Chen Cheng curled the corners of his mouth and looked at Guan Juer. "Guan Guan, are you taking notes?"

Guan Juer looked at Chen Cheng and nodded adorably. "Mm-hmm, I like to write down things I don't know."

"Oh, that's a good habit."

"Actually, 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' is a type of cognitive bias."

"In psychology, it's called the halo effect. When a person develops feelings of admiration for another, they amplify the other person's strengths and project those strengths onto other aspects of them, feeling that everything about the other person is good. Even if the other person might have some flaws, they will be overlooked or idealized."

"Just like the halo around the moon, it makes the moon look more beautiful. So, in the eyes of a lover, the other person seems as perfect as Xi Shi."

Guan Juer typed the words 'halo effect' into her phone's notepad.

Chen Cheng curled his lips, quite satisfied with Guan Juer's performance, and continued, "Biologically speaking, when a person is in a state of love, the body secretes various hormones, such as dopamine and adrenaline."

"Dopamine can create feelings of pleasure and excitement, while also affecting one's cognition and judgment."

"Adrenaline causes the heart rate to accelerate and blood pressure to rise. These physiological reactions make a person have a more intense emotional experience towards their romantic partner. In this state, one feels the other person is more attractive, which is the so-called 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'."

...

"Mr. Chen, you usually read a lot of books, right?" Guan Juer looked at Chen Cheng with some admiration.

"Call me Chen Cheng. 'Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen,' it sounds weird."

"He has a nickname, 'The Walking Library,'" Andy said with a smile as she brought two glasses of water for the two of them.

"Huh?" Guan Juer was a bit confused. "Why?"

Andy looked at Chen Cheng with a smile, then turned to Guan Juer. "When we used to work together, if we couldn't find any data or information, we would always look for him."

"Before every project, he would go to the archives and read through projects of the same type."

"He has a photographic memory and can memorize all the data."

Chen Cheng's mouth was almost stretched to his ears; in his heart, he gave her a huge thumbs up.

If this isn't a perfect assist, what is?

"Memorize all of it?" Guan Juer widened her eyes, looking at Andy, who was standing next to Chen Cheng, in disbelief.

"Yes," Andy nodded and pulled up a chair to sit beside Chen Cheng. "He has a completely photographic memory and can remember everything at a glance."

*Gulp*

Remember everything at a glance... If only I could remember everything at a glance...

The look in Guan Juer's eyes when she looked at Chen Cheng became a bit brighter.

[Guan Juer's favorability +3]

Seeing the system prompt, Chen Cheng's mouth was about to stretch to his ears.

"Chen..." Guan Juer was originally going to call Chen Cheng by his name, but felt it wasn't appropriate to call him by his first name directly, so she just stood there awkwardly.

"Hey, silly girl, Handsome Chen is probably a few years older than you. If you can't bring yourself to say his name, just call him Brother Cheng." Fan Shengmei had been listening to them talk and shouted at Guan Juer, sounding annoyed.

Chen Cheng looked at Fan Shengmei in surprise, and to his knowledge, this woman winked at him.

Hmm? Did this woman figure something out? Is she helping him?

Scum took a look at Fan Shengmei's favorability in passing. [Fan Shengmei's favorability: 72]

( ⊙ o ⊙ ) ...

Well, even after all that, it's still not as high as Guan Juer's.

However, thinking about it, it makes sense. The two of them at most had a friendly exchange; there was no emotional foundation.

Guan Juer immediately felt that what her Sister Fan said made sense. She looked at Chen Cheng and said, "Brother Cheng, what kind of books do you usually read? Can you recommend some to me?"

"I rarely read books now. For the moment, I really don't know what books would suit you. How about this: whenever you want to buy books, ask me to go with you."

Guan Juer nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. "Mm-hmm! Then next time I go to the bookstore, I'll call Brother Cheng."

Chen Cheng smiled. "When a beauty invites me, I dare not refuse."

Guan Juer's face immediately turned bright red, and she felt a bit embarrassed.

"Ding-dong~"

Just then, the notification sound on Andy's computer rang.

Andy went over to take a look and replied to the message.

When she came back, she brought a piece of paper and a pen and handed them to Chen Cheng.

"Chen Cheng, help me fill out this crossword puzzle. I've been too busy lately and really don't have the time. Since you should be good at this, it's perfect."

Chen Cheng took the paper, his expression a bit strange. Only that freak Singularity would play this boring game.

However, he glanced at Guan Juer's expectant eyes.

Chen Cheng still spread the paper on the dining table and took the pen.

This kind of game always has a few hints. Starting with the hints, and since Chen Cheng also knew what Singularity wanted to express, filling it out was quite easy.

In less than five minutes, Chen Cheng handed the paper to Andy.

"You really are fast!"

Andy took the paper, still very surprised by Chen Cheng's speed.

She had estimated that it would take her about half an hour to an hour to fill it out.

This person really is a robot; he finished an hour's worth of work for her in five minutes.

Guan Juer was completely stunned. She could play with one crossword puzzle for a whole day and still might not be able to finish it.

Only Fan Shengmei was confused, wondering what was going on.

Chen Cheng, however, looked at Andy indignantly. You can say anything, but you can't say I'm fast. If you don't believe me, just try it.

If it weren't for Guan Juer being there, he would have said it right out loud. Unfortunately, there are no "ifs."

Thinking of Singularity, Chen Cheng couldn't help but dig a pit for him.

"Andy, who sent you this crossword puzzle?"

"A netizen I met on a forum," Andy didn't hide it.

Chen Cheng said straightforwardly, "I don't really like this person. He is testing you."

"Huh?" Andy was stunned. How could a crossword puzzle be a test?

"He is testing your intelligence, way of thinking, and personality traits through your reaction to this crossword, your solving speed, and your way of thinking."

Andy frowned, frantically recalling her chat history with Singularity in her mind.

"Take a closer look."

Chen Cheng curled his lips. Doing bad things, especially destroying the relationship between her and Singularity, only requires a light sentence.

This sentence might become a new seed in their relationship, slowly sprouting and growing until one day it bursts through the sky built by their relationship.

The words filled in are a formal invitation from Singularity to Andy.

The feeling of seeing this invitation when Andy fills it out herself versus someone else filling it out for her is completely different.

Chen Cheng even explicitly pointed out that this is a test.

Being tested by someone is always uncomfortable.

Andy held her breath and looked at it carefully again. After understanding it, she let out a long sigh, "Ha~"

"You guys chat, I'm going to reply to a message," Andy said with a smile to the three of them.

Chen Cheng smiled and turned to Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer. "Big Beauty Fan, Guan Guan, have you ever played crossword puzzles?"

...

Andy was in the bedroom replying to the message, while Scum was laughing and joking with the two beauties in the dining room.
