[DING!]
[Su Ruoxi’s favorability toward Host has reached 90%. Relationship status has reached "Intimate Lover."]
[Congratulations, Host, for acquiring your first Intimate Lover.]
[Option 1: Reject Su Ruoxi and tell her you do not like her. Reward: 5,000,000 Huaxia Coins.]
[Option 2: Accept Su Ruoxi and become her boyfriend. Reward: a Stock Market Trend Card for a specific time period, and Su Ruoxi’s favorability toward Host will be increased to 100%, reaching "Till Death Do Us Part" status.]
As Lin Feng was spacing out, the system’s voice sounded.
Who would have thought that under the influence of alcohol, Su Ruoxi’s favorability toward him would actually increase by one point.
It jumped straight to the "Intimate Lover" level.
That’s why it had inexplicably triggered a system option mission.
The rewards for both options looked pretty good. One was five million in cash, and the other was a Stock Market Trend Card for a specific period, plus an increase in Su Ruoxi’s favorability to 100%.
According to the system’s previous explanation.
When a person of the opposite sex’s favorability toward the Host reaches 100%, their devotion would become "Till Death Do Us Part."
No matter what the Host did, they would never leave or forsake him.
As for a person of the same sex whose favorability reached 100%, they would become a ride-or-die companion.
Their loyalty would also rise to 100%, and they would never betray the Host.
’Which one should I choose?’
It would be a lie to say Lin Feng had no feelings for Su Ruoxi. After all, her title as the new student campus belle was not for nothing.
She not only had high Appearance, but also a great figure.
As a hot-blooded university student, it was hard to resist such a temptation.
But...
Lin Feng wasn’t really looking to get into a relationship right now.
Besides, if he accepted Su Ruoxi now, Lin Feng felt like he would be taking advantage of her while she was vulnerable.
"I..."
Lin Feng pulled his consciousness back from the system.
He looked at Su Ruoxi.
He saw that Su Ruoxi’s pretty face was flushed. Her eyes, as she looked at him, held a mix of affection and... was that a hint of pleading?
It made Lin Feng’s heart soften in an instant.
But before he could say another word, Su Ruoxi, her eyes hazy from the drink, lunged toward him.
Maybe she tripped on a table leg.
Su Ruoxi, who had intended to hug Lin Feng, stumbled and fell right into his arms.
And by a stroke of coincidence, their lips met.
The sensation was strange and subtle.
Su Ruoxi’s lips were soft, carrying a faint, sweet fragrance.
Lin Feng felt as if a jolt of electricity shot through his body, making him tremble involuntarily.
’My first kiss... was taken just like that?’
Su Ruoxi seemed to have had quite a bit to drink.
The moment her lips touched Lin Feng’s, she completely melted into his arms.
She showed no signs of resisting or refusing.
Feeling Su Ruoxi’s reaction, Lin Feng was even more certain that her favorability toward him truly had reached the "Intimate Lover" level.
Otherwise, she would never have done something so bold.
Much less throw herself into his arms in front of Yang Qingqing and Yang Qiniang.
At this moment, seeing this scene unfold,
Both Yang Qingqing and Yang Qiniang were stunned.
Yang Qiniang, in particular, was utterly dumbfounded. ’Just like that, Su Ruoxi became my sister-in-law?’
’My wingman skills are too good!’
Yang Qingqing, on the other hand, stood frozen in place, her expression extremely complicated.
She also had feelings for Lin Feng, so she could naturally tell that Su Ruoxi treated him differently from everyone else.
But Yang Qingqing hadn’t given up.
Even if her rival was Su Ruoxi, she still wanted to try and fight for him.
But now, seeing that Lin Feng didn’t push Su Ruoxi away and instead held her in his embrace,
She knew she probably didn’t have a chance anymore.
If Lin Feng had used his Virtual Data Eyes to scan Yang Qingqing right now,
He would have discovered that her favorability toward him had also risen from 86% to 90%, making her another one of his "Intimate Friends."
