His voice was languid and seemed to contain a profound meaning behind it.
Su Yan nodded her head.
"Jiang Ran"
He listened as her little peach-like lips parted and closed.
His name had been exclaimed by others countless times.
But when it came from her lips, it sounded so damn good.
A smile surfaced on the youth's impudent face, almost teasingly.
"Since you know who I am, are you still worried that you won't be able to return it to me?"
When he said that, she fidgeted with the strawberry milk taffy in her hand, maintaining a tight grip on it. She looked as though she really liked it.
His teasing smile became even more apparent as he nodded his head.
"Eat slowly."
These two words were clear, enunciated, one after the other.
Then, he saw Su Yan nod her head earnestly. "Okay."
When he saw her reaction, a wisp of amusement flashed past his eyes.
According to the clock, the lesson was about to end.
Nothing else was mentioned and no goodbyes were said.
Hands stuffed into his pocket, he left, taking the same route as before.
Little Flower System, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up.
"Host, Little Flower has detected your High God Fragment."
Su Yan gnawed on her taffy and asked leisurely, "Where is it?"
"It was in that boy!"
"What do you mean?"
"Your High God Fragment is on his body."
"Then?"
"Your High God Fragment possesses a figment of your power. You could say that it has formed the halo of a lead character. He is the male lead of this world."
"What do I need to do?
"In order to retrieve your High God Fragment, there are two methods. Firstly, you can wait for the male lead to die naturally. Then, your High God Fragment will be returned as well."
"What about the second method?"
"Secondly, you can help the male lead fulfill his heart's desire. After the desire has been satisfied, the function of the High God Fragment would have been accomplished and you would be able to recover the fragment."
"Among these two methods, which one is faster?"
"The System recommends… the second one."
After Little Flower System spoke, Su Yan fell into a period of silence.
After a long time, a soft voice sounded, "Then… What should my first step be?"
Su Yan massaged the space between her brows as she asked.
She was truly unable to overexert her mind. If she thought too deeply, her brain capacity would be insufficient.
Little Flower coughed.
"I have browsed through all the data in the system database and will recommend the most efficient route for Host."
"Okay," she obediently agreed.
"Host, you should stay close to him, understand his person, and get him to lower his guard. Then, you could stealthily ask him what his heart's desire is. He should tell you."
"Really?"
"Of course!"
Little Flower System stood by its advice resolutely.
When Su Yan heard this, she nodded her head as an indication of her agreement.
Before she became a High God, she had very little interaction with ordinary people, despite being human.
When it came to interpersonal relationships, Su Yan was a blank sheet.
Following the advice of her system shouldn't go wrong.
After careful consideration, Su Yan grew certain about her decision.
And, at a certain corner opposite the corridor on the second floor, four boys knelt at the corner of the wall, each with a strange expression on his face.
After exchanging glances in silence for a long time, a wave of excitement suddenly overwhelmed them.
"Dang! Just now, what the h*ll was that?!"
"Strawberry milk taffy?! Hahahaha, did I see that wrong?! Brother Jiang bought strawberry milk taffy for that girl?!"
"Heavens! Hey hey hey, did you see Brother Jiang's actions just now? He even peeled the wrapper for that girl!"
"The impossible has happened and the sky is raining blood. When I saw Brother Jiang's emotionally stirring actions, I am willing to bet one banknote – Brother Jiang is clearly interested in that girl!"
Four boys chattered away outside the wide doorway, like a few housewives gossiping to no end.
