'OH? Petty tricks. He wants to charm me? Interesting. Let's play along and see how far he'll go,' Rui Huaein thought, a playful smirk on his face. Slightly opening his eyes, Rui Huaein 'seemingly' couldn't take his eyes away from Lan Huyan.
'It worked!' Lan Huyan thought. Thinking his skill worked, Lan Huyan was so happy he could go through the roof.
"And you?" Lan Huyan questioned, smiling bashfully at Rui Huaein as he thought his skill worked.
"I'm Rui Huaein, your Master," Rui Huaein responded. Lan Huyan smiled and twitched upon hearing Rui Huaein's response. His bashfulness melted like a spring frost.
"Haha!" Lan Huyan laughed awkwardly, but a look of displeasure and incredulousness was evident in his eyes.
'Pfft! Ha! Haha!' The voice in Rui Huaein's head burst out in an appeal of laughter as he watched the drama between his master and Lan Huyan unfold.
'Ha! Ma-ha-ster! You are so...naughty!haha!' The voice laughed gleefully. Rui Huaein didn't respond as he continued to look 'mesmerized' by Lan Huyan's skill.
"OK. Well, M-M-Young Master Rui, I'll get some rest as I'm feeling 'dizzy' suddenly," Lan Huyan exclaimed, gritting his teeth. Dramatically, with a hand on his forehead, Lan Huyan closed his eyes and fell back on the bed as he was feeling 'dizzy'. And of course, Rui Huaein didn't fall for it.
'Does he think any would believe such pathetic acting skills? Hah! Who did I take back with me?' Rui Huaein thought, sensing a terrible headache to come.
"OK, I'll take my leave," Rui Huaein responded and walked away. Lan Huyan watched him walk away and closed the door behind him. As soon as the door closed behind Rui Huaein, and he heard the receding footsteps die down, Lan Huyan flew up from the bed in a panic.
'System! System!' Lan Huyan called out in urgency.
"Hah! Host, what's with the screaming? Do you have no idea how deafening it is? Right, you don't have any idea? Hah! What seems to be the problem host?" Pixie reprimanded, materializing in solid form.
"Is there a bug in the system?" Lan Huyan asked just as Pixie stopped talking.
"Bug? Host, are you feeling weird? Wait, let me check," Pixie responded, concern evident on his face. Floating from Lan Huyan, Pixie placed two robot fingers at his temple. A blue laser-like light shot out from his eyes and onto Lan Huyan's body, scanning Lan Huyan's entire body. Pixie's eyes were coated with characters as if encrypting or creating a programme.
"Huff! Host, you are OK. There's no bug. You scared me to death just now!" Pixie exclaimed after a sigh of relief. With a look of disbelief, Lan Huyan stared at Pixie.
'Why does he remind me of someone?' Li Jun thought incredulously. He then felt as if invisible eyes were gaping at him. With a shake of the head, Lan Huyan placed that thought at the back of his head.
"Hah! Not me! But the Male Lead, Rui Huaein! Didn't you see what happened?" Lan Huyan responded with an earnest expression.
"Yes, but there's nothing wrong with Male Lead," Pixie replied, not quite catching onto Lan Huyan's concerns.
"I don't know, it felt as if my skill just now didn't have any effect on him," Lan Huyan added, his hand rubbing at his chin.
"That's impossible. I would have sensed it and the headquarters would have informed me about it," Pixie responded with a shake of head.
"Furthermore, if he was a transmigrator, I'd have been notified, and I would have sensed it. However, if they had a top-ranked system, it would have been almost impossible to know. But this is a lower-level world. A system of that caliber won't be here, and they can't be," Pixie finally concluded, ridding Lan Huyan of his unfounded suspicions.
"Hmm. I guess you're right. Forget about that, I need the plan to increase the Male leads love meter and quickly complete the tasks," Lan Huyan said, his hand brushing his invisible beard, placing the suspicions at the back of his mind.
"Well, have the host forgot? There are numerous ways to increase the Male Lead's love meter and then finish the other tasks," Pixie responded.
"Huh? How?" Lan Huyan replied, not so sure where Pixie was going with the conversation.
"Well, host, to quickly increase the love meter and gay meter of the world's protagonist, you just have to make him fall for you and not the heavenly daughter. You can try kissing if that doesn't work, masturbating as what people in your world would call it could work, also, oh and this is a guarantee, having or-" Pixie was ruthlessly cut off before he could finish his sentence.
