Since the system became my girlfriend

The dock manager was visibly taken aback upon seeing the letter. After he recovered, he immediately looked around to make sure no one was nearby before lowering his voice and saying to Su Rui, "Come with me!"

Su Rui and Feng Lixi quietly boarded the ship, following behind the dock manager.

"This way!" The dock manager led Su Rui and his companion into the cabin and then continued down to a secluded compartment. He then told them, "Stay here and don't go out. There will be an inspection before the ship departs. Once the ship leaves port, you can come out. This ship will take you to the coast of the East China Sea!"

"Okay, thank you!" Su Rui said to the dock manager.

"We're all brothers, no need for such formalities!" the dock manager said to Su Rui with a smile, before turning and leaving the ship.

Su Rui and Feng Lixi remained in the small and secluded cabin, their eyes meeting in the dim light.

As the saying goes, "The more you look at a beauty under the lamp, the more enchanting she becomes!" At this moment, Su Rui found Feng Lixi to be more and more beautiful, and before he knew it, his lecherous nature was almost showing.

Feng Lixi, standing to the side, kept her head down, her face flushed with embarrassment at Su Rui's passionate gaze. The truth was, Feng Lixi only felt the intensity of Su Rui's gaze because she considered him her boyfriend. While feeling shy, she also felt a little delighted. If anyone else had dared to look at her like that, they would have been beaten to a pulp as a pervert.

"Xiao Xi, you're so beautiful!" Su Rui said, leaning close to Feng Lixi.

"..." At this moment, Feng Lixi was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to look up. How could she dare to respond?

"An opportunity!" Su Rui's eyes lit up. He had a lot of experience in flirting with girls, and seeing Feng Lixi's posture, he knew his chance had come. He wouldn't be like those newbies who would ask silly questions like "Can I kiss you?"

Boss Su pouted and went straight for Feng Lixi's small mouth!

Feng Lixi knew, of course, that Su Rui was trying to take advantage of her. She was conflicted. Although she felt it was too early to be so intimate and that it would make her seem frivolous, she had developed feelings for Su Rui after accepting him as her boyfriend. Out of curiosity about this unknown experience and her longing for the beautiful love stories she had read about in books, Feng Lixi also wanted to try the feeling of kissing.

As Su Rui's large mouth approached, Feng Lixi slightly closed her eyes.

"It's done!" Seeing the girl's submissive attitude, Su Rui knew he had succeeded today!

But at that moment, chaos suddenly broke out inside the cabin.

"Take a look over there!"

"Check for any contraband!"

"Don't worry, sir. We're in the shipping business every day. What rules don't we know? How could we possibly smuggle contraband?"

"You didn't bring any illegal immigrants, did you?"

"Then there's even less chance!"

"Although I am willing to believe you, rules are rules, and routine checks cannot be omitted."

"I see!"

Immediately following was a faint clinking sound of gold coins. Although the sound was not loud, anyone who knew what they were talking about could tell that there were at least ten gold coins in the money bag.

"Oh! Someone's here!" The slightest noise startled Feng Lixi, who was already being cautious. She then broke free from Su Rui's embrace like a little rabbit, blushing and hiding to the side, not even daring to look at Su Rui.

"Damn it!" Su Rui had never wanted to curse so much before. Of all times, these NPCs conducting routine checks had to come and cause trouble at this crucial moment. If they had arrived ten seconds later, Boss Su could have gotten the girl's first kiss.

Now, Feng Lixi is like a frightened little rabbit, full of vigilance towards Su Rui. It will take a lot of effort to coax her back to that atmosphere!

Although he was furious, Boss Su was, after all, an illegal immigrant, so he didn't dare to rush out and cause trouble for the people inspecting the cabin. Therefore, he could only squat in the corner and sulk.

About five minutes later, the noise outside subsided. The bribe of a dozen or so gold coins was not given for nothing. As expected, the inspectors did not come to this cabin. After going through the motions, they disembarked and left.

The ship then left the port and sailed along the river toward the sea.

“Xiao Xi…” Su Rui came to Feng Lixi’s side and tried to create that warm atmosphere again, but Feng Lixi was full of vigilance this time.

"We've only just met, I'm not ready yet, can you... can you not be in such a hurry?" Feng Lixi asked timidly. Although she was a super artificial intelligence, now that she had gained self-awareness, she was just a young girl experiencing her first love, so she was very anxious about this kind of thing.

She was unable to adapt to such close contact with Su Rui so quickly, but she was also afraid that rejecting Su Rui would cause a change in their relationship. Therefore, she spoke very cautiously, which was in stark contrast to her identity as the second-generation super artificial intelligence Nuwa.

“Uh…” Su Rui was stunned. Although he was a girl-chasing maniac and had flirted with countless girls, most of them hoped to gain benefits from him in the game, which is why they were close to him. Rather than having feelings, it was more like they were mutually benefiting.

But this time was different. Su Rui could sense that Feng Lixi genuinely wanted to develop a simple relationship.

After realizing this, Su Rui suddenly realized that he was being quite a jerk. Although he was initially captivated by Feng Lixi's beauty, just like before, he had no intention of dating. He was just using his status as a professional gamer to give the girl some small favors and take advantage of her.

So at this moment, Su Rui suddenly felt very disgusted, that he had defiled the pure girl in front of him.

“Okay! I won’t force you to do anything you don’t want to do until you’re ready,” Su Rui said softly to Feng Lixi. He felt a surge of emotion; he also wanted to experience a real relationship.

"Thank you!" Feng Lixi glanced shyly at Su Rui, and then, taking advantage of his inattention, she suddenly tiptoed and puckered her lips to give him a light peck on the cheek. But the soft touch only lasted for a moment before the girl ran far away, leaving Su Rui no chance to press his advantage.

"You silly girl..." Su Rui found Feng Lixi's timid appearance somewhat amusing.

"You're not angry with me, are you?" Feng Lixi asked.

"How could that be!" Su Rui took two steps forward, then took Feng Lixi's small hand and said, "I know you're not used to it yet, but I'll wait until you accept the intimacy between us."

"Mmm!" Feng Lixi hugged Su Rui's arm and leaned on his shoulder. At this moment, the girl's heart was full of sweetness. She felt that her attempt was correct, and she liked this sweet feeling very much.
