Chapter 558：The Lonely Top Student 21

Hearing what Jiao Tong said, Tang Wan suddenly smiled.

“Because I felt that Tongtong needed me very much right now! So I rushed over immediately!”

Jiao Tong froze.

A warm current surged through his chest.

Even though he knew she might be joking… hearing those words still gave him the strange feeling of being remembered—of someone always thinking of him.

“Dip! Jiao Tong’s favorability +5. Current favorability: 75.”

Tang Wan couldn’t help chuckling when she heard the notification.

Looks like rushing over was the right move.

She looked at him gently. “Tongtong, who was that man just now? I think he’s one of us.”

“…He is. A celestial master,” Jiao Tong replied softly.

Tang Wan nodded, then said reassuringly, “Don’t worry. He won’t discover anything unusual about you.”

With the help of the soul-repair liquid, Tongtong’s soul had already strengthened significantly. If the Jiao family’s son tried anything again, he’d be suppressed easily.

If that evil spirit had any sense, it would leave on its own.

Hearing this, Jiao Tong finally relaxed.

He looked at her seriously. “Thank you… for coming to help me.”

“You’re welcome. After all, we’re destined… well, a couple,” Tang Wan said with a straight face, her expression affectionate and sincere. “If you’re in danger, I’ll definitely feel it immediately—and I’ll come save you right away.”

Jiao Tong was stunned by the look in her eyes.

He wanted to tell himself it was fake.

They had only known each other for a few days—how could she like him so quickly?

But when he met her gaze… he couldn’t help believing her.

His heartbeat sped up uncontrollably.

If Tang Wan really liked him…

…it didn’t seem like a bad thing at all.

“Dip! Jiao Tong’s favorability +2. Current favorability: 77.”

Seeing this, Tang Wan blinked at him. “What? You don’t believe me? I swear I really like you! Love at first sight!”

Jiao Tong felt like someone had opened a bottle of soda in his chest—sweet bubbles rising endlessly.

But on the surface, he stayed calm.

“Love at first sight… is just momentary surprise,” he said coolly.

Tang Wan twitched her lips, then nodded honestly. “You’re right! It started with surprise—but I promise I’m not the kind of shallow girl who only looks at appearances! My love for you begins with your looks… and ends with your soul!”

Jiao Tong’s cheeks heated up.

She was bold.

Too bold.

But… he liked it.

“Dip! Jiao Tong’s favorability +2. Current favorability: 79.”

“Host! This is the critical moment—keep going!” Little Cutie urged.

“Got it,” Tang Wan replied inwardly.

At that moment, Jiao Tong couldn’t help curling his lips slightly. “Really? I think that still needs verification. What if you fall for someone else’s looks at first sight?”

Hearing that, Tang Wan immediately raised her hand solemnly.

“Absolutely not! Tongtong, you are the most handsome person in the world to me—no one compares! And since I already have you, why would I care about anyone else’s looks?”

Just as she finished speaking—

Little Cutie suddenly projected images of Feng Qitong—including their intimate moments from before.

Tang Wan: !!!

AHHHHH!

…Okay, fine.

This Tongtong is also the most handsome!
