She became a heartthrob among internet celebrities.

Chapter 11: Perfect Harmony x Romantic Partners

As soon as Jiang Lai opened her eyes, she quickly sat up in bed. Before she even fully opened her eyes, she groggily touched herself and let out a silly giggle, "Hehehe!"

001: "Don't do that, it's a bit too much for my eyes."

"My S-curve is back!" Jiang Lai immediately perked up.

"That's right! The system's rewards were successfully distributed last night."

Jiang Lai took out her phone, having slept until noon again. "I'm going to check the bathroom!" she said, grabbing her toiletries and rushing out of the room.

In the bathroom mirror, she appeared as she was now, with a pale, malnourished complexion and features that were far from beautiful. But looking down, she had a tall figure with good proportions, full curves, and a shapely bust and buttocks.

Jiang Lai rolled up her pajamas and tried to reach her waist. Her waist was slender and firm, like a flower stem that would break with the slightest touch.

Even this pajamas that had been washed until they were fuzzy looked good now.

She turned to the side, and her originally gaunt figure was gone, replaced by a perfectly proportioned, graceful curve. Any more would be too gaudy, any less would be too bland; she was just right, perfectly proportioned in every way.

Jiang Lai laughed happily, then exclaimed in surprise, "Eh?" and leaned closer to the mirror, "I just realized that the original owner actually had dimples! They were quite pretty!"

Jiang Lai had never really looked at this face closely before when she was smiling, but now her smile was genuine, making it more vibrant and her dimples appear even more charming.

Jiang Lai squeezed out some toothpaste and started brushing her teeth, asking indistinctly, "It seems that the sleep-aid video from yesterday was quite popular!"

001: "Yeah, we finished the mission in the middle of the night!"

"Gurgle—ah—looks like I can post more videos like this in the future, gurgle gurgle—"

"What do you think—how about I become a sleep aid broadcaster?"

001 had no objection and said, "It's fine, it depends on your own wishes. Oh right, I should let you know that yesterday I gained 40 points of favorability with Fu Changyuan, a high-quality romanceable character, 50 points of favorability with Bai Luxi, and 69 points of favorability with Fu An."

"Huh?? Three people? And all of them have such high favorability ratings? What's going on?" Jiang Lai spat out the foam and quickly washed her face.

"Bai Luxi and Fu An have both left you messages in the background. You can go and take a look," 001 reminded you.

"Okay, okay, I'll go back and take a look."

Jiang Lai returned to her room and, as usual, ordered takeout first. While waiting for the delivery guy to arrive, she opened Douyin (TikTok).

The screen was still filled with 99+ likes, which Jiang Lai was used to. However, this time she actually gained a lot of fans. Combined with the ones she had attracted before, she now had more than 70,000 fans.

"This is like a dream, it's a bit too far-fetched," Jiang Lai sighed. "It's just four videos, I don't understand."

"A large part of the reason is because of last night's sleep aid video. It seems like everyone wants you to post more! Otherwise, you might as well become a sleep aid blogger."

Jiang Lai scrolled through the messages, "I'll think about it!" Following the system's instructions, she found Bai Luxi's private message from a bunch of useless private messages in the background.

"You mean this romanceable character is named Bai Luxi?"

"Uh-huh."

Jiang Lai stared at the ID "Bai Lu Wei Xi" on the other side and exclaimed, "Their name sounds just like a fake one, it's so nice."

She clicked on it and found the message: "Hello, I am a voice actor from Lingyin Studio..."

“Lingyin Studio?” Jiang Lai stroked her chin thoughtfully, then opened her browser and began searching for the studio.

After reading the encyclopedia entry, Jiang Lai was shocked. This studio was quite famous. Why would Bai Luxi want to talk to her? Was she looking for her to do voice acting?

"Go through Fu An's private messages again," 001 reminded her.

Jiang Lai: "Okay, okay!"

I found Fu An's private messages. His ID was "Fu Qingshan". He sent a message saying, "Hello, I am Fu An, the director of Lingyin Studio. I think your voice is very suitable for a character in our recent radio drama..."

“This Fu An is also from Lingyin? He really came to ask me to do voice acting.” Jiang Lai stroked her chin. “What should we do? Should we add him? I’ve never tried voice acting before, it sounds really interesting.”

Upon hearing her words, 001 anxiously said, "Why didn't you add them! These are two high-quality romance prospects!"

Jiang Lai slapped her forehead, "I almost forgot! What's going on with these two? Their initial favorability rating is a bit too high, isn't it?"

001 said, "Is it possible that those who do voice acting simply like people with nice voices?"

“You’re absolutely right. After all, I’m a woman with a ‘heavenly voice’ officially recognized by the system,” Jiang Lai said proudly.

001: "So, do you want to add them?"

Jiang Lai said helplessly, "I'll add her! Whether I do the voice acting or not, I'll think about it later. In any case, she's my first female character I can pursue, and I can't let her get away." After saying that, she replied to Bai Lu Weixi's private message, copied her WeChat ID, and directly selected to add her as a friend.

Seeing her so enthusiastic, 001 reminded her, "There's also Fu An!"

