Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?-Chapter 85 - 82: Caught in a Dilemma

It’s just that it’s nighttime now, the voice-controlled lights in the corridor of his rental are dim, and while he was standing there eating melon seeds, he didn’t see clearly the two girls fighting—it turns out they were none other than his other two love interests.

Wen Nan looked first at the schoolgirl on his left. She had just been through an intense "battle," her long hair in disarray and covering half of her face. Yet, her delicate features and fair, smooth skin were still discernible, showing she’s a classic beauty in the making.

Her school uniform was also disheveled. She pressed her lips tight, her eyes reddened, looking at Wen Nan like a lop-eared rabbit desperately seeking comfort from its owner.

[Name: Wang Jialing (Lingling)]

[Identity: The girl-next-door you watched grow up]

[Background: Lingling is your undergraduate roommate Old Wang’s biological niece, who slept in the next bed.

You and Old Wang became best buddies during your freshman year, coming from the same hometown, you traveled back together during winter break, and he introduced you to his family, where you met Wang Jialing, who was only twelve years old and had just started middle school at that time.

Though she’s only six years younger than you, because of the generational advantage, you jokingly told her to call you "Uncle Nine," a name she never stopped using since the first time she called you that.

Back then, Wang Jialing was a little girl with two braids, quiet and obedient in your eyes, just a junior. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

But in young Wang Jialing’s heart, while you had just entered college in the prime of your youth, you seemed to glow, every move you made attracted her attention, though she dared not look directly at you.

From the first moment she saw you, the seed of a secret crush was planted in her heart, growing year by year, sprouting until she entered high school and you were about to leave university and enter society—

Sensing that your futures were heading in two different directions, with less and less chance of meeting, and knowing your family had started urging you to date and build a family when you were just over twenty, Wang Jialing could no longer hold back. On a sunny summer day, she mustered the courage to confess.

"Uncle Nine, if you must find a girlfriend, can you not choose someone else... I-I can be your girlfriend."

Blushing, she presented you with a jar of a thousand paper cranes, each folded during countless nights and filled with her love for you.

You accepted her gift but did not accept her confession.

Squatting before her, you lifted your head, looked into her eyes sincerely with a warm smile, and told her:

"You’re still young, you should focus on your studies. Uncle Nine promises not to find a girlfriend now. When you grow up, become an adult, if you still feel the same, come find me, okay?"

Wang Jialing nodded earnestly.

This was just your stalling tactic. You were sure her feelings for you were just a fleeting infatuation of a teenage girl that she would forget soon enough.

However, Wang Jialing counted the days, night after night, awaiting the day you mentioned.

Until today, just after her eighteenth birthday, Wang Jialing came expectantly to your doorstep, hoping to see you and have you fulfill your promise.

But instead of your figure, she encountered another person waiting at your door, claiming to be your girlfriend.]

[Strategy Difficulty: ★★★★★]

After reading this background story, Wen Nan fell into deep thought.

Seeing it this way, he could quite understand why Wang Jialing, whom he watched grow up, would suddenly go from being a well-behaved child to being so out of control.

Damn system didn’t do her any favors, just had to make a big deal after she’d waited for so long.

Who wouldn’t break down over something like that?

With this in mind, Wen Nan turned his head to look at the girl on his right.

The girl had short hair all messed up, her tank top torn, exposing her white underwear, and her shorts tugged down to her hips, revealing a bit of lace of the same color.

Yet she hardly cared, lifting her face with slightly raised eyebrows, looking at Wen Nan like a proud little wild cat just brought home.

[Name: Sun Yi (Xiao Yi)]

[Identity: The fallen girl who clung to you after being rescued]

[Background: You met Sun Yi in a KTV with certain hidden services. Your friend took you there under the guise of a dinner party, and you realized something was amiss once there, but it was too late to leave.

Unable to tolerate the indulgence in the room, you found an excuse to leave midway.

Passing by one of the private rooms, you heard the smashing of beer bottles and a fierce argument. Looking in, you saw Sun Yi.

Sun Yi had dropped out of high school, working odd jobs at various restaurants, bars, and KTVs to earn money. She didn’t know about the hidden services when she applied to this place. Tonight was her first time accompanying a room. Realizing something was wrong, she wanted to leave but couldn’t pass up the manager’s high commission, so she stayed, but stood like a plank at the door, refusing to get close to the customers.

The customers were unhappy, cursing and approaching her, trying to pull her to sit down. Sun Yi couldn’t take it and, before they got within a meter of her, picked up a beer bottle and smashed it toward them.

The opposite party became furious, several big guys surrounded young Sun Yi, and the scene looked unsalvageable.

That’s when you pushed the door open and rescued Sun Yi from the chaos.

Though you spent a lot of time and effort calming the customers and the KTV afterward, you did successfully save a girl teetering on the brink.

You thought that was the end of it, but Sun Yi clung to you afterward, staying near your house from time to time, claiming she was homeless and begging you to take her in, even saying she would do anything for you.

You tried to persuade her several times without success, eventually using a stalling tactic again, telling her that if she could get out of this life of getting by, find a stable job, or get into a decent school, set her life back on track, you would consider it.

After that, Sun Yi disappeared and hadn’t been back for a long time.

Tonight, she came to your door with an admission letter from the city’s best technical school, wanting you to fulfill your promise.

However, instead of seeing you, she encountered Wang Jialing, who claimed to be your girlfriend.

Sun Yi was furious and retorted immediately, "Shameless, pretending to be his girlfriend? I am his girlfriend. You can leave now."

Not long after, the two of them started fighting.]

[Strategy Difficulty: ★★★★★★☆]

After reading Sun Yi’s story, Wen Nan felt increasingly troubled.

So it turns out he used stalling tactics twice, ultimately leading to a clash and a fierce battle?

Hiss, that’s a tricky situation.

Wen Nan felt trapped, unable to think of a solution that worked for both.

The two girls, seeing this, became anxious and urged him at the same time.

"Uncle Nine, say something."

"Uncle, speak up."

Wen Nan frowned and a thought emerged—

What if he chose both?

[If I were you, I wouldn’t go down such a destructive path.]

A message appeared in his mind from [slave].

Wen Nan looked up and saw Yu Shujun leaning against the wall with arms crossed, her face written with "enjoying the show."
