'Hoo, I was about to scream at the Main System if it threw me a romance quest. System, applaud!' Xu Jiaqi burst with joy.
She kept Zenith relatively close not just because she wanted to use him, but also because he could be a potential love target, and it would be easier for her to complete the side mission if it popped up suddenly. She wouldn't need to do more work.
But since the worry was lifted, she felt freed.
As Xu Jiaqi rejoiced, the System was caught in a dilemma. He was a bit afraid to tell the happy Host of the truth.
The reason why it wasn't a romance quest.. Was because Zenith, this man, was already jumping into the pit of love all by himself without even realizing it. He still mostly denied it, trying to shrug it off as just the effect of having been around her for far too much. It was because in his mind, it was impossible for her to love him back, so he suppressed his feelings forcefully. But this led to an even bigger explosion of emotions!
