This time there were enough ingredients, and Shen Yin fully demonstrated his skills.
“This tofu is my specialty.”
When thinking about tofu, it easily made him say he wanted to ‘eat tofu1‘ as he made tofu dish.
At that moment, Song Tan didn’t react, but when she was kissed, she realized what he meant by ‘eating tofu.’
When Shen Yin got unserious, he really got unserious.
Her small thought of comforting him was completely forgotten.
Well, they weren’t really suited for sentimentality.
After the meals, the two of them sat in the courtyard.
At first, they were each busy with their own things: Song Tan reading a book while Shen Yin checked messages on his phone.
But after a short while, Shen Yin put away his phone and looked at Song Tan.
Song Tan knew something was off about him today.
She put down her book and looked at Shen Yin.
“How about watching a movie together?”
They had never watched a movie together before, they hadn’t done the things typical of young couples.
“Sure.”
Song Tan was going to just make do with the computer, but Shen Yin somehow managed to get a projector from somewhere and hung a piece of cloth in the courtyard, creating an outdoor movie setup.
Song Tan had seen outdoor movies when she was young, but she only watched for a while before her Grandpa brought her home because she felt cold.
The temperature tonight was also a bit low, but maybe because Shen Yin has stopped hiding himself, he grabbed her wheelchair and sat in it, then pulled her into his arms and covered her with a blanket.
Song Tan moved a bit.
“Don’t move.”
He whispered in her ear, “Otherwise, we can’t watch the movie.”
Song Tan glared at him with beautiful eyes. “I’m just adjusting my position.”
“Okay.”
After Song Tan adjusted to a comfortable position, the movie began.
The film they chose was a foreign literary film, not particularly exciting in content, but the visuals were nice, and the music was pleasant, suitable for watching with one’s other half’ a quiet night like this.
The term ‘watching with one’s other half’ was picked up from netizens.
He felt the reason why this movie was suitable for watching with one’s other half was that it would play some background music when they kiss.
The background music was soothing, not affecting the kisses of the two, and you could even hear their breathing becoming hurried.
But…
*Beep, beep, beep—*
Their lips parted, looking at the watch on Song Tan’s wrist.
Song Tan reached out to take it off, but her hand was stopped by Shen Yin.
“This watch is a bit annoying.”
Song Tan now had 007, so she didn’t need this watch to monitor her heart rate.
At most, 007 would just say that it’s not looking and then turn off temporarily, but this watch always beeped at critical moments, disturbing the atmosphere.
Song Tan was very serious, but she made Shen Yin laugh.
“After we moved out, you’ve been laughing a lot more.”
Back at the Huo’s mansion, Shen Yin was mostly silent, and his smiles were often superficial.
But now, she found that he has been genuinely laughing.
The smile on Shen Yin’s face didn’t fade as he said, “Because you’re here.”
“Am I that influential?”
“Of course, Miss Song can be fully confident about that.”
Miss Song raised her eyebrows, lifting his chin with her hand, making him look up at her.
Taking a cue from the dandy on TV, she said to him, “Laugh for me.”
Shen Yin was initially puzzled, then burst into laughter.
Song Tan… she really was quite cute.
At first, he was very worried. If she only liked the facade he presented, would she stop liking him after seeing his true self?
But now it seemed he had worried for nothing.
Song Tan seemed to prefer him just the way he was now.
Or maybe…
“Song Tan.”
“Hmm?”
He said in his heart : I like you just the way you are now.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing Shen Yin calling her but not saying anything, she looked at him oddly and asked, “Do you have something to say but can’t get it out?”
Shen Yin nodded hesitantly.
“What is it? Tell me?”
“I can’t say.”
Song Tan : ?
She noticed that Shen Yin had recently become more outspoken.
“You and the previous Teacher Shen are really drifting further apart.”
“Do you prefer the old me or the current me?”
Song Tan thought for a moment. “I like Shen Yin.”
Shen Yin : ?
Song Tan’s arms hung around his neck as she said, “Whether it’s the gentle Teacher Shen from before, the one who pretended to be gentle, or the current…,”
She glanced up and down at him, “…or the current cheeky Shen Yin who likes to tease, I like them all.”
She added, “Of course, I like you the way you are now more.”
Shen Yin was caught off guard by this confession and was momentarily stunned.
He asked, “Why?”
“Because I also like who I am now.”
The me now likes the you now.
The you now also likes the me now.
Although she felt that liking someone was somewhat elusive, when immersed in it, it was still wonderfully profound.
This wonderful feeling couldn’t be described in words.
It needed kisses, breaths, and…
They didn’t have time to finish watching the movie’s second half.
From the yard to the bed, Shen Yin kissed her while maneuvering the wheelchair, carrying her in.
Song Tan didn’t expect her wheelchair could be used like this.
But her mind didn’t really want to dwell on those thoughts.
She secretly took off the watch from her wrist.
Shen Yin didn’t notice for a moment.
Now she felt very excited, her heart beating rapidly.
007 yelled that it’s not suitable for children, while helping her keep her heartbeat within normal range.
So, tonight, she could.
But Shen Yin, he’s quite good at ruining the mood.
They were already on the bed when he suddenly remembered about the watch.
He reached out to touch Song Tan’s wrist.
Sure enough, she had taken off the watch.
Shen Yin looked at her helplessly.
Song Tan’s eyes sparkled as she held Shen Yin’s face in her hands and continued to kiss him.
“Song Tan…”
Song Tan interrupted, “I’m fine.”
“No.”
“Yes.”
Shen Yin : “…”
“If I’m uncomfortable, I’ll tell you.”
Shen Yin also didn’t expect that one day, this kind of thing would be orchestrated by Song Tan.
“That, over there.”
She even prepared a condom.
He said, “I underestimated you.”
