"Brother Feng~" A sweet voice came from the right. Han Feng mechanically turned his head and saw Mu Xiaoxiao smiling at him, her chin resting on her hand. Sunlight danced on her chestnut-colored hair. "Can you buy me an iced milk tea? Same as always, the bubble tea from the shop near the school gate, half sugar, no ice."
Han Feng's heart pounded. This scene was all too familiar—on this day in his past life, it was right here that his ten-year-long simping career began. Back then, he ran a kilometer under the scorching sun, and when he returned, his school uniform was soaked with sweat, yet she didn't even say thank you when she accepted the milk tea.
"Ding! The options system has been successfully activated."
A cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang in Han Feng's mind, and at the same time, a semi-transparent blue light screen appeared before his eyes:
[Option 1] Go buy it immediately (Reward: Mu Xiaoxiao's favorability +1)
[Option 2] Pretend you didn't hear (no reward)
[Option 3] Buy back heated milk tea (Requires 1 point of prediction value, reward: experience points +20)
Han Feng stared intently at the third option. What was the prediction value? And what did experience points mean?
"System notification: The host currently has 3 prediction points, which can predict the outcome of the options in 5 seconds."
Han Feng chose three without hesitation.
"Predicted activation—"
The scene suddenly shifted: he saw himself returning to the classroom with scalding hot milk tea. Mu Xiaoxiao took a sip and screamed in pain from the burn, spilling the tea all over her white school uniform skirt, causing the surrounding classmates to burst into laughter...
After making his prediction, Han Feng's lips unconsciously curled into a smile.
"Okay, wait a minute." Han Feng deliberately raised his voice as he stood up, "That bubble tea shop near the school gate, half sugar, no ice, right?"
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled contentedly, then turned to whisper with her best friend Li Ting. I clearly saw Li Ting casting a mocking glance at me—how come Han Feng in my past life never noticed that they would laugh at me like this every time they made me run errands?
Ten minutes later, Han Feng returned to the classroom with a milk tea that had been microwaved until it was scalding hot. Mu Xiaoxiao didn't even glance at it, took the milk tea, and took a big gulp.
"Ah!" she screamed, jumping up and spilling milk tea all over herself. "Han Feng, are you crazy? It's so hot!"
The classroom fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at us. Mu Xiaoxiao's white dress was stained light brown by milk tea, and sticky pearls clung to the hem, making it look comically like an overturned palette.
"Option complete! Reward: Experience +20, Host has completed the beginner quest and received a critical hit x2."
Current experience points: 40/100
"Unlocked Ability: Micro-expression Analysis Lv.1"
Han Feng suddenly understood every expression on Mu Xiaoxiao's face—the panic that flashed in her eyes, the slight twitch at the corner of her mouth caused by shame and anger, and the viciousness in her eyes when she looked at him.
"I'm so sorry," Han Feng said, feigning panic as he pulled out a tissue. "I forgot to tell the staff I wanted ice, they probably overheated it..."
"You did this on purpose, didn't you?" Li Ting slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly.
"No, it's really possible that the clerk just forgot." Han Feng spread his hands, feigning innocence.
"Ignore him, Tingting, come with me to the restroom!" Mu Xiaoxiao shouted, her face flushed.
Han Feng watched Mu Xiaoxiao's disheveled figure rush towards the bathroom and smiled silently.
In my past life, you humiliated me in every way, and even took my life. In this life, with the system's blessing, I will repay you a thousandfold for all the suffering I have endured!
Taking advantage of this moment, Han Feng carefully examined the system panel.
Name: Han Feng
Age: 17
Ability: Micro-expression analysis Lv1
Predicted value: 2/3 (One point is restored every hour; each point consumed allows for a prediction of the next 5 seconds.)
Experience: 40/100
Current level: 1
Han Feng looked at his attribute panel, wondering what the use of experience points was. At this moment, the system gave a helpful prompt: When the host's experience points are full, he can level up. Each level up will grant enhanced abilities. Experience points can be obtained by completing tasks issued by the system.
Han Feng thought to himself: Very well, then let the revenge come even more fiercely!
Mu Xiaoxiao and Li Ting did not return to the classroom all afternoon. Fortunately, today was just the first day of school registration, so they simply talked about the new semester, the arrangements, and cleaning.
After all this, the classmates looked at Han Feng with different eyes. Everyone knew that Han Feng was Mu Xiaoxiao's loyal simp, and had been simping on Mu Xiaoxiao for a year without fail. Today, he suddenly changed his mind.
Even Han Feng's good friend Wang Hao couldn't help but give Han Feng a thumbs up: "Hey Han Feng, has he completely let go? Or is he just playing hard to get?"
Han Feng glanced at him irritably: "Haozi, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm just realizing my mistake and turning back from the right path, okay?"
"Oh, oh, oh, you've finally seen the light. I don't know who it was before, always playing the sentimental card, saying she only let you do things to test you, and told everyone else to get lost." Wang Hao said with a smug look, mimicking what Han Feng had said before.
Han Feng got goosebumps when he heard this. Even now, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine when he heard these words. He really didn't know how he had been so blinded by greed in his previous life.
Remembering the stunningly beautiful girl from before his rebirth, the girl who was willing to give her life for his revenge—Liu Mengran—Han Feng's lips curled into a smile.
"Liu Mengran, I've already made a mistake in one lifetime, but I won't let you slip away in this one!"
When the school bell rang, Han Feng deliberately packed his bag slowly. Through the reflection in the classroom window, he saw Zhou Zihao and three sports students blocking the corner of the corridor, glancing in their direction every now and then.
System notification: Danger warning
"Zhou Zihao's hatred level was detected at 45%"
"Estimated conflict outcome: 78% probability of host injury"
Han Feng's lips curled into a slight smile. In his past life, Han Feng had escaped a disaster on this day because he was helping Mu Xiaoxiao with her chores. But now, Han Feng couldn't wait to see their meticulously prepared "welcome ceremony."
The classroom quickly emptied. Han Feng had just stepped out the back door when he was forcefully dragged into the men's restroom. His back slammed heavily against the tiled wall, causing him to groan in pain.
"Hey, isn't this our 'helpful classmate' Han Feng?" Zhou Zihao's sarcastic voice exploded in my ears. He had styled his hair specially today, sprayed on a heavy bottle of cologne, and casually draped his school uniform jacket over his shoulders, revealing his muscular arms.
Looking around—Zhou Zihao's two henchmen were blocking the doorway, and a third was turning on the tap and filling a plastic bag with water. Memories from my past life flooded back: they used to throw plastic bags full of water at my head like this, letting themselves go home soaking wet.
"System option triggered"
Option 1: Escape (No reward)
Option 2: Head-on confrontation (20% success rate, reward: Constitution +1)
Option 3: Set a trap so the school principal will see you (Requires "Foresight" skill; Reward: Zhou Zihao receives a demerit).
Han Feng narrowed his eyes. Option 2 had a very low success rate, while option 1 was too humiliating. Without hesitation, he chose option three.
"Predicted activation—"
A scene from the next five minutes flashed before my eyes: Han Feng deliberately provoked Zhou Zihao, stalling for time until the school principal passed by; just as Zhou Zihao raised his fist, the school principal pushed open the door and entered...
