Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Why would you fall for such trash? ...
"sorry......"
When Xu Jun saw the boy take out the garbage and apologize softly, he knew at a glance that he was habitually shrinking. He didn't like such weaklings, but it was a pity that this transfer student had such a good smell.
He turned and went back to the kitchen, ignoring the boy.
[System, are there any tips for conquering Xu Jun?]
Tao Ning sat on the stool, looking worriedly at the tightly wrapped garbage on the ground. He didn't smell any bad smell, but the smell of egg noodles wafted from the kitchen. He couldn't help but sniff, feeling a little hungry.
I don't want any strategies, I just want to have a healthy body immediately, without taking medicine, and do math problems and eat delicious noodles in peace.
But before the system could speak, the familiar mechanical voice rang out again: [Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for triggering the first solo mission in the Xu Jun strategy! Naive feelings begin between the moment you raise your eyes and the moment you lower your head, so please keep a secret crush on him for a month!]
The system then spoke: [Hey, idiot, no need to look for cheats, you can try this method.]
【But I have never had a secret crush on anyone. 】
"Then I'll find you a cheat." The clattering sound of flipping pages echoed in my mind. After a moment, the system said solemnly, "I found it. This book, 'Surprise! Black Moonlight Actually Likes Him: The Legend of Secret Love,' says that to secretly love someone, you have to forcefully intrude into their life. Therefore, you must constantly attract their attention. If they have mysophobia, leave your clothes on their bed. If they have stomach problems, order spicy hot pot. If they hate rain or snow, ask them out on rainy or snowy days..."
Tao Ning, the little country bumpkin, opened his mouth slightly when he heard this. "Is this okay?"
The system patted its chest and said, "I'm an artificial intelligence developed by an advanced extraterrestrial civilization. Trust me, you're not wrong! And this book is known as the Legend of Secret Love, so don't disbelieve me, idiot."
"Okay... okay..."
So a human with little experience in love and an AI that lost in a melon seed cracking competition, one dared to speak and the other dared to believe, hit it off immediately and planned to start implementing their "secret love" plan tonight.
The first step, of course, is to attract his attention.
[Silly, he's cooking in the kitchen right now. This is a good opportunity. You can secretly slip your little clothes under his pillow!]
At first, Tao Ning didn't know what "little clothes" were. The system explained that they were his Ultraman underwear, but because the artificial intelligence there has strict speech censorship and will be blocked, the term was changed to "little clothes".
"How can this be possible..." Tao Ning, who had lived in a small mountain village for 18 years, could not do such a thing. Her cheeks flushed as she said, "I'll touch him on the bed with my hands for a while."
But just as Tao Ning reached the edge of the blue bed sheet, a cold voice came from behind her: "What are you doing?"
The sudden voice startled Tao Ning. When he came to his senses, his snow-white face was filled with guilt. "I... I..." He rarely lied, but to complete the mission, his thick eyelashes kept blinking, and his voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible: "There's a mosquito... on your bed."
The system laughed mechanically at this corny excuse. The boy was filled with shame and indignation, his jade-like cheeks flushed red, and he muttered in his heart why he was always assigned such strange tasks.
Xu Jun: “…”
Did he think there was something wrong with his eyes? But he didn't say anything and said coldly, "Don't come near my bed in the future."
"sorry."
"I don't need your apology either."
Tao Ning walked past him with her head down, like a child who had made a mistake. The sweet scent of lemon filled the air around her. Xu Jun was dazed for a moment, his eyes fixed on the boy's exposed neck. It was very thin and skinny, just like the transfer student, weak and not suitable for studying in a hierarchical school like Oxent.
Xu Jun originally wanted to use the cleaning spray to disinfect the entire bed, but he hesitated because he had to admit that he liked the smell of the transfer student. However, he only hesitated for a moment and picked up the cleaning spray again to disinfect the bed from top to bottom, as if he was very disgusted that the boy had stayed here.
Tao Ning had of course seen his actions, and was therefore even more frustrated. [System, I don't think that secret crush method will work.]
The system was also a little hesitant: [We must have not practiced enough, otherwise, let's try a few more and see...]
【Um. 】
Tao Ning, always a well-behaved and obedient person, took the garbage bag containing the vegetable porridge and went out to take out the trash. But what the boy didn't know was that as soon as he left, the telephone in the dormitory began to ring like crazy. Xu Jun sat at his desk, unmoved, until the ringing interrupted his problem-solving. Then he frowned and answered the phone.
As soon as the call was connected, a magnetic yet irritable voice rang out from the other end of the line——
"Twenty calls in total, country bumpkin, how dare you take so long to answer me?"
Xu Jun thought the voice sounded familiar, but he didn't want to ask any more questions. He frowned and said, "Looking for Tao Ning? He's out."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and even the surrounding air was burned by the violent aura. Then, through the speakerphone, a cold and contemptuous sneer sounded: "Are you Xu Jun?"
There are many young men in Oxente who look down on others with their chins, but there is only one who can never say anything nice, and that is Song Yucong, the second young master of the Song family. As the president of the student union, Xu Jun has naturally come into contact with these second-generation rich people who only rely on their family.
His eyes flashed with the same contempt as the one on the other end of the phone, but his voice was calm: "Yes."
At this moment, in the office of the tallest building in the school, Song Yucong was sitting on the sofa. He was not wearing a school uniform, with his collar half open, revealing the faint lines of his abdominal muscles. His pale face during the day had returned to normal. If you look closely, you can see that he has painted lip glaze on his thin lips and his hair has been done. On the table next to him are a full variety of fruits and various game consoles.
