Chapter 9: Wang Dong'er: I wouldn't be so infatuated, would I!
“Classmate Wang Dong, allow me to correct you.”
“Our bet was whoever wins gets to be the big brother.”
“You didn't win that morning's match, at most it was a draw.”
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's smile became even more pronounced.
His teasing expression was a little punchable.
Wang Dong'er was stunned, subconsciously recalling the chest-assaulting scene, and her face instantly turned as red as an apple.
She let out a proud hmph, waved her hand, and didn't pester him further, walking straight towards the door.
“Hmph, so you're the smart one.”
“Let's go, let's go, we can talk after we eat.”
“Since you don't acknowledge the last match, we'll fight again when we have time; I'll make sure you're thoroughly convinced!”
At this moment, Wang Dong'er had her back to Huo Yuhao.
Her expression couldn't be seen, but it could be roughly guessed.
With that girl's unyielding personality, plus her displeasure after being “teased,” she would definitely seek revenge.
That's even better; Huo Yuhao hadn't forgotten that on the seventh day of the simulation, the two of them would have another match, and that would be another moment for their ambiguity to heat up.
“Alright, I'm ready anytime.”
“You're right, the most important thing now is to eat.”
“I used up all my living expenses to buy double portions of breakfast and lunch. Luckily, you're treating, otherwise I'd starve. I won't be polite!”
Saying that, Huo Yuhao immediately followed suit.
It seemed like teasing, but it was all true.
Wang Dong'er froze, remembering the introduction during their casual chat yesterday; this roommate had a tragic background and not much money at all.
Therefore, when she was upset, he still took the initiative to use his limited funds to help buy breakfast and lunch, which made the gesture even more significant. A strange feeling of gratitude welled up within her?
“Cough, don't worry.”
“As long as you acknowledge me as your big brother, all your meals will be covered from now on.”
Heaven knows why she was so persistent.
Perhaps she wanted to use this to cover up the awkwardness of being a girl?
But unfortunately, Huo Yuhao didn't “indulge” her. Just a word or two made the little girl break down again.
“I think, perhaps, we should be realistic. Wouldn't ‘big sister’ be more appropriate?”
“Ah, ah, ah, Huo Yuhao, you scoundrel! I told you not to bring that up again, or I'll really get angry!”
She was clearly frantic, and her expression was particularly annoyed.
But inexplicably, their relationship grew rapidly.
After all, they were just children of eleven or twelve, no matter how precocious, becoming friends was still quite simple.
Through the 【Flirting Master】 talent, Huo Yuhao secretly observed everything and was quite satisfied with the current progress.
Next, as long as there were no major surprises.
Following the normal course of development, he would definitely win her over in half a month.
With this in mind, he remained calm on the surface and went out with Wang Dong'er to have a big meal outside the academy.
No incidents occurred during this time. After filling their stomachs, they returned to the dormitory, and both began to cultivate, quietly awaiting the official start of school.
The only thing worth mentioning was that during the process, the little girl mistakenly thought that Huo Yuhao was deeply immersed in cultivation and unaware of the outside world.
From time to time, she would secretly open her eyes to look at him. The heroic spirit in his brows was gone, replaced by gentleness and curiosity. The more she looked, the more pleasing he became, the more she liked him?
“What is this? We only met yesterday.”
“Absolutely impossible! I wouldn't be so infatuated, would I!”
“But he really is special, yet I can't pinpoint why. What exactly is going on?”
At this moment, Wang Dong'er was a bit confused.
A young girl experiencing her first stirrings of love couldn't comprehend anything too complex.
She only knew that she felt an inexplicable fondness for this roommate and that being with him was very comfortable.
Especially after being “assaulted” today, she should have been angry, wishing to tear him to shreds.
But in reality, besides a brief moment of anger, she spent the rest of the time comforting herself, which was clearly abnormal!
The little girl was full of confusion, yet completely unaware that she had already fallen into someone's “trap.” Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, knew perfectly well.
At this moment, he wasn't in a deep cultivation state.
Instead, he was conducting system derivations and simulations through feigned sleep.
Naturally, he noticed these small actions and smiled knowingly, without a trace. It seemed that the current progress was even faster than he had anticipated.
In a sense, Wang Dong'er, who was new to society, seemed to have a tendency to self-conquer. The operations of 【Flirting Master】, coupled with the foundation of 【Maxed Charm】, were truly not to be underestimated!
“Tomorrow... school will officially start.”
“Three rules, and then ‘accidentally’ bumping into her while she's bathing?”
“These aren't really problems. There are similar plot points in the original work, so there's no need to worry about Tang San's attitude.”
“Compared to that, I'm more concerned about the afternoon's simulation. Using the 【Formation Master】 ability to forcibly break the God King's restriction, I might kiss her, but will it cause a chain reaction?”
Strictly speaking, kissing was just a superficial act.
If it were just that, Tang San would at most throw a tantrum.
Given Huo Yuhao's importance to the grand plan, there wouldn't be a strong backlash, as his daughter was essentially a tool for that guy.
The real trouble lay in “breaking the God King's restriction” itself, which might cause Tang San to re-evaluate his threat level, or even take action prematurely?
With this consideration, Huo Yuhao had to make a judgment: should he directly steal Wang Dong'er's first kiss, as in the afternoon simulation?
Or... should he choose a more subtle approach, such as temporarily delaying intimate actions, first solidifying their emotional foundation, and then proceeding with further intimacy?
“It's perfectly normal for couples to kiss after confirming their relationship.”
“But the problem is, that person is ‘Buddha’ Tang San. Heaven knows if he'll go crazy.”
“To be safe, I'll simulate it again. If the feedback is too exaggerated, I'll have to change my strategy. Otherwise, it doesn't matter.”
“System, change the new proposition: after kissing Wang Dong'er, how to avoid Tang San's targeting... well, assuming he will cause trouble.”
Thinking this, Huo Yuhao immediately began.
After confirming the proposition, he immediately entered the simulation phase.
Given the system's previous behavior, if Tang Gou had no reaction, then this proposition's rating would be very low, and no good talents would be generated.
Although it wasted an opportunity, it at least gave him peace of mind. Conversely, if the Asura Sea God made a move, the rating would be at least A-grade, and the difficulty alone would give a hint.
【Proposition confirmed, difficulty rating B】
【Talent refresh probability: Mythical 0%, Legendary 0%, Epic 1%, Rare 14%, Common 85%】
【Currently available talents: Feign Ignorance (Common), Gigolo (Common), Single-minded (Common)】
【Feign Ignorance: You are good at pretending to be confused while knowing full well. Your innocent and naive appearance further enhances this aspect. No one would ever suspect that you are the ‘scheming bitch’】
【Gigolo: As fierce as you are in bed, you are as cowardly out of it. Since you can't beat your father-in-law, why not hide behind your woman and let her bear the pressure?】
【Single-minded: You never think when you do things; you do whatever comes to mind without considering the consequences. Whether your straightforward attitude is good or bad depends on the specific situation. Consider it yourself.】
