Lin Qing was taken aback by the voice of the system. She asked " So this is how romance points work? "
The system started to explain " Yes host , the romance points could be earned by creating sweet moments for readers to read and eat dog food and with these romance points , you can steal the halo of the protoganist and help Su Haoyu to steal the halo of female lead!"
Lin Qing was a bit puzzled "What is the difference between protoganist , male or female lead?"
System started to explain " The protagonist is the lucky son or daughter of heaven's, the luck belongs to the world would belong to the protoganist till the plot contuines but it is different for love interests.
They aren't lucky sons or daughters of heaven but good side is neither the female/male lead nor the protagonist could die before reaching their happy ending.
The host came back in time to steal the halo of protoganist, the protagonist is Liu Jun, and his halo would be taken away by the host and same way you're helping Su Haoyu to take down the halo of original female lead."
Lin Qing was confused also became frustrated " You gave me too much information so I don't fully understand.
Tell me,what do you mean till we reach happy ending ? Will we die after reaching the happy ending? If so what's the meaning of my hardwork!"
System quickly explained itself again "No,No,No host , You got it all wrong.
After that point, this world would be freed from the constraints of the plot, and world's luck will return to itself, it means you will no longer be a protoganist and I will also fulfil my mission"
Lin Qing only said "Oh" but she was lost in thoughts.
Su Haoyu continued to drive and thought she was also shy.
When they arrived at Lin mansion it was almost 11 p.m.
As they approached the entrance Lin Qing gave instructions on where to park. "Just pull up here and I'll take care of the rest," she said, pointing to a spot in front of the main entrance.
But Su Haoyu refused "I think I'll leave it with the security guy.
It's late and not safe for you drive" he said, gesturing towards the intercom box by the gate.
Lin Qing mentally gave him thumbs up , his actions showed that he was really responsible towards her.
Both of them got out of the car leaving it to security.
When it was time to leave Su Haoyu couldn't help but feel a mix of sadness and disappointment.
As Lin Qing turned to say goodbye, he felt his heart skip a beat as she suddenly stumbled backwards, her arms flailing as she (pretended to) trip over her own feet.
He rushed to catch her, his hands brushing against her curves as he steadied her.
Su Haoyu's heart raced as Lin Qing collided with him, causing a blush to spread across his cheeks. He turned his head to other side and in an effort to conceal his shyness, he barked, "Why are you such a clutz? Can't you walk properly?" The words left his mouth before he could reconsider them.
He felt regretful for lashing out to her but it was too late to stop his mouth from moving.
He started to curse himself inside his head, " Why can't I control myself, ughh such a idiot, you'll scare her".
As he was drowning in his monologue Lin Qing was watching his facial expression changing every second.
She hold her upcoming giggle , her eyes were sparkling with mischief but it was dark enough for Su Haoyu to not notice.
She hold her face up widening her eyes , she managed to lock him in eye contact with her, she opened her mouth and said in a pitiful voice "I am sorry".
She then started to looking on ground like a reprimanded kid.
He didn't want to scare her more so his voice soften this time ,he said" Be careful next time."
Lin Qing's whole demeanour changed quickly and then she smiled sweetly at him " Thank you Senior Yu for catching me, you're such a gentleman. And tonight was really fun, I hope to see you again next time."
If Su Haoyu had a high emotional intelligence he might have catch these mishaps of her acting but unfortunately for him that he got in the trap she set for him.
His heart was still in a mess as he watched her entering the grand mansion.
Her words were echoing inside his mind ;
"I hope to see you again next time!"
While entering the Lin Mansion , System was joyfully congratulating Lin Qing " Host is powerful, you obtained 0.5 romance points, keep up the good work host!"
