83: Liu Nansheng

Chen Li's heart suddenly sank—it wasn't her.

A mixture of disappointment and self-deprecation blocked his chest. Was it just an illusion?

Refusing to give up, he scanned with the system:

【Chen Na】

【Affection Level: 0】

【Figure: 72】

【Appearance: 71】

【number of times kun: 102】

【number of kunners: 3】

The cold data confirmed his judgment; it really wasn't Liu Nansheng.

He chuckled bitterly to himself. He had really lost his mind. Even her face was different; was it possible she had gotten plastic surgery?

But the next second, an even stronger intuition surged—something was wrong.

He squeezed his eyes shut, and his mind clearly replayed that fleeting glimpse of the silhouette in the hallway:

That smooth jawline, the perky tip of the nose, and that uniquely light gait when walking... He could admit he was bad at games, but he absolutely trusted his eyes and memory.

That Figure didn't match the Chen Na in front of him at all.

“Sir?” Seeing that he hadn't reacted for a long time, Nana maintained a professional smile and reminded him softly.

Chen Li snapped out of it, took a deep breath, and spoke with a final trace of reluctance, “Um... sorry, can I change technicians?”

“Of course, sir.”

Nana showed no sign of displeasure on her face, still responding gently.

“Could you please,” Chen Li rubbed his brow tiredly, “call the waiter who just brought me here?”

Now, he could only pin his last hopes on that waiter.

A moment later, the waiter from before knocked and walked in.

“Sir, are you unsatisfied with the technician's service?” she asked with concern.

“It's not a service issue.”

Chen Li organized his thoughts, “I want to ask, when we were talking in the hallway earlier, did you only see one technician, ‘Nana,’ pass by?”

The waiter hesitated slightly, seemingly trying to recall: “No, sir. I remember there was another technician, No. 86, named ‘Nannan,’ who walked by from the other side.”

Nannan!

Chen Li's eyes widened suddenly, and his heart felt as if it had been struck hard by something.

It was this Nannan. Liu Nansheng had the word 'Nan' in her name. He was almost certain that it was definitely Liu Nansheng.

This strong intuition instantly invigorated him.

“It's her. The one I want to book is this ‘Nannan.’ Please rearrange it for me.”

“Alright, sir. Let me check Nannan's schedule right now.”

The waiter took out a black handheld device and swiped her finger across the screen to check.

A moment later, she looked up and said with a slight apology:

“Sir, technician Nannan is currently serving a guest, and that guest just extended their session.

If they don't extend again, the earliest she'll be free is in an hour and a half.”

“It’s fine, I can wait.”

Chen Li said without hesitation, “Just book her next available time slot for me.”

“Alright, I've registered that for you. Would you like to rest in the room or head back to the lounge area for now?”

“I'll go down and wait.”

Since he was almost certain Liu Nansheng was here, Chen Li actually calmed down.

As long as he knew it was her, waiting a bit longer didn't matter. Either way, he wouldn't give up until he saw her today.

At the thought of Liu Nansheng's extraordinary looks, working in a place like this meant there were surely many guests willing to spend money on her. Chen Li felt a bit uncomfortable at the thought.

He wasn't sure what Liu Nansheng's specific situation was now. If she had already been with too many people, then it wouldn't really mean much to him anymore.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a bit melancholy.

When he returned to the e-sports room, his three friends were still immersed in their intense game.

Seeing Chen Li return so quickly, Guo Zihong asked without looking back, “Washing your face? Finished so soon?”

“Just wait. Come on, come on, let's play a few more rounds...” Chen Li put his headset back on and gripped his mouse.

Wu Qiang and the others looked at each other—he was bad at it but loved to play.

Not long after, Zhang Yixi and the others also got tired of gaming and discussed going to experience the Hot Spring area—

They soaked in the misty Hot Spring pools until their bodies felt comfortable, then went to the sauna to work up a thorough sweat, and finally each went to choose a massage service to relax their muscles and bones.

Only Chen Li remained alone in the lounge area, waiting absentmindedly on the sofa, his gaze frequently glancing at the number plate on his wrist.

About half an hour later, that long-silent handplate finally lit up with a red halo under his expectant gaze and gave a slight vibration.

He immediately got up and walked quickly toward the third floor.

The same waiter was waiting at the front desk, smiling as she led him to another room. After a while... “Hello, I'm the technician. May I come in?”

A clear and pleasant female voice came from outside the door, completely different from the previous one.

“Please enter.” Chen Li took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound calm.

The moment the door was gently pushed open, the system's information instantly reflected in his mind like a precision scanner:

【Liu Nansheng】

【Affection Level: 0】

【Figure: 93】

【Appearance: 94】

【number of times kun: 0】

【number of kunners: 0】

Seeing this set of data, Chen Li felt as if something was blocking his throat. An indescribable excitement surged in his heart, and his eyes even felt a bit warm.

He had finally found her. What made him even more ecstatic was that her data was actually so pure and flawless.

A score of 94 for Appearance was one point higher than his Qingcheng. This overall data was the highest score he had encountered so far.

Her Figure wasn't the eye-catching voluptuousness of Qin Xiaomeng, but rather an overall harmony, a perfect 'just right.'

That exquisite face seemed to have been meticulously carved by the Creator; no flaw could be found in the distribution of her features, making it impossible to look away.

Liu Nansheng felt Chen Li's unmasked, direct stare, and a wave of disgust immediately welled up in her heart.

She had been working here as a facial technician for nearly a year and had seen too many guests look at her with that kind of gaze. Every time, it made her feel as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly.

The young man in front of her looked like a rich second-generation heir. Right now, he was probably already calculating how to ask her out after the service was over.

She had seen plenty of people like this.

From her cold and distant expression, Chen Li could tell she clearly had no impression of him.

It made sense. Back in High School, he was as ordinary as a background character. How could this goddess, who was famous throughout the school, have ever noticed him? Even if they were in adjacent classes.

Just how was he going to ask her out to talk?

One could guess with their toes that with Liu Nansheng's looks, the guests who wanted to ask her out were surely as numerous as carp crossing a river.

But looking at the system data, so far, no one had succeeded...
