After Bai Chao returned, no matter how much money he borrowed, he still got nothing. Zhou's mother didn't care too much. She just cried and urged him to borrow money quickly because the court was going to auction their house and they would have to sleep on the streets if they didn't have money.

Bai Chao really couldn't borrow any money, so he had to forcibly return some of his messy membership cards to scrape together some money. As soon as Zhou's mother got the money, she hurried to hold the funeral.

However, these are the fates that villains deserve, and Bai Chao’s focus is of course still on the mission.

In addition to completing his superficial work these days, he was also using his Sky Eye to observe the male protagonist's movements, and began to make repeated attempts on the content of the chat.

What’s different from before is that Bai Chao’s temptation is more obvious.

[Rapunzel]: I sneezed several times today.

【Rapunzel】: It’s all because of you!

[Yan]: ...Me?

[Rapunzel]: Because I have no resistance to you.

[Inkstone]: ...

[Yan]: Do you need me to buy you some cold medicine?

001 snorted: "Host, you are so oily, can the male protagonist really bear it?"

Bai Chao replied to the message on his phone expressionlessly: "Don't worry, he can handle it."

If she had said this when the progress was below 50%, of course the male protagonist would politely distance herself from her. But now... as long as she didn't touch the bottom line, the male protagonist's tolerance for Rapunzel was still very high.

[Rapunzel]: No, no, I drank it in the afternoon. It’s bitter.

[Rapunzel]: And I felt so sleepy after taking the medicine. I slept for the whole afternoon.

[Inkstone]: Yes.

[Rapunzel]: But I think I dreamed about you. My mom said that whoever you dream about is who you are thinking about.

Fu Guiyan was stunned, his finger stopped above the screen, not knowing how to reply.

The next second, another message came from the other side.

【Rapunzel】: I miss you...

Fu Guiyan's heart suddenly trembled.

[Rapunzel]: She should still be doing her homework~

"..."

Fu Guiyan looked to the side and saw an open computer and scattered documents next to him.

He did have work to do.

001 had never seen this kind of routine before, and felt like laughing: "Host, you actually split one sentence into two."

It causes misunderstanding and makes people think too much.

Bai Chao was leaning lazily on the bed. The male protagonist had stopped replying, but as soon as he put down his phone, a call came in from the other end.

His eyebrows raised slightly. Is it not time to put him to sleep yet?

Bai Chao thought about it and answered the phone.

"Hello? Why are you calling me suddenly?"

The man said in a calm tone: "Didn't you say you missed me?"

Bai Chao: “…”

He glanced at his phone. When did the male protagonist become so smart?

The progress bar is moving.

Bai Chao said in a surprised tone: "Is this something you can say? Isn't it a bit too ambiguous?"

The man seemed to chuckle: "No."

Bai Chao's eyes flickered: "Oh, I want you to finish your homework early and coax me to sleep."

"Didn't you sleep all afternoon? Can you still sleep?"

"..."

Bai Chao rolled his eyes: "Of course I can fall asleep."

Fu Guiyan seemed to hear that he was unhappy: "Don't be angry, I can finish my homework soon."

Bai Chao snorted: "Okay then~ Hurry up, I'm hanging up."

"Ah."

Fu Guiyan looked at the hung up phone and shook his head helplessly.

Bai Chao threw his phone aside and fell lazily on the bed.

"001, what time is the meeting that the male protagonist will attend in three days?"

"At half past nine in the morning."

Bai Chao pondered for a moment: "A two-hour meeting... Let's check his schedule to see if he has invited any guests for lunch."

"Good host."

At this time, Zhou's mother came in without knocking.

"Son, the funeral has been set for three days. Remember to invite your friends."

Bai Chao turned over and sat up: "Ah? Where can I do it?"

"I'll send you later, but you have to take care of the funeral arrangements. Mom didn't hire anyone, so you can just do whatever you want when the time comes. The key is that those people have to come."

"Oh……"

Bai Chao lay back down again.

It's rare that Zhou's mother learned to save money.

Zhou's mother kept nagging him to borrow money, and then scolded Zhou's father a few times before leaving.

After a while, 001 came back with the news.

"Host, the male protagonist did invite a guest to lunch. It seems that he is one of their potential clients."

"Ah."

Bai Chao picked up another phone and sent a message.

……

Fu Guiyan finished the work at hand as quickly as possible. By the time he finished typing the last line, it was already ten o'clock.

He turned off the computer and picked up his cell phone to make a call.

But the call was not connected until a while later.

"Hey……"

The girl opposite seemed to be hiding in the quilt and spoke in a very low voice.

Fu Guiyan was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong with you?"

The girl's voice was low: "Mom said that I can't let any man other than Dad to comfort me to sleep, because he can't comfort me forever."

"..."

Fu Guiyan understood the girl's hint and was speechless for a moment.

"Yan, can you?"

The girl whispered his name, testing it cautiously.

Suddenly, Fu Guiyan's breathing became disordered, his ears felt hot, and his heartbeat inexplicably quickened.

The hand holding the phone froze at his ear, and he couldn't see that there was already a red patch behind his ear.

When Bai Chao heard the disordered breathing from the other side, the corners of his lips slightly raised.

Today the hero’s attitude has begun to change, and he must press on to win, lest the encounter arranged in three days be ineffective.

"..."

Fu Guiyan didn't remain silent for too long, and said dryly: "...I can't promise you now, but...I can do it for now."

Ding——Task progress: 85%

Bai Chao was satisfied and felt much better. This step was indeed the right one.

"great!"

The girl's voice was filled with joy.

"I really like your—" the girl dragged out the tone, "the voice."

"Remember to put me to sleep every day!"

Fu Guiyan, who had just found a collection of stories in the study, said: "..."

Bai Chao had a playful smile on his face.

The same routine works every time.

Although it's a bit greasy, the wildly moving progress bar shows that Fu Guiyan loves it.

The progress has reached 90% several times, and then dropped back to where it was.

It doesn’t matter. After they meet, the progress bar will go up sooner or later.
