Also known as: After Breaking Up, My Rival is Bound to the Virtuous Husband System.
As a game engineer, the female lead, Pei Wu, was questioned by players for never having been in love. So, s...
“But Jin Wei is indeed… unfathomable.” Wei Guangmo looked up at Pei Wu.
“…” Pei Wu remained silent, but her eyelashes fluttered.
It's indeed difficult for her to evaluate Jin Wei.
Thinking back to the first time I met Jin Wei, it was at an English debate competition in high school. Jin Wei was wearing a well-made uniform from a prestigious private school: a gray suit jacket over a green-gray suit jacket, paired with a blue and white checkered tie. The girls wore pleated skirts in the same gray tone, while the boys wore gray suit trousers.
The large school badge on the chest signifies the school's glory.
'Bayi' can be considered a top-tier aristocratic school, gathering the sons and daughters of social elites, and Jin Wei is a key member among these debaters. He is not only fluent in spoken English, but also has meticulous thinking and extremely strong logic.
Even if he did nothing, just standing there would be incredibly eye-catching. His appearance is outstanding in a crowd, as if he were a completely different style from the people standing around him.
His face had a high fold, deep-set eyes, and a high, delicate nose. He was looking at the documents in his hands with his eyes slightly closed, but when the referee called out the name "Pei Wu," he lazily raised his eyes and looked in Pei Wu's direction. His eyes were deep, and the light from above shone on his face, casting a faint shadow under his eyelashes.
The two stared at each other, his chin slightly raised, exuding an air of arrogance even when he wasn't speaking.
His opponent was the public school represented by Pei Wu. Although they were wearing only the most ordinary blue and white school uniforms, it was one of the most famous high schools.
In fact, Pei Wu only attended high school for one year, but she represented the school in many competitions, big and small. The match she played against Jin Wei was the final one.
Even after many years, Pei Wu still vividly remembered her first impression of Jin Wei. She always remembered his youthful arrogance and the way his eyes seemed to be filled with daggers when he looked at her after losing the game. Jin Wei's cheeks were flushed red after losing the game, as if he had been greatly insulted.
She and Jin Wei were destined to meet again; after the competition, Pei Wu unexpectedly bumped into an even more disheveled Jin Wei in the stairwell at the corner of the lounge.
In the real world, just like in this game, boys need to take oral medication every month to suppress hormones after puberty in order to maintain a normal life. These oral medications are also common products sold on store shelves.
If you don't take your medicine on time, you'll end up like Jin Wei right now, huddled in the corner of the stairwell, your whole body sore and weak that you can't move. Jin Wei wasn't wearing a gray suit jacket, but just a green-gray shirt. Pei Wu could clearly see the soaked shirt through Jin Wei's back as he was facing away from her.
Pei Wu had no idea why Jin Wei was there.
However, a faint fragrance wafting through the air made Pei Wu take two steps back in alarm. Even though this was the first time she had encountered such a scene, she had already memorized the knowledge from her biology textbook after just one glance.
Hearing the sound, Jin Wei turned his head slightly.
Fine beads of sweat had soaked his bangs, his face was pale, and the eyes that had been fiercely glaring at Pei Wu in the competition were now struggling to even lift his eyelids. A few suspicious beads of moisture clung to his elegant eyelashes, and his cheeks were flushed.
Because of the principle of attraction between opposite sexes, Pei Wu's heart was racing simply because of the faint traces of restless hormones floating in the air.
The next second, a commotion broke out outside the stairwell.
"Would the elevator at a prestigious school like Bayi break down?"
"It's strange that the door to the fire escape can't be opened."
Almost the instant she heard the noise outside, Pei Wu instinctively braced herself against the stairwell door.
"There's another fire escape over there!"
"good!"
Pei Wu's heart was pounding on the other side of the door. Only when it was quiet again outside did she subconsciously let out a long sigh of relief. She took off her school uniform jacket and casually draped it over Jin Wei's shoulders before turning and leaving the stairwell.
Pei Wu didn't leave. She just stood at the entrance to the fire escape, separated from the other person by a door, and made a phone call to her friend.
"Do me a favor, and hurry..."
Pei Wu's voice came faintly from the other side of the door. Jin Wei's legs were already numb. He struggled to maintain his last bit of consciousness. Pei Wu's school uniform fell down and covered his head.
The school uniform even still carried Pei Wu's fragrance...

"In short, let's leave it at that for now. If anyone tampers with our data, we'll definitely be able to catch them. Then we can trace it by IP address, and finding out who it is won't be difficult."
After a long silence, Pei Wu finally spoke again.
"Okay. I won't take up any more of your and your new husband's time. I'll contact you if anything comes up. I'm quite tired after talking for a while. Yan Chang's body is really too weak."
"I've prepared a cell phone for you. Contact me when you have time."
After placing the phone she had prepared on the bedside table, Pei Wu continued, "You should take good care of yourself here first."
"Um."
Shen Yu'nan was waiting in the corridor outside the ward. When Pei Wu came out of the ward, she saw him sitting in a chair with his head down, seemingly lost in thought. He only looked up blankly when Pei Wu walked up to him.
Pei Wu noticed the other person's slightly reddened eyes and tightly clenched hands.
"Are you alright? Is something bothering you?"
Pei Wu reached out and touched Shao Sang's cheek and forehead, and Shao Sang looked up at Pei Wu as she did so.
His eyes gleamed.
Because of Shao Sang's physical structure, his hearing is extremely sensitive. Even through just a wall, he can clearly hear Pei Wu and Yan Chang's conversation.
"I'm fine, I was just spacing out."
Shen Yu Nan had excellent emotional control, and he quickly returned to normal. He touched Pei Wu's hand that was touching his cheek, but his fingertips were slightly cool.
From the conversation between Pei Wu and Yan Chang, Shen Yu Nan could easily tell that they were indeed from another world, and like himself trapped in Shao Sang's body, they also had something called a 'system'.
It's not hard to guess that the faces Pei Wu mentioned, which are Meng Qin Su and the other two, are herself, Shao Sang, and Gu Yan Yu, and one of them is her target.
It's like being bound to a system.
She is the object of his affections.
But who is her target? Is it herself as Shen Yu Nan, or Shao Sang? Or Gu Yan Yu?
Thinking back on everything she had discovered, and recalling what the other party had said to her as Shen Yu Nan, or how she had suddenly changed her target and become so close to her as Shao Sang.
Shen Yu Nan's heart sank.
Then who is this 'Meng Qinsu' she mentioned?
