“System, are you there?”
Wang Yifan called out into the empty room.
[Host, there is no need to speak aloud. You only need to communicate with this system through your thoughts.]
‘I see.
So, System, what exactly can you do?’
[Host, this system has only one function: by watching videos, you can obtain rewards. Each week, you can randomly receive rewards from the first three videos you watch, helping you fulfill your dreams and reach the pinnacle of the world!]
‘That’s it?
You don’t have any other functions?’
[Host, you’re not very handsome, yet you sure dream big!]
“Hey! Why is a system insulting me?”
[This system doesn’t talk to idiots.]
Wang Yifan hadn’t expected the system to be so human-like, almost as if it had a real personality.
Could it have a human form like Silly Girl from Magic Cell Phone?
Or even better, what if one of his future video rewards was actually Silly Girl herself?
Wouldn’t that let him travel through time and space to collect even more rewards?
The thought alone made him incredibly excited.
Still, it probably wouldn’t be that easy.
After all, the rewards were random.
Getting exactly what he wanted would be difficult.
There were simply too many rewards he hoped to obtain: the Armor Hero transformation belt, Ultraman Tiga’s Spark Lens, Silly Girl…
None of them would be easy to get, but at least the possibility existed.
After chatting with the system for a while, Wang Yifan stopped.
He tucked both hands under the blanket and stared blankly at the ceiling, his mind replaying everything that had happened yesterday—the moment he obtained the system and the rewards he had received from watching videos.
Winter in the countryside was freezing.
Without air conditioning, the moment you climbed into bed, an icy chill would seep through the blankets.
Yet today, Wang Yifan didn’t feel cold at all.
Instead, he felt strangely warm, as if someone had already warmed the bed for him.
“I never thought I’d have a lucky day like this. I can’t wait to meet Lusi. She must be beautiful… even more beautiful than she looks in the videos.”
He had already begun imagining the wonderful life they would have together.
He even forgot that he was technically dating two women at the same time—both of them famous celebrities.
If that ever became public, the media and public opinion would explode.
Lost in his fantasies, he stayed awake until four in the morning before finally drifting off to sleep.
At six o’clock the next morning…
Ring…
Ring…
Ring…
The phone on the bedside table kept ringing.
Half asleep, Wang Yifan grabbed it, assuming it was an alarm clock.
Without even opening his eyes, he instinctively pressed the red button to reject the call.
Then he tossed the phone aside and immediately fell back asleep. Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
A few minutes later…
Ring…
Ring…
Ring…
The phone rang again.
This time, Wang Yifan was jolted awake.
Something felt wrong.
He had never set an alarm in his life—he wasn’t the type to wake up early.
So why was his phone ringing?
He quickly picked it up.
The moment he looked at the screen, he froze.
It was a video call.
And the caller…
…was none other than Liu Yifei.
If that was the case, then the previous call must have been from Zhao Lusi.
His mind buzzed.
He still wasn’t used to his new identity.
For a moment, he simply stared blankly.
Only after collecting himself did he hurriedly press the answer button.
As soon as the call connected, an incomparably beautiful figure appeared on the screen.
She looked like a fairy descended from heaven.
Elegant.
Graceful.
Stunningly beautiful.
She wore a silk nightgown that perfectly accentuated her gorgeous figure.
Everything about her seemed like a masterpiece crafted by nature itself—
—or perhaps the graduation project of the goddess Nüwa.
She was flawless.
When Wang Yifan saw the face he had previously only admired on television, short-video apps, and entertainment headlines, every trace of sleep instantly vanished.
At that moment, he was no different from an ordinary fan meeting his idol for the first time.
He was so excited that he couldn’t say a word.
Although Liu Yifei was technically his girlfriend, they had never actually met before.
It felt less like a romance and more like an arranged marriage.
Only after the fairy-like beauty on the screen spoke did he finally snap out of his daze.
“Yifan, you’re still asleep?”
Her voice was soft and gentle.
Hearing it made him lose his composure all over again.
It was like a warm breeze brushing across his heart—comforting, soothing, and incredibly pleasant.
“Y-Yifei…”
His voice trembled with excitement.
Seeing his reaction, Liu Yifei burst into laughter.
“Well… Yifei, anyone would get excited seeing you.”
“Really? But you’re not just anyone. You’re my boyfriend.”
“Even so… You’re so beautiful. Of course I’d be excited.”
“Hehe… You’re so adorable.”
“So, Yifei, you’re up pretty early.”
“Mhm. I’m going to have dinner with my mom and my godfather today. Xiaofan, I’m going to be busy for a while, so I won’t be able to visit you anytime soon. Once I’m free, I’ll come see you.”
“Okay. Just make sure you get plenty of rest and don’t work yourself too hard.”
“Oh? My Xiaofan is worried about me now?”
…
The two of them chatted over video for half an hour.
Throughout the entire call, Liu Yifei kept teasing him, leaving Wang Yifan both flustered and restless.
There wasn’t much he could do.
She was busy these days, so all she could manage were evening phone calls and occasional video chats.
She simply didn’t have time to visit him.
Wang Yifan wasn’t in a hurry.
After all, Zhao Lusi lived much closer.
She might have time to come.
If even Zhao Lusi couldn’t make it, he’d have to wait until next week’s video rewards.
There were still six days until the next reward.
If Zhao Lusi couldn’t come, he’d have no choice but to explain the situation to his parents first.
“I’ll video call Lusi and see if she’s free.”
He muttered to himself.
To be honest, he was still nervous.
Just like before, although Zhao Lusi was technically his girlfriend, their relationship felt more like an arranged marriage—
No. A marriage arranged by the system.
Fortunately, after talking to Liu Yifei, he wasn’t quite as anxious anymore.
After all, she was his girlfriend.
If he couldn’t even make a video call, what kind of boyfriend would he be?
He opened Zhao Lusi’s WeChat.
Sure enough, he saw the missed video call she had made earlier—the one he had accidentally rejected while half asleep.
Taking a deep breath, he nervously called her back.
As the ringtone echoed, his heart began pounding.
Countless thoughts raced through his mind.
He imagined Zhao Lusi’s beautiful face.
He wondered if she’d be angry that he hadn’t answered her call.
Just as his anxiety reached its peak…
The video call connected.
