Pei Wu's expression calmed Shen Yu Nan down a bit, and he felt that he had made the right bet.
Pei Wu stared at Shen Yu Nan for a few seconds before slowly opening her mouth.
"So, you are Meng Qinsu?" As Pei Wu spoke, the image of Meng Qinsu's film and television materials that she had occasionally glimpsed on her researcher's computer flashed through her mind again.
She truly knew nothing about this star named Meng Qinsu. In the film clips, the scene where Meng Qinsu was covered by a forensic doctor's costume, leaving only his eyes visible, was Pei Wu's entire impression of him.
Shen Yunan could hear the probing in Pei Wu's tone.
“..........”
'So Meng Qinsu really is the person she's trying to win over...?'
Pei Wu and Shen Yu Nan's eyes met, each looking into the other's gaze.
It was only a few seconds, but for the two of them it felt like an eternity, as if everything around them had frozen, and the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them.
After a moment of silence, Shen Yu Nan finally nodded, feeling as if his head weighed a ton.
He almost had to grind his back teeth to keep himself calm, but the system's warning rang in his ears once again.
The pain, as if countless tiny electric currents were piercing his skin like silver needles, returned once again... He tried his best to swallow back the muffled groan that almost escaped his throat... to make himself look more natural.
'Warning! Warning again! According to the Wise Husband System you are bound to, honesty and obedience are the first requirements of your mission when dealing with your master. Your recent remarks have seriously violated the system's requirements. The system warns you once again that if you lie to your master, this lie will remain between you and your master and may affect the subsequent development of your relationship. If your lie causes the mission to fail, you will have to bear the consequences yourself.'
'If the conquest mission fails, you, host, will be forever imprisoned within Shao Sang's body. Please remember the system's requirements and follow the instructions of the Wise Husband System to conquer your master.'
The noisy system sounds in his ears made Shen Yu Nan even more irritable. He could only keep calm by clenching his hands tightly and feeling the pain of his fingernails digging into his palms.
This was the first time he had disobeyed the system's orders.
"So... what is your system mission?" Although Pei Wu already had a preconceived answer in her mind, she still asked Shen Yu Nan. At this moment, Shen Yu Nan nodded slightly and said slowly with a rather lonely voice, "Is it to win me over?"
"Yes, my mission is to make you fall in love with me."
The pain in his body only disappeared instantly after Shen Yu Nan answered Pei Wu's question truthfully.
In just a few words, the system's punishment was enough to make Shen Yu'nan's forehead break out in a thin layer of sweat.
“…” Pei Wu remained silent for a while before softly saying “Mmm”.
Although the result was similar to what she had expected, Pei Wu still found it hard not to feel a sense of desolation.
"At first, I came to A-Wu's side because of the mission, but after spending these days together, my feelings for A-Wu are genuine, and my answer at the beach last night was also genuine. I have truly fallen in love with A-Wu." Shen Yu-Nan lightly bit the corner of his lip, and as if gathering his courage, asked Pei Wu again, "So, when A-Wu said she liked me, was it because of the system mission?"
When Shen Yu Nan learned that Pei Wu had come to this world because of a mission, this question lingered in his mind.
“…” Pei Wu shook her head and said, “I never lie.”
Regarding Shen Yu Nan, she only said she wanted to pursue him, but never said she liked him.
She did indeed feel attracted to Shao Sang, and his every move captivated her. She even minded him being too close to other women. Thinking of the ambiguous scene she had just witnessed, Pei Wu's possessiveness stirred again.
She was desperately trying to control the surging hormones within her, the dominance a woman has over a man, even if he's just a robot with a chip on the back of his neck that senses male hormones...
She was also afraid of hurting Shao Sang in front of her.
Seeing the expectant look on Shao Sang's face, Pei Wu continued speaking slowly.
"I really like you. Those sweet words I said to you were sincere, but I've never been in a relationship before, so I might not be good at expressing myself."
Pei Wu's words made Shen Yu Nan's heart pound rapidly.
After a while, Pei Wu was the first to look away and then said thoughtfully, "Was it you who bound our game pods?"
“…” Shen Yu Nan shook his head. “I don’t know about this matter.”
He had overheard Pei Wu and Yan Chang discussing this issue when they were at the hospital that day.
Seeing Shao Sang's answer, Pei Wu did not press the matter further.
Having spoken clearly, Pei Wu felt much more at ease.
Shen Yu Nan watched as Pei Wu continued to wash the fruit she had brought back.
Pei Wu bought back a wide variety of fruits, including tropical fruits that were a specialty of this seaside city.
Pei Wu was dressed casually today, and her long, dark hair was casually tied into a ponytail behind her, which further accentuated her beautiful face shape.
"....."
As Pei Wu arranged the washed fruit on a plate, she asked Shen Yu Nan, "So, you deliberately sent me away to buy fruit just now?"
