“Yuan Yuan.” Yan Jin spoke earnestly, “We should believe in science, not feudal superstitions.”

Ever since they got together, Yan Jin discovered that Yu Shu was especially superstitious about certain things.

This is a new era. We should believe that personality determines fate, not believe in intangible gods and Buddhas.

“I’m only feudal and superstitious when it comes to you, Xiao Xiao.” Yu Shu kissed Yan Jin’s hair and said seriously, “I’ve always been a firm materialist, but for you, I hope there is an afterlife.”

[No matter when you see the love words the Premier said to his wife-master, they always touch your heart.]

[Wuwuwu, Xiao Xiao, Yuan Yuan, may you be together forever.]

Yan Jin didn’t expect to hear this answer from Yu Shu. Her eyes instantly softened a lot. Her lips moved, about to say something, but was hurriedly interrupted by Yu Shu.

“Xiao Xiao, don’t misunderstand. These words aren’t my original creation.” Yu Shu: “This is from a love letter the Premier wrote to his wife-master.”

Yan Jin didn’t expect Yu Shu to interrupt her for this reason. For a moment, she was a bit speechless. “…I know.”

Back then, Yanzi had shown her this quote before. They had even sighed over the heavenly love of the older generation.

“It’s good that you know.” Yu Shu breathed a sigh of relief. “I was just afraid you’d see me through rose-colored glasses and think I wrote it. After all, in your heart, I’ve always been a person of outstanding talent.”

Seeing the self-satisfied Yu Shu, Yan Jin chose to remain silent.

Although he only got a small part of the facts right, Yuan Yuan being confident is a good thing after all. She still won’t reveal the whole truth, lest she deflate Yuan Yuan.

Just as the two were intimately talking, the system, which had been silent the whole time, bubbled up.

[Congratulations to the two hosts for achieving the “Mutual Affection” milestone. A special gift has been unlocked. Would the two hosts like to open it now?]

Yan Jin raised an eyebrow. “We’ve been together for three days, and only now is a special gift being unlocked?”

Yu Shu questioned, “Nonsense, we only now achieved the ‘Mutual Affection’ milestone?”

The system spoke in an icy tone.

[After cross-referencing system data, the two hosts had not reached the “Mutual Affection” milestone before.]

As soon as the system finished speaking, Yan Jin and Yu Shu’s eyes met.

Although she likes Yuan Yuan very much now, before this, she indeed didn’t like him this much and even thought about avoiding Yuan Yuan to restore a normal friendship.

Thinking of this, Yan Jin averted her gaze a bit guiltily, not daring to meet Yu Shu’s eyes.

Yu Shu originally didn’t think much of it, but seeing Yan Jin not even daring to look at him, he suddenly realized.

“Xiao Xiao.” Yu Shu pinched Yan Jin’s cheek, smiling without mirth. “Do you want to explain?”

Yan Jin spoke tactfully, “People always change. We need to look at issues with a developing perspective, not with a fixed mindset.”

“So, you admit that what the system said wasn’t wrong?” Yu Shu raised his eyebrows. “You only truly started to like me recently?”

“I liked you before too.” Yan Jin heard the ominous tone in Yu Shu’s words and hurriedly explained, “It’s just that at that time, I thought it was impossible for us to be together, so I suppressed and restrained my feelings.”

Yu Shu: “So according to what you said, should I praise you for not going down a dead end?”

“There’s no need for praise.” Yan Jin: “As long as we turn the page on this matter, it’ll be fine.”

Yan Jin’s expression was too sincere, making Yu Shu embarrassed to dwell on this matter further.

Just as Yan Jin said, we need to look at things with a developing perspective. What’s in the past, let it pass.

If they really wanted to bring up old scores, Yu Shu could dig up a lot of them.

Not to mention anything else, just Yan Jin choosing to stay at the academy to avoid him before, he could talk about it for three days and three nights.

But bringing up old scores affects the relationship, and they have more important matters at hand now.

So Yu Shu lightly pinched Yan Jin’s cheek, considering it a small punishment, and casually turned the page on this matter.

Seeing Yu Shu not mentioning it again, Yan Jin inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if she wasn’t in the wrong on this matter, facing a wronged Yuan Yuan, no matter how much reason she had, she couldn’t argue.

After all, in her heart, Yuan Yuan was more important.

Although coaxing Yuan Yuan took a bit of time, Yan Jin didn’t forget about the important matter at hand. “What gift were you talking about?”

[My imagination is rich. I’m sure it’s a box of “little umbrellas” now.]

[Can you perverted old men pay attention to the occasion? There are kids watching this livestream. Don’t make dirty jokes anytime anywhere.]

[No lewdness allowed, the purity police are on patrol.jpg. Everyone, pay attention to the line, surf green, civilization for you, me, him.]

[The two hosts will have a chance to return to modern times for one day.]

Yan Jin and Yu Shu immediately exchanged a glance.

Yu Shu’s gaze was tense: There’s no free lunch in this world, there must be a catch.

Yan Jin’s brows furrowed slightly: Then let’s ask for clarification first.

The two quickly reached an agreement and refocused their attention on the system.

Yan Jin: “For this gift, are there any additional conditions we need to fulfill?”

Yu Shu: “Although you said it’s a gift for achieving a milestone, you haven’t rewarded any gifts before, so why are you suddenly giving a gift this time?”

[There is indeed one additional condition, but it’s not a difficult matter for the two hosts.]

[Host Yu Shu, win the right to play the Guanyin role at the Lantern Festival; or Host Yan Jin, place first in the county examination.]

Yan Jin: “If we don’t agree, this gift won’t take effect, right?”

[The gift will still be valid. But if the two of you redeem it and don’t complete the additional condition, there will be a random punishment at that time.]

Yu Shu didn’t know how to obtain the right to play Guanyin at the Lantern Festival, but he knew how difficult the ancient imperial examinations were, so he wanted to agree to the system’s request.

But before he could speak, Yan Jin looked at him. “Yuan Yuan, do you want to go home?”

Yan Jin wasn’t homesick. Hearing they could go home only stirred her heartstrings a little. She quickly calmed down.

Although going home was nice, there might be a trap behind it. Yan Jin didn’t want to step into it.

But seeing Yu Shu’s eyes light up at the mention of going home, Yan Jin hesitated.

She could not go home, but Yuan Yuan was different.

The clingy and coquettish Yuan Yuan must have grown up in a very harmonious family.

Yuan Yuan was homesick. He wanted to go home.

Realizing this, Yan Jin changed her mind.

Although placing first was a bit difficult, her learning ability was pretty good. As long as she studied diligently, Yan Jin believed she could still achieve this goal.

“I don’t want to!” Yu Shu said without hesitation. “We’re adults now. When you’re an adult, you should leave home.”
