Chapter 790: Chapter 790: Life is hard, the System sighs

Quan Jinbei’s purpose in speaking those words to Shi Yaoguang was just to seize the opportunity to gain some advantage, so naturally he would not cause any conflict with Shi Yaoguang.

Their marital affection, sticky as glue and inseparable, was enough to make Fan Yanshu green with envy.

Whenever he thought about the possibility of not completing his task, he would become so anxious that he couldn’t sleep at night.

The more he couldn’t sleep, the more anxious he became.

The more anxious he was, the worse his rest...

In short, it was an endless cycle.

This made him extremely nervous.

A sense of urgency suddenly surged within him.

About a week after his last meeting with Shi Yaoguang, he could no longer bear it and took the initiative to contact the System.

"System, can you help me put the prop on Shi Yaoguang?"

System: "Sorry, Host, you need to do this yourself."

Fan Yanshu felt a touch of irritation, "If you can’t even do this, what use are you to me?"

System: "Does the Host wish to unbind from the System?"

Fan Yanshu: "..."

No matter how dissatisfied he was inside, he still had to swallow his pride.

He immediately explained, "That’s not what I meant."

The System hummed, "You’d better not mean that, otherwise..."

Fan Yanshu didn’t want to continue arguing with the System and directly blocked it.

All he wanted to know now was how to approach Shi Yaoguang.

After that time, Shi Yaoguang simply stopped seeing him.

Whenever he tried to approach her, all he got was a message relayed by someone else: "Sorry, we’re not suitable."

When he asked where they were unsuitable?

"Sorry, we are more suited to be sisters."

If it had just been Shi Yaoguang saying this to his face, he might have been able to handle his anger.

But unfortunately...

Shi Yaoguang had someone relay the message.

And each time, the messenger was a different person.

Now, in the eyes of a large portion of people, he had become the synonym for "sister."

Thinking about this, Fan Yanshu felt a surge of anger well up inside him.

To be honest, the System also sympathized with him.

But sympathy was just that, and the System wouldn’t be providing any help.

Not that it didn’t want to, but because it couldn’t.

If the System could do it, there wouldn’t be such trouble in finding a Host to strategize.

After all...

If everything were done by the System, what would the Host be needed for?

To share in the spoils of victory?

Fan Yanshu, working hard to suppress the rage within, confirmed that he couldn’t rely on the System’s help and finally came up with a plan.

He decided to go for broke.

After all...

The deadline set by the System was drawing near.

If he didn’t manage to win over Shi Yaoguang within the given time, he would be facing nothing but death.

No, something even worse than death: to have his soul utterly destroyed.

Not wanting to face that end, he had to hasten to win over Shi Yaoguang.

Sincere affection wasn’t working, so he had to resort to more primal means.

With the prop he purchased from the System, making Shi Yaoguang fall for him head over heels was possible.

The only downside was...

He had spent too many points buying props from the System.

He internally condemned the System’s penny-pinching ways, but his greater resentment was still aimed at Shi Yaoguang.

If Shi Yaoguang had been easy to conquer, he wouldn’t have had to waste so many points.

In the end, it was all Shi Yaoguang’s fault!

With this thought, he became even more resolute in his plans to make Shi Yaoguang pay.

"Host, before fantasizing about your future, could you find a way to get close to your strategizing target first?"

Heard the System’s unamused voice, Fan Yanshu’s face darkened.

"System, can’t you just wish me some luck?"

System pondered, "It’s not that the System doesn’t wish the host well, it’s just that the host indeed hasn’t given any hints on how to strategy Shi Yaoguang."

If Fan Yanshu were a bit more helpful, the System wouldn’t have to worry so much.

Every time it thought about how useless its own host was, the System felt weary.

Ah, the road ahead is long and arduous.

Fan Yanshu, however, was unaware of the System’s internal complaints about him.

He felt the pinch and bought an item from the System, which of course he intended to make good use of.

With that in mind, he decided to go all out.

His face had already been made almost ridiculous by Shi Yaoguang’s affectations.

How much more embarrassed could he get?

But as long as he succeeded in his strategy,

then...

What awaited him was a bright and open future!

Thinking this, he suddenly felt much more at ease.

The System looked at its host, who had once again lost himself in his delusions, and felt weary.

If possible, of course, it also wished its host could stand on his own two feet.

Only then could it reap more benefits.

But what could it do if he just couldn’t stand up?

On top of that, he loved to daydream.

How hadn’t it noticed before that its host was a daydreamer?

Ah.

Life is hard.

System sighed.

After fantasizing about a glorious future, Fan Yanshu finally found an excellent opportunity.

While Quan Jinbei was away on a business trip, he managed to ask Shi Yaoguang out.

Truthfully, he was somewhat surprised that he could get Shi Yaoguang to come out.

After all, Shi Yaoguang had already clearly rejected him many times before.

This time, he came with a try-it-and-see attitude.

Even if Shi Yaoguang didn’t agree, he had other methods to achieve his goal.

But Shi Yaoguang’s direct acceptance was unexpected,

leaving him unsure whether to be happy or to feel repulsed that Shi Yaoguang was such a flirty woman.

Shi Yaoguang agreed to meet Fan Yanshu because she sensed his increasingly impatient attitude.

Guessing that his mood might have reached a certain threshold, if Shi Yaoguang didn’t meet him soon,

and let him taste some sweetness, to confirm that his strategy task was still viable, who knows if he might do something rash in his excitement?

Fan Yanshu had no idea why Shi Yaoguang had agreed to see him.

And he didn’t care.

As long as Shi Yaoguang came out, his plan could be completed.

Then...

He would be fearless, no matter how dissatisfied Shi Yaoguang was or how much she plotted.

With this in mind, he looked at Shi Yaoguang with a bit more fervor in his gaze.

Shi Yaoguang saw the look in Fan Yanshu’s eyes, frowned, and said with disdain, "Mr. Fan, what’s with that look?"

"How long has it been since you’ve seen someone as good-looking as me?"

Hearing this, Fan Yanshu was speechless again.

"Can’t you stop being so narcissistic?"

Shi Yaoguang didn’t think she was being narcissistic, "I’m just telling it like it is, if you think I’m wrong, feel free to argue with me."

"However..."

She showed a disgusted expression, "You’re so eager to ask me out, acting like a lovesick puppy. How high can your standards be, and yet you still end up having to chase after me?"

Fan Yanshu’s face color changed, "Chase after you? You think I want to do this willingly?"

His tone was tinged with an angry frustration, "If it weren’t for the System forcing me, do you think I would bother to please you?"

The existence of the System was blocked out.

Thus, the words Fan Yanshu spoke were heard by Shi Yaoguang in fits and starts.

Even though Shi Yaoguang knew what he was talking about, she deliberately put on a confused face, "What did you say?"
