[Is this the difficult Wang Jiexi that Elegant mentioned?]

His initial impression of her was more than 60. It seemed that he wasn't that special after all.

Shang Rong thought and smiled at him, "I had something to do, so I stayed here."

She wasn't sure what Wang Jiexi meant, so she gave a general answer. That way, it wouldn't be easy to find fault with her answer.

Although it was suspicious that Wang Jiexi seemed to know her the moment she entered the game, she could accept that it was part of the game's setting. It was a pity that she didn't read the strategy guide and the story manual carefully.

Her probing was undoubtedly successful. Without needing her to explain anything, Wang Jiexi seemed to understand something, "I see."

He nodded thoughtfully, "Although I shouldn't be the one asking this, I presume that you and the Shiqian have had a good talk?"

[Who is the Shiqian?]

Shang Rong blinked and quickly observed his expression and movements. She saw that his expression was calm and his eyes were looking straight at her, but his fingers hanging by his side were tense.

Naturally, Shang Rong sensed the complex emotions behind his words. She lowered her eyes slightly and grasped the soft hem of her dress tightly. She looked very conflicted, "I …"

"It seems that you don't want to break up with him." Wang Jiexi observed her expression and calmly came to a conclusion.

"If that's the case, you should tell him.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Shiqian doesn't really want to break up with you. "

The plot couldn't be clearer at this point. Shang Rong thought about it and imagined it as a girl who had just broken up. She looked up and smiled bitterly, "Do you think so?"

The tall man was looking down at her. He was caught off guard when she looked up at him. There was a hint of sadness in her maroon eyes. His gaze froze.

After two seconds of silence, he nodded, "This is just my opinion. You can decide for yourself what to do."

[Congratulations on unlocking the character [Fang Shiqian]!]

At this moment, the system suddenly issued a notification.

[The relevant information has been recorded. It will be updated continuously with the plot. Please check it in time!]

"… Thank you."

Shang Rong paused for a moment and quickly made a decision. This Wang Jiexi was not that difficult, so she did not intend to take it seriously. She might as well act unfamiliar with it and take the opportunity to try the "Shiqian" route.

"In that case, I …" She smiled politely and was about to bid farewell and leave.

However, Wang Jiexi suddenly stopped her. "Shang Rong."

His voice was low and magnetic, and when he called out her name, it was as if he had used all his gentleness.

Shang Rong noticed the change in his mood and turned to look at him. She saw him using the same expression as before and gently asked her, "Do you like Shiqian very much?"

Shang Rong pursed her lips and resolutely answered with a serious face, "Yes, I like Shiqian very much."

As she said this, she was still thinking in her heart: Is it a wise decision to give up on Wang Jiexi and go for the unknown ex-boyfriend?

However, she noticed from the corner of her eye that after she said this sentence, the favorability rating above Wang Jiexi's head changed. The pink part even increased a little, and the number changed from 68 to 70.

Shang Rong's gaze only stayed for a short while before she looked away. She did not understand why this answer increased the favorability rating.

[Or, trying to make the target jealous is also a way to do it?]

Wang Jiexi's expression did not change. He nodded and told her sincerely, "Since you like him, you don't have to be too hard on him. You just have to do what you want to do."

His words resonated with Shang Rong and she nodded in agreement.

Wang Jiexi did not seem to intend to let this conversation end. Not only that, his expression became even more serious, "As far as I know, you are very talented. If I invite you as the captain, would you consider becoming a member of Microcao?"

Shang Rong did not understand his words, but this did not prevent her from rejecting him. She smiled faintly, "Sorry, I don't have that plan yet.

I should focus on my studies now. "

"You're right." Wang Jiexi didn't insist, and smiled along with her.

"At your age, you should study hard … I didn't think it through."

"However," Shang Rong felt that it would be a pity to completely give up on Wang Jiexi, so she raised her head, her eyes filled with expectation as she told him: "If you invite me as a friend, I will never refuse."

Wang Jiexi seemed to be startled. This time, he revealed a happy smile: "If you're willing to come, Tiny Herb will always welcome you."

Shang Rong smiled at him, dimples appearing on her lips. "Then, see you another day."

Wang Jiexi calmly nodded and said, "Okay." He stood in place and watched her turn to leave.

Shang Rong had her own little habit of walking. Her pace was fast, but her strides were not big. When she walked like this, her curly and pretty chestnut hair would sway with her movements.

Because of the sun, her well-maintained hair would reflect a faint golden glow. Looking from the back, it was very cute and pleasing to the eye.

