Affection System: I have everything the goddess wants.

Duan Jianing froze, her cheeks flushed red, and goosebumps rose all over her body.

She arched her back slightly and pleaded softly in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Brother Xu, it's so itchy... I was wrong."

Cao Xu's gaze remained fixed on the pages of his book, his tone carrying a hint of playful nonchalance: "You're both incompetent and love to play around. You think you can get away with this easily after making a mistake? No way."

Cao Xu's lips curled into a playful smile as he finally looked up at her: "If you want me to spare you, let's play a game. If you win, I'll let you go immediately; if you lose, you're at my mercy."

Duan Jianing's cheeks flushed red, her breathing became slightly rapid, and she quickly nodded, "Okay! I'll agree to anything!"

Cao Xu knew her strong intellectual attraction to sex, so he posed a question: "Go to the bookshelf and pick any book. I will quickly read through it, and then you can randomly select a book from the list. No matter which page or line it is, if I can't answer it, I lose."

Duan Jianing's eyes lit up instantly, a surge of confidence rising within her, her competitive spirit ignited: "I don't believe you're really that good! I'm going to find a super obscure book right now, let's see how you answer that!"

After saying that, she immediately got up, tiptoed, and carefully searched through the literature bookshelf next to her. She deliberately picked out a foreign literary novel translated into Chinese that was not very thick but extremely obscure. The content was obscure and extremely niche, and almost no one had read it.

Duan Jianing handed the book to Cao Xu, her eyes full of provocation: "Here you go, read it carefully! If you can't answer, you lose!"

Cao Xu took the book with a calm and composed expression, quickly scanning the pages.

The photographic memory ability rewarded by the system makes memorizing texts a piece of cake. I usually study English CET-6 and finance courses, so it's good to change things up and give my brain a break today.

In just twenty minutes, he read through the nearly one hundred pages of the obscure novel in its entirety, imprinting every word and sentence in his mind without a single mistake.

Cao Xu closed the book and casually handed it back to Duan Jianing: "Alright, take the test however you like."

Duan Jianing looked incredulous, but still held the book and randomly flipped to a page to check: "Page 24, line 5, what is the original text?"

Cao Xu didn't even lift his eyelids, and immediately began to speak, answering fluently and without missing a single word.

Duan Jianing refused to give up, and kept changing the page and randomly checking more than ten different details. Whether it was obscure lines, environmental descriptions or foreshadowing details, Cao Xu answered them all instantly, fluently and without any hesitation or mistakes.

At this moment, Duan Jianing was completely shocked.

She had always known that Cao Xu was exceptionally intelligent and capable, and that his remarkable achievements in the financial market at such a young age were extraordinary.

But she never imagined that there were actually people in real life who could truly have a photographic memory. This top-level talent, which only existed in novels and legends, actually appeared before her eyes.

Looking at the man beside her who was handsome, had a great physique, was wealthy, and was intelligent, Duan Jianing's admiration and worship reached their peak.

[System Notification: Duan Jianing's favorability has increased by 10 point, currently at 81 points!]

"Congratulations, host. Duan Jianing's favorability has been unlocked to 80. As a reward, you will receive a detached villa in Jinling Zhongshan Golf Club. The property rights are clear, all five certificates are complete, and the registration and transfer have been completed. You can go to the property management office at any time to register and collect the villa."

The luxury house reward arrived instantly, but Cao Xu remained unmoved, only glancing calmly at Duan Jianing, whose face was filled with shock.

"A bet's a bet, come with me."

Cao Xu stood up, took her slender wrist, and led her out of the reading area, heading straight for the library restroom.

After a long while, the two listened carefully to the noise, then left one after the other and returned to their seats.

Cao Xu wanted to continue studying, but Duan Jianing leaned closer and whispered, "Brother Xu, let's go first."

Cao Xu shook his head helplessly. "I knew I shouldn't have asked you to come. You're really affecting my studies. Let's go shopping."
