Ultimate Scheming System

1514 I’m Very Helpless Too!

Xu Que and Xuanyuan Wanrong had been walking together along the long, winding road that passed through the campus, with a shady forest of weeping willows on both sides. The atmosphere had been serene and comforting.

After Xu Que’s memory had been restored, and, later, looking back on this experience, he’d remembered that he’d actually felt an inexplicable sense of nostalgia and warmth.

He hadn’t talked much with Xuanyuan Wanrong. He’d walked ahead of her and reveled in the memories of his past. He’d thought that he’d finally found some peace after undergoing so many dangers and vicissitudes.

“Unfortunately, this is not the real world. It’s just the world of my memory.” Xu Que sighed. Although it wasn’t the real world, he could still enjoy it.

He’d recalled what Xuanyuan Wanrong had said before the System had restored his memory, and he’d guessed more or less what was going on at this moment.

The Relationship Tribulations had allowed Xuanyuan Wanrong and him to enter the world of his memory so as to compete for the position of each other’s first love.

The difficulty factor was actually extremely high in this endeavor.

The first love of anyone always occupied the pride of place in their hearts. The position was one of those memories that was exceedingly cherished, and it would be very difficult to change how one felt about it.

After all, a first love symbolized everyone’s purest beginnings. Naive and unsure, the first awakenings of love didn’t take into consideration any of the external factors that would complicate things in later life. One only followed the heart and not physical urges... These kind of feelings would be impossible to replicate, and eventually physical urges would take over.

But most people still thought of their first loves as their best loves, precisely because they had been very pure. The memories surrounding them were always tinged with regret at chances lost, and this made them even more beautiful.

To Xu Que, who had experienced two full lifetimes, who had seen a much larger world than most people could even imagine, who had killed countless beings, and who had stepped on the path to a more enlightened life style, the past remained firmly in the past, and he no longer missed it at all.

When thinking back to his first love, Lin Yuxi, Xu Que couldn’t remember their love as it had been. It didn’t even awake the same sort of nostalgic feelings as this willow-lined road through campus.

Therefore, Xu Que felt that the difficulty level of this first round of Relationship Tribulations was not that high. After all, he had already restored his memory and was no longer the person he had been in the university era.

But the question remained. Was he going to be able to make himself like Xuanyuan Wanrong?

Here, the difficulty factor was really quite high.

He had to try to figure out what was good about this woman.

In addition to her strength that was extremely powerful, her beauty that could be compared to Jiang Hongyan’s, and her body was as hot as Liu Jingning’s, what else was there good about her?

“This is tiresome, really tiresome, and it does seem ridiculous to lose my life just because I can’t bring myself to like her.” Xu Que mulled it over as he walked, having a hard time finding his way out of this difficulty.

Xuanyuan Wanrong was walking behind him. She seemed a bit perplexed and even doubtful. She’d had the feeling that the Xu Que who was present now seemed a little different from the previous Xu Que, but she couldn’t specifically pinpoint what the differences were.

Because actually this Xu Que appeared to be more familiar to her than the previous Xu Que.

As they’d walked along, they were getting closer to the school buildings, and the number of students that they’d encountered began to increase.

Good-looking young men like Xu Que were plentiful at the university, but it was pretty much impossible to find another extremely attractive woman with such dignified manners as Xuanyuan Wanrong in the entire country, not to mention the university.

The fact that she was also dressed in a white period costume made her especially noticeable and bound to attract attention, especially from the young men.

In fact, many of the students that passed them on their walk thought she looked like a fairy from heaven.

“D*mn, that’s some girl!”

“A beautiful woman!”

“Oh. my God, she’s amazing, am I dreaming? Since when does our school have such a beauty on campus?”

“Campus belle Lin is going to suddenly feel that she has been surpassed and dispatched by a rival.”

“Is that a traditional Han Chinese costume? No, I don’t think that’s a traditional costume. Maybe she’s a famous actress?”

“Wait a minute, she seems to be following the guy in front of her!”

“Who’s that guy?”

The crowd had shifted their gazes from Xuanyuan Wanrong to the guy who she seemed to be following. Soon their attention focused on Xu Que.

Someone exclaimed, “F*ck, it’s Xu Que, that b*stard!”

“Xu Que? The campus winner of the top ten singer contest, the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examinations, the guy who has taken all the scholarships for this academic year, and also the one who is in pursuit of Lin Yuxi every day?”

“D*mn, how did that fool get to know such a beautiful woman?”

“He must have conned her somehow? He is shameless. He can get away with murder.”

Many of the people who’d recognized Xu Que were suffering from pangs of jealousy. They were mostly men.

