Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

I sent a message: "What are you doing?"

About ten minutes later, they sent back a picture.

Clicking on the picture reveals a small kitchen where Gu Chuxia is holding her phone, smiling at the camera, with an elderly man smiling beside her.

The scene looked heartwarming, and Gu Chuxia even replied with a comment.

[Preparing dinner with my grandmother.]

Qian San opened the picture and looked at it for a while, feeling that Gu Chuxia's smile was warm.

She clearly lives in a warm and loving environment. Although I haven't seen her parents, I imagine her maternal grandmother must treat her very well.

"You can cook?" he replied with a smile.

Of course I can, I'm a pretty good cook.

[Very impressive.]

After reading it, Gu Chuxia didn't reply to him again. Instead, she helped her grandmother bring the prepared dishes to the table.

Qian Sanyi chatted with Gu Chuxia for a while, which did indeed divert his attention.

He put on his headphones and immersed himself in his own world until he had dinner, at which point he left the room.

After the winter break ended, it was time for school to start again, and Gu Chuxia and Qian Sanyi could only chat on their phones.

During this period, Gu Chuxia's favorability rating remained unchanged.

The strategy system kept urging Sanyi to spend money, but he wasn't in a hurry.

"There's no use in you being anxious. We're still in high school, and our focus is on our studies. You can't expect me to interfere with her studies!"

The strategy system paused for a moment: "Alright, as long as you don't slack off, we can talk about it later."

Qian Sanyi curled the corners of his lips: "Yeah, I definitely won't."

Being urged to do something by the system is definitely less pleasant than doing it voluntarily.

He looked at his phone and saw the news that Gu Chuxia had agreed to go see the latest movie together this weekend, and a smile appeared on his lips.

On Sunday afternoon, Gu Chuxia ate lunch, said goodbye to her grandmother, and went back to her room to change her clothes.

I randomly picked a dress, looked in the mirror, and seeing nothing wrong with it, I grabbed my backpack and headed out the door.

"Host, aren't you going to dress up a bit?"

"Putting aside my natural beauty, we're still just ordinary friends, so there's no need to exaggerate. Just be natural."

Xiao Qi nodded as if she understood: "What the host said makes sense."

"Haven't you read a lot of novels and watched a lot of TV dramas?" Gu Chuxia said with a smile as she looked at it.

"Human thought is still too complex to be fully understood."

"Haha, humans are indeed the most complex creatures."

When Gu Chuxia arrived at the movie theater entrance, she saw Qian Sanyi dressed in a white shirt and black pants.

He came up to me with a smile and said, "You've arrived! The movie is about to start, let's go in!"

Gu Chuxia nodded: "Okay."

"Would you like to buy something to eat?"

"Sure, I'd like an ice cream!"

"Then let's go pick one!"

After buying their things, the two went into the theater and found their seats.

The movie was a science fiction film, and Gu Chuxia watched it intently, occasionally exchanging a few words with him.

As Qian Sanyi was talking to her, he noticed that Gu Chuxia was licking her ice cream, and for some reason, he felt a little thirsty.

He shifted his gaze somewhat awkwardly, focusing his attention on the movie.

"I'm going straight back to school later. Are you staying at the dorm?" Gu Chuxia asked in a low voice.

Qian Sanyi was still immersed in the scene just now, and his reaction was a beat slow before he spoke: "I don't live in the dormitory, but I can eat in the cafeteria in the evening and then attend evening self-study."

"It's so convenient to live nearby!"

Do you like living at home?

Gu Chuxia nodded: "Yes, I like Grandma's cooking, but my home is a bit far from school, so I can't go back and forth."

"Where are your parents? I've never heard you mention them before!"

The two leaned closer and spoke in hushed tones, making them seem somewhat like a young couple.

“They got divorced and each has their own family. I live with my maternal grandmother.”

"Feel sorry!"

Gu Chuxia smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, I really enjoy living with my grandma, I'm very happy."

Seeing her like this, Qian Sanyi was a little envious of her optimistic attitude.

"It's obvious that Grandma treats you very well!"

"Of course, Grandma is the best person to me."

"That's good." Qian Sanyi saw in her a free and easy attitude that he himself lacked.

After the two finished watching the movie and walked out of the cinema, Qian Sanyi said, "I came by bicycle. It's not far from the school. Let me give you a ride!"

The bicycle seat was something he specially added yesterday.

Gu Chuxia smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

Upon arriving at the school gate, the two parted ways, with Gu Chuxia heading to her dormitory first.

Time flew by, and after the college entrance examination, Gu Chuxia was admitted to Tsinghua University.

Qian Sanyi is still a senior in high school, and the two are currently in a period of ambiguity, just one step away from confessing their feelings.

Over the course of a year, Gu Chuxia's favorability rating reached 62, indicating that she already had feelings for him.

During summer vacation, Gu Chuxia worked part-time. After Qian Sanyi found out, he went to the coffee shop where she worked every day and sat there for two hours at a time.

If it weren't for the difficulty of explaining things at home, he probably would have sat there all afternoon.

Gu Chuxia was making coffee for a customer, while Qian Sanyi sat where he could see her, reading a book and occasionally glancing up at her.

A glass of Americano was placed in front of him, and Qian Sanyi looked up from his book.

He then saw Gu Chuxia, wearing an apron and standing in front of him, smiling. She asked, "Would you like an Americano?"

Her smiling face made Qian Sanyi's gaze linger involuntarily, and he only came back to his senses when he heard her words.

"Yeah, I've gotten used to the American flavor."

Gu Chuxia likes American style, and Qian Sanyi wasn't used to it at first, but he gradually accepted it.

"Please have a seat, I'll get back to work!"

"Okay, go ahead!" He nodded with a smile.

Anyway, Qian Sanyi has gotten used to it recently, and he is content as long as he can see her every day.

Gu Chuxia's favorability +2, current favorability 64

A considerate attitude might make her like him more, Qian Sanyi smiled.

"Host, in the past year or so, you've almost turned the male lead, who's a straight man, into a warm-hearted one. He comes to watch over you and care for you every day!"

"That's the power of love!" Gu Chuxia said as she ground coffee beans.

"I guess it's because it can accurately understand your needs by looking at the host's level of favorability, and you gradually get used to it."

Gu Chuxia said, "This strategy data is quite useful for pursuing people. After you take it, can we use it later?"

That way, you can see how much other people like you.

"Host, the system store sells them!"

"Okay, let's talk about it later!"

Free things are always the best; there's no rush to use things that require points.

Qian Sanyi sat for two hours and finished his coffee.

He walked to the counter and was about to speak when Gu Chuxia smiled and said, "The coffee is on you!"

Qian Sanyi didn't refuse, thinking that there should be reciprocity: "Then I'll bring you some of your favorite snacks from that shop tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you."
