Chapter 142 On the Train 2

Chen Mengmeng clearly hadn't expected such a cold response. She couldn't help but scoff inwardly, thinking to herself, "What's going on? Didn't the system say that as long as I stepped in, there wasn't a man I couldn't handle?"

"But why is this guy so cold to me?" Just as she was filled with doubt, the system's emotionless, machine-like voice suddenly rang in her mind.

"You need to explore and discover the reason yourself. Please be patient, host. After all, there is no such thing as a man who falls in love with you immediately upon seeing you."

Moreover, you two have a long time to spend together, and I'm sure your charm will win him over.

"Can't you give me a hint? Even just a little bit! What kind of girl does he like? That way I can make changes!"

Chen Mengmeng screamed in her heart in near madness, as if she wanted to release all the anxiety and unease in her heart.

However, all she received in response were cold, emotionless words: "Even if you keep yelling and screaming here, it won't help. No one in this world can truly help you; you have to find a way to overcome this difficulty yourself."

The voice sounded unusually cold, as if it came from another cold and ruthless world.

Then, the system began to speak in a seductive yet mechanical tone: "As long as you successfully make him like you."

"And if you are willing to stand with her to fight against the heroine of the original book, then you can successfully seize the powerful fortune that she possesses."

"From now on, your luck will get better and better, and your life will be smooth sailing." These words were tempting, but for Chen Mengmeng, who didn't know how to win her over at the moment, they were like adding fuel to the fire.

"Hmph! Alright, alright, I'm sick and tired of your rhetoric. It's always the same old thing, but you never actually help at all. You're utterly useless!"

Chen Mengmeng couldn't help but curse the so-called system in her heart, her resentment having nowhere to go.

Meanwhile, the mechanical voice of the system continued to echo in her mind, like a malfunctioning machine about to crash, emitting a series of irritating "beep beep beep" sounds.

"This is so annoying! Not only is it useless, it also keeps making a racket!" Chen Mengmeng complained inwardly about the unreliable system with a helpless expression.

However, in real life, she always maintains a sweet and lovely smile, making it impossible for anyone to detect the intense emotional turmoil she is experiencing deep inside.

"Brother Wenhua, may I call you that? You're a soldier, right? Look at your posture, so upright and straight, you can tell at a glance that you're a well-trained soldier!"

Chen Mengmeng blinked her big, bright eyes and leaned closer with a big smile, asking the question.

Xu Wenhua simply responded with a faint "Mm." He was in no mood for conversation at the moment. The thought of being pressured by his family to get married that morning made him extremely irritable and depressed, and he couldn't be bothered to talk to anyone.

Chen Mengmeng seemed oblivious to Xu Wenhua's cold attitude and continued enthusiastically, "Oh, that's great! Big brother, is someone coming to pick you up after you get off the bus?"

"I'm going to the army. My dad is Commander Chen of the 163rd Regiment. My name is Chen Mengmeng! Are you from the 163rd Regiment?" Chen Mengmeng asked in a series of questions.

Xu Wenhua nodded, "Yes, I'm also from the 163rd Regiment."

"Really? That's great! Could you please take me with you on your way? Please?" She clasped her hands together and looked at Xu Wenhua with a pleading expression.

Xu Wenhua initially didn't want to pay attention, but when he met Chen Mengmeng's clear and expectant eyes, for some reason, he couldn't bear to refuse and nodded in agreement as if possessed.

For the rest of the journey, Chen Mengmeng chattered away like a cheerful little bird.

She talked about her childhood memories in the military compound, her aspirations and longings for future military life, and then curiously asked Xu Wenhua about various aspects of life in the army, such as how tough the daily training was and whether she had encountered any particularly thrilling or dangerous missions.

The old lady sitting to the side originally wanted to close her eyes and rest, but Chen Mengmeng's series of words disturbed her peace. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and her face showed obvious dissatisfaction.

Xu Wenhua responded absentmindedly to Chen Mengmeng's questions only occasionally, simply saying "um" or "oh".

Gradually, Chen Mengmeng found that she really couldn't think of anything more to say.

Moreover, it seems that Chen Mengmeng has only just realized Xu Wenhua's cold attitude.

"Brother Wenhua, am I too noisy? Am I bothering you?" Chen Mengmeng asked pitifully.

"No, it's just that it's late now, and many people are resting, so let's not talk." Xu Wenhua couldn't say anything nice, so he could only say this dryly.

"Oh," Chen Mengmeng reluctantly shut her mouth.

Seeing that Chen Mengmeng finally stopped asking questions, Xu Wenhua secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, the old lady sitting next to her relaxed her furrowed brows as if a great weight had been lifted from her shoulders.

In fact, this should have been the scene of the two people's first meeting as described by King Yama.

Unfortunately, due to the series of events that occurred that morning, Xu Wenhua was in no mood to communicate with others at this moment.

First, he was forced into marriage, and then he witnessed his mother faint from anger. These events made him feel extremely bad.

Under the influence of this depressed mood, even though Chen Mengmeng's voice was sweet and charming, it only made Xu Wenhua feel more irritable and uneasy.

In contrast, according to King Yama, the situation was completely different in his previous life.

At that time, Xu Wenhua successfully got engaged to Shen Xiaoxiao, and the whole family was immersed in joy.

Before he left, Shen Xiaoxiao thoughtfully prepared a big bag full of delicious food for him and personally took him to the train station.

Therefore, Xu Wenhua was in a good mood at the time, and even when faced with the incessant chatter of others, he could respond cheerfully. In this way, he and the other person gradually became good friends.

It's just that I don't know if the two of them can still have a smooth life like Jun Yanluo said. It seems impossible, since Shen Xiaoxiao has nothing to do with them now, so they can't even hurt her if they want to.

The plot completely fell apart at this point.
