Li Wei. Age 24. Single.
With a promising monthly salary. High promotion rate within the company. He was a shining example of so-called success, but in a company full of old men and gentlemen, he had no chance of finding a girlfriend among his coworkers, and because of his workload and lack of free time after work, it was difficult to find time to go to social events.
Even so, with a nice apartment whose down payment is finally over and the loans that had already been paid. He had plenty of money left over, but since the company had given him a car, he was not in a rush to buy one. Without any hobbies to pursue after work, he could only choose to walk back tonight to take in the cool, windy night.
Even at this hour, the city was still bustling with activity. Especially those from college life were gathering at different bars, drinking pubs, or in some drinking restaurants. Laughing energetically with their friends and girls.
A bitter feeling welled up in Li Wei's throat as he looked at that sight and thought about how he had spent these days working in college academics without being able to enjoy such a nice lifestyle.
"Haah! Forget it." Shaking his head, Li Wei took out his smartphone to see the time, and if possible, he was thinking of eating out after such a long time. Since tomorrow he is getting a leave, and after that, he needs to go for a business trip to the other city.
_(9:25)pm.
'Yep! I should eat outside today.' With that thought in mind. Li Wei made his decision to have dinner outside and started to walk and see if he could find a good open restaurant with open seats, given he was not that much of a fan of bustling areas. Plus, he did not have that demanding type of taste and could eat anything as long as it was edible.
'Hmm!'
The moment he was about to close his smartphone. He saw a notification of downloading being complete and could not remember what he had put on download, though during the meeting, he did end up downloading a weird application from the original application store.
Which meant it was safe and all, but now thinking about it, the notification piqued his interest. 'Haha! What the hell is this.' Looking at the name, Li Wei almost burst out laughing.
[Ero manager Application]
'Some kind of dating application. Huh!' Looking at the tempting and unique application logo, Li Wei's interest was piqued as he opened the application to find it loading and soon, information about him started to appear in a weird format.
'Hmm! Is it hacked...' Li Wei thought, since he is working in a big company, he is already used to things like that. Plus, this smartphone and number itself were for personal use and had nothing to do with the company, so he did not mind since his account is connected to another number of his.

[Mr. Li Wei has been given 1000 EP for being a single to the age of 24.]
Li Wei's mouth twitched, looking at the last line; it was as if the application was mocking him for being single even at this age.
'Whatever! Hmm. A shop.' As he was about to shut it. He found a shop icon on top and decided to see it for fun. since this application's name was Ero Manager Application, he wanted to see what kind of item they would be listing.

After taking his seat in the restaurant. Li Wei chuckled at the application shop item name and even bought one that looked like some kind of skill and it was added to his skill tab. Making his lips twitch after reading the description of the skill.
Skill: Aura Impression Booster.
Description: Even a dog can attract a hot lady with this.
Type: Passive.
Level: 1.
"Sir, what would you like?" A guy walked and asked.
"Get me! Some drink whatever suits it for the food." Li Wei spoke.
"Yes! I'll get the drink over in a minute. And food might take some time." He spoke and walked away from the seat. While Li Wei silently continued to look outside of the window, it had a nice sea view to it. On the side, many couples walk at the side, maybe a good dating spot for students in that age group.
"Sir! Beer is here." The service was quick and Li Wei thanked them before taking a sip of it and looking at the bottle again. 'This taste great.' He thought, with his mind becoming relaxed, he enjoyed another sip of it, looking extremely pleased with this restaurant drink.
"Dashu. What are you doing here? drinking alone like this."
"Hmm. Just getting a drink." Li Wei looked at the young girl, around 20 and not that much smaller than him, with a beautiful and distinct brown bob cut and a top-notch figure, which would make her some kind of celeb in the class.
[Dashu: "Big Uncle" or "Middle-aged man" (even more teasing — sounds like she thinks he's much older 😂)]
Li Wei blinked slowly, setting down his glass of beer as he glanced at the girl standing beside his table.
Her eyes were sparkling mischievously, a teasing smile hanging on her lips as she looked at him boldly, her hands casually tucked into the pockets of her light denim jacket.
"Dashu, drinking alone? That's a bit sad, isn't it?" she said, tilting her head slightly.
"...I'm only twenty-four," Li Wei said calmly, though there was a faint twitch at the corner of his mouth.
The girl chuckled, a light, breezy sound that matched the evening wind coming from the open window. "Oh? Twenty-four? You look like you're already fighting for promotions and getting back pain from too many meetings."
"Yeah, right?"
"Dashu, buy me a drink." As she shamelessly sat in front of Li Wei, the girl looked quite confident as she pointed at the waiter coming to note her order. And Li Wei, getting the company of a girl, which never happened before this, did not really mind spending some money on her.
"Get her the beer I am having. And ask her what she would like to eat." Li Wei spoke. Making the girl grin at his order, knowing that he is buying her the drink and the food, she really did not hold back on the items to order.
"Will you be able to finish all that?" Li Wei asked with a smile.
"Believe me, it will be finished by us." Jiang Yue's eyes sparkled as she spoke. Li Wei chuckled, thinking why his order was also included in all that; he is not the big-appetite type.
"Yeah! Yeah!" He spoke, looking at the side.

