"I'll pick you up after my part-time job tomorrow, okay?"

His face was full of hope.

"I……"

Jiang Mian actually wanted to refuse.

But seeing He Yubai's burning and sincere gaze, she swallowed back the words of refusal that were on the tip of her tongue: "We'll talk about it later."

Her answer was ambiguous, but He Yubai took it as a tacit agreement made out of embarrassment, and his expression immediately brightened.

"I know when you get off work, so it's settled then, see you tomorrow!"

"Ah, this..."

As if afraid she might change her mind, He Yubai quickly got into the car and left.

Jiang Mian, standing still, was somewhat troubled. What she feared most was someone like He Yubai.

If it were just a crush, that would be fine. Jiang Mian wouldn't be slow to react in that regard; she could have nipped the seed in the bud the moment the other person showed any interest.

But the problem now is that the other party not only doesn't hide anything, but is also coming on particularly aggressively.

It's as if they're openly declaring: I like you, and I'm going to pursue you.

If it were something indirect, Jiang Mian could pretend not to know, but if it was something so straightforward, she really had no way to deal with it.

Three days of part-time work passed in the blink of an eye.

He Yubai kept his word and arrived early in his luxury car, waiting for him.

Besides him, there were also Liu Yitang and Zhou Ziyu.

A trio that never separates and bickers.

These were nicknames Jiang Mian secretly gave them, and she couldn't help but chuckle whenever she thought about them.

I thought that with her life in such a mess, she would continue to patch things up.

Unexpectedly, an unexpected guest arrived.

[Beep! Upgrade complete!]

A mechanical voice boomed in my ears: [Report! Heartbeat value verification function activated!]

Jiang Mian: "???"

Damn it!

Her damn system finally came back to life!?