Jiang Lai rolled her eyes. "Add it too, alright!"

The system cheered and continued, "Also, the host hasn't been interacting with Lu Jin much lately. Don't discriminate between men and women and slack off!"

Jiang Lai comforted it, "I know, I'll go find him later. By the way, you said there's also Fu, Fu Changyuan? What's the situation? His favorability rating isn't low either!"

"He commented under your video, look, this is it." 001 helped Jiang Lai accurately identify Fu Changyuan's comment from the comments.

"Thank you for the video, blogger."

"That's it?" Jiang Lai stared speechlessly at the comment. It was unremarkable among a series of joking comments. If 001 hadn't pointed it out, Jiang Lai would never have imagined that it was posted by the person she was trying to woo. How could someone whose nickname and avatar were even provided by the system be a potential romantic partner?

"I really don't understand the thinking behind these people's advances. They give out affection for no reason at all." Jiang Lai sighed. "However, this Fu Changyuan must have sleep problems. Just by looking at his words, I can feel the resentment of people with insomnia."

Jiang Lai hadn't received any replies to her friend requests to Bai Luxi and Fu An yet, but she wasn't in a hurry. Just then, her takeout arrived, and she went to pick it up and started watching a show while she ate.

Seeing how relaxed she was, 001 couldn't help but ask, "What are you planning to do next, host?"

Jiang Lai gestured towards the takeout food in front of her: "Lunch, can't you see?"

"That's not what I asked."

Jiang Lai stuffed a chicken wing into her mouth and mumbled, "Let's see what's going on with Bai Luxi and Fu An first, see if we can gain some goodwill from them, then keep posting videos to gain more followers, and we'll talk about the rest later."

Jiang Lai was drenched in sweat after lunch. Her room didn't have air conditioning, only a small electric fan. After eating, it felt like she had been in a battle. Jiang Lai quickly took a shower in the bathroom and then decided to go shopping to digest her food and enjoy the air conditioning.

"I'll spend some more money to buy two nice outfits." Jiang Lai strolled out the door, holding an umbrella. "Now that I have some money, I still need to buy some clothes to make a good impression, since school is starting soon."

The sun was blazing outside; it was past 1 p.m., the hottest part of the day, but she was in a good mood, a long-lost sense of relaxation, at least the burden on her shoulders felt lighter. What's done is done; since she was in this world and couldn't leave, she could only accept it. After all, in that other world, everyone who loved her was long gone. Her only surviving blood relative, her father, only saw her as a pawn in a political marriage. Thinking about it that way, her current life didn't seem so bad; at least it wasn't a predictable future, but rather one full of possibilities and uncertainties.

She went to the same shopping mall where Lu Jin worked, but instead of looking for Lu Jin first, she went directly to the clothing section on the third floor.

Because of the system's "fitting fit", her previous underwear size was no longer suitable. Jiang Lai was wearing a sports vest, which was also a bit tight, so she went directly to a brand-name underwear store.

As soon as you enter, a sales assistant comes up to you and says softly, "Welcome! How can I help you?"

Jiang Lai politely said, "Could you please help me choose a few sets of suitable underwear?"

The sales assistant smiled broadly and said, "Please come with me into the fitting room to check your size."

Jiang Lai followed her inside, quickly took off her clothes, and showed off her figure to the saleswoman. A hint of envy flashed in the saleswoman's eyes, "Miss, you have a great figure. I'll go get you a few outfits that suit you. Do you have any preferences?"

"As long as they're comfortable to wear, the colors and styles should be simple and elegant."

"Okay," the sales assistant said and walked out.

001 suddenly popped up at this moment: "This sales assistant just gave you a little bit of goodwill."

Jiang Lai raised an eyebrow: "That's because I have a good figure."

001: "Oh." Don't you even know who gave you this great figure?

The sales assistant came in with two sets of underwear and asked, "Miss, what do you think of these two sets?"

Jiang Lai touched it and felt that the material was not bad, so she nodded: "No problem, do you have different colors?"

"This set comes in white, dark green, and black; this set comes in flesh color, white, and black."

"So that's six sets in total? I don't want the flesh-colored ones, but please wrap up the rest for me." Jiang Lai showed off her wealth this time.

The sales assistant beamed, "No problem."

001 continued, "Her feelings for you have increased even more."

"Because I spent money and gave her sales targets. I said, why aren't you one of those get-rich-quick schemes where you spend money to become beautiful? I spend money on people, how could they not love me?"

"Heh, then go find those systems!"

"Just kidding!" "Hmph!"

Jiang Lai went to the cashier, scanned the code to pay, and the five sets of underwear cost her more than 800 yuan.

Seeing that she paid quickly, the sales assistant was even more impressed, saying, "Thank you for your patronage! Welcome to visit us again!"

Jiang Lai then went to buy clothes. She chose a fashion brand store and bought several suitable dresses. She also went to a shoe and bag store and bought two pairs of shoes and two handbags.

"I thought you'd buy several sets!" 001 asked her. "I didn't expect you to be so restrained! And you didn't even buy any luxury brand clothes!"

