Chapter 2
Su Wenxing, whom Qin Lian was worried about, was currently changing classrooms with the rest of the group to attend classes.
Su Wenxing is an art student who chose animation and film as his major.
This afternoon they have two classes, one in sketching and one in Photoshop.
The two classes are in different buildings, so they have to change classrooms after their sketching class.
Su Wenxing's health was not very good, and many students at L University knew this when he first came to class, including several of his roommates.
They were all in the same major, but because Su Wenxing came later, and because Su Wenxing was too beautiful—or, in the boys' words, rather effeminate—they didn't really like walking with him.
However, their not associating with Su Wenxing doesn't mean they harbor ill will towards him. They have no deep-seated hatred for Su Wenxing, nor would they bully him for no reason.
Su Wenxing didn't walk with his roommates; instead, he was accompanied by several pretty female students.
Most of these female students came because of Qin Lian. They knew that Su Wenxing was Qin Lian's childhood friend, so they wanted to get along well with Su Wenxing and then use Su Wenxing to make it easier to get in touch with Qin Lian.
Because Su Wenxing herself is also very beautiful, girls tend to have a strange patience for beautiful creatures.
For example, right now, Su Wenxing walks slowly and speaks weakly.
The girls didn't think he was weak; on the contrary, they felt sorry for him and wanted to take care of him.
Su Wenxing: "Sorry, maybe... you guys should go first? I walk very slowly, and if you keep me company like this, I'll easily be late for class."
Several girls quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay, this class isn't important, it doesn't matter if we're late."
"Yes, yes, we're in university now, so classes aren't as strict."
"It's okay, we can stay with you and take care of you."
Su Wenxing thanked him upon hearing this.
He didn't actually want to trouble others, but seeing their enthusiasm for him, he knew perfectly well that Qin Lian was part of the reason.
He and Qin Lian grew up together. Although Qin Lian always had a cold face and seemed indifferent to everyone, he was very popular with everyone since childhood.
He used to attend the same school as Qin Lian, and because he was Qin Lian's childhood friend, he often received preferential treatment.
Girls would bring him food, just so they could walk with him after school and catch a glimpse of Qin Lian up close.
Some people would ask him to deliver love letters, and he would receive some benefits for each one he did.
However, Qin Lian never read those love letters, and even felt that love letters were a nuisance to him.
Every time Qin Lian saw Su Wenxing delivering love letters for others, he looked at him as if he were a fool.
...
A girl with pigtails said, "You don't need to be so polite. You're so beautiful. It's lucky for us to be able to be friends with you."
This girl is a sophomore, and she has an outgoing personality and is quite talkative.
She has high emotional intelligence and a sweet appearance.
Someone like her, if she genuinely wants to make friends, can easily gain the favor of others.
Of course, there was one exception: Qin Lian, the school's most handsome boy.
She had been following Qin Lian for almost half a year. Even when she stood in front of Qin Lian and spoke to him, Qin Lian would just look at her coldly with his eyes downcast, and he was not willing to say a word to her.
After that, Su Wenxing parted ways with them and found his classroom to start his classes.
He had been looking forward to university life, but these past few days he had something on his mind and kept getting distracted in class.
He shouldn't have been able to attend university because of his poor health; neither his family nor his doctors recommended that he come.
He himself knew that he might not live much longer, and that his time was likely to come within the next two years.
Su Wenxing has congenital heart disease and a genetic disease that is difficult to treat.
He has been in poor health since childhood, and he experiences severe pain when his genetic disease flares up.
The physical pain prevented him from living like a normal person.
He often couldn't help but want to cry, and sometimes he even thought he might as well just die.
But when he was really about to die, thinking of his loving parents, his grandparents, Qin Lian... he felt extremely reluctant to leave.
What no one knew was that he had fallen ill again just a few days ago.
He had a heart attack and a genetic disease at the same time, and he thought he was going to die.
He hid alone in his bedroom, his mouth agape, silently pleading for help, but no one could hear him.
He was in despair and pain at that time.
She really wanted to see her parents, and she also really wanted to see Qin Lian.
Then, just as he was in so much pain that everything went black before his eyes and he felt his life slipping away bit by bit, a voice suddenly rang in his mind.
The other person asked him if he wanted to live.
Without even thinking, he answered, "I want to live!"
"Would you be willing to live as a different species?"
"What kind of creature? Could...could it harm the people around me?"
"Won't."
"Then, then I'm willing."
As long as it doesn't hurt Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, Qin Lian, or anyone around them.
Even if... he might turn into a monster, he would be willing as long as he could still see them.
He didn't know what that thing was until it was bound to him.
It is a system.
A guy called the "Succubus System".
He said he wanted to live as a different kind of being.
In reality, he wanted to live in this world as a succubus.
A succubus is a type of demon.
Demons... seem to be evil and terrifying.
For a moment, Su Wenxing felt a little regretful.
However, it's clearly too late to regret it at this point.
After successfully binding with the system, Su Wenxing was temporarily freed from the torment of his illness with the system's help.
Being bound to the system does not mean he will immediately become healthy.
It took Su Wenxing a long time to figure out how to use the Succubus system.
Succubi can gain magic power by seducing humans and getting close to them, and this magic power can repair Su Wenxing's body, which is on the verge of death.
The more magic he possesses, the healthier his body becomes.
Once his body has fully recovered, he will transform from a human into a qualified succubus.
As for sticking together with humans, how exactly does that sticking happen?
