Chapter 1: Heavy Girl? A Very Heavy Woman?

Nangang University.

The back row of the classroom.

“Classmate, can I sit next to you?”

Someone seemed to have said something, but at that moment, Xu Lin paid no attention, his focus entirely on his phone screen.

“Roll call, come quick.”

His message had barely been sent for a few seconds when the dorm group chat exploded.

Xu Lin smiled, watching the group erupt with a chorus of “Dad” replies.

On the podium, the teacher had already taken out the roster, calling out names one by one.

“Li Zou Kai, Mei Ren Li…”

The teacher’s roll call voice, the students’ responses, and the camaraderie of the dorm brothers…

Even though this wasn’t Xu Lin’s first life experiencing all this, he couldn’t help but sigh, “This is university life, ah~”

Xu Lin had been reborn into this world for twenty years.

At first, he thought his life was about to soar to its peak.

He had transmigrated, so he should be like those protagonists in novels, wielding a system.

Then he would either build a business empire or gain superpowers, engaging in epic battles with mysterious forces.

However, as time ticked by, he finally understood his situation.

The world he had transmigrated to was a parallel world very similar to his original one.

There were no cultivators, no superpowers, no apocalyptic disasters…

And he didn’t have a system either.

Realizing this, Xu Lin had no choice but to accept his fate, living step by step—elementary school, middle school, high school, and now university.

His grades were neither good nor bad, he played a few popular mobile games, joined some gaming group chats, and added a few friends.

In any case, he wanted to live this life well, avoiding the mistakes of his previous life and the same early demise.

Buzz buzz.

His phone vibrated slightly; there was a new message on WeChat.

He glanced at it—it wasn’t from the group but from a friend with a snowman avatar.

He tapped into the chat and saw a 2D character cheering excitedly in an emoji.

Snowman: [Mumu, I successfully got close to the person I like! o(^▽^*)o]

Snowman: [Thank you for the encouragement yesterday!]

Another few celebratory 2D character emojis followed.

They were all of the same character, a beautiful black-haired girl in a light-colored JK uniform.

Mumu: [No big deal, I just gave you a little encouragement, didn’t come up with any ideas.]

Snowman: [Your encouragement gave me the courage to take that step!]

This was a friend Xu Lin had added through a mobile game he’d been playing recently.

The emojis the other person used were of a character from that game.

This was also the friend he’d chatted with the longest among those he’d added through the game.

Initially, it was the other person who added Xu Lin, and they started chatting about the game. A few days ago, they officially added each other on WeChat to continue their conversations.

They usually talked about game-related topics.

But yesterday, Snowman suddenly mentioned having a crush but being too afraid to approach them, unsure of what to do.

Faced with this question, Xu Lin was stumped.

He had no idea what to do. In both his previous and current lives, he’d been single since birth.

Forget dating—he didn’t even have a single female friend. He was completely clueless about this kind of problem.

He could only be honest, telling the other person he had no experience either.

But they replied, [Then can you give me some encouragement?]

It was a small favor, and Xu Lin naturally obliged.

So, the other person was thrilled, brimming with confidence, and decided to approach their crush the next day.

Now, they had sent a celebratory message.

[How far have you progressed?]

Seeing their success, Xu Lin was a bit curious, wondering if he could learn something for the future.

Besides, it was just casual chatting.

Snowman: [During class, I sat next to him, and he didn’t refuse.]

Uh, this…

It seemed this person’s courage was still a bit lacking.

Mumu: [A small step in action, a giant leap toward a relationship.]

Xu Lin still gave them full emotional support.

“Xu Lin.”

Just after sending that message, Xu Lin heard someone call his name.

“Classmate, the teacher called your name.”

A soft voice sounded beside him, and someone tugged at his sleeve.

“Huh?”

He finally reacted.

When the teacher called his name for the third time, he responded with a “Present.”

“Thanks for the reminder, classmate…”

Having narrowly escaped trouble, Xu Lin quickly turned to the side, thanking them in a low voice.

When he saw the person beside him, he froze.

Sitting next to him was a girl.

Her long, straight black hair cascaded down to her waist, and she wore a light-colored JK uniform.

The JK style looked somewhat familiar to Xu Lin.

At that moment, she was looking back at him.

