Standing in front of Wen Nan was a sports school girl with a slender waist, long legs, and a firm, perky backside, radiating a healthy wheat complexion.
The girl's nose was high and straight, her eyes deep-set, and her eyelashes curled and upturned. Her features were exquisite and well-defined, complented by her healthy, dark skin, giving her an exotic flair that made her look like a mixed-race beauty at first glance.
With such outstanding and distinctive looks, her beauty was by no ans inferior to that of the school belle Wu Yuwei. At this mont, however, her pupils turned crimson, exuding an intimidating aura that warned strangers to stay away, making her sowhat terrifying to behold.
It seed this was the fiery sports school beauty people were talking about.
Just as Wen Nan was thinking, a voice introducing her profile echoed in his mind:
[Na: Lin Fengjiao (Little Pepper)]
[Identity: A hot-tempered sports school girl with a spicy personality]
[Background: You t Little Pepper at a social dinner between Qi Middle School and the sports school. During that dinner, Little Pepper was like a small sun, capturing the attention of many boys, who approached her trying to chat and asked for her contact information, only to be directly and bluntly rejected by her.
When everyone thought she wasn't interested in boys and backed off, Little Pepper stood up, walked up to you amid the uproar, and bluntly expressed her feelings for you.
Being a boy in the pri of puberty, you admitted that you were also attracted to Little Pepper's luscious looks and long legs at the ti, but you believed that love should not be based on a fleeting impulse or re infatuation. The two of you did not know each other well enough to beco boyfriend and girlfriend, so you politely yet gracefully declined Little Pepper.
Undeterred by the rejection, Little Pepper shouted in front of everyone, "Ye Jiu, I won't give up! From now on, I will keep pursuing you until you change your mind!"
Since then, Little Pepper would wait for you at the entrance of Qi Middle School every holiday, unwaveringly persisting over these three years until now.]
[Strategy Difficulty: ★★★☆]
Judging by the strategy difficulty, Little Pepper and Qiqi are on par, both rated at three and a half stars, so theoretically it shouldn't be difficult.
However, Wen Nan realized things weren't that simple.
Clearly, sothing had happened to send Little Pepper into a rage, making her much harder to deal with than usual.
Hearing Little Pepper's questioning voice, Wen Nan took out his phone to see the 99 ssage notifications at the top left of his chat with her.
"Uh, sorry, I got caught up with sothing earlier and didn't notice the ssages." Wen Nan offered an apologetic smile, trying to change the subject, "It's not the weekend today, why is there suddenly a holiday?"
Little Pepper ignored Wen Nan's question, stepped closer to him, and pursued, "What were you so busy with that you couldn't even reply to my ssage?"
Earlier, Wen Nan had gone on a date with Qiqi and then took Xiao Wei to the hospital, things he probably couldn't ntion to Little Pepper.
He needed to think of an excuse to calm her emotions.
As Wen Nan was pondering, the girl in front of him lost her patience during his brief hesitation.
Stepping backward several tis, the enraged Little Pepper roared, her body swelling to twice its original size, her skin darkening, carbonizing, and cracking into grooves.
From the cracks in her skin, glaring orange flas erupted, engulfing her entire body in blazing fire, as if she were a fire demon rising from hell.
...
...
[Is this really just three and a half stars?]
[This looks almost like five stars!]
[Is a girl ghost in frenzy really this terrifying?]
[Oh my gosh, I feel like I'd get scorched raw just getting within five steps of her?]
[So hot, so hot]
[What should I do?]
[How co I feel like even the boss might not handle this well, his expression looks like he's quite troubled]
...
...
Wen Nan indeed felt troubled.
He sighed softly, "Sigh, it's just unread ssages... Does it warrant such fury?"
...
...
[???]
[Boss, are you sure it's just about not replying to ssages?]
[You think it's really that simple? She's spitting fire!]
[Look, the boss is moving forward! He's about to make a move!]
[Sure enough, the boss is the boss! He surely has a way to handle the berserk Little Pepper]
[Waiting for the boss to strike]
...
...
Wen Nan, with cautious probing, took two steps toward the fiery Little Pepper.
Fortunately, it wasn't as scorching as he had imagined.
He raised both hands high, successfully catching Little Pepper's attention.
Being stared at tightly by those scarlet eyes, Wen Nan's throat bobbed as he hesitated to start speaking:
"Little Pepper, you... you listen to my explanation."
...
...
[(⊙_◎)]
[Is that it? Is that it? Is that it?]
[Is this what they call the boss's move?]
[Isn't this ga over?]
[I feel like the boss is going to fail this ti]
[Praying]
[Praying]
...
...
It wasn't just the comnts, even Wen Nan himself felt he made a lousy move.
He regretted it as soon as he opened his mouth, but it was too late.
Just as he finished speaking, Little Pepper, the "fire demon," howled to the sky, the flas around her exploding with crackling sound.
The flas scorched the nearby viewing platform, blackening the cold stone stage.
Wen Nan squinted his eyes against the flas, feeling quite at a loss.
As expected, he was still not good at coaxing angry girls, and the pale excuse of "listen to my explanation" did indeed only fuel the fire, didn't it?
Since Little Pepper's appearance, the system awakened in Wen Nan's mind now chid in again.
9527: [May I offer you assistance?]
Wen Nan: [Yes]
It'd be nice if the system could give him a book on "The Art of Communication" to teach him what to say in such a situation.
However, the system opened up the [Store] for him, pulling up an item—
[Safety Bubble: Equipping this grants the wearer immunity to all attacks for 30 minutes. (Only applicable to targets rated four stars or below)]
9527: [Would you like to purchase it with Gold Coin now?]
Wen Nan: ...
The girl is angry, and the suggestion is for him to hide in the [Safety Bubble] and do nothing, like a turtle retracting into its shell? This would only worsen their relationship, wouldn't it?
Wen Nan: [Forget it]
He decided to solve the problem in his own way.
The flas in front were still blazing, and Wen Nan took a deep breath and dashed straight into the fiery abyss.
With both hands propped on either side of the fiery girl's head, Wen Nan constrained her in a standard "kabedon" pose against the corner.
The berserk Little Pepper hadn't anticipated he'd pull such a move, leaving her dumbfounded: ?
After a brief stupor, Little Pepper opened her gaping mouth to spit fire, but in the next mont, he silenced her by kissing her forcefully, sealing her lips and extinguishing the flas.
Little Pepper grumbled in dissatisfaction from her throat, lifting her hand to lightly pound Wen Nan's shoulder in protest, but the violent aura around her quickly subsided, reverting to the deanor of a normal girl.
Wen Nan chuckled inwardly.
Indeed, a good explanation was redundant when a kiss proved more effective.
However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a new crisis arose—
While cornering Little Pepper and kissing her, from the corner of his eye, he noticed another figure approaching.
It was his fourth strategy target.
And that woman carried an aura of violence no less intense than Little Pepper's.
Wen Nan: ...
What was he supposed to do? That sa move couldn't work for everyone, right?
And even if he wanted to, he couldn't use that one move on everyone now because he had no mouths left to spare...
