Chapter 43 April 3rd, Monday

Although Chen Yuan already knew his score, the specific ranking, and the ranking in each subject, were still unknown.

He still needed to go to school to show off… and see the results again.

What if Xiao Sun suddenly had a stroke of luck and got 710, rising to become one of the Xia Hai Ten Talents?

Also, this was a joint exam, and the cut-off scores had not yet been released. The ranking in the 13 schools was almost the ranking in the whole province, which he didn’t know yet.

So, there was still a lot of information worth obtaining.

Therefore, he woke up normally, brushed his teeth normally, and normally patted Xia Xinyu's butt.

However, it was this pat that suddenly made him notice an anomaly.

He saw a heart appear above Xia Xinyu, and the number behind the heart was 100.

A red heart with 100 behind it, did this mean…

Xia Xinyu had 100 hit points?

You've been playing too many games!

But soon, the number disappeared.

Chen Yuan thought about what he had done just now that caused the number to appear.

So, he patted Xinyu's cute little butt again.

Heart, 100.

It flashed out again.

In other words, as long as he patted Xia Xinyu's butt, he could see this number.

Would other methods work?

So…

Xia Xinyu, who was brushing her teeth, was patted a few times by Chen Yuan, but she didn't really care, after all, this was the norm for them.

Until Chen Yuan, standing behind her, reached around to the front with one hand, grabbing and squeezing her, her cheeks gradually turned red, and with toothpaste foam at the corners of her mouth, she couldn't help but remind him: "What are you doing in broad daylight?"

Couldn't a beautiful day start with a simple good morning kiss and a refreshing beginning?

But Chen Yuan wasn't ashamed of his behavior at all. Instead, after being criticized, he even more boldly cupped his hand around: "Milk cover."

"…Oh, stop it!"

This clearly exceeded the level of raunchy jokes that Yu Zi could tolerate, and then she directly pushed Chen Yuan out of the bathroom, and righteously said: "Xia Liu!" (shameless)

"…"

Indeed, Chen Yuan also felt that he was a breath of fresh air in Xia Hai.

So, he still hadn't figured out how to use his superpower?

Did he have to touch with his hand, or make physical contact, or did he have to make the butt-patting and milk-cover movements to trigger it?

Thinking this way, Chen Yuan set his sights on Yu Zi again.

So, he squatted down and stroked its head.

Then, hearts and numbers behind them popped up.

96.

At this point, Chen Yuan roughly understood.

Anyone he touched would have their affection for him displayed.

And the peak of affection was probably 100.

Why?

Because Yu Zi showed him 100.

From beginning to end, Xia Xinyu's love for Chen Yuan was one hundred percent, absolutely full.

"So, why isn't your love for me full? Even one percent less is betrayal, understand?"

Holding Yu Zi's two dog legs in his hands, and shaking this little bitch who only had 96 affection for him, Chen Yuan indignantly questioned.

"Where would you be without me? You're actually holding back on me?"

"Aren't you selfish!"

"Yu Zi, go wander around!"

…

While saying this, Chen Yuan also noticed a strange problem.

That was,

Why was his superpower in the first week so weak?

This strength didn't seem like the level of the first week at all.

It was similar to many superpowers after they were weakened in the second week.

After all, the condition for it to manifest was to touch first, then see it briefly.

How strange.

As he was thinking this, Yu Zi also finished brushing her teeth and walked out of the bathroom, heavily patting Chen Yuan's butt, then proudly raised her head and went to put dog food for Yu Zi.

And when she patted him, the affection level also popped up.

So it was just contact, not emphasizing who touched who?

Chen Yuan watched as the number above Xia Xinyu's head disappeared, and then, while waiting for dog food, Yu Zi licked its head against Xinyu.

At this time, both the person and the dog had numbers behind the hearts above their heads.

Xia Xinyu's side was 91, and Yu Zi's side was 99.

Understood!

This was the strength of the superpower!

To be able to see the affection between everyone when they touched each other!

So Yu Zi's affection for its owner was 96, but for Xinyu, who came later, it was 99?!

You motherfucker.

I was here first!

"Really, I've raised you for nothing. If I ever take the initiative to say a word to you again, I'm your pet." Pointing at Yu Zi's flattering smile towards Xinyu, Chen Yuan was truly disappointed.

"Why are you suddenly scolding the kid…"

Xia Xinyu, who was squatting on the ground feeding the dog, was puzzled.

