The Tsundere's Reconciliation

As his words fell, the young girl abruptly lifted her head. Her face was flushed and tear-streaked. She glared at Su Cheng and spat out, "Get lost!”

Su Cheng was taken aback. The person before him was none other than Ailiya.

The same Ailiya who was as intelligent and as proud as Cornelia!

No, Cornelia was actually smarter than him now.

But the problem was...

Why did she have a confession marker on her head again?

Wasn't it agreed that she could only confess once a month?!

"It's you!"

She too recognized who was standing before her, her delicate face quickly contorting with anger.

"It's all your fault!"

Ailiya roared, "You're the bastard! If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be all alone... You're to blame!"

With that, she lunged forward, aiming to grab Su Cheng's collar.

"Are you going crazy again?"

Su Cheng reacted by raising a hand to hold her off, a look of disgust on his face.

"Ah! You bastard!"

Ailiya screamed, then started swinging her fists wildly in every direction, as if she wanted to pulverize Su Cheng.

But her arms were too short to reach him.

Then, with just a casual push from Su Cheng, she landed on her butt on the stairs.

"Not in this hair salon!!"

Su Cheng looked at her, emphasizing each word.

She was the type to be unreasonable when she was in the right and throw tantrums when she was in the wrong.

He despised those who liked to make a scene and act unreasonably.

He'd rather spend a day with Cornelia than a second with this fool.

The former, although also prideful, was at least somewhat cute, while the latter was just a tantrum-throwing, unreasonable fool that he didn't want to spend a moment with.

"So you dare to insult me! Not only did you come to show off, but you also dare to insult me!”

Ailiya stood up from the chair, "Today, I'm going to beat you up!"

Su Cheng frowned but decided not to argue with a madwoman and turned to leave.

"Stop right there! You came all the way here to humiliate me, and you think you can just walk away?! What do you take me for? You think you can do whatever you want just because you have the Archery Club backing you up?!”

Ailiya shouted after him.

Su Cheng stopped, turned around, and said, "I mistook you for someone else. If that caused you any trouble, then I apologize."

This was indeed his mistake; he didn't expect Ailiya to have a confession marker on her head again.

"The entire school knows that only I have hair this color, and you still won't admit that you came here specifically to insult me!"

Ailiya said indignantly.

Su Cheng: "......"

"Miss, I'd rather avoid you than insult you.”

Su Cheng helplessly asked, feeling a headache coming on.

Seeing that Su Cheng wouldn't admit it, Ailiya clenched her teeth and said, “You stole Cornelia from me!”

"Huh?"

Su Cheng was taken aback. Cornelia needed to be stolen?

Wasn't she the type who could be lured away with a bottle of 'Eight Nuclear Bombs'?

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

Su Cheng shook his head, preparing to walk away again, only to find Ailiya blocking his path again.

"What on earth do you want?!"

Su Cheng exhaled in frustration.

"Give me back my only friend, she's ignoring me now!!”

Ailiya's eyes were red-rimmed, her tone filled with misery. Her face showed her unwillingness, but more than that, she was aggrieved.

"………"

It was then that Su Cheng finally realized what was going on. So, Cornelia's IQ had increased by 0.1 and she didn't want to play with this 4.5 anymore!

When there's a difference in IQ, naturally they can't get along.

And now this 4.5 is blaming him??

"Fine, I'll call her over, you guys talk!"

With that, Su Cheng took out his phone, found Cornelia's chat interface, and directly dialed her.

"Wait!"

Ailiya, seeing this, tried to stop him, but before she could, Cornelia's distinctive proud voice came through the phone speaker: "Hello! What's up? I'm very busy now. If you're going to apologize, hurry up! Otherwise, don't blame me for hanging up!"

Su Cheng was once again rendered speechless. She was very busy, yet she answered immediately?

Apologize?

What was he supposed to apologize for?

Ailiya, on the other hand, suddenly fell silent, her gaze burning as she stared at the phone.

It was clear that she cherished Cornelia.

"Come to the 16th lawn, I'll wait for you here."

Su Cheng directly stated the location of the lawn.

However, Cornelia did not immediately respond after hearing this.

A few seconds later——

"Why should I go just because you told me to? I won't go, I refuse!"

Cornelia seemed very angry.

It appeared that Su Cheng's lack of apology had upset her greatly.

"Well, forget it then, I just happened to have an extra drink today. Looks like I'll have to throw it away. I'll just leave it on the lawn. I won't be running tonight either."

With that, Su Cheng hung up the call, then turned to Ailiya and said, "She'll be here in a bit. Whatever issues you guys have, resolve them yourselves. I don't want to get involved. And don't bother me anymore."

