Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?-Chapter 3 - 2 Main Quest_2

This must be his innocent and adorable deskmate.

Wen Nan quickly made the judgment.

Sure enough, the system's voice echoed in his mind:

[Name: Liu Qi (Qiqi)]

[Identity: Innocent and adorable deskmate]

[Background: Qiqi is your deskmate and also your neighbor sister whom you grew up with. You are familiar with each other and often go to and from school together. Until the final sprint of senior year, you chose to live on campus, focusing on your studies, and you gradually grew apart. Tonight, Qiqi mustered up the courage to invite you.]

[Strategy Difficulty: ★★★☆]

Feeling someone approaching, Qiqi looked up. The moment she saw Wen Nan, the light immediately kindled in her previously distracted pupils.

Her eyes curved into crescent moons with a smile, and she jumped up like a little rabbit, bouncing in front of Wen Nan with her heavy backpack.

"Bro! You're here! I thought...you wouldn't come."

Wen Nan smiled at her, "You invited me, how could I not come?"

Qiqi lowered her head without answering.

She had sent out quite a few letters, just sitting by this flower bed, waiting night after night, but never received any response. She had lost hope, never expecting to wait for her brother this time.

"Have you been waiting long?" Wen Nan asked softly upon seeing her silence.

Qiqi quickly collected her thoughts, raised her little face, and shook her head with a smile, "No, not really waiting."

As she spoke, she slung her backpack and walked toward the sports field, "Let's go."

Wen Nan lifted the strap of her backpack, intending to help her carrying it, "What's inside that it's so heavy?"

Qiqi sidestepped like a little dog guarding its food, hugging the bag to her chest, refusing to let Wen Nan touch it, "Not heavy! I can carry it myself."

Wen Nan saw this and let her be.

The two came to the bleachers at the edge of the sports field and sat side by side on the steps.

Qiqi opened the backpack, and Wen Nan glanced inside, discovering it was filled with bottled sparkling water.

All the same brand, with different flavors, colorful.

Wen Nan couldn't help but think sarcastically, does she like this brand's soda so much? Does she need to carry a full set with her?

Qiqi rummaged through the bag, hesitating between green and yellow with her fingers.

She first placed her small hand on the yellow one, paused for a few seconds, her lips pursed, cheeks redden, and shook her head, finally settling for the green one, which she handed to Wen Nan.

"Here, bro, for you to drink."

Wen Nan looked at the green bottle, hesitated slightly.

Hmm...normally, he didn't really prefer this color.

But seeing Qiqi's water-filled eyes brimming with anticipation, Wen Nan still reached out and took it.

Qiqi was delighted, lowering her head with a giggle.

Just as Wen Nan was about to unscrew the cap, he noticed a prominent slogan on the packaging bag—

[Under the moonlight, perfect for holding hands].

Wen Nan's motion paused.

So, did Qiqi buy all the different flavors specifically to collect these cheesy love lines on the packaging?

While Wen Nan was dazed, Qiqi looked up at the dark night sky, feeling a bit lost.

"Ah, there's no moon tonight."

Saying this, she cautiously moved a little closer to Wen Nan, slyly bringing her hand close to Wen Nan's hand.

Just as their hands were about to touch, Wen Nan lifted his hand, unscrewing the bottle cap to take a sip.

Her hand missed, Qiqi looked towards Wen Nan in a daze and asked softly:

"Do you...like it?"

"What?"

"That."

Qiqi raised her hand, pointing to the soda bottle, uncertain if she meant the flavor or the advertisement line.

Wen Nan looked at the night sky with only stars and no moon, shaking his head, "There's no moon, it's not fitting."

"Oh..."

Qiqi stopped trying to hold hands, pulling her hand back entirely, wrapping her arms around her knees, wishing she could shrink into a small ball and hide underground.

Her little mouth pouted, eyes reddened.

Meanwhile, in Jiu cilang's livestream room, the viewers were chatting excitedly:

[Is she really a ghost? So cute, how could she be a ghost]

[Bro, are you a one-round player? Don't even know such basic common sense? The more heart-stirring the ghost girl, the more terrifying, three-and-a-half-star level, such cuteness is normal]

[Ah, I see, I didn't even pass the first picture, the highest level I攻略过 is only one star, nowhere near this]

[Hold hands]

[Hold her]

[Jiu cilang, can't you do it?]

At this time, a few red highlighted comments floated by:

[Don't touch her! Don't touch her! Don't touch her!!!]

[Important things said thrice!]

[My friend did a newbie trial攻略 with Qiqi, touched her, now the grass on his grave is three meters high!]

[Seriously? What happens if you touch?]

[You don't want to know]

[This Jiu cilang doesn't seem like a newbie?]

[Such strong willpower, didn't go for holding hands, seems like he's done similar攻略]

[Is he really a pro here to 'fish in a barrel']

While the comments were discussing, Wen Nan leaned towards Qiqi; his arm raised, and wrapped around Qiqi's shoulders in a near-embrace position.

This sudden intimate action surprised Qiqi, making her instinctively straighten her spine, her cheek accidentally brushed against Wen Nan's hand.

Wen Nan slightly paused, clearly feeling the touch of her cheek's skin—cold, delicate, smooth, and soft.

[?]

[???]

[Touched!]

...

After a brief touch, Wen Nan quickly withdrew his arm, now holding a bottle of yellow soda.

Qiqi then realized, Wen Nan wasn't trying to hold her, but merely reaching for her bag beside her to grab this bottle of soda.

She turned her head, her eyes fixed on Wen Nan.

Her once pale skin gradually became covered in blue and purple patterns, her large eyes, once black pupils, now vanished, leaving only empty whites.

Two lines of thick black blood streamed from her eyes.

[It's over]

[Showing her true form]

[gg]

...

Wen Nan looked steadily at Qiqi's face, momentarily stunned.

9527: [Ding!]

9527: [Dear Jiu cilang, congratulations! Your account has surpassed 1000 Gold Coins! If there are any items you'd like to purchase, please let me know anytime.]

Before the voice finished, the system kindly brought up the mall interface, prominently displaying a purchasable item:

[Safety Bubble: Players wearing this equipment can be immune to all attacks for 30 minutes. (Only applicable to攻略 targets of four stars or below)]

9527: [Would you like to use Gold Coins now?]

Wen Nan: [Use them.]

9527: [Alright, buying equipment for you now—]

Wen Nan: [—No, don't buy the equipment.]

9527: [...]

Wen Nan: [Now, help me open a betting pool in the livestream room, all my current Gold Coins for betting]

9527: [...Yes.]

The betting pool was opened, and the odds instantly surged to 86.37.

Wen Nan looked back at the girl in front of him.

He raised his hand, gently wiping away the blood from her eyes, saying softly, "Just not holding hands, why are tears falling?"

Saying this, he extended the yellow soda bottle.

On it, printed a line of similarly styled cheesy love talk—

[Full sky of stars, perfect for kissing].

"I think, green doesn't suit me, I'm more suited to do 'yellow' things."

Wen Nan said, leaning in to kiss Qiqi's lips.
