After Maxing Out Their Affection, My Childhood Friends Surrounded Me

[Urban slice of life + System + multiple heroines + childhood friends]

Chen Yi always thought he was the most hated bachelor in the old state-owned factory compound.

He had only twenty-seven yuan in his pocket, was about to fail his one-kilometer fitness test, and had just received his third “let’s just be friends” rejection two days ago.

Then, while sorting through some old things, he accidentally bound the “Guide to Observing Humanity” System on an old phone.

Su Yan, the aloof, stunning art-school prodigy who usually went out of her way to avoid him, suddenly had a pink affection meter appear above her head: [Affection: 99.9% (has had a secret crush on him for ten years)].

[True thoughts: Chen Yi looks so handsome in that blue jacket today. I really want to secretly keep the tab from his soda can.]

Chen Yi was stunned. Then he discovered

Zhu Ye, the martial arts champion from the sports university who always joked that he was a “skinny runt,” was thinking: “He has his fitness test today. I have to sneak over to the finish line and bring him some water.”

Wen Zhi, the cool and proud campus belle from the broadcasting department who had looked after him for twelve years, also had an affection rating of 99.9%. She was secretly changing her profile picture on social media to a matching couple’s photo.

Looking at the endless WeChat transfers and fitness attribute points pouring into his account, Chen Yi fell into deep thought.

Had all those times he’d been inexplicably dumped been caused by these childhood friends clumsily “getting in the way” behind the scenes?

At the exit of Linjiang Station that weekend, Wen Zhi blushed as she handed him a one-way high-speed train ticket. “We’ll split the fare, but this counts as our first official date. Don’t you dare be late.”
