Another "player" has set her sights on my boyfriend. When Julian plays basketball, she brings him candy. When he studies, she asks him questions. She uses every trick in the book, flirting relentlessly. I can't help but laugh. After all, I'm a "player" too. Everything she's doing? I did it first. 1 A new girl transferred to our class. She's stunning, outgoing, and charming. Within a few days, she was friends with everyone. A classmate warned me: "Babe, watch out for that girl, Serena." "I saw her giving water to Julian yesterday." Julian is my boyfriend. Everyone in school knows this. Julian and I were even called to the principal's office because of our relationship. In the end, we made a three-point pact: we can date, but no PDA at school, no crossing the line, and no affecting our grades. It was a huge topic of gossip back then, and people still bring it up. Serena is so popular; she can't possibly be unaware. I paused while solving a math problem. "She's just a nice person. Bringing water to a classmate is normal." My friend looked around, then lowered her voice. "It's not just water. She gave him gummy bears. Strawberry flavor, if I'm not mistaken." "When has Julian ever eaten candy? You seriously need to watch out." I finished the calculation and wrote down "A". That was the last multiple-choice question on the practice test. Putting down my pen, I gave her a reassuring smile. "Thanks, but I trust Julian." She pouted, looking at me like I was a lost cause. "You're just too innocent." "Be careful. I'll keep an eye on things for you when I can." I hugged her. "Babe, you're the best." She looked down at me and poked my forehead. "Use your head a little." I smiled sweetly at her, my eyes curving into crescents. I didn't tell her that the pack of strawberry gummies was in my backpack. 2 Strawberry gummies are my favorite. Julian couldn't find them at the school store that day. Serena went to bring him water. Julian didn't even glance at her. He just waved his hand slightly, the Hello Kitty wristband on his wrist catching everyone's eye. I bought that wristband as a joke after seeing it on TikTok. Who knew that ever since I bought it for him, he would wear it every time he played basketball. Serena seemed prepared and didn't mind. She opened her hand, smiling brightly. "I also brought you some candy. Want some to recover your energy?" Julian caught a glimpse of the candy, and his eyes changed instantly. His gaze moved slowly from the strawberry gummies to Serena's face. Serena smiled, glancing at Julian and then looking away. Her expression was shy, like a girl playing hard to get with her crush. Even a heart of stone would be moved. Sure enough, Julian spoke to Serena. His first words were: "My girlfriend brought me water." "My girlfriend likes this candy. Can I buy it from you to give to her?" Serena's smile almost cracked. After a long pause, she managed to maintain her gentle facade and said softly: "It's not worth much. Take it as a gift." Julian frowned slightly, his tone a bit firmer. "She's my girlfriend." Watching this, I had a hard time holding back my laughter. When Julian brought me the candy, I almost kissed him right there. My eyes were overflowing with laughter. Julian just thought I was happy to receive the candy. He looked at me quietly, his eyes calm. I teased him. "Good boy. I'll kiss you when we get home." Julian froze for a moment, then softly hummed a "mm." When he turned to leave, his slightly red ears betrayed him. So innocent. 3 That classmate was right. Serena does have designs on my boyfriend. She's a "player" who transmigrated into this world with a mission to conquer him. Unfortunately for her, so am I. My system told me it could livestream her mission progress for me. She wouldn't know. I really want to see how long she can keep this up. It'll add some fun to my boring study life. 4 After finishing the math test, I took out my physics workbook to review my mistakes. When I got frustrated, I sneakily popped a gummy into my mouth. [System, can you just kill her? She's seriously interfering with my mission to conquer Julian.] The gummy wasn't even fully chewed when a cold female voice rang out. I turned my head slightly. Serena was staring at me intently. Seeing me look at her, Serena quickly put on an innocent smile, pure as a lotus flower. Her system replied: [This skill cannot be triggered in a sweet campus romance novel.] Serena pinched her fingers, unhappy but holding it in. Her lips moved, seemingly asking: "Do you like this brand of gummies too?" I pretended not to understand and smiled back. Trying to sow discord? Won't work on me. Someone poked my back with a pen. Julian casually capped his pen. "Finished the problems?" "Focus." He didn't even look at me, flipping the page as he spoke. I caught a glimpse of the endless checkmarks on his page, choked up internally, and hurriedly turned back to my work. A soft chuckle came from behind. I didn't need to turn around to imagine the helpless expression on Julian's face.
