Chapter 59 (First Release)

"Or, whatever you want to know... I can teach you anything."

When Mu Xijue made such an alluring gesture, Ning Wanwan shrank back in fear, but still insisted on standing in front of him.

"So, do you want to come in with me? I promise I won't treat you like I did last time." Mu Xijue blinked and continued to invite her.

Ning Wanwan: "..." Nobody would believe you!

Ning Wanwan pursed her lips, refusing to agree.

Mu Xijue looked somewhat regretful: "Well, it seems that Wanwan doesn't really want to go to the office with me."

He finished speaking seriously, then suddenly leaned down slightly, raised an eyebrow, lowered his voice, but raised it slightly at the end, and whispered in her ear—

"But, Wanwan, you're so scared, huh? You're in the same office as me."

"What should I do? Just thinking about it makes me excited."

Ning Wanwan: "..."

Ning Wanwan shuddered, a chill running down her spine. She finally managed to say with difficulty, "Teacher Mu, please stop joking..."

Mu Xijue: "I'm not joking."

Ning Wanwan was speechless again, and began to doubt whether she had made a mistake by choosing to block the road here.

Seeing the girl speechless, Mu Xijue laughed again. Ning Wanwan didn't know what was so funny.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. You can just ask what you want to say."

I'll consider giving you a direct answer.

Ning Wanwan was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at him, her beautiful eyes filled with doubt, as if asking him how he knew she had a question to ask.

"Your purpose is too obvious," Mu Xijue said lazily.

"Or rather, you deliberately stopped me here because you genuinely want me to correct your tendency to daydream, just like I did in class."

"Like this."

Mu Xijue snapped his fingers near her ear, his fingertips casually brushing against the edge of her mask.

The unfamiliar touch through the mask sent chills down Ning Wanwan's spine!

Startled, she took a few steps back, quickly covered her face with her mask, and glared at him warily.

They finally breathed a sigh of relief after realizing it was a false alarm and that their mask was still on properly.

Mu Xijue said thoughtfully, "Are you so afraid of having your mask taken off?"

"Ning Wanwan, what secret are you hiding? I'm really curious."

Mu Xijue's tone was relatively mild, and Ning Wanwan mustered her courage: "It's wrong to pry into other people's secrets... without permission."

"...Oh hahahahahaha."

Mu Xijue laughed again, this time even harder, almost unable to straighten up.

Ning Wanwan: "...Am I wrong?"

Mu Xijue laughed for a long time before finally straightening up and regaining her elegant demeanor: "Yes, yes."

Ning Wanwan sensed his perfunctory attitude.

"...You!" You really are a lawless madman!

You can laugh like this over something so normal!

"Ning Wanwan, you really are the first person, besides those in the lab, who can make me laugh several times a day," Mu Xijue said, seemingly very sincerely.

“Really, you’re very interesting, in a way that’s interesting except for your connection with Shenwu.”

Mu Xijue spoke very seriously, but Ning Wanwan only felt that she was being mocked. She secretly glared at him and turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

Mu Xijue: "...Hmm." He was telling the truth, there was no sarcasm in his words.

Mu Xijue didn't care. It was quite amusing how the girl was sneaking a glare at him while thinking she hadn't been caught.

When Ning Wanwan realized that the break time between classes was getting shorter and shorter, she finally couldn't help but speak up, trying to steer the conversation back on track.

"Teacher Mu, you said you could answer my question..."

Mu Xijue didn't correct herself, but only considered whether to answer, raising an eyebrow slightly: "Go ahead and ask."

Ning Wanwan took a deep breath and carefully considered her words regarding the important matter at hand.

"Exactly, you seem very knowledgeable...you must be very experienced..." In short, you are the most experienced person in terms of romantic relationships that she has ever met!

"So, could you tell me, if I want a boy to accept a love letter, what do I need to do?"

The girl's voice was soft and gentle; she seemed somewhat ashamed to ask him about such a thing, but she clearly genuinely believed that he would have an answer.

There's no way around it, after all, Mu Xijue just seems to be too good at it! Putting aside the sense of real danger that could threaten his life, he definitely looks like a scumbag!

The girl's unwavering belief that he must be very experienced in this area made Mu Xijue raise his eyebrows high.

However, he did not intend to refute it, but instead noticed something else.

"Wanwan, do you want to send a love letter to someone other than Chenwu?" he asked, seemingly quite interested.

But the question shocked Ning Wanwan, who couldn't help but stammer, "Wh-what do you mean, 'for people outside of Shenwu'!"

That's a really strange question!

Although she was only trying to set up Jiang Chengran and Lin Ruowei, even if she were to deliver the love letter herself, it would have nothing to do with Shen Wu!

"Oh?" Seeing the girl's startled expression, Mu Xijue was even more surprised. "You don't have any feelings for Shen Wu at all?"

Shen Wu has managed to hold back until now without making a move.

What are you considering?

So careful.

Ning Wanwan, unaware of Mu Xijue's thoughts, blushed slightly: "Chen Wu is a girl... what could she possibly feel?"

"Girls..." Mu Xijue drawled meaningfully, and seeing that the girl was getting anxious, he considerately stopped talking about the topic.

"Wanwan, what have you done this time?"

“…What?” Ning Wanwan was taken aback.

Mu Xijue patiently asked again, seemingly very interested in the whole process: "Didn't you say you wanted to win over a guy? Then you must have done something that failed, right?"

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to ask me."

