OFR – Chapter 183 Chat.

After holding the embrace for a few seconds, Mu Xiaoxiao reluctantly let go, then looked up at the boy in front of her. He had grown even more delicate and handsome compared to their childhood days. Her beautiful eyes shimmered with a faint mist of joy.

“Long time no see.”

“Long time no see, I’ve missed you.”

Two nearly identical greetings were spoken almost simultaneously.

This made both of them smile at each other before walking toward the dining table under the welcoming voices of the others.

As Mu Bai walked over, he couldn’t help but feel a little dazed while looking at Mu Xiaoxiao, who had become even more stunning over the years.

When they were kids, he had always thought Mu Xiaoxiao was pretty, but only on par with Wang Yuwei.

But now, he realized that Mu Xiaoxiao’s beauty had already far surpassed Wang Yuwei.

In fact, without him even realizing it, she had reached a level comparable to Han Mengyun!

At least a 90+ in looks, right? Probably even higher?

Looking at that breathtakingly enchanting face, Mu Bai couldn’t help but think.

“Scan.”

Out of habit—and curiosity—he activated his scanning skill to check Mu Xiaoxiao’s exact beauty score.

A few seconds later, tiny glowing words appeared before his eyes, displaying her basic attributes.

Ding! Scan successful. Mu Xiaoxiao’s basic attributes are as follows:

• [Name]: Mu Xiaoxiao
• [Age]: 21 years old
• [Height]: 170 cm
• [Beauty]: 99 points—perfect, devastatingly beautiful. Any more points and she might become too proud.
• [Figure]: 96 points—golden proportions, flawless.
• [Danger Level]: C-Level—A celebrity with tens of millions of fans, earning tens of millions annually, and currently gaining popularity in the entertainment industry.
• [Intimacy Level]: 100 points—The only person the system has encountered who has reached full intimacy with the host. Her feelings for the host surpass those of family or a romantic partner.
• [Trust Level]: 100 points—Low danger level, full intimacy score, completely trustworthy.

“Huh? Intimacy level at 100?”

Mu Bai had expected Mu Xiaoxiao’s beauty, figure, and danger level scores, but seeing her intimacy and trust levels maxed out surprised him.

He never imagined that Mu Xiaoxiao’s feelings for him would reach full capacity. After all, an intimacy level of 90 already signified a deep bond, akin to a loving married couple—let alone a perfect score.

Although Mu Bai himself saw Mu Xiaoxiao as his only family aside from his grandfather, if he were to honestly assess his own feelings, his intimacy score with her wouldn’t reach 100—probably capping at 90 at best.

So, seeing how much she valued him stirred a wave of emotion in his heart.

“You haven’t had lunch yet, right? Here, take these.”

Mu Xiaoxiao pulled Mu Bai to the table, found a new set of utensils for him, and personally unwrapped them before placing them in front of him.

This simple, affectionate gesture made many of the male classmates watching sigh inwardly: “The world owes me a Xiaoxiao!”

Although they were envious, they had long been used to Mu Xiaoxiao treating Mu Bai exceptionally well since their school days.

So, they weren’t too surprised and resumed chatting.

Among them, several guys who had feelings for Mu Xiaoxiao started trying to win over Mu Bai.

After all, if they could get on the good side of this “little brother,” their chances of winning over the goddess would increase significantly.

However, Mu Bai, who was used to a quiet and low-profile life, suddenly being surrounded by so many people trying to talk to him, felt a little uncomfortable.

He glanced at Mu Xiaoxiao’s devastatingly beautiful face beside him and sighed inwardly.

Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t notice Mu Bai’s discomfort. She continued placing food on his plate with a smile and said, “Here, eat up. After this, I’ll take you somewhere fun.”

“Hm? Where to?”

“A charity auction tonight. You’ll be my pretend date. Oh, and my aunt will be there too. I’ll ask her to help you find a job.”

“Help me find a job? That’s not necessary.”

“Ugh, Bai, when are you going to stop being so stubborn about this whole ‘manly pride’ thing?”

“I’m just speaking my mind.”

“Then what do you do for work now? Tell me,” Mu Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

“It’s a long story, kind of complicated. Hard to explain in just a few words,” Mu Bai replied vaguely.

“Then make it short.”

…

As the two of them chatted softly, Li Yanyun, who had been silent until now, quietly observed the young man before her.

His delicate and handsome features, slender frame, and calm, composed demeanor all pointed to his impressive qualities.

She had to admit—this boy did have the kind of charm that girls would be drawn to. Among his peers, he was indeed outstanding.

This realization shattered the unimpressive images she had imagined of him.

But even though her opinion of him had improved, she still believed that Mu Bai was far from being a match for Mu Xiaoxiao.

The gap between them was simply too vast—perhaps even an entire lifetime wouldn’t be enough for him to catch up.

So, she wanted to say something to make him understand reality.

After all, the company didn’t allow rising stars to date during their peak popularity, and Mu Xiaoxiao was a top-priority talent being groomed. They couldn’t afford to have an unstable factor like this boy by her side.

But just as she was contemplating how to bring this up, she suddenly noticed something unexpected—

A glimpse of Mu Bai’s wristwatch peeking out from his sleeve.

For a moment, she was stunned.

Her carefully planned words were instantly thrown into disarray.