He needs to select a human from his surroundings as his target.
The system will assign him various succubus-related tasks based on his physical condition and target.
Su Wenxing didn't need to guess to know exactly what it was.
After all, it's a succubus system, and succubi are evil demons. The so-called "getting close to humans" would definitely involve actions that he would find extremely shameful.
Due to physical reasons, Su Wenxing is somewhat socially anxious and weak.
The only people he could get along with, besides Qin Lian who had always taken care of him since childhood, were his junior high school classmates.
He was a little hesitant to get close to strangers, but at the same time he longed for a healthy body so that he could run happily and laugh freely like everyone else.
He wanted to ride a roller coaster, he wanted to travel, he wanted to climb mountains...
His life shouldn't have been only nineteen years long.
He still has many things to do. He hasn't told his parents how much he loves them and how grateful he is for their dedication to protecting him.
Not wanting to die, nor wanting to be close to strangers, he came up with a very good idea.
He decided to go to L University and then make Qin Lian his target.
Yes, the system only said that he had to choose a human to pursue.
But it didn't say that the person shouldn't know about this.
Su Wenxing felt that the task that could restore his health would definitely not be a simple one.
To make the task easier to complete, and also to avoid having to engage in shameful physical intimacy with strangers against one's will, Su Wenxing thought his method was quite good.
He finds it much easier to be close to his childhood friend Qin Lian than to be close to a stranger.
Also, Qin Lian is so good to him, she will definitely agree to his request.
After finishing her last class, Su Wenxing packed up and returned to her dormitory.
He didn't really like living in dormitories; he had never lived in a school dormitory before.
His family is quite well-off; he not only has his own huge bedroom, but also a beautiful study.
In addition, due to his health condition, he was also unable to live with the other students.
He dared to share a dormitory with others this time because he had a succubus system.
The system has given him a buff, so his body won't have any problems for the time being.
If he successfully persuades Qin Lian to become his conquest target during dinner that evening, he can immediately complete the system's assigned task. He can gain magic points by sticking stickers on Qin Lian, and then exchange those magic points for health points.
To make it easier and more intuitive for him to know his health status, the system added a character health value data to the system panel.
Currently, his health value is a pitiful five points.
The average person's health score is between 90 and 100.
He has a congenital heart disease and a very troublesome genetic disease. He needs to reach a health value of 200 to be completely cured.
After returning to her dormitory, Su Wenxing really wanted to take a shower.
It's September now, and the weather in L City is still a bit hot.
However, if he wanted to take a shower, he had to go to the school's bathhouse, which was far away.
He didn't like showering directly in the toilet like other boys.
He felt the toilet was very dirty and that he couldn't get clean by taking a shower there.
Su Wenxing checked the time; it was already 5:30.
He needed to take a shower, and it took him more than ten minutes to walk from his dormitory to the public bathhouse. Adding the time needed to shower and return, he felt he was running out of time.
He decided to wait until he returned from having dinner with Qin Lian before going to the bathhouse to take a bath.
Thinking this, Su Wenxing rested on the table for a while.
He was a bit tired today. He had to go to two different places to teach two classes in the afternoon, which must have been quite tiring for someone of his small stature.
He lay down on the table and fell asleep without realizing it.
At 6:15, he was woken up by one of the boys in his dormitory.
The other person frowned and looked at him, saying, "Downstairs, Qin Lian is looking for you!"
Logically speaking, they are all freshmen, and it has only been a few days since the start of the semester, so they shouldn't know Qin Lian.
However, because Qin Lian was so famous, his photo was on many bulletin boards at school, and many freshmen knew him, including several of Su Wenxing's roommates.
Upon hearing this, Su Wenxing gently rubbed her eyes. "Thank you, I'll go down now."
The boy seemed a little unaccustomed to Su Wenxing's unusually polite attitude.
He coughed awkwardly, then walked over to the bed by the window and sat down.
Afterwards, Su Wenxing washed her face, grabbed a small bag and her phone, and went downstairs.
Su Wenxing's roommates peered curiously out the window.
They were initially somewhat resentful of Qin Lian, the school's most handsome man.
In their eyes, Qin Lian was only a little taller and better looking than them, and he didn't deserve the title of L University's campus heartthrob at all.
But when they saw Qin Lian in person, they realized that Qin Lian was indeed very handsome.
His good looks are quite different from Su Wenxing's.
Su Wenxing's appearance leans towards the handsome type; he has a delicate and refined look. Whether it's his eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, or even his stature, he resembles a beautiful boy from a manga.
Qin Lian's good looks are the kind that are almost aggressive. He's the kind of person you'd never forget once you've seen him.
His eyes were sharp and piercing, and the way he looked at strangers was as irritating as if he were looking at a dog.
However, because he is good-looking and has a strong, energetic vibe, many people find his dog-like gaze quite charming.
A few boys huddled by the window, watching Su Wenxing and Qin Lian's departing figures, and couldn't help but start whispering among themselves.
"Qin Lian is really tall, he must be 1.9 meters tall, right?"
"It's said that he's exactly 1.9 meters tall. The senior students on the forum say that playing basketball with Qin Lian is incredibly intimidating."
"It's a good thing this guy is graduating soon, otherwise if we spent four years of college in his shadow, even the female dogs on the street probably wouldn't give us a second glance."
"Haha, I heard that Qin Lian is attractive to both men and women. Suddenly I feel sorry for the senior students from before."
