Love Rival Romance System Chapter 23 - Feeding Biscuits

Chapter 23: Feeding Biscuits

Jiang Yang picked up his pen and wrote a sentence onto it before throwing the note back to him.

Qin Xu opened it and saw that he wrote a few words on the back —– If you’re sick, take your medications!

Qin Xu felt wronged. He was complimenting him, and he got scolded instead. And so, he vented his frustrations on the system, “See that? That’s why I’m saying that your tasks are useless. You should give it up. You are not suitable for this. You need to rely on your sincerity when you are trying to become friends!”

He had already started so he did all that he could to try to discourage that stupid system of his.

Unfortunately, it looked like the system didn’t notice his intentions at all and only felt that his host this time is hard to deal with – one of the worse that it’s ever had!

The system strived its best to maintain its cool: “The task is completed. Congratulations.”

Qin Xu was dissatisfied: “No rewards with completion but punishments if failure to complete it. Isn’t this too unfair?”

The system’s response was also filled with nonsense: “Friends.h.i.+p. Isn’t that the best reward that you can get? It is more precious than priceless treasure.”

Qin Xu who is used to speaking nonsense with his own mouth found himself covered in goose b.u.mps with his sudden exposure to nonsensical talk from someone else.

He commented insincerely. “What you said really makes sense. I beeeep——-”

Following that was a series of curses that were censored out. Qin Xu was momentarily amazed. He didn’t expect that the system would also have such a function.

The system said faintly: “Swearing is wrong.”

Qin Xu: “…..” Retributions always came fast, and Qin Xu finally experienced the grievances Jiang Yang had suffered through.

Time had pa.s.sed unknowingly and soon it was the end of cla.s.s. Based on his calculations, Qin Xu estimated that he still had about twenty minutes until he could talk and decided that he should use this time to concentrate on playing his game on his phone. He was thankful that the teacher didn’t ask him to answer a question otherwise he could only cough a few times and write an explanation on his workbook to explain that he had a cold and couldn’t speak.

The system suddenly spoke up: “Random task: Please share the biscuit with Jiang Yang. Time limit of one minute. If you fail, the voice change penalty will be extended to 24 hours.”

Again.

Qin Xu was cursed internally as he bit onto a Pocky stick but, to avoid that voice potentially ruining his handsome image, he pushed his bag of Pocky over to Jiang Yang’s side and indicated for him to take some.

Jiang Yang glanced at him. With his gaze gradually becoming filled with more confusion, he shook his head, “No thanks.”

But because of the time limit, Qin Xu didn’t give him the opportunity to refuse. Without a word he pulled one out and forcefully stuffed it into Jiang Yang’s mouth. Jiang Yang was not prepared for it and could only stare at him dumbfoundedly with the Pocky in his mouth.

Qin Xu lifted the corners of his lips and smiled as if he was saying ‘You’re welcome’.

Jiang Yang was speechless but since the biscuit was already in his mouth he could only accept it. Without using his hands, he chewed onto the Pocky stick and, little by little, it became shorter and shorter. That appearance of his looked like a little hamster gnawing on melon seeds.

Unexpectedly, it was pretty cute.

Qin Xu watched him and thought this.

In fact, Qin Xu’s opinion of the system is similar to that of Jiang Yang’s. Their degree of resentment towards the tasks wasn’t very intense. Compared to that, they were more annoyed at the fact that they were commanded around to complete the tasks. They preferred being able to act on their own without the need to be directed around.

Jiang Yang was forcefully fed the biscuit but since his taste is similar to Qin Xu’s, he naturally didn’t hate it. He just felt that something was wrong with Qin Xu and was momentarily making fun of him. He glanced at him momentarily before going back to what he was doing.

Until the bell indicating the start of cla.s.s rang, Jiang Yang remained expressionless and ignored him. After hara.s.sing him several times and even getting a scolding after pa.s.sing him a paper note, Qin Xu couldn’t help but suspect that Jiang Yang was annoyed at him and wasn’t in a good mood. In the past, he would deliberately provoke Jiang Yang and, since he did it out of his own will, he didn’t mind but this time it was because of the system and he felt extremely wronged. Thinking for a while, he decided to try and explain his situation.

On a paper note he wrote —- You might not believe this, but I was forced to do those things earlier. I’m starting to doubt science.

Jiang Yang looked at those two sentences that had no context behind it and couldn’t understand what he was trying to say.

Qin Xu gritted his teeth and decided to write system onto the paper but, despite clearly being able to write properly earlier, he suddenly felt as if he was manipulated by a mysterious force and instead drew a series of scribbles. It was extremely strange. He frowned and proceeded to write something else only to find that he had returned to normal.

To think that there are actually restrictions like this!

Jiang Yang saw that he was scribbling on the paper and felt certain that he was just joking around. He laughed at himself for temporarily suspecting that he knew something and proceeded to look back at the blackboard.

However, no less than a minute later, a fluffy head moved over to him and whispered: “…..The system forced me to do it.”

Jiang Yang’s eyes widened, and he quickly turned to look at him only to see Qin Xu’s equally surprised face. Qin Xu didn’t expect to find that that he could actually say it.

But, almost at the same time Jiang Yang also noticed his strange voice. After a moment of daze, he tried to best to suppress his laugh and asked, “You, what happened to your voice?”

The moment he asked this, Qin Xu became very annoyed. He muttered: “It’s all because of that stupid system….”

The two leaned towards each other and quietly conversed but the teacher on the podium naturally isn’t blind. He immediately smiled and pointed out Jiang Yang and then Qin Xu.

“You two, come up and answer these two questions.”

He swept a look of warning at the two whose faces were close to the point that it almost touched. They instantly shrank back and obediently walked up to the podium to pick up the chalk.

There were three questions on the board, so the teacher also randomly picked out a girl. It just happened that the girl was someone who had a crush of Jiang Yang and many of the fellow students who knew about this giggled when they saw this.

The girl was originally quite calm but the moment she heard her cla.s.smates’ giggles, she couldn’t help but feel a little shy. She walked up to the podium slowly and stood next to Jiang Yang before picking up a piece of chalk. Turning her head, she could see the side profile of the handsome young man. The corner of her lips curved up as she looked down in embarra.s.sment.

Jiang Yang was also laughing and was doing his best to suppress it. After hearing that arrogant guy’s voice change so dramatically and discovering the fact that he may also know something about the system, he felt very excited. He couldn’t wait till he could finally clear things up.

Qin Xu stood next to him and naturally could see that he was trying to suppress his laughter. He also knew that he was laughing at him, but he couldn’t speak and felt extremely wronged. He could only stubbornly use his eyes to glare at him. The moment Jiang Yang remembered that voice of his, he didn’t find his glare ferocious at all. Instead, all he could think about was Minions and their cute antics.

The teacher who watched from one side could no longer restrain himself: “That’s enough you two. Stop looking at each other so lovingly at the podium!”

One of the students sitting on the first row said with a small voice: “Teacher, I don’t think you’re using that phrase correctly….”

The author has something to say:

Teacher: Of course, I know that. I deliberately said that to tease those two! Qin Xu & Jiang Yang: ……Should we tell the teacher that he is actually right?