Ning Wanwan: "...Yes, I...I brought him breakfast, and then I heard he didn't accept it..."

"Was this the only time you sent it?"

"Yes……"

After thinking for a while, Mu Xijue seriously gave her advice: "I don't think there's anything wrong with bringing breakfast."

"So, you can try sending it for a few more days. If he still refuses to accept it every time, you can come and ask me again."

"I will help you create a personalized strategy plan."

Listen to that, what thoughtful words.

Ning Wanwan always felt that this person had ill intentions.

He seems like a good teacher who's determined to help... wait, a good teacher would never teach someone this kind of thing!

"Why...why did you help me?" Ning Wanwan couldn't help but ask.

This sounds like a joke, doesn't it?

If it weren't for wanting to get the plot back on track, Ning Wanwan probably wouldn't have done it.

Mu Xijue: "Well, just consider it me doing a good deed for the day."

"Besides, I'm also very curious—"

Mu Xijue winked her peach blossom eyes at her, her smile full of mischief and a hint of wanting to stir up trouble.

"What would it be like if someone found out after you successfully delivered a love letter to someone?"

...

Ning Wanwan felt that Mu Xijue was exaggerating.

Anyway, it's not like I'm actually going to deliver the love letter; I'm just a middleman passing it on.

Besides, even if I, a mere cannon fodder, were to deliver a love letter, what serious consequences could there be?

Although Ning Wanwan is now on guard because of the "love at first sight" halo, there have been no surprises for quite some time.

Ning Wanwan felt that those who might have been influenced by the "love at first sight" halo were all fine, remaining rational and not causing too much trouble in her life.

So, just as the system said, the "love at first sight" halo isn't actually that effective.

However, Ning Wanwan still intends to wear the mask like this for now.

Being able to hide most of her facial expressions under a mask is something that makes her feel safe.

Back in the classroom, Ning Wanwan turned on her phone and discovered that Lin Ruowei had sent her a barrage of messages.

Where are you? Why aren't you saying anything?

[You still have time to daydream at a time like this!]

[What happened? I told you to think of another way and you ran away.]

Ning Wanwan sighed, realizing that Lin Ruowei seemed genuinely anxious after failing to deliver breakfast this time.

Lin Ruowei's message appeared forceful and compelling, but anyone could see that she was the one who was most anxious.

"Ning Wanwan, you finally decided to come back." Lin Ruowei stood next to her with her arms crossed, looking rather unfriendly.

Ning Wanwan: "I'm doing something important."

"What important matter?" Lin Ruowei frowned. "Regarding that area, do you have any other solutions?"

Because there were many people in the classroom, Lin Ruowei, wanting to save face, didn't directly say what "over there" was about.

Ning Wanwan: "I plan to try delivering breakfast again next."

Although Mu Xijue is an unpredictable person, her suggestions are still very valuable.

Lin Ruowei raised her voice: "Your lousy method is completely useless! You actually..."

Ning Wanwan: "Uh... if you have a way, then you go."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruowei was immediately speechless, her face pale and unable to utter a word for a long time.

If she had a solution, would she need to spend money to hire other people?

Ning Wanwan: "If you don't have any other options, then stop getting involved in these matters, or you could hire someone else."

The girl's voice was as soft and delicate as ever, yet it inexplicably carried an air of unquestionable authority.

Lin Ruowei was so speechless for a moment that she couldn't say anything else.

If she could hire anyone else, she wouldn't have bothered with Ning Wanwan in the first place!

Furthermore, there was something else that Lin Ruowei didn't mention in the morning: Jiang Chengran wanted to throw away his breakfast, but he didn't actually do so. Zhou Yanyao took it and ate it on the spot in the classroom.

Lin Ruowei didn't want to say it, lest Ning Wanwan become even more smug.

Finally, Lin Ruowei squeezed out, "Hmph, I'll wait and see how it goes. If it doesn't work out, I won't give you a single penny of that money!"

Lin Ruowei left, and Ning Wanwan quietly patted her chest.

"Phew, thankfully she didn't actually agree to go find someone else."

Even if Lin Ruowei takes back the deal with her, Ning Wanwan still has to help her connect with Jiang Chengran in order to maintain the plot and fix the bugs.

However, at that time, even if you work, you won't get paid.

Ning Wanwan, the poor girl, still hoped to receive actual compensation.

Fortunately, Lin Ruowei had an information gap with her and thought she was the one who was most anxious.

[Host, what are your plans next? Are you really going to continue sending breakfast to Jiang Chengran?]

"Okay, let's send it for a few days first and see if it has any effect..."

Reminded by Mu Xijue, Ning Wanwan realized that she might have been too hasty, influenced by Lin Ruowei and the need to maintain the plot.

Thinking about all the love letters and gifts that Jiang Chengran had thrown away before, this was only the first time she had given one, so it was perfectly normal for them to be thrown away.

Let's try to keep going.

...

Jiang Chengran discovered that there was another breakfast on her table.

There was still a familiar sticky note with a small smiley face on it.

"You're really persistent." Jiang Chengran sneered. Unfortunately, persistence was useless to him and wouldn't sway him in the slightest.

That will only make him more impatient.

Jiang Chengran wouldn't even glance at breakfasts that weren't delivered by someone he wanted.

"It seems that some people in the school still haven't heeded the warnings I gave before."

The red-haired boy clenched his fist and gave a fierce laugh.

He's going to find that person and teach him a lesson!
