April.
Spring has arrived, and everything is coming back to life. It's the season of love again.
At Jiangcheng University, in the small woods.
"Sweetie, there's something on the corner of your mouth. Let me wipe it off for you."
"Stop it~ I don't believe you."
"Really, I'll just wipe it off, I promise I won't do anything else..."
Watching the couple showing off their love not far away, Cao Xuan's eyes immediately filled with envy.
Two people sharing a hot dog; now that's how to live life.
But, envy aside, he quickly ran to the nearby milk tea shop and spent eight yuan on a regular-temperature honey grapefruit tea.
In no time, a tall figure hurried over.
Seeing the newcomer, Cao Xuan's eyes lit up, and a fawning smile appeared on his face.
"Yueyue, I just bought your favorite honey grapefruit tea."
As soon as Li Yue took the milk tea, she immediately scolded, "Hmph! On such a hot day, why did you buy it at regular temperature?"
"Well... I'll go get you an iced one instead."
"Forget it! Cao Xuan, you never understand what I want."
Cao Xuan's smile instantly froze, "I'm sorry, Yueyue. I didn't think it through. I'll be more careful next time."
"Tch! Forget it. You took forever to rent a car. What can I expect from you?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Xuan immediately showed a troubled expression.
Last month, Li Yue had just passed her driving test and wanted to rent a car to practice.
But even renting a random car costs two or three hundred yuan a day. Cao Xuan's monthly allowance was just over a thousand yuan, and after daily expenses, he didn't have any extra money.
In fact, he had already eaten instant noodles for a week this month to buy a gift for Li Yue.
"Yueyue, I'm already working on the car rental..."
"What do you need to work on for a car rental? I knew I couldn't count on you."
Li Yue looked displeased and added, "Luckily, I made plans with someone else to practice driving today. They'll be here soon, so you should leave."
Panic surged in Cao Xuan's heart, and he quickly said, "Yueyue, why don't we go practice driving tomorrow? I made a reservation at a restaurant today."
"Nonsense, I finally got a chance to practice driving today. Do you think you can make plans with people so easily?"
Normally, Li Yue wouldn't refuse when Cao Xuan invited her to eat, but today she already had plans, so she didn't care about a meal.
Cao Xuan hesitated for a moment, then spoke again, "But... today is my birthday."
"So what if it's your birthday? It's not like you won't have another one next year."
What kind of logic is that? What do you mean "it's not like you won't have another one"?
Cao Xuan felt a bit stifled hearing this.
But he didn't dare to show it, afraid of making Li Yue unhappy.
"I..."
Beep beep!
Cao Xuan was about to say something when the sound of a car horn interrupted him. A Cadillac pulled up in front of them.
The window rolled down, revealing a flashy watch and a handsome face.
Zheng Mingliang beckoned with a finger and smiled, "Xiaoyue, let's go."
Li Yue immediately put on a smiling face, "Senior Zheng, you're here early."
Seeing Li Yue about to get into the car, Cao Xuan panicked and grabbed her hand.
"Yueyue, why don't you go practice driving first and then we can have dinner tonight?"
"No need, we're going far today and might not come back tonight."
Zheng Mingliang smiled, "Hehe, is this your friend? Does he want to come along?"
"No, he's just a classmate. We're not close."
Li Yue shook him off, not giving Cao Xuan a chance to speak, and got into the car.
...
Cao Xuan stood there holding the honey grapefruit tea, staring blankly.
Watching the car drive away, his heart felt like it was encased in cement.
Completely sealed.
When he first started college, he noticed Li Yue was from the same county as him and began paying attention to her.
Later, Cao Xuan treated Li Yue sincerely.
Li Yue didn't reject him, accepting his gifts without reciprocating her feelings.
Today, Cao Xuan had planned to use his birthday to surprise Li Yue and formally confess his feelings.
But to his surprise, she dismissed their relationship in front of someone else and didn't plan to come back tonight.
"Damn it! Being a simp gets you nowhere."
Cao Xuan slapped himself and vowed in his heart:
"From today on, I'm going to study hard and make money!"
"I want to drive luxury cars and live in villas!"
"I want everyone to fawn over me!"
[Ding! Goddess Wish System binding...]
What the... a system?
The sudden voice in his mind startled Cao Xuan, and he thought of scenes from novels.
Could it be that he also has a cheat now?
[Ding! System binding successful!]
[Goddess Wish System: When the host encounters a goddess with a beauty score above 80, the host can see her information and current wish.]
See goddess information and wishes?
What good is that?
Am I supposed to keep being a simp to please women?
"Damn it! I just swore not to be a simp, and now this happens!"
After hearing the prompt in his mind, Cao Xuan felt speechless.
Other people have systems with infinite money or cashback rewards, but his is a simp system?
[Ding! By fulfilling the goddess's wishes, the host will receive rewards such as cash, wish points, and item cards.]
Wait!
There are rewards?
"What if I pretend to be a simp and treat goddesses like bosses in a game to exploit the system..."
That might work!
He just didn't know how much the system would reward him.
Cao Xuan decided to give it a try.
Jiangcheng University was famous for having many beauties. Though there were few top-tier beauties, there were plenty with scores above 80.
Cao Xuan's eyes soon locked onto a girl not far in front of him.
She was wearing a floral dress, with a slender figure. Though not stunningly beautiful, she could be considered a pretty girl.
And at this moment, a prompt box appeared above her head.
[Name: Rao Shiting]
[Age: 19]
[Beauty Score: 81]
[Current Wish: My phone is so outdated. I really want an iPhone 15 Pro Max!]
"Damn! She doesn't look that great but has high expectations."
Seeing the wish above her head, Cao Xuan felt speechless.
With a beauty score of 81, just barely reaching the system's goddess standard, she wanted an iPhone.
An iPhone 15 Pro Max costs eight to nine thousand yuan.
Without knowing how much the system rewards, Cao Xuan wouldn't rush to buy an iPhone for her.
After all, if he couldn't cover the cost, he'd end up a simp for real.
Besides, he only had a few hundred yuan left for living expenses, so he couldn't afford it anyway.
"Forget it, let someone else simp for her."
Cao Xuan shook his head, giving up on 'simping' for Rao Shiting, and continued looking for another target.
Soon, his eyes locked onto another girl in front of him.
[Name: Zhang Yulu]
[Age: 19]
[Beauty Score: 82]
[Current Wish: Spring is almost over, and no guy has bought me my first milk tea of the season yet?]
"This is perfect!"
Cao Xuan looked at the honey grapefruit tea in his hand and his eyes lit up.
