Why did the system take my request to take photos with a cosplayer seriously?

The door was pushed open, and a tall boy pushed in a three-tiered cake cart. The candle flames flickered in the dim light, illuminating his face.

He had a buzz cut, tanned skin, broad shoulders, and long legs. He wore a white T-shirt and sweatpants, and a pair of limited-edition Air Jordans.

Wow!!!

The girls tactfully stood up and made room for each other in the middle of the sofa.

Zhao Yanxi returned to Ding Heng's side, took his arm, and whispered in his ear.

"Zhang Jiekai," she said in a low voice, "Li Linna's boyfriend, he's in the same class as Wenjing."

Ding Heng nodded.

"A male dog in heat, he's had six girlfriends in three years. He even tried to pursue Wenjing back in the final year of high school."

Zhao Yanxi didn't mince words when she complained: "This male dog probably thought Wenjing was the kind of person who could be won over with a snap of his fingers, but in the end, I scared him back by threatening my dad."

Ding Heng smiled and joked, "Then I have to thank you."

Zhao Yanxi was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and nudged him with her elbow in an annoyed manner.

"Don't flatter yourself! I'm protecting Wenjing, what does that have to do with you?"

Ding Heng didn't dodge; instead, he put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him.

"Yes, yes, it has nothing to do with me."

"Humph!"

Zhao Yanxi gave a soft hum and finally leaned quietly against Ding Heng's chest.

Not far away, Zhang Jiekai knelt on one knee in front of Li Linna, looked up, his expression sincere, and his voice loud.

Happy birthday, Lina.

He took out a silver necklace with a pendant of a coiled dragon.

Li Linna covered her mouth, her eyes reddening, while the girls around her exclaimed in unison, "Wow!"

Ding Heng squinted at it, and the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed.

"This thing..."

He turned to Zhao Yanxi and asked, "Your friend doesn't mind?"

"dislike?"

Zhao Yanxi was puzzled: "This is the same trendy item as Longhe's, and the authentic one is very expensive. Li Linna is a die-hard fan of Longhe, and she's been talking about this necklace for ages."

Ding Heng: "..."

When he was ten years old, he gave Longhe an identical one, which cost him a full 10 silver dollars, the equivalent of two days' worth of breakfast money.

Zhao Yanxi continued to educate Ding Heng: "Legend has it that this necklace has a very important meaning to Long He. She has never taken it off since her debut. Fans say it is her lucky charm."

"puff……"

Ding Heng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

What important meaning could a pretentious necklace bought during a child's teenage rebellion possibly have?

Zhao Yanxi turned her head: "What are you laughing at?"

Did I laugh?

"Aren't you laughing?"

"I'm sorry, I just remembered something happy..."

Chapter 50: You're the most beautiful!

After the atmosphere had completely heated up, someone started a game of Truth or Dare in the private room.

An empty wine bottle is spun on the coffee table; whoever the bottle's opening points to has to choose it.

A dozen or so people were crammed onto the sofa, their laughter almost lifting the roof off.

Ding Heng drank two cups with him.

Zhao Yanxi leaned against him, and after the alcohol took effect, she unconsciously picked up the man's thick fingers and kneaded and played with them intermittently.

Ding Heng lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Where am I sleeping tonight?"

Yan hope's eyelashes drooped, and her tone sounded nonchalant.

"Whatever you want, I've already booked a room nearby, but if you don't want to stay in a hotel..."

She tilted her head back, and her sweet, ambiguous scent brushed against Ding Heng's lips.

"You can come to my house too, if you dare."

The bottle spun around twice more, its neck wobbling, before finally stopping in front of Zhao Yanxi.

"oh--!!!"

A chorus of cheers erupted from the private room.

Li Linna grabbed the microphone: "Truth or Dare?"

"The truth."

Zhao Yanxi answered fluently.

"Then I'll ask—"

Li Linna drew out her question, exchanging knowing glances with the girls next to her: "First kiss, when?"

"A month ago."

Zhao Yanxi did not hesitate at all.

That awkward and hasty kiss, given to appease Tang Hainuo.

The bottle spun again, this time pointing towards Ding Heng.

Ding Heng put down his wine glass: "I'm speaking from the heart too."

Li Lina asked with ill intent, "Same question! When was your first kiss?"

Ding Heng thought for a moment and responded calmly.

"Just like Yan hope."

"oh--!!!"

The jeers nearly lifted the roof off.

Zhao Yanxi smiled and looked very happy, but secretly poked Ding Heng's side with her fingertip.

Her voice was extremely low, so that only the two of them could hear: "You're lying, aren't you?"

Ding Heng lowered his head and replied, "Didn't we say we wouldn't spoil the fun?"

"Oh……"

Zhao Yanxi's fingers were still gently poking Ding Heng's waist, once, twice, like a kitten's paws scratching in retaliation.

Finally, it stopped.

She pursed her lips and didn't ask any further questions.

After playing a few more rounds, Ding Heng got up to relieve himself.

He had just stepped into the toilet stall and closed the door when he heard scattered footsteps outside, followed by the click of a lighter.

"Hey Zhang, did you finally win over that 'milk cow' in your class?"

"Don't even mention it, those cows were more difficult to handle than I imagined."

Zhang Jiekai's voice rang out, his tone irritable and angry.

"It's mainly that bitch Zhao Yanxi who interfered and ruined my plans."

"What a pity, the brothers are still waiting for you to give them some perks."

"What's the rush?"

Zhang Jiekai chuckled softly, and the smell of smoke filled the bathroom.

“My school is next to that dairy cow university. Once Zhao Yanxi is no longer protecting her, taking her down will be a piece of cake.”

The three of them chuckled softly. Suddenly, the door to the cubicle was pushed open, and Ding Heng walked out slowly.

He had no expression on his face, and naturally walked to the sink and turned on the faucet.

The sound of flowing water drowned out the brief silence.

Zhang Jiekai and his two companions stood frozen in place, forgetting to smoke their cigarettes, unsure if the other party had heard them call Zhao Yanxi a "bitch."

Zhang Jiekai forced a smile: "Hey bro, going to the bathroom?"

Ding Heng turned off the tap, shook the water off his hands, and ignored him.

"brother……"

Zhang Jiekai's smile faltered slightly: "Well, we were just joking earlier, we didn't watch our mouths, please don't take it personally. We have no problem with Yan hope, really!"

"fine."

Ding Heng interrupted him, turning his head and smiling.

The smile was ordinary, even friendly.

"But bro, not to be rude, but you guys seem a bit too repressed."

Zhang Jiekai was taken aback and didn't know how to respond.

Ding Heng looked at him, activating his True Sight Eye.

After Wenjing's purification value exceeds 90%, she gains a new upgraded ability.

Hypnosis, or more accurately, mind-guided sleep.

"Since we're all feeling so stifled, why don't we help each other out and not let ourselves get sick from holding it in?"
