Chapter 196
On the other side of the city, when Xia Yueyue emerged from the holographic game pod, it was already slightly dawn.
Xia Yueyue yawned a few times, but when she was almost in the bedroom, she felt that her face was too oily, so she turned back to the bathroom halfway.
Then her phone screen lit up slightly; it was a new message, saved as "Chen Chen Number One":
"Yueyue, you've had a hard day."
"Get some rest early, otherwise Yueyue's eyes won't be pretty."
After seeing the message, Xia Yueyue scoffed, "That idiot! I'm still awake so late, isn't it because he found such bad teammates?!"
"I've been playing all night and I still haven't passed the first stage of the dungeon."
"I said I didn't want to play anymore, but he still insisted that I stay with him?!"
"It's so annoying."
Xia Yueyue walked to the sink, washed her face, and looked at herself in the mirror. By this time, she had already lost a lot of the excess fat, and the outline of her facial features was gradually becoming clearer.
Not long after the system was bound, Xia Yueyue had almost completely shed her former self.
Xia Yueyue touched her face and examined the girl in the mirror.
Her eyes were slightly elongated willow-leaf eyes, and her skin was much fairer and smoother than before, revealing a hint of youthful vigor.
But her eyes revealed a fierce and greedy look, and Xia Yueyue spoke with displeasure:
"System, why is my nose still so short?!"
"My skin is much smoother now, but it's not white enough."
In the past few days, the Cupid Love System has clearly discerned Xia Yueyue's inner changes.
Xia Yueyue, who used to only slander and curse others in secret, now has a deeper understanding of appearance and material possessions.
It is inherently evil, and regardless of whether it intervenes or not, it will inevitably produce evil consequences.
Its existence is nothing more than a source of nourishment.
The Cupid System didn't care about the host's attitude. After hearing Xia Yueyue's dissatisfaction, it coaxed her to speak again:
"Host, the reason why we haven't reached your level of satisfaction is because we haven't collected enough love points."
"If the host can absorb more love points, she will become more beautiful."
After hearing this, Xia Yueyue didn't complain anymore. She knew the system was right, so she could only take out her phone and reply to Chen Chen's message:
"Yueyue is not sleepy. As long as she can stay with Brother Chen, Yueyue will be very happy."
"Brother Chenchen, don't think Yueyue is stupid."
"After all, she likes Chenchen-ge the most~"
This move naturally pleased the man on the other end of the chat, and Chen Chen immediately sent Xia Yueyue a few more messages.
Upon hearing the system's announcement of the rising affection, Xia Yueyue's lips curled into an arrogant smile.
See, as long as Xia Yueyue makes a move, isn't it easy to win over a man?
In between replying to Chen Chen's messages, Xia Yueyue clicked on the profile picture of "Strategy for Wang Yangyang #28":
"Hey bro, are you asleep?"
"Yueyue had a nightmare."

There aren't many classes on Mondays. X University always tries to avoid Monday mornings and Friday afternoons when scheduling classes, perhaps to give students a buffer time.
Hello, senior.
"Hello, President."
When Duan Shen left the student activity center, it was pouring rain outside. He stopped on the steps of the building and looked up at the dark clouds in the sky.
I'm really not in a good mood.
On the day of the charity sale, Duan Shen sent Ying Ning a message, asking her to wait for him at the school gate after the event.
But when he left the school, he didn't see the person he had imagined.
He called Yingning, and the noise from her surroundings clearly indicated a party, with Song Zi's voice also sounding in the background.
Oh, and there was also the sound of Song Zi calling out "little brother, little brother."
He asked her, "Why didn't you wait for me at the school gate?"
"Sorry, I just saw the message." Her voice was cool, and she added:
"Did you call me because there's something important?"
She's so bad at talking that she doesn't even bother to lie.
Important things?
Does that mean he can't contact her unless it's something important?
when...
The two of them turned out like this.
Duan Shen didn't even know what he was angry about at the time. He had a cold face almost the whole way back to the dormitory from school. When his roommate saw this, he thought he had been bitten by a dog.
Duan Shen rubbed his temples, feeling somewhat irritated.
He has received excellent education and upbringing since childhood. He always takes the initiative to solve any problems he encounters, whether in his studies or in his daily life.
He really had no experience with this situation.
Duan Shen's gaze lingered on a puddle of water, watching it ripple countless times, and his own state of mind seemed uneasy as well.
He seemed lost in thought when a surprised voice suddenly appeared beside him: "Duan, what are you doing here?"
"I have an umbrella, let me give it to you!"
Duan Shencai snapped out of his reverie and looked at the girl beside him, who was much shorter than him. The light from his glasses was reflected in Liu Ye's eyes.
Who is this person?
Do I recognize myself?
Duan Shen directly refused Xia Yueyue's offer: "Thank you, but no need."
"But Duan, you don't have an umbrella." Xia Yueyue felt that Duan was embarrassed, so she pretended to be cute and said:
"Duan Shen, you'll get wet."
But little did she know that the man beside her wasn't listening to her at all. He turned around and immediately found his target, leaving behind only a fleeting, swift silhouette.
"Hey classmate, let's walk together." Duan Shen rushed under someone's umbrella, startling the male classmate who was holding the umbrella, but the classmate kindly held half of the umbrella over Duan Shen.
"Senior Duan, where are you going? I'll give you a ride."
Duan Shen originally wanted to say "boys' dormitory," but a class schedule came to mind, so he spoke directly:
"I'm going to the business school."
*
The business school at X University is a typical European-style building. The entire first floor houses the administration office, offices, a study area, and an indoor tea bar.
The temperature dropped today, and the aroma of tea filled the air.
The aroma of oolong tea mingled with the fragrance of black tea, wafting from the boiling teapot into the nostrils of every passing student, dispelling the chill in their hearts.
The staircases on both sides are covered with photos of this year's honorary teachers.
"Ring ring ring." The bell rang, signaling the end of the seventh and eighth periods, and students walked out of the classrooms.
When Yingning left the classroom, she happened to see Duan Shen standing at the classroom door.
He was slightly damp, and leaned lazily against the glass railing.
At this moment, a few strands of thick, dark hair still clung to his full left forehead, while a few simple characters were tattooed on the collar of his shirt, and the black buttons on his shirt were even more profound than his phoenix eyes.
But others cannot escape his eyes.
“Duan Shen?” Ying Ning walked up to him.
Duan Shen had naturally noticed her long ago; even before get out of class ended, he had already caught a glimpse of Ying Ning through the window.
Even though she was sitting in a somewhat secluded corner.
She looked surprised, not expecting to see herself at the classroom door.
Duan Shen had thought things through a lot along the way. He straightened up, no longer leaning against the railing, making his figure appear exceptionally tall and slender.
"Ningning."
"We need to talk."
What should we talk about?
"Let's talk..."
"Recent events." His voice trailed off slightly, as if he were barely making it out.
