"Um, Hello, School Belle Shen!" Ling Yi looked at Shen Xinran with feigned confusion.
" Ling Yi, don't get angry over this kind of woman, it's not worth it at all," Shen Xinran said softly.
{System, 1 point of Affection. Let this woman taste the sweetness first.}
Ling Yi said to the system in his mind.
Of course, this system is not the Son of Light System, but Ling Yi's own system.
[learn!]
The next moment, a "bullet screen" popped up in front of Shen Xinran's eyes!
[ Ling Yi's Affection towards you +1, current mission progress 1/10, please keep up the good work, host.]
Upon seeing this notification, Shen Xinran breathed a sigh of relief.
I knew it! With the School Belle from Beiye University offering comfort, what man could resist?
Maybe we can finish the task today.
Shen Xinran was already looking forward to the reward after completing the mission.
What she didn't know was that not only could she see these comments, but Ling Yi could see them too.
"Thanks!"
"Don't mention it, I also can't stand people like Lin Shanshan and Qin Yuhao!"
After a pause, Shen Xinran continued, "Are you planning to go out for dinner?"
"Yeah, I finally got that 100,000 yuan back. I'm planning to go out for a nice meal. Shen, the School Belle, wanna come along?"
Shen Xinran naturally didn't want to go out to eat with Ling Yi.
She's the School Belle, she has tons of fans!
If someone takes a picture and posts it on a forum, it will cause a lot of trouble.
Just as Shen Xinran hesitated, Ling Yi lowered his voice and said, "I'm sorry, School Belle Shen, I was being presumptuous!"
With that, Ling Yi walked past Shen Xinran and went forward.
[ Ling Yi's Affection for you has decreased by 2, current mission progress -1/10!]
Shen Xinran's face immediately darkened.
Why did my Affection drop? It dropped by 2 points, all because I hesitated?
This sycophant is so stingy!
Suppressing her anger, Shen Xinran turned around and followed Ling Yi, forcing a gentle smile, "Junior Brother Ling Yi, I didn't say I wouldn't agree!"
"I didn't eat breakfast, and I'm starving now, so I'll just mooch a meal off this junior."
Shen Xinran is a junior, Ling Yi is a sophomore, so calling Ling Yi" junior" makes sense.
[ Ling Yi's Affection towards you +3, current mission progress 1/10!]
That increases Affection by 3 points?
Could it be that Ling Yi has feelings for me?
He was Lin Shanshan's simp, and they just broke up!
Hmph, this man doesn't seem to be as devoted to one woman as the Legend say.
But, what can I say when the School Belle is so pretty? It's understandable!
However, for some reason, Shen Xinran felt that Ling Yi's gaze Taiyi from how other boys looked at her.
There wasn't that annoying feeling about it.
Moreover, I always felt that there was something wrong with Ling Yi.
"I wonder what the School Belle, Shen, would like to eat?" Ling Yi asked cautiously.
"Don't call me the campus belle of Shenzhen School Belle. Just call me by my name, or call me senior sister, it's fine with me," Shen Xinran said with a smile.
"I don't have any dietary restrictions. Besides, I'm just here to freeload, so it's up to you, junior, to decide."
[ Ling Yi's Affection for you +2, current mission progress 3/10!]
That's 3 points, very good, keep it up!
Try to complete the task as soon as possible, collect the reward, and then leave this guy in front of me.
I shouldn't have gone to see any excitement today.
Otherwise, why would the system issue such a task?
Shen Xinran is an extremely superficial person who prioritizes looks.
Ling Yi was not short, but he was very thin and looked sickly.
They've all become so thin they're unrecognizable; naturally, they don't look good at all.
For someone who is obsessed with looks, being ugly is a sin.
"So, Senior Shen, how about a whole fish feast?"
A whole fish feast?
"When I was delivering takeout, I discovered a restaurant that specializes in whole fish banquets."