You don't understand this feeling.

When you ask a child whether they like their father or mother, the only acceptable answers are 'like both' and 'like father', understand?

Forget it, Xinyuan is true love, Yu Zi is just an accident.

The two of them got ready and prepared to go out.

And as soon as they closed the door, Chen Yuan took Xia Xinyu's hand.

Xia Xinyu smiled and took his hand, intertwining their fingers.

"Why are you looking at me?" Xia Xinyu asked with a smile.

"If there's such a thing as affection levels, and the full score is one hundred, what's yours for me?" Chen Yuan asked curiously.

"Hmm…" Xia Xinyu thought for a while, then said, "One hundred and twenty, one hundred and thirty?"

"How can you add points? Are you a member of a minority ethnicity?"

"Because my love for you has no limit." Xia Xinyu said without any shame.

"Then why don't you say ten thousand?"

"Then it's ten thousand, one million."

"Okay, I got it."

Chen Yuan made an okay gesture, indicating that he understood.

At the same time, looking at the stable 100 above her head, the sense of security in his heart was really filled.

Xinyu's love really had no limit, it was just that the judgement mechanism was not romantic enough.

………

After arriving at school, Chen Yuan found that this superpower was really gossipy.

Some couples he knew had less than 90 affection for each other.

There were even those where one side had as high as 95, while the other side only had a mere 70-something.

I really don't understand, what do you like about him, little sister?

Are you after his big Dior?

I wronged Yu Zi.

An affection level of 96 was extremely rare in this world.

Compared to those classmates who only had a little over 50 for each other, Yu Zi's love was really too strong.

…

With such feelings, Chen Yuan went to the classroom.

Coincidentally, He Sijiao was chatting with Tang Siwen at the door.

So he curiously patted her.

Then, he saw the affection level above Jiao-jie's head appear.

91

Holy shit, that's high!

"What?" He Sijiao looked at Chen Yuan unhappily, fiercely saying.

"It's nothing, I just think Jiao-jie is quite cute."

"Cute your mua!" With a red face, He Sijiao punched Chen Yuan's abdomen.

87

I went, the affection level dropped!

So brain-dead remarks really could lower the other party's affection!

But even if it dropped, Jiao-jie still liked me a lot…

Then should I touch Bao Bao Daren? (Tang Siwen's nickname)

As Chen Yuan was thinking this, he met her gaze and dismissed the thought.

Honestly, he wasn't too sure…

Then touch someone else.

No, why should I touch people?

Is other people's affection so important to me?

Am I the kind of person who would be affected by other people's inner feelings?

Is the Earth President such a fragile person?

Just then, Zhou Yu passed by yawning.

Then Chen Yuan accidentally used the Iron Mountain Lean (a wrestling move).

"Ouch, what are you doing~" Zhou Yu was a little dissatisfied with being bumped.

94.

"…No, nothing."

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, then sat back in his seat.

At this moment, his mood was very complicated.

He hadn't seen such a high number as 94 even between a couple…

You motherfucker, are the officials selling boy love?!

Doing this kind of disgusting thing, you really have no shame!

Why do I need to know Yu Zi's affection for me.

This dumb superpower, end quickly.

No, he might just have such a high affection for everyone.

After all, Zhou Yu was such a warm-hearted male high school student…

Then, Chen Yuan began to observe Zhou Yu's contact with others.

So, he saw him touch Zhang Chao.

Zhou Yu: 86

Zhang Chao: 88

It didn't even reach ninety…

But it's still so high.

Zhang Chao then touched Tang Jian.

Zhang Chao: 88

Tang Jian: 85

No, these two are also high.

What about Liu Yan x Zhou Yu?

Zhou Yu: 83

Liu Yan: 85

Hiss, this pair is also high!

Suddenly, Chen Yuan realized a very serious problem.

It wasn't that Zhou Yu or Zhang Chao were particularly warm-hearted, but that the entire Class 18's boys were very warm-hearted with each other!

Mo Jingyu, what kind of stuff did you teach a bunch of?

Seriously, why are a bunch of boys playing so well.

Go find girlfriends.

"Class monitor, hand in your homework."

At this time, Chen Yuan saw He Meng talking to Zhang Chao.

Then, curiosity erupted strongly.

He and Tang Jian had forcefully paired these two up and encouraged Zhang Chao to pursue her.

Maybe something really happened between these two?

But these two hadn't touched each other.

