As Xia Xin watched her growing number of followers, she felt a mix of joy and concern. After Wan Wan's apology was made public, Xia Xin's followers skyrocketed to nine hundred thousand overnight.

When Xia Xin checked her system's Human Affinity points the next morning, she was astonished to find it had reached two hundred thousand!

Xia Xin boldly speculated that her sudden increased amount of Affinity points was linked to the speed of gaining followers. If she could continue to attract more followers, her Affinity points would undoubtedly increase.

Lying casually on the sofa, Xia Xin gazed at the TV screen absentmindedly. The TV show featured Sun Tao's variety program. Xia Xin couldn't help but admire how good she looked on camera. Thanks to her Charisma attribute, she possessed an innate air of elegance, even outshining the other actresses on the show.

Suddenly, Jing MO walked out of his study. Startled, Xia Xin quickly sat up and lowered the TV volume. She looked upstairs at Jing MO and asked, “Did I disturb you with the loud sound?”

Jing MO shook his head and replied, “No, the groceries I ordered have been delivered, and I'm going to pick them up.”

Xia Xin instantly perked up and inquired, “What delicious dishes are you planning to make for lunch today?”

Jing MO chuckled as he walked down the stairs and said, “Do you remember how, after school, you used to come over and ask me to make braised fish for you? Today, I bought a carp, and I'm planning to make braised carp for you.”

Xia Xin cheered, “I've been missing the taste of your braised fish ever since you left! I'll help you with the preparations!”

After preparing the vegetables, Xia Xin stood by and watched as Jing MO began cooking.

The chopping, stir-frying, and other cooking techniques flowed smoothly and seamlessly like a choreographed dance. In Jing Mo's hands, the spatula was like a warrior's weapon, wielded with great proficiency. The leaping flames in the pan seemed like serpents licking the wok, releasing an intoxicating aroma.

Xia Xin couldn't help but exclaim, “I thought you might have lost your cooking skills after all these years of acting, but you're as skilled as ever!”

Jing MO proudly replied, “It's a talent.”

Just as the meal was about to be ready, Sun Hu arrived. He was about to enter the house as usual but found that the password to the door lock had been changed. He couldn't open the door, so he had to knock.

Seeing Sun Hu, Xia Xin couldn't resist teasing, “Do you have a dog's nose? You must have followed the scent here.”

Surprised by the aroma, Sun Hu exclaimed, “Jing MO, you're actually cooking! This smell is amazing, and I haven't had breakfast yet. Hurry up and give me a big bowl of rice!”

Sun Hu entered the house and sat down at the dining table.

Jing MO gave Sun Hu a cold look and said, “Serve yourself.”

Sun Hu protested, “I'm a guest. It's not right to make a guest serve.”

Xia Xin burst into laughter and said, “I don't see you as a guest at all.”

Sun Hu made a funny face and turned to Jing Mo. Sun Hu said, “Why did you change the password lock? What's the new password?”

Jing MO removed his apron and replied, “There's a girl in the house now, and your unauthorized entry isn't appropriate.”

Sun Hu was left dumbfounded, feeling like he had been locked out due to Jing Mo's fondness for beautiful women. He glanced at the empty room in the house and suggested, “I see there's still an empty room here. How about I move in?”

Both Xia Xin and Jing MO immediately shouted in unison, “No!”

They were stunned for a moment after speaking in unison.

Sun Hu smirked, deliberately fixing his gaze on Xia Xin. He said, “It's fine when Jing MO doesn't want me to come in, but why don't you want me here? Are you afraid I'll intrude on your lovebirds' world?”

Xia Xin blushed instantly and averted her gaze, saying, “Don't make wild guesses. I refuse because that room is meant for storing my things, and if you move in, I won't have any place to put them.”

Jing MO nodded in agreement.

Sun Hu shrugged and said, “Birds of a feather flock together. The more time you two spend together, the sharper your tongues become.”

Admitting defeat, Sun Hu helped himself to food. During the meal, he couldn't stop glancing at Xia Xin and even tried to serve her dishes, making Xia Xin feel uncomfortable. She stared at him and said, “If you have something to say, just say it directly and stop staring.”

Sun Hu grinned and said flatteringly, “Hehe, you're smart, Xia Xin. You can tell at a glance that I have something to say..”
