Arc 1: Chapter 4

The next morning, the sunlight outside the window shone through the half transparent curtains, and a layer of golden morning light fell onto the bed.

On the light gray bedding you could see a head of hair, the natural curls were spread randomly thanks to sleep, the slender and thin body was half hidden under the blanket, and the skin was pale and delicate like the color of milk.

Lin Yuan’s sleeping posture was good and casual. He hugged one pillow in his arms and his corners of his mouth hooked into a natural smile.

Some time later, his eyelashes trembled and he seemed to be waking up.

In a haze, he unconsciously hugged the pillow tighter and rubbed against it comfortably. When his brain completely woke up, Lin Yuan rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up: “521, what time is it?”

521 was originally dormant in Lin Yuan’s consciousness, and when it heard the question it immediately popped out with a ‘piu’ sound: “Dear senior, it’s already 7 o’clock. You can get up now.”

Lin Yuan hummed and stretched out of bed. After washing, he pulled out a set of sportswear randomly from the wardrobe and put it on, and then hopped downstairs to eat breakfast.

The housekeeper with a goatee was checking on the cleaner’s work when he saw Lin Yuan coming down. He immediately greeted him: “Good morning, madam.”

“Good morning, Housekeeper Yuan.” Lin Yuan beamed and nodded.

Housekeeper Yuan said: “Madam got up early. Breakfast is ready, would you like to have breakfast first?”

Lin Yuan was indeed hungry and nodded: “Ok, I’ll have breakfast first.”

Housekeeper Yuan showed him to the dining room and told the attendant to bring up breakfast: “Madam, the chef in the villa doesn’t know your taste, so it was made according to the previous dishes. If anything doesn’t suit your taste, please tell me and I will tell him to change it next time.”

Lin Yuan nodded with a smile and his slightly curly black hair bobbed gently twice: “Yup yup, I know, sorry to trouble you.”

His smiling eyes bent and the dimples on his cheeks became more obvious. He was clean and bright and warm like the sun.

Housekeeper Yuan also smiled. He thought to himself that the new lady was tall, handsome, and had a good temperament. He was all smiles towards him, which was much better than the previous young master Lin Yan.

Breakfast was seafood porridge, pumpkin cakes, and soup buns. Lin Yuan tried a mouthful of porridge and sighed with the same satisfaction as 521: “Wow, delicious! Housekeeper Yuan, the chef here is really good at cooking!”

Housekeeper Yuan smiled and said humbly: “It’s a normal breakfast, nothing special, you’ve overpraised. But I’ll convey your words to the chef.”

“No really, it’s really yummy.” Lin Yuan took a few bites with relish, and thought of Huo Chen. He looked in the direction of the stairs doubtfully and asked: “Housekeeper Yuan, where’s my husband? Where’s Huo Chen? Is he not eating?”

Housekeeper Yuan had never heard anyone call Huo Chen by his name directly and he was stunned for a few seconds. He hesitantly said: “Sir’s appetite has always been bad and he seldom eats breakfast. If he hasn’t come down yet, then he probably won’t be eating.”

When Lin Yuan heard this he frowned gently. He remembered that Huo Chen frequently had no appetite and didn’t eat because of his illness which resulted in stomach pain. He was already mentally ill and it got worse and worse. In the end, he committed suicide. To add on stomach pain was too pitiful.

Huo Chen was Lin Yuan’s first mission target after becoming a host, and according to the system requirements, he not only needed to eliminate the blackening value but also needed to ensure the safety of his life within the specified time period.

To have good health, you first have to eat well.

Lin Yuan decided that starting from this meal, he would arrange goals for this task. He quickly said: “Housekeeper Yuan, you let the chef prepare me a portion of breakfast. I will go upstairs and give it to him.”

Housekeeper Yuan was a little hesitant and worried that Lin Yuan would make Huo Chen angry. But recalling that the two of them were married and legal husbands, he still nodded and agreed: “Yes, madam.”

Lin Yuan immediately wolfed down his food. After he finished eating, he took the breakfast that the chef prepared and walked to the door of Huo Chen’s room.

“Dong, dong, dong.”

He knocked three times, and with a clear and jubilant voiced called out: “Huo Chen, it’s time for breakfast~”
