Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?

After a while, amid Zhao Wanting's steady breathing, Wen Nan put down his arm and slowly sat up.

Zhao Wanting is not [the Queen].

Having confirmed this, Wen Nan glanced out the window at the sky.

The time spent indulging always flies by quickly; in the blink of an eye, it was almost noon, and the time for his second main task was becoming more and more pressing.

Turning over and getting out of bed, Wen Nan simply washed, dressed neatly, and left the guest room.

As Wen Nan walked out of the elevator lobby, Yu Shujun silently returned to his side.

While the two of them walked side by side out of the hotel, Wen Nan glanced intriguingly at the person beside him.

Yu Shujun sensed the other's questioning gaze and furrowed his brow lightly, "What?"

Wen Nan thought for a moment and still asked, "With Zhao Wanting… why didn't you mess things up?"

Yu Shujun lifted an eyelid and gave him a sidelong glance, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Wen Nan nodded.

Hm, still as stubborn as ever.

Previously unwilling to admit to causing trouble, now naturally won't answer why he didn't cause trouble.

Yu Shujun observed the other's expression, lowering his eyelids to mask the fleeting guilt in his eyes.

...

...

The two of them walked into the campus, just about to turn onto Wutong Avenue, which led to the blood donation vehicle stop, when a figure approached.

"Senior!" Li Fang came over from the entrance of the Science Department's Third Cafeteria, bowing her head, "Senior, I'm sorry, last... last time during my birthday, it seemed someone drugged the private room, and the classmates present all weirdly fell into a daze. Several of them were later sent to the hospital for checks.

"It wasn't until I woke up the next day in the hospital that I found out about it. By then, you were nowhere to be found. I wanted to contact you to ask about the situation, but my friends argued fiercely over this, shoving the blame, and many said you were a suspect too. I was... I was afraid you'd get innocently caught up in this mess because of them, so I didn't contact you.

"Dragged it out till now, seeing you come over, I couldn't help it and still wanted to say something..."

Wen Nan listened intently to Li Fang's account, trying to discern her stance from her words.

Seeing Wen Nan not speak, Li Fang grew uneasy and hesitantly asked, "Are you... will you be angry with me because of this?"

Wen Nan shook his head. Just as Li Fang was about to sigh in relief, she heard Wen Nan continue to ask, "In that room, who drugged it, was it cleared up later?"

Li Fang's breath caught, her face instantly turning pale, muttering, "No... no, it's still unclear who exactly."

Wen Nan stared at her face, meanwhile, in his mind, using the system to activate his skill.

9527: [Your skill Mind Reading Technique has activated, with a total activation time of 10 minutes.]

Li Fang's inner voice immediately resounded in his mind—

'Senior, I like him, I really like him, so much…'

Again, the affection for Wen Nan.

Last time in the karaoke room at Qian Gui KTV, what Wen Nan had read was Li Fang's fondness for him from deep in her heart. Back then, Wen Nan thought if someone could still be filled with secret love for him before falling asleep in such a crisis, then she wouldn't likely be the suspect.

However, now it seemed Wen Nan's judgment might have been wrong.

Li Fang's secret love for Wen Nan was much deeper than he had imagined.

Was it because the character background in the introduction was like this from the beginning? Or was it that Wen Nan, with his full charm, made her quickly fall in love during their brief interaction, and from then on, whenever she saw Wen Nan, her mind was filled with nothing else?

But no matter what, if Li Fang could feel guilty yet secretly confess affection, then surely back in the private room, she could also plan that drugging incident while speaking of her secret love.

If that's the case, then Li Fang's suspicion becomes heavy again.

"Senior, why do you keep looking at me like that? Do you... not believe what I said?"

'Senior is suspecting me…'

'But I really like Senior, like him so much that I ignored advice to come find him…'

Advice? Someone advised Li Fang not to approach Wen Nan? Was it those friends she mentioned earlier?

"Earlier, you said your friends were suspecting me, right?" Though it was risky to ask directly about alliances, as it could trigger a deafening scream in his mind, Wen Nan tried asking more subtly, "With those friends of yours, do they intend to harm me or win me over?"

Li Fang furrowed her brows at first and pondered. When she realized the implication behind Wen Nan's words, she suddenly widened her eyes in terror, shaking her head repeatedly, "No... no, I don't know, I can't say..."