At this time, Zhou Fu happened to come in, walking towards this side.

And in order to make way for her, Zhang Chao naturally leaned towards He Meng.

Hehe, Chao-zi, you're playing this little trick, huh?

Seeking deliberate physical contact.

That's you.

…

The corners of Chen Yuan's mouth unconsciously curved up.

But the next moment, he pursed his lips.

Zhang Chao: 74

He Meng: 71

Hmm, the scope of normal friends.

Moreover, they were the kind of normal friends who didn't have any ideas in their hearts.

Lao Mo, the boys in your class are all useless.

You can donate your dicks to people who need them.

"Good morning." Zhou Fu greeted Chen Yuan tiredly.

"Good morning."

Chen Yuan also responded, then leaned his body slightly to let Zhou Fu in.

Then, he could judge the change in the other party's weight through the force of the rub.

Undoubtedly, this Fu-zi had gained a little weight again.

It was hard to imagine what this guy would become after sitting still all day after senior year…

Chen Yuan sat up straight, and his line of sight happened to glance at her number.

A number he hadn't seen many times so far.

"Didn't you sleep well?" Chen Yuan looked at her and asked.

"I was reading manga too late, hai--"

After yawning, Zhou Fu lay on the table.

Then, she directly made a 'really makes your face flat' emoji…

"Your milk." Zhou Fu lazily took out a box of breakfast milk from her bag and placed it in front of Chen Yuan.

"Hmm, thanks."

"…" Hearing this, Zhou Fu was stunned, then looked at Chen Yuan, revealing a smile, quite surprised, "You always asked me for things without saying thank you, why are you so polite today?"

"Uh." Chen Yuan ignored her, inserted the straw and started drinking.

This made Zhou Fu feel even stranger.

What's wrong with Chen Yuan today?

He was a little awkward and a little cute…

"What's wrong with you? Are you in love?" Zhou Fu was really curious.

"What are you talking about? It's pure friendship, you understand? Just normal good friends." Chen Yuan defended.

"Eh? Who are you talking about, who are you talking about?" Zhou Fu became more and more curious and started gently nudging Chen Yuan with her elbow.

The 99 above her head was constantly popping up…

"I'm talking about Zhou Yu."

"…" Zhou Fu covered her mouth with both hands, looking at Chen Yuan with an excited expression, "Really?"

Chen Yuan wanted to turn off this affection level superpower.

Although human nature is to want to know how others really think of them.

Especially after it's specifically converted into a value, it feels like it makes people look forward to it.

But after really seeing some numbers that are too high, it's really awkward…

Like Fu-zi next to him.

If she was even 1 point higher, then the kinship would really deteriorate.

Like Zhou Yu in front of him.

Chen Yuan sincerely felt that it would be okay for the two of them to have 85 to 90, but any higher would really be disgusting.

And Jiao-jie.

With you like this, I really want to NTR Yu Zi!

Just as Chen Yuan was still feeling a little awkward, the class suddenly saw a flow of people.

Some people gathered together at the podium.

At this time, Lao Mo came in, holding the report cards in his hand.

So everyone surrounded him, wanting to see their scores.

Suddenly there were many, many numbers.

The small Tang Siwen was like this on the outside, looking inside.

Zhu Zihao, who was next to her, had a 90 popping out above his head.

…

But Tang Siwen only had a mere 60.

Wait, Zihao-ge, don't you like my Fu?

How do you have such a high affection level for Bao Bao Daren?

So you love anyone who's beautiful!

"Holy shit!"

"What the hell!"

"I went, is this even human?!"

Just then, exclamations suddenly erupted.

Then, everyone turned their heads together to look at Chen Yuan.

"No, what outrageous score did you get again?" Zhou Yu was numb, looking at Chen Yuan nervously.

"Ah, I don't know." Chen Yuan put on a look of confusion.

Then, Zhou Fu showed a contemptuous expression: Didn't you already know the score?

At the same time, Lao Mo also looked at Chen Yuan speechlessly.

I was the one who told you the score, what are you pretending for?

This kid must be enjoying this feeling of being praised.

"Teacher, what is the total ranking at the back?" He Meng asked Lao Mo in confusion.

"This is the ranking of the thirteen schools." Lao Mo said.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened.

The total ranking of the thirteen most awesome schools in the province had all come out?

"Then Chen Yuan's 17 must be…"

"17th in the province?!"
