Alvin remained stiff and did not move for a long time.
After a while, he felt the warm wetness of her tears dampening his shirt, spreading to his shoulder area.
Aurelia cried silently in his arms.
He did not comfort her because he did not know what had happened in those five years. Furthermore, something must have happened since Aurelia was so sad when she reunited with him.
"You said that when you were young, you hated black puppies for some reason. When you saw them, you always felt that you were going to be unlucky."
"You also said that your initial dream was to become a doctor. Your family supported your dream. Your father thought that doctors made a lot of money, and your mother thought that girls would love doctors."
"You did not explain to them the reason behind your dream. One day, you told me the actual reason why you wanted to become a doctor. It was because you wanted to have the ability to save lives."
"But later on, you couldn't stand the anatomy course, so you didn't apply to major in medicine. You thought long and hard about it for an entire night. However, the next day you used a die to decide and applied to major in finance."
"You even lied to your family and said that you had thought it through and knew what you wanted."
"All of these things... you've only ever told me."
"Alvin, do you believe that I'm your future girlfriend now?"
Alvin was stunned because every word was true.
These were things that Alvin kept in his heart, unwilling to share with others.
All of these were on his mind.
He regretted what he had filled in in his aspiration form, so much so that he embarked on a career that he did not like at all.
Therefore, even though it had been a long time ago, he still remembered the matters related to his career.
However, he would not tell anyone about it, because adults have to bear the pain alone.
But if there was one person who was willing to accept everything about himself, Alvin would probably complain about it all to them in some casual late-night chat.
Being in a relationship was actually a process of growth. It made him more honest and aware of himself.
Alvin now completely believed that the Aurelia in his arms really came from the future.
"I believe you."
Alvin replied, "I would also like to apologize to you. I heard that you cried on the side of the road after our encounter at the cafe."
He had heard about this from Jerry. Alvin did not understand Aurelia when they were at the cafe, so he directly rejected the confession. As a result, Aurelia could not control her emotions and thus, cried on the road.
"Yes, I did," Aurelia didn't hide anything and confirmed the matter.
Alvin nodded slightly, "You can tell me. Tell me that you feel very aggrieved. Maybe I'll change my mind."
"I won't tell you," Aurelia answered. "Adults have to bear the pain alone. That's what you always say."
The two of them were silent for a while, and then Aurelia spoke first.
"Alvin, be my boyfriend."
"Roger that."
Alvin did not even think about it. He gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.
Although in Alvin's perspective, the two of them had known each other for not more than half a day.
But according to Aurelia, the two of them had been in love for at least five years. They eventually even held a wedding.
This showed that she was indeed very compatible with him.
Alvin was the type of person who would rather have no one than settle for someone who was not suitable. He would only think of furthering the relationship if it was with someone compatible.
[ Aurelia's Favorability + 10, current 90 (loyal) ]
At this moment, Alvin suddenly heard a strange sound.
...
[ Ding dong ]
[ Detected that the host has started a relationship, loading system... ]
[ Model Boyfriend System, loading completed ]
...
[ The rules are as follows ]
[ While increasing your favorability with specific groups of people, you can obtain the ability that they are best at ]
[ Specific groups of people refer to those who regard the host as their romantic partner ]
...
[ Current Partner: Aurelia ]
[ Favorability: 80 (infatuated) ]
[ As the host has accepted the confession, favorability + 10, current favorability is 90 (loyal) ]
[ Because the favorability has increased by 10 points, the host is rewarded with 100 points for the strength attribute ]
...
[ Host's Current Attributes ]
[ Strength: 140 (↑100) ]
[ Speed: 6.25 ]
[ Reaction Speed: 0.4 ]
[ Firearm Proficiency: 10 ]
...
Alvin was stunned.
System?
Alvin was not very unfamiliar with this thing. In the novels he read before, the main character would always have a heaven-defying system.
Moreover, one would generally have a system if one was reincarnated.
However, the person who had been reincarnated was Aurelia. What did it have to do with Alvin?
But this system had actually been 'installed' on him.
Alvin calmed down and read the contents of the system again.
The general meaning was:
For those who viewed Alvin as a romantic partner, he could obtain the ability the other party was best at while he increased their favorability.
For example, if he increased Aurelia's favorability by 10 points, he would receive 100 points for the strength attribute.
His strength attribute was originally 40 points, but now it had become 140 points.
That was nearly three to four times that of a normal person!
However, Alvin wanted to ridicule Aurelia's best attribute. He couldn't believe that strength was Aurelia's best ability.
However, this also answered the question as to how Aurelia managed to jump so high earlier.
It seemed that his reincarnated girlfriend was not a simple person.
Alvin thought about it and secretly called the system.
"System, can I see Aurelia's attributes?"
He thought that the reason why Aurelia was stronger than ordinary people was probably because of her university major. She was a dance major, so perhaps she had physical training sessions during her course.
[ Aurelia's attribute values, loading... ]

...
Alvin looked at the exaggerated figures and almost dropped his jaw in shock.
After a few breaths, he finally adjusted himself.
Whether it was strength, speed, or weapon proficiency, the figures were all more than one billion!
Alvin knew that he was an ordinary person. The attributes of an ordinary person were all double-digit figures.
However, Aurelia's figures were ten digits! Though her mechanical knowledge was a little lacking.
But her mechanical knowledge figure was understandable. After all, this could be seen from Aurelia's driving skills. She was indeed not very familiar with mechanical things.
But what exactly was going on with these exaggerated attributes?