The only thing on the table, trying to cover up the truth, was a scribbled test paper.
Song Yucong had already sent someone to take a look at all of Tao Ning's admission information. He knew where his dormitory was and which class he was in. He was originally very unhappy that Tao Ning lived in a double room, but after knowing that his roommate was Xu Jun, he no longer had any objections.
Because everyone in Oxente knew that Xu Jun only cared about fame and fortune. He was a complete egoist and an outrageous mysophobia. His office would be completely disinfected and sterilized whenever someone went there, as if he was the only person in the world and everyone else was garbage.
Song Yucong looked down on arrogant cowards like Xu Jun, so he didn't worry about what Xu Jun would do to the country bumpkin. Although he didn't know why he thought so, he was relieved overall. He sneered: "Tell that country bumpkin to come to the top floor of the office building to find me as soon as he comes back, otherwise I will make him pay." After that, he hung up the phone.
Holding the cold receiver in his hand, Xu Jun couldn't help but frown. It was almost dark. Why would that transfer student be connected to such a idiot? He suddenly remembered that Tao Ning said she came in by car, and a subtle feeling arose.
Does that nice lemon scent have an owner?
Xu Jun couldn't help but frown even tighter above his gold-rimmed glasses. His face looked a little bad. He sat at the desk and started doing the questions again. However, after a while, the paper that he had finished half of was still blank. Until the door opened, a faint lemon scent slowly came over.
It smells so good, the only scent that has made him feel dazed in all these years.
What a pity.
Tao Ning didn't know what was going on. After he went downstairs, he not only took out the trash, but also went to the shopping mall inside the school to buy a loaf of bread. This trip to the mall was a small experience for Tao Ning, and it was also his first time to go to a bustling shopping mall since he came to Haizhou.
There was a dazzling array of goods, spread across multiple floors, and even a place for fishing. Tao Ning thought, "Xiao Meng would be so happy if she were here." However, everything in the mall was incredibly expensive. He found a more affordable snack shop and planned to buy some goodies to share with his roommates.
Xu Jun is not only the target of pursuit, but also the roommate with whom he will live for the next year.
The system suggested to him: [Dumb, why don't you do what they did in Secret Love Legend and buy him some spicy noodles? I think the 'Spicy Fish Tail' on the bottom shelf is good. These spicy noodles are the spiciest snacks in your province X, right?]
Tao Ning felt that this method was a bit unethical and said hesitantly, "No... People with stomach problems can't eat this." He, a person without stomach problems, once ate some out of curiosity. It was so spicy that he drank a whole bottle of ice water in one breath. After returning home, he vomited and had diarrhea and went to the clinic. After Tao Yuan knew the reason, he scolded him. From then on, snacks such as spicy strips were strictly prohibited in the family.
Zhao Jingqun also had a firm attitude. She never bought spicy strips for him, and the food she cooked was rarely spicy. If he had indigestion, she would rub his stomach all night after returning home.
Tao Ning lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes. Unconsciously, he became more and more sensitive to the emotions around him. He could already distinguish between what was liked, what was disliked, and what was disliked.
Finally, she bought a lemon-flavored cookie. Tao Ning carefully handed the cookie to the person in front of the desk. Under the incandescent light, his eyebrows and eyes were curved in a smile, like the crescent moon that had appeared outside the window. Even though it was blocked by the dull black-framed glasses, it was still very beautiful.
"Here you go."
Xu Jun stared at him, his face expressionless. No one knew what he was thinking at that moment. His subtle and complex gaze swept across the boy's curved eyebrows and eyes, and fell to his fair and slender wrist. The boy's wrist was lonely and fragile, just like the neck he saw during the day, so fragile and vulnerable.
He doesn't like weak creatures.
But for some unknown reason, Xu Jun accepted the biscuits that were so close to him. If other students saw this, they would definitely be shocked, because they had been with this president for more than two years, and they had never seen this president of an ordinary background eat in the cafeteria, let alone accept other people's food. It is said that he has never eaten anything other than what he cooked himself.
Click.
The sound of another person taking over the plastic wrapper was very clear, and the bony fingers accidentally touched the boy's soft fingertips. Xu Jun froze slightly. In the past, he would definitely disinfect it, but when he brought the biscuits over, the cloyingly sweet lemon scent rushed into his nose.
His fingers tightened, making a crackling sound, and the plastic bag wrinkled. Out of the boy's sight, Xu Jun lowered his head, his gold-rimmed glasses reflecting a dark arc. He couldn't help but sniff the boy's scent on his fingers and the bag.
Few people know that he has a sweet tooth and a little more would be better.
...Such a nice smell, why would you fall for a piece of garbage?
So when it was around eight o'clock in the evening, the shrill ring of the phone rang through the dormitory again. Tao Ning went to answer it, and a familiar growl came from the other end of the phone: "Why haven't you come yet? I've been waiting for you for almost three hours, you know?!" Although the voice was full of rage, there was a subtle sense of grievance in the tone.
Tao Ning, who answered the phone, was a little confused, his hair standing on end, and asked softly, "...What haven't you come yet?"
There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds, and then, a gnashing voice that could be heard throughout the dormitory: "Xu! Jun!"
Tao Ning subconsciously looked at the person in front of the desk, only to see that the man had no reaction after hearing Song Yucong's rage, and his face was unusually calm: "Sorry, I forgot." Although it was an apology, there was no trace of apology in his voice.
