The next day, Su Mu and Ling Wei both slept until quite late before waking up. However, because Ling Wei had been drugged, she slept even longer. Once Su Mu woke up, she spent the whole time staring at Ling Wei. Ling Wei’s long eyelashes trembled slightly with her breathing, and her lips were parted slightly, carrying a sort of stirring temptation; no matter how she looked at her, she felt Ling Wei was exceptionally beautiful.
From the first time Su Mu met Ling Wei, she had felt a strange sense of familiarity. As they spent more time together, she noticed that when Ling Wei was angry, her hands would unconsciously clench; when she was happy, she liked to squint her eyes while eating ice cream, making people feel she was truly enjoying it; when doing practice problems, she was always unfocused, her eyes wandering around, and when she caught Su Mu staring at her, she would pretend to lower her head nonchalantly while actually still thinking about random things. Su Mu felt incredibly familiar with all of these details, as if she had lived with her before and knew everything about her.
Yet, Su Mu was certain she had never met Ling Wei. How could she forget such a beautiful girl? If they hadn’t met, where did this familiar feeling come from? Su Mu fell into deep thought while looking at Ling Wei’s face.
The moment Ling Wei opened her eyes, she saw Su Mu staring at her in a daze. Remembering that Su Mu had looked at her with that same trance-like expression last night, she blushed and gave Su Mu a push, quickly getting out of bed to hide her nervousness.
Ling Wei’s push brought Su Mu back to reality from her thoughts. She looked at Ling Wei and smiled tenderly, feeling that she was just worrying over nothing. As long as the person before her was still here, wasn’t that enough? Why think so much?
“System, how did the male lead spend his night?” Seeing Ling Wei enter the bathroom to wash up, Su Mu began a conversation with the system in her mind.
“Uh… the male lead was scared into wetting himself by the hallucinations last night. It looks like it’s quite serious.” Looking at Su Mu lying comfortably on the bed with squinted eyes, and then looking at the male lead next door lying naked on the bathroom floor with an unidentified yellow liquid beneath him, the system suddenly felt the male lead was truly pitiful in comparison….
Hearing the system’s words, Su Mu felt even better. Since today was the weekend, Su Mu wasn’t worried about being late for anything. She rolled over, buried her face in the pillow, and continued to laze in bed with peace of mind.
When Ling Wei came out and found Su Mu still lazing in bed, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes. She stepped forward and slapped Su Mu’s buttocks, then watched in surprise as Su Mu rolled over and fell straight onto the floor. Why did this pervert have such a big reaction?
“Ding… System favorability +3, currently 58.”
“!!!” This person definitely isn’t Weiwei! Su Mu expressed that she was scared right off the bed by that sudden slap. She looked at Ling Wei in a daze. How could a person who used to blush just from casual talk perform such a hooligan-like action towards me?
“Host, ‘one is dyed blue by indigo and yellow by cinnabar’…” The system gloated as it watched Su Mu’s bewildered expression.
“Are you al” Ling Wei was just about to ask Su Mu if she was okay when she saw Su Mu scramble up and rush into the bathroom.
Su Mu criticized herself while brushing her teeth. It was just a slap; why be shy? How was she supposed to do “shameful things” in the future like this? While her mind was full of messy thoughts, her hands didn’t slow down, and she finished up in five or six minutes.
Su Mu intended to explain the accident just now very calmly to Ling Wei, but the moment she came out, she saw Ling Wei taking off her bathrobe, preparing to change clothes. Because the curtains were drawn, the room was still dim, which made Ling Wei’s skin look even fairer. Ling Wei had a well-proportioned, slightly thin figure; the lines of her back were smooth, her butterfly bones were very beautiful, and followed down the spine….
Su Mu watched Ling Wei change clothes without even blinking, and even after Ling Wei turned around, she still hadn’t recovered from the visual feast just now.
Discovering that Su Mu had been staring at her while she changed, Ling Wei completely exploded. She directly threw a pillow at Su Mu’s face. Seeing that Su Mu caught the pillow but was still staring blankly at her, she really didn’t know what to say to this pervert…. She gave Su Mu a massive eye-roll, sat on the sofa, and turned on the TV, intending to ignore this pervert.
Realizing Ling Wei was embarrassed to the point of anger, Su Mu rubbed her nose. Finding no red liquid (nosebleed), she walked to the bedside and picked up some clothes. She guessed Ling Wei had called her bodyguards to bring these just now. However, looking at the size of the clothes, Su Mu’s gaze became strange…. How did Ling Wei know her size so clearly? Could it be…..
Sensing an ambiguous gaze, Ling Wei turned her head to look at Su Mu. One look at that expression and she knew this person must be thinking something lewd again. Seeing her holding the clothes, she spoke up: “The size was based on your height; I told the bodyguard to ask the shop clerk to match it. Don’t overthink it.”
“Hehe, how could I overthink? I’m very upright, right?” Seeing Ling Wei’s disbelieving eyes, Su Mu directly took off her bathrobe and changed clothes. Seeing Ling Wei hurriedly turn her head away, Su Mu smiled triumphantly. I knew you wouldn’t dare to look.
After changing, Su Mu sat down next to Ling Wei. After a moment of awkwardness, Su Mu and Ling Wei planned to return to Su Mu’s small apartment to review lessons and prepare for next week’s exams.
Why not go back to Ling Wei’s house? Su Mu expressed that she wasn’t ready to “meet the parents” yet….
While teaching Ling Wei, Su Mu invited her to eat Malatang. At this moment, the two of them were sitting at a Malatang stall with a relatively good environment. However, just as Su Mu beckoned the waiter, she found that time seemed to have frozen.
Ling Wei looked at the people around her with a face full of wonder, the customers sweating as they ate Malatang, the boss enthusiastically hosting guests, the waiter looking at her with a smile… What was going on?
“Host, something has happened! The male lead was excessively frightened last night and is now experiencing mental confusion; he is stuck in hallucinations and cannot pull himself out. Murong Yun is no longer suitable to be the male lead of this world, leading to an anomaly in the main world. To fill this vacancy, the World Power will arrange for someone else to be with the female lead. He will be replaced by the second male lead, Nangong Shan.”
“And so?” Seeing the system’s stupid look, Su Mu had an ominous premonition.
“So, Host, you will fast-forward to one year later. During the university period, the female lead will meet the replacement male lead and have a soul-stirring love story. I will place you in a suitable time period so you can re-capture the female lead.”
“Re-capture?” Su Mu heard this word and felt something wasn’t right….
“Not exactly. It’s just that during this period, you will be replaced by code… I just don’t know if the favorability will drop, that’s all.” (⊙o⊙)…
“I just want to ask… why can’t you just let me stay here for a year?” Su Mu absolutely believed the system wouldn’t give any sort of proper, serious reason.
“I forgot… No, no, no, I just felt that would be too much of a waste of your time.” Seeing Su Mu’s squinting eyes, the system suddenly remembered she had that same expression the day she messed with Murong Yun….
“Forget it, let’s jump.” Su Mu had a “just as I expected” look on her face….
#I knew I shouldn’t have held onto any hope for this stupid system.#
#It seems that Malatang is cursed; every time it’s mentioned, something happens.#
“Ding… To compensate the host, issuing compensation: [Painting Skills].”
“Ding… The task to tutor the female lead is successful by default. Reward: [One Ton of High-Quality Dog Food].”
Su Mu: “…..” She almost forgot about that “dog food” thing.