"Wait, wait, wait. What are you going on about? What did I forget? When did you ever mention these things!?" Lan Huyan asserted loudly, his face flushed at Pixie's bold words.
"Oh, didn't I mention it to the host?" Pixie asked, clearly confused and at a loss for words.
"No! You didn't, and if you had, I probably wouldn't have accepted being a part of this!" Lan Huyan seethed.
"Now, now host, no need to get all sullen and upset. We could do this step by step. But do remember the task must be completed in three years, so you can decide how you wish to get them completed," Pixie responded, turning his back to Lan Huyan and then disappearing back to his space.
"But I am a straight man!! I only love girls! Women! Ladies! Ahhhh!" Lan Huyan pulled at his here and screamed in distress and frustration.

The Day After (Third Day)
"Pan Ye, Lu Shengyuan sends off Your Grace. We wish you a safe journey," Pan Ye and Lu Shengyuan simultaneously said.
"Hmm," Rui Huaein responded. Following behind Rui Huaein are Fang Hai and Lan Huyan. Lan Huyan, upon seeing Pan Ye, no longer had any big adverse reactions like before. However, he was nonetheless skeptical and a little shaken about being in the same space as Pan Ye. While he was recuperating at Pan Ye's mansion, they would meet occasionally as Pan Ye would try to curry favor with Rui Huaein, so there was no way Pan Ye hadn't noticed him. When Lan Huyan saw Pan Ye for the first time, he was scared shitless as Pan Ye always stared at him without blinking. Scared that he would be taken advantage of and his chrysanthemum taken by force, Lan Huyan clung to Rui Huaein like a newborn baby. Rui Huaein strangely didn't mind Lan Huyan's skinship and clingy behavior. Rui Huaein's sudden change of behavior caused Fang Hai to feel depressed because he thought his Master was sick or bewitched by Lan Huyan.
Noticing not only Lan Huyan's strange behavior around Pan Ye but also Pan Ye's strange gazes at Lan Huyan, Rui Huaein knew they've got history. Ordering an investigation, Fang Hai reported to Rui Huaein everything that he knew. After Fang Hai's report, Rui Huaein was amused, so he didn't step in but allowed Lan Huyan to cling to him at every chance.
"You be safe as well, this Young Master," Pan Ye added. With a slight glance at PanY, Lan Huyan's entire body stiffened, his face paled, and his hair stood tall. Pan Ye swiped his tongue over his lips with a soul-pierce gaze at Lan Huyan. Lan Huyan was irked to the point of no return.
'Disgusting!' Lan Huyan thought with contempt.
'System, why does this body not listen to me? I want to slap that perverted man senseless,' Lan Huyan said with resentment and disdain.
'Replying to the host, their is still a thread of the original owner's soul, thus the host's strong reaction to the original owner's fear or any traumatizing experience he had,' Pixie explained.
'But I can't move! I don't want to break down again! It's too painful!' Lan Huyan responded, recalling his traumatizing breakdown/string reaction to Pan Ye. Suddenly, a hand grabbed him by the arm and pulled him to the side.
"What do you think you're doing?" Rui Huaein said. His voice dripping with menace. Pan Ye and Lu Shengyuan shuddered from Rui Huaein's sudden change in demeanor, and the now cold metal touching Pan Ye's neck.
"Forgive my impudence! Your Grace!"
"Forgive my impudence! Your Grace!" Pan Ye and Lu Shengyuan dropped to their knees and pleaded.
"Hmph!" Rui Huaein harrumphed. Stepping up on the carriage, he pulled Lan Huyan with him. After they entered the carriage, Fang Hai withdrew his sword.
"Set off," Rui Huaein commanded.
"Yes, Young Master," Fang Hai responded. Hopping on the carriage, they set off.
'Jyah! Jyah!'
When they could no longer hear the sound of the carriage, Pan Ye and Lu Shengyuan rose from their knees.
'Hah! I almost died! That slut! See how I deal with you when you're tossed aside!' Pan Ye thought, wiping the bead of sweat from his forehead. He had a lustful and dangerous glint in his eyes as he thought about how to deal with Lan Huyan. Lu Shengyuan, on the other hand, was cursing at Pan Ye with resentment and contempt.
'This lustrous bastard! I can't believe I nearly lost my life for this lustrell! Pan Ye, oh, Pan Ye, you'll die in a ditch one day. I wish they cut your c**k off after torturing you for hours!" Lu Shengyuan cursed, glancing at Pan Ye with resentment and disdain.
