Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?
Chapter 148 - 145: Three People?

In hindsight, Yu Shujun felt her reaction was utterly foolish.

Why close her eyes? Why was she reacting like a helpless lamb encountering ferocious animals, becoming completely stiff?

But in the heat of the moment, Yu Shujun didn't have the luxury to ponder over this question.

Everything happened too abruptly.

With no prior experience, all of Yu Shujun's actions were instinctual.

Just like before, when choosing to switch Jun Wuming's account, returning to this map again, anything related to that man always made Yu Shujun act strangely.

This oddness was ingrained, beyond Yu Shujun's control.

Her long, curled eyelashes trembled slightly, resembling delicate butterfly wings in the night.

A single second stretched endlessly, becoming unbearable.

The anticipated touch still hadn't arrived.

Fingers that had been gripping her chin released…

Replaced by a strange sensation on her cheekbone.

Yu Shujun opened her eyes, staring blankly at the man in front of her.

His handsome face was magnified in her view, enough that with a tilt of her head, Yu Shujun's nose would touch his cheek.

Holding her breath, Yu Shujun stayed still, allowing his fingers to caress her cheek.

Wen Nan's fingertips finally pressed gently against Yu Shujun's cheekbone, then he pushed away, "There, that looks better."

Yu Shujun frowned slightly, raised her hand to feel her cheekbone, finding a small adhesive bandage there.

"…What is this?"

"I bought it on the way back from the pharmacy; it fits well," Wen Nan said, glancing at Yu Shujun's face with a proud smirk, casually adding, "Don't get hurt again."

"You…" Yu Shujun felt mixed emotions, "You were just… doing this?"

Was so much buildup necessary just to apply this kind of thing, creating such a strange atmosphere?

"Of course not," Wen Nan admitted frankly, "That was a rehearsal."

"…Rehearsal?!"

"Yes, a dress rehearsal before a date."

Initially, Wen Nan didn't intend to experiment with Yu Shujun, considering the differences between genders and that their preferences likely differed from Guan Ailin's.

But with only the two of them around, and Qiqi offering no reference value, Wen Nan had no choice but to turn to Yu Shujun in desperation.

Actually, if you think about it, if even a male could be moved by Wen Nan, then the same approach would surely yield twice the results on a CEO, right?

Thinking of this, Wen Nan bent over, leaned closer to Yu Shujun, smiling, "So, was there a moment when your heart was moved just now?"

Saying this, he lifted a finger, poking Yu Shujun's chest.

It felt soft and substantial.

The sensation was so real that Wen Nan instinctively retracted his finger.

Yu Shujun's face darkened instantly, "You…"

Her chest heaved violently, suppressing the surging emotions in her heart. Yu Shujun's face turned even darker, her voice colder:

"No, your acting is clumsy and weak."

Wen Nan squinted his eyes, "Such a low rating? That can't be right…"

He gently rubbed his chin, pondering for a moment, then quickly regained his composure, leaning toward Yu Shujun again, "Shall we try again?"

By now, Yu Shujun's face was darker than the night outside. Seeing Wen Nan approach, she swung her sword scabbard horizontally, blocking him out and sidestepping past him, leaving the balcony without looking back, throwing back a line: "I'm not interested in acting with you."

Wen Nan, using force, was pushed back a half-step, leaning against the railing. He watched Yu Shujun's swiftly retreating figure, a bit dumbfounded.

"What's going on? Why is she so angry all of a sudden? Has she been eating too salty lately, causing internal heat?"

...

...

The next day, as Wen Nan was preparing his outfit for a date with Guan Ailin, Qiqi, like a diligent little secretary, held up a small calendar to him,

"Bro, you have a meeting with Wang Jialing at 3 PM today at the fast-food place downstairs, don't forget."

Wen Nan, tidying his stylishly spiky bangs, muttered in complaint, "Chief Qi, isn't our schedule a bit too packed?"

"Queen Qi!" Qiqi first corrected him indignantly, then replied earnestly, "Don't worry, bro, everything's been arranged for you. This time, you just need to show up; you'll pass with flying colors, no need to contribute to the public good."

Wen Nan: ʕ.•᷅ࡇ•᷄.ʔ

Is this about public good?

...

...

Twenty minutes later, Wen Nan walked into the fast-food restaurant downstairs, immediately spotting Wang Jialing sitting by the wall.

On the small square table, only an arm's length wide, it wasn't fast food that covered the surface but… stacks of test papers!

A weekend afternoon, inviting him to the fast-food place to do test papers together?

Wen Nan walked to the table and sat beside her.

Wang Jialing looked up from the stack of test papers, smiling brightly at Wen Nan, "Uncle Nine!"

Wen Nan glanced at the nearly empty soda can with just ice cubes left at the table corner, asking, "What do you want to eat? I'll order."

Wang Jialing's eyes curved into slits with her smile, "Anything. As long as Uncle Nine orders it, I love it."

Wen Nan raised a hand, ruffling her hair before heading to the self-service order kiosk.

Five minutes later, he returned with a combo of burgers and wings and a kids' meal. He lifted his arm and presented a fluffy yellow chick plushie, a gift from the meal, to Wang Jialing.

Wang Jialing immediately set down her pen, her face lighting up as she embraced the plush toy with both hands, "Thank you, Uncle Nine!"

9527: [Congratulations, target 'the girl next door you watched grow up,' current strategy degree increased to: 99%.]

9527: [Congratulations, player, you've achieved a perfect strategy with this character. In future tasks, you may choose to skip storylines and interactions involving this character without affecting the character's strategy degree or mission completion. Please take note.]

…So quickly?

A mere plush toy secured the fourth perfect strategy with such ease.

Wen Nan couldn't help lifting his hand again to gently ruffle Wang Jialing's soft hair, feeling a bit emotional about how easy-going she was.

Wang Jialing turned her head, fed a fry dipped in ketchup from end to end to Wen Nan, smiling as she said, "Sister Qiqi was right, Uncle Nine, I've realized that liking someone doesn't mean you have to be together. Accompaniment is the longest confession, being with me is enough."

Wen Nan paused slightly at her words, startled.

Her words served as a reminder—

Perhaps he should take Qiqi along on his date with Guan Ailin?
