1133 Words
Xia Qianqian looked at the app that suddenly popped up, laughed to herself, and then tapped to open it out of curiosity. 'Please enter your requirements for the shared boyfriend, meeting location, and rental duration. We will do our best to meet your needs.' Upon opening it, a new interface appeared with a line of text and information fields. "Could this be real? Do these services exist now? Never mind, I need a shield anyway, so let's try it." Xia Qianqian smiled at herself. Wasn't she in need of a boyfriend now? Regardless of its authenticity, it was worth a try. "Let's see, requirements... Nothing too high. Just the most handsome man in the universe, the best body would do. Plus, he must know how to cook, as my mom prides herself on her cooking skills. I need him to outshine her. He's got to be able to drink; my dad likes people who can hold their liquor. And... he's got to be able to sweet-talk girls, as my quirky little sister is not so easy to deal with... Yeah, that's about it. If you can meet the requirements, let's meet tonight at eight at Xianghe Community. Rental period... one night." Xia Qianqian chuckled mischievously as she filled out the information form. Since she wasn't even sure if this shared boyfriend was real, she wrote down an exaggerated list. The next moment, the interface changed. "Order placed successfully. Please pay attention to your phone." "It worked just like that? Xia Qianqian was stunned; she remembered that she hadn't made any payment. Is it possible that this shared boyfriend service doesn't require payment? Meanwhile, at Lin Yi's place, he had just put his belongings on the sofa and was about to shower when the system's voice resounded in his head. "There is an order request. Please, host, accept the order." "Someone placed an order?" Lin Yi quickly slid open the interface. Sure enough, there was an unaccepted order in the order task column. "Accept the order..." Lin Yi immediately clicked to accept. "Order accepted. The system is transforming you according to the first goddess's requests..." "Host facial appearance transformation beginning; the target is the most handsome in the universe..." "Host physique is being transformed; the target is the universe's best..." "Host to integrate super culinary skills..." "Host to integrate super seduction skills..." "Host to integrate super drinking capacity skills..." "Transformation complete. Please verify, host..." Lin Yi felt a mist enveloping him as the system's voice filtered through. Once the fog had dissipated, he saw in the mirror a man so handsome he was hard to believe to be accurate. The man in the mirror had fair skin and well-defined muscles – not bulky, but sleek and balanced. He even had a six-pack that complemented his arms and long legs – a perfect body. Even more captivating was his face – sharp eyebrows, cheeks like fine jade, and skin as smooth as milk. No matter from which angle you looked, he was flawless. "If this isn't me, then who is it?" Lin Yi nearly shrieked. The face was his, but the features and aura differed. Even he wanted to kiss that face. Before this, Lin Yi was just a refined-looking young man. This transformation was beyond handsome. If he stepped out, he'd surely outshine all the fresh young meat around him. "What background does this goddess have to be so demanding? The most handsome in the universe, top physique, and a master of cooking, seduction, and drinking? Perfect! But I like it..." Lin Yi chuckled inwardly. How could he not? The higher her demands, the more they benefited him. But Lin Yi understood he needed to get that five-star rating. "Xianghe Community, coincidentally, it's not far from where I live." Thinking this, he grabbed his clothes to dress. "Lin Yi..." Just as he was about to put his clothes on, a girl's shout echoed from the door. "Bang, bang..." Before Lin Yi could turn around, the door was kicked open. Standing there was a 16 or 17-year-old girl in a school uniform, cute and petite, with braided hair and a vibe of youthful vigor on her fair face. At first glance, the girl, who appeared demure and literary, gave everyone a shock with the forcefulness of her kick that had knocked the door open, making her seem utterly different from the delicate appearance she presented. "Xiaojing... what brings you here?" Seeing the girl clearly, Lin Yi shrank his neck slightly. Her name was Xu Xiaojing, and she was the landlord's daughter. Despite her young age, her methods were far from what her years would suggest. Rumor had it that she was a Cloud City Taekwondo club member and even a black belt in Taekwondo. Previously, in their residential area, there was a hooligan who refused to pay rent and even verbally abused the landlord. That night, she barged into the hooligan's home and beat him so severely he had to be hospitalized, and in the end, the miscreant had no choice but to settle his rent in full. After that incident, Xiaojing's fame spread throughout the community; everyone became very cooperative once people heard she was coming for rent. And now... Lin Yi had fallen just one month behind on his rent, and she was at his door. "Ah..." But before Lin Yi could get a word out, Xu Xiaojing, with her face flushing and eyes wide, uttered a piercing scream and then turned to flee. Lin Yi stood frozen. Had she seen a ghost? "Xiaojing, what's wrong?" Xu Xiaojing had just rushed to the other end of the hallway when her mother, a woman in her thirties still carrying the charm of her youth, hurried over, visibly worried for her daughter. She had heard her daughter's scream and came running without delay. "Mom, Lin Yi, he... Lin Yi..." Xu Xiaojing was pointing toward Lin Yi's room, her face a mix of anxiety and disbelief. "Lin Yi? Did that bastard bully you?" Seeing her daughter's almost tearful face, Chen Lan immediately assumed that Lin Yi, the scoundrel, had taken advantage of her when she went to collect the rent. "No, Mom, it's not that, it's... it's..." After noticing her mother's angry look, Xu Xiaojing hurried to explain but couldn't find the words to start. "What do you mean, 'not that'? Daring to bully my daughter – I'll have to teach him a lesson..." Chen Lan was livid; rent was owed to her, and now her daughter was being bullied, and she wouldn't stand for it. "Mom..." Xu Xiaojing hastily followed. "Lin Yi, come out here... you..." Chen Lan opened the door to Lin Yi's apartment and began to shout as she entered. But her tone suddenly softened as she was about to release her fury.
