Note: I’m a dumbass who translated the previous chapter when she was half asleep, so I read it wrong and switched the cousins’ names. Our ML is Fei Xiu, not Fei Lian! Fei Lian is the cousin’s name! I corrected the previous chapter, an hour after release, so if you’re one of the early birds who read it before correction, I hope you’re not too confused

Thus, when the waiter led Jun Ye upstairs, he coincidentally saw the door with Cupid’s emblem closing.

The waiter thought to himself, “Two emotionally clueless alphas, left to fend for themselves.”

The waiter discreetly glanced at the omega beside him, noticing the calm expression. He had no intention of making excuses for the alphas and continued leading him forward.

Politely knocking on the door, the waiter didn’t wait for a response before pushing it open and stepping aside.

Inside the room, both alphas, who hadn’t yet taken their seats, turned to look. Jun Ye’s stride faltered, not because of the people in the room, but because of the system screen that appeared before him.

[“Host has a long-term poker face, indicating low task enthusiasm. Task points -1 (-1%)”]

[“Triggered task—[Winning Smile]”]

Jun Ye: “…”

He seemed to understand why his previous scores were so dismal.

Jun Ye continued walking in and, with a slight tug at the corners of his mouth, he flashed a standard closed-lip smile at the system panel before it disappeared.

[“Task [Winning Smile] completed. Task points 1 (0%)”]

The system panel vanished.

Fei Lian secretly nudged Fei Xiu’s arm, whispering, “This little omega looks quite attractive. But why does he seem so stiff? Did he get botched plastic surgery?”

Fei Xiu blushed and whispered back, “He’s… very good-looking…”

Fei Lian: “!!!”

Afterwards, Fei Lian watched as the omega continued to smile stiffly, and when he spoke, “Hello, I’m Jun Ye. May I ask who I’m here to meet… Mr. Xiu?”

Fei Lian dared to guarantee that this question was intentionally asked by the omega because from the moment they entered the room, the omega hadn’t spared him a single glance, only focusing on his cousin, Fei Xiu. The omega’s intentions were more than evident.

But his cousin, like a young lad harboring a secret crush on his idol for years, blushed and stumbled forward, turning his self-introduction into a veiled confession.

Even after being pushed out of the room by his cousin, Fei Lian was left dumbfounded.

What was he here to do today? To quietly sabotage the blind date!

But his employer actually betrayed him at the last moment and kicked him out?!

Damn it, what do you two want to do inside?!

Jun Ye was also a bit puzzled. Could it be that the system’s judgment of “[Winning Smile]” actually meant he was genuinely smitten?

But even with a good foundation in looks, would his smile really be that appealing?

So, opposite comrade, just how thick is your filter?

Jun Ye’s mood was somewhat nuanced. If he hadn’t tested with a few questions, he might have thought the other party remembered him.



Fei Xiu carefully picked up a bowl of porridge with red flower petals mixed in from the plate held by the waiter and placed it in front of Jun Ye’s tray, saying softly, “The flower porridge in this restaurant is very popular among omegas. Give it a try.”

Fei Xiu handed over a meat patty, cut into small pieces, and placed it in front of Jun Ye. “The taste of this exotic beast meat is quite good, but it’s a bit difficult to cut.”

Fei Xiu helped Jun Ye change his napkin.

Fei Xiu got up to play music.

Fei Xiu poured wine.

Fei Xiu…

Jun Ye fell into contemplation.

Why did it feel like all his past relationships were with false partners?

As the gentle music flowed, Fei Xiu leaned down slightly and extended his hand to Jun Ye. “Beautiful Mr. Omega, may I have the honor of inviting you for a dance?”

From Jun Ye’s perspective, as Fei Xiu uttered these words, a blue light panel appeared above his head.

【Agree to dance invitation from task target [Fei Xiu] (A good task performer never refuses any request from the task target.)】

Then let’s dance.

Jun Ye put aside the napkin, stood up, and took Fei Xiu’s hand.

Fei Xiu followed Omega’s dance steps clumsily.

He was pressed against the Omega’s body, with the Omega’s light yet enticing pheromones lingering at his nostrils, along with the occasional breath brushing against his skin, making it hard for him to concentrate.

The Omega’s hands were soft yet infused with a magical strength, holding him firmly…

After a spin, Fei Xiu quietly rested his head on the Omega’s shoulder. He thought to himself that it wouldn’t hurt to stay like this for a little while.

As the dance came to an end, Fei Xiu faintly felt that something was off but couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

Perhaps this dance was different from the ones he was familiar with?

He spun a bit too much, making him feel a little dizzy.

Until the end of the dance.

With a smile that seemed to say everything and nothing, the Omega withdrew his hand from Fei Xiu’s waist. Suddenly, Fei Xiu’s mind jolted, realizing what was wrong.

The Omega had been leading the dance steps, while he had been pulled and manipulated by the Omega all along.

Realizing this, Fei Xiu’s expression blanked for a moment.

At the same time, a familiar “ding—” sounded in Jun Ye’s ears, and the system panel reappeared.

【[Fei Xiu’s Dance Invitation] task completed. Task points 1 (1%)】

Jun Ye smirked slightly. He liked this kind of straightforward judgment.

As for who led the dance steps? Did it really matter?

“Do you want to be my partner?”

Ding—

【Trigger Main Mission—[Marriage] (As a great Omega dedicated to bring up the human birth rate, you will enter into a marriage contract with your task target.)】

.

It was already late at night, and Jun Ye stood under the shower, warm water cascading over his body.

Thinking back to the proposal from Fei Xiu earlier tonight, and the simultaneous triggering of the system mission, Jun Ye felt a headache coming on.

Everything was about to follow the script he had seen in the system space…

The main issue now was that he didn’t know Fei Xiu’s identity, nor did he know if Fei Xiu could still exist in the task world after a non-natural death.

If he viewed these worlds as a game, then Fei Xiu in the version he played was an NPC designated as a target for romantic pursuit, in other words, a string of code.

And this string of code was different; at least in his experience, Fei Xiu was fundamentally different from other people in these worlds. No matter how many task worlds he entered, that person was always the most special existence, capable of capturing his attention with just one glance.

Jun Ye didn’t see anything wrong with describing his crush as a string of code; after all, in these worlds, he was akin to a foreign virus.

Yes, a virus falling in love with code.

Buzz—

Just as his thoughts were drifting, Jun Ye’s wrist terminal vibrated.

Seeing the video call requester—”Target”—Jun Ye didn’t hesitate and immediately accepted.

The nickname was initially something he gave to the little recluse. After experiencing so many worlds, while there wasn’t exact evidence, Jun Ye had come to accept the idea that all his task targets originated from the same source.

So, upon obtaining Fei Xiu’s contact information, Jun Ye had also set his nickname to “Target.”

These two habitual actions resulted in Jun Ye momentarily forgetting that he was still in the shower and failing to consider how his relationship with Fei Xiu had progressed.

The virtual screen unfolded in the air, displaying the image of Fei Xiu sitting upright on the aircraft.

Seeing Fei Xiu, Jun Ye reached up to tousle his wet hair and gave him a smile.

The system is killing me lol it’s so funny seeing it go in negative! And the end >///>
