Chapter 13

Su Wenxing picked out the computer from Qin Lian's arms. After he finished his business, he looked up at Qin Lian.

Seeing this, Qin Lian asked him about the requirements of this mission. After confirming that there were no special requirements, Qin Lian lowered his head and kissed Su Wenxing's lips.

Su Wenxing's cheeks turned slightly red after being kissed.

He was always the more proactive one when doing tasks, and he was always the one trying to provoke Qin Lian.

Now that their roles have been reversed, he finds himself less composed than when he was in control.

Because Qin Lian's face is really handsome, so handsome that even a man like him can't help but feel his heart pounding.

For a moment, Su Wenxing felt a little scared. If... if they continued to pretend to be a couple, would he one day be unable to resist developing feelings for Qin Lian?

Before Su Wenxing could think any further, Qin Lian lowered his head and kissed her again.

Qin Lian's eyelashes were very long, and when they were so close, Su Wenxing always felt that his eyelashes were about to touch his eyes.

Su Wenxing couldn't help but close her eyes briefly. As Qin Lian deepened the kiss, Su Wenxing finally closed her eyes completely.

The two kissed in silence for a long time, so long that Su Wenxing almost couldn't resist locking her neck tightly.

Then, at that moment, the system notification sounded.

The system notified him that the target had developed feelings for him and asked if he wanted to extract magic power.

Upon hearing this, Su Wenxing slightly opened her eyes and looked towards Qin Lian's head.

The white heart on Qin Lian's head did indeed have a few more red magic points.

Su Wenxing carefully examined it and determined that it contained approximately seven or eight points of magic power.

Upon seeing this, Su Wenxing immediately perked up. Fearing that the seven or eight points of magic power would drop, he quickly extracted it at that moment.

With his successful extraction, this mission is now complete.

However, Qin Lian was unaware of this; he was still holding Su Wenxing tightly, seemingly intending to continue kissing her.

Su Wenxing wanted to tell him, but before he could speak, Qin Lian kissed his lips again.

Su Wenxing blinked his big eyes. He thought, "Let's just kiss. It's not like we've never kissed before."

To be honest, neither he nor Qin Lian were very good at kissing.

If they practice more, they might get better and better.

As their kissing skills improve, they'll feel more comfortable when they're close, and Qin Lian will likely be more easily moved, which is a good thing for Su Wenxing.

So Su Wenxing blinked, then closed her eyes and continued to cooperate.

Qin Lian kissed her for a while, and seeing that Su Wenxing obediently let him kiss her, he finally couldn't help but frown slightly and ask, "Aren't you moved yet?"

He felt that he should be somewhat interested, so why didn't Su Wenxing react at all?

Su Wenxing said somewhat embarrassedly, "The mission is complete."

"It's finished, so why didn't you tell me?"

Su Wenxing pouted upon hearing this, seemingly a little dissatisfied.

"Didn't you say that we'd be a couple in private from now on? I was thinking that your kissing skills weren't very good, so I thought I might as well take this opportunity to practice more, which is why I didn't tell you."

Qin Lian, who was criticized for his poor kissing skills, looked a little embarrassed.

He was very reserved from a young age and had never kissed anyone.

He knows how to kiss; he learned it from watching TV dramas.

Unexpectedly, his kissing skills were so bad in Su Wenxing's eyes that Su Wenxing told him to practice more.

"Now that today's task is complete, let's practice kissing later."

As Qin Lian said this, he tried to get up and go back to rest.

Seeing this, Su Wenxing gave a soft hum.

Qin Lian paused in her act of getting up, looking at him with some confusion.

"What's wrong?"

Su Wenxing raised her chin. "It's a good thing we're not really dating, otherwise, with your current attitude, I would never want you."

Qin Lian raised an eyebrow, then sighed, and reached out to pick up Su Wenxing.

"Okay, okay, it was my fault. I'll take you back to rest."

As Qin Lian said this, he carried Su Wenxing back to his room.

Su Wenxing watched as he dutifully carried him back, and even brought him a cup of hot milk. He couldn't help but secretly rejoice for a long time.

Meanwhile, Qin Lian took Su Wenxing back, then turned on his computer and found a romance drama. He really didn't know much about dating, so he planned to watch more romance dramas to brush up on his knowledge.

However, Qin Lian fell asleep shortly after the romance drama began.

Because he's not interested in these kinds of TV dramas, he can't help but feel sleepy when he watches them.

When Qin Lian woke up the next day, his computer had run out of power and shut down.

He rubbed his slightly aching temples and quickly got up to check on Su Wenxing next door.

When he arrived, Su Wenxing was still asleep.

Qin Lian leaned over and touched Su Wenxing's forehead.

Su Wenxing was woken up by him and opened her eyes with some dissatisfaction.

Su Wenxing asked him, "What are you doing?"

"You still have class today, you should get up."

"Okay, I'll get up right away."

As Su Wenxing said this, he closed his eyes again.

Seeing this, Qin Lian sighed. He planned to make breakfast first and then come over to wake Su Wenxing up.

