The afternoon sunlight poured into the room from the window. Pei Yan stood with half of his body in the sunlight, looking even more handsome.
Song Huan looked at his face shining in the sunlight and couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart, "Enough, enough."
Forgive him for his good looks.
She picked up the lunch box and said, "Let's not talk about others. I brought lunch. Where should I put it for you?"
Pei Yan's expression softened a little upon hearing this, and he raised his hand and pointed at the table by the window.
Song Huan walked over with the lunch box and took out the food from the box one by one...
While taking the food, he was thinking about how to complete today's "kiss, hug and lift up" task in a "restrained" way... However, when Song Huan took all the food in the lunch box, he still couldn't think of a "restrained" way.
"Put down the food, you can go back." Just at this moment, Pei Yan's clear and light voice floated into Song Huan's ears, and the first thing he said was the order of expulsion.
Song Huan: “…” It’s really frustrating.
But giving up is impossible. The worst that can happen is that I will just keep on kissing stubbornly. Being reserved is not something you can eat.
Song Huan turned around, looked at Pei Yan who was walking towards him, and smiled: "Okay, I'll go back to my room right away."
"..." Pei Yan paused. He didn't look like someone who would be obedient.
Sure enough, as soon as he had the thought, Song Huan walked up to him quickly and hugged him with both hands.
Pei Yan frowned, wanting to raise his hand to pull Song Huan away, but his hand suddenly stopped halfway. The person in front of him was warm and soft... For a moment, he seemed to forget the coldness in his memory...
"Ding—You have completed the 'Daily Hug' mission."
"Congratulations on gaining one hour of life."
Hearing the system prompt that the task was completed, Song Huan let go of Pei Yan, thinking that he was afraid that he would have to fight wits and courage with this guy again in the "kiss" task later.
But when she raised her head, she saw Pei Yan looking absent-minded, wondering what he was thinking about.
Tsk, good opportunity.
Song Huan took advantage of Pei Yan's unpreparedness, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him on the mouth.
The sweet scent of a woman brought Pei Yan back to his senses. His brows furrowed, and his half-raised hand suddenly grabbed the back of Song Huan's collar and pulled her towards him, "Song Huan!"
"Ding—You have completed the 'Daily Kiss' mission."
"Congratulations on gaining six hours of life."
Song Huan was delighted and immediately assured Pei Yan, who looked grim, "Oh, reserved. I will definitely be reserved next time! I will go back to my room now and not disturb you, my Lord, from having lunch."
After she said that, she quickly ran out of Pei Yan's room, not daring to stop along the way. She rushed back to her own room before she breathed a sigh of relief.
After returning to the room, she checked her favorability. It had already returned to zero yesterday, so it wouldn't turn negative today.
"Favorability +27."
...Hmm? It went up?
Song Huan felt relieved.
Forget about the concept of "restraint". Health and favorability are the real things.
. ……
On the second day, just as the sky was turning pale, Song Huan was awakened by the sound of horse hooves coming from the post station.
Today, they are setting off for Ning County.
Half an hour later, Song Huan, Jin Yue and Jin Le got on the carriage and left the post station.
Pei Yan did not take a carriage, but rode a horse.
This undoubtedly made it much more difficult for Song Huan to complete her "daily tasks". She and Pei Yan could only see each other when they looked for accommodation in an inn every night.
But Pei Yan seemed to be deliberately avoiding her. Every time she went to look for him, he would avoid her in order to prevent her from flirting with him...
Since leaving Fengyuan Town, Song Huan has not completed his "daily tasks" for seven consecutive days.
Seeing his health points decreasing, Song Huan started to poke the system whenever he had time.
Song Huan: "...I'm so tired."
"System, life is so difficult."
System: "...Dear, please be more open-minded."
Song Huan: "Master System, how many days has it been? Is there still no answer to the question about compensating health points?"
"You'll lose me if you do this. I no longer have the motivation to conquer..."
"Ah! Just let me die! I'll run away tomorrow and spend the rest of my life somewhere random!"
System: "...Dear, please don't be impulsive."
