[The Strongest Love System is at your service.]
A lively female voice appeared in Xiao Xiao's mind. She was tidying up her personal belongings in the dormitory when it startled her.
"Wh-who's there?"
Xiao Xiao stopped what she was doing and warily looked around. She even clenched a small fist and held it up in warning.
Her dormmates hadn't arrived yet, and the voice clearly hadn't come from the doorway. The only possibility was that someone was hiding in the dormitory.
But the room was only ten square meters, and every corner was in plain sight. There was nowhere anyone could hide.
"Could I have imagined it? I guess I was just too excited."
After looking around, Xiao Xiao patted her chest in relief. She was just about to continue tidying up when the voice appeared in her mind again.
[It wasn't your imagination! The Strongest Love System can help you find the one who's right for you.]
This time, Xiao Xiao was certain where the voice had come from: her own mind.
What???
Could it be the kind of ghost old people were always talking about?
No problem. She was a Soul Master. A measly little ghost was no match for her—one punch, and it'd be reduced to dust.
The violent little girl thought excitedly.
[I'm a system, not a ghost.]
The voice in her mind corrected the violent little girl's misunderstanding.
[I'm here to teach you One Hundred Love Strategies and help you win the heart of the one you love.]
At the age when she yearned for love most, the Love System's words made Xiao Xiao's heart soar like an eagle.
Xiao Xiao's fair cheeks flushed, and she stammered, "But I don't have anyone I love yet."
The Love System immediately replied with a sarcastic drawl.
[I don't have anyone I love yet... But I know you saw a handsome boy your age while touring Shrek yesterday.]
Being mocked by this mysterious thing made Xiao Xiao's face darken.
"So what if I saw him? What would you know about love, you weird thing?"
The little girl fired back boldly. This weird thing wasn't making any sense. It claimed to be a Love System that taught people how to date, but what did it know about love?
[I may not understand love, but I understand you.]
Xiao Xiao put her hands on her hips and puffed out her cheeks.
"You understand me better than I understand myself?"
[You like handsome boys. The one whose looks captured your heart at first sight is the one you love.]
And then...
"Ah... Ah... You weird thing! Who are you calling a shallow girl who's only after good looks?"
She frantically scratched at the bedsheet.
The system's words had turned Xiao Xiao's whole face bright red. When she touched it, it even felt a little hot.
[So, do you want to see that boy from yesterday again?]
Xiao Xiao rolled over and tried to calm down, but as soon as she thought of the boy she'd seen yesterday—
Her words came out completely opposite to what she wanted to say.
No.
"I do~"
[If you saw other handsome boys, would you forget him?]
Xiao Xiao replied disdainfully, "Of course not. That boy is at least a hundred times better than any other handsome guy."
But as soon as she said it, she regretted it. Why had she let her true feelings slip out?
[Then would you like the Love Master to teach you how to win him over?]
After being tempted by the Love System, Xiao Xiao finally gave in. "Yes."
Whatever. This weird thing had already embarrassed her beyond belief. She might as well accept its offer.
Xiao Xiao had decided to throw caution to the wind.
Still, she wasn't sure whether this weird thing was any good.
"So, how should I win him over?"
[Love Gift Pack awarded.]
Instead of answering, the thing suddenly brought a gorgeous gift pack into view.
Xiao Xiao slowly reached out and touched it.
What she got from inside made her burst with excitement.
[Violent Gloves (Soul Tool Edition): Can be bound to its owner. Once equipped, they function like a third Martial Soul and can be augmented with Soul Rings and grant Soul Skills.] [Transformation Skill: You can only transform into a larger version of yourself. It's the perfect tool for seduction at home and for capturing the heart of the one you love.]
Xiao Xiao's attention was completely captured by the first item. Its description basically told her outright: this is the Martial Soul you'll use in battle, so hurry up and bind it.
She swallowed and asked the system to put it away for her.
Now Xiao Xiao felt full of energy. Whatever came next, she wouldn't be afraid.
[Love Technique Lesson One] [Hesitation leads to defeat. Going straight for it is the best approach.]
Xiao Xiao listened carefully and nodded her little head.
That made sense!
[Say loudly to the one you love: "I like you, Xuanyuan Sheng."]
Xiao Xiao watched the ceiling blur before her eyes. Her mind had all but short-circuited.
She knew the boy's name now.
But...
She stammered, "How outrageous."
In the end, Xiao Xiao couldn't resist the Love System's urging.
It said that confessing outright would leave a deep impression.
The most important thing it said was: what if it worked?
Then she'd have a handsome boyfriend, and she could finally look forward to the romance she'd been dreaming of.
And so, at that very moment,
Xiao Xiao was clutching Xuanyuan Sheng's large hands tightly in her small ones.
Her eyes sparkled as she called out,
"I like you, Xuanyuan Sheng."
That sweet voice and that bold gesture
left Xuanyuan Sheng and Zhang Lexuan completely stunned.
Xuanyuan Sheng looked into the eyes before him, which seemed to speak for themselves, then said something utterly mood-killing. "Little girl, which teacher are you with? I'll take you to find your parents."
Xiao Xiao was completely thrown by Xuanyuan Sheng's response. But when she saw his expression, she realized he was giving her a way out.
Still, she felt like crying. She would've preferred a straight-up rejection. This was a little insulting.
But he was still pretty nice.
Zhang Lexuan watched them clasp hands like devout believers. Remembering Xiao Xiao's bold declaration, she felt inexplicably unsettled.
"Hello, Senior Sister and Xiao Sheng. My name's Xiao Xiao, and I'm in the same year as Xiao Sheng."
Although she'd received a reward, Xiao Xiao clearly wasn't in the mood to check it.
[Love Technique Strategy Two: The loved one's family members are the best wingmen you could ask for.]
She let go of Xuanyuan Sheng's hand and introduced herself to them openly, taking special care to address them familiarly.
Xuanyuan Sheng nodded. "Xuanyuan Sheng. You already know that."
Zhang Lexuan replied absentmindedly, "Zhang Lexuan, Inner Courtyard Senior Sister."
Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up. She put an arm around Zhang Lexuan's and smiled sweetly. "Inner Courtyard Senior Sister! You're amazing!"
Zhang Lexuan looked down at the little girl beside her.
She was a little taken aback, but soon the outgoing girl had whisked her off to go shopping at the East Gate.
Xuanyuan Sheng was left standing where he was.
If he remembered right, that little thing who'd been holding on to Sister Lexuan had just confessed to him. So how come she was clinging to his sister now?
Slowly, an explanation came to mind.
A diversion.
Oh no, Sis—the one beside you is gay!
