Chapter 11 The feeling of being a super-rich person is just too awesome!

"This way, we can stay in touch anytime, and I can properly thank you for your comfort today."

She hesitated for a moment before adding,

her tone carried a hint of testing as she fixed her gaze on Lin Chen, wanting to observe his reaction:

"Um..."

"My actions today might have been a bit impulsive, and I've caused you some trouble,"

"I hope there'll be a chance in the future to properly apologize and make it up to you."

Hearing this, Lin Chen was stunned. His eyes widened slightly, and his face was filled with surprise.

He hadn't expected things to develop this way at all.

Originally, he was the one plotting with the system mission in mind, wanting to actively reel in this beauty's heart and take some advantage while he was at it.

But now, it felt like he was the one being reeled in by her instead.

He had become the object of her active pursuit.

However, this was fine too; it was exactly what he wanted!

It saved him the trouble of trying to please her or deliberately getting close.

Lin Chen secretly rejoiced, unable to help but mutter to himself:

Could this be the massive influence brought about by an increase in personal charm?

It seemed the system's buffs were really no joke!

Thinking of this, Lin Chen took out his phone without hesitation, his fingertips tapping rapidly across the screen.

First, he took Li Sisi's phone and entered his phone number and WeChat ID.

Then, he handed his own phone to Li Sisi, letting her enter her information as well.

They quickly finished adding each other as friends, and he specifically saved her contact as Li Sisi.

Having done all this, the two looked at each other and smiled.

The previous awkwardness and shyness gradually dissipated, and the atmosphere became relaxed and pleasant.

It was as if that lingering kiss from earlier was just a little secret they both understood but didn't speak of.

At this moment, Li Sisi seemed to suddenly remember something, and the smile on her face faded slightly.

With a hint of seriousness mixed with a bit of testing in her eyes, she looked at Lin Chen and said with a smile:

"I almost forgot to tell you something."

"I'm twenty-eight years old this year. I should be a few years older than you, right?"

"I wonder if you'd mind dating a woman who is slightly older than you?"

Her tone was very frank and direct, without any concealment or affectation, yet she couldn't hide the unease in her heart.

After all, the age gap was there, and she was afraid Lin Chen would mind.

She feared that the little bit of warmth she had finally managed to grasp would vanish in an instant.

Since his charm value increased, the handsome Lin Chen had shed his eighteen-year-old greenness, possessing the slight maturity and fortitude of a twenty-year-old man.

Hearing this, Lin Chen almost couldn't hold back a laugh.

Why would he mind?

Forget about being bound by a system mission; even if it were just a chance encounter...

...such an exceptionally beautiful, charming, and slightly fragile older sister...

...would be the dream woman of countless men!

A sentence flashed through his mind as he secretly complained to himself,

yet his face took on an incredibly sincere expression.

Looking at Li Sisi with earnest eyes, he said firmly:

"Sis, you're beautiful, gentle, and charming. You're exactly my type."

"I don't mind the age at all."

"On the contrary, I feel that someone like you understands people better than those young girls and is even more captivating."

There's a saying: 'In youth, one doesn't know the virtue of a mature woman, mistakenly treasuring a young girl like a jewel.'

"It's just that I'm still in university, and I'm usually quite busy."

"Perhaps... perhaps you won't be my only one."

He spoke these words very candidly, without any concealment.

He both expressed his affection for Li Sisi and gave her a heads-up in advance,

to avoid more trouble if things were exposed in the future.

When Li Sisi heard the first half of the sentence, her eyes lit up instantly.

The smile on her face bloomed again, her eyes filled with joy.

But when she heard the second half, her smile froze instantly.

The joy in her eyes faded bit by bit, replaced by a deep sense of disappointment.

Even the corners of her mouth slumped slightly.

[Ding! Detected a significant drop in target character Li Sisi's emotions. The Deep Emotional Connection Mission is about to fail! Host, please take remedial action immediately!]

The system's cold notification sounded in his mind, and Lin Chen's heart instantly leaped into his throat.

Thump.

"Oh no," he thought to himself.

"Is it really going to fail like this?"

"Then wouldn't his Endurance Physique, Basic Combat Skill, and that 500,000 reward all go down the drain?"

He was incredibly anxious, inwardly wailing:

"My Endurance Physique and Basic Combat Skill!"

"These are things I desperately need. If the system deletes them, how will I cope when there are more women around me in the future?"

"And how will I resist if I encounter thugs or emergency dangers? No, I absolutely cannot fail!"

Just as Lin Chen was scratching his head in a panic, thinking about how to fix it,

the light suddenly returned to Li Sisi's disappointed eyes.

The gloom on her face swept away like a rainbow after the rain, and she smiled exceptionally brightly.

Her tone became lighthearted once more:

"I know, the age gap between us is indeed quite large,"

"and you're still a college student with your own life and social circle. I understand."

She leaned in a bit, her eyes carrying a hint of indulgence and a touch of slyness.

She said with a smile:

"It's okay. I happen to like younger 'little brothers',"

"especially a handsome and caring one like you."

"I don't care if I'm your only one. I've been abandoned anyway, and my heart is very lonely,"

"if you're willing to accompany me, even if it's just occasionally talking to me or going for a walk, it's much better than me being alone and sad."

After saying this, she didn't stay any longer.

She turned and walked toward the exit of the emergency passage. Reaching the door, she stopped,

raised her hand to wave, and said in a light, playful tone:

"Contact me on WeChat! I won't disturb you anymore. Go back and continue watching the movie with your beautiful classmate!"

Lin Chen let out a long sigh of relief, his heart finally settling back into place.

"This is basically a steal!"

A thin layer of cold sweat had broken out on his back.

Fortunately, it was a close call, but the preliminary plan was complete.

Looking at Li Sisi's retreating figure, he muttered to himself:

It seems those twin sisters' ability to attract attention is quite strong;

even a beauty like Li Sisi noticed I came with them.

Or maybe her eyes had been on my handsome face for a long time already.

He quickly waved at Li Sisi's back and shouted loudly:

"I... I'll contact you! See you next time!"

"See you next time!"

Li Sisi's voice drifted back without her turning around.

Her figure quickly disappeared around the corner of the corridor, completely out of sight.

Lin Chen stood dazed for a few seconds. Before he could calm his emotions,

the system's notification sounded in his mind once again.

This time, the tone was clearly one of reward.

[Ding! Random mission (Soothe Li Sisi's emotions, establish preliminary emotional connection) detected as complete! Reward: 80,000 RMB in cash, issued to the Host's bound bank card!]

Almost simultaneously, the phone in his pocket chimed.

A bank deposit text message popped up, and the screen lit up,

clearly displaying:

[Your account ending in XXXX has received a deposit of 80,000.00 RMB. Balance: 1,000,188.8 RMB.]

Lin Chen quickly pulled out his phone. Looking at the string of numbers on the screen,

his eyes lit up, and a brilliant smile instantly broke out on his face. He was overjoyed.

"The feeling of a Tycoon is just too awesome!"