'With your status, you can't ask! With my status, I can't disclose!'

'With your status, you can't ask! With my status, I can't disclose!'

...

And there it was again, the increasingly shrill and piercing cries filled Wen Nan's mind once more.

Even attempting indirect questioning was impossible? Is this system so strict this time?

The shrill noise grew more annoying, forcing Wen Nan to clutch his head, hunching over, waiting for the deafening shouting to end.

Fortunately, this time he learned his lesson and didn't compound it with Tears of the Flower, or else he would have had to endure an additional 20 minutes.

Several minutes later, the ear-piercing noise in his mind finally subsided.

The surroundings gradually quieted down, and as Wen Nan regained his composure, he noticed Li Fang kneeling on the ground in front of him, one hand cupping his face, anxiously asking, "Senior, can you hear me? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Please don't scare me."

Wen Nan shook his head and smiled at Li Fang, "I'm fine, just... maybe I skipped breakfast and got a bit hypoglycemic."

Li Fang, hearing this, felt relieved and smiled, "Senior, why didn't you say so earlier? Let's go to the third cafeteria, I'll treat you to a meal?"

Wen Nan nodded in agreement, glancing back, noticing that Yu Shujun had vanished without a trace.

At the cafeteria, Wen Nan randomly ordered a few dishes, and they found a corner seat to sit down.

Wen Nan glanced at Li Fang, sitting bolt upright beside him, "You're not eating?"

Li Fang shook her head, "I've already eaten."

Wen Nan looked at his plate, picked up a dish of shrimp balls, and pushed it over, "These balls taste good, wanna try?"

Li Fang shook her head, "I'm allergic to shrimp, I can't eat that."

Wen Nan then offered a bottle of yogurt to Li Fang.

Li Fang accepted the yogurt but just held it in her hand, not drinking it.

After several offers, Wen Nan sent over quite a few items, yet Li Fang was unwilling to take a bite.

At this point, Wen Nan realized the person opposite was likely guarded against him, deliberately not accepting the food he offered.

Was it vigilance from the beginning, or does she have other experts advising her?

Either way, it seemed that Wen Nan's [Truth Serum] wasn't going to be used this time.

Once he realized this, Wen Nan stopped trying to give her food, instead earnestly focusing on the meal on his tray.

The food at the school cafeteria mostly had a taste hard to describe, but having not properly eaten in a while, Wen Nan was surprisingly eating with relish. He suddenly somewhat understood why Hu Jiayao had once huddled in the restroom eating from a lunchbox.

In the midst of his meal, someone lightly tapped the fingers of his hand resting by his side.

The hand holding a slice of meat paused slightly, and Wen Nan realized it was the person beside him trying to secretly hold his hand.

Wen Nan indulged the other's small gesture, continuing to focus on the meal in his bowl.

Next to him, Li Fang gently held Wen Nan's hand, carefully observing his every move from the corner of her eye.

Since he didn't withdraw his hand, implicitly allowing them to hold hands, Li Fang pressed her lips in satisfaction, bowing her head, rejoicing silently for a moment until that wasn't enough for her anymore.

She quietly moved closer to Wen Nan, then bent down, attempting to swiftly peck his face while he was unaware, retreating before he could react.

However, just as she was about to extend her lips, the person opposite suddenly turned around, coming so close that their noses almost touched.

Startled, Li Fang hurriedly sat up straight, lowering her gaze, stammering, "Senior, I... I'm sorry, I, I..."

"Do you like me?" Wen Nan interrupted her.

"Ah, I..." Having her long-held secret exposed, Li Fang was flustered, her face flushed, her heart racing, unable to think straight, not knowing how to respond, "I, I don't—"

Li Fang's words came to an abrupt stop.

She noticed the person beside her leaning in, his handsome face magnifying in front of her, growing closer and closer until it almost touched hers.

Li Fang was frozen, unable to breathe, almost as if her heart had stopped.

"Wanna try?" Wen Nan smiled lightly at her.

Li Fang sat there a bit dazed, forgetting to respond.

Wen Nan chuckled softly, leaning forward proactively, bringing his lips coated with [Truth Serum] to the edge of hers.
