Which reading system would you prefer for Pie Novels?

The sudden alert from the system, especially one about intimacy points, left Ji Wenyan standing there dumbfounded.

Just yesterday, he had complained about earning too few intimacy points.

And today, he was proven wrong.

How did it suddenly go up by +5???

Could it be that Bai Mengze was deeply moved by his suggestion of going to the same university?

“Ahem, why did you suddenly go quiet?”

Ji Wenyan was not the only one stunned; Bai Mengze had also remained silent for a long time. This made Ji Wenyan a little anxious, so he took the initiative to ask.

Obviously, the intimacy points had increased, meaning Bai Mengze didn’t dislike the idea of going to the same university.

But why wasn’t she speaking now?

“I’m just a little touched. I didn’t expect… that you would want to go to the same university as me, Ji Wenyan. It really surprised me.”

“Actually, I initially planned to stop after high school. But ever since I met you, I’ve found studying quite interesting, so I wanted to go to university together.”

“Thank you… but I might not go to university.”

Listening to Ji Wenyan’s words, Bai Mengze was indeed moved.

When she was alone and uncertain of her future, having Ji Wenyan by her side was truly a blessing.

But she wasn’t sure if she would attend university…

Her hatred for Liang Quan prevented Bai Mengze from continuing her studies… She wanted revenge, wanted to make Liang Quan regret everything he had done, wanted to avenge her deceased parents.

If she went to university, she didn’t know when she would be able to take revenge!

Therefore, even if Ji Wenyan wanted to go to university with her, it probably wouldn’t be possible.

Hearing Bai Mengze’s words, Ji Wenyan suddenly remembered that time on the rooftop when Bai Mengze had mentioned wanting to become a star precisely to take revenge on Liang Quan.

With such an obsession, how could she ever feel at ease going to university!

He had actually forgotten this point…

Earlier, he thought the hardest part of the system’s side quest would be getting into the same university as Bai Mengze… but now it seemed that wasn’t the hardest part—convincing Bai Mengze to go to university was.

“Is it because of Liang Quan?”

“Yes, I have to take revenge. So if I continue studying, I feel like I’m betraying…”

“Don’t think that way! Revenge is necessary, but don’t sacrifice your future for it… Even if you eventually deal with Liang Quan, what about your own life?”

“As long as I can avenge my parents, I don’t care!”

As he tried to persuade Bai Mengze, her determined expression made it clear she wasn’t going to change her mind just because of a few words from Ji Wenyan.

But Ji Wenyan couldn’t give up.

Through their time together, Ji Wenyan had come to know Bai Mengze well.

And because he knew her, even without the mission, he couldn’t watch her walk alone into the abyss.

With him and the system around, could they really fail to get revenge?

There was no need to sacrifice her future to be buried with that scumbag Liang Quan.

“Remember what I said on the rooftop? I’ll help you. If you trust me, don’t let your future turn black.”

“Ji Wenyan, I really can’t wait. Whenever I think of the murderer of my parents living freely, the hatred inside me is like an unquenchable flame, burning me alive.”

“No, he will pay for what he did. And it won’t take long… I didn’t want to tell you this so soon, but I have to now! Yesterday when you were asking the landlord about things, you mentioned the Jidong Chain Hotel. My dad looked into it privately and found out that the Liang family wants to buy that land to build a mall.”

“The Liang family…”

“No matter how the Liang family operates in other cities, they can’t interfere in U City. My dad has already started to counter them. Not only will the Liang family fail to build a mall in U City, but they’ll also lose a huge sum of money.”

Seeing that Bai Mengze was about to lose control, Ji Wenyan stopped holding back and quickly spilled the beans about his father’s decision.

There was no one else around, and he fully trusted Bai Mengze.

So even if he said it, it was fine.

He just hoped to ease her pain… If it hadn’t come up today, he would never have known that Bai Mengze’s heart was so sensitive, swallowing her anguish.

“Uncle Ji is going to oppose the Liang family? If it’s because of me, absolutely not! I can’t drag you all down!”

“Don’t overthink it. You know my family runs a mall. The Liang family wants to encroach on the Ji family’s territory. How could my dad stand for that? He has to teach them a lesson!”

“I see…”

“That’s right. Even if my dad messes up the Liang family’s plans, given the Ji family’s status in U City, the Liang family can only swallow their anger… To become someone like my dad, we need to go to university and let knowledge change our destiny!”

Ji Wenyan took a long detour, finally circling back to the topic of university, hoping to change Bai Mengze’s mind.

He was racking his brains to get her to go to university!

It wasn’t that his father had gone to university to inherit the family business… but having the chance to broaden one’s horizons was something to seize firmly.

Especially for someone as smart as Bai Mengze, more opportunities would let her choose a different path, instead of being blinded by hatred and walking down a road of no return.

Besides, wasn’t he here?

Compared to the system, Liang Quan was nothing but a noob!

“University… When my parents were still alive, they hoped I would go to medical school. But I’m destined to disappoint them.”

“Bai Mengze, you…”

“Ji Wenyan, I will go to university! But I’ve decided to apply to the film academy in I City.”

“Wha…t? Film academy?”

Hearing Bai Mengze’s words, Ji Wenyan was immediately shocked.

Bai Mengze, how could she be thinking of the film academy???

“According to my original plan, I wanted to become a trainee star right after high school—that’s the fastest route to success. But after listening to you, I think studying in a related field at a professional school isn’t bad either. At least I can learn systematically.”

“Have you considered other majors?”

“No. I know my own abilities. Even if I wanted to go into business, it wouldn’t be easy. So it’s better to use my strengths to choose the path ahead.”

Emerging from her negative emotions and thinking about everything Ji Wenyan had done for her, Bai Mengze didn’t continue dwelling on hatred.

Ji Wenyan was right; everything was moving in a good direction… She had the chance to choose another life.

She wouldn’t let that bastard Liang Quan ruin her future. Instead, after taking revenge, she would still have the motivation to keep living.