"We have already reached a conclusion on the compensation plan. Currently, there are two options for you to choose from."
Song Huan instantly perked up: "Which two?"
System: "The first is that we directly give you life points. The life points will be compensated for three years."
Three years?
Song Huan was stunned for a moment.
Unexpectedly, this broken system was quite generous. She thought that with the broken system's nature of being so infuriating that it would not even kill people, it would only compensate her for one year at most.
No, no, you have to stay calm.
You can't make yourself look so easy to deal with.
Song Huan: "Three years... well... that's a bit short."
"What's the alternative? Let me hear it."
System: "Dear, we actually recommend you choose the second option. The second option is more cost-effective."
"The second option is to change the health points you receive for the quest 'Consummate your marriage with the capture target 'Pei Yan''. Upon completing the quest, in addition to the one year of health points granted for the quest itself, we will grant you an additional five years of health points."
Song Huan: ...Shocked.
Wouldn’t that add up to six years of life?
But... the task of consummating the marriage is too difficult to complete.
Her favorability is only "+27", and Pei Yan is still avoiding her everywhere. She can't even complete the "kiss and hug", so how can she talk about consummating the marriage?
Song Huan: "...Master System, you also know that completing the marriage consummation mission is very dangerous..."
System: "Yes, dear. So the extra life points we give you are quite substantial."
Song Huan: "I don't think it's going to be that impressive. It'll probably take about ten years."
System: "Dear, ten years is impossible."
"If you don't think it's suitable, you can choose the first option and immediately gain three years of health."
No, no, no.
Song Huan admitted that she was greedy. Without six years of life, she thought three years was quite a lot. But with six years, she no longer cared about the three years of life.
However, since the system didn't cheat her, Song Huan knew when to quit.
Song Huan: "Okay then, I'll think about which option to choose."
System: "Okay, dear. Please do it as soon as possible. We will give you a maximum of one month to think about it. If you exceed this time, this system will regard it as you voluntarily giving up this life value compensation plan."
Song Huan: "I understand."
After a while, Song Huan tapped the system again: "If I complete the 'marriage consummation task' within a month, can you automatically assume that I have chosen the second option?"
System: "Yes, dear."
Song Huan understood.
After having one month's life value deducted on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Song Huan now only has two months' life value left.
If she doesn't complete the "marriage consummation task", even if she can complete "a kiss" and "a hug" every day, she won't be able to survive for long.
If Pei Yan continues to try to avoid her, wouldn't her life be cut short one day?
Song Huan decided to give it a try after arriving in Ning County.
If it fails... then she will ask for three years of life and then say goodbye to Pei Yan.
Living freely for three years is much more pleasant than living in fear around this guy.
Three days later, they finally arrived in Ning County.
Ning County is further north than Fengyuan Town, and the weather is drier and the wind and sand are stronger than Fengyuan Town.
As soon as Song Huan stepped off the carriage, he was dazzled by the yellow earth all over the sky.
"Madam." Jin Yue's voice was a little broken by the wind.
Song Huan looked around but didn't see Pei Yan. "Where is the Marquis?"
Jin Yue didn't know either. She said, "Madam, I will take you to the Marquis's courtyard first. He should be back soon."
Pei Yan's house in Ning County is half the size of his house in the capital, but there are more people in his house in Ning County than in the capital.
There was no extra yard for Song Huan to live in, so Pei Yan had to agree with Butler Pei to let Song Huan live in the same yard with him.
Although Pei Yan seemed reluctant, Song Huan expressed his satisfaction.
The one who is closest to the water gets the moon first...
But... when the servant from the mansion carried the box into Pei Yan's yard, Song Huan found out that this servant had arranged for her to live across from his bedroom.
Song Huan: Haha.
Do you think this can stop her from conquering? You underestimate her!
. ……
Until late at night.
Pei Yancai returned to the yard.
Song Huan saw that the light was on in the room opposite, glanced at Jin Yue who was sleeping soundly in the outer room, and went out with a small quilt in his arms. He came to the opposite side and knocked on Pei Yan's door.
