Oh, let's not do that. She can touch him herself if she wants to. Lin Zhi definitely won't refuse.
Momentarily distracted, Jiang Yan nervously promised, "I won't touch him, I won't touch him at all."
Jiang Youbai didn't believe this nonsense. Last time she had just promised him she wouldn't avoid him or contact Lu Yang, and then she turned around and changed to someone else.
Sometimes Jiang Youbai truly suspected that his girlfriend might have a grand ambition—to give every man a home.
What a joke!
...If that were really the case, he'd have to be the boss.
In the end, Jiang Youbai was afraid of scaring her away by being too controlling.
Jiang Youbai felt so bitter. Is this what happens when you fall for a player? Should he start studying how to restrain a flirtatious woman?
Jiang Yan could only try to appease him: "You know who I like, don't you? I only like you."
"What about them?" Jiang Youbai asked deliberately, still not believing her.
Jiang Yan wasn't very good at lying to his face, so she simply hugged him tightly, pressing her face against him at an angle where he couldn't see her. She closed her eyes and began spinning lies to shirk responsibility: "Boo-hoo, I'm so good, how could I possibly like them? They're all trying to seduce me, boo-hoo. I'm too pure and innocent, I'm so young. I was just curious. Baby, please forgive me, I'll never do it again..."
As Jiang Yan was in the midst of her fake crying, she suddenly noticed Jiang Youbai's excessive silence and felt something was off. Did this reaction mean he believed her or not?
Jiang Yan clutched Jiang Youbai's clothes, wiped her tears, and sneakily looked up, only to meet Jiang Youbai's utterly bewildered gaze.
In the strange atmosphere, Jiang Youbai remained silent for a moment, then rescued his clothes from Jiang Yan's grasp and said with difficulty, "You overacted."
His expression of speechlessness and helplessness, trying hard to naturally critique her overacting, suddenly captivated Jiang Yan!
"I love you so much, so so much!" Jiang Yan exclaimed as she threw herself onto Jiang Youbai.
Jiang Youbai's face instantly lit up with joy. Although he couldn't grasp all of Jiang Yan's strange quirks, he absolutely adored it when she said she loved him.
In the end, Jiang Yan promised as always that she wouldn't interact with Lin Zhi again.
However, Jiang Youbai looked at her languidly and added something new this time: "If I find out again, you'll be in for it."
...
Because of what he said, Jiang Yan felt nervous and incredibly guilty when she went to see Lin Zhi.
Lin Zhi looked at her with a deep smile and got up to fetch her a bottle of milk. "Are you that scared?"
Jiang Yan scoffed, "How could that be possible!"
"Dare to give me a hug?" Lin Zhi smiled, hitting her weak spot.
Jiang Yan immediately hugged herself tightly. "No, no, although you're essentially the same person, we still need to make a clear distinction. I'm a faithful woman, you know."
Lin Zhi just laughed, "Jiang Youbai's got some skills, huh? He's even managed to control our Jiang Jiang who loves handsome guys' abs the most."
Jiang Yan knew he was settling scores for her sneaking peeks at handsome guys in the previous world.
So she quickly steered the conversation to the main topic.
In these few worlds, the System's presence had been getting weaker, as if it had been subjected to some kind of punishment.
Jiang Yan had also come to understand more about the System's capabilities. She laid out everything about the System to Lin Zhi.
Lin Zhi had actually already guessed part of it. After all, before this, they were the most perfect partners, and now they were the most compatible happy couple.
However, after truly understanding the rules of fate that the System followed, he still felt an uncontrollable disgust towards it.
Having come clean with Lin Zhi, this mission became easier to accomplish. They just needed to include Jiang Yan in the task Lin Zhi mentioned in the plot.
However, what Jiang Yan had to do was too risky.
Lin Zhi was still somewhat worried: "If we analyze it carefully, the System probably won't last much longer. If you continue to pretend to do missions in front of the System like before, it would be less dangerous."
Jiang Yan drawled in a whiny voice, "I don't want to wait anymore—" But her attitude was absolutely firm, clearly showing she couldn't bear it any longer.
"Can you guarantee you'll have your memories next time?" Jiang Yan's question left Lin Zhi speechless.
"I want to go back," Jiang Yan said. "I want to go back and tell Mom and Dad that I'm fine, I want to go back and lie on the boat with you watching the stars, I want to go back and drink with Qin Zhenzhen..."
"I don't want to get to know you all over again, time after time."
