Don't underestimate the poor and elderly; I was thrilled to refuse the class beauty's adva

Zhang Yifan felt a strange sense of unease.

Her gaze was fixed on Shen Zhiyi.

He completely ignored Zhang Yifan standing next to him.

It was as if he were just an insignificant background figure.

His tone was filled with an barely concealed sense of grievance and resentment.

"Who is he? Why is he standing next to you?"

Zhang Yifan was completely stunned.

He has lived for eighteen years and has heard classmates greet him, friends reminisce, and best friends complain.

But I've never heard a girl question another girl in this way before.

The tone, the posture, the sense of oppression—it was exactly like a betrayed unrequited lover confronting someone at their door.

His mind raced: Wait, what right does this girl have to ask that? Judging from her tone, she sounds like a heartbroken man who was dumped by a scumbag woman after his unrequited love.

I'm so chovy!!!

isn't it...

Shen Zhiyi's reaction was quite indifferent.

She looked at the short-haired girl in front of her, her face filled with helplessness and speechlessness.

Clearly, they were already used to the other person's neuroticism.

She sighed and retorted directly.

"This is my boyfriend, Zhang Yifan. Wang Wenting, aren't you being a little too nosy?"

In short, it effectively sealed off all relationships.

There was no room for maneuver.

After speaking, Shen Zhiyi turned her head and gave Zhang Yifan a brief explanation.

"She's the person I told you about before."

"Since junior high school, he's been deliberately provoking me and targeting the girls around me."

It felt like a bolt of lightning struck Zhang Yifan's mind.

He instantly recalled the words Shen Zhiyi had said to him at the beach.

"Since junior high school, there has been a girl who has been constantly provoking me. She would buy whatever I bought, and she would ask me what scores I got on tests. When we graduated, she even asked me if I could get into Tsinghua University."

At the time, he only thought the girl was very competitive, but now, considering the scene before him...

Wang Wenting's questioning tone, her reddened eyes, and her deliberate ignoring of him from beginning to end...

He understood completely.

He was completely stunned.

He was screaming wildly inside.

How is this a provocation?

This is unrequited love!

It was an extreme, twisted, and obsessive unrequited love that had been hidden for six whole years!

Six years of imitation, six years of benchmarking, six years of relentless struggle.

She never wanted to win against Shen Zhiyi.

She just wanted to get as close to Shen Zhiyi as possible.

I want to keep up with the other person, I want to stand beside them.

To outsiders, he is their lifelong nemesis.

It was essentially a long, unrequited love that dared not be spoken aloud and could only be disguised by a fierce competition.

Just as Zhang Yifan was frantically reviewing the truth in his mind.

The word "boyfriend" hit Wang Wenting hard in the ears.

She froze on the spot.

Just now, there was a fierce look on his face, a sharp questioning tone, and an unyielding stubbornness.

It's reset in a second, disappearing completely.

Instead, it was utterly unbelievable.

His pupils dilated, and his face turned pale at a visible speed.

Those once bright eyes instantly turned red.

Six years of obsession, six years of catching up, six years of internal struggle.

She followed him all the way from junior high to Tsinghua University.

She thought that as long as she worked hard enough and was good enough, she could stay in Shen Zhiyi's world forever.

But at this moment, everything collapsed.

She stared intently at their clasped hands.

My throat tightened, and I couldn't say a word.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she forced them back.

She suddenly raised her hand to cover her mouth.

She was afraid that she would burst into tears on the spot and completely lose her composure.

He didn't say another word.

Wang Wenting turned around and ran quickly, almost in a disheveled state, plunging headlong into the depths of the girls' dormitory building corridor.

They disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Yifan watched the staggering figure run away, and before he could even feel anything, that familiar electronic voice suddenly exploded in his mind.

【Ding--】

[A key figure, Wang Wenting, was detected as having encountered the host.]

[Character profile loading... Wang Wenting, Shen Zhiyi's biggest rival in her career.]

The two have been rivals since junior high school, and after graduating from university, they both entered the business world, experiencing both successes and failures, and have been locked in a fierce competition for half their lives. They are collectively known as the "Two Golden Flowers of the Business World."

[Special point of contention: Like Shen Zhiyi, Wang Wenting remained unmarried throughout her life.]

[Task posted: A historic reconciliation.]

[Task Description: Get Shen Zhiyi and Wang Wenting to openly discuss the root of their long-standing conflict and achieve a genuine reconciliation.]

[Task Difficulty: Extremely Difficult]

[Reason: Wang Wenting genuinely wants to oppose Shen Zhiyi; it's absolutely impossible for the two to sit down and have a calm conversation. Furthermore, Shen Zhiyi is resolute, has her own judgment, and is not subject to the host's interference.]

[Mission Reward: Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+]

Zhang Yifan stood still and listened to the entire broadcast.

His expression shifted from confusion to shock, and then from shock to a blank stare that seemed to say, "Are you kidding me?"

This isn't just beef between two people, this isn't love!

Zhang Yifan was completely numb.

I stood there, frozen, my mind blank.

He finally saw through it completely.

Our own system is purely mechanical and artificially stupid.

I can't understand the complex emotions of humans at all.

In the cold, hard data of the system.

This is the lifelong battle between two brilliant women.

It's a beef that's been dragged on for over a decade, and it's a top-level showdown in the future business world.

It is a deep-seated contradiction that must be mediated and reconciled.

But in Zhang Yifan's eyes...

This is hardly a matter of personal grudges.

This is unrequited love!

It was an awkward, restrained, obsessive unrequited love that lasted the entirety of youth!

What is this about benchmarking and competing?

What business rivals?

What is this "Double Golden Flower" game?

It's all fake!

Wang Wenting's biggest obsession in life has never been to beat Shen Zhiyi.

She just wanted to be closer to Shen Zhiyi, even closer.

They were simply clumsily using confrontation to hold onto their only right to remain in the other's world.

The system allowed the two to talk about the source of their conflict and shake hands to make peace.

Zhang Yifan found it increasingly outrageous.

This is hardly a way to resolve conflicts.

This is clearly forcing Wang Wenting to reveal her true feelings in public!

It forced her to lay bare her six-year-old secret crush in front of Shen Zhiyi.

It was a disguised way of forcing her to complete a confession that was many years overdue and destined to be fruitless.

The system is earnestly trying to resolve business disputes.

In reality, it meant making him personally tear off the fig leaf that someone had been hiding for many years.

To forcibly and publicly execute someone who loves but cannot be loved in return.

The absurdity of it completely refreshed Zhang Yifan's understanding of the system.

He turned to look at Shen Zhiyi beside him.

The other person's face showed only helplessness and bewilderment.

In Shen Zhiyi's mind, Wang Wenting was a fiercely competitive, obsessive, and irrational rival.

She had no idea that all of the other person's hostility stemmed from a crush she dared not express.

Zhang Yifan stared at the empty dormitory entrance.

Let's take another look at this system task in my hand, which is so incredibly absurd.

I was completely at a loss for words, both laughing and crying.

Using someone else's system to make up for the regret of being impoverished in his later years.

His system is specifically designed to delve into the hidden pains of other people's youth.

Others get free rewards from the system, so they can just sit back and enjoy the ride.

He accepted the task of forcibly giving someone else the ending of a secret crush story.

And she's his love rival!

Although she is a woman...
