Offering hubby a system.

It wasn't just the question which surprised Caishen; it was also the way she asked. She was so calm and collected as if she was offering him ordinary candy on the corner of some street. He on the other hand was surprised, shaken to the core.

He moved his hand and touched the side of her neck, ensuring that she kept all of her focus on him.

"Alix." 

"Mmm."

"Did I mishear or did you just ask me if I wanted a system?"

As soon as he heard the question out loud, he started to wonder if he had jumped the gun in his thoughts. All she asked was if he wanted a system. It wasn't as if she had offered him one. This question was absolutely normal, just as asking one if they wanted ice cream or soda was normal.

She was nodding continually meanwhile, albeit slowly and almost playful like.
