Chapter 7: If I’m Not Afraid, Why Are You?
Noticing this, Huo Yuhao’s interest grew.
At least A-level difficulty, and he had some confidence in completing it.
Immediately, he didn't delay any further and returned his consciousness to the depths of his soul.
While he was thinking, the system had already started the simulation, and it was almost over?
【Selection Complete】
【Generating Simulated Life】
【Time: After becoming a couple with Wang Dong’er; Location: Shrek Academy New Student Dormitory】
【Day One: You two were inseparable, intimately sharing your life stories. Although you had confirmed your relationship, the young girl’s apprehension and modesty meant that life saw no actual change.】
【Day Two: The advantage of living under the same roof is the constant deepening of feelings. As you became more familiar with each other, Wang Dong’er, drawn by your charm, finally couldn’t help but harbor thoughts of affection.】
【Day Three: In the early morning, Wang Dong’er woke up earlier than you. She climbed into your bed, intending to give you a surprise kiss. However, the surprise turned into a shock. The restriction on your brow instantly triggered, and you were violently thrown against the wall.】
【Whether passive or active, Tang San’s restriction will take effect, preventing the kiss of true love… Simulated life ends, this “proposition” failed, no reward can be obtained.】
…It wasn’t unexpected; it would be a miracle if it succeeded in this situation.
Despite Tang San’s poor character, his strength was undeniable.
To successfully get a kiss, he would need better talents, and that required multiple simulations.
Thinking this, he glanced at the girl in the bunk next to him, who was still wrapped in her blanket, showing no intention of communicating.
Since there was no rush, Huo Yuhao entered a brief period of cultivation.
It wasn’t until an hour later, when the system’s cooldown period was over.
He activated the simulation process again, choosing new talents to continue, repeating this throughout the entire morning.
During this time, he even drew an epic-level talent, but none managed to break Tang San's restriction, which left him feeling a bit helpless. It seemed that completing the A-level task last time had indeed involved some luck.
“Each simulation, the system prioritizes the proposition.”
“The talents provided, while not necessarily absolutely linked,”
“at least possess some relevant points, and occasionally, the description will offer suggestions and hints.”
“Since epic-level talents can’t handle it, then I’ll rely on legendary-level ones. A 1% probability is indeed very low, but I have all the time in the world!”
Muttering to himself, Huo Yuhao wasn't discouraged at all.
As an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, there was no need to panic too much.
Even if Tang San implemented his plan, that would be many years later, giving him enough time for countless simulations.
Just like yesterday, he had a stroke of luck and randomly got the epic-level talent 【Max Charm】, which meant there was always a chance for success.
Considering this, Huo Yuhao was not in a hurry.
Besides simulations, his cultivation progress also needed to keep up.
It wasn't until noon that he realized Wang Dong'er still wouldn't relax, so he simply went out for lunch.
He also brought a portion back for her, just like in the morning. Currently, they were in an awkward phase, and appropriate friendliness could shorten the “treatment.”
“Um… Wang Dong?”
“It’s lunchtime, don’t starve yourself.”
“I was wrong during the match, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect you to actually…”
Clearly, Huo Yuhao said this on purpose.
It showed concern but wasn't too direct.
He also used a couple of sentences to conveniently categorize his previous “reckless actions” as an accident.
This way, even if Wang Dong'er originally had conspiracy theories, they probably vanished by now. This subtle influence was quite effective on young girls.
“Shut up, you jerk! Don’t ever mention this again!”
“Heaven knows, Earth knows, you know, and I know, absolutely no one else can find out!”
“Otherwise, I’ll make you pay, no matter the cost, understand?!”
Suddenly, hearing Huo Yuhao speak, Wang Dong’er, who was lying on the bed, trembled violently.
She sat up abruptly, her eyes fixed on his face. The heroic spirit in her brows had lessened, replaced by a unique feminine charm.
She wanted to be angry, but looking at that youthful face, which wasn't particularly handsome but full of an inexplicable charm, she somehow couldn't bring herself to be angry.
That’s right, just as Huo Yuhao said.
Dressing as a boy was a task given by her family.
This kid didn't know, and physical contact during the spar meant it wasn't his fault for discovering it. Getting angry wouldn't solve anything.
But out of frustration, a few harsh words were still necessary. She warned Huo Yuhao not to blab, and subconsciously grabbed a pillow next to her, intending to throw it, but then changed her mind and gave up.
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep your secret.”
“It’s just… aren’t you going to apply for a dorm change?”
“It was fine when I didn’t know, but now that I do, it feels a bit strange.”
Observing quietly and confirming that Wang Dong'er's reaction wasn't too drastic, Huo Yuhao was quite satisfied.
Yet, he deliberately opened his mouth, suggesting something that seemed disadvantageous to himself, but in reality, he knew full well.
Even if Wang Dong'er had thoughts of changing dorms, Tang San, hiding behind the scenes like a mouse, would absolutely not agree.
This could be easily deduced from many previous simulations, where he would quickly correct any significant deviations.
“It’s fine, if I’m not afraid, why are you?”
“Just remember to keep your mouth shut, nothing else matters.”
“We came to Shrek to study. We can’t let this disrupt things. What if the academy finds out I’m cross-dressing and I get expelled?”
Though she said that, Wang Dong’er was clearly not that carefree.
Even though she was out of the blanket, she was still a bit shy.
After all, when they met yesterday, she was still presenting as a boy.
Now, just one day later, she had to revert to her female identity and interact with this incredibly friendly roommate. It felt a bit strange no matter how she thought about it.
Of course, that was all there was to it. At least for now, Wang Dong'er's thoughts were still very confused, and no deeper affection had developed.
And from Huo Yuhao's perspective, there were still thirteen days left until the confirmed relationship in the system simulation, so there was no need to rush.
Seeing Wang Dong'er's stomach rumble as she picked up her lunch, Huo Yuhao nodded casually and didn't dwell on the matter further.
Instead, he checked the time, which was just right, and once again sat cross-legged on his bed, preparing to start a new simulation under the guise of cultivating.
His actions, however, fell into the eyes of Wang Dong'er, who had been anxiously and secretly observing him, making the little girl breathe a sigh of relief.
She was worried that this decent roommate might blurt out her gender, and even more worried about whether some disharmonious situations might arise from living under the same roof. Amidst her apprehension, there was also a strange flutter?
It wasn’t anticipation, but rather a sense of curiosity.
After all, the rebellious little girl had never played this kind of game before.
She should have been focused on eating lunch, but she couldn't help but observe Huo Yuhao. The more she looked, the more attracted she became, and the more confused she felt.
“Strange, he’s not that handsome.”
“Could it be that I subconsciously like this type?”
“How is that possible? He’s just a young, immature kid. Hmm, it’s just part of getting to know my roommate!”
