Chapter 3 failed!
Chapter 3 failed!
"No...it won't work!"
"Huh?" Chen Chen stammered blankly. He was a little nervous about confessing his feelings in front of so many people, so he thought he must be hallucinating. That's why he had the illusion that he was back at his grandparents' house in Yuzhou, going to school and flirting with a hyperactive girl in his class.
But when the girl in front of him suddenly lowered her head, he began to doubt whether the timid and soft "no" he had just heard was real.
"What did you just say?" he asked again.
Cheng Xiuxiu suddenly looked up, her smooth cheeks flushed with a watery blush under the stage lights, and her large, moist, dreamy eyes made her look like she had been drinking.
But at this moment, she looked shy, flustered, and angry all at once, staring at Chen Chen with her pink lips pouting adorably.
"Trust me, Chen Chen! I say no! I don't want to be your boyfriend yet!"
After saying that, she hurriedly turned her head and saw that all the classmates around her were staring at them with excited eyes that seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold, which made her even more embarrassed and annoyed.
Turning around, she saw Chen Chen with his mouth agape and a blank expression, which made her even angrier. She raised her leg and stomped on his foot hard. Before he could react, she lifted her skirt, took small steps, and ran downstairs in a flash, leaving Chen Chen standing there dumbfounded.
……
"To be honest, failing to confess your feelings doesn't diminish your awesomeness!"
"Speaking of the matter at hand, your failed romance doesn't diminish your dashing charm at all!"
Before Chen Chen returned to his desk, a man and a woman gathered around him. One was Niu Zibin, the class representative, and the other was Yan Yiyan, the student council representative. This pair of seemingly mischievous individuals were afraid that Chen Chen would be upset, and as compensation for their recent encouragement to date a rich woman, they surrounded him and offered their comfort.
But Chen Chen seemed to still be immersed in some kind of low mood, only showing a faint bitter smile, saying "I'm going to the restroom" and leaving on his own.
"He seemed quite upset," Yan Yiyan said helplessly, watching Chen Chen's departing figure.
Niu Zibin nodded seriously: "It must be the egg-laying season."
"By the way, you bastard, you lied to me!" Yan Yiyan turned around and shouted, "There's no such thing as a molting period! My brother says he doesn't have one!"
"It requires puberty, how could your brother possibly have that?"
"Uh..." Yan Yiyan paused for a moment, "That's right."
"Remember to ask your dad next time."
Niu Zibin got up and left: "I have spare egg clips, see if I can give them to him."
"Spare egg clips, pfft..."
Lin Jianlu nearly spat out the pork knuckle he was eating.
Yan Yiyan turned her head, glanced at her, and huffed:
"Little Deer, you idiot! Chen Chen was clearly in so much pain, and you, who are such good friends with him, all you did was eat. You didn't say a single word of concern. Is that how a childhood friend should act?"
"He's not feeling well at all, I'm the one who's feeling bad."
"Still making excuses! Still making excuses!" Yan Yiyan said angrily, pushing Lin Jianlu. "All you do is eat! You're not allowed to eat anymore! You go too! Go find Chen Chen! He's very upset, go comfort him!"
"No, I'm hungry..."
"Hungry? What are you hungry for? You've been eating the whole time, are you a pig?"
A few minutes later, standing at the restaurant entrance, Lin Jianlu turned around and glanced inside, only to see Yan Yiyan waving impatiently in the distance.
"Even my grandma never said I ate a lot..."
She muttered a few words to herself, then turned around and stared blankly at the spacious and bright hall in front of her.
Although she hadn't eaten breakfast, Lin Jianlu wasn't actually very hungry. The reason she complained of hunger to Yan Yiyan was that she didn't want to see Chen Chen, and the reason she didn't want to see Chen Chen was—
"I don't have any milk..."
No, no, no! Even if there is milk, it's still not appropriate.
Just imagining pressing Chen Chen's huge head against her chest and making him... do something so shameful it's indescribable made Lin Jianlu's cheeks burn, her forehead sweat, and her whole mind become muddled.
Damn it, is there no hope for this world? Why is it that when she reads online novels, other people's systems have things like daily check-ins, speedruns, or at least some deep blue skill points, but when it comes to her, she's stuck with breastfeeding?
Moreover, this task only gives 300 yuan, which is stingy. Does the system reward also have to follow the trend of consumption downgrade?
Fortunately, this was only the first task. Based on her fairly good experience reading online novels, the rewards for tasks usually increase gradually, so the initial stinginess was still barely acceptable.
Thinking this, she took out her phone and unlocked the screen.
Immediately, the words "lactation-inducing injection" appeared prominently on the AI Q&A page.
Oh dear! I'm still so embarrassed!
Even though she was all alone, the blushing girl covered her phone screen with a guilty conscience, hunched over on a chair in the lobby, looking like a boiled lobster.
Lactation-inducing injections are injectable medications used to stimulate milk production; their main component is prolactin. Because prolactin is a hormone, administering it to minors who do not require it may disrupt their hormone levels, leading to a range of physiological problems…
"You can't just randomly play the 'one'..."
The price of lactation-inducing injections generally ranges from 400 to 700 yuan per injection. Prices vary depending on the region's cost of living and the dosage, but most city hospitals price it at 500 yuan per injection, while private hospitals may charge even more…
Damn it! Why the hell do I have to pay extra for this?!
Maybe we should just give up...
But she really couldn't bear to part with the potential benefits this system might bring in the future.
"No, we still have to do it!" Lin Jianlu suddenly looked up, clenching her fists. Her messy, short, golden hair spread out like a golden lion's mane. "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub! This is a chance to change our destiny, and it's just breastfeeding..."
She suddenly froze, unable to move.
Before her, a little girl holding an AD calcium supplement stared intently at her, the runny white snot dripping from her nostrils looking glistening.
"Sister, aren't you going to the ○ party?"
"No...I won't play..." Lin Jianlu said, waving her hands in denial as she bent down to fix her hair.
But suddenly, as if remembering something, she stopped and looked at the little girl: "By the way, did you see what was displayed on my phone screen just now?"
"I know a lot of characters! It's 'Cui'..."
"stop!"
The sudden shout startled the child so much that his hair stood on end, and the single strand of snot from his nose instantly turned into two.
"Sister... Sister?" The little girl sniffled, pouted, and spoke cautiously.
"Children don't need to know so many words." The blonde woman suddenly leaned closer to the little girl, laughing with great delight.
"But...but the teacher said..."
"Children don't need to know so many words." The cheerful smile continued as he approached the little girl, his fierce appearance now seeming kind and approachable.
"Waaah..."
The little girl's mouth was agape, her eyes were filled with tears, her lips were trembling, and white snot kept dripping from her nose, but she still tried her best to maintain her last bit of stubbornness:
"But Mom and Dad said... if I don't know many words..."
"I already said it!" The blonde older sister, who was only a millimeter away from her little sister, had a smile in her eyes that were filled with the madness of a demon king.
"Children don't need to know that many words!"
A "thud" sound rang out.
"Waaaaah, Mommy, Mommy, big sister is so scary..."
Watching the little girl run away crying, the wicked older sister in the original spot laughed wildly:
"Don't just strike up a conversation with any older woman you see on the street, otherwise... uh?"
In Lin Jianlu's downcast view, a bottle of AD calcium was lying quietly on the ground, seemingly without a straw, so there were a few shallow teeth marks on the foil at the bottle opening that hadn't been bitten open.
She stared at AD calcium for a moment, then suddenly raised her head, slapped her forehead, and a few clever little hairs playfully jumped up from her messy hair.
"Could it be... that I'm actually a genius!?"
