After reading my mind, everyone collectively begged me to watch the drama unfold!

[Haha, Su Chen once confessed his feelings to a girl, but she rejected him. Haha, the reason she was rejected was that she didn't want to date a Black man, as it would affect her offspring.]

[He was numb, but Su Chen hadn't turned completely black, had he? For the next few days, Su Chen secretly applied something to his face.]

[Cucumber slices, potato slices, and even egg whites were given, but after a few days, the student gave up and was punished by his grandparents for wasting food.]

[Hahaha, what's Su Chen thinking? He must look hilarious!]

The others looked at Su Chen's face more closely, and yes, it was indeed quite dark-skinned; no wonder the girls commented that way.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Su Chen spoke even more enthusiastically.

If Su Chen knew what everyone was thinking, he would definitely retort loudly: He just got tanned from doing farm work since he was a child, it's all the sun's fault.

[Hey, I've been wanting to say this for a while now, but none of these scandals have photos or videos. Just reading the text is a bit dry. You need to upgrade your approach.]

[Well, I don't have the authority to do that either, host. But I remember the system can be upgraded. Let me check. Ah, it really can be upgraded.]

[It can be upgraded! Why didn't you say so sooner!] Lin Guiyi was genuinely shocked.

"I...I forgot, host, I came to you as soon as I was created," the system's pitiful voice rang out.

"I know you're a newbie, but it seems like all you do is think about TV dramas and novels." Lin Guiyi ruthlessly exposed him.

Who would read such a long explanation?

Okay, let's not dwell on that. What's the upgrade status?

Beside him, Yan Cigui's eyes darkened. This system can even be upgraded; I wonder what will happen next? I hope it's not too overpowered.

Gu Qingye frowned, hoping things wouldn't go beyond expectations.

Those present who could hear Lin Guiyi's inner thoughts all had their own ulterior motives.

Aside from Xu Feng and Jin Lanlan, they didn't care about any of that. Everyone already knew about the big news anyway. Seeing the thoughtful looks in the eyes of the others, they chuckled to themselves and continued chatting indifferently.

[Ahhh, host, host, we're just a little bit away from leveling up!]

[Great, what's the calculation method for this upgrade?]

[Regarding the content of the gossip, depending on how explosive the gossip is, gossip about characters who have a role in the novel tends to see a rapid increase in data.]

[Yes, hopefully the upgrade will allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the gossip.]

Lin Guiyi is very excited and looking forward to what the system will look like after the upgrade.

The system was also very happy, as it already knew that the system would become more and more feature-rich and powerful after the upgrade.

Well, it always wanted to become the most powerful system, but it only talked about it and didn't know how.

Thinking about the bigwigs in the management bureau, Xiao San and Si were very excited, feeling like they were about to reach the pinnacle of their lives.

{Not yet, but I've already taken a screenshot. A handsome man and a beautiful woman are sitting on the grass, so pretty.}

{Everyone's looking at Su Chen's face. It's nothing, he's just a little dark-skinned.}

{Lin Guiyi is so relaxed. Gu Qingye is sitting right next to her. I've noticed that Gu Qingye always stays by Lin Guiyi's side when she has nothing else to do.}

Phew... Lin Guiyi slowed down and decided to check out Su Chen's gossip.

Su Chen has been a left-behind child for several years, and his parents haven't been home for seven or eight years.

Lin Guiyi frowned and looked down.

[Ugh, these parents are absolutely inhuman! How can they be such parents?!]

Lin Guiyi's excited voice attracted everyone's attention, and they all listened quietly.

Su Chen's parents had already had another son in another city, and the child was already 5 years old! Su Chen was completely unaware of all this.

[Ahhh, the important thing is that his grandparents all know, but they just won't tell Su Chen.]

[Damn, Su Chen's parents already bought a house in the city and had stable jobs. They just felt they weren't close to their eldest son and hadn't lived with him, so they were afraid they wouldn't be able to raise him properly and simply had another child.]

"This is infuriating!" Lin Guiyi sat up, grabbed a handful of grass from the ground, and tore it apart violently.

What kind of parents are these! What kind of grandparents are these!

They've already discussed it and decided to leave Su Chen in the countryside. He has a good relationship with his grandparents, so they'll feel more at ease taking care of him. His grandparents also think it's a good idea and have tacitly agreed.

【Pah! Disgusting!】

This disgusting feeling is unlike anything I've ever experienced before; it's so despicable!

These adults just like that, Shui Lingling decided Su Chen's future.

[Ahhh, I'm going crazy! My grandparents pretended to be sick during Su Chen's college entrance exam, causing him to miss it. Now Su Chen is wholeheartedly taking care of them, getting up before dawn to do chores.]

Lin Guiyi was truly angry! The college entrance exam! All for his own selfish desires.

Lin Guiyi really wanted to hit someone, and frantically tore at the grass.

Ugh, I want to swear!

The person who was chatting with Su Chen paused, their gaze turning complicated before quickly fading away.

Born into this kind of family, Su Chen is the unluckiest man ever!

"Lin Guiyi, let's go back."

"Huh?" She paused abruptly. Lin Guiyi looked up at Yan Cigui standing in front of her.

"It's almost time to go back. Aren't you hungry? Besides, look at you, all puffed up." Yan Cigui reached out and tapped Lin Guiyi's puffed-up cheek.

I'm so angry!

Yan Cigui said to himself, "Let's have a competition. Whoever gets to the courtyard gate first will have to be the other's little follower for a day, anytime."

"Really? No cheating?" Lin Guiyi asked in surprise. If he won, he could order Yan Cigui around in all sorts of ways.

Yan Cigui raised an eyebrow: "Of course."

{What happened to Lin Guiyi? He suddenly got angry and even vented his anger on the grass, haha, so cute!}

{Lin Guiyi and Yan Cigui get along so sweetly! Yan Cigui touched Lin Guiyi's face and he wasn't angry at all, even though he had already slapped away Yan Cigui's wandering hand earlier.}

{We need a competition! Make sure it's not just some lighthearted banter between young lovers. I hope Lin Guiyi wins; I want to see Yan Cigui groveling and submissive!}

{They didn't say they were fulfilling a promise on the show.}

{Whatever, we'll be together someday anyway, just thinking about it gets me excited, it's really happening!}

When the two inquired about other details, everyone said they would just walk back slowly.

Lin Guiyi and Yan Ci returned to the road and stood in a straight line.

"Ready, go!" The two started running.

Lin Guiyi ran forward with light steps. The competition with Yan Cigui, a boy, did not make her nervous. On the contrary, it filled her with high fighting spirit and made her desire to defeat Yan Cigui reach its peak.

Time seemed to fly by, and the courtyard gate was right in front of us.

call…

In the end, Yan Cigui won the match.

Lin Guiyi stopped, panting heavily, "You won, you're awesome."

"You're amazing too!" Yan Cigui said sincerely.

The girl in front of him had a flushed face from exercise, bright, dazzling eyes, and a wide smile on her lips. Yan Cigui looked at her intently, as if trying to etch Lin Guiyi's smile deep into her heart.

"Now, you feel much better, right?"

"I feel much better, thank you." Lin Guiyi knew that Yan Cigui had suggested going for a run because she felt uncomfortable, and her impression of Yan Cigui had been steadily improving over this period of time.

"Haha, then remember to be my little follower from now on," Yan Cigui reminded him.

“I remember, you set the time.” Lin Guiyi was not one to renege on his promises.

"Okay, I like your personality."

The two entered the courtyard, where the production crew had already prepared dinner.

"It's barbecue!"
