Chapter 019: Stunned

Xu Lele: Favorability +1

Xu Lele: Favorability +1

Xu Lele: Favorability +1

...

After Chen Yuan transferred 5 million yuan to Xu Lele, her favorability towards him started to increase again. Even when they couldn't meet in person, it kept rising steadily.

Xu Lele's favorability towards Chen Yuan had already reached 88 points originally. Now, with the continuous increase, it had reached 94 points. It was just one point away from breaking through the critical value and successfully making her fall for him!

But just when it was one point short, the favorability stopped increasing!

"Damn it! Can't you not play with my feelings like this? You stopped just when it's one point away?"

Chen Yuan looked at the system interface showing the progress of his attempt to win over Xu Lele as a sycophant and almost burst out in anger.

Should he keep transferring money?

No.

Everything has its limit. If he kept transferring money, the other party might just see him as a simple cash machine and it wasn't certain that her favorability would increase.

Money + Sweet Words = Invincible.

According to this formula, he had the money now, but he hadn't said enough sweet words. And Chen Yuan himself wasn't good at saying sweet words.

Of course, Chen Yuan would never confess his feelings to Xu Lele. He had learned a bitter lesson from the past. He had fallen into an extremely passive situation just because he had confessed to Lin Shutong too early.

Later, he summed up the experience. The most correct way to court a girl was to never confess. Just ask her out directly! If she agrees to go out, it means she has some interest in you and you can continue to develop the relationship. If she doesn't agree, then end it as soon as possible, cut your losses in time, and avoid getting too deeply involved and finally becoming a sycophant.

Once you confess, your eagerness is revealed, and the girl will subconsciously avoid you. She might even distance herself from you! At this time, it will be extremely difficult to pursue her.

At first, Chen Yuan had never really intended to pursue Xu Lele. He had always regarded her as a tool for spending his Sycophant Gold. So in front of Xu Lele, his attitude was very casual and relaxed. He had even deliberately lost his temper in front of her a couple of days ago. Because he didn't care, he seemed especially carefree.

After thinking for a while, Chen Yuan started typing: "If you have any difficulties in the future, tell me. I will help you no matter what it is."

No, this was too much like a sycophant! He had lent her 5 million yuan, not the other way around. Why should he please her like this? Remembering that he had pleased Lin Shutong in this way before, Chen Yuan felt a sudden sense of nausea. He quickly deleted the message.

He typed again: "Xu Lele, you are not allowed to be ambiguous with other boys from now on. Do you hear me?"

Still not right! This sentence was a bit too tough and didn't sound very pleasant. And he didn't plan to develop a romantic relationship with Xu Lele either. So he deleted it again.

Finally, Chen Yuan simply sent two words to Xu Lele: "Good night!"

That's right. The polite phrase "good night" was the most appropriate at this moment. Chen Yuan thought he shouldn't try to guess Xu Lele's inner thoughts. Instead, he should make it difficult for Xu Lele to figure out his true attitude. This was the only way to remain invincible! Turning the initiative into passivity was the highest level of being a sycophant!

"Okay! Good night, Brother Chen Yuan!"

Xu Lele replied immediately. But the favorability still didn't increase.

"Forget it. Let it be. The more impatient I am, the easier it is to make mistakes. I'll deal with it tomorrow," Chen Yuan sighed.

...

Early the next morning.

At the entrance of the boys' dormitory building in Phase II Apartment.

A quite good-looking girl was holding a delicate breakfast in her hand and had already been waiting for more than ten minutes.

"Damn, this girl is really hot. And she's holding breakfast. I wonder which guy is so lucky to have a girl bring him breakfast?"

"I've seen a lot of guys bringing breakfast to girls, but this is the first time I've seen a girl bringing breakfast to a guy!"

"Sigh! These days, all the good girls are taken by losers. I'm so handsome, but I've been single for more than twenty years!"

While a group of boys were chatting and pointing, Chen Yuan, along with his roommates Xiong Tao, Cao Jinyan, and Zhou Haiquan, came downstairs.

As soon as he walked out of the boys' dormitory, Lin Shutong, who had been waiting for a long time, ran up to Chen Yuan.

"Chen Yuan, this is the breakfast I prepared for you. Let's go to class together!" Lin Shutong said in a flattering tone.

"No, you can have it yourself. It's better for us to keep some distance, so as not to cause misunderstandings," Chen Yuan said seriously and firmly rejected Lin Shutong.

As soon as these words were spoken, several boys who had been paying attention to Lin Shutong for a long time almost vomited blood on the spot!

"Damn, who is this guy? Why is he so arrogant?"

"Damn it! Such a hot girl is bringing him breakfast, but he looks so disgusted. He's not even that good-looking. I'm better-looking than him. Is the girl blind?"

Just as two boys wearing glasses were looking angry, another girl with a hot figure and extremely high looks walked over. She glanced at Lin Shutong, and a strong sense of hostility flashed in her eyes.

"Brother Chen Yuan, I brought you breakfast. It's still warm. Eat it quickly!" Xu Lele said in a sweet and coquettish voice. Her soft and waxy voice made many otaku almost go weak in the knees.

"Damn it! Another stunning girl is bringing him breakfast. Who on earth is this guy?"

"He must be from a wealthy family!"

"Awesome! This is a real master. He can make two such amazing girls fight over him. His skills in courting girls are really high!"

At this moment, Chen Yuan's roommates Zhou Haiquan, Xiong Tao, and Cao Jinyan were also almost stunned! Before, they had always thought that Chen Yuan was just bragging in the dormitory. But who would have thought that he was really this amazing! Lin Shutong and Xu Lele were actually competing to bring him breakfast, and they didn't back down even when they saw each other. What the hell was going on? Were they chasing after him?

At this time, the atmosphere on the scene was a bit strange. Two good-looking girls, each holding a serving of breakfast, simultaneously offered them to Chen Yuan, waiting to see which one he would choose.

More and more boys were coming downstairs, and it had already attracted a crowd.

"Isn't this guy Chen Yuan, the sycophant? When did he become so awesome?"

"It seems that my direction of effort is correct. Look, even this sycophant Chen Yuan has succeeded. If I keep confessing to Qin Bingxue, maybe I can succeed one day too?"

"Qin Bingxue? The number one campus belle of Huda University? You must be daydreaming!"

"Bro, how many bottles of Snow Beer did you drink this early in the morning? Why are you so cocky?"

"Fourth brother, we haven't had breakfast yet. If you don't want it, let us have it," Xiong Tao said to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Okay, you can have it then," Chen Yuan took the breakfast from both Xu Lele and Lin Shutong and then handed them to Xiong Tao and Zhou Haiquan.

This action made both Xu Lele and Lin Shutong a bit unhappy. But at the same time, they also felt a little relieved. At least Chen Yuan didn't eat the breakfast from the other girl, which saved them some face.

The atmosphere eased a bit. But just then, Zhao Yuqi, the most beautiful girl in the School of Liberal Arts and the campus belle, walked over with a package of soybean milk, deep-fried dough sticks, and rice noodles. She walked gracefully and slowly came up to Chen Yuan.

"Here, this is your breakfast."

For a moment, all the boys on the scene were completely stunned and stood there, gaping.
