[Punishment for mission failure: Truth or Dare (The host will be unable to control themselves and will reveal their true thoughts for 24 hours)]

A series of light blue system notifications popped up, and Cheng Zhe's pupils dilated as he stared blankly ahead.

Lin Weiwei stood opposite him, and seeing that he hadn't responded for a long time, her cheeks turned even redder.

She lowered her head in a fluster, her voice shy: "Are you still angry with me? If you don't want to go... that's okay, I'll apologize to you later."

She lowered her head and circled two fingers, recalling the shameful things she had said in the interrogation room. She felt both ashamed and embarrassed, and didn't even have the courage to look up at Cheng Zhe.

Cheng Zhe snapped out of his daze. The system notification was still flashing before his eyes. He composed himself and suppressed his shock.

Cheng Zhe was also a little embarrassed at this moment. His gaze inadvertently swept over Lin Weiwei's slender figure, which was quite an eye-catching sight in the old neighborhood.

If there were a system, wouldn't it be possible to be with Lin Weiwei?

Thinking about it, a silly smile crept onto his lips.

Suddenly realizing what was happening, he noticed Lin Weiwei's embarrassed look and quickly explained, "No...no, you don't need to be so polite."

The words had barely left his mouth when the system immediately popped up a warning: "[Warning: Task countdown 10 seconds, 10...9...]"

The red countdown numbers made him panic.

He quickly changed his tune: "But if you really feel bad about it, we can have a simple meal together."

Lin Weiwei looked up at the question, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes, and quickly nodded, "Okay, then I'll book a restaurant nearby. Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

"No, anything is fine." Cheng Zhe shook his head, gripping the water bottle tightly in his hand, clearly still recovering from the shock of suddenly being bound to the system.

As soon as the words were spoken, the system notification refreshed: [Task completed. 10000 yuan has been transferred to your account. Please check.]

Cheng Zhe arranged a time with Lin Weiwei, watched her go back, and then walked to the side of the road.

After refreshing his account balance several times, Cheng Zhe finally smiled.

"It's really true! My balance really did increase by 10,000." My hand holding the phone was trembling.

At the same time, he caught a glimpse of the police station entrance out of the corner of his eye, and a figure walked out cursing.

A girl around 20 years old with glamorous makeup walked over.

She was wearing a light pink JK uniform, with knee-length black stockings under her short skirt and black leather shoes.

Her dyed blonde hair reached her waist, but she kept muttering, "Making a fuss over such a trivial matter, wasting my time, what bad luck."

"This girl has a completely different style from Lin Weiwei, but she's quite pretty too."

"Those black stockings look good too."

Cheng Zhe looked her up and down, thinking about the comparison between her and Lin Weiwei.

The moment I looked away, the other party caught me red-handed.

The girl stopped abruptly, glared at him, and snapped, "What are you looking at! Never seen a pretty girl before? You stinky loser!"

Cheng Zhe paused for a moment, then, without saying anything, continued to take a sip of water.

The girl, however, persisted, walking closer and looking at him defiantly with her head tilted back: "Look at you, you coward, try looking at me again!"

Cheng Zhe was speechless and was trying to avoid the conflict.

[Host's interest detected; target confirmed: Zhao Ya]

[Side Quest Triggered: Obtain Zhao Ya's Contact Information]

[Task Reward: 10000 in cash]

[Punishment for mission failure: Truth or Dare]

[Target preferences: assertive, proactive, and toxic men]

Zhao Ya's current favorability rating: -10

The light blue system notification that popped up in front of him startled him so much that he spat out the water in his mouth.

Cheng Zhe hurriedly wiped his mouth, thinking to himself, "I'm tempted again? What kind of lousy system is this?"

Zhao Ya was taken aback, took two steps back, and curled her lip in disgust: "Is it really that serious? Did I scare you so much you choked? You're so easily frightened, yet you dare to peek at me?"

He stared at the punishment for failure in front of him. If he didn't complete the task, wouldn't he be sentenced to death for the next 24 hours?

He glanced again at the arrogant girl in front of him and couldn't help but think to himself, "Are delinquent girls' preferences really that strange?"

"Who in their right mind would like a jerk? Is this girl out of her mind?"

Cheng Zhe hesitated for a moment, then braced himself and awkwardly asked, "Miss...Miss, could you give me your contact information?"

Zhao Ya looked him up and down, as if he were an idiot: "Why should I? You lowly loser dare to ask me for my contact information? A toad trying to eat a swan?"

She leaned forward again and poked Cheng Zhe's chest, her tone flippant.

"If you want it, you'll have to beg me on your knees. If I'm happy, I might just give it to you."

Cheng Zhe's expression was strange, and he didn't reply.

Zhao Ya, however, went even further, tiptoeing closer to his face and asking provocatively, "Do you like me? Are you interested in me?"

His words were full of teasing, and his eyes were also playful.

Seeing Zhao Ya's arrogant and provocative demeanor, he finally made up his mind.

"Don't blame me, you asked for this."

He suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhao Ya's wrist, making her gasp. He then pressed her against the wall next to him, and with his other hand, he pinched her chin, forcing her to look up and meet his gaze.

Cheng Zhe's movements were swift and ruthless, and his aura suddenly turned somber.

Caught off guard, Zhao Ya was pinned against the wall. A sharp pain shot through her wrist. Just as she was about to explode in anger, she met Cheng Zhe's sharp and domineering gaze, and the curse that was about to escape her lips suddenly caught in her throat.

She froze for two seconds, her cheeks inexplicably burning. She slowly closed her eyes, slightly pouting her lips, clearly ready for a kiss.

Cheng Zhe was stunned when he saw Zhao Ya pouting with her eyes closed.

What's with that kissing pose she's in?

The arrogant young woman who had been so cocky just moments before now had a slight blush on her cheeks, looking completely different from her previous brash self.

He released his grip on her chin and gently patted her flushed, hot cheeks.

"Snap! Snap!" Two soft sounds made Zhao Ya, who had been waiting with her eyes closed, open them and suddenly come to her senses.

"Who wants to kiss you?" Cheng Zhe's voice carried a deliberate forcefulness.

Looking her in the eye at close range: "Give me your contact information. Don't make me say it a third time."

She pouted, a little embarrassed, but still obediently took her phone out of her skirt pocket and handed it to Cheng Zhe.

"Sweep it." Her voice was much softer than before.

Cheng Zhe immediately took out his phone, quickly scanned the QR code, and sent a friend request.

[Ding! Task completed. 10000 yuan has been transferred to your account. Please check.]

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, took half a step back, and said in a normal tone, "Thanks."

Zhao Ya picked up her phone, glared at Cheng Zhe with a complicated expression, and muttered under her breath, "Coward...all talk and no action."

She glanced back at him after running away before quickly disappearing around the street corner.

On the other side, Cheng Zhe walked to the roadside and let out a long sigh.

Today was a day of ups and downs. I gained 20,000 yuan in my account and inexplicably got involved with a troublesome young woman.

Cheng Zhe rubbed his head, feeling that the system was acting erratically.

He then smiled; with this system, it seemed his single life was about to end.
