Chapter 11 Chapter 11 The Second Wish
Jinglin was always very thoughtful and considerate. Whether he was just starting high school or after the class division, he was the popular class monitor. The class was full of talented people, and everyone admired him. Besides his ability, his personal charm was also enough to convince everyone.
Although Li Shanyue didn't know, System 05 knew why Jinglin was still in school at this time. After school, he didn't go home but stayed in the library.
Li Shanyue's progress made him feel pressured, but the greater the pressure, the more he liked Li Shanyue.
Since the study group was formed, Jinglin's favorability towards Gong Yuan and Li Shanyue has gradually increased, and now both are 25.
This person is quite interesting.
System 05 initially only studied him as the target of the mission. Because Li Shanyue's wish was to make Jing Lin fall in love with her, System 05 focused its attention on Jing Lin.
To make a person who is originally indifferent to you fall in love with you, in other words, is to distort his will, change his habits, and subvert his past.
Love... System 05 has seen it many times. Among the wishes it has listened to, "love" occupies a large proportion.
Whether to accept the umbrella or not was entirely up to Li Shanyue. Since they formed a study group, System 05 had rarely interfered with Li Shanyue's actions.
Li Shanyue took the umbrella and said, "Thank you. How long do you want to wait? I'll wait for the bus with you."
Jinglin→Li Shanyue: 26
Li Shanyue→Jinglin: 70
Ever since Jinglin started helping Li Shanyue with her studies, Li Shanyue's favorability towards him has never dropped and has remained at around 70. This favorability is very high, but it cannot be said that Li Shanyue is deeply in love with Jinglin and likes him very much, because Li Shanyue's initial favorability towards everyone is particularly high.
He has a favorability rating of 57 towards his homeroom teacher!
Especially since the favorability level has dropped from 99, it can only be said that Li Shanyue has more contact with Jinglin now and has taken off the original filter.
System 05 can determine that the mission is on the right track. Li Shanyue and Jinglin have both come into contact with a more authentic version of each other. Curiosity is the first step to generating attraction, and understanding can lead to deeper trust between them.
Li Shanyue and Jinglin stood side by side on the steps. The rain was getting heavier and the street lights blurred into a distant halo.
Only the sound of rain made it seem even quieter, and the other person's presence more distinct.
Jinglin's favorability slowly increased.
System 05 was already silently pondering how to write the report back to the main interface. Letting Li Shanyue improve herself first was definitely the right approach. Everything was going according to plan…except for Gong Yuan's appearance. However, that guy probably wouldn't have much of an impact. What else could he do…
System 05 stared at the car that suddenly appeared with wide eyes.
A pitch-black car drove over and stopped right in front of the steps. The window slowly rolled down, revealing Gong Yuan's overly pale face.
The ends of his hair were slightly wet, giving it a cool feel, and his pupils appeared even darker in the rain shadows, almost blending into the darkness.
Could you please not show up at this time?
System 05 was about to become chaotic. Gong Yuan didn't explain why he was there, but simply said, "I'll take you back."
System 05 floated in front of Gong Yuan and grabbed his shoulders tightly, wanting to make this person disappear completely.
You are everywhere!
System 05 confirmed that Gong Yuan could not see it, but it suddenly felt uneasy. It approached Gong Yuan, and its golden pupils reflected the boy with black hair and black pupils, but the boy's eyes were empty.
Gong Yuan suddenly smiled.
System 05 frowned. This person...is he really Gong Yuan?
Faced with Gong Yuan's appearance, Jing Lin and Li Shanyue were both moved. Li Shanyue wanted to refuse, but Jing Lin said his car would be there soon. Gong Yuan said slowly, "Even if you hold an umbrella, you'll get wet in this weather and might catch a cold."
The midterm exam is coming soon, and a cold will definitely affect his condition. Li Shanyue quickly nodded in agreement. He was the one who didn't care the most here. Jing Lin hesitated for a while, then nodded and got in the car.
After Li Shanyue got in the car, he thanked the driver for his hard work and then asked System 05: [Why is Gong Yuan here?]
Gong Yuan went home early every day because he was in poor health and needed more rest. Ever since System 05 had that doubt in his mind, he could no longer ignore the various anomalies that had occurred. He took out Gong Yuan's character card and carefully reviewed his past.
The Gong family is prominent, and there are people in the family who are engaged in politics and business. He also has a capable brother, and he himself has a disease that he was born with, so the Gong family has no limit to his doting on him.
He didn't have any special experiences, he had few contacts and no circle of friends. Jinglin was the only friend he could talk to.
System 05 pondered and asked: [Why do you think?]
