Chapter 4 is all set for tonight!
"Dr. Wen, I promised to treat you to dinner, you haven't forgotten, have you?"
Lin Hao said flippantly into the phone.
"It's you, Lin Hao! How did you get my phone number?"
Wen Yourong sounded exasperated on the other end of the phone.
"Oh, I don't remember ever mentioning my name to you, how did you know it?"
"Is this the same? Everyone in the entire Trial Town knows your name, Lin Hao, you lucky guy who's afraid of blood!"
"Alright, don't worry about the details. Just consider it as me having admired you for a long time and taking this opportunity to cook for you to express my feelings. Yangzhou City, Mingyue Community, Building 233. Call me when you get there and I'll come out to meet you."
"Beep beep..."
Hearing the dial tone on the phone, Wen Yourong was on the verge of going crazy.
I just glanced at this kid's 'assets' out of curiosity, how come he acts like he can completely control me!
'It's just a meal, huh? Let's see what tricks this kid can pull!'
Driven by her competitive spirit, Wen Yourong headed towards Mingyue Community.
……
"Welcome, Dr. Wen, to my humble abode for your guidance!"
Wen Yourong had been keeping quiet and ignoring Lin Hao the whole way from the entrance of the residential area, but she couldn't help but burst out laughing this time.
"That's right, who are you trying to impress with that serious look all day long? You look better when you smile more. Sit down for a bit."
After saying that, Lin Hao went to the refrigerator, took out a fresh lemon, and made a glass of lemonade. "Would you like some ice?"
"Lemonade without ice is soulless! Hey, you're not a real stalker, are you? How did you know I like this? Aren't I usually drinking tea or coffee?"
Perhaps it was Lin Hao's casualness that made Wen Yourong feel completely at ease. She casually replied, only to realize that the man hadn't even asked her what she wanted to drink, and had simply prepared her favorite.
'It'll be all set tonight!'
Hearing that ice could be added, Lin Hao grinned, "Those two things are bitter as hell, I didn't buy them when I first moved here, I just love drinking this, so I'll just go with the flow, who cares about following you!"
"If you're bored, just watch some TV. I'll quickly stir-fry a couple of dishes."
……
Half an hour later, Wen Yourong was dumbfounded again when she saw the two dishes that Lin Hao brought out.
One boiled chicken, one garlic-flavored baby bok choy.
Two simple home-style dishes evoked her memories.
Those were her two favorite dishes when she was a child, but no one has cooked them for her in a long time.
This secret was unknown to her colleagues and best friends...
"Try it, see how my cooking is?"
"Mmm, delicious!"
Soon, Wen Yourong stopped thinking about it and all she wanted to do was eat.
Lin Hao rested his chin on one hand, his gaze fixed intently on Wen Yourong, who was enjoying her meal across from him.
The warm yellow light cast a pale gold glow on her hair, and the relaxed atmosphere made neither of them feel the awkwardness or ambiguity of being alone in a room with someone else for the first time.
"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."
……
After a simple dinner, Wen Yourong looked at the empty plate she had cleared and then showed a hint of embarrassment.
When Wen Yourong insisted on helping to clear the dishes, a tingling, electric sensation spread quietly down her arm when her fingertips touched the calluses on his palm.
Lin Hao seemed oblivious, turning around and turning on the stereo. A familiar piano piece flowed out—it was "Moonlight Sonata," which she had played on repeat during her university years.
The sound of the piano mingled with the evening breeze outside the window, casting long shadows of the two people on the tiles.
Would you like to see the balcony?
Lin Hao suddenly spoke, casually pulling off his apron and draping it over the back of the chair.
Three pots of clivia were placed by the balcony railing; they were the same variety she kept in her office, and the flower buds trembled slightly in the night.
What surprised her even more was the easel propped up in the corner of the railing. On the unfinished canvas was a girl in a white coat watering a potted plant on the windowsill. Sunlight slanted in from the side, casting butterfly-wing-like shadows under her eyelashes.
"I first saw you yesterday."
Lin Hao leaned against the door frame, his fingertips unconsciously tracing the edge of the easel. "I originally wanted to paint it as an oil painting, but then I felt that watercolor would better complement the light in your eyes."
He suddenly turned around, his gaze meeting hers through the hazy night. "Dr. Wen, do you know why the people of Trial Town call me Lucky Guy?"
The night wind lifted his shirt collar, revealing a pale pink old scar below his collarbone.
"Why……"
Wen Yourong asked softly.
"Because I met you."
He slowly raised his hand and gently stroked Wen Yourong's cheek.