But at this moment, Lin Feng was in no mood to check such things.
[DING!]
[Passive choice detected for Host.]
[Reward granted: a Stock Market Trend Card for a specific time period, Su Ruoxi’s favorability toward Host increased to 100%, and relationship status has reached "Till Death Do Us Part."]
[Stock Market Trend Card: Upon using this card, the Host may designate any stock to receive its price trend chart for the next month.]
The system was still rambling on with its explanation.
But Lin Feng turned off the notification sound.
’With a soft, fragrant beauty in his arms, wasn’t the system just being a nuisance by popping up now?’
However, Lin Feng could clearly feel it.
After the system announced that Su Ruoxi’s attitude toward him had become "Till Death Do Us Part,"
Su Ruoxi’s whole body grew even hotter.
It seemed as if she would respond immediately to whatever Lin Feng might do.
A favorability of 100% meant that Su Ruoxi had already given her entire heart to Lin Feng.
Even until death, nothing would ever change that.
"Um, hey..."
Just then, Yang Qiniang suddenly spoke up from the side, breaking the silence in the private room.
"Aren’t we here to eat?"
"If you two don’t want to eat, I can have Uncle Wang take you home first."
Yang Qiniang’s voice was tinged with helplessness and a bit of grievance as he thought to himself,
’You two...’
’Is it really okay to do this in front of two single people like me and Qingqing?’
Hearing Yang Qiniang’s voice, Lin Feng and Su Ruoxi slowly separated.
The two of them locked eyes.
Su Ruoxi’s gaze was so intense it seemed to be drawing threads, filled with a deep, intoxicating love.
"Ahem."
The atmosphere in the private room had become a bit awkward.
Lin Feng cleared his throat twice.
Su Ruoxi tried to return to her seat, but Lin Feng grabbed her arm.
He pulled her down to sit beside him.
"Don’t move. Just sit here."
Lin Feng’s words were a bit domineering.
However, hearing Lin Feng’s words, Su Ruoxi didn’t resist, simply humming softly in agreement.
"It’s over, it’s over."
"Ruoxi, you’ve completely fallen for him."
Seeing Su Ruoxi’s reaction, Yang Qingqing teased, "If I’d known this would happen, I would’ve just let you treat us, Brother Feng."
"Who knew that my brother and I would treat you to a meal, only to be fed a mouthful of your public displays of affection."
"We’re really getting the short end of the stick on this meal today."
It had to be said, Yang Qingqing adjusted her mindset quite quickly.
At least, after realizing she had no chance with Lin Feng, she could still crack a joke.
Yang Qiniang was the same, teasing Lin Feng,
"Old Lin, how about you just give me my money back?"
"I’m paying for this meal and I have to suffer this critical hit of affection? My poor heart can’t take it!"
Yang Qingqing and Yang Qiniang took turns making jokes.
Lin Feng didn’t seem to mind, but Su Ruoxi, who was beside him, blushed an even deeper shade of red.
She lowered her head, not daring to meet the gazes of Yang Qingqing and Yang Qiniang.
"Say no more. How about I treat you to the Peace Imperial Banquet three times in a row?"
"Consider it compensation for having to endure all this PDA."
Besides, spending money at the Peace Imperial Banquet would earn him a Cashback Card anyway.
Lin Feng wouldn’t lose anything; in fact, he would actually make a profit.
"Now that’s more like it."
Yang Qiniang smiled and raised his glass. "Come on, let’s all have a toast to celebrate you and Su Ruoxi getting together."
But Lin Feng shook his head and said lightly, "What’s the fun in drinking from glasses? Come on, let’s chug them straight from the bottle."
Yang Qiniang froze for a second, then burst out laughing. "Hahaha, alright! We’re not going home until we’re drunk tonight!"
Right after, the two of them ordered a case of beer.
As the dishes began to arrive one by one, the two of them started chugging away.
