81: Is this even possible?!
Tang Xinyi did not refuse, but as her small hand was held by Xu Zimo, her heart rate suddenly quickened, and her cheeks quickly flushed.
She subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back, but Xu Zimo's hand was warm and strong, making her somewhat reluctant to break free.
The two walked slowly, hand in hand.
It wasn't until she saw her mother, Chen Yaqin, standing at the doorstep that Tang Xinyi suddenly panicked and quickly pulled her hand back.
"Auntie."
Compared to her panic, Xu Zimo appeared much calmer.
"Come in quickly, the food is getting cold."
Chen Yaqin's eyes crinkled into a smile.
It worked!
As the two entered the living room, her younger sister, Tang Xinyao, was just coming out of her room, and she had even locked her door from the inside.
It was as if she was afraid her older sister would go in and take away her tablet and laptop.
"Brother-in-law, come and sit."
She obsequiously pulled out a chair at the dining table, smiling sweetly as she called out to Xu Zimo.
Tang Rong's brows furrowed when he heard her address him that way.
He was about to gently scold his youngest daughter, but his wife enthusiastically welcomed Xu Zimo.
In the end, he swallowed his words.
Today's meal was even more lavish, with all sorts of seafood, which of course, Xu Zimo insisted on paying for.
During the meal, Tang Xinyao took out her new phone and snapped a series of photos of the dining table.
This made Chen Yaqin notice something amiss: "Xinyao, where did you get that phone?"
"Brother-in-law bought it!"
Tang Xinyao answered without hesitation.
She had already gotten used to calling him brother-in-law throughout their journey.
"Zimo, why did you spend so much again? Xinyao is still in school, she doesn't need such a good phone..."
Chen Yaqin's scolding was mixed with a hint of subtle helplessness and emotion.
If one had the means, who wouldn't want to give their children a better life?
Ultimately, it came down to not having enough money.
"Auntie, it's just a small token of my appreciation, aMeeting gift after all," Xu Zimo said with utmost humility.
During dinner, even Tang Rong's attitude towards Xu Zimo became much warmer, and he would occasionally bring up topics.
He had experienced many ups and downs in human relationships recently, especially these past few days looking for a job, where the feeling of being picked apart made him deeply disheartened.
Although his daughter had only just started dating Xu Zimo, even before their relationship was fully confirmed, Xu Zimo had already given such significant gifts.
It wasn't that he was greedy for those things.
Rather, Xu Zimo's actions made him feel very reassured.
Moreover, he wasn't home today, and it was Xu Zimo who brought a lawyer to help them out.
Tang Rong couldn't help but wonder.
Should he accept that watch?
If he were to return the watch at this moment, would it cause some misunderstanding and make Xu Zimo feel disheartened?
After all, in a sense, not accepting the other party's gift would also mean that he, as a father, was refusing and not allowing them to date.
At this moment, Tang Rong suddenly felt that his wife seemed to have more foresight than him.
Watching Xu Zimo enjoy himself with her family, Tang Xinyi's heart was stirred by an ineffable ripple.
It was a complex emotion, a mixture of shyness, gratitude, and joy.
It seemed as if the two hadn't yet confessed their feelings to each other, but their relationship had already been confirmed.
And it was the kind that even her parents acknowledged.
After dinner.
Xu Zimo was about to help clean up, but Chen Yaqin stopped him, "You don't need to do these things. Tang Xinyi, take Zimo to rest."
The two were directly ushered into Tang Xinyi's room by her.
After the door closed, the sounds from outside were cut off, and almost subconsciously, the two looked at each other.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still.
Under the light, Tang Xinyi was so charming, so sweet, especially her slightly parted lips, which made one feel an uncontrollable urge to kiss them.
As Xu Zimo took a step forward, the distance between them was so close that they could almost hear each other's heartbeats.
No words were needed.
Xu Zimo lowered his head and captured her small lips.
"Mmm!"
Tang Xinyi's eyes immediately widened, and her hands rested somewhat helplessly against his chest, but before she could exert any force, she lost all strength the next moment.
Because her teeth had already given way... After an unknown amount of time.
When the two separated again, she was breathing heavily, her eyes hazy and shimmering.
The arm that had been resting against Xu Zimo's chest had, at some point, wrapped around his neck, and their bodies were pressed tightly together.
After a while.
It was only when she came to her senses that Tang Xinyi felt it was inappropriate, and she quickly withdrew her arm, her pretty face turning crimson, like peach blossoms blooming in spring.
Their relationship was developing too quickly.
Tang Xinyi was also a little confused.
They hadn't spent much time together, yet why did she feel no resistance at all to Xu Zimo's closeness?
Even holding hands.
Even... now.
She had just lost her first kiss.
This was something she could never have foreseen.
In Tang Xinyi's mind, she should only... accept such things on her wedding night.
When she looked up again at Xu Zimo, her eyes revealed an emotion called dependence.
Therefore, the two did not pull away.
At this moment, Xu Zimo was also a bit stunned, because the Host actually popped up a notification.
"Congratulations, Host, for achieving an intimate relationship with Tang Xinyi, activating the relocation fund."
"Ding!"
"You have received a relocation fund of 89,000,000. Note: (This fund can only be used for Tang Xinyi)"
No way?
Does just kissing count as achieving an intimate relationship?
Well... thinking about it, if they can kiss, it certainly counts as establishing an intimate relationship.
Name: Tang Xinyi (Affection: 50/100) [Received relocation fund 89,000,000. Note: (This fund can only be used for Tang Xinyi)]
Age: 23
Height: 172
Weight: 56kg
Appearance: 89
Figure: 90
Experience: T1
Good heavens.
Xu Zimo exclaimed, "Good heavens."
If this also counts as experience, then many things can indeed be avoided in the future.
After having the Host, he could accept a woman being materialistic, but what he absolutely could not accept was betrayal!
And the existence of the Host allowed him to be completely at ease.
"Cumulative Affection: 110 (Can exchange for 1 attribute point, do you want to exchange?)"
Xu Zimo originally wanted to directly add it to stamina, but then he paused.
Hmm... no rush.
Adding attributes also has a healing effect!
Can't waste it.
He didn't pay too much attention to the Host, his gaze falling back on Tang Xinyi's face.
So beautiful.
Most importantly, the affection and dependence in her eyes touched Xu Zimo's heart.
She's a good girl.
He didn't want to miss her.
So, he lowered his head again... This time, Tang Xinyi's small lips were slightly swollen and red.
However, not only did it not affect her overall beauty, but it made her look even more beautiful and charming.
This time, she was no longer shy.
It seemed that from this moment on, she had already recognized the man in front of her.
"Tang Xinyi Affection +30"
"Please give some free gifts to pay for electricity, please, please~~~~(>_<)~~~~"
