"【Love Quest Issued】"
"【Please encourage and guide the future star, Zhou Ye, and support her in participating in the Art Examination.】"
"【Reason: Once she makes a name for herself and becomes famous, you will be the discoverer of this exceptional talent!】"
Yu Wenliang turned off his phone, and with a thought, found that he could also access the simulator panel in his mind.
This system was quite convenient.
But the current problem was...
Yu Wenliang looked at his deskmate beside him.
Zhou Ye was still facing away from him, her two slender pink shoulder straps fully visible in the sunlight.
She was still sulking at Yu Wenliang!
How should he break the ice with Zhou Ye???
'Are all girls sensitive? They turn red at a touch!'
'Zhou Ye is so beautiful, would she feel inferior over something as small as failing an exam?'
'So even handsome guys and beautiful girls like us have worries, huh? Looks like after future exams, I'll have to pretend to be a melancholic heartthrob.'
Yu Wenliang stroked his chin, replaying the results of the previous simulations in his mind.
Although he knew Zhou Ye was outwardly cold and sharp-tongued,
in reality, she was still a kind-hearted girl.
But when it came to how to break the ice with Zhou Ye, Yu Wenliang was still at a loss!
He couldn't just tell her directly:
"Zhou Ye!
I've got a future simulator!
In the future, you'll become a big star, a top-tier post-95 actress, an ice-cold heiress! You must believe me, quickly go take the Art Examination! Don't forget me when you take off..."
Yu Wenliang shook his head.
Doing that would definitely make him seem like a lunatic!
Zhou Ye might even think he was making up such a lie because he liked her!
If that got out, the next day, when all the students were eating in the cafeteria, the joke would be about how the school beauty had gained a simp named Yu Wenliang!
"Ruined Reputation"
It's so hard to get along with girls... Where's my simulator... Give me another chance to simulate!!!
Yu Wenliang racked his brain, and after a long time, managed to squeeze out one sentence: "Um, Zhou Ye, I'm sorry, I..."
Zhou Ye's ears twitched slightly, but she didn't turn to look at him, looking up at the teacher as if she hadn't heard anything.
Yu Wenliang braced himself and continued:
"Actually, before class, I happened to pass by the office, and I heard..."
"Heard what???"
Zhou Ye suddenly turned around, her ears bright red, and asked.
It was like a fresh scab, only showing red when half-torn, and she was both hurt and scared.
Would what Yu Wenliang said be about her most embarrassing moment in front of the teacher just now?
"No!"
"Nothing."
"What I mean is..."
Yu Wenliang was about to say that he had heard about Zhou Ye being rejected by the homeroom teacher, but his own attitude was to support Zhou Ye in pursuing her dreams by taking the Art Examination.
If he said that, maybe he could break the ice with Zhou Ye and complete the task?
But then.
The homeroom teacher threw a piece of chalk:
"Yu Wenliang, if you're not going to study, don't disturb others! If you keep talking, you'll sit next to the podium!"
Yu Wenliang's words were cut off halfway by the homeroom teacher, which was even more uncomfortable than a plane making an emergency landing halfway through takeoff!
He looked at Zhou Ye beside him again.
Her pursed lips trembled slightly, the corners of her eyes were red, and she was even angrier!
Vocal!
She definitely misunderstood me!
He only regretted that Zhou Ye was the school beauty, not that trash teammate who had trolled him in the promotion match and dared to trash talk him afterward.
Otherwise, his mouth could have spat out words like a machine gun, faster than Eminem!
Yu Wenliang was on the verge of tears, anxious: "I didn't mean that..."
"Stop talking!"
Zhou Ye bit her silver teeth and snapped, her slightly red eyes turning icy cold as she looked at Yu Wenliang with a frigid expression:
"What you heard."
"What you want to say."
"It has nothing to do with me!"
So fierce! Mommy...
When Yu Wenliang was stared down by Zhou Ye's cold face and condescending gaze, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
He didn't have that internet fetish of calling a mature woman "mommy" and wanting her to step on him.
He was genuinely scared enough to want to call for his mom.
The dismissal bell rang, signaling a retreat.
Zhou Ye withdrew her icy gaze and powerful aura, hastily packing her bag, seemingly eager to escape the classroom.
Yu Wenliang sighed, packed up, and prepared to go home to play games; he was a day student.
