Chapter 1416: I'm Helpless Too

Walking along the long campus road, lined with shady willows on both sides, brought a sense of tranquility and ease.

After Xu Que regained his memories, looking back at this feeling again, he unexpectedly felt an inexplicable nostalgia and cherishment.

He did not converse with Xuan Yuan Wanrong; walking alone ahead, he savored this rare glimpse of the past, as if after experiencing countless dangers and vicissitudes, he had finally attained peace.

"It's just a pity that this isn't reality, but merely a Memory World!" Xu Que sighed inwardly; although it wasn't the real world, it still counted as a form of enjoyment.

He recalled the words Xuan Yuan Wanrong had spoken before he regained his memories, and at this moment, he could roughly guess the general situation.

This Love Tribulation was likely meant for him and Xuan Yuan Wanrong to enter the Memory World and compete against each other for the position of the other's first love.

The difficulty coefficient of this was, in fact, very high.

Everyone's first love occupies an extremely large proportion in their heart, holding a transcendent status that is hard to shake.

After all, first love is everyone's purest beginning, ignorant and innocent, with hearts just opening to love, without considering any external factors!

Most first loves are indeed quite beautiful precisely because they are pure, and they may even be accompanied by regrets, which makes them beautiful!

However, for Xu Que, who had experienced two lifetimes, having seen a greater world, killed countless living beings, and tread the path toward higher life, many past matters had long been let go, leaving no lingering thoughts.

Regarding Lin Yuxi, this first love, Xu Que could no longer find that initial beauty, and it even compared unfavorably to the tree-lined avenues of this campus.

Therefore, Xu Que felt that this First Tribulation of Love was not of high difficulty, after all, he had regained his memories and was no longer the him from those university days.

But the problem was, how could he make himself like Xuan Yuan Wanrong?

This damn difficulty coefficient was truly a bit too high!

What was so good about this woman?

Aside from her strength being slightly greater, her appearance being comparable to Jiang Hongyan's, and her figure being on par with the fiery hotness of Jing Ning, what else was good about her?

"Boring, truly boring, but if I were to lose my life just because I don't like her, that seems utterly absurd!" Xu Que pondered as he walked, feeling extremely troubled.

Xuan Yuan Wanrong followed behind him, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, a trace of confusion occasionally flashing in her eyes.

She suddenly felt that the current Xu Que seemed slightly different from the previous Xu Que, yet she couldn't quite specify where the difference lay.

Because the current Xu Que seemed, somehow, a bit more familiar to her than the previous Xu Que.

However, as the two walked along this campus road and gradually approached buildings like the teaching blocks, the number of students they encountered began to increase.

A young man like Xu Que, who was somewhat good-looking, was quite common in universities, but a woman like Xuan Yuan Wanrong, whose looks and temperament were both outstanding, could probably not be found elsewhere in the entire country, let alone in a university.

The key was that she was dressed entirely in white ancient-style clothing, making her especially conspicuous and easily attracting everyone's gaze.

In an instant, countless passing students were all stunned, regarding her as a celestial being.

"Damn, a beauty!"

"A great beauty!"

"Oh my god, this is incredible, am I fucking dreaming? When did our school get a beauty of this caliber?"

"Campus School Beauty feels like she's been instantly killed and surpassed!"

"With her style of dress, is she from the Han Manor Club? No, that doesn't look like Han Manor; could she be a celebrity actor?"

"Wait a minute, she seems to be following that man in front!"

"Who is that guy?"

The crowd's attention gradually shifted from being attracted by Xuan Yuan Wanrong to focusing on Xu Que, everyone looking at him.

Someone exclaimed on the spot: "Damn, it's that bastard Xu Que!"

"Xu Que? The Campus Top Ten Singers Champion, the Provincial College Entrance Exam Top Scorer, the one who took all this year's Scholarships, and the guy who runs after Lin Yuxi every day?"

"Damn, how does that guy know such a great beauty?"

"He probably tricked her, right? This guy is shameless; what wouldn't he do?"

Many people who recognized Xu Que began to wail in despair, mostly men.

In a place like a university campus, someone like Xu Que could almost be called a public enemy of males; he was somewhat good-looking, an academic overachiever, and crucially, had a shameless personality, so once he made a move, most girls would find it hard to escape his clutches.

However, since his freshman days, as soon as Xu Que entered the campus, he had openly locked his sights on Lin Yuxi.

As one of Lin Yuxi's many suitors, Xu Que was a somewhat famous existence; many people felt his success rate could be compared to that of the Xia Family's young master, Xia Luoqing.

What kind of existence was Xia Luoqing? The young master of a prestigious family in the Capital City, hailed as Beijing's Most Distinguished Young Master; how excellent and noble he was, yet he too was one of Lin Yuxi's suitors.

The fact that Xu Que could be compared to him was sufficient to show how close he usually stayed to Lin Yuxi.

After all, everyone on campus had witnessed it with their own eyes: although Xia Luoqing had superior personal conditions, he rarely seemed to get close to Lin Yuxi; whereas Xu Que could snatch a seat next to Lin Yuxi in class, grab the book Lin Yuxi wanted to read in the library first and wait for her to come ask him for it, and even when eating in the cafeteria, he had the thick skin to sit at the same table as Lin Yuxi and her female friends.

The key was that his rotten mouth could always make Lin Yuxi and the other girls burst into laughter.

Therefore, Xu Que's existence was something many people could not ignore; he had clearly become a prominent figure on campus.

However, seeing him now bringing an impossibly beautiful woman in ancient attire to appear at the school, many people felt the style was a bit off and were immensely curious.

"Where are you taking This Seat?" At the same time, Xuan Yuan Wanrong also spoke up voluntarily, looking at Xu Que to ask.

She had also noticed that there were more and more people around, and all eyes were focused on her and Xu Que, with constant discussion, wanting to figure out exactly what Xu Que intended to do.

"That's right, this lad is not a good person."

"Fairy sister, don't be deceived!"

"Xu Que, can you have some shame? Aren't you pursuing Lin Yuxi? How can you shift your affections so quickly?"

"Quick, whoever knows Campus School Beauty's phone number, let her come see this beast's true face."

The crowd shouted indignantly, mostly driven by jealousy, envy, and hatred.

Xu Que's face, however, bloomed with smiles; for no other reason than that the system's prompt sound had already rung in his mind, yielding over twenty Acting Cool Points.

He wasn't clear why his system had disappeared in the Memory World, only to be replaced by a Reproduction Version of the system, with everything starting over; these twenty-plus Acting Cool Points, for the current him, counted as a small fortune, and casually redeeming something from them would be enough to crush many Mortals.

However, this still wasn't enough!
