How is she supposed to explain this?
Only Su Lian retorted, "How could that be? I clearly saw Jiang Cuo steal Su Qianqian's ring, why don't you believe me?"
However, Su Lian's voice was drowned out by the noisy commotion of her classmates.
"Take it with you, take it with you."
The students clapped rhythmically and chanted slogans, as if it were the official announcement scene of Su Qianqian and Jiang Cuo.
The couples they secretly shipped really became a thing of the past.
[Waste System: Congratulations, host! Your integration with this world has increased by 4%. Your current integration with this system's world is 20%. Please keep up the good work!]
The main system discovered that the host had increased his integration with the system world by 20% in just two days.
The host's positive attitude towards completing tasks will reward the host with close contact with the most beautiful person currently appearing in this book. The trigger time is uncertain, so please wait for your luck to arrive!
Su Qianqian: Huh??
She prefers mutual affection, not this kind of emotionally distant contact that happens randomly.
This isn't a surprise; it's clearly a shock. Let's hope it doesn't turn into a social disaster.
It's already lunchtime. Do these love-obsessed people really think that being in a relationship is more important than eating?
Su Qianqian frowned slightly. Jiang Cuo's dislike for her was already so high. If she continued to push her luck, it would only cause Jiang Cuo to feel disgusted.
She can't let these people keep stirring things up; otherwise, things will get tough for her from here on out.
"Alright, alright, everyone stop making a fuss. As you all know, it was just wishful thinking on my part; Jiang didn't agree."
This is a gift I secretly gave to Jiang Cuo. Please don't make Jiang Cuo feel awkward, okay?
get out of class is over, everyone go get lunch!
Su Qianqian spread her hands, looking like a peacemaker.
Completely different from her former arrogant and domineering young lady demeanor, she now wears a kind and approachable smile and is incredibly easygoing.
Some students were even stunned by what they saw.
Su Qianqian was originally the sweet type, but she used to have a terrible temper and her eyebrows were always furrowed, giving people a fierce feeling.
Now her whole demeanor is gentler, and her appearance has improved a lot. Some people who are obsessed with looks are practically drooling when they see Su Qianqian.
How come they only realized today that Su Qianqian is a true "rich, beautiful, and witty" woman? She's not only rich but also beautiful, witty, and humorous—a true goddess.
And she's such a persistent goddess.
A cute, funny, easy-going, rich and beautiful girl paired with a low-key, aloof, academically gifted goddess—their attributes have evolved, and they seem even more well-matched.
A goddess paired with another goddess—isn't this a perfect match?
As Su Qianqian said these words, she unconsciously looked away.
When this gaze fell into Jiang Cuo's eyes, it was clear that Su Qianqian was feeling guilty.
Jiang Cuo twitched his fingertips slightly, but offered no explanation.
The person sitting behind him immediately opened his phone, muttering to himself as he typed in his notes, "That timeline and stuff really underestimates the persistence of the rich and beautiful Su Qianqian in love."
In order to gain a place in Jiang Cuo's heart, Su Qianqian once went so far as to play the role of an arrogant and vicious person, just to attract Jiang Cuo's attention.
Because Su Qianqian knew that even hatred was better than indifference, and now she had achieved her goal.
In Jiang Cuo's eyes, only Su Qianqian was different. Now, Su Qianqian has changed her appearance and become gentle and lovely, persistent and responsive, domineering yet considerate. She slowly boils Jiang Cuo's heart in the water, and she keeps her relationship with him under the guise of friendship, without confirming his identity.
What else could this be but the ultimate unrequited love?
Even though everyone knows that Su Qianqian's crush has turned into an open one, in order to protect the love between goddesses, none of us can reveal it, so we just accept it as a secret crush.
Su Qianqian: ...
Su Qianqian felt she had never been so speechless in her life.
Su Lian, naturally, also heard her deskmate's love-obsessed remarks, and clenched her fists so tightly that her fingernails almost dug into her flesh.
She was unwilling to accept it.
Su Qianqian has committed countless evil deeds since childhood, so why is she able to clear her name and become a popular figure after transferring schools, all because of Jiang Cuo?
From childhood to adulthood, she has gone to great lengths to make Su Qianqian infamous and to isolate her from everyone.
After everyone finished enjoying the festivities, they all went to have lunch, leaving only Su Qianqian and Jiang Cuo in the classroom.
