"Stop wasting time, Bai. Starting today, you can't take the family car to school anymore. You need to hurry."
Yumi Suo put down breakfast and turned to tidy up the kitchen.
Shen Bai looked at her graceful back, and the panel in his eyes appeared.
"Character: Yumi Suo"
"Loyalty (Affection): 82 (Highly Obedient)"
"Strength: 1.7"
"Agility: 1.5"
"Endurance: 1.6"
"Skills: Cooking LV4, Housework LV2."
"Evolution Charge: 7%"
"Status: Melancholy"
Not bad.
Although her status became melancholy, her loyalty (affection) increased by two points.
This proved that Yumi Suo didn't blame him.
Instead, she was overthinking things herself.
Only three points of loyalty (affection) left.
How tempting.
"Brother, did you notice it too?"
"What?"
Suo Fang Youxi leaned in mysteriously: "Mom got prettier again."
The nourishment of love?
A timely rain after a long drought?
This girl was definitely hinting at him.
"Not at all. Mom has always been like this. It feels like she hasn't changed at all in the past ten years."
Shen Bai's words made Yumi Suo's heart tremble, a slight sweetness rising within her.
Was Bai saying that on purpose for me to hear?
No.
I can't be like this.
This won't do.
"Oh, right! I must have also inherited Mom's excellent genes to be so cute!"
"Eat your breakfast quickly."
Shen Bai quickly finished his breakfast, said goodbye, and rushed out the door.
As soon as he arrived at the bus stop, Shen Bai saw a familiar face.
Kato Megumi, wearing her school uniform and carrying her backpack, stood quietly, seemingly isolated from the rest of the world.

Chapter 005 Kato Megumi's Affection
"Character: Kato Megumi"
"Potential: A"
"Affection: ???"
"Status: Bored"
Before a physical connection, Shen Bai couldn't see Kato Megumi's specific panel.
However, compared to the radar in his mind, the information in front of him had already helped a lot.
He walked over and stood beside Kato Megumi, then turned around: "Hello!"
Shen Bai had a smile on his face, a handsome appearance, and a tall, straight posture. His inherent gentle demeanor made him a popular figure among girls.
But Kato Megumi was slightly startled before turning her head.
"Hello."
Beneath her neat short hair, her unadorned features, taken individually, were unremarkable.
But when these unremarkable features came together, they created an indescribable harmony.
"Is there something you need?"
Kato Megumi was very curious as to why this seemingly very popular boy would notice her unremarkable existence.
"I, my name is Shen Bai."
Shen Bai adjusted his school uniform: "It's a pleasure to meet you."
After speaking, he politely extended a hand.
Only then did Kato Megumi notice that they were wearing the same school uniform, the only two such individuals at the entire bus stop.
"Kato Megumi, please take care of me."
Their hands lightly touched, then separated.
"First year, high school first year!"
"Me too."
"That's really great. I didn't expect to have a friend nearby to go to school with."
"You're really outgoing. We just met."
"Eh, Hui-jiang, you're really too cold."
"However, that doesn't stop us from becoming friends!"
Shen Bai's initiative made Kato Megumi feel a little flustered.
Although she wasn't exactly introverted, she had never encountered anything like this.
But somehow, she didn't dislike this feeling.
"Alright, my new friend, the bus has arrived."
"Bai, you can just call me Bai!"
Shen Bai's smile was still warm and very comforting to look at.
"Bai, get on the bus!"
"Mm, Hui-jiang."
Hearing that address, Kato Megumi felt all the hairs on her body stand up.
But why didn't she dislike it at all?
In a daze, Kato Megumi arrived at the bus door and almost collided with a salaryman holding coffee.
By the time she reacted, she seemed to have already anticipated the coffee splashing out and staining her school uniform and skirt.
This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened.
Because her presence wasn't strong, she was often overlooked like this in daily life.
Just as she thought this unlucky day would start with bumping into this uncle,
A hand landed on her shoulder, pulling her back.
"What's wrong with you? You almost hit my friend!"
The salaryman came to his senses and only then noticed Kato Megumi.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I've been really tired lately."
"Don't apologize to me, apologize to my friend."
"Really sorry."
As expected of a country where the culture of apology thrives, the salaryman was very skilled at this.
"It's fine now!"
It was a very small matter, but it made Kato Megumi's heart surge.
Her gaze towards Shen Bai also became a little different.
