Since he was already here, Lin Mo decided to make the best of it and spoke with a smile.
As he spoke, his eyes inadvertently drifted toward those calves that looked like white mutton-fat jade.
Smooth and delicate, they were like works of art.
This was definitely a rare, top-tier beauty.
"Uh... yes!"
The girl was startled at first, then nodded righteously.
Her current identity was that of Zhu Min's substitute.
"Hello, you're Wang Hao, right? Please, have a seat!"
The girl thought for a moment and politely gestured for Lin Mo to sit down.
She had originally intended to criticize the man for being a few minutes late, but seeing Lin Mo's bright smile, she suddenly forgot to find fault.
Lin Mo sat down opposite her, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.
A girl this beautiful, looking as young as a college student—did she really need to go on blind dates?
This world was essentially one giant game of judging by appearances.
It was no exaggeration to say that even if someone this beautiful were a simpleton, they wouldn't end up needing a blind date.
Thus, Lin Mo instinctively activated the system.
[Name] Jiang Wanli
[Age] 18 years old
[Trust Level] 51%
[Identity] Sophomore student at Guining University
[Personal Privacy] Attending the blind date on behalf of her friend Zhu Min; believes in love from the bottom of her heart
[Current Thought] Attempting to ruin this blind date
...Lin Mo was completely stunned.
He was an impostor, and it turned out the other party was too.
Moreover, both of them just wanted to deal with their parents' nagging.
Now, things were getting interesting.
"Your profile says you're 26, but why do I feel like you haven't even graduated from university?"
Lin Mo smiled and launched the first offensive.
This Zhu Min must have a screw loose; finding such a young and beautiful college student to help her—with this kind of looks and temperament, it would be hard for any man to give up on her.
"That just means I take good care of myself, hee-hee."
Jiang Wanli broke into a smile, believing her cover was flawless.
Lin Mo didn't expose her and continued the conversation.
Being beautiful and interesting was a rare combination.
Since both Wang Hao and Zhu Min were just going through the motions, didn't that mean he and Jiang Wanli shared a different kind of fate?
Consequently, Lin Mo began to demonstrate the system's magic.
Jiang Wanli's hobbies, interests, and even her inner thoughts were all within his grasp.
Lin Mo was already silver-tongued, and by selecting topics specifically tailored to her, he became even more unstoppable.
After chatting for about ten minutes, the girl developed a strange illusion.
I've finally met someone who understands me!
Could this guy be sent by the heavens to meet me?
[Ding! Jiang Wanli's trust in you has increased to 53%]
The system's voice echoed in Lin Mo's mind.
Just by casually guessing her favorite dishes and discussing their outlooks on life, Jiang Wanli's trust in him began to climb steadily.
For the first time, Jiang Wanli experienced what people meant when they said they "clicked" with someone.
In a short while, the two were talking and laughing like old friends.
Those who knew would think it was their first blind date; those who didn't would think they were childhood sweethearts.
"It's the May Day holiday season. Would I have the honor of seeing a movie with you?"
Happy times flew by, and seeing that the meal was coming to an end, Lin Mo extended an invitation.
Meeting was fate, and he wanted to seize it.
"Which one?"
Jiang Wanli neither agreed nor refused, instead asking a question in return.
The time they just spent together was very pleasant.
Her good impression of Lin Mo had reached a point that was almost beyond reproach.
To be honest, she also wanted more.
"With a cute girl, we have to watch a horror movie, of course."
Lin Mo gave a mischievous smile.
Who would believe that such a beautiful and charming girl actually enjoyed watching terrifying horror movies?
"Alright, but it can't be too late."
Jiang Wanli gave a slight smile, her eyes curving into crescents.
This feeling of being on the same wavelength was truly wonderful.
In her original plan, Jiang Wanli was going to dismiss 'Wang Hao' with a few words and then go shopping with her close female friends in the evening.
Now it seemed she would have to stand up her best friend... Wanda Plaza.
There were about twenty minutes left before the movie started.
Lin Mo took Jiang Wanli to play the claw machines in the mall.
The atmosphere was quite harmonious.
However, both were somewhat nervous because they were both impostors.
They lacked an opportunity to break the silence; they couldn't keep chatting using the identities of Wang Hao and Zhu Min forever, could they?
"Junior Wanli, what a coincidence!"
A magnetic young male voice came from nearby.
Lin Mo and Jiang Wanli turned around almost simultaneously to see a well-built, handsome young man striding toward them.
Even by Lin Mo's standards, this guy was at the level of a school hunk.
"Senior Han You, you're out shopping too?"
Upon seeing him, Jiang Wanli immediately greeted him politely.
As a senior at Guining University, Han You was a prominent figure.
Moreover, he was the recognized school hunk.
Of course, Jiang Wanli was even more legendary, having been voted the most beautiful school beauty in the 60 years since the university's founding.
"And this is?"
Han You looked at Lin Mo with a faint smile, hoping Jiang Wanli would introduce him.
However, his gaze carried a hint of hostility.
Jiang Wanli was never supposed to have any male friends by her side.
"A friend..."
Jiang Wanli thought for a moment and could only describe him as a friend.
After all, the fact that she was on a blind date for Zhu Min had to be kept secret.
Otherwise, the news that Guining University's most beautiful school beauty was going on blind dates would probably spread like wildfire.
"Since he's Wanli's friend, then he's also my, Han You's, friend. How about joining me for a late-night snack?"
Han You smiled and nodded, wanting to test the relationship between the two.
In this world, pure friendship between men and women didn't exist.
Unless they were very ugly.
Even without the privacy system, Lin Mo could tell that Han You had designs on Jiang Wanli.
So, he pulled up the other man's information.
[Name] Han You
[Age] 21 years old
[Trust Level] 41%
[Identity] Senior student at Guining University
[Dark History] Involved with multiple teachers; contracted syphilis six months ago; family business involved in organized crime
[Current Thought] Feeling a sense of crisis; wants to learn about Lin Mo's situation
...Upon seeing 'syphilis,' Lin Mo quickly took three steps back.
Disgust was written all over his face.
"I'm dieting lately, so no late-night snacks. Oh, right, our movie is about to start."
Without a second thought, Lin Mo refused directly and turned to walk toward the cinema.
When it came to pursuing a girl, he never intended to compete with others.
A girl who required competition was one who wasn't worth your effort in the first place.
Jiang Wanli sensed the awkward atmosphere, gave a symbolic wave, and left.
She had only met Han You a few times.
Watching them leave, Han You gritted his teeth in anger.
His family was wealthy and powerful, and he was handsome; for years, let alone juniors, even music and English teachers were easily won over by him.
Yet with Jiang Wanli, he had no way to start.
It was normal for such a celestial beauty to be difficult, but he hadn't expected her to be on a private date with a guy.
Bang!
Han You raised his hand and punched the claw machine.
A fluffy green turtle fell from the exit... In the cinema lobby.
Lin Mo went to collect the tickets and bought snacks and drinks according to Jiang Wanli's tastes.
However, before the movie started, he still wanted to resolve a small question.
"By the way, why did I hear that guy call you Junior Wanli just now?"
