Affection System: I have everything the goddess wants.

Cao Xu suddenly stopped laughing and casually asked, "Don't you have a boyfriend? Yuting said the other day that he's a top student from Peking University, and also your high school classmate, right?"

Duan Jianing's smile froze, then she put on a pitiful look and quickly explained, "Brother Xu, we're just high school classmates! I was foolish enough to agree to date him because he was a good student. There's nothing between us, we've only held hands, we haven't even hugged!"

She reached out and grabbed Cao Xu's arm, shaking it gently, her voice pleading, "Brother Xu, I'll break up with him right away, really, I'll text him right now and make things clear, okay?"

Cao Xu glanced down at her hand gripping his arm: "No need to break up, I allow you to have two relationships at the same time. However, when you're with me, just holding hands isn't enough, I want the meat."

He turned his head to look at Duan Jianing, his eyes deep and imposing: "Come home with me now, okay?"

Duan Jianing's cheeks flushed instantly, a hint of panic and shyness flashing in her eyes. She quickly lowered her head, her voice barely audible: "Brother Xu, I'm really not a casual girl. Although I've been in relationships before, I'm very clean. Don't say that..."

"Whether you're clean or not, I'll only know after I try," Cao Xu interrupted her, his tone unwavering. "I'll give you two choices: either get off now and we're even, or come home with me now. Don't dawdle. Think it over."

Duan Jianing's eyes instantly reddened, and tears streamed down her face. Her voice trembled with sobs, a mixture of grievance, resentment, and a lingering longing for Cao Xu: "Brother Xu, I really want to have a proper relationship with you. I genuinely like you. Please don't treat me like this, okay? I'll break up with him right away and only be good to you from now on, okay?"

Looking at her tear-streaked face, Cao Xu felt no pity, but rather a hint of amusement. He casually said, "If what you say is true, I will make it up to you properly after this is over."

Guo Degang once said that only those who have wronged you know how wronged you are. On the system panel, Duan Jianing's number of visitors clearly showed 0. Cao Xu deliberately did not believe her. To deal with this kind of vain and materialistic green tea, you have to first crush her self-esteem and break her wishful thinking before you can discipline her thoroughly.

Cao Xu didn't give her a chance to hesitate any longer: "I'll count to three. If you don't say anything, I'll take that as your agreement."

"one"

Duan Jianing froze, tears streaming down her face, but she bit her lower lip tightly and remained silent.

"two"

Cao Xu's voice did not pause at all.

Duan Jianing's body trembled slightly, but she finally gritted her teeth, nodded gently, tears falling onto her knees, her voice choked with sobs: "I...I'll go with you."

"It would have been better to do this earlier." Cao Xu curled his lips into a mocking smile, said no more, quickly started the car, and drove towards Gaoke Rongjing.

The carriage was silent except for Duan Jianing's suppressed sobs and the roar of the train.

Upon arriving at Gaoke Rongjing, Cao Xu led Duan Jianing into his large apartment and locked the door behind him.

The luxurious interior decoration made Duan Jianing pause for a moment, a hint of greed flashing in her eyes, which was then replaced by shyness and unease.

After everything was over, Duan Jianing curled up at the head of the bed.

"Now I believe you're telling the truth. But have you ever heard the saying?"

Duan Jianing lifted her tear-streaked face, looked at him blankly, shook her head, and said in a hoarse voice, "Wh...what did you say?"

"Napoleon once said that only soldiers who voluntarily help their officers clean up their guns after the war are good soldiers."

Cao Xu was startled, clearly feeling a warm current flow into his brain. His mind instantly became clear and transparent, as if a dusty lens had been thoroughly wiped clean. Even his breathing became lighter. This feeling of intellectual enhancement made his thinking speed visibly faster.

I haven't tested my photographic memory yet, but I should be able to avoid failing any courses in the future.

The ambiguous atmosphere in the room permeated the room once again, and it gradually subsided late at night.

Meanwhile, in the girls' dormitory, Lin Yuting was still sitting on the edge of her bed, feeling both angry and confused.

Her roommate's words kept echoing in her ears. Looking at the photos of herself and Cao Xu on her phone, and at those carefully selected and edited pictures, she felt regret for the first time. Was she really wrong?

I shouldn't have kept Cao Xu hanging, I shouldn't have trusted Duan Jianing so easily, and I shouldn't have pushed such a good person to someone else.

Thinking of Duan Jianing, she hasn't come back yet so late. Is she with Cao Xu?

She picked up her phone, hesitated for a long time, but ultimately didn't dial Cao Xu's number. She silently edited a message, deleted it repeatedly, and finally pressed cancel.
