Ruan Qing'an looked somewhat embarrassed, staring at Zhou Zihang in disbelief: "I've been pursuing you for three years, Zhou Zihang. Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are?!"
"I don't believe you would like someone like that. She must have seduced you, Brother Hang. Don't joke with me, okay?"
"Can I not bother you these days?"
She spoke in a somewhat humble tone.
But Zhou Zihang's expression was only one of disgust and coldness: "What do you have to do with me, Ruan Qing'an? Don't flatter yourself. Whether Chen Siyue is here or not, I will never like you!"
"Brother Hang..."
Ruan Qing'an shouted, looking incredulously at him shielding Chen Siyue behind him, as if he were in so much pain that his heart was about to die. His slightly angry gaze unconsciously fell on Chen Siyue.
Chen Siyue was originally just a good girl. Even if she had some unspeakable little thoughts, her nature would not change.
Her expression changed after meeting Ruan Qing'an's gaze.
Chen Siyue was genuinely afraid that the female school bully would hit her. She couldn't help but tremble, instinctively pushed Zhou Zihang's hand away, and ran out quickly without daring to linger.
After noticing Chen Siyue running away, Zhou Zihang lost all interest in confronting her. He glared at Ruan Qingan and chased after her.
And only after they all left—
Ruan Qing'an, who had been looking humble and aggrieved, wiped her face and tried to calm herself down. She wasn't a professional actress, so if she wanted to portray the original owner's emotions, she could only try her best to mobilize all her emotions, which naturally made it difficult to control them freely.
This made it difficult for Ruan Qing'an to control her emotions. She lowered her head, wiped away her tears, and sobbed as she tried to calm herself down.
x09 asked softly, "Are you alright, host?"
"...I think I can learn to act."
Ruan Qingan wiped away her tears and finally calmed down: "This is the first time I've ever been a simp, I'm really a bit stunned."
But at this moment, the chuckle in his mind grew even lower and hoarse: "Host, you may have misunderstood something. The Bureau's requirement is indeed that you cannot violate the character setting, but the character setting is multifaceted."
"In other words, taking the original owner as an example, her character traits are simp, love-obsessed, female school bully, and arrogant. Without violating the basic character traits, you can selectively amplify one aspect. Do you understand what I mean? This is considered an unspoken rule."
x09's words were clearly implying something.
Ruan Qing'an seemed to understand but not quite: "x09, you mean, with the same four attributes, I can selectively adjust the different proportions in my personality and actions to make me feel less stifled?"
"For example, 1% of sycophants and 99% of arrogance?"
x09's voice trailed off, tinged with a smile: "Shh—"
Nevertheless, Ruan Qing'an could still sense the affirmation in the words. Her leaden eyes brightened as if she had opened up a new world—the various quirky actions of the future chief mission taker were not only due to his own unique thought process, but also to X09's guidance.
Administration Bureau: ...We recommend the immediate recall of x09!
After figuring it out, Ruan Qing'an asked in return, "If I want to change the fact that the original owner likes Zhou Zihang, can I also find a way to amplify this influence based on the content and development of the plot?"
"That's not all."
x09 paused: "You can also join the event, as long as it leads to the result we want, you have absolute autonomy to choose."
Hearing this, Ruan Qing'an finally understood. She lowered her head and carefully began to recall the plot. Finally, she had a clear understanding of the logic behind her newbie world quest, as if she had opened up her mind.
After a brief moment of thought, Ruan Qing'an said, "I understand, x09. Let's wait for Zhou Zihang and the others."
"Um?"
x09 countered, "Host, what do you intend to do?"
Ruan Qing'an smiled and said softly, "I already have a plan in mind. At least... I can't let my teacher down, can I?"
x09, who was jokingly called "teacher," remained silent and then smiled softly.
...
The original owner's family was quite well-off, considered one of the wealthiest in this small city, just like Zhou Zihang, who could inherit the family business. They were from the same social class and lived close by.
However, unlike Zhou Zihang's innate rebelliousness, the original owner did not have parents to discipline her, because they were always working abroad.
In x09's words, this is also a perk for newbies.
After all, if parents were also at home, the task performer would have to play the role 24 hours a day, which would be detrimental to mental adjustment and adaptation. But there certainly wouldn't be such a good thing in the future, so she wasn't surprised.
Ruan Qingan: Who has ever seen capitalism care about its employees?
That evening, as she was hunched over her desk, meticulously writing down her plans, the windowpane suddenly shattered. Ruan Qing'an was jolted awake from her reverie and stared blankly into the window.
Unexpectedly, there was a stone at her feet.
Who on earth was smashing her window from the outside?
A sudden, uncontrollable rage welled up within Ruan Qing'an. She strode to the window, but before she could even speak—
"Host, tilt your head to the left."
x09's low, hoarse voice suddenly appeared in my mind.
Before Ruan Qing'an could even react, her body had already moved involuntarily. And the next moment, another stone flew past her head. If it weren't for X09's warning, it would have hit her head and smashed it open!
Ruan Qingan was clearly stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and immediately saw Zhou Zihang standing under the windowsill.
"Zhou Zihang, are you fucking crazy?!"
Even if the original owner was a love-struck simp, she was still an arrogant school bully just like Zhou Zihang. When she was bullied and came to his door, she naturally couldn't lower her voice and call him "Brother Hang" in a flattering way.
Perhaps this is also why Zhou Zihang disliked the original owner of the body.
No matter how much she likes me, she's essentially just as reckless as me. She can't be hit, scolded, or spoken to. Aside from using so-called feelings to coax me, she's nothing like a well-behaved girl like Chen Siyue.
Even if the methods are a bit forceful or excessive, Chen Siyue will only accept them, and only dare to accept them, infatuated with the so-called bad boy's "badness".
But Zhou Zihang himself was unaware of these things.
He irritably lit a cigarette, and when Ruan Qing'an appeared, he cursed, "Get down here, I have something to ask you, Ruan Qing'an."
"Were the injuries on Chen Siyue inflicted by you?"
