Chapter 8
On the bed, Qin Luo’s body was slightly trembling. He had held back for a long time, finally managing not to laugh out loud. He had professional training and usually wouldn’t laugh easily. But he couldn’t help it—the system had given him so much.
Especially when he saw the system notification indicating an extra 100,000 yuan in his bank account, he had to take several deep breaths to calm down. Even so, he couldn’t stop the corners of his mouth from curving upward uncontrollably.
“This was totally worth it...” he murmured to the wall.
Three months of effort had finally paid off, making him feel like a veil had been lifted from his eyes. However, after the joy subsided, a wave of sadness washed over him.
Yes, he was happy now. There was the joy of receiving the system’s reward and the strange satisfaction of Ji Yan actively seeking him out. But he had to admit that, despite his well-spoken words, there was still a sense of regret in his heart.
Three months ago, he had just acquired the system and was exploring its functions when he suddenly encountered Ji Yan at school. Qin Luo would always remember her from that day. On the sunlit campus pathway, she wore a white T-shirt and a beige pleated skirt, with a pair of pristine sneakers. Her legs were slender and fair, and she looked stunning.
Like many male classmates around him, Qin Luo was drawn to Ji Yan, both by her charm and the system’s prompt. The system’s function was to select a target with a distinct persona and then find ways to make that person act against their persona, thus earning Qin Luo rewards. The basic condition for selecting a target was that the person had to have a distinct persona.
Not everyone had a distinct persona. While people were different, most tended toward being ordinary. Only a girl like Ji Yan stood out in a crowd, like a fairy radiating natural light, catching the system’s attention immediately.
Thus, Qin Luo had a reason to approach Ji Yan. The system had chosen her as the target, but that was just a reason Qin Luo gave himself to get close to her. The truth was, Qin Luo really liked her; it wouldn’t be wrong to call it love at first sight. But he was very self-aware and began confessing without any real hope of success. He didn’t expect Ji Yan to really be with him, but through the multiple confessions, his feelings for her inevitably grew.
The moment Ji Yan returned, she threw herself onto her bed, lying there motionless and silent. Her lifeless demeanor worried her three roommates, but they didn’t know how to comfort her, so they quietly stayed with her in the dormitory.
Hao Meng took out her phone and sent a flurry of messages to Wang Chen.
Hao Meng: What’s Qin Luo thinking?
Hao Meng: Does he really not like Ji Yan anymore?
Hao Meng: Ji Yan was actually ready to accept his confession, really!
No matter what she sent, there was no reply. Just as Hao Meng was getting anxious, Wang Chen finally responded.
Chen: It’s Ji Yan who hurt Brother Luo, not the other way around.
Hao Meng pursed her lips, not agreeing or trying to explain. She just wanted Qin Luo to sit down with Ji Yan and talk things out, at least not end such a sincere relationship so abruptly. But when she sent another message, it was met with a big red exclamation mark.
Hao Meng froze, and Shi Yulu and Jia Ting sighed beside her. The dormitory’s atmosphere grew even more oppressive.@@@@
