Chapter 119 Stirring Restlessness
Charles felt utterly helpless. The system had actually bound him to Snow!
They'd only exchanged a single sentence.
They hadn't even swapped contact info.
Yet, the simp relationship was already locked in.
Was the system just too thirsty, or did Charles have some weird thoughts he wasn't admitting?
'How could I be someone who acts on impulse just because of looks? I'm definitely not that kind of person!' Charles vehemently denied it in his heart, but it seemed pointless.
The upcoming birthday party was just an excuse to eat and drink.
Jessica cut a five-layer cake for her twenty-first birthday.
Maybe she started school early, but Charles was a year older than her.
As Jessica turned twenty-one, Charles was about to hit twenty-two.
After this summer break, they'd be diving into their senior year internships.
They wouldn't be spending much time at school anymore. Life was about to turn a new page.
Some might go for grad school, but most would start working.
In the years ahead, no matter how rich or successful you became, when you thought of the happiest times in your life, it would probably these college years!
There was no pressure from teachers, no parents breathing down your neck, no need to work for a living, and plenty of romantic options.
On top of all that, you were surrounded by vibrant and attractive peers!
Looking back, this period should be the peak of life.
Once you entered the real world, these perks would slowly fade away.
Girls would get more realistic.
Without money, you were nothing.
If you succeeded in your career, maybe life stayed good.
If you were just a salaried worker, making a thousand bucks a month, you might worry not about living, but surviving.
At your age, it was embarrassing to ask your family for money!
You needed to work for cash and had to endure all kinds of life's dissatisfactions.
You wouldn't have many free days each month.
For the rest of your life, you might repeat this dull routine for decades.
Maybe you'd try to change things.
But in the end, you'd still return to the ordinary.
This was the reality for most people.
A few might succeed in business and get rich, but those were rare cases.
During the rest of the party, Charles didn't talk to Snow.
Her affection towards him was already at -80 points. Anything he said would just make her dislike him more.
Snow's first impression of Charles was rock bottom.
She already thought Charles was just a douchebag who liked to flirt around.
No matter how talented he was, it couldn't hide his douchebag nature.
So she not only didn't want to talk to Charles herself, but she also wanted Jessica to stay away from him.
"Jessica, you should keep your distance from Charles in the future!" Snow suggested coldly.
"Why?"
Jessica thought, 'Why is Snow being so difficult? Could it be that she also likes Charles?'
"No reason. Do you know about his affairs at school? He's got complicated relationships with several girls. I don't want you getting tangled up in that mess. It could affect your work in the student council. I'm about to step down as president, and I hope you take over!"
Snow's words left Jessica stunned.
At school, they often clashed, leading Jessica to see Snow as a rival.
Even for today's birthday, she wanted to outshine Snow, naturally thinking Snow would never support her for president.
But unexpectedly, Snow, who always had differing opinions, actually supported her.
'The biggest enemy in her mind turns into an ally? Why? Can the rumors be true that Snow is actually a lesbian? And she has a crush on me?' Jessica wondered. Jessica suddenly shivered. She awkwardly but politely smiled. "I hear what you're saying, but you might have misunderstood Charles. He's not the kind of person you think he is!"
"You don't need to explain. Sometimes love can blind people. Just take care of yourself and don't let emotions interfere with your work. If people find out the future student council president is involved in a love triangle, you know what kind of negative impact that would have!"
"It's okay. If Charles really likes me, I can give up being the student council president!"
Jessica looked at Charles with loving eyes.
Actually, after becoming popular on TikTok, she had already thought about resigning from the student council. Whether she was president or not, it didn't really matter.
"How can you be so foolish, making such a sacrifice for a man?" Snow scolded.
[Snow: Affection -5
Snow: Affection -5
Current Affection: -90 points.]
'I haven't done anything to hurt you, Snow! I'm just sitting here doing nothing. Is that wrong too? How can my favorability drop by 10 points just like that?' Charles felt like he was going to collapse. He thought, the rumors about Snow being a lesbian might really be true.
The birthday party continued until nine in the evening. People started to leave one after another. Charles also left.
Actually, Charles could have stayed. But since everyone was leaving, if he insisted on staying, it would definitely cause trouble!
The key point was, all the guys had left. Only Jessica's close friends stayed behind. A few girls staring at Charles made the atmosphere a bit awkward, so he decided to leave!
"Charles, are you leaving too?" Jessica chased after him and asked.
"Yeah, I'm going back to school. It's a girl-talk, so I can't join in!"
"Well, I'm really sorry. This is your house after all. We should be the ones leaving!"
"No, since the house is in your name, it's yours. I never take back what I give, so please don't say that again!" Charles said decisively, making Jessica even more touched.
"How about this, to thank you for your kindness, I'll treat you to a movie tomorrow!"
Charles thought for a moment, 'If a girl invites you to a movie, refusing would be too hurtful. And a one-on-one movie date might lead to some exciting developments. The key point is, Jessica is so beautiful, with a great figure.'
At those thought, Charles's heart started to race.
