Romantic Tension.

Han Lingshi agreed to stay and Hao Ren rushed downstairs to get her a set of toiletries, and some night suits. The society was akin to a mini city, it was inaugurated three days, ago, but all the facilities were already working as if it was a bustling place. The management made sure that none of the occupants suffered any trouble. 

Many people had come over to take possession of their houses, Hao Ren did not use many of the automated features but other people did not hesitate, well he listens to the crowd when he comes down to shop. 

He entered the shop and picked up a set of premium toiletries and then moved to the night suit section. He did not waste much time, and based on his instinct, selected a sky blue linen pajama set for Han Lingshi by guessing her size. He also picked up a pair of tops for her, and a pair of leggings to match them. 

He decided to buy her designer clothes in the future when he makes money, and the system said, *Ding: That is the way to do it, Host! Keep it up!*

Hao Ren rolled his eyes and came to the cash counter. The lady smiled at him and asked while scanning the products, "Shopping so late at night, did your sister visit you abruptly?" 

The young man smiled but did not reply. Was he a noob who did not understand how gossipy these sells women were. He paid a total of ten thousand yuan on these things and left. Yeah, his heart would have bled if this money was his hard earned, but he could not possibly get Han Lingshi any cheap goods when she was staying over, could he? 

...

Hao Ren came back home, and found Han Lingshi sitting on the couch. The girl looked at him and asked, "You are gasping even when you came by elevator? What is going on?" 

The young man replied while catching his breath, "Well, I was afraid that you would run away. So I ran from the shop to the building." 

Han Lingshi blushed a little but she found him very cute. She did not ask him why he thought like this, after all, she did have a thought to run away, but then she thought how happy he looked when she agreed to staying over. What she did not tell Hao Ren was that at the charity event, someone was trying to make moves on her, but she could not say anything against the attempt as the person belonged to the prominent family in the city and her parents were there on the scene. 

While she was lost in thought, Hao Ren handed over the articles he had bought and led her to the master bedroom. Han Lingshi was surprised, and thought that Hao Ren wanted to stay in the same room as her. She back off and said loudly, "Hao Ren did you get the wrong idea when I said I would be staying over for the night?" 

The young man turned around abruptly and asked, "Why do you say that, Miss Han? Did I make a mistake?" 

Han Lingshi furrowed her brows and berated him, "Don't act innocent with me, if you have no motives then why did you bring me to the master bedroom?" 

Hao Ren was surprised and then he chuckled loud. Han Lingshi looked at him as he he was a creep and clenched her fist. She was ready to punch him in the face and run away, when Hao Ren said, "You got it wrong. This room has never been used. I took a smaller one. I felt very uncomfortable in this room on my own. You can check, I use that room." 

He pointed at the adjacent room, and Han Lingshi went in to check. She came back with a blush on her face. Because in the washroom she saw Hao Ren's undergarments, and for a moment, her thoughts could not help but go astray. She spoke in a low voice, "Sorry, I misunderstood you." 

Hao Ren shook his head and said, "I am happy that you trusted me enough to stay here tonight. I do not wish for anything more than being friends with you at the moment." 

Han Lingshi raised her eyebrow and questioned, "So you intend to be something more than friends later on?" 

Hao Ren smiled shrugged his shoulders as he said, "Who knows? Let the nature take its flow. I have placed all the things inside, you can use them, call me if you need anything." 

Han Lingshi nodded and entered the room. Hao Ren did not stay idle out of the room, he went to the study room and turned on the computer. He was going to read a little to brush up his financial acumen, so that he could use the basic skill bestowed by the system in a much efficient manner.

Hao Ren was a cautious person and he was just about to start reading the article on his screen, when he heard Han Lingshi calling for him. He sighed and mumbled, "This is true, woman slow down the speed to draw sword." 

When he came to the room, he did not find her in the room and asked, "Miss Han, where are you?" 

Han Lingshi peeked at him from the walk-in closet and beckoned him to go over with an evident blush on his face. Hao Ren's heart skipped a beat when he saw her appearance. He walked over slowly, and saw her standing before the full body mirror. 

He asked, "Is there anything you need, Miss Han?" 

Han Lingshi gulped a mouthful and said, "Umm, you see, that, my- my zipper is- it is stuck." 

Hao Ren froze, the maximum he had been in contact with the opposite gender was either a refusal, or holding hands when Han Lingshi dragged him inside the marriage registration office. He gulped and asked, "What did you say?" 

Han Lingshi blushed even profusely and turned around glaring, "Do you want me to say it again?" 

The young man shook his head like a rattle and moved closer to her. He came to stand behind her with his gaze locked on Han Lingshi's fair back. Her skin was akin to porcelain, soft, fair, and delicate. He took a deep breath to calm his mind but the subtle fragrance emitting from Han Lingshi made the flames of desire burn even stronger. 

*Ding: Special quest triggered, Unzip the dress, and leave the room like a gentleman. The goal is to gain respect of your wife.*

Hao Ren forced himself to calmed down, however, his heart was still throbbing. Taking advantage of the clarity he held on to the zipper and tugged on it. However, it did not slide down smoothly. Men were simple creatures, once they focused on a problem, even if it was a woman of their dreams before them, they would not be distracted. 

(I know I am exaggerating.)

Hao Ren took a deep breath and said, "Miss Han, I might have to exert some strength in this. The zipper is stuck." 

Han Lingshi hummed in a restrained voice. She was no different than Hao Ren, her heart was sprinting as if a race car engine. Hao Ren held the hem of the gown with his left hand and the back of his fingers rubbed against the smooth jade like skin. 

The two people shivered but Hao Ren had a task at hand, he did not care about anything and tugged the zipper a bit harder. He did not estimate that it would go all the way down with just slight force. In his vision lay the back of a fairy. His breath caught fire as it blew on Han Lingshi's fair skin, setting her heart on fire in the process. 

The two people stood in their spots, dazed by the unexpected intimacy between them. Hao Ren raised his head and saw Han Lingshi's face in the mirror. Her head was bowed and her hands were clamped together. The flame in his heart was extinguished by the fear he saw on her face. 

He took a step back and said, "It's done. Good night." 

Then he did not wait for her to turn around and left. Han Lingshi was stunned, she raised her head and only saw Hao Ren's hand closing the door as he left. She held the front of her dress close to her and realized that her heart has suddenly calmed down a lot. 

Her thoughts were not as rampant as they were earlier. Suddenly, a tear formed in her eye and dripped down her cheek. She was shocked, and touched her cheek to check. She was neither upset, nor was she scared anymore. Those emotions that overwhelmed her for a moment were gone, and they were replaced by a subtle peace. 

She wiped her tear and changed her clothes, she wanted to chase after Hao Ren and say thank you, but she did not have the guts so she stood in front of the mirror even after changing the clothes. She did not realize when she began to admire the pajama set. Suddenly, her cellphone rang and bought her back to reality. 

Han Lingshi had a silly grin on her face as she went to attend the call. 

...

Meanwhile, Hao Ren came to his own bedroom, and entered the shower instantly. No longer was he in the mood to study anything, he needed to calm down first. A cold shower was the best way for this. 

*Ding: The system detected that the host have completed his task. Based on the evaluation, issuing rewards...*