"The ingredients are clean and hygienic, and the quality of the ingredients is quite high. Most importantly, the taste is absolutely amazing. I've wanted to eat here for a long time, but unfortunately, I couldn't afford it before."
"You're not talking about Surrounding Fish Restaurant, are you?" Shen Xinran was taken aback.
Surrounding Fish Restaurant is very expensive.
The average spending per person is over three thousand.
The whole fish feast is the signature dish of Surrounding Fish Restaurant.
Shen Xinran had eaten there quite a few times, and the food was indeed delicious.
"It's the Surrounding Fish Restaurant." Ling Yi nodded.
In the original owner's memory, the memory of Surrounding Fish Restaurant was extremely vivid.
Having a whole fish feast at Surrounding Fish Restaurant had been an Obsession of the original owner for the past two years.
Ling Yi really wanted to try the place that the original owner was so Obsession.
At that moment, Ling Yi reached out and flagged down a taxi.
Shen Xinran owns a car, but Shen Xinran doesn't want to drive it.
She never let any boy ride in her car.
In Shen Xinran's opinion, Ling Yi naturally had no right to ride in her car.
Surrounding Fish Restaurant is not far from the school.
We arrived at our destination in less than ten minutes.
Led by the waiter, the two arrived at private room number 09.
After ordering and paying, the waiter gave Shen Xinran and Ling Yi a strange look before taking the menu and leaving.
Surrounding Fish Restaurant operates on a prepayment model.
Because the fish here are all freshly killed and prepared, if diners cancel their orders, it will result in a significant loss.
A top-tier whole fish feast costs 18,800.
"A top-tier whole fish feast, junior, you're really generous." Shen Xinran was a little surprised.
The whole fish feast here is divided into three levels.
A standard whole fish banquet costs 3,880 yuan, a standard whole fish banquet costs 6,880 yuan, and a top-tier whole fish banquet costs 18,800 yuan!
Even Shen Xinran rarely eats such an expensive meal.
"I just feel so stupid back then!" Ling Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Shen Xinran wholeheartedly agreed. To fawn over a gold digger for five years—wasn't that just plain stupid?
But that's definitely not the right way to put it.
She came to Ling Yi Ling Yi, not to provoke him.
"Deepest affection always hurts the most, junior. This isn't your fault; the fault lies with Lin Shanshan."
[ Ling Yi's Affection for you +3, current mission progress 6/10!]
"Look at the mess I make," Ling Yi shook his head.
"I'm an orphan myself. To pay for my and Lin Shanshan's tuition, I spent almost all my free time working to earn money."
I sleep less than four hours a day.
"I can't even eat meat and vegetables a few times a year, and I've worn myself down to this state that's neither human nor ghost."
Shen Xinran was speechless for a moment.
She didn't even know how to comfort her.
If we're talking about being pitiful, Ling Yi is certainly pitiful, but if we're talking about being stupid, he's truly stupid.
"I knew about Lin Shanshan and Qin Yuhao were together two weeks ago. I saw them hugging and laughing as they came out of the hotel."
"Senior, do you know how I felt back then?"
"You want to kill them?" Shen Xinran asked.
[ Ling Yi's Affection for you +3, current mission progress 9/10!]
Ling Yi was taken aback.
{System, what are you doing? Why are you giving me so much Affection all at once?}
[Host, don't you think it would be more interesting to Affection rating at this point?]
Is it more interesting?
Ling Yi glanced at Shen Xinran's barely concealed excitement.
It does seem more interesting.
"I thought I would be furious, or want to kill them, but I wasn't."
"How so?" Shen Xinran asked, now curious.
"At that time, I felt more relaxed and calm than ever before, without even the slightest bit of anger."
Ling Yi chuckled lightly, "So, I knew what Lin Shanshan was all along, but I just refused to admit it and was deceiving myself."
"Unrequited love can become Obsession, but five years of torment and suffering have long since worn away any remaining love I had for Lin Shanshan."
