Chapter 595: Chapter 595: The Most Efficient Way to Solve Problems

"Acheng."

When she arrived at the agreed spot, Ling Qingxue casually addressed Quan Sicheng.

Quan Sicheng interrupted her, "Let’s not be so familiar; I am not that close with you yet."

A layer of mist veiled Ling Qingxue’s eyes, and her voice took on a hint of despondency, "Acheng, do you dislike me that much?"

"No," Quan Sicheng said coldly.

Although he claimed he didn’t dislike her, Ling Qingxue couldn’t feel any warmth from him.

But that was enough.

As long as Quan Sicheng didn’t send her away, it meant there was still hope to win him over.

Moreover, she had discovered a secret about Quan Sicheng.

Or rather...

Quan Sicheng had someone supporting him.

Although the "Top Student Counterattack System" was bound to her, its main purpose seemed to be serving Quan Sicheng.

She had investigated and found out that Quan Sicheng was the illegitimate son of the old Quan master, who had kept him under the name of Quan Jinbei before, turning him from a bastard to an adopted grandson.

It was only after discovering his true identity that he was driven out of the house.

When Quan Jinbei, the head of the family, had sent him away, he had made a point.

He wasn’t to take anything that belonged to the Quan Family with him.

That is to say, Quan Sicheng should have been left with nothing but the knowledge he had acquired from the Quan Family over the years.

Yet, the System assured her that the wealth possessed by Quan Sicheng was second only to the century-old accumulation of the Quan Family.

This was clearly abnormal.

There was also the fact that the System wanted her to pursue Quan Sicheng.

It seemed to be for her own good, but from another perspective, wasn’t it just delivering a wife to Quan Sicheng?

It was precisely because she had noticed these things that Ling Qingxue was willing to completely let go of her pride and choose to listen to the System’s words to pursue Quan Sicheng.

If she could be forever bound to this man who obviously had a mysterious backing, her own status would naturally rise with the tide.

In some ways, Ling Qingxue truly got it.

Quan Sicheng had no idea about Ling Qingxue’s many thoughts.

He looked at Ling Qingxue’s aggrieved expression and narrowed his eyes, "Who exactly are you?"

Ling Qingxue covered her face, with an expression of annoyance, "I’m sorry, I forgot to introduce myself."

"It’s our second time meeting," Ling Qingxue said, extending her hand, "Hello, nice to meet you formally, my name is Ling Qingxue."

"Ling Qingxue?" Quan Sicheng frowned, as if he had heard the name somewhere.

Before he could recall where he had heard the name, he heard Ling Qingxue say, "Do I seem familiar to you?"

Quan Sicheng nodded.

Ling Qingxue immediately said, "I am the campus belle of Emperor University."

"Campus belle of Emperor University?"

Upon that reminder, Quan Sicheng indeed remembered.

However, he still didn’t understand, "If I remember correctly, we’ve never had any contact. Why were you at the hotel entrance that day?"

Ling Qingxue blushed like a girl in love, "That’s a long story, actually, I’m a fan of yours..."

"No, not exactly," she said, contradicting herself, "Actually, I mean to say, I’ve grown accustomed to you. Ever since I first saw you, I’ve been smitten."

Quan Sicheng scoffed, "Speaking of love at first sight, it’s just lust at first sight."

Ling Qingxue didn’t expect him to say that and was momentarily stunned, "No..."

"Hmm?"

"I really do like you as a person, even if you weren’t in this skin, I would still fall for you," she said earnestly and sincerely, and if Quan Sicheng hadn’t just experienced being stabbed in the back by Shi Yiqing, he might have believed her.

Now...

He didn’t believe it.

When did he first encounter Ling Qingxue?

Wasn’t it that day at the hotel?

Let’s think through the logic.

That day, it was Ling Qingxue who appeared first at the door of the hotel suite, interrupting the "good moment" between him and Shi Yiqing.

And she claimed she was his girlfriend.

If she appeared first and the encounter came after, how could Ling Qingxue fall in love at first sight?

Seeing the expression on his face, Ling Qingxue knew what he was thinking, and immediately said with a blushing face, "Our first encounter was not at the hotel."

She looked like a young girl in the throes of spring: "My friend likes a celebrity, who happens to be part of your group. At that time, you were recording a show, and the moment I saw you, it was as if something struck me..."

Quan Sicheng watched as her eyes sparkled while she recounted how she fell for him, but there wasn’t a single ripple in his heart.

The scene described by Ling Qingxue was correct.

Indeed, when he was filming a certain show, there was a celebrity that her friend liked very much.

However...

Any fan of that celebrity should know what that celebrity liked and disliked.

And just now, Ling Qingxue hit on a sore spot.

Such a situation would absolutely never occur with a fan.

This indicated that much of what she said was false.

Ling Qingxue didn’t realize that she had exposed herself.

What she said was all prompted by the System.

However...

The System wasn’t so detailed as to also find out the preferences of the celebrity she used as an excuse.

For such a tool-like existence, the System only provided the most basic background information.

Naturally, it missed out on those details.

Even though Quan Sicheng noticed something off about Ling Qingxue, he chose not to call her out on it.

Instead, he went along with it, actually wanting to see who was helping her conceal information from behind the scenes.

After exchanging pleasantries, Ling Qingxue finally got to the point.

"Acheng, everyone on the internet is guessing that you like men. Do you have a way to clear this up?"

Quan Sicheng feigned distress, "I’m not gay, but... the person who leaked the information is my former fiancée."

"Netizens might trust her more because of our previous relationship, and in this situation, I can’t produce any solid evidence to prove myself."

Ling Qingxue wasn’t surprised that he had no solution to this problem and immediately volunteered, "I actually have a way."

"What way?" Quan Sicheng asked.

Ling Qingxue bit her lip, looking troubled, "It’s just a bit..."

"Hmm?"

"It’s just that I don’t know if you’re willing to sacrifice your reputation as a single man."

By this point, his intention was very clear.

Ling Qingxue’s cheeks flushed as she looked at him, "This is the best solution I can think of, and it’s also the most effective way to solve the problem."

"Of course, if you already have someone you like, then pretend I never said anything."

"I... I just want to help you."

Quan Sicheng shook his head, "No."

"Ah?" Ling Qingxue’s eyes showed a hint of disappointment, as if she was grievously saddened by not being able to be with him.

Then, she heard Quan Sicheng say, "I currently don’t have someone I like, nor do I have a girlfriend or fiancée, so..."