[Is he here specifically to take over as class monitor?] Li Shanyue pondered: [They seem to live in the same neighborhood. They bought a house nearby because they came here to study... They're really rich.]
System 05: [You will be able to make this much money in the future.]
Li Shanyue's eyes lit up: [Really?! 05, can you see the future?]
System 05: [This is just a calculation based on the model.]
Li Shanyue was about to ask for more details when Gong Yuan next to her suddenly asked, "How are you preparing for the midterm exam?"
Li Shanyue was stunned for a moment and said, "That's it. What about you?"
Jinglin sat in the front seat, tilting his head slightly.
Gong Yuan said slowly, "Well... try to do better on the test, and change your impression of me."
His seemingly intimate words did not make Li Shanyue happy at all, let alone flattered. Instead, she felt a little numb.
The car first sent Li Shanyue back, and then turned to send Gong Yuan and Jing Lin home. After Li Shanyue left, Gong Yuan became quiet. Jing Lin glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. He was sitting upright and silent, like a fragile and exquisite porcelain.
The midterm exams were just around the corner. The class monitor could get the results a little early. While he was helping out in the office, the head teacher suddenly said, "This midterm is a joint exam for five schools. Not only are you first in your grade, you're also first overall among all five schools."
Jinglin listened quietly.
The head teacher glanced at his mask and said tentatively, "Everyone knows that you are an excellent child. Sometimes there is no need to push yourself too hard. If you feel unwell, go back and rest early."
"Just a little cough." Jinglin lowered his eyes. He already knew his results.
5 points higher than the second place.
Li Shanyue ranked fifth in the class this time and ranked over 30 among the five schools, while Gong Yuan was 17th. Considering that he couldn't even read the first page of a math textbook before, this was truly an amazing improvement.
After the exam, the usual routine involved reviewing the papers and holding a parent-teacher conference. Li Shanyue meticulously analyzed the papers, checking for any omissions. But Jinglin wasn't in class during the review, and the parent-teacher conference was attended by a middle-aged man. Li Shanyue knew he was Jinglin's driver, and Jinglin's parents had never attended a parent-teacher conference.
After some hesitation, Li Shanyue went to ask the uncle, who replied, "He's sick and is on an IV drip at home."
Li Shanyue was slightly stunned. System 05 said: [Go check on him.]
It was only natural that Jinglin should visit him, considering how dedicated he was to helping him in the group. But was he supposed to go to Jinglin's house? Li Shanyue wondered if he would be thrown out by security at the door.
No matter how much Li Shanyue hesitated, System 05 was determined to send him to Jinglin's home. After Li Shanyue talked with the uncle and the parent-teacher conference was over, the uncle contacted Jinglin and took Li Shanyue back directly.
Li Shanyue, led by the driver, finally arrived at Jinglin's residence. After scanning his face, the door opened automatically, and the driver walked into the house. Li Shanyue stood in the living room, placing fruit on the table. After a while, the driver emerged from the bedroom and said to him, "Little student, you can come in."
Jinglin's home was decorated in a cold, Chinese style, dominated by black, white, and gray, making it seem particularly empty. Li Shanyue walked into the bedroom. Jinglin was sitting up with his back against the headboard, a needle stuck in the back of his hand, and drops of transparent liquid were being injected into his body through his veins.
He looked haggard, his fever having just subsided, and his eyes were still red, but he remained gentle and polite, his actions measured and measured. He was quite surprised by Li Shanyue's appearance, and Li Shanyue chatted with him for a few words before she had nothing more to say.
"You've made great progress this time," Jinglin said.
Li Shanyue hummed in frustration. After a moment, he opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief, "Let's not even talk about studying now."
Jinglin couldn't help but smile. He turned his head and said, "Please pour me a glass of water."
"Okay!" Li Shanyue was just wondering how to break the silence between the two of them, so he immediately jumped up to pour some water. Jinglin looked at his impetuous figure and felt that he looked like a man full of energy...
I feel like there is no suitable metaphor... Li Shanyue came back and asked awkwardly: "Where is the kettle?"
The driver left quietly, and Li Shanyue could only ask him.
Jinglin pointed: "In the kitchen."
Unfortunately, there was no water in the kettle, so Li Shanyue had to try using the obviously expensive kettle. While waiting, he suddenly remembered something: "Gong Yuan must have known he was sick, but he didn't even tell me."
He felt a bit of a headache whenever he mentioned Gong Yuan. However, when a problem arose, it had to be solved. There was no point in avoiding it. Ever since discovering that something was amiss with Gong Yuan, System 05 had begun to focus on him as well.
【Maybe he doesn't know.】System 05 said.
