After receiving the plot, Yun Yao floated to the window. Although it wasn't a very tall tenement building, the view from this vantage point on the eighth floor at sunset was quite nice...

it is good!

Since her mission is to make Xu Tingran feel that life is worthwhile, then... well, first, the first step...

Yun Yao turned to look at the person lying on the bed...

I should find a job first to solve the problem of food, so that I don't end up with an upset stomach because I can't afford to eat.

Yun Yao floated to the bedside and tugged at the clothes covering his face... She couldn't pull the clothes off, so she could only push his arm.

"Let's go look for a job. That auntie today said she lives in a nearby neighborhood. Why don't we go ask her and see if she can help us find a job?"

Xu Tingran opened her sleepy eyes and looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "Why should someone introduce me to someone? Besides, I've only graduated from high school, what kind of job can I find?"

Yun Yao lightly tapped her chin with her finger, looking him up and down. "I see you have extraordinary bone structure and the air of a top student. Your grades must be excellent... We could be tutors!"

"..." Xu Tingran stared at her blankly for a moment, "Extraordinary bone structure?"

"Um... let's not worry about that for now. Anyway, if you have good grades, you can tutor. Post your profile on local social media platforms and leave your contact information. Maybe someone will contact you."

Xu Tingran looked tired, conspicuous and distant. "I can only learn by myself, I can't teach."

"...It's okay, let's try something else. Everyone has their own expertise."

Xu Tingran found it strange that this silly boy was so persistent in finding him a job. A subtle smile appeared on his lips. "But I don't know how to do anything else."

At this moment, the fan short-circuited, and the fan head slowly stopped with a creaking sound, and the fan blades also gradually stopped rotating.

The air was stuffy and hot.

A thin layer of sweat appeared on Xu Tingran's forehead, and his black T-shirt was gradually stained with dark marks from the sweat.

A sense of irritation also arose in my heart.

He frowned slightly, a hint of impatience creeping in. Even the slight urge to tease this silly boy that had just arisen gradually turned into annoyance.

He was just about to tell her to leave...

next second.

"If you can do so well even with something as difficult as the college entrance exam, what else can't you learn or do well?"

Xu Tingran was somewhat surprised that she would say such encouraging words.

He applied for many jobs, but many people disliked his spoiled, pampered demeanor and were unwilling to hire him.

Everyone is looking to hire employees to make money for them; nobody wants a nuisance.

Some people who knew about his family background even mocked him, saying he was just an empty shell propped up by his family and that without his parents' money, he was nothing.

Hmph, he actually thought what they said made a lot of sense.

He is nothing without the money from his family.

“When I went to look for jobs before, they all thought I would just mess things up.”

"Of course they'll find someone to exploit and work like a slave for them. If that person doesn't meet their quota, of course they'll look down on them..."

You don't need to worry about those social rules, because you'll be starting your own company and making your own rules in the future.

"What?" Xu Tingran frowned at her. "You know what will happen in the future?"

"..." Yun Yao bit her hand in fright. How could she have revealed the rest of the story!

You're so talkative, you say everything!

"Tell me, what kind of company will I start in the future?"

Xu Tingran's lips are naturally slightly upturned, giving people the illusion of extreme gentleness, but in reality, her words carry a cold and interrogative tone.

"..."

Friendly reminder from the system.

[Host, it doesn't matter if you say you're his future girlfriend, because he'll gradually forget you and only remember what happened.]

[...]

Yun Yao honestly answered him, "You will start an IT company in the future. You and your senior will attract investment and start a business together. Although it will be a bit tough at the beginning, it will go very smoothly later on."

Such an outrageous thing... predicting the future? Ridiculous.

But coming from her, it actually sounded quite true.

"anything else?"

"...You'll meet a wonderful girl in college, lively and cheerful, and you'll feel happy just seeing her."

Let's leave the tragic story of the second male lead for now.

Xu Tingran looked at her casually, "And what about you? What role are you in this story?"

“I…” Yun Yao hesitated for a moment, then smiled at him, “Guess?”

Xu Tingran flicked her forehead with her finger, "Guessing my foot."

"Ouch..." Yun Yao covered her forehead, glared at him, and was about to say that it hurt a lot, but then, "Hey, why doesn't it hurt?"

Xu Tingran pursed his thin lips slightly. He had stopped using his strength. How could she feel pain? What a silly girl.

"I'm going to take a shower. Go stand outside the door."

Why should I go outside?

Xu Tingran glanced at the bathroom without a door. "What do you think?"

"..."

Yun Yao slowly floated to the door. "Call me when you're done washing up."

"understood."

After taking a shower, Xu Tingran picked up her phone from the table, opened the door, and went out.

Yun Yao was pacing around against the wall when she saw him come out and smelled the pleasant scent of his shower gel...

It's not just the scent of the shower gel; there's another very attractive aroma as well.

I hadn't paid much attention before, but after taking a closer sniff now, it smells surprisingly good.

Seeing the gleam in her eyes, Xu Tingran said with disdain, "You idiot, do you really want to absorb my yang energy?"

"..." Yun Yao blinked, and after a brief moment of daze, she still felt that his scent was getting better and better, and she wanted to stick to him and never come down!

She silently moved a few steps to the side, "...I didn't mean to absorb your yang energy."

"...", they've run so far out of guilt, what else could it be but trying to absorb yang energy?

[System, what's going on with me?]

[Um... the protagonist has very strong energy, and you, host, are currently in a soul form, making you prone to weakness. It's normal for you to be attracted to the protagonist and want to get close and absorb their energy.]

[…Damn system, is there something else you haven't said?]

[...It is suggested that the host secretly absorb energy by sticking to the protagonist while he is asleep at night, because the host's soul can only replenish energy within the system space, so...you know.]

[...]

Xu Tingran went to a shopping mall, changed into a mascot costume, and handed out flyers on the roadside.

Yun Yao floated along beside him, following him wherever he went.

"I thought you were unemployed."

"Starve to death without a job?"

"...", seeing how he acted like he was going to commit suicide during the day, she thought he was really giving up.

So the next step is to prevent him from being exploited by a heartless boss... and then fire him after he's only worked a few days without being paid.

I still need to find a proper job, preferably one introduced by an acquaintance, as that's more reliable.

It was three hours later when Xu Tingran finished her work.

He went back to the staff area to change out of the mascot costume and walked out of the mall.

Yun Yao waited for him at the door and could smell his scent from afar. Although it was mostly the smell of sweat, it wasn't unpleasant. "You're all wet."

My hair was soaked with sweat, and water droplets clung to the ends, dripping down.

Sweat dripped from the ends of his hair down his neck and onto his collarbone.

Xu Tingran casually wiped his short-sleeved shirt by the collar, revealing a glimpse of his lean waist and abs beneath the hem.

Around eight or nine o'clock, he sat in a corner of a flower bed on the street, enjoying the evening breeze and casually taking a bite of bread.

Yun Yao was also a little hungry, but not in her stomach...

She quietly moved closer to him.
