Chapter 158: I Want to Be Sent to the Countryside Somewhere Else

Xu Lin picked up her cup and took a large gulp, thinking to herself that another person was about to arrive. The educated youth dormitory was certainly lively.

I wonder what kind of person is coming this way this time?

Recalling that the Ji family was inquiring about her, Xu Lin asked seemingly offhand, "Are there many strangers coming to our production brigade these days?"

"I don't know. What would strangers come for? Could it be to meet up with Qin Fang?"

Qian Li grew vigilant. "We must keep a close eye on them. We definitely can't give Qin Fang an opportunity to do anything bad."

After seeing off Qian Li, who was heading out to work, Xu Lin sat alone at the table in deep thought. How on earth did the Ji family manage to track things down to her?

Xu Lin did not feel she had exposed herself. Everyone who knew of her existence regarded her merely as a doctor who helped treat injuries and save lives.

Unless the Ji family had made contact with Ji Ruolan. Ji Ruolan was no ordinary person; she was firmly convinced that it was Xu Lin who had disrupted the Ji family's geomantic array.

The Ji family truly was not to be underestimated. Even with Team Leader Guo exercising such strict precautions, they still managed to get the word out.

It seemed she would have plenty of trouble on her hands in the future.

Although Xu Lin felt somewhat annoyed, she was not particularly worried. Let them come; she would deal with whoever showed up.

As long as the prisons in the Dragon Country were big enough, that would suffice.

As dusk fell, Qin Fang returned to the educated youth dormitory. Unlike the disheveled state she had been in when leaving that morning, the Qin Fang who returned now was walking with an air of supreme arrogance.

Standing at a height of one meter sixty centimeters, she somehow managed to project the imposing aura of someone standing two point eight meters tall.

That aura, however, instantly deflated the moment she encountered Xu Lin, plunging below the one-meter-sixty mark.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen anyone before?" Refusing to lose face even when defeated, Qin Fang glared at Xu Lin.

"I was just looking at a dog," Xu Lin replied leisurely, while casually casting a spatial black hole right beneath Qin Fang's feet.

Caught off guard, Qin Fang tripped over her own feet and took a classic face-plant.

Seeing that Qin Fang had fallen in such a cooperative manner, Xu Lin slowly spat out two more words: "Eat shit!"

Pfft! Qian Li, who had come out to watch the excitement, burst into laughter. That description was far too accurate—wasn't that precisely eating shit?

Enraged, Qin Fang felt as though black smoke was venting directly from the top of her head. Once again, she concluded that running into Xu Lin never brought any good luck, and she even began to suspect that her unexplained fall on flat ground had something to do with Xu Lin.

Furious, she dropped to the ground, hammering her fists against the earth in silent, raging fury. "Little Seven, was that Xu Lin playing tricks on me? Was it?"

The system remained silent. It also suspected that Xu Lin was behind it, yet it hadn't detected a thing.

That woman was simply too terrifyingly powerful—powerful enough to strike fear even into a system.

Damn it, surely it hadn't run right into its natural predator out here in the countryside?

Thinking of its own identity, the system could not help trembling with fear. It was merely a runaway wild system; if it were to be destroyed here, it would truly be finished.

There was no such thing as being remolded in a furnace.

Finished, completely finished. The system scared the living daylights out of itself and decisively chose to play dead.

No matter how hard Qin Fang screamed her lungs out, the system didn't make a single peep.

What could a helpless Qin Fang do? She had no choice but to pick herself up, cast a venomous glare at Xu Lin, cover her face, and sprint toward her room.

However, Qin Fang had forgotten to open the door first, and with her hands still covering her face, she crashed headfirst right into it.

With a loud bang, the entire educated youth dormitory plunged into absolute silence.

At that moment, Qin Fang experienced an embarrassment that far transcended dying of social shame.

Fumbling frantically, she managed to get her key out, unlocked the door, burst into her room, slammed the door shut behind her, and slid down limply to the floor, covering her face as she wept softly.

"Wuwu, Little Seven, I regret it. I want to transfer my location for joining the countryside."

"Then transfer. As long as it's nearby, whichever production brigade you go to shouldn't affect your mission."

The system offered a small, comforting whisper. *Wuwu, it wanted to change places too.*

"Really?"

