They all want to control me!

Chapter 4 Kissing is prohibited during class

"Jiang Qiaoqiao bullied you like that. If I see her, I'll definitely beat her up!"

"Yeah, yeah, we need to beat them up..."

As Jiang Qiaoqiao spoke, she sensed something was amiss. She glanced at the fist mark on the table, wiped her sweat, and said sheepishly:

"Although Jiang Qiaoqiao is despicable for her viciousness, we should strive for harmony and avoid fighting."

"Okay, I'll listen to Lin Ran and not hit her anymore, but I'm still going to punch her to avenge you!"

Tao Zhiyao clenched her delicate little fist and swung it. Jiang Qiaoqiao felt a gust of wind from the punch, which made her cheeks sting. Her back was soaked with cold sweat.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Lin Ran was ecstatic. It was the first time she had ever witnessed someone shoot themselves in the foot in real life. It was hilarious.

No matter how Jiang Qiaoqiao tried to persuade her, Tao Zhiyao insisted that if she saw Jiang Qiaoqiao in person, she would definitely punch her, as if it were written into her very code.

The ten-minute break passed quickly, and class resumed.

Jiang Qiaoqiao was extremely worried and complained to Lin Ran:

"There's no way to make her stop punching me. I can't take it, I'll die."

"You, Jiang Qiaoqiao, are a remarkable woman who combines intelligence and beauty. How could you be so easily frightened by such a small setback? I believe in you," Lin Ran said, suppressing a laugh.

"..."

Jiang Qiaoqiao grinned, desperately wanting to drag Lin Ran out and have a good "reasoning" with him.

After the professor's warning in the first systemic anatomy class, the atmosphere in the entire lecture hall was noticeably different in the second class.

Those who can get into a 985 medical school are all good students; when they're serious, they're noticeably different from when they're relaxed.

Lin Ran said, "Now, in Tao Zhiyao's heart, I am a tragic man who has been trained by a venomous woman named Jiang Qiaoqiao—you did a great job, Jiang Qiaoqiao."

Jiang Qiaoqiao's tone immediately became weak: "Ahaha... well, I didn't expect things to develop like this, but... she pitied you and wanted to save you. The next step is just to find a way to increase her favorability. In a way, I did help you."

"Heh." Lin Ran chuckled coldly twice and continued, "I'll settle this score with you later. Let's check our information first. I'm always getting distracted by other things and almost forgot the most important thing."

"Okay, no problem."

Jiang Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief; this matter was finally over.

She actually felt bad for Lin Ran, because she had inexplicably made the girl Lin Ran liked mistakenly believe that Lin Ran liked her, causing a huge misunderstanding.

This was the first time in her life that Jiang Qiaoqiao had suffered such a huge loss in a relationship.

Lin Ran said, "You go first."

"On what grounds?"

"Since you won't talk about it, let's discuss the fact that Tao Zhiyao inexplicably thought I liked you."

"I'll talk, I'll talk..." Jiang Qiaoqiao said helplessly. She had no other choice. "I'm a year older than you. I'm a sophomore in the Finance Department at Jiangning University of Science and Technology. When I was ten, a landslide occurred, and my parents died. I was lucky to survive, but the price was that my legs were permanently disabled, and I became a wheelchair-bound beauty. You can also call me Little Cripple."

"Hello, little cripple, I'm very unhappy to meet you, little cripple." Lin Ran really enjoys fulfilling other people's wishes.

"Get lost! I was just saying, and you actually yelled!" Jiang Qiaoqiao was speechless. This guy was really annoying. "Alright, I'm done. It's your turn."

"My parents are alive and well, I can run incredibly fast, I'm a handsome guy, and I hate beautiful women in wheelchairs."

Lin Ran briefly shared his information, but the last sentence was tinged with personal emotion.

Jiang Qiaoqiao completely ignored Lin Ran's last sentence and asked:

Why can I control your body?

"I don't know." Lin Ran told a little lie. "When I woke up, I found that my body was walking and jumping on its own. Later, I heard your voice and saw the notification in the upper right corner. That's when I realized that you were controlling my body."

I definitely can't talk about things related to the system.

He hadn't forgotten that Jiang Qiaoqiao had mentioned that her family owned a company specializing in news, publishing, and media.

The gap in strength is too large; if I explain it too clearly, I'll easily be captured and dissected for research.

Moreover, Jiang Qiaoqiao also concealed her family background, deliberately omitting it.

Upon hearing Lin Ran's words, Jiang Qiaoqiao remained silent for a few seconds, seemingly considering the accuracy of the information.

"I'm similar to you. I was sunbathing and suddenly felt a little sleepy. In a daze, I heard a voice say, 'You have been qualified to experience life. Do you have any wishes you want to fulfill?' I said, 'I want to stand up.' When I opened my eyes again, I was already inside your body. Your name and the time you have been in control of your body were in the upper right corner."

System, did Jiang Qiaoqiao take things out of context or conceal anything in her words?

Answer: No

Lin Ran felt relieved.

Now, the lie he told Jiang Qiaoqiao when he first threatened her—"Letting you control my body will bring me real benefits"—must be covered up, combined with the system's ability to extract talents and skills...

[Teamwork Rating: 20]

Skills can be extracted 2 times.

Lin Ran pulled up Jiang Qiaoqiao's information and checked the "Extractable Talents and Skills" section.

For a moment, he was dazzled by the golden light.

Goodness, Jiang Qiaoqiao has so many golden legends?

In a sea of ​​golden light, I found a [talent] that was easy to explain.

