"Amaranth..."

Su Ting had no idea her heart could beat so fast.

"Shh, Tingting, close your eyes and feel it."

Shu Xian was desperate; after spending several days together, her affection level hadn't increased at all. She figured even a little bit would help.

[Su Ting's 'Gaze' +20, Current Progress: 60/60]

Wow, nice!

Upon hearing 006's announcement, Shu Xian loosened her grip and chuckled, "I knew it was fake. Su Ting is so silly, he even played along with me."

Su Ting was left staring at him blankly.

"What are you playing at?"

An Kongyu had just returned from the restroom when she saw Shu Xian laughing heartily.

Shu Xian feigned mystery, "This is a secret between Su Ting and me~"

Shu Xian smiled and winked at Su Ting, her laughter as light as a feather, gently tickling his heart.

"Shu Xian! Aren't we usually the best of friends?"

An Kongyu was unhappy, even though he wasn't as close to Li Ye as he was.

But he's definitely better than Suting and the others.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, come here."

Your turn, your turn.

Shu Xian abandoned Su Ting and pulled An Kongyu to a corner of the garden.

After glancing around to make sure no one was around, she used the same trick again and said to him, "Do you like me? In the romantic way."

Shu Xian was very close to him, and her panting breath after jogging landed on his face.

It's warm and smells nice.

He didn't know how to answer.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Shu Xian started rambling again.

"You know what? If you want to know if someone likes you or not, just hold their hand."

"is it?"

He didn't know, but he wondered why Shu Xian was telling him all this. Did she like him?

"Feel it carefully."

Shu Xian pulled his hand over and held it.

Suting's test results have given him an alarming level of confidence.

He was munching on beef jerky in one hand and holding his hand in the other.

An Kongyu's favorability towards him has already reached 40, and getting another 20 shouldn't be a problem.

Shu Xian finished the beef jerky in her hand, her mouth was tired from chewing, but she still hadn't heard 006's broadcast.

Has it stopped working?

Or is it that An Kongyu doesn't like him that much?

【006, are you broken?】

You're the bad one.

Why wasn't it promoted?

[...]006 was speechless.

It's strange, An Kongyu also held hands and didn't let go, so does that mean he doesn't like it and can let others hold his hand freely?

Shu Xian couldn't understand it.

Amaranth.

Su Ting called to him.

"Hurry up, Su Ting is here. We can't let him find out our little secret."

Shu Xian pulled him away and ran off in another direction. An Kongyu let him pull him along and silently followed behind, jogging as well.

The boy's slender hand clasped his, and for a moment they looked just like the Little Prince running away.

It's like I want to take him away to a place where no one knows us, to live a life just for the two of us...

Su Ting had already lost track of where they had left him, but Shu Xian was still pulling him along as they ran.

"Shu Xian, what exactly are you trying to do?"

An Kongyu pulled him to a stop, staring intently at him, not missing a single expression.

"I just want to know if you like me or not."

"What if I like it?"

An Kongyu asked.

If he likes Shu Xian, will Shu Xian be with him? An Kongyu wondered.

“You probably don’t like it,” Shu Xian answered for him.

The fact that 006 has not been broadcast for so long already speaks volumes.

Shu Xian let go of his hand, wanting to stop this somewhat absurd experiment.

An Kongyu held his shoulders and looked into his eyes.

"Would you like to know how to actually test whether you like someone?"

"Yes, of course I want to," Shu Xian nodded.

He'll have An Kongyu teach him, and then he'll use that knowledge on An Kongyu—perfect.

"That's kissing."

Shu Xian's eyes widened and she shook her head; he didn't want to kiss her.

An Kongyu's large hand had somehow already touched the back of his neck, restraining him from moving.

"If you don't hate this kiss, then you like me."

An Kongyu placed his other hand on Shu Xian's cheek, lowered his head and slowly approached, leaving Shu Xian unable to move.

Oh no, I've gotten myself into this mess.

[006 Help!]

It's just a kiss, it won't hurt you.

006 grabbed some virtual sunflower seeds and started eating them.

Forced kisses and the like are entertaining; it loves to watch them.

Shu Xian was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes.

An Kongyu stopped what she was doing and gently wiped away his tears. "What, are you scared now? Hmm?"

The boy in his arms bit his lip, his eyes filled with tears as he looked at him.

"Sweetie, I won't force you, but if you keep looking at me like that, I can't take it anymore."

Those doe-like eyes make you want to cherish them dearly.

An Kongyu suppressed his inner turmoil, rubbed his forehead, and felt that he was losing control.

He needs to figure out his feelings for Shu Xian.

[An Kongyu's 'Gaze' +30, Current Progress: 70/60]

[Congratulations, host, on completing all tasks.]

One second Shu Xian looked pitiful, on the verge of tears, the next she was so excited she almost jumped up.

[006 Can we go now?]

Once the main system determines the task is complete, you can leave.

But didn't you want to be in a relationship?

006 asked.

[I'm not in the mood for further discussion; those few are eyeing me covetously.]

Shu Lin still won't let him go, this big trouble.

At dinner time, only he and Shu Lin were there; the other two were nowhere to be seen.

Where are my brothers?

“They coveted what didn’t belong to them, so I sent them back.”

Shu Lin said while observing his reaction.

Shu Xian nodded. "Alright, anyway, the task is all done."

"Aren't you sad?"

"Huh? No, it's okay to go back. It's nothing."

It also saves me the trouble of being questioned.

"Baby, baby, may I call you that?"

"I don't want to call you Amaranth like they do."

Shu Lin's voice remained deep and gentle as he gazed at him with deep affection, the doting look in his eyes making Shu Xian feel somewhat suppressed.

Here it comes again, here it comes again, that creepy feeling is back.

"Okay, call me whatever you want, brother."

Shu Xian followed his lead.

"Baby, why did you ask them if they like you today?"

Why don't you ask your brother?

Shu Lin spoke to himself, not wanting to hear his reply.

"Baby, you're so naughty. Your brother likes you, but you still want other people's affection."

"What a greedy and naughty baby."

Shu Lin stood up and stroked his face with her slender fingertips, picking off a grain of rice.

"The baby is so cute, there are rice grains stuck to his face."

After saying that, he ate the rice grains, his expression as if he were savoring some delicious delicacy.

[Waaaaah, 006, I'm scared.]

006 did not respond, but silently observed everything from the shadows.

He wouldn't let Shu Xian get hurt, and at the same time, he wanted Shu Xian to experience it, which would be very helpful for him in his future missions.

Shu Xian sat there motionless, too afraid to move.

"elder brother……"

"Call my name."

“Shu…Lin…”

"Call husband."

……

Shu Xian remained silent for a while, and Shu Lin did not press him.

"Call your husband or drink this glass of milk."