With that, he took out a bottle of drink from his school uniform pocket and tossed it to her before she could respond.

"What do you mean?"

Ailiya clumsily caught the drink, her expression shifting subtly, then she looked up at him and continued to question, "She said she won't come, stop lying to me!"

Su Cheng shook his head and replied, "She will come."

"Are you sure you're not tricking me?"

"That's her favorite drink in your hand. I don't know what happened between you two, but I think this should be enough to reconcile you."

"You must be joking, just because of this cheap drink?"

Ailiya looked skeptical, thinking that Su Cheng was just trying to fool her.

She had heard Cornelia clearly on the call. Cornelia herself had said she wouldn't come.

And ever since the last incident, Cornelia had been avoiding her, even refusing to answer her calls, completely ignoring her.

Could this drink really reconcile them?

"Fine, if she comes, how about we agree to live and let live?"

Seeing Ailiya's disbelief, Su Cheng directly proposed a deal.

"What if she doesn't come?"

Ailiya snorted coldly.

Upon hearing this, Su Cheng fell silent for a few seconds, then laughed lightly, "So, what do you want?"

He suddenly realized that this reward was unavoidable, after all, it was easy to guess such a 4.5 IQ psychological idea.

As expected, the condition she proposed was intended to humiliate him.

Indeed,

The next second, she spoke, "I want you to confess to me on your knees in front of your entire class!"

Ailiya felt this was the ultimate humiliation, she must make Su Cheng pay!!

"Do you really want me to confess to you?"

Su Cheng leaned in towards Ailiya, a wicked smile on his face, "Alright then, I'll confess to you now."

At this point, his expression became sincere, he slowly said, "I like you."

Ailiya was taken aback, clearly not expecting him to confess so directly.

"Of course, even if she doesn't come, I would still confess to you in front of the whole class."

Su Cheng smirked, "So, how are you going to handle my confession this time? Are you going to accept me?"

Ailiya's face turned completely dark.

This was pure humiliation and manipulation!!

"Do you think I would accept you? You should take a good look at yourself in the mirror, do you think you're good enough for me? Even if you kneel and become my dog, I would still think you're not obedient enough, do you think you're worthy of confessing to me?!"

Ailiya looked at him disdainfully, sarcastically retorting without mercy.

"Oh......"

Su Cheng shrugged, "Since you say I'm not good enough, then I'll leave, goodbye."

With that, he started to walk away, but Ailiya grabbed his arm to stop him.

Su Cheng frowned slightly, "Are you disgusted with me? You will never have my heart. This kind of forcefulness will never work. Let go of me now!"

"You're talking nonsense, who wants your heart? Have you no shame??!!"

Ailiya's face turned red with anger, luckily there was no one around, otherwise they would definitely think she was a shameless woman.

"Then why are you holding onto me?"

"You tricked Cornelia away from me, of course I have to get her back!"

Ailiya said angrily, and threw the drink in her hand at Su Cheng, but he caught her wrist.

His strength of 5 was not something her measly 3 could compete with.

Su Cheng fell silent for a moment, then looked around, suddenly pointing to a place, "Who's that over there?"

"......Who?"

Ailiya was startled and quickly followed his gaze, spotting a blonde girl with white and gold twin tails in the nearby bushes, her head bowed as she searched for something in the grass.

This girl was none other than Cornelia.

"She... she's here..."

Ailiya's pupils contracted sharply, she quickly let go of Su Cheng's wrist and took two steps back, standing still.

Su Cheng took this opportunity to run, disappearing in a flash.

"Is this the right lawn? Where's the drink?"

Cornelia kept searching the lawn, but she couldn't find the drink anywhere.

Just now, she was having her meal. Upon hearing about a beverage, she immediately put down her chopsticks and rushed over.

However, she was only gone for a few minutes, and it had already disappeared?

Now, she seemed to be addicted. If she didn't drink one bottle a day, she felt an unbearable itch in her brain.

And there was also an inexplicable impulse.

Although she had bought the same drink at home, for some reason, she felt that the one Su Cheng gave her was completely different from the one she bought herself.

Therefore, she thought that maybe he had drugged the drink.

Otherwise, why would she be so fond of his drink?

Seeing this, Ailiya stood in place, not knowing how to react, her heart pounding wildly.

Finally, as if she had thought of something, she lowered her head to look at the drink in her hand.

Only then did she realize that Cornelia really came looking for this cheap drink...

Thinking of this, she suddenly said, "We... Co... Cornelia."

Ailiya's voice was trembling, and her body was somewhat stiff.

She didn't expect Cornelia to really come for this drink.

This made her decide to buy this drink for Cornelia every day to maintain their relationship.

