Handsome, can we get to know each other

A group of fragrant beauties departed, and the three scrawny guys immediately became lively again, chattering about something or other.

Lin Yu had no interest in engaging with them. Staring at his nearly finished meal on the tray, he began seriously considering the possible directions the college-themed adult manga plot could take.

Option one: Just like in high school—four heroines, around two hundred pages, each getting one or two stories, capped off with a grand ensemble finale—the standard doujinshi formula.

Option two: Disconnected side stories, a few short, fragmented tales with minimal, if any, links between them—nothing substantial enough to form a cohesive narrative.

Option three: A massive roster of heroines, averaging two or more per story, with weak plot continuity but a clear overarching theme—think something along the lines of Time Stop Academy.

Faced with these three possibilities, Lin Yu dismissed the first one without hesitation.

The reason was simple—just among the group of beauties from earlier, he recognized more than four faces!

The second option was plausible but unlikely.

Lin Yu felt the college setting was too broad to be limited to just a few short stories.

As for the third possibility…

Lin Yu clutched his head in agony. He didn’t even dare to entertain the thought.

If that were the case, his future college life would be nothing but trouble!

After tugging at his hair for a while, he let out a resigned sigh.

Whatever.

He’d just take things one step at a time.

No point worrying about the worst-case scenario when the future was still uncertain.

It probably wouldn’t be that bad. Lin Yu stroked his chin, reassuring himself that things were still within manageable limits.

Tang Manman’s first reaction to him had been wariness and fear.

Xia Muzhu had been indifferent to him at first.

Qing Mo? Even worse—she’d outright cursed at him during their first encounter.

Sure, the fourth heroine, Su Yuyao, had taken a liking to him immediately, but that was only because his delinquent vibe matched the movie character she idolized.

All this proved one thing—he didn’t possess some inexplicable "protagonist aura" that made heroines fall for him unconditionally.

He was just an ordinary guy trapped in the whirlpool of the plot.

As long as he didn’t do anything unnecessary or interact with them, there was no reason for them to develop feelings for him or cling to him!

The thought eased Lin Yu’s mind considerably.

Yes.

Exactly.

If he just stayed out of their way, the heroines wouldn’t bother him!

This realization acted like a tranquilizer, soothing his anxiety.

Alright!

Decision made!

Lin Yu resolved that during college, he would avoid meddling in others’ affairs at all costs.

Even if a beautiful girl collapsed in front of him with her skirt flipped up, he wouldn’t lift a finger to help!

Everyone had their own fate. Maybe staying out of their lives was the best outcome for them!

With his college conduct guidelines firmly set, Lin Yu felt much lighter. His appetite even improved as he dug back into his meal.

...

Another morning, another day of military training, another session of roasting under the blazing sun.

But today was different from the previous days.

The male students in the formation stood tall and proud, chests out, chins up, their gazes sharper than ever—anyone watching might’ve mistaken them for drill instructors.

There was only one thing that could make these male college students put in so much effort to stand out.

And that, of course, was the female students!

During military training, two beauties suddenly appeared near the formation, standing together in different styles of skirts, creating a stunning sight.

Their eyes were almost entirely fixed on the marching squad, occasionally leaning in to whisper to each other, giggling softly with a hint of shyness in their gazes.

The attention of these two beauties was the strongest morale booster in the world.

The boys in the formation no longer complained about backaches or sore legs—their postures straightened, their energy renewed.

Lv Pengju, standing beside Lin Yu, was especially affected.

His chest puffed out even higher than a duck’s!

Lin Yu was also quite focused on the two girls.

But it wasn’t the girls themselves that caught his attention—it was what they were holding.

Judging by the packaging, it looked like milk tea and fruit yogurt.

Mmm.

He wanted some.

Soon, the training session reached its break time. The squad disbanded, and Lin Yu, too exhausted and thirsty from the scorching sun to care about his overenthusiastic roommates, just wanted to rush to the campus store for an ice-cold sweet drink to cool himself down.

Just as he was about to head toward the store, the two girls who had been watching for a while suddenly approached.

Under the gaze of everyone around, the two beauties handed their milk tea and fruit yogurt to Lin Yu, smiling sweetly as they asked,

"Hey, handsome, mind if we get to know you?"