"You all, you all, you're not active in answering questions in class, but you're first to leave when school ends."
The homeroom teacher scolded them, feeling disappointed, but also didn't forget to remind them.
"Tomorrow is the parent-teacher conference, don't forget to tell your parents to come to school!"
"Ah~"
A chorus of groans filled the classroom as students clutched their heads, caught off guard by the sudden parent-teacher conference.
Yu Wenliang's gaze followed Zhou Ye's retreating figure out of the classroom; she didn't seem so strong after all?
More like...
Fleeing in disarray???
......
"【Time remaining until task deadline: 1 hour!】"
No, how does this system have a deadline? That's a bit of a trap!
Yu Wenliang had a sudden thought.
Could it be that the omniscient and omnipotent system was hinting at something?
If he didn't complete the task within an hour,
would he and Zhou Ye lose all contact in reality?
"Oh, this... that's a bit scary..."
Yu Wenliang analyzed.
There were two possibilities for Zhou Ye and him losing contact.
The first possibility was that she transferred classes.
Huicheng Middle School has a specialized media class in the art building, specifically for Art Examination students.
But in the simulation results, she only transferred classes a month later, and if he and she were still in the same school, he shouldn't fail the task, right?
A wife-chasing crematorium isn't out of the question!
The second possibility was:
A true, physical loss of contact...
"She wants to commit suicide?!"
Yu Wenliang shuddered at the thought; would such a beautiful school beauty have thoughts of suicide?
No matter how unreasonable it seemed.
But if there was even a one-in-ten-thousand chance it happened.
Afterward, when Zhou Ye's parents, teachers, and school leaders checked surveillance to trace the cause,
they would definitely see the scene where Yu Wenliang broke Zhou Ye down in just two or three sentences...
Oh no!
Did I do it?
Not only did I do it, but it was entirely my fault!
Yu Wenliang felt more wronged than Dou E; he clearly wanted to comfort her, but it led to this situation.
Did the system put all my EQ and eloquence into a dog's belly?
"She'll commit suicide within an hour? Could it be..."
Yu Wenliang suddenly looked up at the rooftop of the teaching building.
The next second.
He immediately rushed up the stairs like a Naruto run, accidentally bumping into something soft along the way, but continued to sprint towards the top floor's rooftop.
Even though a sharp female voice came from behind him, "Are you sick, running so fast?"
Yu Wenliang ignored it; he was busy saving someone, get out of the way!
"The door is open???"
Yu Wenliang arrived at the top floor; the iron door leading to the rooftop was usually closed, and rarely did idle students come here.
But he had been here before...
Yu Wenliang knew that this iron door, though locked with a chain, could actually be pushed open to a certain angle, just enough for someone thin to squeeze through.
And at this moment.
The iron door was pushed open, creating a small gap, but it was enough for the ordinary Zhou Ye to pass through.
Don't jump, Zhou Ye!
I just turned adult.
If you die, I'll have to take full responsibility, right?
Yu Wenliang didn't care about anything else, he squeezed sideways to widen the gap as much as possible, barely managing to get through.
The ground on the school rooftop was mottled, the walls covered in moss, and it was vast and open.
Yu Wenliang saw the pink backpack lying in the center of the rooftop.
Isn't that the color of Zhou Ye's camisole? Her favorite color...
Oh no!
It really is her!
Yu Wenliang ran out the door and saw the girl leaning against the edge of the rooftop.
She was holding a white Mimmi, feeding it cat food while sobbing.
"Mimmi, I'm really sad today, boo hoo hoo~"
"I clearly studied so hard, but during the exam, I still got so nervous that I broke out in a cold sweat, my mind went blank, and I almost fainted~"
"I only scored four hundred points, and I was second to last, and even my deskmate, who was last, mocked me!"
"Hmph! The pot calling the kettle black! He's even worse than me! It's infuriating! Ahhh..."
"Mimmi, in this world, you're the only one who won't dislike me for being a clumsy girl, right?"
Yu Wenliang was like Tom from Tom and Jerry, running out and then immediately shrinking back.
Seeing this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief, not bothering to figure out what Zhou Ye was mumbling about.
"It's good that she's not dead."
"It's good that she's not dead..."
"Hmm? Did she just... talk trash about me behind my back?"
