One Move Wonders

Standing before Wen Nan was a sports school girl with a slender waist, long legs, a perky backside, and a healthy, wheat-toned complexion.

The girl had a high-bridged nose, deep-set eyes, and thick, curled lashes. Her features were exquisite and sharp, and paired with her healthy dark skin, she possessed an exotic allure that made her look almost like a person of mixed heritage at first glance.

With such striking and recognizable looks, her beauty was in no way inferior to the school belle, Wu Yuwei. However, at this moment, the girl's pupils had turned a deep, blood-red, and she radiated a violent, stay-away-from-me aura that was truly unsettling.

It seemed this was the fiery sports student.

As he thought this, the system's introductory voice rang out in his mind:

[Name: Lin Fengjiao (Little Chili)]

[Identity: A spicy, hot-bodied girl from the sports school with a fiery personality.]

[Background: You and Little Chili met during a joint dinner between Seventh High School and the sports school. At that dinner, Little Chili was like a little sun, capturing the gazes of all the boys. Many tried to strike up a conversation or ask for her contact information, only to be rejected by her in a blunt and rough manner.

Just as everyone assumed she wasn't interested in the opposite sex and began to back off, Little Chili stood up from her seat. Amidst the jeers and cheers, she walked quickly to you and straightforwardly expressed her affection.

As a boy in the throes of puberty, you admit that you were attracted to Little Chili's gorgeous looks and long legs at the time. However, you believed that romance shouldn't be a rash, impulsive act driven by lust. You two didn't know each other, and you were far from being at the stage of boyfriend and girlfriend, so you politely yet elegantly rejected her.

Little Chili, having been rejected, was not discouraged in the slightest. She shouted in front of everyone: "Ye Jiu, I won't give up! From now on, I will keep chasing you until you have a change of heart!"

Since then, every holiday, Little Chili would come to the gates of Seventh High School to find you. She has persisted for three years, day after day, until now.]

[Difficulty: ★★★☆]

Looking solely at the difficulty, Little Chili was on par with Qiqi—both were three and a half stars—so theoretically, it shouldn't be too hard.

However, Wen Nan could see that things were not that simple.

Clearly, something had happened to send Little Chili into a rage, making her much harder to deal with than usual.

Hearing Little Chili's demand, Wen Nan took out his phone and saw the "99+" notification on the top left corner of their chat box.

"Uh, sorry, I was held up by something earlier and didn't notice the messages." Wen Nan gave her an apologetic smile, trying to change the subject. "It's not the weekend, why are you suddenly off today?"

Little Chili ignored his question, stepped closer to him, and pressed, "What kind of business was so important that you couldn't even reply to a single message from me?"

Wen Nan had been on a date with Qiqi and then taken Xiao Wei to the hospital; he couldn't tell Little Chili about any of that.

He had to find an excuse to calm her down.

Just as Wen Nan was thinking, he saw the girl before him lose her patience during his brief moment of hesitation.

Taking a few steps back, Little Chili let out an angry roar as her body swelled to twice its original size. Her skin began to turn black, carbonizing and cracking into deep fissures.

From those cracks, blinding orange flames burst forth, bathing her entire body in a raging inferno, as if she were a fire demon risen from hell.

[Is this really only three and a half stars?]

[This looks closer to five stars!]

[Are female ghosts in a berserk state always this terrifying?]

[Oh my god, I feel like if I get within five steps of her, my skin will be burned to a crisp, right?]

[So hot, so hot.]

[What should we do?]

[Why do I feel like even the Big Boss can't handle this? Look at his expression; he looks like he has a massive headache.]

Wen Nan did indeed have a massive headache.

He sighed softly, "Sigh, it was just a missed message... is there really a need to get this angry?"

[???]

[Big Boss, are you sure this is just about a missed message?]

[Do you really think it's just simple anger? She's literally breathing fire!]

[No, the Big Boss is moving forward! He's going to make a move!]

[As expected of the Big Boss! He must have a way to handle the berserk version of Little Chili.]

[Waiting to see the Big Boss's move.]

With cautious probing, Wen Nan took two steps toward the flaming Little Chili.

Fortunately, it wasn't as scorching hot as he had imagined.

He raised his hands high, successfully capturing Little Chili's attention.

Stared down by those blood-red eyes, Wen Nan swallowed hard and spoke hesitantly:

"Little Chili, you... you have to let me explain."

[(⊙_◎)]

[That's it? That's it? That's it?]

[Is this the so-called move of the Big Boss?]

[Isn't he finished now?]

[Why do I feel like the Big Boss is going to crash and burn this time?]

[Hands together in prayer.]

[Folded hands]

It wasn't just the live stream comments; even Wen Nan himself felt that this move of his was terrible.

He regretted it the moment the words left his mouth, but it was already too late.

The instant his voice fell, the "Flame Demon" Little Chili let out a roar toward the sky, flames erupting from her body with a crackling sound.

The fire licked the nearby spectator stands, scorching the cold, hard stone platforms black.

Wen Nan squinted against the heat, feeling that things were becoming quite troublesome.

As expected, he wasn't very good at cheering up an angry girl. A pale, weak defense like "let me explain" would clearly only add fuel to the fire, right?

The system, which Wen Nan had summoned in his mind the moment Little Chili appeared, chimed in once again.

9527: [Do you require assistance?]

Wen Nan: [Yes.]

It would be best if it could give him a copy of "The Art of Conversation" to teach him what he should say in a situation like this.

However, the system opened the [Shop] for him and pulled up a single item—

[Safety Bubble: The contestant wearing this equipment can be immune to all attacks for 30 minutes. (Only applicable to four-star and below targets.)]

9527: [Would you like to purchase this with gold coins now?]

Wen Nan: ...

The girl was angry, and it wanted him to ignore her and hide inside a [Safety Bubble] like a coward? Wouldn't that just make their relationship even worse?

Wen Nan: [Forget it.]

He would rather solve the problem in his own way.

The flames in front of him were still burning fiercely, so Wen Nan took a deep breath and charged straight into the sea of fire.

Placing his hands on either side of the girl's head, which was currently emitting flames, Wen Nan trapped her in the corner with a textbook wall-pin.

Little Chili, in her berserk state, hadn't expected him to pull such a move and stood there completely stunned: ?

After a brief moment of shock, Little Chili opened her abyss-like maw, attempting to breathe fire, but the next moment, she was silenced as he pressed his lips firmly against hers, blocking her breath and extinguishing the flames.

Little Chili hummed in dissatisfaction in her throat and raised her hands to lightly pound on Wen Nan's shoulders in protest, but the violent aura surrounding her quickly vanished, and she returned to the appearance of a normal girl.

Wen Nan chuckled inwardly.

Sure enough, even the best explanation was superfluous; nothing was as effective as a kiss.

However, before he could even catch his breath, he was met with a new crisis—

Just as he was kissing Little Chili while pinning her to the corner, he caught a glimpse of another figure approaching from the corner of his eye.

It was his fourth target.

And the violent aura surrounding that woman was not a bit weaker than Little Chili's.

Wen Nan: ...

What was he supposed to do now? He couldn't possibly use the same trick for everything, could he?

Besides, even if he wanted to use the same trick on everyone, he didn't have any extra mouths to use right now...
