An increase of 20 points in the dislike ter?
After so many days, this was the highest amount Shen Nanchu had ever received.
Who was it?
Who contributed so much?
The system quietly reminded her, "Host, it's the male lead. He's currently behind you, about ten ters away."
Shen Nanchu imdiately understood.
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Lei Mingyuan, like a cat spotting a mouse.
Lei Mingyuan sensed sothing was off.
Sure enough,
Shen Nanchu instantly changed her expression, flashing Lei Mingyuan a sweet, gentle smile.
"Alright! Why wait for another day? How about right now?"
Lei Mingyuan was baffled.
The woman who had just been so domineering had suddenly turned so delicate and submissive?
And she agreed to have dinner with him?
Right now?
The next second—
Bam!
A fist collided with Lei Mingyuan's face.
"Stay away from her."
Pei Zhengnian's expression was terrifyingly dark.

Shen Nanchu had guessed right.

...
Watching the dislike ter skyrocket, the system trembled.
"Host, I think you've gone too far. The male lead is furious—extrely furious."
Gone too far?
No way.
Shen Nanchu knew her limits.
Pei Zhengnian glared at Shen Nanchu, his eyes burning with uncontrollable rage.
Did this woman really enjoy flirting so much?
Wasn’t provoking him enough?
Did she have to provoke others too?

"You finally ca."
Shen Nanchu put on a pitiful expression.
"This man is so annoying—he insisted I have dinner with him."
"I had no choice but to agree for now."
"Otherwise..."
Pei Zhengnian shot a sharp glare at Lei Mingyuan.
"Otherwise what?"
"He wouldn’t let leave and kept pestering !"
As soon as Shen Nanchu finished speaking, Pei Zhengnian threw another punch—this ti at Lei Mingyuan’s left cheek.
Lei Mingyuan was just a governnt clerk—how could he compare to Pei Zhengnian, a military king?
Instantly, both sides of his face swelled up in perfect symtry.
Lei Mingyuan touched his bruised face, glaring at the furious Pei Zhengnian and the smug Shen Nanchu hiding behind him. He gritted his teeth in frustration.

"Host, the male lead’s dislike ter stopped after reaching 100 points."
The system was genuinely afraid the male lead might tear its host apart.
Thank goodness!
Shen Nanchu pouted.
If she weren’t unsure about the male lead’s limits, she would’ve let things escalate further to milk more dislike points.
This round alone was worth several days’ worth of gains.
It seed she needed to test Pei Zhengnian’s boundaries a few more tis.
As for Lei Mingyuan’s asly late contributions, Shen Nanchu completely ignored them.
Who cared about scraps when there was a feast to be had?
"Go ho!"
Pei Zhengnian commanded coldly.
Shen Nanchu obediently complied, walking into the military compound without protest.
n’s business was best left to n.
She showed no remorse for being the instigator.
"Stay away from her in the future."
Pei Zhengnian’s gaze was like an icy blade, piercing through Lei Mingyuan.
"Or else..."
Lei Mingyuan wasn’t intimidated—if anything, he admired Pei Zhengnian’s intensity.
"Or else what?"
"I’ll make sure you regret being born."
The fury in Pei Zhengnian’s eyes was boiling over.
Watching him seethe, Lei Mingyuan suddenly had an absurd thought—
Did Pei Zhengnian actually have feelings for his sister-in-law, Shen Nanchu?
The idea was quickly dismissed.
Impossible.
Pei Zhengnian was famously upright—he’d never do sothing so improper.
If anyone would, it’d be a playboy like Lei Mingyuan himself.
He scoffed at the notion.
...
Inside the compound,
Shen Nanchu hadn’t walked far before Pei Zhengnian caught up with his long strides.
But he didn’t approach her—instead, he maintained a distance of two ters behind her.
When she sped up, he sped up.
When she slowed down, he slowed down.
This was… unusual.
The system felt its host was playing with fire.
Couldn’t she see the male lead’s face was so dark it could drip ink?
"Host, maybe you should try to appease him?"
"Appease him?"
Shen Nanchu considered it. Why not?
"How many dislike points do I have now?"
"Congratulations, Host! You’ve accumulated 620 dislike points."
Shen Nanchu smiled, half-closing her eyes in satisfaction.
Most of those points ca from Pei Zhengnian.
As expected—the male lead was the best.
"System, do you think if I provoke him again, I can get even more points?"
"…Host, I advise you to be rciful. The male lead might snap."
"His ntal endurance is that weak?"
"If you don’t believe , try it."
"Try? Fine. Worst case, I die trying."
"…"
Just as Shen Nanchu was gearing up for another round, they arrived at the Pei residence.
Pei Zhengnian strode past her and entered first.
(⊙﹏⊙)
Shen Nanchu: "…"
Well then.
She’d just have to test him inside.
In the living room,
Grandpa Pei, Grandma Pei, Father Pei, and Pei’s Mother were all seated. Pei Yunxi and Pei Yunzhou were still out visiting friends.
Seeing Pei Zhengnian and Shen Nanchu enter one after the other, the elders were puzzled.
"Zhengnian, did you go pick up Nanchu?" Pei’s Mother knew Shen Nanchu had gone to see Shen Hong.
"No," Pei Zhengnian muttered. "She had plenty of people willing to escort her. Why would she need ?"
The bitterness in his tone made the entire Pei family turn to Shen Nanchu, their gazes questioning.
Shen Nanchu remained unruffled, leisurely taking a seat on the single sofa opposite Pei Zhengnian.
"That’s right."
"What can I say? I’m just too lovable—flowers bloom for , cars stop for ."
The sheer audacity of her words was staggering.
Pei Zhengnian’s barely suppressed anger flared again.
[Dislike 5 points]
"What’s going on?" Pei’s Mother asked, confused.
"Ask her," Pei Zhengnian snapped.
All eyes in the Pei household fixed on Shen Nanchu.
"I went to the Lei Family today to see Shen Hong," she explained calmly.
"Shen Hong said she wanted to introduce to her brother-in-law."

Shen Nanchu blinked innocently.
"How could I be the type to chase after soone new?"
