The white-haired school beauty sighs every day, yet he keeps getting stronger.

Zhang Ziyang's confidence in saying this was naturally based on some reason.

In recent days, Huangfu Yue has been too "bold" in front of him.

Although the specific reason is unclear, it should be that people trust him more than before.

This is a good thing.

After all, living under the same roof and having a harmonious relationship is better than disliking each other.

Huangfu Yue said this morning that she would come to see him morning and evening for the next two days.

He certainly doesn't lack opportunities to deliver gifts on behalf of his uncle.

only……

Huangfu Yue will most likely come to him dressed as a cat-eared maid.

Given how cool it was, what if Aunt Zhao and Uncle saw it?

He'd be in deep trouble even if he jumped into the Yellow River!

At that time, it will probably not be him giving Huangfu Yue a gift, but Huangfu Yue bringing a fruit basket to visit him at the hospital and asking him if the hospital's WiFi is fast!

The thought of this possibility sent a chill down Zhang Ziyang's spine, and he felt an unprecedented amount of pressure.

If this isn't handled properly, then it'll be shipped out!

Huangfu, unaware of his thoughts, changed his mood from gloomy to cheerful and handed the gift box to Zhang Ziyang.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Ziyang!"

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. There's another matter I need to ask Uncle and Aunt Zhao for help with." Zhang Ziyang waved his hands repeatedly.

"What is it? Speak freely!" Huangfu Ji waved his hand.

Zhang Ziyang looked at the two people in front of him, carefully choosing his words:

"This matter isn't exactly difficult, but it's not exactly simple either. The key is to give her some time to process things psychologically. I can then mediate and guide her, and there shouldn't be any problems. But you all know Huangfuyue's personality. If there are other people present during the conversation, she'll most likely turn around and leave. So what I'm thinking is that if you and Aunt Zhao don't have anything important to do these next few days, try not to go upstairs. Otherwise, it might trigger her rebellious side, and that would be difficult to handle!"

The matter was of great importance, and he had to give the two of them a heads-up beforehand.

To avoid any mishaps later.

Huangfu Ji and Zhao Rouyun exchanged a glance and agreed, finding the idea reasonable.

"Row!"

Seeing that the two agreed, Zhang Ziyang breathed a sigh of relief and then took his leave to return to his room.

He had just placed the gift box on the table and stretched when the friendly notification from the system rang in his mind.

"Ding!"

[Sticking Task Released]

Requirements: Holding hands

Target: Huangfu Yue

Time limit: 12 hours

Reward: System upgrade, loading new feature modules

Note: Hand in hand, my good friend, love will always be with you!

After reading the mission information, Zhang Ziyang raised an eyebrow, showing interest.

System upgrade? New feature module?

This is quite interesting.

I don't know what new features will be available after the upgrade.

But most of it is still related to stickers.

As for this mission, it wasn't particularly difficult.

He's already mastered the challenging lap pillow position, so holding hands is a piece of cake for him.

Moreover, the system doesn't restrict the form; as long as you hold hands, it's considered a success.

This gives us a lot more room to maneuver.

Zhang Ziyang's eyes darted around, and he already had an idea in mind.

……

The moon is bright and the stars are few; a cool breeze is blowing.

At 11 p.m., incandescent light shone through the crack in Zhang Ziyang's bedroom door.

Clearly, the people inside are still awake.

Huangfu Yue changed into her "work clothes" and tiptoed to the door to clock in.

After spending some time back in her room, she has calmed down considerably.

She didn't really hate her father.

After all, blood is thicker than water. I'm just angry that he has neglected his family all these years and I can't find him whenever I need him.

Once or twice is fine, but if it keeps happening, no one can withstand it.

Over time, this opinion naturally deepened.

Besides that, there is another reason.

That is, after being separated for so long, Huangfu Yue really didn't know how to get along with her father.

Even when we're together, we don't have much to talk about.

Seeing his face always reminds me of what I've been through all these years, and I can't help but feel resentful...

