Chapter 6: Please Don’t Lift My Skirt 6

“There’s something I don’t understand.”

Shi Xingluo suddenly spoke up again.

“What?”

Shi Xingluo raised an eyebrow. “The Quick Transmigration Administration has so many experienced agents. Why would they assign a critical situation like this to a rookie like me? Aren’t they afraid things might go wrong?”

The System quickly explained, “The higher-ups said it’s because the host is beautiful and kind-hearted – you’re the perfect candidate to redeem the evil Demon God!”

Oh? The higher-ups said that.

Shi Xingluo raised an eyebrow. “I know I’m beautiful, but kind-hearted?”

Since when?

He didn’t remember being that way.

The System also froze, belatedly recalling that on their way back from the bar, if it hadn’t reset the situation, Shi Xingluo would have smashed someone’s head open at first encounter.

No wonder it had felt something was off! It hadn’t had time to think through it before, but the most abnormal thing was its host!

Where was the kindness in that!?

Deeply unsettled, the System fell silent and immediately contacted headquarters for verification.

“No such person exists?”

The verification results left the System bewildered. Since it didn’t have the authority to unbind, it could only repeatedly report its concerns and anxieties to higher levels.

But as night passed and Shi Xingluo woke up leisurely, those glaring red words – “No such person exists” still floated in the System’s backend.

“Ahem, host, you’re awake?”

Beginning to sense that this mission wasn’t simple, and that its host might not be simple either, the System’s tone became noticeably more obsequious and cautious.

“Mm, heading to school.”

Yes, the original host was still a student and a college student.

The despair of his family life made him desperate to escape. He thought everything would be better once he went to college and lived on campus, that he would never have to endure this suffocating household again.

But he never expected that just days before he submitted his college applications, his mother Fang Qiuli was beaten so badly by his father that she became crippled.

In unbearable pain, the woman tried to run away for the first time. Unfortunately, with her injured leg and desperate haste, she stumbled while crossing the road and was run over by a car, leaving her completely paralyzed and bedridden.

Thus, the woman who had been in too much pain to stay gradually became grateful to her husband, feeling thankful that he didn’t abandon her despite her disability, and she became even more submissive than before.

The original host couldn’t possibly ignore his paralyzed mother, so he chose a local university, working to support her while attending classes as a commuting student.

“Look, it’s the school heartthrob! Wow, he really arrives here punctually at eight every day without fail!”

As Shi Xingluo approached the school gate, he saw a crowd gathered there, craning their necks and looking in a certain direction. The mass of people almost completely blocked the entrance.

Shi Xingluo sighed helplessly. “Please make way.”

According to the original host’s memories, this happened every single day.

For one reason only: this was the exact time when the school heartthrob Qin Yan would enter the school.

But Shi Xingluo, having received this world’s plot, knew this wasn’t just any school heartthrob – his more important identity was the male lead of the story.

This was the male lead, the undeniable male lead.

Even so, Shi Xingluo felt no interest whatsoever in this character who occupied so much of the plot’s attention.

He merely cast a disdainful glance at what even the original plot considered a ridiculous spectacle, then tried to push through the crowd.

Unexpectedly, that single glance brought him face to face with a pair of narrow, penetrating eyes that were already fixed on him from a distance.

The owner of these eyes was none other than the campus heartthrob described with multiple paragraphs of appearance descriptions in the original plot—the male lead, Qin Yan.

Shi Xingluo was first surprised. Why was the male lead staring at him?

Then his gaze fell on the other’s sharply defined jawline, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat. This contour and angle… how could it be…

Shi Xingluo curved his lips slightly and calmly averted his gaze, stepping toward the school entrance.

When someone with excellent bone structure goes to great lengths to conceal their appearance, there are generally two possibilities:

First, their facial features are damaged, making them genuinely unattractive.

Second, revealing their face would easily expose their identity.

But bone structures can often resemble one another, and Shi Xingluo couldn’t be entirely certain yet. Still, he wasn’t anxious. “System, things are starting to get interesting. Since this world isn’t completely boring, I’ve decided to rename ‘System’ to ‘Erya’.”

System: “?”

“Erya, I’m making significant progress on this world’s mission.”

The system attempted to resist, “…Host, isn’t ‘System’ actually quite a nice name?”

Shi Xingluo raised an eyebrow, his steps light. “How could that be? From now on, we’ll be partners working side by side across multiple worlds. Calling you ‘System’ would be like you calling me ‘Human’ how impersonal! Right, Erya?”

Erya: “…”

What could it do but accept?

It didn’t have the capability to unbind anyway.

“Classmate, wait a moment.”

A cool voice sounded behind him under the sunlight.

Shi Xingluo smiled slightly before slowly turning around, adopting a perfectly measured expression of surprise and slight disbelief. “Senior Qin, were you calling me?”

Qin Yan’s eyes flickered as he approached. “You know me?”

Shi Xingluo lowered his gaze with a faint smile. “Senior Qin was elected campus heartthrob on the school forum. Even if you don’t know me, how could I not know you?”

Qin Yan maintained an indifferent expression, creating a sense of cool detachment that felt difficult to bridge. “That heartthrob title is just something people came up with for fun.”

Shi Xingluo’s smile remained unchanged. “At least it shows everyone recognizes Senior Qin’s looks.”

Qin Yan’s eyes lowered. “Perhaps they haven’t seen everyone’s best and clearest appearance yet.”

For example… he swallowed silently.

Shi Xingluo’s eyes fell on Qin Yan’s moving Adam’s apple and slightly chapped lips that looked like they’d been bitten by someone, immediately forming the answer he wanted.

He raised an eyebrow meaningfully. “Senior Qin, you haven’t told me why you stopped me.”

“Mm.”

Qin Yan raised his hand, leisurely reaching into his pocket and slowly pulling out a small card. “You’re a freshman this year, right? Interested in joining a club?”

Shi Xingluo: “?”

That’s it?
