Chapter 105: Companionship is the Deepest Confession
"This won't work, that won't work, so what do you suggest we do?"
Lu Ran said speechlessly.
Cheng Ning looked up at him with a resentful expression and pleaded, "Do you find me annoying?"
"No, no, when did I ever say I found you annoying?"
Lu Ran broke out in a cold sweat, finally understanding how difficult it was to have a relationship, as described online. Even someone as kind-hearted as Cheng Ning was hard to coax.
He couldn't imagine how those guys with girlfriends who had volatile tempers managed to get by!
Cheng Ning didn't want Lu Ran to think she was an unreasonable person.
So she didn't say anything more and rested her head on Lu Ran's shoulder again: "You don't need to do anything, just leave it like this, I believe in you."
···
After talking with Cheng Ning, Cheng Ning followed Lu Ran's instructions for the next few days, reading for no more than an hour each day and taking a break after every hour.
My daily routine has returned to its previous regularity.
Moreover, she became increasingly confident in handling work, and under her, Liu Nini, and Hu Wen's management, the factory gradually shed its lifeless state and regained its vitality.
Although it was mainly because Lu Ran spent money that the factory had orders to fulfill and the employees could earn money.
But it also depends on excellent management at the top.
At least when it comes to being the chairman of the board, Lu Ran felt that he was not as capable as Cheng Ning. He definitely didn't have the patience to stay with a company every day.
Being able to help Lu Ran in his career, Cheng Ning's days became very fulfilling, no longer like before when she was constantly anxious and worried.
morning.
Lu Ran and Cheng Ning jogged around the outside of the residential area for morning exercise. After a few laps, they switched from jogging to walking.
"It's almost Chinese New Year, and it's just the two of you and your aunt. Why don't you come stay at our place?"
Cheng Ning took Lu Ran's arm and pursed her lips, saying, "Mom said we're going to Grandpa's house for Chinese New Year this year."
Lu Ran nodded upon hearing this: "That's true. Now that things have finally improved, your aunt definitely wants to take you to spend the New Year with your grandfather."
"no."
Lu Ran was taken aback: "Not what?"
Cheng Ning glanced up at him, then lowered her head.
"It's not that the relationship has eased, it's because of you. Otherwise, my second aunt and the others might not have let my mother and me go to my grandfather's house even on the day he passed away."
As she spoke, Cheng Ning rested her head on Lu Ran's shoulder.
"Thank you for being there."
Cheng Ning knew very well how hard her mother had worked, and the only person she cared about, her father, required permission from others even to visit him.
It's not for any other reason than that my second aunt seems to find joy in seeing my mother suffer.
Without Lu Ran, Cheng Ning couldn't imagine how heartbroken and desperate her mother would be if her grandfather passed away without her by his side.
Without Lu Ran, her life might have seen the light again, but it certainly wouldn't be as warm and happy as it is now.
Therefore, she sincerely thanks Lu Ran for appearing in her life.
Feeling Cheng Ning's arms tightening around him, Lu Ran smiled and also gripped her soft hand tightly.
"Could you thank me every day?"
"Can."
"What if I thank you for a lifetime?"
Cheng Ning blushed and whispered, "Mmm."
【Ding! 】
[Companionship is the deepest confession. Although the host and Cheng Ning have never spoken of love, their deep affection is evident in every little detail of their daily lives. Congratulations to the host on successfully finding a partner.]
[Gained 10000 treasure chest experience points.]
[Congratulations, host! Your reward mission has been upgraded to a romance mission.]
[Current Task: The first movie experience after falling in love; Cheng Ning's affection level needs to reach 70.]
[Completion Reward: 2000 Treasure Chest Experience Points.]
[Congratulations, host, you have unlocked the "My Dream Girlfriend" panel.]
Girlfriend: Cheng Ning
[Current Heartbeat Value: 80. (The maximum Heartbeat Value is 100, calculated based on the girlfriend's increased heart rate due to the host. Each time the Heartbeat Value reaches 100, a random Love Skill Card will be obtained.)]
Height: 173cm. Weight: 54kg.
【体质：51。耐力：51。敏捷：49。精神：52。（正常女性及格数值为50。宿主与女友触发执子之手称号效果，也可以查看属于自己的属性值。女友属性点每增加一点，宿主的属性值也会同等增加。）】
[Charm Value: 1/10. (Charm value is assessed by clothing, accessories, vehicle, real estate, etc. Reaching certain charm levels grants rewards including attribute points.)]
[Current Charm Stat Bonus]
【Outfit: 1.】
Lu Ran exclaimed, "Wow, the system has evolved again!"
He had been wondering before that, although neither he nor Cheng Ning had ever said anything that directly expressed their love, given their current relationship, it was obvious that he had successfully found a partner!
The system's silence indicated that he had successfully found a partner, which Lu Ran had assumed required him to say "I love you" to confirm.
It seems alright now. The system isn't that tacky, and the atmosphere is just right today. It's not bad that he's out of singlehood now.
Lu Ran never expected that after finding a partner, the system would not only increase the rewards for completing tasks, but also unlock a bunch of new features.
This "My Dream Girlfriend" panel looks quite interesting.
You can also add attribute points.
Lu Ran is currently wearing the title "Holding Hands" and with a thought, he saw his attribute panel.
[Lu Ran.]
【体质：57。耐力：57。敏捷：56。精神：58。（正常男性属性及格数值为55。）】
Lu Ran asked in his mind, "System, can these attribute points only be obtained through charm points?"
Besides unlocking rewards through charm points and randomly obtaining them through romance quests, attribute points can also be slowly increased through daily training.
"I understand now. No wonder I've been passing all the time. It must be because of the constant training lately. Cheng Ning should be the same."
[Yes, host. 】
"How exactly is this charm stat calculated? Why is it only 1 point?!"
[A girlfriend's charm level is linked to the value of her clothes, accessories, car, house, and other possessions.]
Lu Ran understood: "So that means the more expensive it is, the higher the bonus."
Value is a major factor influencing charm, but it's not the only one!
"Okay, so what exactly is this 'love skill card'?"
[This requires the host to raise their girlfriend's affection level to 100 before obtaining the skill card.]
"Stop talking nonsense. In a gacha game, you can at least check the effects before drawing a card. You're telling me I can't check now?"
A few seconds later, the system popped up a card displaying Lu Ran's dating skills.
[White/Taste Synchronization: Within one hour, you or Cheng Ning can share the taste of any food you eat.]
Lu Ran: ? ? ?
Although it looked a bit abstract, Lu Ran felt that it was somewhat interesting.
But how can I get Cheng Ning's affection level to reach 100?
He just said it was only eighty!
"Does that mean we should kiss? That doesn't seem right!" Perhaps the atmosphere at the venue was a bit off. After thinking for a moment, Lu Ran said, "Let's go see a movie tonight!"
Seeing that Lu Ran had been silent for a long time, he suddenly blurted out this sentence.
Although Cheng Ning was a little confused, she still nodded in agreement.
"Um."
