With a "whoosh," Rong Shang immediately lifted her eyes, only to be caught off guard and meet Xu Yan's dark, abyss-like pupils.

The two looked at each other, and little pink hearts appeared around them.

"Ningning, shall we go abroad together?"

Xu Yan gently stroked her smooth cheek, a faint smile curving his slightly red lips.

"I will take care of you, we—"

Why?

Xu Yan was interrupted by Rong Shang before he could finish speaking.

His gaze paused, and a complex emotion flickered in his eyes as he looked at Rong Shang.

"Why did you ask me to come abroad with you?" Rong Shang asked again.

Perhaps it was because her expression was too calm when she spoke that she seemed indifferent.

Xu Yan lowered his eyes. He suddenly thought of the day of the exam, when she said, "Our life paths are ultimately different, so it's better to part ways amicably here."

Was that statement unintentional, or was it her true intention?

Lately, she doesn't seem to be as proactive towards him as before.

Is it because she's bored?

Does she not like him anymore?

Seeing his lowered eyes and the pursed lips, he seemed somewhat forlorn.

Rong Shang knew he was overthinking things again.

I've never seen a teenager as prone to suspicion as him.

System: [That's because he cares about you.]

Rong Shang: Oh, then I should say that no other boy is as fragile and easily hurt as him.

System: [That's because you spoiled him.]

Rong Chang: ...

However, unable to bear seeing him so lonely and dejected, Rong Shang gently patted him and said, "Hey, I'm asking you a question. What are you thinking about?"

"Why did you ask me to go abroad with you? You have to give me an explanation."

"You stole my heart, who else would I take with me if not you?"

A dull sound rang out, and Xu Yan suddenly raised his head, staring at Rong Shang with a wronged look in his eyes.

The boy's gaze was like that of a wounded little animal, full of grievance, and Rong Chang's heart suddenly clenched.

She stole his heart...

【Host, why don't you stay? Look how wronged my Lord God is~~】

It's like a child without milk.

The system's metaphor was accidentally leaked, but Rong Chang immediately blocked it.

In the quiet room, the atmosphere became strangely tense because Rong Shang didn't answer.

Xu Yan's hands, which were originally resting on the bed sheet, tightened involuntarily, and the clenched fists showed how nervous he was.

He was afraid that Rong Shang would not be willing to go abroad with him and would break up with him.

But the answer he had been longing for came out of Rong Chang's mouth the next second.

"I didn't say I wouldn't go with you."

Since she has chosen to get the same score as him, she will naturally accompany him abroad.

Anyway, being with him wasn't bad.

Rather than going to the next world to do those boring tasks, it's better to stay here and help him settle down and build a career.

"real?"

Xu Yan's dark pupils brightened, and there seemed to be a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He suddenly grabbed her hand and pressed it against his strong chest.

Will you really come abroad with me?

A strong heartbeat traveled to her palm, and Rong Shang smiled gently, "Are you happy?"

Are you happy?

The boy lowered his head and leaned in, responding to her question with a passionate kiss.

Happy!

Of course I'm happy!

He was so happy that he wanted to meld her into his very bones, so that they could be together forever and he would never have to feel anxious or insecure again.
