Xia Luwei was led out of the bar by Nan Jinru, and she could feel the icy aura emanating from him. It was clear he was not pleased.
Nan Jinru opened the car door, gesturing for Xia Luwei to get in.
But Xia Luwei didn't move.
Xia Luwei: "I... I drove here."
Nan Jinru: "Where did you park?"
Xia Luwei pointed to the car not far away, and Nan Jinru extended his hand.
Nan Jinru: "Give me the keys. You get in the car first."
Obediently, Xia Luwei climbed into the car and handed him the keys. Nan Jinru walked over to her vehicle.
Sitting inside the car, Xia Luwei watched as Nan Jinru spoke briefly with the bar staff.
Xia Luwei: "Little Six, are you sure everything is fine with the plot? It feels like Nan Jinru is softening a little."
Xia Luwei: "He's not really going back on the divorce, is he?"
System: "Host, don't worry. I'll check again."
System: "I didn't realize it until now, but... surprise."
It turned out the system hadn't activated the plot detection module until now. Upon starting it, the system discovered that the plot had already collapsed by 60%.
Staring at the red exclamation mark, the system felt a chill run down its virtual spine.
Xia Luwei: "Little Six, what's happening?"
System: "Host, don't panic, I have a solution."
System: "Every host receives a newbie gift pack, and I haven't given you yours yet. I'll send it now. If the plot truly collapses, at least you won't be unprepared."
Xia Luwei closed her eyes and let her consciousness drift into the system's space, where she opened the newbie gift pack.
The invisibility cloak seemed normal enough. There was also a bottle of anti-pregnancy pills, a small umbrella, a maid outfit... Wait, was this really a standard newbie gift pack?
The only possibly useful item seemed to be the revival card.
Xia Luwei: "Little Six, are you sure we're part of the plot group and not... another kind of group?"
System: "Host, you must trust me. We are indeed from the plot group. This gift pack was issued by the Main God. I honestly didn't expect such... unusual items to be included."
System: "Had I known, I would have checked the contents before slipping in the revival card. If I had known about these strange items, I would've quietly replaced them."
System: "But don't worry, I'll ask the Main God what happened. Perhaps there was some mistake on their part."
Xia Luwei: "Alright then."
Xia Luwei opened her eyes to find that Nan Jinru had already entered the car and fastened his seatbelt.
Nan Jinru glanced at her, but Xia Luwei didn't understand the meaning behind his look.
Then, he leaned down to fasten her seatbelt. They were so close, Xia Luwei couldn't help but inhale his scent, feeling the warmth of his body. She found herself blushing, her heart racing. It was undeniable—he was the male lead, and even she couldn't help but feel flustered.
She quickly averted her gaze, but Nan Jinru noticed her flushed cheeks and the pink hue on her ears. Instantly, his irritation seemed to dissipate.
The ride was silent. Nan Jinru focused on the road ahead while Xia Luwei carefully stole glances at him.
Nan Jinru: "If you want to say something, just say it. If you want to look at me, do so openly. No need for all this sneaky peeking."
Xia Luwei: "I... I wasn't..."
She quickly turned her gaze forward, not daring to look at him again.
System: "Host, I'm back."
Xia Luwei: "Little Six, what did the Main God say?"
System: "The Main God admitted it was an error in the gift distribution, but since it's already given, they won't take it back. As compensation, if the plot collapses, you won't be punished."
The system was surprised at how accommodating the Main God had been.
Xia Luwei: "Alright, I understand."
She sighed in relief, glad that there would be no punishment.
The car finally pulled into the garage. Nan Jinru got out first, and Xia Luwei unbuckled her seatbelt and followed him.
They entered the elevator together, heading upstairs, one after the other.
