74: Chapter 74 The Little Ambiguity at the Cinema

"Repeating a year?"

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment.

Afterwards, he burst out laughing.

He really hadn't expected it.

By casually completing a system task, he had actually managed to save a wayward girl on the side.

Just then, the system prompt sounded in Jiang Li's mind.

[ Ding! ]

[ Congratulations to the host for completing the task: The Rich Man's Youth. ]

[ Detected that the host has exceeded the task requirements. ]

[ Additional reward: Charisma +1. ]

[ The Monopoly Investment Company is heading to the billiard hall. Please wait a moment, host. ]

Jiang Li's eyes lit up instantly.

"Charisma?"

This attribute had never appeared in the system before.

Could it be that after adding Charisma, he had become more handsome?

Jiang Li subconsciously touched his face, feeling like nothing had changed.

But the next second, he noticed Du Aoling staring at him.

"Brother."

Du Aoling's voice softened a bit.

"You look so handsome right now."

Jiang Li felt assured in his heart.

The system's attribute was indeed not just for show.

"How am I handsome?"

Jiang Li looked at her, "Tell me in detail."

Du Aoling was stunned for a moment.

She clearly hadn't expected Jiang Li to ask so specifically.

Shouldn't a normal person just laugh it off when complimented on being handsome?

Why did he want a detailed report?

However, she still stared at Jiang Li seriously for a while.

"It's just... you feel different."

"You seem more confident?"

She thought for a moment and added.

"Just one look, and it's easy to be influenced by you."

Jiang Li nodded, understanding.

Handsomeness is a feeling.

Some people have decent features, but standing there, they have no presence.

Some people don't use refined filters, yet just by raising their eyes, they can make people look for an extra two seconds.

This thing must be Charisma.

Compared to this billiard hall, this bit of Charisma was the biggest gain this time.

The billiard hall is just an asset, but Charisma is a permanent skin.

Huge profit!

The Blue-haired Girl was still holding her phone and crying at this moment.

The Red-haired Girl and the Green-haired Girl stood by, comforting her while secretly looking at Jiang Li.

They had thought Jiang Li was annoying just a moment ago.

Looking at him now, they inexplicably felt he was indeed a bit different.

Especially that moment when he put down the pool cue.

It was really quite handsome.

But they definitely couldn't say that.

Otherwise, not only would Blue-haired Girl have to repeat a year today, she might even cut ties with them.

Not long after, a woman in professional attire walked into the billiard hall.

Jiang Li recognized her at a glance; she was the same beautiful woman he had seen at the Cheyou Car Dealership last time.

The woman walked up to Jiang Li and handed him a document with a smile.

"Mr. Jiang."

"The acquisition procedures have been completed."

"This billiard hall is currently operating normally, and the relevant assets and operating rights have been transferred."

"Once you sign, this place will officially be an asset under your name."

Jiang Li took the document and glanced at it.

He didn't really understand the content.

But anything from the system basically doesn't need to be doubted.

He picked up a pen and signed it directly.

The people nearby were originally still watching the Blue-haired Girl cry.

As a result, seeing this scene, they were all stunned.

What is going on?

How did the billiard hall change owners in the blink of an eye?

The Blue-haired Girl even stopped crying for a moment.

She looked at Jiang Li, then at the document, and was even more bewildered.

No way.

Not only did she lose the game today, but her base was taken over by someone?

Isn't this social beating a bit too extreme?

Just then, a student nearby suddenly exclaimed.

"Holy crap!"

"This is so romantic!"

Jiang Li: "?"

The student became more and more excited as he spoke.

"After venting for his girlfriend here, he even bought the shop directly."

"Even in Korean dramas, they don't spoil their wives like this!"

Once these words were spoken, the people around immediately reacted.

"Damn, it seems like it!"

"This is too handsome."

"If I were a girl, I would already be thinking about what to name our children."

"Stop thinking about it, you can't even catch up to his car wheels."

Du Aoling's pretty face turned beet red.

She was originally still immersed in the feeling of Jiang Li becoming more handsome.

As a result, being shouted at by the people nearby, she felt all lightheaded.

Although she didn't mind it in her heart.

But being watched by so many people, she really couldn't handle it.

Du Aoling quickly grabbed Jiang Li's arm and walked out with her head down.

"Brother."

"It's too embarrassing here."

"Let's go."

Jiang Li was dragged out by her and couldn't help but smile.

This little girl is still thin-skinned.

If it were Wang Yaoyao, she would probably have already started taking photos with him while holding his arm.

After the two left the billiard hall, Du Aoling finally let out a sigh of relief.

However, the blush on her face hadn't faded yet.

She secretly glanced at Jiang Li and asked in a low voice:

"Brother..."

"Let me treat you to a movie, okay?"

Jiang Li saw her embarrassed look and didn't refuse.

"Sure."

"Then let's go see a movie."

There weren't any popular new movies at this time.

There were very few people in the cinema.

Du Aoling looked around at the movie listings and finally chose a horror movie.

Jiang Li glanced at her.

"Are you sure about this one?"

Du Aoling nodded.

"Sure."

She said it seriously, but actually, she hadn't really watched many horror movies.

But she had read in a book before that horror movies are the easiest way to spark romantic feelings between men and women.

She didn't know exactly how it happened.

But since the book said so, it couldn't be completely baseless, right?

Du Aoling was not very confident in her practical experience.

But she believed in knowledge!

The two entered the cinema hall.

After entering, they realized it was empty inside.

Except for the two of them, there was absolutely no one else.

Du Aoling's eyes lit up.

"Brother."

"We are so lucky."

"I didn't expect we'd have the whole place to ourselves!"

Jiang Li wasn't too surprised.

There were few people in the county cinema to begin with.

At this time, it wasn't a popular movie anyway.

Having the whole place to themselves was normal.

But Du Aoling was obviously very happy.

She held the popcorn and followed Jiang Li to find their seats and sit down.

There were only the two of them in the entire cinema hall.

As the lights dimmed, the space suddenly became quiet.

Du Aoling's heart was beating a bit fast.

She felt this move was solid.

A horror movie.

An empty cinema hall.

Jiang Li sitting beside her.

If romantic feelings still couldn't be sparked, it could only mean the book was wrong.

The movie started quickly.

At the beginning, there were no images yet.

The screen went black.

The BGM started playing first.

"Thump..."

A low sound echoed in the cinema hall.

Du Aoling froze instantly.

She suddenly realized a very serious problem.

She hadn't watched horror movies.

And she seemed to be really afraid of this.

As soon as the BGM started, her scalp was already tingling.

How is this sparking romantic feelings?

This is preparing to send her to her grave!

The next second, a black shadow suddenly flashed across the screen.

Before Du Aoling could even scream, she subconsciously threw herself onto Jiang Li.

Jiang Li reacted very quickly.

His right hand skillfully reached forward and caught her directly.

As a result, just as his arm landed, his movement paused.

The tactile sensation was a bit off.

Through the clothes, he could feel a taut and elastic curve.

Du Aoling's body tightened instantly.

She was originally scared.

Now, she was even more afraid to move because of this.

The two were silent for a second.

Du Aoling's face turned red enough to burn.

She finally understood a little.

So this is how horror movies spark romantic feelings?!
