As Su Lingxi was thinking about Ling Tian, he was checking his body in front of a full-body mirror.
He had just finished taking a shower, so it was a perfect time to check his body.
'Oh? My face is as handsome as my previous face.'
Ling Tian had black eyes and a cool body.
His black hair coiffed to perfection, and the lineaments of his face were in perfect proportion to each other.
Even though he was not an actor, he was more handsome than most actors in China.
Due to how handsome he was, he even became the most popular person when he was still in university.
It was a pity that his predecessor did not take full advantage of his handsome face, or else he would have many women by now.
'This face can support me in creating a harem. Now, I only need to think about money.'
When he was thinking about money, he suddenly remembered the quest.
'Ah, right. I still haven't checked the reward from the quest.'
He ignored the notification earlier because he was talking with Su Lingxi.
After putting on his clothes, he lay on the bed and checked his status.

'System, how do I take the money?'
He inquired.
[The system will transfer the money to your bank account, Host. You only need to tell me how much money you want to take from the system.]
'Is it safe?'
He did not want the bank to suspect him later.
[Don't worry, Host. It's safe. The bank will not suspect you later.]
'I see.'
Ling Tian then checked the cards in the shop because he had ten Paradise Points now.
'There are only two cards that cost less than ten points, and both of them are useless for now.'
He let out a deep sigh.
"I hope I get another mission soon." He mused.
Shortly after that, his sister-in-law stepped into his room and told him to have dinner with her.
Like before, the duo watched a movie after dinner.
Ye Qianyu did not open her small restaurant because she wanted to rest and spend time with Ling Tian.
At 10:00 pm, the duo headed to their bedrooms and slept.
----
The following day, Ling Tian woke up early.
It was still 05:00 am, yet he was already awake.
When he was about to head to the family room, a quest popped up.
[Ding! Sister-in-law is an important person to Host's predecessor. Make your sister-in-law happy by cooking fried rice. The reward of this mission is based on her satisfaction. The more satisfied she is, the better the reward.]
The corner of his lips twitched.
'Cooking fried rice?'
Ling Tian was not as happy as yesterday when a quest appeared.
The reason was simple.
He did not know how to cook fried rice!
All he could do was only cook instant noodles and eggs.
Other than that, he could not cook anything.
Did he give up on the quest?
Of course not!
He was a man, so he would not give up before trying it first.
'Let me watch how to make fried rice on YouTube first.'
Like in his previous life, there was also a YouTube in his new life.
'It seems simple. Let me try it now.'
Even though it looked simple but he still failed to make delicious fried rice.
The first try tasted like poison.
The second try tasted sour.
The third try was passable.
When Ling Tian was about to make another fried rice, Ye Qianyu stepped into the kitchen.
"Tian?" she was shocked when she saw Ling Tian in the kitchen because, normally, he was still sleeping. "What are you doing?"
"Ah, sister-in-law. I'm cooking fried rice for you." After saying that, he put the fried rice on the table.
"For me?" Ye Qianyu's heart instantly beat with happiness. "You woke up early to cook fried rice for me?"
"Yes." he nodded his head. "Sister-in-law, try it."
Ye Qianyu immediately sat on a chair and tasted the fried rice.
"How is it, sister-in-law?" he inquired.
"Hehe." Ye Qianyu giggled. "Tian, you are not talented in cooking. However, I'm happy because you are willing to wake up early to cook for me."
Right after her voice stopped, notifications popped up.
[Ding! The quest is complete.]
[Ding! Host has received 15 system exp, 15 Paradise Points and 2,200 Yuan.]
'Hmm?!'
He was startled because the reward was better than he thought.
'I see.'
After remembering the quest, he understood why he got a good reward.
'Sister-in-law, you are the best!'
He said in his head.
After having breakfast with his sister-in-law, Ling Tian headed to the backyard to practice martial arts.
Even though his dream was no longer to become the strongest martial artist, he still practiced martial arts because he needed to protect his sister-in-law and future girlfriends.
He also needed a good stamina to fight his women in bed, so he would not stop practicing martial arts.
He just would not practice martial arts every day like in his previous life because he had decided to walk on a different path.
'Huft…Huft…Huft…'
Ling Tian sat on the grass as he breathed heavily.
His backyard was quite big and surrounded by high walls, so he did not feel shy when he took off his T-shirt.
"I will end it here for today.'
After resting for several minutes, he headed to the bathroom to take a shower.
----
Time went by quickly, and without realizing it, it was already 05:00 pm. At this moment, Ling Tian was helping his sister-in-law in her restaurant.
His sister-in-law had a small noodles restaurant called Mingzu Noodles.
It was located a hundred meters from their house.
Her restaurant was famous because her noodles were so delicious.
Some customers even ate outdoors because many people came to her Noodle restaurant every day.
"Tian, send these spicy noodles to table number thirty-five." Ye Qianyu uttered.
"Alright." Even though his sister-in-law had a few employees, Ling Tian often helped her because he liked helping her.
And his handsome face also helped her restaurant increase the sales because most women visited again after seeing his good looks.
"Please enjoy your meal." Ling Tian smiled as he placed the spicy noodles on the table.
"Thank you." The customer responded.
As Ling Tian was serving the customers, Su Lingxi parked her car not far from Ye Qianyu's restaurant.
'It's here.'
Previously, she came to Ling Tian's house, but his neighbors told her that they were in their restaurant.
'It's him! He is serving a customer.'
She immediately got out of her car and walked toward Ye Qianyu's restaurant.
After ordering a noodle, she sat outside.
The seats indoors were full, so she had no other choice but to sit outdoors.
Several minutes later, Ling Tian came with her order. "Lady Su?"
He was startled when he saw Su Lingxi.
He was busy serving the customers earlier, so he did not notice her.
"We meet again, Ling Tian." Su Lingxi smiled.
"I did not expect us to meet so soon like this." He uttered, "But I'm happy to see you again."
At this moment, Su Lingxi wavered whether she should invite him to lunch immediately or not.
'Should I invite him now?'
As she was thinking about inviting him to have lunch with her, her heart suddenly beat fast.
*Thump…Thump…Thump…
Due to how hard it was, she even could hear her heartbeat.
'What is this? Why is my heart beating fast? And why am I feeling nervous, too?'
Countless questions appeared in her mind.
When Ling Tian was about to say something to Su Lingxi, his sister-in-law's voice rang out.
"Tian, where are you?" Ye Qianyu inquired. "Come back here quickly."
"Lady Su, I have to return now." even though he wanted to talk to Su Lingxi, he could not do that because he needed to help his sister-in-law.
When Ling Tian was about to head to the kitchen, Su Lingxi grabbed his right hand.
"Ling Tian, do you want to go on a date with me tomorrow?" due to how nervous she was, Su Lingxi said something different from her plan.
