"Song still hasn't given the clothes to you?"

Feng Tong, who had just so happened to overhear what Xiao Yuanmu had said, walked over with a smile on his face. He sounded a bit surprised. "The first versions of his clothing.... Or rather, all of the clothes on the stage today were not the first editions he had made. Every single piece he made had been in accordance to your measurements. They've been ready for a long time now. I thought he had already given them to you."

The moment Feng Tong had opened his mouth, Song Xuanhe had wanted to stop him. But he thought that he would seem even more suspicious if he were to do that. Therefore, he remained silent. After Feng Tong finished speaking, he saw Xiao Yuanmu's eyes light up. Song Xuanhe replied in a mild tone: "I made them in your size only because it was convenient. I didn't alter any of them afterwards. They probably don't look as good as the ones on the stage. If you don't like them...."

"I'll like them."

There was a shallow curve to Xiao Yuanmu's lips. When he saw Song Xuanhe's gaze on him, the corner of his eyes also raised slightly. His long, straight eyelashes didn't seem as sharp as they usually did. It was difficult for him to hide his joy.

It was the first time Louis had seen Xiao Yuanmu show such a childish expression, like he was really happy but didn't want anyone to see it. His eyes widened in shock and he turned to look at Yang Jie, mouthing, "This isn't the Xiao I know!"

It was also rare for Yang Jie to see Xiao Yuanmu like this. But he wasn't so shocked he thought it was a miracle, like Louis. He remained very calm, almost Buddha-like.... As long as Xiao ge was with Song Xuanhe, anything could happen.

Feng Tong realized that he had misspoken when he heard Song Xuanhe's reply. He gave Song Xuanhe an apologetic look and then changed the topic. "Gentleman, the banquet is about to start. Would you all be heading over with us?"

Xiao Yuanmu nodded slightly as he grabbed Song Xuanhe's hand.

Song Xuanhe looked up at Song Xuanhe, taken back. He couldn't read any emotions in the other's eyes, as if the other thought that this was normal between them.

【I don't have any information on Xiao Yuanmu anymore. I've lost a lot of his data. But even without the data, I feel like he's different from how he had been in the past.】

Before the System had spoken up, Song Xuanhe had also thought the same thing.

Ten months ago, even when Xiao Yuanmu had wanted to hold his hand, the aura he gave off seemed to say 'I want to hold your hand, please don't refuse. Even if you do, I'm still going to hold your hand.' But now, when Xiao Yuanmu held his hand, he acted like nothing had happened. If it wasn't because Song Xuanhe could feel how tightly the other's grip was, he would have thought that the other had accidentally grabbed hold of his hand while shaking out his own.

【You're not imagining things.】Song Xuanhe's eyes narrowed. He was forced to follow after Feng Tong with his hand in Xiao Yuanmu's. With no expression on your face, he said:【He's definitely different.】

【Humans are such strange creatures.】The System lamented:【But time is even more strange. Time doesn't exist for us systems. But you humans have managed to put a unit of measurement on time. And because of that, you humans change unpredictably as time passes. We systems never experience unpredictable occurrences. 】

【Does that include your predictions of human decisions?】Song Xuanhe asked.

【Of course.】The System said:【We analyze the data to come up with every possible choice a human may make. We then calculate the probability of each decision. Everything is predictable.】