A gentle smile bloomed on her face, like the warm sun in winter, soothing both body and mind.

She was undeniably a beautiful girl.

She seemed familiar.

Soon, Xu Lin remembered.

Wasn’t she Lin Shen Xue, the class beauty of Class 2 in their department, also the department’s top beauty?

Why was she sitting next to him?

Suddenly, he recalled someone saying not long ago, “Classmate, can I sit next to you?”

He hadn’t realized it was her asking him!

“No need.”

Lin Shen Xue’s almond-shaped eyes gazed at Xu Lin, her head shaking slightly, her smile unchanged.

Seeing her in person, Xu Lin realized that Lin Shen Xue was indeed as the rumors described—gentle, polite, and her smile as warm as the sun.

Because of this, she was ranked first on the department’s list of most desired girlfriends, far surpassing the second place by a wide margin.

Many guys had tried confessing to her, but all returned disappointed.

With her gentle voice and sunny smile, she delivered the most regretful rejections.

Even so, people still tried confessing, including some girls.

But soon, no one dared confess to her anymore, and even guys had fewer chances to approach her.

Because a rather domineering best friend appeared by her side, fending off all guys—and even girls—who tried to confess or get close.

However, Xu Lin noticed that at this moment, Lin Shen Xue was alone, with no sign of that other figure.

But soon, he dismissed his thoughts.

He was initially surprised, but quickly lost interest.

The campus goddess? She was still too far out of his reach, even if she was sitting right beside him.

It was only because the teacher suddenly decided to take roll call today, and the usually empty classroom was packed.

She must have arrived late with no other seats available, so she sat next to him.

Could she have come prepared?

Xu Lin gave her a polite smile, nodded, and prepared to turn back to the podium.

But the next moment, his movements froze, and he couldn’t help but blink.

Was this an illusion?

He blinked again, but what he saw didn’t disappear.

In Xu Lin’s line of sight, on Lin Shen Xue’s shoulder, there was a blob of something.

It was a tangle of black lines, circling round and round.

It was like those chaotic mood bubbles drawn in manga to show a character’s inner turmoil.

In the center of those black circles were two bold, thick-bordered black characters.

“Heavy Girl”

Those two words were like a black hole, drawing in the surrounding messy curves, making them orbit irregularly around it.

What did it mean?

A very heavy woman?

That couldn’t apply to Lin Shen Xue.

If I’m not mistaken, it probably means something else.

Xu Lin immediately thought of another explanation.

Heavy Girl, juu-onna.

It referred to a woman whose emotions were overly heavy, extremely dependent, and obsessively controlling in relationships.

But no matter how he looked at it, this didn’t fit the girl in front of him!

She was the campus goddess, always wearing a sunny smile, treating others with utmost courtesy.

And what was this thing?

Xu Lin carefully observed the blob next to Lin Shen Xue again.

?

But the closer he looked, the more he couldn’t tear his eyes away.

His entire being felt as if it were being pulled into it, his head dizzy, his body drained of strength.

[Attribute tag information extracted]

A strange voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

Xu Lin’s gaze finally broke free.

He steadied himself.

Something appeared before his eyes.

A semi-transparent panel slowly materialized in front of him.

Inside the panel, semi-transparent text began to unfold line by line.

[Available attribute tags for creation: <Positive Role>, <?>]

A system?

He blinked, but the interface didn’t disappear.

It was really a system!

He quickly read the information.

“Extracted attribute tag information? When? When I looked at the ‘Heavy Girl’ characters?”

“What does it mean to create attribute tags?”

But the more he looked, the more confused he became. Before he could figure it out, a concerned voice sounded beside him.

“Classmate, are you okay?”

A fair, slender hand reached out in front of him, holding a bottle of mineral water.

“No need…”

Xu Lin instinctively moved to push the water bottle away.

The moment his hand touched the bottle, a line of text floated above it.

The text carried the same special effect as the “Heavy Girl” characters.

Heavy Girl’s Gift: After drinking, one becomes dazed and disoriented, unable to distinguish day from night, a thousand times more potent than knockout tea.

Details: This water is truly “heavy.”

Xu Lin’s hand froze.

If this was true, could he even survive drinking this water?!

This system is wild, he thought to himself, as the system’s prompt voice sounded again.