He pondered for a moment and said:

"The process was similar, and a voice asked me about my wish. I said, 'I won't fail any courses at the end of the semester.'"

"Not failing any courses? You mean improving your learning ability?" Jiang Qiaoqiao said. "Come to think of it, I've always been good at memorizing things since I was little, could it be this?"

"Very likely."

[Talent - Photographic Memory (Gold)]

[Note: Talents and skills are divided into three levels: Gold, Purple, and White.]

I never imagined that there really are people in real life with photographic memories; it's truly enviable.

Following Lin Ran's train of thought, Jiang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation:

"Could my leg possibly recover...?"

"have no idea."

Lin Ran was telling the truth. Although he was the owner of the system, he didn't know how to cure Jiang Qiaoqiao's leg.

【Ding! 】

System boot has been enabled.

"?"

Following the prompts, Lin Ran clicked on Jiang Qiaoqiao's 3D human body image and discovered that many lines had appeared on it.

There were no abnormalities in other parts of the body, only the lines of the legs were a glaring red.

Leg HP: -80

[Tip: HP increases by 10 for every 10 points of increased affinity]

It turned out to be the case.

So, what's the principle behind this increase in tacit understanding?

The more two people trust each other, the higher their level of understanding and chemistry.

What would happen if the tacit understanding level increased to 100?

To the extent that they would entrust their lives to each other? I doubt even blood relatives could reach that level.

However, Jiang Qiaoqiao's wish is to stand up again, even if the tacit understanding value is not 100.

Lin Ran said, "Since such a supernatural phenomenon as controlling other people's bodies has happened, maybe your legs really have a chance to be healed."

Jiang Qiaoqiao gave a self-deprecating laugh: "Anyway, my legs are already useless, so how much worse can it get?"

Just then, the two of them heard a voice at the same time:

"Ahem, I'm tired of lecturing. I see everyone is listening very attentively, so I'll randomly select a student to answer a question... Student number 867, please stand up and answer the question about the composition of the skull."

Jiang Qiaoqiao exclaimed in surprise, "A university where professors ask questions? Is this a fake university?"

Lin Ran said, "I have an elder who is a university teacher. She said that you must ask questions once or twice in class. If you don't ask questions, the students won't look up. If the surveillance camera captures this, it will be considered a teaching accident."

"Would the old professor be subject to this?"

"He's not controlled, but this professor likes to torment his students."

"You guys are lucky," Jiang Qiaoqiao said gloatingly. "Who's student number 867? What an unlucky guy."

Lin Ran said quietly, "It's me, student number 867, the unlucky guy himself."

Jiang Qiaoqiao: "..."

The professor, holding a thermos, glanced around and repeated himself:

"Student ID 867, stand up and answer the question. If you don't answer, I'll deduct your participation points."

Jiang Qiaoqiao jumped up.

Swish swish!

In an instant, everyone in the entire lecture hall turned their gaze toward them.

The person who had been keeping their head down raised their head—being called on was unfortunate, but watching others answer questions was a different kind of fun.

"Tsk tsk, Lin Ran, the skull is divided into facial bones, cranium..."

"Hey, you sitting next to me, keep your voice down. I'm old enough to hear you even standing on the podium. You two were practically kissing last class, and I didn't stop you, which was already being very lenient."

The professor's joking remark immediately drew laughter from the classroom.

Tao Zhiyao's eyes welled up with tears, her chubby cheeks flushed red, and she lowered her head, wishing she could bury her head in the sand like an ostrich.

How embarrassing!

As Tao Zhiyao was thinking this, she suddenly felt a warmth on the top of her head and heard Lin Ran's voice in her ear:

"Professor, I'm not feeling well today. Last class, Tao Zhiyao put her forehead to mine to check my temperature. I appreciate her concern, but we're not a couple yet."

"Whoa—!!!" The atmosphere team in the classroom made an appropriate sound.

"Wow! This young man is quite responsible!" The professor put down his thermos, a smirk playing on his lips. He said in his characteristically frivolous manner, "I think you guys aren't now, but you'll be soon after this class. In your young people's terms, I'm called... what was it again... oh right, a wingman! I've become a wingman!"

The atmosphere group burst into laughter, never expecting that the seemingly serious professor could have such a trendy side.

The professor said, "Since you have such backbone, I'll also describe your lower limb bones. If you can describe them completely, I'll give you both 5 points; if you can't, I'll only deduct 1 point."

"Okay." Lin Ran smiled.

At the same time, he said to Jiang Qiaoqiao in his heart:

"Yes, yes, just keep this smile, with the corners of your lips raised at a 10° angle, making people feel comfortable and not arrogant. Hold your right hand with the four fingers together, palm slightly concave, and touch it for three seconds before taking it off Tao Zhiyao's head. I'm afraid she'll faint from embarrassment."

"I know your C+ size is quite large, but this is my body, so it's not that much of a burden. So straighten up, tuck your chin in slightly... to show off our handsomeness!"

"I was so busy chatting with you that I forgot to remember the skull and lower limb bones, so I'm leaving the answering to you. Don't lose points!"

"Go on, Jiang Qiaoqiao with a photographic memory! I believe in your brilliant mind!" Lin Ran's excited tone was like throwing away a Pokémon.

Jiang Qiaoqiao's smile faltered; her lips twitched a few times, and she cursed inwardly:

"You've had your fill of showing off, and now you're making me answer the rest of the questions? Lin Ran, you're such a jerk! But... I'm suddenly getting excited, I want to show off too!"