In a place like a university campus, someone like Xu Que could almost be called a public enemy of all the other men. He was a little too good-looking and also a top student. He also had a terrible, shameless character. Once he’d decided to make a move, most of the girls frankly found it difficult to escape his clutches.

However, from the time when Xu Que had been a freshman, he’d had eyes only for Lin Yuxi from the moment he’d arrived on the campus.

As one of Lin Yuxi’s many suitors, Xu Que had become a little famous. Many people felt that his success rate was comparable to that of the Xia family’s young master, Xia Luoqing

Xia Luoqing was the young master of a renowned family in the country’s capital. He was outstanding and distinguished and also one of Lin Yuxi’s most ardent suitors. Both he and Xu Que were close to Lin Yuxi.

After all, everyone on campus with eyes could see that although Xia Luoqing’s material conditions were superior to Xu Que’s, it seemed as if he’d had fewer chances to get close to Lin Yuxi. Instead, Xu Que had always been able to grab a seat next to Lin Yuxi in class. He’d also been able to first grab any book that Lin Yuxi wanted to read from the library and then wait for Lin Yuxi to come find him and ask for it. Even during mealtimes in the canteen, he’d been also able to be thick-skinned enough to sit at the same table with Lin Yuxi and all her female friends.

His key asset was his mouth. He was able to make Lin Yuxi and the other girls laugh again and again.

Therefore, many people couldn’t ignore Xu Que’s existence. He was an influential figure on the campus.

But at this moment, many people felt that there was something fishy about this scene, and they were overwhelmed with curiosity when they saw him walking with an exceedingly beautiful girl in period costume on campus.

“Where are you taking me?” Xuanyuan Wanrong spoke up and asked Xu Que.

She’d found that there were more and more people around, and everyone’s eyes seemed to be focused on her and Xu Que. All these people were gossiping about them, and Xuanyuan Wanrong wanted to find out what Xu Qu was planning to do.

“Obviously, we need to go rent a room,” Xu Que replied hastily without turning his head back to look at her. The streets that were around the back gates of the campus had a lot of restaurants and hotels.

But when he’d answered her, he’d spoken in such a loud voice with no attempt at concealment that it had reached the ears of the countless students who were milling around.

No one who’d heard his words was very surprised. After all, Xu Que was known for being shameless, and everyone knew there wasn’t much that he wouldn’t be capable of saying. The guy was probably making a joke.

However, Xuanyuan Wanrong looked confused and asked, “Why are you renting a room?”

“Didn’t you say you wanted me to quickly like you? In our world, the fastest way to start to like a person is to rent a room. To rent a room means we let each other trust one another fully, talk freely about life, gain in-depth understanding of and deeply explore each other.” Xu Que explained all this with a straight face.

Xuanyuan Wanrong suddenly nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, “I see, very well, you’ve made a very wise choice.”

“What?”

Hearing this conversation, the nosy people who’d been listening in on their conversation stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

“What is wrong with this fairy sister?”

“Don’t tell me she really doesn’t know what it means to rent a room...”

“What the f*ck, Xu Que you animal, you’re actually tricking her to bed and also doing it so openly and publicly?”

“What? To let each other trust one another fully, talk freely about life, gain in-depth understanding and deeply explore each other,...can this deceitful filthy scumbag be any more shameless?”

“Goddess, don’t be cheated by him. He’s taking you to rent a room just to take advantage of you.” Finally, a boy on the scene couldn’t help but shout.

Of course, the minute someone took the lead, others naturally followed suit and shouted at Xuanyuan Wanrong also.

“That’s right, this guy is not a good man.”

“Fairy sister, don’t be fooled!”

“Xu Que, how can you be so shameless? Haven’t you been courting Lin Yuxi? And now, at the same time, you’re making love with someone else?”

“Quick, whoever knows Campus Belle Lin’s phone number, better let Campus Belle Lin see the true colors of this beast.”

Everyone yelled indignantly at the injustice of it. Most people did it out of jealousy, pure and simple.

Xu Que smiled. It was only because the System beep had just rung out in his mind. He had gained more than 20 Acting Tough Points.

He couldn’t understand how his own System was gone from the world of his memory, but it had been replaced with a replicated version of the System. Everything seemed to have been restarted, and more than 20 Acting Tough Points for him at this time could be said to be a substantial sum of money. He could casually exchange the points for things, and it would be enough to crush many mortals.

Still, it was not enough.

The corners of Xu Que’s mouth curled up into a smile as he looked at the crowd and shouted, “My fellow schoolmates, don’t get agitated and don’t misunderstand what is going on here. This is really not a matter of me falling in love with someone else, nor am I fickle. But this big sister insisted on sticking to me, telling me that if I don’t like her, she will die together with me. What can I do? I’m very helpless too!”
