Ling Xue's heart raced like a drumbeat, the countdown for Mission Two felt like a death knell. She understood that taking on this task meant she had to touch the most vulnerable parts of Xing Ming's heart. However, at this critical moment, she had no time to spare for anything else. Clenching her fists, she resolved to explore Liu Jiang's inner world in the most sincere way possible, determined to complete what seemed like an impossible mission. Perhaps in this emotional contest, she could find a path that led to a win-win situation.
When she accepted the mission, the favorability ratings for Liu Jiang and Xing Ming appeared directly on the interface. Xing Ming's favorability was displayed, but Liu Jiang's was shockingly negative. This startled her—how could it be a negative number? System, come out! Why is it negative?
"I'm sorry, host. Due to your violation of regulations, this system will enter mute mode. You can only continue conversing with the system after completing the mission. The dialogue function is about to close; please explore on your own. Good luck, host. Goodbye."
No matter how Ling Xue called out, the system remained unresponsive. With no other choice, she decided to complete the mission her own way. Taking a deep breath to adjust her mindset, she prepared to face Liu Jiang—the one with negative favorability. She believed that every heart has warmth; even if it was frozen three feet deep, there would come a day when it would melt. At this juncture, she needed to find the key that could unlock his heart.
Using her charm, Ling Xue slightly adjusted her expression, hoping to raise his favorability by a few points. Liu Jiang must have some misunderstandings about her due to his past with Ling Yu. She smiled gently at him, and he returned the smile—a smile that held an irresistible allure for straight men. She said, "You must be Liu Jiang; I've heard about you from Xing Ming. You're a good friend of his, right? There were some misunderstandings before; how about we become good friends now?"
Ling Xue thought that perhaps with her charm, she could raise Liu Jiang's favorability score. She speculated that his negative favorability towards her might stem from misunderstandings related to Ling Yu.
She flashed him a captivating smile—one that was simply irresistible for straight men—and said again, "You must be Liu Jiang; I've heard about you from Xing Ming. You two are good friends, right? There were some misunderstandings before; can we be friends now?"
Liu Jiang looked at Ling Xue, initially surprised but soon calming down. He didn’t rush to answer her; instead, he fell silent for a moment as if pondering something. Ling Xue didn’t feel disappointed; she understood that changing someone’s perception—especially when their favorability was negative—was not something that could happen overnight. She maintained a friendly demeanor and continued searching for topics to break the awkwardness.
"Xing Ming often talks about the fun times you two have had together; I’m quite curious about how you became such good friends." Ling Xue attempted to bridge the gap by discussing their mutual friend.
She knew well that sharing and listening could gradually build trust and understanding.
Finally breaking the silence, Liu Jiang spoke in a low and slightly magnetic voice: "Xing Ming is indeed a good person; we’ve shared many experiences together." Although he didn’t directly respond to Ling Xue’s desire for friendship, at least he began to engage in conversation.
Ling Xue considered this a promising start. She looked again at Liu Jiang’s attitude toward her and noticed that his favorability had risen slightly—clearly even straight men found it hard to resist the charm of a beautiful woman. At this moment, Ling Xue showcased all her feminine allure.
"It's quite a coincidence that we can meet like this; mainly because Xing Ming fell for me at first sight," Ling Xue said playfully and confidently, hoping this would resonate with Liu Jiang.
"My buddy does tend to be swayed by appearances," Liu Jiang replied with a slight smirk.
Just then, Xing Ming walked over with a smile and patted Liu Jiang on the shoulder. "Hey, don’t say it like that! It was love at first sight for me; I was captivated by Ling Xue's unique charm." He looked at Ling Xue with eyes full of affection before turning back to Liu Jiang and saying, "Don’t you think she’s special?"
Seizing the opportunity, Ling Xue added: "Liu Jiang, I’ve actually been wanting to find a chance to have a good chat with you. I know there may have been some misunderstandings before; I don’t want those to affect our potential friendship."
Liu Jiang looked at Ling Xue and replied thoughtfully: "I hope so too; however, some things aren’t so easy to get over."
Xing Ming quickly interjected: "Come on, man! People should always look forward! Ling Xue is a great girl; you'll see once you get to know her better."
Ling Xue smiled and nodded while casually tossing her hair back and looking at him softly: "Liu Jiang, did you know? The way you think seriously is quite charming." A flicker of surprise crossed Liu Jiang's eyes; he clearly hadn’t expected such direct praise from her.
He cleared his throat gently in an attempt to mask his inner turmoil but inadvertently revealed a faint smile. "Thank you, Ling Xue; I think we can give it a try."
