He tricked the female lead into becoming his boyfriend, but then went on to criticize the male lead.

Sang Jiuning found a shady spot under a tree, pretending to look at her phone, but actually observing secretly.

Before long, a figure caught her attention.

It was a boy, dressed in a simple white T-shirt and black casual pants, with a tall and straight posture and a cool and aloof demeanor.

Sure enough, he was carrying a thermos in his hand!

Although it wasn't the kind of obviously expensive item mentioned in the post, it still exuded a sense of refinement.

He was standing at the entrance of the teaching building, seemingly waiting for someone. His brows were slightly furrowed, and he looked somewhat impatient, but his eyes kept glancing towards the girls' dormitory.

Sang Jiuning's heart was pounding wildly.

Here they come! The target has appeared! With those looks, that figure, and that "eagerly awaiting" posture, he's definitely a top-notch simp candidate!

She took a deep breath, straightened her ponytail, and walked briskly towards Weng Zhicheng Road.

Get to know them first, then take things slowly.

She walked a few steps away from Weng Zhicheng, deliberately stumbled, and her phone fell to the ground with a "thud," the screen facing him.

"Ouch!" Sang Jiuning exclaimed softly, bending down to pick it up, while her eyes quickly scanned Weng Zhicheng's reaction from the corner of her eye.

Upon hearing the sound, Weng Zhicheng subconsciously looked down, his brows furrowing even more, seemingly displeased with this sudden situation, but he still didn't immediately look away.

Sang Jiuning picked up her phone, pretended to be annoyed, and patted off the dust. Then she looked up at Weng Zhicheng with a slightly apologetic and embarrassed smile: "Sorry, classmate, I wasn't looking where I was going."

Her voice was clear and crisp, with just the right amount of coquettish charm.

Weng Zhicheng's gaze fell on her face, his eyes calm and unwavering, as if he were looking at an insignificant passerby. He gave a faint "hmm" in response, and then turned his gaze back towards the girls' dormitory, clearly not paying attention to her.

This reaction was indeed indifferent, yet focused—focused on the female lead waiting for him.

Sang Jiuning chuckled inwardly, but remained outwardly calm. Instead, as if making conversation, she glanced curiously at the thermos in his hand: "Hey classmate, are you... bringing breakfast to your girlfriend? It smells delicious."

When the word "girlfriend" was mentioned, Weng Zhicheng's eyes seemed to flicker slightly, but he quickly regained his cool demeanor and said in a calm tone, "No."

"Oh?" Sang Jiuning drawled, feigning sudden realization, "So it's for the girl you like? How thoughtful."

As she spoke, she secretly observed Weng Zhicheng's expression, trying to find a trace of shyness or panic on his face as if his thoughts had been exposed.

However, Weng Zhicheng simply hummed in response again, this time without even turning his head, clearly not wanting to continue the topic.

His patience seemed to be running out, and his fingers unconsciously tapped the side of the thermos.

Sang Jiuning knew when to stop, understanding that one shouldn't go too far with a first attempt at flirting, or it could easily cause offense.

She gave a kind smile: "Then I won't disturb you while you wait for her. Thank you for not bumping into me earlier. My name is Sang Jiuning, and I'm in the English department."

She proactively introduced herself with her name and department, thus completing the first step of "becoming a familiar face".

This time, Weng Zhicheng didn't even bother to say "hmm," he just turned slightly to the side, which was considered as acquiescing to her departure.

Sang Jiuning didn't mind his coldness and waved casually, "Then I'll be going now. I wish you... success soon!"

After saying that, he turned around and left with light steps, but in his mind he was already planning his next move.

This Magistrate Weng is indeed quite interesting.

She's aloof and persistent.

It's more satisfying to snatch such a "high-quality simp"!

She glanced back at the boy who was still standing there, his tall figure exuding a hint of loneliness, and a determined smile appeared on her lips.

Su Qingyan, your number N simp, I, Sang Jiuning, have reserved him!

The next morning, she sent another message:

[Girlfriend's here, hurry up and approve!]

It didn't pass.

Day 3:

[How could you not reply to such a cute girlfriend?]

Day 4:

I knew from the first glance that you were my destined boyfriend.

Day 5:

Please approve this, or I'll cry.

……

From then on, Sang Jiuning spent her days either attending classes, working part-time at a milk tea shop, or, without fail, sending out a different witty message every time she applied for a job.

From acting cute and charming to making a domineering declaration, they come up with all sorts of tricks and persevere relentlessly.

Her roommate, Su Qingyan, would occasionally see her grinning foolishly while glued to her phone and would gently ask, "Jiu Ning, who are you chatting with?"

Sang Jiuning looked up, smiling brightly, "It's nothing, just saying hello to my future boyfriend."

Su Qingyan looked blank and didn't ask any more questions.

Sang Jiuning was secretly delighted.

Once she wins over this second-best simp, who is affectionate, wealthy, and obedient, and who revolves around her every day, wouldn't that be incredibly satisfying?

As for the female lead's crazy rant about the male lead?

Whoever wants it can have it; she wouldn't dare get involved.

And so, Sang Jiuning persisted relentlessly, bombarding the area for a whole month.

On the thirtieth night, lying in bed, she casually sent another message:

It's been a month! If you still don't agree, I'm going to make a scene!

The phone pinged as soon as the message was sent.

ZC has accepted your friend request.

Sang Jiuning sat up abruptly, her eyes wide open.

pass!

It's finally over!

She was so excited she almost rolled over on the bed.

My fingers flew across the keyboard as I typed a line of text and sent it:

[Boyfriend~ You finally approved! From today onwards, I'm your girlfriend!]

After a few seconds of silence, the other end replied with a single word:

【it is good. 】

Sang Jiuning: !!!

So obedient?

Is it that easy to manipulate?

He really is the female lead's devoted admirer!

She held her phone, a smug smile on her face.

Such a gentle and obedient boyfriend, who lets her flirt with him, is definitely hers!

Nobody can take it!

Sang Jiuning happily began to plan how to completely control this "simp boyfriend".

Unbeknownst to them, on the other end of the WeChat conversation, the man with the blank profile picture stared at the screen, his dark eyes swirling with an intense and obsessive dark light.

His fingertips gently traced the words "girlfriend" on the screen, and a faint, almost manic smile slowly crept onto his lips.

girlfriend?

well.

If someone comes to you willingly, don't even think about running away.

Sang Jiuning never expected that her path of "taming a simp" would be so "twists and turns".

It actually took a month, but according to the novel's setting for a simp, he should be completely obedient to the female lead, come and go as he pleases, and have his heart and eyes completely devoted to the radiant female lead, Su Qingyan.

However, hard work pays off.

Sang Jiuning excitedly sent a message: [Boyfriend, I don't have class tomorrow, Saturday. How about we meet up and go on a date?]
