The day ended smoothly. After Jiang Moli received the system notification that the mission was successful, they all went home.

Jiang Moli lives alone. The male protagonist claims to be independent, having no housekeeper or maid. He's quite happy with the convenience. He starts preparing dinner on the stove. The thought of going out with Xi Xinxin tomorrow brings a smile to his face. Wait, something's wrong! An unbelievable thought flashes through his mind. He might actually be a child lover. He might actually be a...pervert!?

Realizing his own thoughts, Jiang Moli paced anxiously around the room until he smelled the burnt food, which brought him back to his senses. He slapped his forehead in annoyance and hurriedly ladled the food out.

Jiang Moli's system was nothing more than a ruthless command code. Unlike Xi Xinxin, who was flexible and could communicate, Jiang Moli still asked, "Can you tell me where the male lead invites the female lead in the plot tomorrow? Or can I choose the place myself? I want to arrange it in advance and not be as abrupt as today."

(...)

Listening to the system's meaningless radio waves, Jiang Moli finally realized that the plot only involved a one-day date, while he had arranged to meet Xi Xinxin for two days. He cursed himself for being so stupid and then started thinking about where to go with Xi Xinxin the next day.

He still hadn't made up his mind after dinner. He'd never gone on a date before, let alone knew where a date would be. If things went wrong and Xi Xinxin started to dislike him, everything would be ruined.

He anxiously texted Xi Xinxin, asking her where she wanted to go tomorrow.

When the text message was sent, Xi Xinxin was sitting in a chair in the room, confronting Xu Chacha.

Xi Xinxin usually goes to Xu Chacha's house to study with everyone on weekends. Unexpectedly, she didn't come today, so Xu Chacha barged into Xi Xinxin's house, greeted her parents, and then asked Xi Xinxin with a wronged expression why she didn't come, whether she didn't like her anymore, or whether she was feeling unwell.

"I went out with Jiang Moli today. I'm also going out tomorrow, so let's go together next week, okay, baby?" Xi Xinxin didn't hide anything.

Xu Chacha was so shocked that her entire demeanor changed: "You two, are you dating?"

"No, it's just going out to have fun, like when you guys invite me out to have fun too."

Xu Chacha was so angry she almost bit off her nails. It seemed she had underestimated Jiang Moli. If all else failed, she'd just get rid of him quietly. She looked at Xi Xinxin with a pitiful expression and said, "Could you please tell me next time you go out with him? I'm really worried about you today."

"Sure, of course no problem." Seeing how much Xu Chacha relied on her, Xi Xinxin happily patted her head.

After seeing Xu Chacha off, Xi Xinxin saw the message. She thought for a moment and replied: Let's go pet the cat.

Xi Xinxin hadn't petted a cat in far too long. Losing her love for cats was like a fish out of water, because there were practically no other forms of entertainment in her life. She'd been busy with research lately, so Xi Xinxin got herself a cat.

The little white cat is quite lazy. Taking care of it doesn't require much effort. Just petting it and feeding it every day makes Xi Xinxin happy for a long time. The little white cat is also very clingy. It often snuggles up to Xi Xinxin to sleep, and several times she's been suffocating under its weight at night, only to wake up to find the little white cat sleeping on her chest.

Jiang Moli also loves small pets. However, due to his busy career, he simply doesn't have time to care for them. Working irregular hours 24/7, he's not a superman; before participating in the experiment, he was even afraid of suddenly dying. But the person conducting the experiment had told him that resting in the virtual world wouldn't have any real effect upon returning to reality. Jiang Moli thought that once he healed his brother's hand, he would take a long vacation and get some proper rest.

The next day, after breakfast, the two found a cat cafe on a pedestrian street outside a large square. After disinfecting their hands with alcohol and putting on shoe covers, Xi Xinxin bought some cat treats and a cat toy. She noticed a cat that looked a lot like her little white cat, but much more active. It immediately started eating the treats from Xi Xinxin's hand, and soon all the other cats gathered around it.

There were quite a few people on the weekend. Several people petting the cats were attracted by Jiang Moli and Xi Xinxin's appearance. A few girls even wanted to ask for their WeChat, but they weren't sure if the two of them were a couple.

The wind chimes in the store rang. Another customer came in, and you could hear the clerk talking to that person.

"here we go again?"

"Yes, your cat is cute."

"Hahahaha, I like the way you talk, young man."

After the person approached, he stopped behind Xi Xinxin and said, "What a coincidence, we meet again."
