[Chapter: 38 School flower girlfriend for you!]
Shen Lan spoke again, her tone laced with curiosity: "Master, how do you plan to approach Chi Qian?"
Lin Yuan adjusted the collar of his impeccably tailored tuxedo, a small smirk curling on his lips. "I don't need to make the first move. Someone will soon come begging me to meet her."
[What?] Shen Lan sounded confused and slightly perplexed.
Lin Yuan offered no further explanation, only issuing a calm command. "Shen Lan, allocate more points. Add another 200 million Counterattack Points. With the previous points, that will total 3,000 Counterattack Points. Assign them all to charm."
[Understood, Master.]
After completing the adjustments, Lin Yuan opened the familiar attribute panel, which displayed his updated stats:
[Host: Lin Yuan]
[Counterattack point: 0]
[Wealth value: 7 billion]
[Attributes:]
[Strength: 150, Speed: 110, Reaction: 110, Charisma: 200, Physique: 150]
[skill:]
[Medical skills: Divine Level, Piano: Advanced Level, Stocks: Advanced Level, Car skills: Intermediate Level, Violin: Intermediate Level, Calligraphy: Intermediate Level, English: Elementary Level,…]
[Favorability Panel:]
[Yan Ruoyue: 20, Qiu Wanxi: 60, Qiao Siying: -10]
[Loyalty Panel:]
[Wang Ergou: 90]
Lin Yuan had spent a significant portion of the funds transferred by Meng Yuelan to enhance his Counterattack Points, using one billion for this purpose. However, he deliberately set aside the remaining two billion, knowing he had other plans for those funds.
After allocating the points to his charisma, Lin Yuan stood in front of a tall mirror. As his reflection came into focus, he found himself momentarily stunned.
"Is this still me?" he murmured.
His facial features were still recognizable, still his own, but they seemed to have undergone a profound transformation. They were sharper, more defined—perfection itself.
The face staring back at him in the mirror was not just handsome; it was mesmerizing. It was the kind of face that would turn heads even in the largest of crowds, commanding attention effortlessly.
Lin Yuan couldn't help but lean closer to examine himself, his eyes drawn to every detail. The longer he looked, the more he found himself captivated by his own reflection.
[Master… you've been staring at yourself for five minutes… Oh, and your phone has been ringing,] Shen Lan reminded him gently.
Her voice broke the spell, and Lin Yuan chuckled softly, brushing a hand across his impossibly handsome face. "This charm stat might just be too powerful."
Finally turning away from the mirror, he answered the ringing phone. On the other end was a familiar, energetic voice.
"Hey, Cousin! There's a music exhibition at our school tonight. Are you interested? Lots of beautiful women will be there!" said Yu Shanshan.
Yu Shanshan, Lin Yuan's cousin, was a quirky and lively character. Despite her eccentric tendencies, her mother shared a close friendship with Meng Yuelan, which naturally strengthened the bond between her and Lin Yuan.
But unlike most people, Yu Shanshan had peculiar preferences—she wasn't interested in handsome men. Her obsession was entirely with beautiful women. She likes beautiful women, and she hooks up with beautiful women all day.
"Just get to the point," Lin Yuan said flatly, his tone betraying mild amusement. "I doubt you called me just because of a music exhibition."
Yu Shanshan laughed nervously. "Cousin, come on! Who doesn't like beautiful women? I'm just trying to share the experience, the eye candies!"
"Cousin! What do you mean, cousin, who doesn't like beautiful women? I like to be friends with beautiful women, and beautiful women also like me. Beautiful women and beautiful women are born to be together. Ugly monsters will always oppose…"
"You mean cousin, I am ugly?"
"No, no! Cousin, you are the most handsome! if we are not relatives, I would have had a problem with my sexual orientation…" Yu Shanshan flattered.
Lin Yuan: "Stop, just say it, or I will tell your mother that you have thirteen harems now."
"Eh, don't cousin! Didn't I say that my harem will welcome you anytime!" Yu Shanshan was anxious.
"I really don't know what's so good about that surname Yan, my cousin is so fascinated…"
Lin Yuan: "Say things quickly."
Yu Shanshan: "Okay, I won't say bad things about her. Actually, I asked for you to come over and help me!"
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Is this about your 'school flower' friend?"
Yu Shanshan groaned in defeat. "Ugh, fine. Yes, it's about her! My best friend is the school flower, okay? But people are always jealous of her beauty, spreading nasty rumors that she's 'too problematic to have a boyfriend.' So of course I can't bear it. I just went back and said that my school wife, ah no, school girl friend, not only has a boyfriend, but also their boyfriends even if tied together are not as strong as the boyfriend of our school flower."
Lin Yuan sighed. "And you thought using me as your fake boyfriend would be a good idea?"
"Yes! Think about it, Cousin. You're rich, talented, and undeniably handsome. You're literally the perfect guy to shut them all up. I even told them you'd come to the music exhibition tonight!"
Lin Yuan's voice carried a hint of sarcasm. "And what makes you think I'll go along with this?"
"Cousin, don't make me beg! I'm just trying to help my friend here. And, hey, there'll be plenty of beautiful women for you to meet. It's a win-win situation!" Yu Shanshan pleaded, her tone growing increasingly desperate. "So cousin, can you help my wife, it hurts, Chi Qian don't fight, come and help my friend!"
Lin Yuan paused for a moment before replying casually, "Alright, I'll go."
"My friend is really super beautiful…Eh?! Cousin, do you agree?!" Yu Shanshan prepared a lot of words to convince Lin Yuan.
Yu Shanshan gasped in surprise. "Wait… really? You're coming?!"
"Yes. But only because I have nothing else to do tonight. You owe me for this," Lin Yuan replied calmly.
"Of course, Cousin! You're amazing! How can that be? Cousin, my wife will be your wife from now on! My school flower friend is also given to you… Hey! Chi Qian, stop, stop, I'm wrong! I'll treat you to dinner after my cousin is done!"
Yu Shanshan exclaimed. There was a sudden yelp on the other end of the line. "Ouch! Chi Qian, stop hitting me! I was just joking!"
After hanging up, Lin Yuan checked the details Yu Shanshan had sent him about the time and location of the event.
Leaning back in his chair, he allowed himself a small smile. Yu Shanshan's meddlesome personality was no surprise to him, and he knew her well enough to predict her antics.
In the original storyline, Yu Shanshan had also asked the original Lin Yuan for help. But back then, Lin Yuan had been too preoccupied chasing after Yan Ruyue to care.
This time, however, things were different. Yu Shanshan's friend wasn't just any school flower—she was Chi Qian, a pivotal figure.
As Lin Yuan prepared for the evening, a flicker of anticipation lit his eyes. Sometimes, opportunities didn't require chasing; they simply presented themselves. Tonight promised to be one of those rare moments.
