36: Strolling on campus

“Oh, what are you doing! Keep your hands to yourself, there are people here! How embarrassing would it be if someone saw us!”

A young girl's coquettish voice came from deep within the small grove, her tone carrying a hint of shyness and reproach.

“Hehe, what’s there to be afraid of! It’s late at night, and this grove is pitch black, you can’t see your hand in front of your face. Even if there are people, they won’t be able to clearly see what we’re doing, so don’t worry!”

A slightly lewd male voice spoke up, his tone a bit impatient.

“You really are something, why are you in such a hurry! Can’t you just spend a little money to get a room outside? Why does it have to be here? It makes me so nervous!”

The girl’s voice clearly carried a hint of complaint and dissatisfaction.

“Hehe, what’s the fun in getting a room outside? There’s no excitement at all! Sneaking around, that’s the real thrill!”

The boy said in an even lewder tone.

A moment later, heavy male panting and the girl’s suppressed gasps and soft moans came from deep within the small grove, filling the air with an ambiguous and restless atmosphere.

Hearing these sounds, Qin Shou sighed inwardly:

“Damn it, it really is spring, the season of revival and mating! But today’s college students are really too open and unrestrained! The world is truly going to the dogs!”

Qin Shou shook his head, feigning seriousness.

However, despite pretending to be proper, he was still a normal man full of vigor. Hearing such suggestive sounds, his body naturally produced some physiological reactions.

As luck would have it, because of the suggestive scene in the small grove, Xu Nanqin dared not look directly at Qin Shou. Her pretty face was pressed even lower, and this allowed her to see Qin Shou’s reaction clearly.

This made Xu Nanqin’s face flush even more, her heart pounding, feeling a bit flustered.

Qin Shou also looked innocent, thinking, “I didn’t want to, but I couldn’t help it. Who told your art academy students to be so open? They ruined my chance to be a proper person.”

A few minutes later, the two finally walked through the academy’s small grove in this awkward atmosphere.

“Um… Director Qin.”

“Ah—! What is it?”

Qin Shou looked at Xu Nanqin’s beautiful face with a puzzled expression.

Xu Nanqin stood downstairs at the dorm, hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up her courage, saying in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s hum:

“Today… was my first kiss…”

After she said this, her pretty face was even redder, as if it would drip blood, her shy appearance was simply captivating.

“Ah! It was your first kiss!”

When Qin Shou heard this, he deliberately showed a surprised expression, his eyes wide.

Although he had actually known it was Xu Nanqin’s first kiss through the system prompt.

“Mm…”

Xu Nanqin nodded gently, lowering her head even more shyly, her fingers drawing circles with each other.

“Mm, don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility!”

Seeing Xu Nanqin’s shy appearance, Qin Shou liked her even more. He deliberately put on a serious and solemn expression, then nodded jokingly, wanting to tease Xu Nanqin.

“Really?!”

When Xu Nanqin heard Qin Shou’s words, a glimmer of surprise instantly flashed in her downcast eyes. She looked up at Qin Shou with expectant eyes, her voice also carrying a hint of unconcealable excitement.

“Hehe, what do you think? Do you… like me a little?”

Seeing Xu Nanqin’s reaction, Qin Shou knew the time was right, so he smiled mischievously, a wicked curve at the corner of his mouth.

At the same time, he secretly activated the Skill [Manliness], intending to further capture Xu Nanqin’s heart.

Xu Nanqin was struck by Qin Shou’s charming smile, and the deer in her heart pounded even more wildly. She lowered her head even more shyly. Her little hands’ fingers also began to fidget nervously in front of her, like a young girl in the first flush of love.

Qin Shou felt that the atmosphere had been built up enough, and any further delay would seem a bit affected, so he acted decisively. He suddenly put his arm around Xu Nanqin’s slender waist, lowered his head, and kissed her soft, sweet red lips again.

At the same time, the Skill [Skill] was activated, a passionate kiss.

Although he had tasted its sweetness during the day, that was for filming, with a group of people watching, so he was somewhat restrained.

“Mm… mm…”

Nanqin had not expected Qin Shou to suddenly act so domineeringly. Her mind instantly went blank, and her body became a bit stiff.

But she did not break free; instead, she slowly began to respond to Qin Shou’s kiss.

It was night, and the surroundings were quiet, with only the occasional chirping of insects, the atmosphere was just right.

After a while, Qin Shou reluctantly released Xu Nanqin. Xu Nanqin’s rosy cheeks and misty eyes were still savoring the moment.

“Actually… that day… the first time I saw you, Director Qin, I… I was already a little moved…”

Xu Nanqin was a bit dazed and infatuated from Qin Shou’s kiss. She mustered up her courage and shyly expressed her feelings to Qin Shou in a voice softer than a mosquito’s hum.

“This—!”

Qin Shou originally thought he had won over Xu Nanqin, but he didn’t expect Xu Nanqin had won him over.

Indeed, high-level hunters often appear as prey.

However, Qin Shou thought about it again. Xu Nanqin was indeed a rare beauty. Especially since she was so young, youthful, and beautiful, no man would dislike such a girl. Becoming prey once didn't seem like a loss for him.

【Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully capturing the heart of a beautiful girl and gaining her first love. Rewarding Earth-tier Skill 'Genius Great Director', possessing the film control of a world-class great director.】

And at the moment this Skill appeared, a flood of knowledge about film production surged into Qin Shou’s mind.

“I… I’m going back first. It’s getting late, you should also go back and rest early.”

After Xu Nanqin bravely confessed to Qin Shou, she felt both joy and shyness. She dared not look at Qin Shou again, hastily said goodbye to him, and then scurried towards her dormitory building.

Qin Shou stood still, watching Xu Nanqin’s graceful figure disappear into the night. His mind was filled with thoughts. He felt that everything he had experienced since his rebirth seemed somewhat unreal, as if he were in a dream.

Qin Shou quickly recovered from his momentary distraction. He began to seriously consider what had just happened and discovered an important pattern.

He realized a problem with such clarity for the first time: the rewards from Xu Nanqin seemed exceptionally generous.

Just two kisses, plus Xu Nanqin’sConfess your feelings, and he had consecutively gained two Skills. And this time, he was directly rewarded with an Earth-tier Skill! This was a situation that rarely occurred after he passed the novice protection period.

One must know that ever since he passed the novice protection period, the system’s frequency of granting Skills had greatly decreased, becoming very stingy.

Normally, only after he completed a “home run” with a target female would the system symbolically reward a Skill. And usually, it would only be low-level Skills of the Profound or Yellow tier.

To consecutively gain Skills through just kissing and confessing, and even including an Earth-tier advanced Skill, was simply unprecedented!

Therefore, the only reasonable explanation for this special situation was: because this was Xu Nanqin’s first love.

In other words, Qin Shou came to an important conclusion: the higher the quality of the beauty, and the less she had been touched by other men, the more generous the Skill rewards the system would give him.

This discovery was very important to Qin Shou, providing him with a clear direction and strategy for his future actions.

This meant that in the future, when choosing targets, he could pay more attention to the “quality” of the other party, trying to choose those women who had no romantic experience and were beautiful enough, so that he could more easily obtain high-quality Skill rewards.

Thinking of this, Qin Shou suddenly thought of someone.

“Xu Sishi.”

If he could win over such a national goddess who made all men in the country fall for her, he wondered what kind of Skills the system would reward him with.