After 20 minutes.
"That bastard. Idiot." Li Wei looked quite speechless. Looking at the girl sitting with her head down cursing at a boy named Zhang Hao. He was Jiang Yue's boyfriend, though they still are at the public front, but Jiang Yue had already decided to break up with that guy. As for the reason, it is really clichéd.
"Why did he have to cheat on that bitch?" According to her talking, Li Wei came to know that she had been dating a guy named Zhang Hao, who is really a good guy with a nice presence and a good family behind him.
But it was thanks to that, she knew that many would approach him in the college day and did not mind as long as he paid more attention to him. Until that girl starts to approach more intimately lately.
Her name was Wang Qing. One of the few girls that Jiang Yue can't handle and absolutely hates that girl for a certain reason.
Since Jiang Yue had those looks, she had been the center of attention. It was Wang Qing, who had been jealous of this fact.
Although at first, Jiang Yue had been ignoring that girl's actions, until her actions went far too offensive. It was after that Jiang Yue started to reply back to each of her actions until they had a quite irate relationship with her.
Then now to make Jiang Yue look bad.
She finally started to take action on her boyfriend, more like making her feel superior in some kind of form, and is the reason Jiang Yue was completely pissed and just today, when Zhang Hao did not come for the date he had proposed before, she finally got angry and stormed off, while her smartphone was still ringing with Zhang Hao's call, given Jiang Yue's best friend had found Zhang Hao going into a love hotel with Wang Qing.
"That bastard. Still has the face to call me."
"If not for Chen Li, I would have never known about this." Jiang Yue's mood looked really down with that. Maybe because she had set her heart to be with that guy. But now, all of her hopes came crashing down on her.
Although she had that kind of hint that he might have been cheating on her. Still, knowing it was with that Qing.
She finally felt truly angry and irate.
"Sorry. For being like this." She muttered, looking at Li Wei.
"It's alright. I am also drinking, so I might end up forgetting about it tomorrow." Li Wei shook his head, as he truly did not mind it at all.
It was after the drink. That Li Wei wanted to go back but was again forced by Jiang Yue to spend some more time with her as they walked at the seaside.
'I might be enjoying her company itself. Or else, why would I follow her like this, even after treating her to a meal and drink?' He thought. But did not voice it out while hearing her bickering all the way to the end.
"Say! Brother Li, do you want to do it with me?" Until her chattering comes to an end. And Li Wei was thinking that he might be able to go back home now. But her next question stunned him for a bit.
"It is your drink that is speaking."
"Why care? Plus, I am completely conscious of it."
"Then, it is your anger! Don't make decisions in a rush. It might hurt you in the future."
"I don't care. Or do you think I am not beautiful enough for you?"
Well, after being asked like that. Li Wei also has pride. Plus, Jiang Yue was a beauty to boot, so he might as well enjoy the night itself, even if it leaves a bitter taste later on.
