“Favorability towards Su Ze: 91
Favorability towards Liang Sheng: 78”
Eh? When did the Young Miss’s favorability towards me go up again? Liang Sheng felt a little puzzled.

Favorability towards Liang Sheng: 70.5”
Ah, Senior Sister Yuqi had actually lost two kilos. Liang Sheng felt a pang of heartache…
“Junior Sister Liang Sheng, are you okay…?” Gu Yuqi looked at Liang Sheng with concern.
Liang Sheng quickly shook her head. Then she struck a bodybuilder pose to show that her body was in tip-top shape~
Afterward, Lu Ziqing glanced at the boxed lunch that Song An’an had prepared for Liang Sheng. Though she secretly thought it looked pretty good, she wouldn’t say it out loud. “What did you prepare for Liang Sheng? It has zero nutrition.” Her words instantly made Song An’an’s eyes turn red-rimmed.
Liang Sheng felt helpless. The Young Miss’s old bad habit was flaring up again. She hurried to smooth things over. “Come on, Young Miss, this is really tasty! An’an’s cooking skills are amazing! Zi Qing, want to try some?” She couldn’t afford to offend either side, or else favorability would drop—and who knew what nonsense this damn system would pull next.
Sure enough, Song An’an let out a “hehe” giggle, while Lu Ziqing turned her head away with a sneaky chuckle.
Whatever. Seeing these girls smile because of her was one of life’s greatest blessings.

In the afternoon, they began the journey back. Nothing funny happened along the way, giving Liang Sheng a rare chance to mull over some matters.
Why had Su Ze shown up at the beach—and so conveniently, right when she had fallen into the water and nearly drowned? Was there some connection between Su Ze and Scarface? Or had he been secretly stalking her, just to boost her heartthrob value towards him?
Liang Sheng felt her brain overheating. She pulled a small mirror out of her bag, wanting to check what the original Liang Sheng’s favorability towards Su Ze had been.

Appearance: SS
Hobbies: Calligraphy, flute
Traits: Literary girl
Features: Pure and cute, first-love face
Family: Father is the president of a real estate company

Favorability towards Su Ze: 116
Favorability towards Liang Sheng: 74”
What? Something was wrong—terribly wrong!
When had her favorability towards Su Ze spiked that high? Was this literary girl persona just wasted on her?
And why was the favorability towards Liang Sheng so low? There was only one explanation: this was the original Liang Sheng’s favorability towards the current Liang Sheng. Had she offended her somehow? Liang Sheng racked her brains until she felt utterly drained, but she came up empty.
So the original Liang Sheng liked calligraphy… No wonder her handwriting was so beautiful. Liang Sheng glanced at her own writing on the yellow paper. To anyone unfamiliar, it might look like a scribbled talisman. It was downright horrific—a total car crash compared to the original’s elegant script. They were worlds apart.
As for playing the flute, she had no idea how. She had never even touched one, unless you counted that time she butchered a hulusi tune. She felt like a complete musical illiterate.
So why had someone as goofy as her transmigrated into such an outstanding, artistic body as Liang Sheng’s? Their personalities didn’t match, and neither did their hobbies!
“What’s your wish, then?”
“Easy. Lie flat, make money without lifting a finger, spend without a care, with food and drink always covered.” Liang Sheng rattled off a casual answer.
Then it hit her—something was off. Who was talking?
“It’s me!” Kazuko said with a cheeky grin.
“Ah!” Liang Sheng yelped in sudden surprise. Everyone in the car turned to stare. Gu Yuqi jolted awake, still a bit groggy. Then she made an incredibly flirtatious move. She cupped Liang Sheng’s face gently and rested her head on her own shoulder, stroking her hair a few times. “Don’t be scared. What happened? Was it a nightmare?”
Liang Sheng’s face exploded with heat. Senior Sister Yuqi was the type who could chat casually one moment and flirt shamelessly the next.
“Y-Yu… Yuqi Senior Sister.” Liang Sheng’s voice dropped to a soft, dripping murmur as she looked up at Gu Yuqi’s face—gentle yet full of heroic spirit.
Gu Yuqi’s eyelashes fluttered a few times before she regained her composure. Liang Sheng’s cheeks burned even hotter. No way! Gu Yuqi’s face was too perfect for her tastes—what was she supposed to do about that?!
Kazuko’s voice turned playful. “Oho, avert your eyes! Avert your eyes! Look at you, so spineless!”
Liang Sheng nearly cursed out loud, but her big eyes darted around slyly, and she held back.
“Just talk in your head. I can hear that,” Kazuko reminded her kindly.
“You despicable little sneak! Perverted mind-reader!” Liang Sheng raged inwardly.
Kazuko sounded utterly aggrieved. “Hey, it’s not my fault I have this ability! Blame me if you want~”
“But that Gu Yuqi sure knows how to flirt. You should take notes.”
Liang Sheng thought it over for a moment before asking curiously, “Why can I only see the favorability for these main girls? Why not others? What about Su Ze—can he see it?”
Kazuko sounded puzzled too. “You shouldn’t. It should work on everyone. What’s going on with you? As for Su Ze, I don’t know.”
This… Liang Sheng’s face scrunched up.
“Is your system glitching again? You don’t seem reliable at all,” Liang Sheng said, her doubts about the system growing serious.
Kazuko fell silent. She wasn’t sure if it was her fault either—after all, she’d malfunctioned plenty of times before.
Seeing that Kazuko had gone quiet, Liang Sheng simply leaned against Senior Sister Yuqi’s shoulder and closed her eyes to rest. She had no idea that Lu Ziqing was shooting daggers at her and Gu Yuqi.
A little while later, Liang Sheng felt a weight settle on her. She opened her eyes to find Lu Ziqing fully leaning against her. That position… Wasn’t it uncomfortable? Liang Sheng frowned at the Young Miss’s awkward posture and shot an inquiring look at Su Ze, who was staring right at them.
Su Ze shook his head to indicate he knew nothing about it.
Liang Sheng didn’t have the heart to push Lu Ziqing away, so she let the Young Miss lean on her. Half her body went numb. Liang Sheng was uncomfortable enough—God only knew how much worse Lu Ziqing felt. In a fit of pique, she had leaned on Liang Sheng for the sake of pride, and now she looked ready to burst from awkwardness.
Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore. She sat up straight and said to Liang Sheng as casually as she could, “Sorry, my bad. I ended up leaning on you.”
Liang Sheng wouldn’t dream of saying anything cheeky. She flashed an apologetic smile and insisted it was fine. What a pushover. After all, her mouth went soft from eating their food, and her hands went soft from taking their money. And who could blame her? Young Miss Lu Ziqing’s family owned a gold mine, and she was generous to a fault.
To be fair, with that fiery temper of hers, all she had left was her wealth to throw around.
