Chapter 158: Another Campus Beauty?

“No! One more!”

How could Lin Fan possibly let her leave? He was only one kiss away from filling her favorability meter. Ending things now would be such a letdown.

Caught up in the moment, he grabbed Zhang Yichen by the arm and pulled her into his embrace.

“Ah! What are you doing?” Zhang Yichen cried out, feigning anger as her face flushed with embarrassment.

“Just one more peck. The last one…”

Lin Fan pointed at his left cheek. “You kissed my right cheek twice, but only once on the left. The left side is still missing one…”

“I’ve already kissed you three times. Isn’t that enough?” Zhang Yichen rolled her eyes.

“Don’t push your luck, or I’ll tell Miss Su!”

A single man and a single woman alone in the same room—she was worried that Lin Fan might grow bolder and demand even more. The thought made her unwilling to indulge him.

“It’s only one kiss. I’m not going to take advantage of you.”

Lin Fan simply imitated her, closing his eyes and acting coy like a child.

“Hmph! You’re getting more and more outrageous…”

Her heart pounded like a startled deer. Zhang Yichen wondered whether her suggestive behavior earlier had made Lin Fan think about using his influence to force her into an intimate relationship.

The thought made her even less willing.

But when she saw Lin Fan sitting motionless with his head tilted up, she hesitated for several seconds before shyly pecking him on the left cheek.

The next second, the system notification rang.

[Ding! Zhang Yichen’s favorability has reached 100. Congratulations, Host, on successfully turning the tables! Reward: Five attribute points!]

“I finally won her over. Put all five points into talent!”

Lin Fan was overjoyed and chose without hesitation to assign every attribute point to talent.

The higher one’s talent, the faster one could learn anything compared with others!

[Talent +5. Current talent: 20]

Lin Fan then checked his status panel again. His character was currently Level 1, and he needed to win over two more goddesses before leveling up.

Every time he won over three goddesses, his character level would increase by one.

At present, there were several women he had selected as targets: Zhang Yi, Miao Tiantian, Qiao Xinxin, and Lin Mu.

Zhang Yi had the highest favorability toward him, reaching 90. He needed only ten more points to win her over completely.

Next came Miao Tiantian and Qiao Xinxin, both of whom had favorability ratings of 70.

Zhang Yi would be relatively easy, but Miao Tiantian and Qiao Xinxin were now as close as sisters. Raising their favorability was far more difficult than winning over either one of them alone.

If only he had acted decisively from the beginning. Now that things had dragged on this long, neither woman’s favorability toward him had increased or decreased.

He would probably have to do what he had done with Zhang Yichen and provide them with different resources—web dramas, endorsements, variety shows, and the like.

“Wow, are you planning to stay here forever?” Zhang Yichen pinched him and directly ordered him to leave.

She thought Lin Fan was about to go too far. Several classmates were staying in the rooms next door. If word got out, how could she ever face them again?

Although Liu Yimeng and the others had already tacitly assumed that she and Lin Fan were unusually close, the two of them had never actually done anything.

But the longer Lin Fan stayed, the more easily people would misunderstand.

“I’m leaving now…”

Lin Fan came back to himself, nodded with a mischievous grin, and slipped out of the room in a flash.

The next day.

Lin Fan did not return to Hangzhou. He planned to meet Lin Mu and discuss terminating his contract with Galaxy Entertainment. Lin Mu had agreed to meet him as well.

However, she had asked him to wear a mask when they met, so that no one would recognize him.

This puzzled Lin Fan. Lin Mu had not officially debuted yet. Her new song was still being produced, and she had not even filmed a movie. She had only gained a little online attention because of her extraordinarily beautiful appearance and her close relationship with Li Li.

In the entertainment industry, however, she was still practically unknown—a student at the Magic City Institute of Dramatic Arts. Plenty of people there had become famous at a young age, so he could not understand why she was being so mysterious.

It was nearly one o’clock before Lin Fan finally saw Lin Mu.

She had brought a companion with her.

Although Lin Mu wore a mask and dressed conservatively, her innate presence was impossible to ignore. As she walked toward him, it was as though she were striding down a runway. She seemed born to be a model, especially with her graceful, perfectly proportioned figure and lotus-like steps.

Lin Fan removed his mask first and greeted the two women.

Lin Mu did not speak. Instead, her companion spoke first.

“So you’re Lin Fan? You really do look rather ordinary.”

Lin Fan froze for a moment. Why did she sound as though she disliked him?

His charm value had now risen to 21. He looked completely different from the country bumpkin he had once been, and could now at least pass for a cultured man.

Even Zhang Yichen and the others had wondered whether he had undergone cosmetic surgery or attended some kind of personal-development course, since his entire bearing had improved so much.

Yet in the eyes of these two girls, he was still so ordinary?

“If I weren’t ordinary, how could I highlight the extraordinary beauty of two goddesses?” Lin Fan said jokingly.

“I didn’t expect you to be such a smooth talker. Mu Mu, you’d better be careful. Don’t let his sweet words deceive you.”

The girl replied with a laugh.

But Lin Fan was rather bothered by her tone.

Although she was teasing him, she sounded as though she truly looked down on him.

“Miss, I don’t believe we’ve been introduced. May I ask your name?” Lin Fan sized up the girl. Although her bearing was a level below Lin Mu’s, she still appeared to have an attractive face and a good figure.

“My name is Huang Lingxi. Lin Mu and I are roommates.”

With that, Huang Lingxi removed her mask as well.

Seeing her beauty, Lin Fan could not help being dazzled.

Still, he could not resist using the system to inspect her personal information.

[Name: Huang Lingxi]

[Age:]

[Height: 167 cm]

[Weight: 55 kg]

[Beauty: 9.2]

[Purity: 96]

[Favorability: 0]

[Huang Lingxi’s beauty exceeds nine points. Would the Host like to select her as a target?]

Even the system had issued a prompt, but Lin Fan had no such intention.

For one thing, the girl was only eighteen, yet her purity rating was 96. Clearly, her private life was rather chaotic—or she was being kept by a wealthy man.

For another, she had shown some disdain toward him the moment they met, leaving him with a poor first impression. No matter how beautiful she was, he was unwilling to choose her as a target.

“With beauty like yours, you two must rank among the top two campus beauties at your school. Standing beside you makes me look even more ordinary.” Lin Fan pretended to be self-conscious.

“All right, stop standing around like idiots. We’re hungry.”

Only then did Lin Mu finally speak.

Lin Fan nodded and led them to the restaurant he had reserved in advance.

It was the most upscale four-star restaurant near the institute, with an average cost of at least three thousand per person.

The three of them chose a private room in a villa-style building. After ordering, Lin Mu got straight to the point.

“Earlier, you said that before the Detective Dee film series began shooting, you wanted to produce several web dramas with the same title. I’d like to arrange a role for Huang Lingxi. Do you think that would be possible?”

“This…”

Lin Fan had not expected her to be so direct.

She had asked him immediately whether he could arrange a role for her. Although he was an investor, the decision was not entirely his to make.

According to their agreement, Xu Ke would participate in the web dramas as both producer and investor.
