Chen Jingyan: "???"

Can anyone tell her why the tasks assigned by this system are becoming increasingly bizarre?

"Who said I wanted a camera?"

The system was quite adept at sweet talk: "Dear master, Xiao Ba is part of your brain, and it's Xiao Ba's responsibility to understand your needs. Weren't you just thinking about taking a picture of Gu Zhiqing?"

Chen Jingyan: "..."

So she can't let her mind wander, because the system will try its best to turn her dreams into reality?

She looked down at the sugar water in her hand.

If she simply walks over and feeds Gu Zhiyun this bowl of sweet soup, she can earn a whopping 5,000 points.

This task is so simple, yet so... difficult.

Isn't it a bit too ambiguous for her to so casually offer water to a male friend?

But when she thought of the enormous goal of one million points, Shen Jingyan gritted her teeth.

Gu Zhiyun finished tidying up his tools, walked to the door, and waved goodbye to her.

"Wait a moment."

Gu Zhiyun saw the little girl's face turn red as she walked over to him and brought the sweet soup to his lips.

He was much taller than Shen Jingyan, so the little girl had to stretch her arms to deliver the sugar water to him so that he could drink it without any effort.

As Shen Jingyan gazed into Gu Zhiyun's deep and captivating eyes, her heart pounded wildly.

"Gu Zhiqing, you helped me install more than a dozen pieces of glass. Have some water... please."

Her tone was somewhat unnatural, and her long eyelashes fluttered as she tried to hide the shyness and panic in her eyes.

Gu Zhiyun's heart pounded violently in his chest.

He couldn't help but stare at the little girl's shy appearance for a long time.

She slowly lowered her head, her lips immersing in the still-warm sweet soup.

It was sweet, the best sugar water he had ever tasted.

Like the nectar flowing from a young girl's dimples.

Gu Zhiyun drank the sugar water in one gulp.

With trembling hands, Chen Jingyan took back the teacup, looked up, and saw a water droplet still clinging to Gu Zhiyun's chin.

He drank a little too quickly, and a tiny bit spilled from his mouth.

The water droplet traced an arc on his fair skin, hanging precariously on his jawline.

As if possessed, Shen Jingyan stretched out her finger and wiped away the drop of water.

The soft fingertips touched Gu Zhiyun's skin, and he seemed to be stimulated, his Adam's apple bobbing rapidly.

Shen Jingyan then realized just how ambiguous her actions had been.

Gu Zhiyun's gaze fell on her face and became somewhat intense. She nervously withdrew her fingers and looked at him helplessly.

This is the scene that Shen Honggang saw when he came out of the inner room.

His niece was wiping the mouth of a young educated youth from a forest farm.

The man, momentarily confused, stood frozen in place.

It wasn't until Gu Zhiyun caught a glimpse of the "voyeur" out of the corner of his eye that Shen Hong coughed awkwardly.

"I'll come out and get some hot water for Anzi."

He hurriedly grabbed the thermos and rushed inside.

He only realized what was going on after he got inside. What was he feeling guilty about?

He is an elder and Jingya's maternal uncle. He has a responsibility to Jingya and cannot let some man easily seduce her away!

Although Gu Zhiyun's appearance is impeccable, looking like a movie star, a pretty face alone is not enough!

He had to teach Jingya that choosing a man is like choosing a sweet potato. Some sweet potatoes have smooth and plump skin, but when cooked, they turn into a lump of mud and have no sweetness at all.

Some of them have a rough, bumpy skin, but once cooked, they become sandy and sweet, with a particularly good taste.

Being handsome won't put food on the table; good character is the guarantee of a good life!

Shen Honggang imagined a bunch of advice from elders on how to find a partner, then put down the thermos and went outside.

Gu Zhiyun had already left. Shen Jingyan, her pretty face flushed, was busy wiping and washing things on the stove.

Shen Honggang cleared his throat with an air of seriousness: "Jingya, that kid Gu does seem quite good, but..."

Shen Jingyan quickly interrupted him: "Uncle, you're overthinking it. We're just ordinary friends!"

Shen Honggang frowned: "Ordinary friends?"

The act of feeding him water and wiping his mouth just now doesn't seem like something an ordinary friend would do.

"Yes, just ordinary friends, the most ordinary kind!"

He confirmed this very quickly in a calm voice.

It was as if speaking quickly could mask her guilty conscience.

"Well... alright." Shen Jingyan's words left Shen Honggang speechless, so he could only earnestly advise, "Jingya, you're a sensible person, you have your own calculations, so you should be mindful of the boundaries you maintain with this ordinary friend."

Gu Zhiyun, who was regarded as an "ordinary friend" by the silent party, was so happy he felt like he could fly.

He was certain of one thing: Jingya also liked him a little.

After misunderstanding Jingya and Chu Chaoyang's blind date, he became certain of his feelings.

His heart was filled with this little girl, and there was no room for any other girl.

He just didn't know how to express his feelings for her.

He was afraid that being too rash would frighten the little girl.

Since the girl also had feelings for him, he was confident that she would realize his feelings sooner or later.

The sweet taste in his mouth hadn't yet faded; he smacked his lips in lingering enjoyment and drifted off to sleep contentedly.

...

After the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the festive atmosphere gradually faded.

People from all walks of life have returned to their posts, and the educated youth who went home for the Spring Festival have also returned one after another.
