When luck came, there was no stopping it.
This wasn’t because Lin Yu had predicted it in advance.
It was simply that in most romance comics, young men and women would take things a step further in their relationship by kissing each other on the forehead.
Lin Yu had tried the same thing with other girls before.
And the results had been pretty good.
Who would have thought that a casual remark would strike right at Little Chi’s heart?
Everyone around them began cheering.
There were even other people waiting in line behind them.
Little Lin had suddenly said aloud what she had been thinking but was too embarrassed to say herself.
Could there be anything luckier than this?
Chi Qingchi clasped her hands behind her back, pressed her lips together, and nodded.
For a moment, Lin Yu nearly lost himself again.
Hiss…
She looked so much like her!
That movement, that expression, that feeling…
It was practically identical to Elder Chi in one particular moment.
The two of them had still had noticeably different hair colors before.
But ever since Lin Yu’s birthday, both of their hair had become the exact same shade of jet black.
As long as he stayed calm, he knew he could take a look through the system.
But what if, one day, he was half-asleep or his brain was dulled by alcohol?
What if he suddenly said, “Call Brother Tian and tell him to move the product. Call Hei Chai and tell him to grab someone.”
Wouldn’t he be dead on the spot?!
Of course, Chi Qingchi had no idea what was going through Lin Yu’s mind.
She turned around to face him.
Now she was waiting for Lin Yu to make the next move.
A forehead kiss like this…
Lin Yu definitely had to take the initiative!
As a girl, she was entirely on the passive end of things.
Seeing that the two of them were almost ready, the photographer quickly asked, “How is it, you two?”
“Can we start now?”
Lin Yu made an “OK” gesture, then quickly got into position.
He gently wrapped an arm around Little Chi and drew her as close to him as possible.
Little Chi obediently closed her eyes and tilted her head upward.
At the very least, she had to cooperate with Little Lin physically so the picture would look attractive.
Then—
Lin Yu gently pressed his lips against Little Chi’s forehead.
This was a photo shoot, not some private moment when no one else was around.
They had to pay extra attention to how the picture would look.
If he kissed her too forcefully, it would only look awkward.
A gentle kiss, with just the right amount of restraint.
“Good, hold it…”
“Three, two, one!”
The photographer pressed the shutter on the instant camera.
“All right, that’s done. Give the picture a moment to develop.”
At those words, the two of them reluctantly pulled apart.
Chi Qingchi immediately hurried over and took the black card from him as if it were a precious treasure.
That was how instant-camera film worked.
Right after the picture was taken, it was completely black, with nothing visible.
Give it a little time, and the image would gradually appear on its own…
“Did my expression look stiff?”
“It was my first time taking a picture like this with…”
“My first time ever taking one like this. I felt completely tense!”
“Waaah, what am I supposed to do? We don’t even have another chance to retake it…”
Chi Qingchi shook the photograph, visibly concerned about how it had turned out.
Standing beside her, Lin Yu gently patted her back and said, “What are you so worried about?”
“If you’re not satisfied, we can find somewhere later and take a set of sticker-booth photos.”
“You’ll have plenty of chances to take your time choosing!”
Chi Qingchi quickly shook her head and mumbled, “It’s different!”
“That’s not the same…”
“I’m not saying taking sticker-booth photos together would be bad, it’s just…”
“You’re a guy. Aren’t you supposed to understand the whole ‘first time’ thing?”

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)

uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed.
