"Would you like to try this dried sweet potato? It's fragrant and sweet."

Growing vegetables in her own plot was too conspicuous, so Chen Yunyun set up a small vegetable garden in the yard to grow some of her favorite vegetables and fruits.

Anyway, with the cheat code, everything you plant will yield a quick harvest.

These sweet potatoes were harvested just last week and dried in the yard for a long time, which is why they taste so good.

Rong Yan took a full plate of bright orange dried sweet potatoes from Chen Yunyun and placed it on the wooden table.

The man sat down, and the scent of sandalwood wafted over him.

After Rong Yan sat down, he saw the stiff, fake smile on Chen Yunyun's lips, lowered his eyes, and gave a soft, cold snort, his tone indifferent, "Do you need something from me again?"

"How can you call it a request? This is clearly a friend helping each other out."

"Look, even though you're of unknown origin, I took you in and treated you like a younger brother. I'm so good to you."

"You're so strong, helping out with a small task shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Well, it's nothing serious."

"Speak," Rong Yan said, his expression unreadable.

Chen Yunyun leaned closer, looking like they were good buddies, "When you go out every morning, why don't you take something with you?"

"What is that?"

Chen Yunyun, however, remained cryptic, saying, "You'll find out tomorrow anyway."

She got up to make dinner, unaware of the faint smile playing on the lips of the man behind her.

Rong Yan didn't know why, but he seemed to feel especially at ease wherever Chen Yunyun was.

Initially, he defined Chen Yunyun as an ordinary person who was powerless to even kill a chicken.

However, he cannot kill this mortal yet.

But ever since he learned that Chen Yunyun was his stepmother that night, his feelings began to change.

Rong Yan was originally the crown prince of the Jiaolong clan, and his mother was the Jiaolong's principal wife.

From the time he could remember, his mother had never given him a kind look.

No matter how gifted he was, no matter how hard he worked, he could never win the slightest favor from his mother.

On his one hundredth birthday, his mother personally fed him poison, pulled out his dragon tendons, and dug out his dragon bones...

As a child, he shed tears of blood and cried, asking why.

The grotesque woman did not answer; her bloodied hand pierced through his body.

His vision dimmed without him realizing it, and Rong Yan could smell the lingering stench of blood all around him.

"Wake up. Hey, how did you fall asleep?"

Rong Yan opened his eyes, a fleeting darkness passing through them.

The subtle scent of sandalwood wafts into the air.

Chen Yunyun stood not far from her, waving her hand in front of his face, "Hey, are you alright?"

"I've told you not to cultivate all day long. You should sleep when you need to."

Rong Yan's cool fingertips grasped Chen Yunyun's waving hand, and warmth emanated from the point of contact.

He lowered his eyes, a hint of greed rising within him, a reluctance to let go.

"Ouch—your hands are so cold!" Chen Yunyun pulled her hand away and ran off.

Watching Chen Yunyun's hurried departure, Rong Yan tucked his hands into his sleeves, his fingers slightly curled, as if still retaining some warmth.

He stood there for a short while, and then Chen Yunyun came over again.

She came straight at him, without that fake smile on her face.

A scalding hot water bottle was shoved into Rong Yan's hands.

Accompanied by Chen Yunyun's nagging, "You're a grown man, and your hands are so cold. What if you can't have children due to uterine coldness?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yunyun felt the air temperature suddenly drop.

Oh no, she's got this habit of talking nonsense and flirting with the handsome young man. When will she ever change?

"Um, well, what I mean is—"

Thank you.

? ? ?

Did Rong Yan say thank you?

Chen Yunyun's eyes widened, and she forgot all the excuses she had prepared.

Rong Yan is always cold and aloof, and doesn't like to talk.

Chen Yunyun tried to win his favor by constantly chatting with him, but he rarely responded.

This time, he actually said thank you so politely.

Chen Yunyun was at a loss for how to react.

She coughed, forcing herself to remain calm and keeping a straight face, and hummed in agreement, "Come and eat."

She turned around, and at the same time, the mechanical voice in her mind reminded her: [Rong Yan's favorability +10, current favorability 50%.]

In less than a month, my favorability rating has increased so much.

Who would have thought that Rong Yan was actually a seemingly cold but warm-hearted fairy-like man?

Chen Yunyun was overjoyed. Once the favorability rating reached 90, she could borrow the Heart-Protecting Scale.

When the system returns, she can redeem points, complete tasks, and go home!

Oh right, we also need to unlock Rong Yan's lock so he can be a free dragon from now on.

The next morning, it was still dark.

Chen Yunyun woke up all the children and took them to Team Leader Zhang's house.

The lights were on in their house, and they could hear noises outside. It was Tiger's mother who opened the door.

After what happened before, Tiger's mother lost a part of her spirit, and her temperament improved a lot.

She smiled when she saw Chen Yunyun, "Little sister, come in and sit down, I'll make you some sugar water."

Chen Yunyun shook her head and refused, "Auntie, I came to ask you something. Does your son Huzi need to register for school? I'm taking the children today, Huzi can come with us."

Tiger was fast asleep under the covers when he heard Chen Yunyun's voice, and he jumped up with a thud.

"Godmother?!"

"I'm going! Wait for me!"

He hastily put on his clothes and rushed out.

Tiger's mother straightened his clothes, saying, "Slow down, child."

He reached into his pocket again, as if to take out some money.

Chen Yunyun quickly left, saying, "Auntie, I'm taking Hu Zi with me now."
