This intangible energy called aura that surrounds individuals can be felt by many in this world, yet it remains elusive to the eyes. However, one should exercise caution when relying solely on the sensing of an aura as it may not always accurately reflect the nature of an individual. It is entirely possible for one to misinterpret the signals or for the person emitting the aura to possess qualities that oppose the impressions perceived by others.
Therefore, One should approach such matters with a discerning mind, lest one fall prey to the illusions that can stem from the complexity of human nature.
As he strode forth, the enigmatic aura that had piqued his interest continued to occupy his thoughts. As Xu Ming entered the department of customer care service, he couldn't shake off the feeling that clung to him since meeting with that person. Suddenly Xu Ming realized that the aura around that individual was similar to Xu Ming's own, an aura of malevolence.
He was convinced that the person he encountered had either committed some heinous act or had a heart shrouded in darkness. Or maybe Xu Ming's perception was flawed.
Regardless, Xu Ming knew that he had to confirm his suspicions. He had been looking for someone who could carry out evil activities, and if his suspicions were true, then this person could be the ideal choice.
The reason behind his decision to recruit an underling was not merely for the purpose of delegating menial tasks such as information gathering. No, that was merely a pretext. Rather, his true intention was far more sinister; he intended to have this subordinate serve as a convenient scapegoat in the event of any unforeseen emergency, a pawn to be sacrificed for his own gain.
The thought of having a scapegoat thrilled Xu Ming. What if, one day, his secret base where he dismantled humans was exposed? He could easily use this person to deflect the blame. After all, Xu Ming knew how to manipulate people's emotions and even…. threaten them if necessary.
Xu Ming started doing his work. After an hour of reading and answering the emails, his attention was quickly diverted by a flood of incoming calls. His lunch break arrived four hours later, causing him to leave the department and go to the company cafeteria on the third floor.
The moment Xu ming stepped inside, he was attacked by a clamor of sound, as the spacious cafeteria buzzed with activity. The room was as large as five king-sized rooms, painted in a pristine white color, with a massive 100-inch TV displaying a drama, chairs scattered about, and both fans and air conditioning keeping the atmosphere comfortable. Positioned opposite the entrance was the ordering counter, adorned with decorative pieces and a coffee shop.

Xu Ming approached the counter to place his order when suddenly, he heard someone calling out to him.
With his body transformed, finding the source of the voice amidst the noise was no challenge for Xu Ming. He immediately recognized the voice to be that of Liu Xinmei, who was seated four tables away from the counter. Liu Xinmei looked as stunning as ever, with her hair tied in a ponytail and dressed in a black pant suit a professional attire, which failed to showcase her figure.
Xu Ming approached Liu Xinmei's table with a polite greeting, "Good afternoon, Miss Liu."
She returned the greeting with a friendly smile, "Good afternoon to you too, Sir Xu. I made some extra Chicken Korma, would you like to share it with me?"
Though her offer was without shyness, Xu Ming couldn't help but notice a hint of nervousness in her eyes as he gazed directly into them.
Xu Ming smiled at Liu's offer and responded, "If Miss Liu doesn't mind, I would be happy to share your lunch."
As he sat down in front of her, Liu couldn't help but feel surprised - usually, Xu Ming would hesitate before accepting her invitation, but today he seemed more than willing. As she eagerly opened her lunch box, Xu Ming watched her with a small smile, enjoying her excitement.
After finishing their meal, Xu Ming praised Liu for her excellent cooking skills, but he kept his words brief to maintain his introverted persona. As Liu began to pack up her things to return to work, Xu Ming suddenly spoke up, "Miss Liu, if you don't mind me asking, are you free this Saturday night?"
Xu Ming's invitation caught Liu Xinmei off-guard and she looked at him with a questioning expression. "Yes, but why do you ask Sir Xu?" she asked. Xu Ming replied, "I have an extra ticket to a movie and since I don't have any friends, I thought of asking you if you would like to come with me."
Liu Xinmei was surprised by Xu Ming's invitation. She hadn't expected him to ask her out, considering their underdeveloped relationship. Her cheeks flushed with color as she stammered, "I-if you don't mind going with me." Xu Ming smiled slightly and said, "I'll text you the time and place tonight."
Realizing that lunchtime was almost over, Liu Xinmei hurriedly packed her lunch box and said, "It's almost time for me to get back to work." She left the cafeteria, walking briskly as if she was trying to run from someone. Seeing this Xu ming smiled because he knew that liu xinmei was almost in his palm.
Just as xu ming was about to leave he was startled by a sudden notification that echoed in his mind, informing him that he had unlocked a relationship option.
[Ding! Congratulation Host, you have unlocked relationship option.]
Excited, he tried to ask the system some questions, but to his disappointment, he received no response. The system only told that it was in protection mode and could only spare energy for essential functions such as letting him access his stats and unlocking the relationship option.
The notification from the system made it clear that it was currently of no use to Xu Ming, but he had never wanted to rely on it in the first place. Curiosity got the best of him, and he decided to explore the relationship option. As he opened it, an eerie interface appeared on the screen before him displaying liu xinmei profile in blood red.
[Name: Liu Xinmei]
