There was no rush with the clothes, so Shu Ran breathed a sigh of relief and told Xiao Er to take her time and make several more.

The fear of people starving to death must be human!

Shu Ran wasn't sure, but looking at the body, cough cough, it was a normal male body structure, the only difference being that it was more attractive than a human.

It's even prettier than Xinglan.

Shu Ran took out a bottle of nutrient solution that she had kept in her space for a long time without drinking it. It was still fresh, so she pinched his chin and fed him a bottle.

I'm a bit troubled. Where did this person come from? Is he legal?

Was he abducted or taken in by the system?

The system is frantically calling for help to send the person back.

This gift is too hot for him to handle!

No matter how good-looking she is, Shu Ran wouldn't dare accept her!

Even those obsessed with appearances must give way before the law.

【Dear Experience Officer, may I ask how I can help you?】

Shu Ran was taken aback. She was quite polite, but she couldn't be involved in human trafficking!

[Is this person even human? What's his situation? Sending him someone to me is illegal.]

Shu Ran was somewhat incoherent; she was genuinely shocked, as this had crossed her moral line.

[Please rest assured, our company would never engage in illegal activities. This was neither kidnapping nor sheltering; he approached us himself and signed a contract, choosing you as his contractor. You can discuss the details after he regains consciousness. Due to privacy concerns, we cannot disclose further information.]

Shu Ran was speechless. Others had choices, so why didn't she?

What about my safety? Is it guaranteed? And you sent this person here without knowing anything about them. What if they're a heinous criminal who endangers me and my country? Don't you have any explanation?

[Please rest assured, our clients are all of impeccable character and morals! Furthermore, as their contractor, you exert a certain degree of constraint on them, ensuring they will never do anything to harm them. They trust you as much as they trust our company.]

Don't worry, don't worry. It would be a miracle if she could relax. She knows nothing, so how could she relax?

[Can't I really take it back? To be honest, I didn't really want this coming-of-age gift.]

No, the moment he left your system inventory, he had already signed a contract with you and become bound to you.

Shu Ran was speechless quite a few times today. Couldn't she have said so earlier?

If she had known, she wouldn't have let him out.

Okay, okay! Now you should leave!

Shu Ran dismissed the system; the cheat system was practically nonexistent, and the system's customer service seemed useless as well.

Looking at the long-haired handsome man wrapped up tightly on the bed, Shu Ran felt no admiration whatsoever; only two words filled her mind: troublesome!

Forget it, let's wait until he wakes up before we talk about it! After all, it was his own choice.

It was already late at night, and Shu Ran was exhausted after all that fuss.

As the countdown continued, the person on the bed remained obediently lying in the position she had laid down.

Shu Ran yawned, and glistening tears wet her eyelashes.

Shu Ran closed the door and returned to her room.

Have a good night's sleep.

As expected, Gou Xinglan came over on her birthday and brought her a carefully prepared birthday gift. He didn't leave until the evening.

Before going to bed, Xiao Er washed and brought up the men's clothes that had been hastily made. Only then did Shu Ran remember that there was someone in the room two doors down from her bedroom!

I haven't eaten anything all day, I hope I don't starve myself.

For three days, Shu Ran went over every night to give the person a bottle of nutrient solution to maintain their bodily functions.

On the third day, Shu Ran went to bed early and set an alarm for the night.

"Dingling bell~"

Shu Ran, who was sleeping soundly, struggled to get out of bed, changed into her pajamas, and went to the room next door in her slippers.

I turned on the light, pulled over a chair, sat on the edge of the bed, and watched the countdown reset to zero.

What eyes they were! They seemed to hold a sky full of stars, clear yet unfathomable.

They stared at each other for an unknown amount of time without saying a word, simply gazing at each other silently, without any hidden meaning.

After a long while, Shu Ran snapped out of her amazement, and a sense of vigilance instantly rose in her eyes.

His gaze was too alluring, so Shu Ran lowered her eyes to avoid his gaze.

"Your name is Yunxi?"

"Yes, hello, Shu Ran."

Moving her heavily wrapped body, Yunxi stretched out her arm, trying to sit up from the bed.

"Wait, wait, wait. You didn't have any clothes when you came. I'll go out first, you can put on some clothes, they're all new. We can talk in detail later."

The prepared clothes had been placed next to her pillow long ago. Shu Ran stood up, walked out, and closed the door.

Soon, sounds came from inside the house.

"I'm all better, Ranran, come in!"

Shu Ran was puzzled by his overly familiar manner, but she didn't care about the way he addressed her. Getting to the bottom of things was the most important thing, so she pushed the door open and came in.

The clothes fit him fairly well, though a little small. Looking at his long hair hanging down his back, Shu Ran silently handed him a wooden hairpin.

"Thank you, Ranran!"

Yunxi took the hairpin with some surprise and quickly styled her hair.

"sit."

Shu Ran sat down on the sofa first.

Yunxi sat down beside her, her peach blossom eyes quietly watching Shuran.

"Can we talk? About your situation."

Shu Ran sat up straight, poured him a glass of water, and moved slightly to create some distance between herself and Yun Xi.

"Of course, Ranran, what do you want to know?"

"Your background, your relationship with the system, and other such questions."

Shu Ran listed several items.

"My name is Yunxi, I am 18 years old, and I come from Haotian Continent. I am at the Golden Core stage, but after arriving here, I was suppressed to the Qi Refining stage. Because of a non-existent treasure, my whole family was killed, and only I escaped with the help of my family. Later, I encountered endless pursuit and assassination attempts."

"In a secret realm, I encountered something that called itself a system, and I made a deal with it. That's how I ended up here."

Yunxi quickly explained her situation in just a few words.

"Gone?"

Although he is a beautiful, strong, and tragic character, Shu Ran doesn't consider herself a heroine in a redemption novel. While she sympathizes with his plight, she won't easily let her guard down.

"Well, no more."

Yunxi nodded and looked at Shuran.

Shu Ran remained silent, her response was unusually brief and avoided the main points.

"May I ask what your transaction with the system is? Also, why did you choose me?"

Yunxi was a little embarrassed, her cheeks flushed, and she looked away slightly when she saw Shuran: "Okay."

"The terms of the deal are: the system will help me take revenge, and I will choose a contractor within a given range to become that contractor's husband and never betray him."

"I chose you based on my intuition. My intuition is usually very accurate. You gave me the best feeling among all the people at first glance, and my intuition also told me to choose you."

"Are you sure you haven't been brainwashed or had your memories altered by the system?"

Shu Ran's paranoia kicked in.