Qin Lian's cooking skills are so-so; he can't cook anything too complicated, only some simple dishes.

For example, cooking porridge, instant noodles, making frozen dumplings, or simply stir-frying a dish.

Qin Lian went to the kitchen to cook a pot of porridge and fry two eggs before going to the bathroom to wash up.

After he finished washing up, Su Wenxing got up on his own.

Su Wenxing took attending classes quite seriously.

Su Wenxing sauntered into the bathroom and then started brushing her teeth like a ghost.

Looking at him like this, Qin Lian felt that Su Wenxing seemed a bit silly at this moment.

Qin Lian: "I'll go get you a bowl of porridge first. We'll have some porridge for breakfast."

Su Wenxing nodded, and after he finished washing up, he immediately went out to have breakfast.

They both had classes today, so Qin Lian drove him to school together.

When Su Wenxing went to class, she ran into the classmate from yesterday.

The other person asked him, "Did you give the item to Qin Lian?"

Upon hearing this, Su Wenxing said, "He has given it, but he may not accept it."

The classmate looked puzzled. "You've already given it to him, how could he refuse?"

Su Wenxing pursed her thin lips. "I grew up with him since I was little. I often helped others deliver love letters to him, but he would usually not accept them and would find a way to send them back."

"Why? Doesn't he like girls?"

"No, he doesn't accept men either."

"Does he have someone he likes?"

"No."

Before the two of them could continue their conversation, the teacher on the podium began to give a lecture, so they had to put the topic on hold.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Qin Lian found someone to help send the gift back.

If he doesn't like someone, there's no need for him to accept gifts from them.

When the girl found out the gift had been returned, she couldn't help but message Su Wenxing's classmate, asking him why the gift had been sent back to her.

The classmate was also helpless; he gave the item to Su Wenxing, and Su Wenxing did indeed give it to Qin Lian.

However, Qin Lian doesn't like her, and may not even know her, so naturally he wouldn't accept her gift.

He explained it to her thoroughly, but the girl still found it a bit hard to accept.

Because of this incident, whenever someone asked Su Wenxing to help deliver something, Su Wenxing would politely refuse.

Some people didn't pay much attention to it, while others thought Su Wenxing was doing it on purpose.

So for a while afterward, rumors circulated in the school that Su Wenxing had a crush on Qin Lian.

They just asked Su Wenxing to deliver something, but Su Wenxing went to school with Qin Lian every day, and Su Wenxing was unwilling to help them with this favor. Many people felt that Su Wenxing had something fishy going on.

As for Su Wenxing himself, who was the subject of the rumors, he didn't seem to care much about being the subject of them.

Humans are inherently creatures that love gossip.

There's a saying that goes, "Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast." Coupled with people's greater tendency to believe negative things, this fuels the rampant growth of rumors.

He knew that no one could be perfect.

As long as a person is alive, they will encounter people who don't like them.

He doesn't care what people who don't like him think; he only cares about people who like him and care about him.

Therefore, the rumors at school did not have any impact on him.

For almost a week afterward, the system did not rush to issue any new tasks.

At this point, Su Wenxing's health value had reached 23 points.

Compared to the initial five points, he is now much healthier than before.

For this reason, the system is no longer as urgent in issuing tasks as before.

Having successfully raised his health value to over 20, Su Wenxing was able to drink milk tea as he wished.

It was Friday. After finishing her classes in the afternoon, Su Wenxing went home alone.

Qin Lian didn't come to school today; he's busy with his new company.

It is said that the house has been rented and is currently being renovated.

As the company's boss, Qin Lian had to frequently go over to monitor the renovation progress.

Qin Lian's company is a game company, and the Qin family doesn't really support him starting a game company.

However, since Qin Lian started his company with money he had saved himself, without using a single penny from his family, the Qin family wouldn't interfere too much.

Su Wenxing returned home, and bought some food on her way back.

He likes to watch TV series while eating, so he turned on the computer in the living room as soon as he got back.

Su Wenxing bought two computers: a laptop for use in class and a desktop for playing games at home.

While Su Wenxing was looking for TV series, Qin Lian called him.

"I'm going back tonight, do you need me to bring you anything?"

Su Wenxing thought for a moment before answering, "Okay, could you bring me some cake, and also some fruit?"

Qin Lian said "okay" and hung up the phone.

He knew what flavors Su Wenxing liked, so he didn't have to ask any more questions.

Qin Lian returned at nine o'clock in the evening. When he came back, he bought two small cakes, grapes, mangoes, and durians.

At this moment, Su Wenxing was already sleepy. He nestled on the living room sofa watching TV, his beautiful eyes almost closed.

Seeing this, Qin Lian said to him, "If you're sleepy, go back and rest."

Su Wenxing didn't say anything upon hearing this, but continued to stare at the TV series on the computer screen.

He was indeed very sleepy, but he wanted to finish watching this part.

He wanted to see if the misunderstanding between the male and female leads would be resolved in the end.
