Chapter 179:
"I'm very sorry!" Qiu Qianwei bent down slightly towards Wang Haoran to express her apology, sincerely saying, "I'm afraid I can't agree to be your girlfriend... However, I can compensate with money. You... You can name your price, as long as I can afford it, I'll agree!"
Seeing Qiu Qianwei's attitude, Wang Haoran wasn't surprised at all. Qiu Qianwei was a female leader with an extremely high charm value. It was unrealistic to expect her to agree to be his girlfriend based solely on a verbal agreement.
"Hehe, I was just joking. Miss Qiu doesn't need to take it seriously," Wang Haoran suddenly smiled.
It's worth noting that besides Qiu Qianwei, there were several other female leads here. He wouldn't ruin the impression the other female leads had of him just because of Qiu Qianwei.
What he said to Qiu Qianwei just now was purely to tease her and gain some favor.
"You are very considerate," Qiu Qianwei breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Wang Haoran's words. She couldn't help but look at him a few more times, as if she wanted to get to know him again.
[Ding, female lead Qiu Qianwei's affection towards the host increased by 10, current total affection is 30 (very friendly)]
[Ding, host influences the direction of the plot, gains 300 villain points!]
On the side, Lin Chen frowned, looking very unhappy.
"Feeling a bit down now after being so smug every day, huh?" Qiu Qianwei couldn't help but laugh when she saw his expression.
"I really can do magic. It was just an accident earlier."
"Then can you perform one for me right now?" Qiu Qianwei asked casually.
"Just wait, I'll be right back!"
Magic isn't sorcery; it required some magic props.
He had tried to trick Xu Muyan and the others just now, so he grabbed a flower from the roadside as a makeshift magic prop.
Now that the flower was gone, he naturally needed to prepare something else.
"I can also do magic. Miss Qiu, would you like to see?" Wang Haoran suddenly said.
Lin Chen was about to leave, but upon hearing Wang Haoran's words, he stopped in his tracks.
"You can do magic too, really?" Qiu Qianwei asked in astonishment.
On the side, Qin Yunhan, Xu Muyan, Mu Zhaoshao, and Wen Jing also looked at Wang Haoran in surprise.
"Of course," Wang Haoran nodded, then said, "My magic is called 'Mind Connection'. As long as I maintain eye contact with someone for 30 seconds, I can accurately guess what specific items are in their wallet."
After saying that, he scanned the people present:
"Who wants to try?"
"I do!" Mu Zhaoshao was very interested and immediately raised her hand.
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
Qin Yunhan and Xu Muyan spoke up one after another.
Wen Jing also wanted to, but since three people had already volunteered, she didn't join in.
"You know each other, maybe he has seen your wallets before, so it's natural for him to guess them all at once. How can that be considered magic?" Lin Chen said disdainfully and suggested, " I tell you what, just guess what's inside my wallet!"
Wang Haoran wasn't interested in staring at a kid for 30 seconds, so he turned to Qiu Qianwei.
"Miss Qiu, would you cooperate with me?"
"Sure," Qiu Qianwei nodded.
"In that case, let's begin." Wang Haoran took a few steps towards Qiu Qianwei and stopped half a meter in front of her, then stared at her eyes without blinking.
Qiu Qianwei felt a bit embarrassed and glanced away for a moment.
"Miss Qiu, please focus. You must maintain eye contact with me for 30 seconds, otherwise this magic won't work," Wang Haoran reminded her.
"Okay." Qiu Qianwei thought it was for the sake of magic and temporarily set aside her shyness, focusing on staring at Wang Haoran seriously.
Seeing this, Wang Haoran couldn't help but smile inwardly.
It was said that staring at each other for 30 seconds could create an unexpected chemical reaction.
The emotion generated by this chemical reaction was called infatuation.
Of course, it only worked for people with high levels of charm.
The two of them stared at each other like this, and time slowly passed.
When the staring time reached 25 seconds, Wang Haoran received two system prompts.
[Ding, female lead Qiu Qianwei's affection towards the host increased by 5, current total affection is 35 (very friendly)]
[Ding, host influences the direction of the plot, gains 200 villain points!]
Performing magic was just a facade; this was Wang Haoran's real intention.
"30 seconds are up, it's done!" Lin Chen counted the seconds on the side and immediately shouted.
Qiu Qianwei quickly looked away, feeling her cheeks slightly flushed.
But a few seconds later, she returned to normal.
"So, tell me, what's in my sister's wallet?" Lin Chen urged.
Qiu Qianwei, Qin Yunhan, Xu Muyan, Mu Zhaoshao, and Wen Jing all looked forward eagerly.
"A ID card, three bank cards, a one-inch photo of Miss Qiu, and 1213 yuan, including ten 100 yuan bills, four 50 yuan bills, two 5 yuan bills, and three 1 yuan bills," Wang Haoran said slowly.
Hearing Wang Haoran's detailed description, Qiu Qianwei was stunned. She didn't even know the contents of her wallet in such detail.
Thinking like this, Qiu Qianwei immediately took out her wallet and counted.
"Sister, is it true?" Lin Chen asked.
"Yes, everything is correct!" Qiu Qianwei looked shocked.
Qin Yunhan, Xu Muyan, Mu Zhaoshao, and Wen Jing looked at Wang Haoran in surprise.
Wang Haoran smiled without saying a word.
Could he really do magic?
Of course not.
He just could see through things...
"This kind of magic is too childish, it's just ordinary. If you really have skills, show us a more serious magic trick." Lin Chen failed to outshine Wang Haoran again, so he started to sing a different tune.
"My brother is used to being proud. Don't take his words to heart," Qiu Qianwei said.
"Younger brother, I won't argue with you. But I actually have a more powerful magic trick called 'Telekinesis'," Wang Haoran said. "Would Miss Qiu like to see it?"
"If I have the honor."
"Can I borrow the photo you just showed me?"
"Sure." Qiu Qianwei took out the ID photo from her wallet.
"Miss Qiu, please hide this photo. I will retrieve it without directly touching you," Wang Haoran said.
With that, Wang Haoran immediately turned around, allowing Qiu Qianwei to secretly hide the photo.
Qiu Qianwei thought about it for a moment and prepared to casually put the photo in her pocket.
"Sister!" Lin Chen suddenly leaned over and whispered, "Hide it more securely!"
As a master-level magician himself, he was naturally aware of some tricks involved.
Just putting it in her pocket wasn't secure because if the magician was fast enough, he could retrieve the item without her noticing.
"Then where should I hide it?" Qiu Qianwei was a bit conflicted.
"Sister, it's up to you to decide, but the more secure, the better. It's best not to let others see it," Lin Chen glanced at the other beautiful sisters present, afraid they might tip off Wang Haoran, so he reminded her.
Qiu Qianwei nodded, thought for a moment, and suddenly had an idea.
She left everyone's sight for a while before returning.
Qiu Qianwei had already hidden the ID photo, but no one knew where she had hidden it.
"Done." Qiu Qianwei said, facing Wang Haoran's back.
Wang Haoran slowly turned around and looked at Qiu Qianwei and soon showed a surprised and curious expression.
This Qiu Qianwei actually hid the photo in...
