I confirmed with a glance that it was someone who disliked me. Just as I was finally rolling in bed, ready to meet the Sandman, a dialogue box suddenly popped up in front of me—
【Ding——】
【Love Value Conversion +1】
As I read it aloud, the dialogue box flickered again—
【Ding——】
【Love Value Conversion -1】
【Today's Love Value Conversion is 0.5. Host, keep up the effort.】
What on earth was Liu Wenxing thinking about all night?
With a rumble of thunder, the lights in the room went out instantly. Outside, heavy rain began to pour down, as if the weather was mirroring the fluctuating Love Value. Forget it, I decided to stop thinking and just sleep; I had to get up early to make breakfast for him.
Knock knock.
He opened the door, looking surprised at the sight of me holding two steaming bowls of noodles. I walked around him into the room and placed the noodles on the table. Seeing him still frozen at the doorway, I called out, “Come eat before it gets cold.”
After saying that, I ignored him. My hands were burning from the heat, and I touched my earlobe, letting the warmth dissipate. Just as I was about to grab my chopsticks, he took my hand instead. Feeling his cool fingertips against mine, I looked at his lowered brows and slightly pouting lips as he leaned closer to blow on my fingers. My heart started to race a little.
This atmosphere, this feeling, this action…
If it weren't for the sense of detachment in his eyes, I would have thought he was flirting with me. I quickly withdrew my hand, feeling awkward, and handed him the chopsticks. "Eat up, I didn't put too much salt today. It'll clump together if you wait too long."
He remained silent, lowering his head to eat, but an air of faint coldness surrounded him. Was he upset? Why? Did he not like the noodles?
Adhering to my principle of asking when in doubt about the food, I decided to inquire, "Are the noodles not good? Or do you just not like noodles?"
"I'm not picky. The noodles are good," he replied.
"Then why are you unhappy? Is it because I came late?"
He set down his chopsticks and looked straight at me. "If you don't like me touching you, why did you promise to cook for me? Have you found some new amusement?"
His scrutinizing gaze made my heart skip a beat, fearing he would discover that I wasn't the original owner who had sent me to the Official Government to be burned as a monster.
"Husband, I was wrong before, and I apologize," I said.
"I was blind and foolish in the past and made many mistakes."
"I will definitely change from now on."
"There are only the two of us here, and there aren't many servants. If you don't like crowds, you can send them all away."
"We're already married; I think I should treat you better and want to live a good life with you."
After saying that, I flashed him a smile that revealed all eight of my teeth.
*Ding—*
*Love Value Conversion +10*
He was silent for a moment before picking up his chopsticks and taking a bite of the noodles while saying "good."
Phew, I quietly breathed a sigh of relief as my heart settled back into my chest. This truly was a series of challenges that I had managed to overcome!
After finishing dinner and returning to my room, I called out to the system.
"Xiao Jin, come out!"
"Host, my name is not Xiao Jin."
"Oh, the name doesn't matter right now. The important thing is to make Liu Wenxing fall in love with me. Let's not get hung up on details!"
"So, do you have a plan?"
"Xiao Jin, this isn't just my problem; it's our problem. Don't think you can shirk your responsibilities!"
I narrowed my eyes and looked at the system seriously, making it clear how grave the situation was.
"I started as just a system; I didn't know what to do either!"
Hearing Xiao Jin's frustrated voice, I shared my thoughts with him.