Qin Fang stopped crying. Upon second thought, that seemed to make sense. As long as she stayed close to this mountain range, what difference did it make which production brigade she was in?

Oh dear, it seemed she had been overthinking things. Transfer—she definitely had to transfer.

Qin Fang resolved to make a phone call back tomorrow and ask her connections to help her transfer her assigned rural location.

Presumably, it should be a very simple matter.

Having resolved her problem, Qin Fang's mood lifted. She fetched some water to wash her face and pretended that nothing had happened.

Yet, had truly nothing happened?

"Warning, warning.攻略目标苏亮好感值-1." (The favorability value of target Su Liang has decreased by 1.)

Su Liang! Qin Fang almost shrieked aloud. She had completely forgotten that she still had a target to woo.

That damned Su Liang—his favorability increased at a snail's pace, but plummeted at lightning speed.

Qin Fang couldn't fathom how she had offended Su Liang just by returning, to the extent that his favorability rating had dropped.

Xu Lin, who had been eavesdropping on Qin Fang's internal thoughts, was equally consumed by curiosity. Why had Su Liang's favorability suddenly dropped?

Driven by this curiosity, Xu Lin pretended to take a leisurely stroll as she approached the male dormitories, quickly locating Su Liang with her spiritual perception.

Upon taking a look, goodness gracious, Xu Lin momentarily thought she was looking at a resentful, neglected wife.

That expression of profound grievance looked deeply eerie no matter how one viewed it.

Was this really Su Liang? The bigwig who would grow up to wield immense power?

Xu Lin expressed that although she was young, she wasn't foolish. How on earth could someone like this become a major powerhouse?

In truth, Su Liang couldn't entirely be blamed for his displeasure; life these past two days had simply been far too difficult. Yesterday, at least Qin Fang had kept him company.

Today was a different story altogether. Qin Fang had been gone the entire day without giving a single thought to how Su Liang was supposed to survive.

This young master didn't know how to cook for himself, didn't have much money on him, and couldn't even find anyone willing to help him cook.

If he wanted to cook for himself, he didn't even have a pot. Ever since he and the others had pooled resources with Du Yong's group, they had been using the small pot that Du Yong's group had purchased.

Too proud to lower himself to ask, Su Liang had gone hungry for a whole day, constantly anticipating that Qin Fang would bring him back something to eat once she returned.

Instead, Qin Fang hadn't thought of him at all upon her return and brought him absolutely nothing, leaving Su Liang intensely angry.

Su Liang had even begun to doubt his position in Qin Fang's heart. Was Qin Fang truly a good match for him?

It could be said that with a few more blows like this, Su Liang might very well take the initiative to soften his stance, return to the Su family, and draw a clear boundary between himself and Qin Fang.

Though she had no idea what Su Liang was throwing a tantrum over, an utterly furious Qin Fang still rummaged through her system space, pulled out a lunchbox, and went to find Su Liang.

Regardless of anything else, Su Liang remained her primary target for conquest, and an unchangeable one at that.

This man had to be won over.

Aside from coaxing him, Qin Fang had no other options left.

"Host, if you ask me, you should just coax him into bed. Men are like that—once he gets you, he becomes completely yours. He will definitely surrender body and soul beneath your pomegranate skirt. As long as you complete the mission, you'll receive a reward of ten thousand points. Besides, even if Su Liang's favorability drops afterward—even if it hits the negatives—it won't affect you anymore, nor will there be any penalties. This is an absolute win-win for you with zero losses."

The system chattered away, offering rotten advice out of fear that Qin Fang wouldn't know how to employ the honey-trap strategy.

"No, you don't understand. What you can't get is what always stirs the heart. If I actually let Su Liang have me, then I won't be precious anymore."

Qin Fang shook her head persistently in her thoughts, feeling that the system was utterly idiotic when it came to matters of the heart. How could it possibly suggest such a tactic?

Besides, rolling in the sheets before marriage would only cause the man to look down upon her.

If the two of them were truly to consummate their relationship, marriage was an absolute prerequisite.

It was just that their current ages were still too young; getting a marriage certificate was an absolute impossibility.

Qin Fang felt that maintaining the current relationship was of the utmost importance; everything else would have to be taken slowly, step by step.

In short, until the very last step, she must never lose her virginity.
