Halfway through class, the campus beauty Su Lingyue suddenly grabs my hand. "Come on, let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau." Who is she? Chongqing University's cold, stunning beauty, the daughter of the chairman of the Su Group. Her admirers line up from the library all the way to the school gate, and she has never given any of them a second glance. And me? I'm an ordinary freshman just like her, only a few months older. Other than having a decent face and a smart mouth, what makes me think I've got a chance?
As for my busted System, which has been dead for more than a decade, as far back as I can remember, only I know it exists. She doesn't know about it either. Her family arranged a marriage for her, and she refused to accept it, so she grabbed the "safest" shield at hand: me. My points skyrocket, skills unlock, and something called a "community of shared destiny" binds us tightly together. I can sense her location and emotions, and even eavesdrop on her thoughts. It's one-way: I'm the only one who can hear her.
So the campus beauty, who acts so aloof in public that she seems untouched by worldly concerns, will privately lean on my shoulder and sweetly whisper to me. She secretly saves the photos I've taken of her, then blushes and explains, "I was just checking out a childhood betrothal, that's all."
The whole school is wondering how I managed to marry a rich beauty. All I can do is silently pray, System bro, stay steady. Whatever you do, don't let her hear my thoughts.
