Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?-Chapter 119 - 116 I Miss You So Much

Wen Nan scanned the rose in his hand with the system—

9527: [Rose: Give someone a rose, and your hands will carry its fragrance. Give this item to a player to use as a daily decoration. Giving this item to a character might lead to unexpected surprises. Go on, try it out!]

From this description, it indeed seemed like Yang Mingzhong said, just a very ordinary item.

Seeing Wen Nan accept the flower, Yang Mingzhong looked back at Li Shuyi sitting by the window, quickly withdrew his gaze, and said to Wen Nan with a smile, "I’ll get going, Chairman, I won’t interrupt your important business."

With that said, he sidestepped Wen Nan and left the café directly.

Wen Nan watched Yang Mingzhong’s departing figure, looked at the rose in his hand, and then at the corner where the latter had been sitting. After pondering for a moment, he pulled up a chat window in the system—

[Nine: Follow Yang Mingzhong, closely monitor his every move, and make sure he doesn’t discover you]

[slave: Received, master]

After closing the system’s chat interface, Wen Nan holding the rose, slowly walked to the table in the corner.

Li Shuyi was staring at the scenery outside, daydreaming when suddenly a rose appeared in her view. She was slightly stunned. Turning her head, she saw Wen Nan’s face, and at that moment, it was like a switch was flipped. Her dull eyes instantly lit up.

Li Shuyi smiled, glanced at the rose, did not immediately reach out to take it, instead moved her gaze back to Wen Nan’s face, "Mr. Ye... what a coincidence?"

Wen Nan extended the rose to her again and asked, "Are you alone? Or do you have an appointment?"

It was only then that Li Shuyi raised her hand to take the rose, deliberately slowing her movements, brushing her fingertips over the back of Wen Nan’s hand.

Placing the rose on the edge of the table, Li Shuyi replied, "Just me, nothing to do, so I came to the café to sit and pass the time."

Wen Nan smiled and said, "I thought you’d prefer to go to a bar for entertainment when you’re alone."

Li Shuyi shook her head, "Either way, I’m alone. Whether it’s a café or a bar, it doesn’t make much difference to me."

At this, Li Shuyi raised her hand, gently holding Wen Nan’s wrist, "Mr. Ye, if you’re free, why not stay and keep me company? Alone, it’s passing time. Together, we can pass some other things..."

Wen Nan didn’t hesitate much, calmly sitting across from Li Shuyi, and asked with a smile, "Sister Shuyi, what do you want to pass?"

9527: [Congratulations, target ’Voraciously Passionate Young Married Woman Next Door,’ current strategy level increased to: 94%.]

Just a touch, a few suggestive words, and the strategy level can rise. After changing her personality, the young married woman next door is much easier to strategize.

Li Shuyi chuckled, didn’t respond to Wen Nan, finished her drink, still feeling thirsty, she straightforwardly asked, "Mr. Ye... want to come to my place and sit?"

Wen Nan turned his head, glanced at the clock on the wall, and regretfully said, "I have some personal matters to handle in two hours, I’m afraid I can’t."

Li Shuyi lowered her eyes, "Two hours..." After a moment of thought, she smiled again, "That should be enough to pass some things."

Wen Nan, however, shook his head disapprovingly, "From here to your place it takes more than half an hour on foot, I fear—"

"—No need."

Li Shuyi interrupted him, then stood up, walked to Wen Nan, leaned close to his ear, and said. "No need to go back, right here..."

Wen Nan turned to look at her in disbelief.

Li Shuyi gave him a sly smile, "I’ll be waiting for you in the restroom."

...

...

Erin Group headquarters.

After returning from the café, Yang Mingzhong headed directly to the bike shed in the backyard.

Halfway there, a system prompt echoed in his mind—

Xiao Ming: [Item Rose has been used, target ’Voraciously Passionate Young Married Woman Next Door,’ total strategy level increased: 0%.]

Yang Mingzhong paused slightly.

...Not even a little increase in strategy level?

After a brief moment of distraction, Yang Mingzhong quickly resumed his steps, hurrying to a moped, bent down, activated the system, and scanned the tire.

Soon after, a system prompt echoed in his mind, congratulating him on finding a new item.

For the next period, Yang Mingzhong scavenged like an elderly scavenger, continually searching in deserted corners, and always a shadow nearby, like a ghost, watching his every move in secret.

...

...

Two hours later.

Wen Nan exited the café’s restroom, adjusted his slightly disheveled collar and cuffs, and walked expectantly next door.

9527: [Congratulations, the target ’Voraciously Passionate Young Married Woman Next Door,’ current strategy level increased to: 99%.]

9527: [Congratulations player, you have achieved a perfect strategy with this character. In upcoming tasks, you may choose to skip plot and interactions related to this character, with no impact on strategy or task completion. Please be informed.]

Wen Nan was slightly taken aback.

Another perfect strategy?

It seems without her dominant personality, Li Shuyi’s strategy difficulty has been significantly reduced.

While pondering this, a system notification sounded in his mind—

[Character model correction in progress, current progress: 100%...]

[Character transfer complete...]

[Congratulations! You’ve successfully activated your exclusive character Liu Qi! The character has been delivered, please note for receipt!]

What the heck, did they airdrop Qiqi like a package?

Wen Nan muttered inwardly, quickly stepping into the activation point café.

He had just pushed open the door, and immediately saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure sitting by the table he had just scanned.

Just like in the first trial map, she was still a petite one, her feet dangling in the air unable to reach the ground, swinging back and forth.

Her features hadn’t changed much since high school, remaining in the pure and cute category with her soft facial features and ear-length short hair complementing her little round face.

However, her originally black hair now had two streaks of bright blue by her temples, and the chubby cheeks with earlier baby fat were gone, leaving her chin and nose sharper and more refined.

Her face was now less juvenile, with a hint of mature charm.

Wen Nan walked slowly to the table and stood in front of her.

Qiqi looked up at Wen Nan, and in those clear eyes, a cascade of emotions poured forth in an instant.

Wen Nan smiled at her and softly said, "Long time no see."

In a moment, Qiqi’s eyes turned red, tears blurring her vision.

She jumped up from the chair and hugged Wen Nan tightly, so much so that his ribs and arms ached a bit.

"Brother..."

She buried her head in Wen Nan’s chest, her voice muffled, "I’ve missed you."