Wang Jiexi's gaze rested on her curly hair for a while, the corner of his mouth unconsciously curling.

Considering how to find Fang Shiqian, Shang Rong tried to follow her habit and opened her backpack. She found the name [Shiqian] in her phone's contact list.

[Congratulations on triggering Fang Shiqian Side Mission — After Breaking Up!

Completing this side mission can obtain the Fang Shiqian SR bond card [His Heart] and unlock related memories!]

If it was to collect bond cards, it was obviously necessary to complete this side mission.

Without hesitation, she tapped on the screen and called the number.

Unexpectedly, after the call was connected, the electronic voice of [The number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable] came out after the first ring.

Was it hung up?

Realizing this fact, Shang Rong suddenly became more interested in pursuing Fang Shiqian.

She raised the corner of her mouth and was about to dial a second time.

The phone suddenly rang, and the name on the screen was [Shiqian].

Hanging up but calling again, what kind of strange ambivalence is this?

Shang Rong was a little confused.

She tried to find the answer from the psychological knowledge she was studying, but to no avail. She could only pick up the phone.

The man's deep voice with a smile came from the other end of the phone. "What's wrong, Rongrong?

Did you miss me? "

Isn't this the tone of an ex-boyfriend?

Shang Rong was uncertain, so she followed his words and answered with a smile, "Yeah, I missed you."

The man nodded and seemed a little proud. "I knew it, because I missed you too."

"Why did you hang up on me if you missed me?" Shang Rong pursed her lips and asked softly.

Her voice was soft, and she raised the end of her words out of habit, as if she had been wronged.

"Silly Rongrong." The other party couldn't help but laugh.

"Didn't I say that I would never wait for you to contact me?

It's the same even if you call. "

Shang Rong blinked and naturally changed the topic. "What if I want to see you?"

Fang Shiqian was silent for a second, and his tone was still gentle. "Then I can only run to see you. Where are you?"

"I'm …" Shang Rong looked around and immediately got the answer.

"The subway station near Taoran Pavilion."

"Wait for me." There was a soft sound from the phone, like the sound of a chair being dragged against the ground.

Fang Shiqian slowed down his tone and spoke to her with a smile, "Alone?

Are you scared? "

"No," Shang Rong replied without hesitation.

"Because I know that I'm waiting for you, and you won't let me wait too long, and you won't stand me up, right?"

Fang Shiqian couldn't help but laugh. "En, you're right. You really know me."

Just like that, the two of them chatted with each other for more than five minutes. They didn't have any practical meaning, but they were gentle and affectionate.

Fang Shiqian, who was still talking to her, suddenly changed the topic and smiled. "Turn around."

Shang Rong immediately turned around and almost bumped into a chest.

She subconsciously took two steps back and looked up again. Only then did she see the tall man's face clearly.

He had a gentle face, and although his facial features weren't stunning, his eyes were dark and bright. Paired with his warm smile, it was like a spring breeze.

Shang Rong glanced at the pink heart shape above his head. Above it was the name Fang Shiqian and the favorability.

When Shang Rong saw this number, she began to ponder. It seemed that she still needed to change her target … But before that, she should first obtain the second bond card.

With a general idea, she looked up again and smiled at Fang Shiqian. "So fast?"

"How would I dare delay your summons?" Fang Shiqian asked jokingly.

"Right, do you want something to drink?

Lemon juice?

Sour plum juice? "

'She likes both of them?'

Shang Rong laughed in surprise. "Anything's good."

"En, lemon juice it is." Fang Shiqian nodded as if it was nothing out of the ordinary, minding his own business.

"But don't think about ice. You know you'll have a stomachache if you drink too much." He looked around and raised his finger to point to a drink shop across the road.

"Let's go there?

I used to go there often. "

Shang Rong didn't have the slightest objection and followed his footsteps in that direction.

As the soles of her sneakers stepped on the white line, all the cells in her body tensed up involuntarily. Her muscles started to tremble, and cold sweat seeped out of her pale forehead. She subconsciously held her breath, and her next step became hesitant.

It was an old problem of hers. Perhaps because of the accident two years ago, she would always lose control of her emotions when crossing the road.

Fang Shiqian, walking beside her, lowered his head slightly to glance at her. He seemed to walk a little closer to her and put a gentlemanly hand on her shoulder, saying with concern, "Don't be afraid. I'm here."

Even though there was air between them, she felt warmth on her shoulder.

Shang Rong was startled, feeling the real touch from her left hand.
