Shen Yu, you wouldn't want others to know about your system, would you

Shen Yu was quite surprised. She never expected this guy to come looking for her!

“Jiang Che?”

“Oh? You know me?” Jiang Che raised an eyebrow.

“The former top student of Shilan School, with a highest score of 742. Of course, I know you,” Shen Yu spoke calmly.

Even though Jiang Che was standing very close to her, she remained composed.

The girl thought for a long time, as if she had figured something out, and then looked at Jiang Che with a calm gaze.

“So, is it because I took your first place that you had people target me?”

“You’re the only one with both the motive and the ability to do something like this.”

Jiang Che nodded, smiling as he looked at Shen Yu. This genius girl with protagonist-level luck was indeed different—her mind worked quickly.

“You’re right, it was me. What are you going to do about it?”

Shen Yu: “Then I won’t score so high next time.”

Shen Yu’s calm and composed demeanor made Jiang Che look like a troublemaker.

“No, no, no. I’m just curious. What kind of person can score a perfect 750? I’ve only seen that kind of plot in wish-fulfillment novels, where some underachiever gets a ‘Genius System,’ and just by completing system tasks, they effortlessly become a top student.”

Direct hit!

When the words “Genius System” came out of Jiang Che’s mouth, Shen Yu’s body trembled slightly. It was clear that her emotions were stirred.

[Genius System? Does he know I have a system? Or is he just guessing?]

[No way, he couldn’t have guessed it so accurately. Why didn’t he say ‘Top Student System’ instead of ‘Genius System’?]

[And he even got the school administration to interfere with my studies? Does he know I need to complete system tasks? How does he know so much about my system? Does he have a system too?]

In an instant, Shen Yu’s mind raced, and she arrived at a conclusion that was close to the truth.

The Jiang Che in front of her definitely knew something. After all, someone who could score 742 was probably not an ordinary person.

Hearing Shen Yu’s thoughts, Jiang Che’s mind gradually settled.

This woman... her reasoning skills are terrifying. She almost figured out the truth just like that?

And she even suspects that I have a system too?

Tsk, tsk, tsk. I can’t let this slide.

Just then, the long-awaited system notification sounded again!

[Ding! Host has triggered a villainous choice.]

[Choice 1: Boldly confess, “Shen Yu, I like you!” Reward: 100 Business-Type Puppets.]

[Choice 2: “Shen Yu, you wouldn’t want to be targeted by the school administration every day, would you?” Reward: 3 Millennium Vermilion Fruit Trees.]

[Choice 3: “Shen Yu, you wouldn’t want anyone to know about your system, would you?” Reward: A piece of System Spirit Farmland.]

I knew it! This damn system loves stirring up trouble!

But what made Jiang Che feel good was that every choice the system offered aligned perfectly with his own thoughts.

Nice. It seems the system really gets me.

And these three choices... they all seem pretty tempting. And without a doubt... this is a multiple-choice question!

...

Jiang Che gently patted Shen Yu’s shoulder and sat down beside her desk.

“I just heard you mention something about system tasks? My goodness... don’t tell me you really have a Genius System?”

Jiang Che feigned surprise as he spoke.

Seeing Shen Yu unable to maintain her composure, Jiang Che was amused.

What’s the matter? Sweating bullets now, huh?

Jiang Che was so close to Shen Yu that he could even smell her delicate fragrance. Shen Yu’s scent was different from other girls.

It was like plum blossoms, naturally carrying an air of aloofness.

“Huh? No way? Did I actually guess it right? Do you really have a Genius System?”

Jiang Che leaned in closer to Shen Yu’s ear.

Shen Yu remained silent, and even her inner thoughts were no longer audible.

But Jiang Che could clearly sense that she was nervous.

Seeing Shen Yu’s silence, Jiang Che’s lips slowly curled into a smile.

Lowering his voice, he said, “Shen Yu, you wouldn’t want anyone to know about your system, would you?”

Shen Yu: “......”

The girl slowly raised her eyes, her gaze serious as she looked at Jiang Che, who was so close. Their eyes met... the distance between them was incredibly close!

“You want me?”

Jiang Che: “......”

Her words almost made him lose his composure. Shen Yu was way too rational!

Although Jiang Che had his lustful thoughts, having them suddenly pointed out by someone else was a bit awkward.

“Shen Yu, are you changing the subject? We’re talking about the system right now!”

Shen Yu: “......”

“Shen Yu, with such amazing grades... could it all be thanks to the system?”

“Don’t try to provoke me. I do have a system.”

Despite her inner tension, Shen Yu still appeared calm and collected.

“Jiang Che, you have a system too, don’t you? So, your grades are also thanks to the system?”

Shen Yu didn’t hold back and directly countered Jiang Che!

“No, no, no. I was just guessing. My grades are all thanks to my own hard work.”

Jiang Che had a thick skin. He lied without even blinking.

“Shen Yu, I heard you muttering something about system tasks earlier. Don’t tell me you have to complete system tasks every day?”

“My goodness, with how busy you are now, do you even have time to finish those tasks?”

Shen Yu remained silent. If it weren’t for her upbringing, she would have cursed him out. Why am I so busy... isn’t it because of you?

If you hadn’t secretly made things difficult for me, would I be unable to complete my system tasks?

Jiang Che shamelessly wrapped his arm around the girl’s shoulder. “So... Shen Yu, you wouldn’t want to be targeted by the school administration every day, would you? After all, system tasks are very important!”

Alright, folks, two out of three system tasks completed!

That’s enough!

“Jiang Che, after all this, your goal is still to have me, isn’t it? Why beat around the bush?”

“With your background, I can’t resist. If you want me, go ahead... but today is my period.”

“And I’ll call the police, though it probably won’t do much.”

Jiang Che looked at Shen Yu with admiration.

As expected, the system’s evaluation of her was spot on.

Absolutely rational. Who could handle someone like this?

This girl, with her terrifying level of rationality, made Jiang Che feel a bit challenged.

An ordinary person would have no chance of winning over a girl like this.

But was Jiang Che an ordinary person?

He gently released Shen Yu’s shoulder, propped his elbow on the desk, rested his chin on his hand, and studied the girl in front of him.

“Shen Yu, do you want to hear the truth?”

“I like you!”

With that, he casually completed the last system choice. How satisfying~
