Quick Transmigration: Will Even a Foolishly Popular Person Be Forced to Love Him?

Without Yun Zhi by his side, Jiang Ting, who doesn't take pressure, stopped acting altogether: "None of your business."

The system, equally unfazed by the pressure, calmly assigned Jiang Ting a few more tasks.

It glanced at the progress displayed behind the scenes, a progress only it could see, then looked at Jiang Ting, who was clearly infatuated with the beauty and acting like a sycophant:

[Host, are you really planning to stay in Cloud City all the time for the foreseeable future?]

When not intentionally speaking with human intonation, the system's mechanical voice is actually cold and impersonal.

Yuncheng is just a small place; it's not even the capital of Y Province.

Staying here all the time won't get you many rewards from daily check-ins, and you won't be able to trigger many high-level tasks. In the long run, it won't do you any good.

Jiang Ting raised his eyelids slightly, his eyes so deep they revealed no emotion: "That's enough."

The system chuckled silently, thinking with amusement: Is that enough?

That's really strange...

The desires of the host bound to the system are usually bound to expand infinitely, and they are completely insatiable, as greedy as a monster.

Jiang Ting was an outstanding figure among them, and the greed and ruthlessness that occasionally surfaced in his heart sometimes made even the system gasp in astonishment.

He said it was enough, which was simply laughable.

[Host, as your system, I feel it's necessary for me to remind you of something.]

While humans are adept at self-deception, there is nothing shameful about confronting one's deepest desires.

It bewitched him, saying:

What you possess now may seem like a lot to others, but for you, the host, it's nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

If you are complacent with the status quo and fail to strive for progress, you will only miss out on precious treasures.

If some unforeseen event occurs, perhaps there won't even be a chance to hold onto it tightly...

These pointed remarks undoubtedly caused the smile on Jiang Ting's face to vanish instantly.

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

[Host, you really like that human named "Yun Zhi," don't you?]

[It's normal to be attracted to someone when you're young. After all, such a pretty and cute girl is indeed endearing. But host, you seem to have put the cart before the horse...]

There was a subtle hint of malice in its tone:

Beauty fades into dust; even the most stunningly beautiful face is but a fleeting moment to someone like you, destined for endless time.

Being bound by emotions too early will only confuse your mind.

You like that human very much right now, but how long can you like her?

The system made a pretentious remark:

Humans are fickle and prone to changing their affections; lust and greed are ingrained in their nature. Are you really willing to stay in this small place, Y City, for her sake?

Jiang Ting's lips were pursed, his face was expressionless, and his voice was frighteningly calm.

"None of this concerns you."

The system feigned sadness: "I was just thinking of you, host."

Its tone was quite cryptic: "Host, don't you really think you're a little blinded by her?"

Just take it as me feeling indignant on your behalf.

The system, like a demon, whispered in Jiang Ting's mind:

You know, as a system, I have a few small privileges.

[Didn't you just sign in today and get a new reward?]

I feel like you might need to try it out...

……

Newly acquired things can be very useful or very useless.

It cannot directly transform a person, nor does it have the miraculous effect of killing or turning bones into powder.

It simply... can see people's goodwill.

【whether】

Jiang Ting lowered his eyes, and no one could see the emotions in them.

He extended his hand.

……

It was getting dark.

June weather is like a child's face, changing in an instant.

Before we knew it, dark clouds began to blanket the sky.

Yun Zhi didn't return, so Jiang Ting, who could always see her location, followed the GPS to find her.

When Jiang Ting went to look for her, Yun Zhi was walking on the street.

The pretty girl was wearing a simple, well-fitting red skirt and had her hair styled in an elegant braid. The ribbon bow in her hair was something he had personally pinned on.

As dusk settled, Yun Zhi stood there, radiant as a shining pearl, dazzling as a flame.

Jiang Ting got out of the car and watched her quietly from across the street.

Seemingly noticing Jiang Ting's gaze, Yun Zhi raised her eyes, her clear pupils immediately taking in his figure.

Jiang stopped and walked towards her instinctively, taking her hand in his.

It has a delicate and soft texture, with a hint of coolness from the outside.

Jiang Ting warmed her up a bit: "Why have you been outside for so long? It's going to rain soon, and you didn't even let me come pick you up."

Yun Zhi didn't speak, she just snorted.

Before she could shake him off, Jiang consciously loosened his grip: "Going home?"

"I just had milk tea, and now I want to take a walk." Yun Zhi looked at Jiang Ting with a matter of course.

Jiang Ting glanced at the dark clouds pressing down on the sky, calculated the time it would rain, and then glanced at Yun Zhi, who was clearly giving orders.

He sighed: "...Ten minutes."

Everyone knew it was going to rain heavily, and many people hurried home.

The two walked against the flow of people in the crowd, and gradually, there were hardly any people left on the road.

Y City is not a very large city, and some places in Yun County can even be described as small alleys and narrow lanes.

Jiang Ting held Yun Zhi's hand and looked at the young lady's fair and soft profile.

The two were quite different in stature, and from this angle, Jiang Ting could easily see the curve of her upturned eyelashes and her pursed lips.

So adorable, so captivating.

His fingers moved very, very lightly.

"Jiang Ting, what are you thinking about?"

Just then, Yunzhi suddenly spoke up and asked.

There was no one in sight. The wind blowing in her face began to howl and change its tune, making the stray hairs on Yun Zhi's cheeks a little messy, revealing her smooth forehead and clear eyes.

His shadow was reflected inside, yet it seemed as if it wasn't there at all.

Jiang Ting withdrew his hand, which seemed to be grasping at something.

He turned his face away, a hint of self-mockery in his expression, his voice soft and low: "...you."

"Me?" Yun Zhi tilted her head, as if she were smiling.

It wasn't the first time Yun Zhi had made fun of him, so Jiang Ting forced a smile and calmly admitted, "Yeah. I was thinking about you."

He was prepared to be ridiculed by the young lady.

But to Jiang Ting's surprise, Yun Zhi didn't say anything during those few seconds.

Just as Jiang Ting couldn't help but turn his face back to look at her, he suddenly heard her ask, "If you're thinking about me, why aren't you looking at me?"

Jiang Ting was taken aback.

A rare, slightly bewildered expression crossed his face as he stammered, "...Wh-what?"

Yun Zhi laughed again: "Idiot."

His eyes narrowed and his lips curled up, revealing a rare hint of cunning.

Then, standing on tiptoe, he very lightly placed a kiss on Jiang Ting's lips.