However, Cornelia seemed to not hear her calling, still searching for the drink on the lawn.

The next second, Cornelia suddenly looked up and saw Ailiya. After a glance, she activated her inherited tsundere skills, pretended not to see her, and continued to look for the drink.

"Cornelia, are... are you looking for this?"

Ailiya quickly held up the drink in her hand, her tone somewhat excited.

At this time, Cornelia had no choice but to look up at her hand. When she saw the drink in her hand, her face immediately changed.

"Did you pick this up?"

Cornelia stared at her, her tone devoid of any emotion.

"No..no...not at all...Su Cheng asked me to deliver it to you."

Ailiya quickly explained, she was really afraid that Cornelia would misunderstand.

"He saw that you were hiding and didn't have time to come, how could he possibly ask you to deliver the drink to me, don't try to fool me!"

Cornelia's tone was full of suspicion, and there was some anger on her face.

"It's not like that. I'm not fooling you, Su Cheng said giving you this thing will let us continue being good friends."

Ailiya was anxious for a moment, and didn't care about anything, she quickly confessed.

"Is that so..."

Cornelia lowered her head and thought for a while, seemingly contemplating Ailiya's words.

A moment later, she lifted her head, her eyes flashing with anger, her voice even contained a sob, she said directly: "I...I clearly told you last time, not to bother Su Cheng..."

"Why...why...you..."

As she spoke, her tears fell like rain, she looked at Ailiya with a disappointed look, and continued: "I was planning to go home with you tonight, but...but why did you have to go and bother him again!"

With Cornelia's words, her voice echoed throughout the empty lawn.

Ailiya, like being struck by lightning, stood frozen on the spot.

"I...I hate you, I'll never be friends with you again, Ailiya, I despise you!"

After Cornelia spoke, she covered her mouth and ran away, tears streaming down her face.

"Never be friends with me again...?"

She muttered to herself, feeling dizzy as her words echoed in her mind.

Her steps faltered, her body swaying.

But the next second, Cornelia ran back.

"Cornelia, you…"

Her face broke into a surprised smile.

She knew that Cornelia was just speaking out of anger, she must still care about her!

"You."

Before she could finish her sentence, Cornelia snatched the drink from her hand and quickly walked away.

"No...no, it was him who came to see me today!"

Ailiya was completely panicked at this moment, shouting and chasing after her.

But Cornelia ignored her, continuing to run away.

Seeing Cornelia about to run into the woods, Ailiya became even more frightened.

She shouted and ran after her like a madwoman, but she slipped and fell to the ground.

"Su Cheng! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

Seeing Cornelia disappear, she who had fallen to the ground kept hitting the ground, her face full of resentment, she had completely lost her friend this time!

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!! Su Cheng, you cunning trickster, damn you!"

She screamed hysterically, still hitting the ground, then she lay on the ground and began to cry.

Because of her low IQ, she even said idioms in a cute way when she was anxious.

This time, even if she was stupid, she understood.

Su Cheng came to see her today, purely to deliberately frame her!

The insidious Su Cheng!!

Why is he so cruel!

Ailiya cried for several minutes, her tears flowed like a half bucket, but she couldn't stop the pain in her heart.

"I will make you pay!"

Ailiya gritted her teeth and swore, her resentment soaring to the sky, at this moment a breath of wisdom surged to her brain.

On the other side

In the restroom

【Ding——】

【Confession Failed】

【Target: Ailiya·Dana】

【Intelligence: 4.6】

【Charm: 8】

【Physical Strength: 3】

【Status: Daughter of the CEO of a multinational media company】

……………………

【Danger Level: B】

"Wait, when I ran to the restroom just now it was 4.5, how did it suddenly increase by 0.1?"

Su Cheng, sitting on the toilet lid, frowned, his face full of confusion.

Could it be that Cornelia gave the 'eight nuclear bombs' to Ailiya to drink?

It seems they have made up.

Su Cheng nodded thoughtfully, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Since Cornelia has made up, the next thing will be much simpler.

This Ailiya will never bother him again.

After all, there was an agreement before.

He doesn't ask Ailiya to thank him, just that she doesn't bother him.

"So, why can she confess again?"

Su Cheng fell into a new confusion, but he had no time to delve into it.

After all, he got the rewards.

And it's likely that the system is messing with him again.

There was no danger in the previous dangers, was there?

Hoshino Mirai and Li Guanqi.

The danger involving these two has yet to surface.

"Oh right, this time it's an attribute reward!"

Su Cheng held his breath, starting to connect with the system.

【Congratulations to the host for completing a B-level danger, random reward point 1.】

【The host's attributes have changed.】