Song Tan chuckled.
Shen Yin could endure a bit more than her.
Although after he revealed his true self, he didn’t seem as serious as before, in bed, he could turn himself into a ninja turtle.
Song Tan couldn’t endure as much as him.
She wanted to sleep with Shen Yin.
Hmm…
So, she began to take action.
The process wasn’t very smooth.
Although they were both adults, having watched various educational videos, practical application was definitely harder than theory.
Moreover, Song Tan’s body was delicate; he had to consider both her physical condition and her mood.
Shen Yin felt nervous like it was an exam for the first time.
And almost because of nervousness, he almost submitted his paper early.
As for Song Tan…
She wanted to give Shen Yin a failing grade.
But considering that the problem probably lay with herself, it would be somewhat unfair to blame Shen Yin entirely.
So, she gave him a score of 80.
The remaining 20 points could be discussed later.
Song Tan didn’t move much, but she was exhausted.
Sweat covered her forehead, but she didn’t even want to move a finger.
On the other hand, Shen Yin, after getting up to fetch a towel, found her already asleep.
He approached, but she didn’t wake up.
Shen Yin’s lips curved slightly, his movements gentle as he wiped away the sweat beads for her.
Finally, he planted a kiss on her lips.
Shen Yin put on a piece of clothing and went to the yard.
By now, the movie had already finished playing.
He sat on a stone bench, gazing up at the starry sky.
The stars twinkled.
Now, he had concerns.
There were some things he didn’t have the courage to risk anymore.
Song Tan slept until dawn.
When she woke up, Shen Yin was no longer at home, but he had cooked porridge for her to eat in the morning.
As Song Tan drank the porridge, she asked the system, [Little Seven, have you sorted out the employee discount for me?]
[The main system approved it, 10% off]
Song Tan smiled satisfactorily. It was indeed the system she had trained, quite skilled at bargaining.
[However, the main system issued a test as well.]
It mainly concerned the data of Song Tan’s completion of the supporting female character transformation task. It wasn’t that she cheated, but since the system judged that she completed the task, she did complete it. However, there were still many aspects of this process that the main system couldn’t analyze.
So now, along with the employee internal discount, the main system gave Song Tan a test.
This test doesn’t just target her, but also Shen Yin, Huo Yanlin, and Su Ran.
007 : [Although you didn’t do anything, the current situation with them is still related to you.]
Song Tan didn’t deny this.
She replied, [But this also has to do with you guys. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even know the original plot.]
A small change can lead to a big difference.
If blame were to be placed, it shouldn’t fall on her.
After all, when the system found her, she had adamantly refused.
The so-called task of the supporting female character transformation was nothing more than making someone a better person.
She was already a good person, so why should she accept the transformation?
It was clearly Huo Yanlin and Su Ran who needed the transformation.
She said, [I seriously doubt that there’s a bug in your system.]
System 007 remained silent for a long time.
This time it wasn’t a malfunction, but because… indeed, the main system had a bug.
Or rather, there was a bug in this world.
The selection of the male and female leads was very strict, but now, firstly, the two leads’ relationship hadn’t been tested, and then Huo Yanlin faced a principle crisis.
Once Huo Yanlin chose to protect the Huo family and stand with his family, he would completely lose his qualification as the male lead.
The main system was now fixing this bug.
[There’s a bug, and it should be fixed. Don’t make things difficult for us ordinary people. I have a suggestion for you.]
Song Tan continued, [You should apply for a male and female lead transformation plan from the main system, and throw them into that apocalypse world for a while. One is to test their relationship, and the other is to make them realize the importance of being a good person.]
[Host, I detect that you have ill intentions.]
As if Song Tan ever had good intentions.
She clearly hadn’t done anything wrong but had suffered so much. Why shouldn’t the male and female leads have a taste of it too?
[Little Seven, you’ve been with me for so long, you should understand me the best. When have I ever been wrong?]
Although she was just bluffing it, every time Song Tan said or did something, it turned out to be right according to the data.
Even though it also detected that its Host was a complete scammer.
[So what do you want me to do?]
Seeing the system’s response, Song Tan knew she had successfully manipulated it again.
[Go apply to the main system, test Huo Yanlin and Su Ran, only after testing them can we fix the bug.]
System 007 detected that Host’s words made sense, went offline temporarily, and applied to the main system for testing the male and female leads.
As for Song Tan, she exchanged some real money for gold coins, and then exchanged the gold coins for nutrient solution.
But this time, she wasn’t going to drink it immediately, but rather to see if she could figure out the formula.
The things produced by this system are excellent products that surpass the current society’s high technology.
Song Tan didn’t want to rely on the system all the time, so her plan was always to see if she could try to replicate it herself.
She enthusiastically started working on things.
By the way, she sent a message to Shen Yin.
[Come back early tonight.]
Shen Yin : “…” Is his wife hinting at something?
Author’s note:
Shen Yin : Only 80 points?
- ‘eating tofu’ is also a Chinese slang meaning to take advantage of someone (s*xually) ↩︎
This chapter really contradicts the previous one since Song Tan stated before that she experienced the main storyline again and again, that’s why she noticed the ‘little things’ of Shen Yin helping her when she was sick. But again here, Song Tan says that the reason she knew the storyline is due to the System.
Also the first time watching a movie together is false, since they already watched one in the Huo house before where Shen Yin covered Song Tan’s eyes. But the previous chapter it was stated that they never do couple things like watching a movie together
Thanks for the chapter!!!!
Thank you!
Thank you for updating!!!!
Song Yan had seen outdoor movies when she was young, but she only watched for a while before her Grandpa brought her home because she felt cold.
Song Yan glared at him with beautiful eyes. “I’m just adjusting my position.”
Song Tan
fixed, thanks!
