Chapter 348: Childhood Friends Must Be Cultivated from a Young Age (31)

The system let out a cryptic, cold laugh.

Shen Mubai pretended not to hear it, feeling especially excited to play with the young male lead.

As expected, the young male lead was a novice. At first, Shen Mubai completely dominated him. But as they played, he seemed to gain some experience, making it harder for her. However, in the end, Shen Mubai still won.

She was overjoyed, feeling no guilt about bullying a novice.

Shen Mubai felt quite hopeless herself, having been constantly outmatched by the system for a long time. Now that she had someone else to vent her frustrations on, she finally felt relieved.

In the following days, she would often secretly pull the young male lead to play games with her, either at her house or his. The two of them were like childhood friends who were addicted to online games, losing track of time.

But recently, Shen Mubai had been feeling down because she noticed that the young male lead was winning more and more often, and his wins were coming faster and faster. The fear of being dominated by the system came to her mind again. No, it was even more devastating!

Shen Mubai looked at him with deep resentment and said, “Can’t you let me win just once?”

An Ziyu smiled gently, “Would you like me to let you win, Luoluo?”

Shen Mubai nodded.

Then she realized she was wrong. The feeling of winning, like hitting cotton with her fist, is meaningless.

Angrily, she said, “Come on, let’s hurt each other!”

But she was the only one getting hurt.

Shen Mubai was hit hard, and she played games less and less and stopped staying up late.

The system said, “Come on, cause some trouble.”

Shen Mubai replied, “Play by yourself.”

The system abused her so much, but she was always like an indestructible cockroach, dying and getting up again. But the young male lead was different. He had only been playing for more than ten days.

That kind of thorough spiritual blow left indelible damage in Shen Mubai’s heart, and she didn’t want to play games anymore.

She then weakly told the young male lead, “Ziyu, I can’t play games with you anymore.”

An Ziyu smiled tenderly, “If Luoluo doesn’t play, I won’t play either.”

Shen Mubai felt guilty, “That’s not good.”

An Ziyu’s eyes curved with a smile, “I was just playing casually anyway.”

Shen Mubai’s heart was shot with an arrow, and she vomited a mouthful of old blood.

Students always get bored and want to do something. Besides gossiping, they are also quite interested in selecting the school’s most attractive students.

Every year, when new students arrive, Luoyin High School reevaluates its top beauties and handsome boys.

Last year, the senior Su He lost to the current sophomore Yin Qianxia by 41 votes, making Yin Qianxia the current school beauty.

The voting takes place on the forum, where they post a picture of the candidates from each grade and hold a public vote.

Shen Mubai wasn’t interested in this and naturally didn’t pay attention to it.

Her deskmate, Xu Lin, sighed beside her, “Jiang Luoluo, you didn’t make it.”

Shen Mubai responded with an “oh.”

Seeing her not the least bit upset, Xu Lin asked curiously, “Aren’t you sad or disappointed?”

Shen Mubai said, “What’s there to be sad about?”

Xu Lin clicked her tongue and said, “If a certain someone had such a good attitude, they wouldn’t have resorted to vote-rigging, and the title of school beauty wouldn’t have fallen to her again.”

Shen Mubai took a bite of her chocolate.

Xu Lin looked at her face and said, “But seriously, your bare-faced photo really stood out among all those made-up and Photoshopped ones.”
