Although she hadn’t known Su Li for very long, Chi Qingyao felt that based on her years of gaming experience, her affinity with Su Li should be pretty high.
Moreover, not many people had the same awareness she did.
The awareness that Su Li was an NPC, and that the secret to clearing this world was to build a good relationship with Su Li.
But clearly, most people didn’t have that awareness.
And after this period of deliberation, Chi Qingyao increasingly felt that there might be more NPCs in this world than she had imagined.
As for Su Li, she was a high-intelligence NPC.
Just like the protagonist in a game.
Even though she was an NPC, her screen time was far greater than everyone else’s.
As for her own sister, she was probably a low-intelligence NPC operating on some fixed program.
In fact, her sister was the bond that connected her with Su Li.
As for why her sister got to know Su Li first, Chi Qingyao figured it was because her sister was the first bird to catch the worm.
And when it was time for her to make her entrance, her sister began to step aside from the spotlight, which was why she did something like kicking Su Li out of the house.
Chi Qingyao transferred the ten thousand yuan she had earned from her sister’s “friend” to Su Li.
Not much time had passed before she received a reply from Su Li.
[1]
[Give me an address, and I’ll send it to you once I get home]
Chi Qingyao sent her address to Su Li.
Ten thousand yuan.
Even as a top-up in a game, that was a huge sum.
But she felt unusually calm inside.
As if spending this fortune meant nothing to her at all.
Maybe it was because this money wasn’t hers from the start, so she didn’t feel any psychological burden spending it?
Chi Qingyao thought about it and decided she should adjust her mindset.
When the weekend came, she’d go help her parents at their work, to experience how hard it was to earn money.
Otherwise, money that came too easily would slowly make her lose herself in her desires.
After receiving the transfer, Su Li looked at the clothes she was wearing.
Her other clothes had already been washed clean long ago.
Every night after the cat took her bath, if there were no orders from Xiao Yuying, she would wash her own and the cat’s clothes.
And when the cat needed to take care of other things, she would have Su Li leave the clothes on top of the washing machine, planning to wash them the next day.
Seeing the expectant look the cat gave her, Su Li naturally couldn’t refuse the cat’s plea.
She simply added another line to employee cat’s payroll.
The cat had grown up too; she needed to have her own allowance.
As for what the cat wanted to buy, Su Li was quite supportive of that.
But the only thing the cat bought with her own money every day was fruits.
Every night, she would prepare a fruit medley for Su Li.
……
Jin Xueli paced back and forth in the hallway, her gaze frequently darting toward Su Li inside the classroom.
She pretended to fix her hair to hide her nervousness, but her unsteady steps nearly made her bump into the fire hydrant.
Her fingers unconsciously twisted her skirt hem, and every time she passed the back door, she would slow down, like a cat circling a fish tank.
Pacing back and forth for so long, all just to secretly steal a glance at Su Li.
In fact, many classmates had already noticed her movements, but Jin Xueli didn’t care at all.
In her heart, she subconsciously dismissed all those people.
Only Su Li was the focal point of the crowd, the center.
As for everyone else, they were just the bottom layer.
They would never have any connection with her in their entire lives.
The only gap between them might be when they helped her take photos of Su Li and sent them to her.
She felt incredibly conflicted right now, hoping Su Li would look up and notice her presence.
But at the same time, she was afraid of receiving a cold gaze from her.
She didn’t care how others saw her, but how Su Li saw her was something she cared about deeply.
It had been a long time since she’d felt this nervous.
It was all because of Su Li. Su Li was the one who made her feel this heartbeat.
She was like a traveler adrift in the vast sea, and because of Su Li, she had found the meaning of her life.
She wanted to become good friends with Su Li.
She wanted to walk side by side with Su Li.
She wanted to end up together with Su Li.
She wanted to feel the looks of admiration and envy from others when they saw her with Su Li.
If she could become classmates with Su Li, then the relationship between them could go even further, right?
That was what Chi Qingyao was thinking in her heart, and she had already asked her family to find a way to handle the admission procedure.
As long as she became Su Li’s classmate, she would definitely get the advantage of being near water first.
She believed that with her personality charm, she could definitely become good friends with Su Li.
And if she could become good friends with Su Li before transferring schools, even better.
That way, she could create a sense of coincidence.
Oh, you’re at this school too!
At that point, she could naturally steer the conversation around the school and coincidences to become great friends with Su Li.
Right, she could first pretend to be unfamiliar with the school and run into Su Li by chance.
Have Su Li give her a tour of the school.
First impressions are very important!
She could give Su Li money, and then when they went out to eat, she’d directly treat Su Li to a meal.
Afterwards, she’d give Su Li a bit more money and thank her, saying that thanks to Su Li, she was able to get familiar with the school so quickly.
When it was time to leave, she could naturally add Su Li as a friend.
Then, when she transferred to Su Li’s class, she could act all surprised.
At that point, as someone unfamiliar with the campus, Su Li could become her first friend.
Jin Xueli pictured this scene in her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt this approach had a high chance of success.
The next step was figuring out how to approach Su Li and ask her to introduce the school.
She just didn’t know if Su Li would be willing to do such a thing.
Jin Xueli’s gaze fell on Su Li, feeling a bit uncertain.
After all, Su Li looked very focused when studying, not the type to waste time on such things.
And while other university students sometimes skipped their morning classes, Su Li never did anything like that.
Su Li arrived at school early every single day.
Jin Xueli was a little unsure in her heart.
She couldn’t be certain whether Su Li would act the way she imagined.
Regardless, first impressions were very important.
Even if Su Li wasn’t willing to communicate with her, maintaining a good first impression was still crucial.
Be polite!
Be polite!
That was what Jin Xueli thought to herself.
Not much time passed before the class dismissal bell rang.
“Hello, classmate. Is there anything you need help with?”
