[Brilliant move! Considering your dao companion at every turn while creating subtle surprises that make them feel cherished!]

Lin Yu sat at the dining table, feeling pleased as he read the replies on his phone.
"Dreaming in Rain: Love you, hubby!"
"Dreaming in Rain: (Mwah) (Mwah) (Mwah)"
"Dreaming in Rain: (Hug) (Hug) (Hug)"
He glanced at Chi Qingshui’s back as she ladled soup, her cool demeanor unchanged despite occasionally stealing glances at him.
Impressive.
She could reply to his messages while maintaining her composure, not even slowing down as she served the soup. Her mental fortitude was truly remarkable!
Though her haste in replying was partly due to being suddenly moved, this time... when faced with Lin Yu’s mention of "if we meet," his little girlfriend’s first reaction wasn’t to immediately remind him to refuse.
It seemed his covert tactics over the past two days had paid off.
At the table, the four of them ate breakfast, each lost in their own thoughts.
Chen Qimeng:
So Xiao Yu doesn’t like the taste of vinegar? I never noticed before. I’ll have to be more careful when cooking from now on!
Chi Qingchi:
Ah… what should I do? Xiao Lin probably isn’t a pervert, right? He won’t try anything at night, will he? How can I sneak out without my sister noticing?
Chi Qingshui:
He drank it! He really did! Is that expression satisfaction or dissatisfaction? Does he not even like slightly sour tomatoes?
Lin Yu:
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host! You’ve completed the urgent mission "Dao Companion’s Morning Meal"!]
[Enjoying a morning meal prepared by your dao companion is one of the great joys of a close relationship!]
[Reward: 300 sect contribution points, 800 spirit stones, 1 free system mall draw.]
His girlfriend was a "benefits fairy"!
The girl who seemed the hardest to please actually had the easiest high-reward tasks to complete!
Early in the morning, she had delivered a full wave of benefits.
Love it, love it.
With time to spare, Lin Yu checked the information panels of the three women to see if there were any tasks he could casually complete.

What a coincidence!
All three women had the same mission.
Lin Yu’s daily tasks also included helping Aunt Qimeng hang laundry.
If… all four of them washed together!
Wouldn’t that mean one action, four times the happiness?
He and Aunt Qimeng often washed their outerwear together.
But with his roommates, they weren’t that close.
Especially since they were all girls.
Mixing dark fabrics into their soft, pastel ones wasn’t something ordinary female roommates would easily accept.
As for now…
This was a good opportunity to test the Chi sisters’ tolerance levels.
Before the main event, proper buildup was essential.
He had to sweet-talk the girls into a blissful state before the real feast could begin.
"So delicious, Big Chi! I’m seriously impressed!"
[Ding!]
[Brilliant move! Sincere praise that delights your dao companion!]
[Reward: 50 spirit stones]
Chi Qingshui remained expressionless, merely nodding.
"It’s not that big a deal…"
Lin Yu took two more big spoonfuls and gave a thumbs-up.
"No, really, it’s amazing."
"Can you teach me sometime? I’d love to learn so I can…"
He pretended to hesitate before continuing:
"...make it for Aunt Qimeng!"
[Ding!]
[Brilliant move! Feigning hesitation while genuinely caring for your dao companion, moving them deeply!]
[Reward: 50 spirit stones]
[Ding!]
[Brilliant move! The host willingly learning something he’s not good at for the Acting Sect Leader, earning her gratitude!]
[Reward: 20 spirit stones]
Lin Yu internally:
This is the art of speech!
Chi Qingshui: "I-I’m not that skilled. It’s nothing special. You can watch next time."
Chen Qimeng: "I-I’m fine with anything, really. No need to trouble yourself, Xiao Yu. Thank you."
Chi Qingchi: "C-Can I join and eat too?"
Seeing that the "Yan Kingdom map" had been laid out smoothly and everyone was in high spirits, it was time to reveal the dagger!
Lin Yu casually brought up:
"I need to wash a few light-colored shirts later. Are any of you… planning to use the washing machine?"
"If you are, you can go first. I only have two pieces—I can just hand-wash them."
Here it was!
The test of their conscience.
Lin Yu had just buttered them all up nicely.
Would they really let him resort to hand-washing?
Reciprocate, fellow sect members!
Chen Qimeng was the first to speak up:
"I have some light-colored clothes and a skirt to wash too, Xiao Yu. Just give me yours."
"If Qingshui and Qingchi need to wash, they can go first. We can wash ours together afterward."
Heh!
With the lovely aunt setting the precedent, she’d given the girlfriend and the shut-in a model to follow.
Especially Aunt Qimeng’s line:
"You go first, we’ll wash together later!"
Unconsciously, it was like placing a weight on a balanced scale—one with the force of a thousand pounds.
It lifted Chi Qingshui’s prideful heart entirely.
What do you mean "you" and "we"?
Shouldn’t it be "you" and "us"?
Weren’t we just interacting a moment ago?
Territorial instinct exploded in Chi Qingshui's mind at that very moment.
She followed up by saying,
"I don’t have many light-colored clothes either—just three light short-sleeves."
"Washing them separately would waste water. There’s no need."
Chi Qingchi was thunderstruck: "!!!"
What the—?
Did my sister leave her "aloofness" in the room when she went out today?
...
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