"Ugh!"

Huangfu Yue sighed.

A rare hint of helplessness appeared on that usually aloof face.

Even a prophetic woman has her troubles.

As usual, she took off her hair clip and was about to unlock the door when it suddenly creaked open by itself.

"Ok?"

Huangfu Yue was stunned for a moment, still not back to her senses.

A hand reached out from behind the door.

He grabbed her hand and pulled her inside.

……

[Successfully paired up, mission complete]

[System upgrade begins, 24-hour countdown]

No tasks will be posted during this period, but normal functionality will not be affected.

Ignoring the system notification in his head, Zhang Ziyang pulled Huangfu Yue into the room and then peeked out from behind the door to look around.

Seeing that everything was normal and that Huangfu Ji and Zhao Rouyun were no longer in sight, he finally felt a little relieved.

But he still turned back cautiously and asked:

"Um... did your uncle and aunt see you when you came?"

Seeing his neurotic appearance, Huangfu Yue felt her annoyance ease considerably for some reason.

She shook her head:

No, are you worried about them seeing you?

Zhang Ziyang strode to the table, pulled out a chair, sat down, picked up his water glass, and replied:

"Of course! Look at the state of your attire! If Uncle and Aunt Zhao see you like this, I won't be able to explain myself even if I have ten mouths. People will think I've caught you doing something wrong and forced you to wear this to my room to do something naughty!"

"..."

Huangfu Yue clenched her small fists and remained silent.

From a certain perspective, that's really the case.

If she hadn't lost the first comparison, how could she have possibly come to his room wearing such an embarrassingly revealing outfit?

I wake you up every morning and lull you to sleep every night.

It's as if she really has some strange fetish!

There's a saying that goes: "No gambler loses every day, and no child cries every day."

Next time we compete, Huangfu Yue must win!

Without realizing it, a flag was set...

Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhang Ziyang took the initiative to start a conversation:

"Getting back to the point, you came to my room in the morning to wake me up, and you came in the evening to... well, to say goodnight?"

Huangfu Yue stretched out her long legs and sat down a seat next to him, her face expressionless:

"And it was all to lull you to sleep."

Zhang Ziyang's expression froze after hearing this.

There was only one thought in my mind.

?

After a long pause, he finally managed to squeeze out two words.

"Aha?"

When Huangfu Yue saw Zhang Ziyang's shocked expression, as if to say "Are you out of your mind?", she instantly felt her cheeks heat up, and she felt like digging a three-bedroom, two-living-room house out of the floor with her toes.

She wouldn't have done this if it weren't for the system task she was forced to do!

Zhang Ziyang scratched his head:

"Um...can I ask why? Why?"

Put him to sleep...

He could understand each of the few simple words, but when they were put together, he couldn't quite make them out!

what is this?

Want to experience what it's like to be a mother?

How to unleash one's overflowing maternal love that has nowhere to go?

You bastard Huangfu Yue!

I treated you like a friend, but you treat me like a son?!

"cannot!"

Huangfu Yue's voice suddenly rose two octaves, sounding somewhat embarrassed and angry.

How could such a thing possibly be explained clearly?

It will only make things worse!

Since that's the case, then let's not bother explaining!

Zhang Ziyang protested in a low voice: "But I'm not sleepy yet."

It was only a little past eleven o'clock, and he wanted to read a little more and watch some short videos before going to sleep.

Huangfu Yue leaned closer, bringing a fragrant breeze with her, and pressed him down with her hand, saying expressionlessly:

No, you're sleepy!

Zhang Ziyang: (￣w￣;)

He finally understood.

Huangfu Yue was determined to coax him to sleep.

Although I don't know why, it's a good opportunity.

So, the boy, cornered at the foot of the bed, blinked, pointed to the gift box on the table, and weakly replied:

"If you accept it, then I might as well stay here."

Huangfu Yue was shocked.

This guy actually threatened her?

Go against Tiangang!
