My Childhood Sweetheart Gradually Puffed Up CH.19
Chapter 19: This New Task Specification is Sick
During the afternoon class, Fu Chengque felt her thoughts were all over the place.
Wen Yu was right beside her, and their distance was getting closer.
Before the system came out, she always felt that the boy next door was dull and uninteresting, and he was just average in all aspects. Their childhood relationship was just that, a childhood relationship. It would be different as they grew up.
So, from the first year to the second year of high school, she always followed her inner feelings:
When happy, just chat with him for a while.
If not happy or not interested, completely ignore.
It’s not intentional neglect, but simply can’t recall this person at all. There’s no interaction in life, no trigger for contact between the two, and as a result, they gradually drifted apart.
This situation changed in the later part of the second year of high school because of the appearance of her “golden finger”.
After the initial contact, which was half forced and half reluctant, she found that Wen Yu was not as mediocre and boring as she had thought.
He had unexpected strengths, such as his painting skills, which were so good that she had never known.
He’s also becoming more and more handsome…
So today, she started to think that Wen Yu is a great “childhood sweetheart”.
Then…
Further than that?
I don’t know, never even thought about it.
Fu Chengque’s “follow your heart” spirit came up again, she thought to herself: just let it happen naturally.
***
Ever since Fu Chengque could understand what Banben said, she has been immersed in this wonderful pleasure uncontrollably.
Before, she felt it was too late to visit for cat cuddles, but now, she naturally visits regularly.
With her hair loose and messy, wearing frog-headed pajamas and cute cotton slippers, Fu Chengque entered Wen’s house without any image.
Mrs. Wen happened to have turned off the TV and was preparing to go to bed.
“Qiao’er is here to cuddle the cat again. It’s getting cold. Wear more clothes.”
“Auntie, I’m fine. Where’s the cat?”
“It’s under the table.”
Fu Chengque went to cuddle the cat, while Mrs. Wen went to Wen Yu’s room.
“Xiao Yu, go to the living room and wait. After Qiao’er finishes cuddling the cat, you turn off the lights and lock the door.”
Wen Yu obeyed, sitting on the living room sofa looking displeased, ready to take a nap.
“Why are you cuddling the cat so late? Aren’t you going to sleep?”
“It’s my cat. Of course, I have to cuddle it.”
“OK, cuddle your cat, call me if you need anything.”
Fu Chengque was not annoyed either, cheerfully fetched the catnip, squeezed Wen Yu into the sofa, and began to please Banben.
Meow~
[The long-haired human is sensible! Although she’s a fool, not bad.]
Fu Chengque had gradually gotten used to Banben’s foul mouth and continued to feed him.
The light wasn’t too bright, the room wasn’t too dark, and the night was very quiet.
She suddenly thought, the last task required 5 hours of close contact, she struggled so much, even got blisters on her feet, but the next day, she completed it just by changing seats.
Looking at Wen Yu sitting behind her now, as long as she wanted, she could just lie down on this sofa and sleep until tomorrow, easily completing the 5 hours.
So the system is really damn annoying.
Will the tasks not get harder in the future?
Speaking of which, the system hasn’t shown up for a while, are there no more tasks?
Lost in thought, suddenly a long-lost prompt sounded in her mind —
[Task: Give Wen Yu a birthday gift. Perfect reward requirement: Without hinting or forcing, make him say “But I really like it” on his birthday. Can be done at any time.]
[Task Duration: 314h26m52s]
[Task Rewards: Mathematics Ability +5, Memory Enhancement +2, Physique +10; Special Reward for Perfect Task: Comprehensive Learning Ability +20, Dance +20, Body Correction +10, Fair Skin +5, Understanding of Performance Increased by 15%]
[Punishment For Failure: None]
[Good Luck!]
This… suddenly became active?
Birthday gift?
“Oh right!”
Fu Chengque remembered, Wen Yu’s birthday was coming up, just this Sunday.
This task is also very, very strange. She read it several times repeatedly, and from those square fonts, she clearly saw one word flashing—
Benefits.
Looking at the countdown of the task duration, it ends on the next Sunday.
And the Tasks are even simpler, just giving a gift would complete it, directly mathematics +5, memory +2, physique +10, how is this different from a freebie?
Before, it was a bit difficult to give gifts when their relationship was distant, but now that they’re playing together, who could say anything about just giving a birthday gift?
But this perfect task is a bit different, it adds special requirements, but this requirement…
In fact, Fu Chengque had an idea the moment she saw the task — when would someone say “But I really like it” on their birthday?
Simple, when they receive a very peculiar, unbelievable gift, they would probably say: “Wow, this is so strange, but I really like this gift.”
See, it’s already there!
With Fu Chengque’s understanding of Wen Yu, giving him something weird, he’s highly likely to cleverly say: “It’s so strange, but I really like it, thank you for the gift.”
The answer is readily available —
It’s a gift full of thought but peculiar in appearance.
Fantastic!
How could it go so smoothly!
This task is simply a giveaway, a pure welfare task.
Fu Chengque got up happily and woke up Wen Yu.
“Wen Yu, I’m leaving. Remember to turn off the lights and lock the door and have a good sleep.”
“Hmm? Is it okay now?”
“It’s good! Very good! Very, very good!”
“You’ve been a bit off lately.”
“Haha…”
Fu Chengque smiled and returned home with her head up, her appearance not very elegant, and a bit arrogant and inflated.
***
The next day at noon, while someone was away, Fu Chengque announced the convening of a [Strategy Stars Group] offline emergency meeting.
In the classroom, several heads gathered together.
Fu Chengque took the lead.
“The theme of this meeting is that the organization member Wen Yu’s birthday is approaching. Everyone, what do you think about this matter?”
Xiao Gua said, “Isn’t the discussion of the Strategy Stars Study Group still about studying? I did poorly on the last quiz…”
Lu Min raised his hand with some difficulty, “I have tutoring on Saturday night, and also on Sunday morning, I’m only free in the afternoon.”
Fu Chengque asked, “Then how about next Sunday afternoon? Fang Ling, what about you?”
“What does Leader Fu mean?”
“Of course, it has to be organized. Not only should it be organized, but it should also become a fixed activity within the organization. In the future, every member must participate.”
“Is it too extravagant?”
“Your scale will be larger in the future!”
“Leader is wise!”
“Then it’s settled. Actually, we’ll just go to Wen Yu’s house for a home-cooked meal, make him a small cake, nothing else. I’ve mentioned about the gift for him, just be casual. For specific details, we’ll discuss on WeChat.”
“Understood, understood.”
“Can we bring family members?” Xiao Gua suddenly asked.
“Welcome!” Fu Chengque glanced over, “Oh, Wen Yu is here, meeting adjourned!”
Having arranged the most important matters, Fu Chengque felt relieved about half of it, but the other half began to worry.
Damn it, so poor.
In the future, as the Empress Chengque who would dominate the world and possess all the wealth, she now felt embarrassed and penniless, which was frustrating.
Team activities would cost money, and at the moment, the leader would definitely have to foot the bill. How could she organize Wen Yu’s birthday without money?
Fu Chengque sighed:
Hey, let’s borrow some money from Wen Yu.