Wen Yourong's body trembled slightly, but she did not show any displeasure or refusal.
As if she had just thought of something, a jolt of electricity instantly coursed through her body. Her breathing became rapid and erratic, her long eyelashes trembled, and her heart pounded wildly like a runaway horse.
Her eyes were slightly closed, intoxicated by the dizzying tenderness, yet also as if trying to escape the gaze that was hot enough to melt her. Her heart was filled with a complex mix of nervousness and shyness, like a fine net tightly binding her.
Looking at Wen Yourong's shy and charming appearance, Lin Hao no longer hesitated, slowly lowered his head, and gently placed a kiss on her.
The breeze on the rooftop seemed to be infected by the ambiguous atmosphere, softly singing.
……
The night was very dark.
……
……
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, waking the two from their sweet dreams.
Lin Hao opened his eyes and saw a chaotic battlefield. Behind him, Wen Yourong was still hugging him tightly like a koala.
'The second playthrough was indeed easy... and the most exciting part even retained its freshness. I don't know how the simulator manages to do that, amazing!'
Lin Hao turned around gently and felt the soft touch in his palm again. This action made her groan softly and snuggle closer to Lin Hao.
A faint smile played at the corners of his lips as his fingers began to wander unconsciously, sending shivers down her spine wherever they touched, causing her to curl up deeper into the heat source in her sleep.
Wen Yourong seemed to gradually wake up. She looked up at Lin Hao with sleepy eyes. Their eyes met, and for a moment, time seemed to stand still, and a subtle atmosphere filled the air.
"Morning."
Lin Hao said softly.
"morning."
Wen Yourong blushed slightly and responded softly. A faint blush spread across her cheeks, just like a rosy cloud on the horizon at dawn, beautiful and moving.
"Damn it, how come you're like a tapeworm in my stomach..."
Coming to her senses, Wen Yourong was a little annoyed, "We only met for the first time yesterday, how did I end up in your bed so confusedly!"
Lin Hao didn't explain. Since he couldn't convince her in one night, he would talk about it another day.
This was a completely unequal battle, a one-sided crushing defeat in terms of both combat ability and experience against the enemy.
P.S.: Driving was tough, a real battle of wits with the censors, and in the end they still deleted a hundred words of detail... I'm not bragging, it was really dark, one of the two ellipses was the detail. Those who are following along are in luck! I posted it at midnight, and the censors automatically deleted it at 3:41 PM. Friends, you'd better read my book as soon as possible, otherwise it'll be a truly censored version...
Chapter 5 The First Female Beast Frenzy
As Wen Yourong limped slightly as she left for her night shift, she didn't tell Lin Hao her name.
But what amazed her was that Lin Hao seemed to know her inside and out; when he saw her off to the car, he even handed her a hand warmer.
She really needs this thing when she works the night shift, but she often forgets to bring it.
Along the way, she couldn't figure it out and was too lazy to think about it anymore. Who cares if Lin Hao is a stalker or not? He's capable and understanding. If she's confused, she's confused. Let it be.
As long as you're happy.
……
Only then did Lin Hao have time to focus his consciousness on the void space.
[Detected that the simulated female lead's affection level has reached its maximum. The Bond Space is activated, and the talent 'Original Battle Body' is awarded!]
Note: Please explore the more features of the Bond Space on your own. Affection is not fixed, and the female protagonist is still an independent individual with independent thinking ability.
The notification popped up last night, but he didn't have time to look at it because he was too busy teaching You Rong.
This created a new room in the space, and Wen Yourong's illusory body felt a little lonely.
'This is unbelievable! I've never been this rebellious in my life... It's so embarrassing!'
'How does he know me so well? He's amazing!'
Just as Lin Hao placed his hand on the illusory body in the bondage space, he heard You Rong's inner voice.
A true dating miracle!
With this thing, what's there to be afraid of when we're upset or having a cold war? It's invincible!
Lin Hao eavesdropped for half an hour in the bond space with a silly grin before checking out his new talent.
[Primal Battle Body]: In combat, stamina and recovery rate are significantly enhanced. Every three effective offensive and defensive actions activate one layer of Primal Mark, each layer reducing stamina consumption by 9% and increasing recovery rate by 20% (maximum 10 layers). Resets upon leaving combat.
This is amazing! This cheat code is so thoughtful.
No wonder I felt so good last night, and I'm not tired at all now!
Once consciousness exits the simulator space, it's time to start thinking about the unpleasant things ahead.
Lin Hao hadn't forgotten how he and Wen Yourong were defeated in the simulator!
