A flurry of actions, but the score is still zero.

001 wasn't so pessimistic: [Wait, as long as they have a meal together, their date is considered a success. The progress of their relationship depends on Huo Zhou giving a gift, expressing his feelings to Qin Yu, and letting Qin Yu know that you didn't intend to harm her.]

The machine brain of 001 can sort out problems more clearly than the complex emotions of humans.

As they were talking, the system interface rang with a "ding".

Points credited: 20.

Current points: 20.

[Main character's storyline progress: 0%]

[Villain's storyline quest progress: 0%]

They're here! They're here!

They finally got to eat!

As expected, 001 was right!

Hang Suisui looked at the points credited to her account with delight; they could finally eat!

Even a tiny mosquito is still meat!

The world's first pot of gold is in hand!

She's finally no longer penniless!

The meal was coming to an end.

Huo Zhou handed the gift box he had prepared to Qin Yu.

The box is exquisite, rectangular, and one foot long.

Qin Yu took the box and stroked the brocade pattern on it with his fingers. The box was not light; in fact, it was quite heavy.

She tapped the edge of the box, examining the open area, but after feeling around for a while, she still couldn't find any gaps in the lid.

Huo Zhou saw Qin Yu's slightly puzzled expression and a clear smile appeared on his lips.

As expected, the male lead's smiles are only for the female lead!

If the Huo family's old butler were here and saw this scene, he would probably utter that classic quote.

It's been so long since I've seen the young master smile like that!

Huo Zhou reached out and grasped the other end of the box, his slender fingers fiddling with the top of the box a few times.

"There's a hidden snap here. Pull it back a bit, then pull the inner box out."

This isn't an ordinary box; it was designed by a specialist specifically for storing the contents.

Looking at the box that had been partially opened, Qin Yu was somewhat surprised; the box was truly ingeniously designed.

Boxes usually open from the middle, but this one opens from the top, and there's also this hidden clasp. If it weren't for the designer, it would be difficult for others to find the switch.

What's inside? Is it worth going to such lengths to use this kind of box to hold it?

Qin Yu felt the weight in her hand, and her intuition told her that what was inside was probably not simple.

Hang Suisui, who was lying at home and having 001 report on the situation on the front lines, was also quite excited as she discussed with 001: "Do you think Qin Yu will be surprised by what's inside this box?"

001: [No, she's seen a lot, though they're not all the same.]

Hang Suisui thought about it and agreed: "That makes sense, but Huo Zhou is really something. The first gift he gives to his sweetheart is something like this."

However, this thing, by some strange twist of fate, matched Qin Yu's hobby.

It's true, no one else could do it.

It can only be described as a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse.

Qin Yu opened the box, and the silver-gray color inside shimmered under the light.

dagger?

Looking at the exquisitely crafted dagger lying quietly inside the box, Qin Yu's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

She took the dagger out of the box, placed the box on the table, and carefully stroked the scabbard and hilt.

It is engraved with delicate lines, and the handle is inlaid with two symmetrical blue turquoise stones.

Just by looking at the texture of the hilt and scabbard under my fingertips, I could tell that this was definitely a good item!

After examining the dagger's appearance, Qin Yu gripped the hilt and quickly drew the blade.

The sharp blade gleamed coldly under the light.

The back of the dagger is engraved with flowing cloud patterns, and the blade is extremely sharp!

Upon closer inspection, a look of amazed joy appeared in Qin Yu's eyes.

What a fine knife!

As expected of the male lead, even before he knew the female lead's true identity as an assassin, he still managed to give her gifts that touched her heart.

Seeing Qin Yu's undisguised joy, Huo Zhou felt that he had made the right choice in giving her the carefully prepared gift!

Do you like this gift?

Seeing Qin Yu's appearance reminded Huo Zhou of the scene when they first met.

At that time, he was abroad negotiating a very important collaboration, but his rivals secretly sabotaged him by hiring people to try to obstruct his trip.

Caught off guard, Huo Zhou became separated from his bodyguards in a manor and was left alone.

He was relentlessly pursued by his rivals' henchmen to a secluded corner. Just as he, wounded, was preparing for a fight to the death, his opponent...

Qin Yu appeared.

Such a frail and timid woman unexpectedly saved him.

Huo Zhou's familiar voice rang in Qin Yu's ears again: "I hope this dagger can protect you and make you no longer afraid when you encounter danger."
