Over the next couple of months, three months to be exact, Zhou Lang and Xiao Yunhua went out on multiple dates. A month after their first date, Zhou Lang romantically asked her to be his girlfriend. With the bouquet of roses in his hand, his look of adoration, plus, getting closer to her goal, she couldn't say no.
So with the title of 'girlfriend' hanging on her neck, she and Zhou Lang were nearly inseparable. They had plenty of dates, as established, but he would always make sure to be there at every performance of hers. His unspoken support was really sweet and made Xiao Yunhua feel a type of guilt for using him. But thanks to Xiao Taotao's constant reminder that she was prolonging her mission and there'd be trouble from the system, she had no choice but to endure and continue.
She understood why the system didn't place him as her target. The more time that she spent with him, the more she realized something: he was more like the best friend that she never had.
