"System, what is the main task regarding Xiao Changhen this time?" This is the question that Yan Baibai cares about most.
"Host, your main task is to help Xiao Changhen embark on the path of immortal cultivation." The system then explained: "Host, I indicate here that the risk factor is very high, and you will suffer a great sacrifice. You must be careful."
"System, since I chose you, I will definitely complete my mission diligently." Yan Baibai said with a firm look in his eyes, "Also, we discussed this issue after the sect trial conference ended. I'm mentally prepared. I know that being reborn is not that easy."
"Host, you don't have to worry too much. Ever since you and Xiao Changhen met, I have been secretly observing you. Xiao Changhen is very dedicated to you and is a very qualified husband."
Yan Baibai didn't show any relief after hearing what the system said. She withdrew her hand from massaging Xiao Changhen and shook him awake.
"Mianmian, what's wrong?" Xiao Changhen sat up straight, frowned and rubbed his forehead.
"Can you call me Baibai from now on?" Yan Baibai looked directly at Xiao Changhen and asked.
"Hmm?" Xiao Changhen took his hand away, looked at Yan Baibai in confusion, and asked, "Why?"
"My name is Baibai." Yan Baibai said frankly.
Although it knew that Xiao Changhen had fallen for "love at first impression", the system still felt that Yan Baibai's move was too reckless. Just when it was worried that Xiao Changhen would discover something unusual, Xiao Changhen spoke.
"Okay, Baibai."
The system was stunned. Not only did Xiao Changhen not find anything unusual, he didn't even have the slightest hesitation!
This is definitely not an effect that can be achieved with props like "first impression of love". At least, the doubts cannot be eliminated by "I am just in vain".
"You are so nice to me. Does your head still hurt?" The smile on Yan Baibai's face deepened a lot, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"Yeah, but it doesn't matter. You'll be fine after a good sleep." Xiao Changhen showed a doting smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to rub the top of Yan Baibai's head, and said in a gentle tone: "Mian... Oh no, Baibai, don't worry."
"Okay, we still have a while to get home, why don't you take a rest?"
Xiao Changhen nodded, then leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes.
By this time, the system had also noticed something was amiss. Judging from Xiao Changhen's previous behavior, he had indeed been completely obedient to Yan Baibai, but this wasn't normal.
It is not something that comes from the heart, but rather a programmed action that is the result of systematic learning and strong control.
"You've discovered it too, right?" Yan Baibai sneered, then continued, "System, you should check Xiao Changhen's favorability towards me."
The system immediately called up Xiao Changhen's favorability value.
Stranger: -5
Secret Pavilion Colleagues: 1
Jia Yuanwai: 2
Neighbors: 1
Yan Baibai: 20
"What has kept him alive till now?!!"
This is the question the system can't help but ask after looking at the data.
This kind of data can only be seen in some extremely depressed patients who are extremely disgusted with the world. Although the system knows that Xiao Changhen is not as "excellent" as Jia Yuanwai's investigation, it did not expect that Xiao Changhen would be so...
Disappointed? No hope? No hope in life?
"System, don't just stick to the living things around him, pick out his favorite items recently." Yan Baibai ordered.
The system took immediate action, analyzing Xiao Changhen's recent information and quickly filtering out the answer.
The most recent fluctuation: Yan Baibai (-5~20)
Recent maximum value: Xiuxian 100
Stable maximum value: 50 gold
"System, when a normal person meets a cute little animal on the road, how much favorability will they have during that short period of time?" Yan Baibai asked.
"20," the system replied expertly, but soon realized something and said in horror, "Host, Xiao Changhen treats you..."
"That's right, he treats me like a cat or dog that he likes." Yan Baibai's tone was very calm.
No wonder the host never called Xiao Changhen husband again, and Xiao Changhen didn't seem to notice this problem.
That’s right, who cares how many times a cat or dog barks at you?
"Host, I forgot to ask, when did you regain consciousness?" The system was shocked for a long time, then asked: "How did you discover Xiao Changhen's abnormality?"
"When dinner at the Jia Mansion was almost over." Yan Baibai was also glad that she recovered at that time, otherwise, she could not guarantee that she would not be discovered by Xiao Changhen.
"I was able to notice Xiao Changhen's abnormality thanks to Mr. Jia's sudden drunken rage. At that time, I noticed a flash of confusion and bewilderment on Xiao Changhen's face. In the following time, Xiao Changhen's behavior seemed normal, but I still noticed it."
Yan Baibai took a deep breath.
"He was observing and learning quietly." Yan Baibai seemed to laugh out loud, then continued, "After arriving in the carriage, he even imitated me directly."
"Host, do you mean to say that after you got on the carriage, Xiao Changhen suddenly asked to sleep on your legs like a drunk, imitating Mr. Jia?" The system was also shocked.
During this period of time, it has been observing the interactions between Xiao Changhen and Yan Baibai from a God's perspective. It only feels warm and peaceful, but it has never doubted that Xiao Changhen's performance was the result of systematic learning.
"Host, I don't understand..." The system couldn't analyze why Xiao Changhen did this.
"Maybe, it's to make myself no different from others..." Yan Baibai concluded, recalling all the times he had spent with Xiao Changhen.
After that, Yan Baibai and the system stopped talking. Perhaps because of the influence of Jia Mianmian's body, the carriage swayed slowly forward. Listening to the sound of the wheels rolling over the bluestone slabs, Yan Baibai gently closed his eyes.
Half an incense stick later, Yan Baibai's head slowly slid down. A hand gently supported Yan Baibai's head, and then gently pushed it away, and Yan Baibai gently leaned on Xiao Changhen's shoulder.
Xiao Changhen's movements were gentle, but Yan Baibai didn't wake up. He lowered his head slightly, his eyes focused on Yan Baibai's face. After a long moment, he lowered his head and gently rubbed Yan Baibai's head with his own, then closed his eyes.
This time, the system carefully observed Xiao Changhen's eyes and saw that there was no emotion in the deep black pool. However, the image of the two of them leaning on each other in the small carriage was so heartwarming...
The system, in disbelief, called up Xiao Changhen's favorability towards Yan Baibai.
Yan Baibai: Favorability +1, total 21.
Just when the system felt a little comforted.
Yan Baibai: Favorability -1, total 20
Yan Baibai did not make any move from beginning to end.
system:……
Haha~ Man!
