The Heroine of the Dating Sim Has Come Looking for Me

Chi Xing discovered that a little character-raising game had suddenly been downloaded onto her phone.

In the game, she could raise the heroine's affection by patting her head, hugging her, and doing other things. She could also level her up by training and feeding her, or buy pretty clothes to dress her up...

Chi Xing loved character-raising games more than anything. She played this one for three months straight, unlocking several pages of the heroine's wardrobe and spending every day patting her head, snuggling up to her, and hugging her until her affection was maxed out.

Once her affection was maxed, Chi Xing lost interest in the game. The big exam was coming up, and her parents confiscated her phone.

After the exams were over, Chi Xing got a new phone and never opened that game again.

When she started university, Chi Xing was astonished to discover that one of her classmates looked exactly like the heroine from the game she'd played.

Only, the heroine in the game was tiny and adorable.

Her real-life classmate, Pei Tingxi, was tall and aloof.

When she looked at Chi Xing, her eyes were icy.

Thinking that Pei Tingxi disliked her, Chi Xing made a point of keeping her distance. Even when they had classes in the same major, she obediently sat on the other side of the room.

Some days passed like this.

Then Pei Tingxi came looking for her.

She pulled Chi Xing into her arms and asked in a husky voice, "Didn't you used to love hugging me? Why don't you come hug me anymore?"

"...?!"

Chi Xing stared wide-eyed. Her classmate Pei really was the heroine from her game!

Before she could recover from the shock, Pei Tingxi leaned close to her ear and whispered:

"Patting, holding hands, hugging...

Chi Xing, what do you think the next intimate action is?"

Upcoming novel:

"My Childhood Friend Is Bound to a Dating Strategy System"

Jiang You had recently started hearing things that probably weren't there. Every now and then, she would hear her childhood friend Wen Jingshu talking to someone, but the conversation made no sense to her.

Like right now:

"Host, Host! The target has appeared! Hurry, hurry, hurry! Complete the mission and raise her affection for you!"

"Shut up."

"If you don't complete the mission, you won't get your reward, and you'll be punished too. Boohoo..."

"Unbind me."

"There's no way to unbind!"

Jiang You looked at Wen Jingshu. Her childhood friend noticed her gaze and smiled back warmly.

Jingshu wasn't speaking. So where was that voice coming from?

"Mission countdown: ten minutes. Host, hold Jiang You's hand and confess your love to her within ten minutes. If you fail, you will be electrocuted."

Jingshu wouldn't play a prank like this. This was her chance to find out if she was imagining things.

Jiang You quietly waited for Wen Jingshu to make a move. But even as the countdown neared its end, Wen Jingshu didn't budge. She was even studying!

"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six..."

Jiang You couldn't take it anymore. She took Wen Jingshu's hand. "Jingshu, do you like me?"

Her childhood friend couldn't be allowed to get electrocuted!

Wen Jingshu's fair face quickly turned bright red, and her usually composed voice sounded dazed. "What...?"

"I want to hear you say you like me, Jingshu." Seeing that the countdown had paused for now, Jiang You was determined to help Wen Jingshu complete the mission.

Wen Jingshu's cheeks were scarlet, her eyes shimmering like autumn waters. "I like you."

Thank goodness. When that mysterious voice announced that the mission was complete, Jiang You sighed in relief and smiled. "I like our Jingshu best, too."

Jingshu really was shy. They'd been childhood friends since they were little. How could Jiang You not help her with this tiny favor?

Besides, they were both straight. There was no reason to worry about a misunderstanding.

So Jiang You said solemnly, "Jingshu, no matter what it is, I'll help you."

"...Is that so?" Wen Jingshu smiled warmly.

So...

They could hold hands, hug, kiss, and even...

At dusk, as rain fell outside, the curtains were drawn, leaving only a faint light in the room.

Jiang You began to feel that things were taking a strange turn.

Could childhood friends really do this kind of thing?

"You said you'd help me with anything, Youyou." Wen Jingshu's eyes filled with tears. "Can't you help me this time...?"

Jiang You couldn't bear to see Wen Jingshu cry. She leaned in and kissed her.

After a sleepless night, Jiang You began to think.

How could she turn her childhood friend Wen Jingshu gay?

In the tenth year of knowing Jiang You, Wen Jingshu realized she had fallen in love with her.

But Jiang You was straight.

Wen Jingshu had to be careful not to let her feelings show, afraid of ruining their relationship. In the seventeenth year of knowing Jiang You, she became bound to a system called Romance Strategy.

And that was when she saw Jiang You's affection for her.

100/100.

Achievement unlocked: A Love Like No Other.

If Jiang You loved her this much, then...

She would surely indulge her, wouldn't she? Wen Jingshu smiled gently.
