Chapter 105 Alice is Completely Lost
Five years ago...
Alice wrapped up her evening study session and headed home, just like always. She had stayed late to finish her homework, so her two usual walking buddies had already left.
Her dad was swamped with work at his company, and her mom was busy too. No one was there to pick her up.
Riding her bike through a quiet alley, Alice suddenly found herself face-to-face with two thugs!
A pretty girl, alone in a dark alley at night, stopped by two thugs? Yeah, she was terrified.
At that critical moment, a boy suddenly rushed out and started fighting the thugs without a word. While fighting, he yelled at Alice to run, and she did!
This boy, who seemed to come out of nowhere, was clearly no match for the two thugs. He got beaten up pretty bad.
After Alice ran away, she called the cops. Half an hour later, the police finally showed up. But the thugs and the brave boy were gone. The whole thing was left unresolved.
It was so dark that night, and everything happened so fast. Alice was in a panic. She didn't get a good look at the boy's face.
She felt super guilty.Someone helped her, and she didn't even know who he was!
She wanted to thank him but couldn't find him.
Even five years later, she still didn't dare to walk alone at night. It left a scar.
This whole thing became a secret buried deep in her heart.
But then, five years later...
It turned out the boy who helped her was Charles.
This boy, who was once unnoticed in class, had been secretly protecting her all along.
Whether it was five years ago or now, he was always the same, never changing.
When the image of the skinny boy from five years ago overlapped with the Charles of today, it hit Alice hard. The impact was like a sniper bullet, piercing straight into her heart, leaving an indelible mark.
After five years of brewing, Alice's guilt and gratitude became overwhelming.
"So it was you who helped me back then? Oh my God! I looked for you for so long but couldn't find you. Why didn't you tell me earlier?" she exclaimed.
Alice's affection for Charles hit 95 points.
"Ding! Detected that Target No. 6, Alice, has successfully broken through 95 points of affection for the host. Congratulations to the host for successfully achieving Role Reversal!"
"Ding! Target No. 6 has spent a total of seventy-seven million dollars in Special Funds, rewarding the host with seven hundred seventy thousand dollars!"
"Ding! Alice has successfully been converted into the host's simp, rewarding 35 enhancement points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for acquiring skills: Proficient in Chinese, Proficient in French, Proficient in Russian, Proficient in Korean!"
In an instant, the system interface popped up.

"Please choose the direction for enhancement."
At this moment, Charles was stunned!
He had thought that with Alice's looks and temperament, achieving Role Reversal would be the hardest thing ever.
He was even ready for a long-term strategy.
Who would've guessed that just by mentioning a small incident from five years ago, he'd nail it?
He knew that the higher the affection, the harder it was to increase.
Especially those last 5 points.
Each point was like the previous ten points combined.
Because a person's affection had a limit.
Once it hits a certain level, it wouldn't go any higher!
Only by breaking through that bottleneck, making her genuinely feel you're amazing and charming, could you achieve Role Reversal.
He thought this process would be super tough.
After all, he spent seventy-seven million dollars to get Alice's affection to 85 points.
Even if he spent more, it wouldn't have the same effect.
But who knew, just by bringing up the past, Alice's affection for him would skyrocket.
At this moment, Charles finally got it.
It wasn't that Alice didn't remember the incident; she just didn't recognize him.
Charles always thought Alice knew but didn't care about him.
Turns out, there was a misunderstanding from five years ago.
Of course, Charles also knew that even if Alice had recognized him back then, there wouldn't have been any story between them.
At most, she would've thanked him in person or given him some money for medical expenses.
Back then, Alice couldn't have been Charles's girlfriend!
Maybe years later, at a class reunion, he would've left a deeper impression on her.
That was all!
But now, it was different.
It was precisely because of the five years of brewing, the sudden uncovering of that dusty memory, and Charles's series of actions—like helping Alice escape from a family-arranged marriage—that had an extraordinary effect.
Alice was deeply moved, not just simply grateful.
She was genuinely attracted to Charles's charm.
Dominant when needed, low-key when appropriate, looks, family background, inner qualities, knowledge—he lacked nothing.
And he was so devoted.
This boy didn't just start liking her now; he was willing to risk his life for her five years ago!
But she only found out now.
It was all deeply touching, and Charles was profoundly affectionate that Alice couldn't help but fall for him!
Girls could be very blind sometimes.
When a boy she doesn't care about gave her everything, she wouldn't even look at him.
But if it was a boy she cared about, even a little effort would be remembered for a long time.
This was selective memory!
Many people had this problem!
Charles's success in achieving Role Reversal with Alice today can be said to have been deeply rooted in the cause and effect of five years ago.
But later, Charles found out those two thugs weren't real thugs.
They were friends of Leo, who planned to block Alice and stage a hero rescue.
But the plan was disrupted by Charles!
In the end, no one benefited.
At this moment, the atmosphere began to heat up.
Charles looked into Alice's eyes, which held complete infatuation for him.
He instinctively pulled her into his arms.
Looking at her beautiful face, Charles couldn't help but want to kiss her.
Their faces got closer and closer, and Alice closed her eyes, seemingly not planning to resist.
Charles could even feel her rapid breathing.
At the critical moment, the phone rang.
He looked at the caller ID.
It was Jessica calling.
"Damn!" he cursed.