Jiang Cuo merely glanced at Su Qianqian with his cold gaze.
Then he placed the ring he was holding on Su Qianqian's table.
[Waste System: Congratulations, host, a random mini-task has been triggered. Please put the ring on Jiang Cuo's ring finger.]
After the host completes the task, a reward that accelerates the storyline will be issued to the host.
The accelerated plot reward increases the host's integration rate with the system's world, even allowing for significant leaps in progression.
Su Qianqian raised an eyebrow.
Such a big leap, could it be that you can jump directly from high school to university?
[Waste System: Please actively complete the tasks.]
Anyway, there's no harm in doing it, and everyone around is egging us on.
With her fingers covered in bandages, Su Qianqian awkwardly picked up the ring from Jiang Cuo's table.
Jiang Cuo saw all of this.
The surrounding classmates kept cheering, and Su Qianqian was already sweet and cute. If she bit her lower lip slightly and looked a little shy, it would be impossible for anyone to refuse her.
Su Qianqian quietly moved closer to Jiang Cuo, turned her head, and whispered in his ear, while secretly taking his hand.
"Jiang, as you know, Su Lian is deliberately causing trouble."
"If I don't put the ring on your finger, she won't get her way. My reputation is ruined anyway, but I can't let her frame you. The person I, Su Qianqian, have chosen will not be harmed by her."
Jiang Cuo's ears were tickled by Su Qianqian's extremely soft breathing.
But the surrounding noise seemed to have quieted down, and she could only hear Su Qianqian's explanation.
The person she has her eye on...
Jiang Cuo lowered his phoenix eyes slightly, his gaze casually sweeping over Su Qianqian's ten fingers wrapped in bandages.
She had applied heavy makeup to cover her eyes, and although she looked tired, she forced a smile.
However, it reveals its lightest side, which is simply that it is covered with glue, but all ten fingers are wrapped up tightly.
Was it so that she wouldn't worry?
After a long while, Su Qianqian still hadn't received a positive response from Jiang Cuo, and she felt increasingly apprehensive.
It wasn't until Jiang mistakenly raised his right hand and then extended his fingers in front of Su Qianqian that the situation changed.
After a moment of surprise, Su Qianqian clumsily slipped the ring onto Jiang Cuo's index finger.
Jiang Cuo kept her head down, and no one around her could see the expression on her face or understand her emotions.
It wasn't until the ring was on her finger that Jiang Cuo came to her senses. She didn't know why she had suddenly reached out her hand. She was still hesitating, but her body had already reacted, and she couldn't take it back now.
Su Qianqian is not stupid at all; she is clearly intelligent.
She did him a favor she couldn't refuse.
She's clearly so dedicated to her studies, yet she's so bad at them. Could it be that she's wasting all that effort on herself?
Never mind, consider it repaying a favor.
Jiang Cuo's heart stirred slightly.
The only time, and the last time.
A note from the author:
Jiang Cuo: I didn't expect Su Qianqian to be so dramatic.
Su Qianqian: Huh? Thank you to all the little angels who voted for me or watered my plants with nutrient solution between 2022-03-29 09:52:26 and 2022-03-31 11:59:30!
Thank you to the little angel who threw the landmine: 1 person became a top student;
Thank you to the little angels who watered the nutrient solution: Ju Jingyi's wife 10 bottles; Mige and Erzhi i 1 bottle;
Thank you so much for your support! I will continue to work hard!
Chapter Fifteen
[Useless System: Congratulations, host, on completing the mission. Accelerated storylines have been issued to you.]
Jiang remained silent throughout the process.
But Su Qianqian felt inexplicably guilty.
Seriously, what is she feeling guilty about?
The rumors spread by her classmates are all false; she walks and sits upright.
She didn't have any inappropriate thoughts, so why didn't she stand up straight and reason with Jiang Cuo?
[Waste System: Host, do you know where the hardest part of your body is?]
Su Qianqian rolled her eyes.
'There?'
[Waste System: Stubbornest in the face.]
Su Qianqian: ...
...
The once hot weather is slowly turning into autumn.
Su Qianqian sat in the classroom, idly glancing at the sky outside the window. This place was definitely in the south of the system world, and even though it was already October, it was still a bit muggy.
It seems that even in winter, there won't be any snow.