Jiang Lai sat in the milk tea shop, calculating her bill on her phone while exchanging thoughts with 001. "There's no need for that. I've already researched it. This fashion brand's clothes have good styles and quality, and are very cost-effective. As for the shoes and bags, they're also quite nice. I've already spent over four thousand on these, which is more than enough for me right now. Anyway, there are ways to spend money whether you have it or not."

"These outfits should be enough for me for the time being. When school starts, it will be easier to carry less luggage. Also, I need to get a new phone."

Jiang Lai sighed again, "Money really doesn't last long!"

"By the way, now that you have money, aren't you going to invest it?" 001 asked.

"Please, what can you do with so little money? Buy funds? Earn a dollar or two?" Jiang Lai said, "This little money isn't enough for me right now, and I won't earn much from investing. I'll wait until I have more money. Besides, it's not like I'm going to suddenly start investing to make money. What if someone with ulterior motives discovers something's wrong with me? So it's not that I can't do it, but I need to choose a good time."

"Understood." 001 humbly accepted the instruction.

Jiang Lai stood up, bought another cup of milk tea, and walked out of the milk tea shop.

"Isn't one cup of milk tea enough?"

Jiang Lai replied in a good mood, "Go see Lu Jin! Didn't you say I've been having a negative attitude towards the romance strategy lately?"

"Then go quickly!"

Jiang Lai went to the shop where Lu Jin worked, and as soon as she entered, she saw Lu Jin sitting and playing on his phone.

"Lu Jin!" she called out, her voice sweet and cloying.

Lu Jin looked up blankly, saw it was Jiang Lai, smiled and waved, and walked over, "Why are you here? Is there something wrong with the laptop?"

Jiang Lai handed him the milk tea, saying, "No problem! To thank you for picking out such a great laptop for me, I'm treating you to milk tea as a token of my gratitude!"

Lu Jin scratched his head: "You're welcome—"

"Hurry up and take it! I have so many heavy things in my hands!" Jiang Lai said, with a hint of coquettishness.

Lu Jin hurriedly took the milk tea, his ears turning red: "Your cold is better! Your voice sounds different from last time."

Jiang Lai nodded: "Yes! I wasn't feeling well last time, so I just bought a computer and went back home. Now that I'm better, I came to browse around. Look, I bought so many things!"

Lu Jin thought the voice was incredibly sweet, a bit coquettish, like milk tea.

"Lu Jin's favorability +3".

Jiang Lai raised an eyebrow and tentatively asked, "I also wanted you to help me pick out a phone this time, okay?"

"Favorability +3."

Okay, I get it. Lu Jin, a straight man, can't stand girls acting cute.

"No problem, what kind of phone do you want?"

"Hmm—just make sure the RAM and storage are a bit larger. Can you take a look at the rest? I trust you!"

"Affection level +1".

Lu Jin helped Jiang Lai choose a mobile phone that cost over 5,000 yuan. Any more expensive and it would be almost as expensive as a laptop. However, it is said to be of very good quality and can be used for at least three years.

Jiang Lai didn't waste any time and paid the money directly.

"Then I'll head back first? I've seen enough." Jiang Lai said to Lu Jin.

Lu Jin nodded. "Okay, be careful. Oh, and you have to fill out your college application tomorrow, don't forget."

"Yes, I won't forget," Jiang Lai said. "Let's go to the capital together when school starts!"

"Okay!" Lu Jin smiled, revealing his bright white teeth.

"Then I'm leaving!" Jiang Lai said goodbye to him, and Lu Jin stood there watching her leave.

"Alright, everyone's gone, what are you still looking at!" A boy hooked his arm around Lu Jin's neck. "Be careful, or I'll tell your uncle you're slacking off at work."

Lu Jin glanced at him and said sincerely, "You said yourself that he is my uncle."

"Hey, you little brat!" The boy punched him and asked, "Was that your friend just now?"

"what happened?"

"Nothing much. Does she have a boyfriend? Her voice is so nice! So sweet, and she has a great figure too. I just couldn't see her face. What do you think? Isn't she pretty?"

Lu Jin thought for a moment, and realized that he didn't really know what Jiang Lai looked like. His memory was a bit hazy, and Jiang Lai had been wearing a mask the two times they had met recently.

The boy assumed Lu Jin's silence meant he was arguing, so he said regretfully, "Ah, so not talking means you're not pretty! I didn't expect her to be such a heartthrob. What a pity, I was hoping to pursue her!"

Lu Jin said unhappily, "Don't judge a girl like that, it's impolite. Besides, even if she's not pretty, she might not be interested in you." Then he walked away angrily.

"Honestly, why say that about her! Jiang Lai is clearly a really great girl! She's smart (excellent grades), hardworking (our teacher often uses her as a role model to tell the students), kind, has a nice voice, and a great figure—" Lu Jin couldn't help but think back to Jiang Lai's appearance just now, an ordinary white short-sleeved shirt, but—her figure was indeed very good. He blushed again, his whole face starting to heat up. "So she really is great!"

On the other side, Jiang Lai was walking down the street when 001 suddenly said, "Lu Jin's favorability +7."

Jiang Lai: "...To be honest, he's really too easy to please."

"agree."
