Join the ServerMaybe it was because of the nightmare, but Bai Mengze didn’t sleep peacefully.
Her clothes were roughly pulled open, the collar area revealing an endless spring scene.
A stretch of white skin was exposed, like a winter snowscape, dazzlingly bright.
The dizzying curves rose and fell prominently, changing with each breath, evoking wild thoughts.
Ji Wenyan steadied his own quickening breath, forcing his gaze away from Bai Mengze with great difficulty. Only when the white snowscape was no longer before his eyes did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Damn it, the system had set him up!!!
In this situation, how was he supposed to wake Bai Mengze?
He’d be taken for a pervert!
Absolutely!
[System: There’s more than one way to skin a cat. I believe in the host!]
[Believe in a hammer? Do you want me to get arrested by Bai Mengze? Suddenly barging into a girl’s sleeping quarters, even picking the lock… No, after I get out, system, you better fix the lock right away.]
[System: Is the host giving up on this mission?]
[Who said I’m giving up? Knocking from outside the door can also snap Bai Mengze out of her nightmare! I was just too focused on finishing the task quickly. Who would’ve thought it’d turn out like this…]
If Bai Mengze suddenly woke from her nightmare and saw him standing in the room, her face would show panic and disgust. Then the police would arrive in a flash, and under his parents’ disappointed expressions, he’d be taken away with reluctance.
At that thought, Ji Wenyan shuddered. No way was he taking the blame for this!
The system seemed convinced by Ji Wenyan’s reasoning. It didn’t say much more, and once Ji Wenyan quickly walked outside, it immediately reset the door lock to normal.
“Bai Mengze, time for dinner!”
With Ji Wenyan’s loud knocking, there was soon movement inside the room.
But Bai Mengze didn’t open the door directly. After about three minutes, she finally opened it.
Looking at Bai Mengze, who had already tidied her clothes, Ji Wenyan felt a slight pang of regret, thinking he should have sneaked a few more glances.
So white!
Wait, that thought was dangerous!
“Sorry, I accidentally dozed off.”
“It’s okay. Too much happened today, you must be exhausted! After dinner, get some good rest.”
The blush on Bai Mengze’s cheeks was obvious, and Ji Wenyan could guess the reason, which made him a little uneasy too. His face reddened suspiciously.
Fortunately, Bai Mengze was still shy from her earlier disheveled state and didn’t notice Ji Wenyan’s discomfort.
[Congratulations, host, for completing the random mission. Reward: 100 star source points.]
As Ji Wenyan led Bai Mengze downstairs, the system’s voice rang out.
Although 100 star source points weren’t much, every little bit counted. A few more small tasks would add up to 1000.
This divine skill that cost 1000 star source points per month felt even less useful than the perfect-level math skill!
Too useless!
[System: It’s just that the host hasn’t grasped the correct usage method, and your ability is too low to fully unleash the skill’s effect.]
[You mean… I’m such a lousy learner that even the skill can’t help me???]
[System: Ahem. After testing the host’s current learning status, I recommend starting with second-year junior high textbooks.]
[…]
“Wenyan, is this Bai Mengze?”
“Yes. Mom, she’s just a young girl. Don’t scare her.”
After being silently mocked by the system, Ji Wenyan was pissed, but he had already led Bai Mengze to the dining room, so he couldn’t keep arguing with the system.
However, seeing his parents already seated, Ji Wenyan’s lips twitched.
Didn’t his mom not wear makeup at home?
She said it damaged her skin, so she stayed natural at home to let her skin rest, then put on light makeup before leaving the house the next day.
And yet here she was, with heavy makeup, wearing a cheongsam and jewelry—way too formal!
When he looked at his dad, he was in a suit and tie, hair neatly combed, even wearing cologne!
These two were something else.
It was just a simple meeting. Why make such a big deal?
If someone didn’t know better, they’d think he was bringing his wife to meet the in-laws…
“Bai Mengze, let me introduce you. This is my dad, Ji Wenlin, and my mom, Gong Yingying… They’re a bit hospitable. Don’t be nervous.”
“Hello, Uncle Ji. Hello, Aunt Gong.”
“Oh my, she’s so beautiful!”
After Ji Wenyan’s brief introduction, Bai Mengze immediately called out sweetly, making his parents look moved, as if they’d just met their ideal daughter-in-law.
Ji Wenyan found it both amusing and exasperating. His parents were way too enthusiastic toward Bai Mengze.
Now he, their son, could only sit on the sidelines, unable to get a word in.
Seeing that Ji Wenyan’s parents were approachable, Bai Mengze gradually relaxed.
When she learned that Ji Wenyan’s mom was the famous Gong Yingying, who had taken all of Asia by storm, Bai Mengze’s eyes sparkled like a longtime fan finally meeting her idol.
Ji Wenyan wasn’t surprised by this reaction.
When he led Bai Mengze downstairs earlier, he noticed her staring at the photo of Gong Yingying hanging on the wall for quite a while.
She must have recognized who Gong Yingying was but wasn’t sure.
No wonder Bai Mengze was so excited…
After all, Gong Yingying had been incredibly popular back in the day, her fame spreading across Asia. Her suitors could circle the globe dozens of times—almost like that Xianfengfeng milk tea slogan.
But seeing that Bai Mengze was no longer nervous, Ji Wenyan breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as she could adapt.
[Bai Mengze Affection +3]
