Swimming Club

Tao Yaoyao was fierce, incredibly fierce, so fierce that it completely clashed with her fair and delicate face.

She wasn't a jungle main; her main role was AD carry. She could pressure the enemy bot lane duo all by herself, and her mechanics could only be described as terrifying.

The enemy support this game was playing mid lane and doing quite well. Seeing their bot lane getting crushed, he went to gank, only to end up giving up a triple kill. When he went with their jungler, all four of them tried to dive her, the AD carry escaped.

Yes.

Only the enemy AD carry got away; the other three all died at Tao Yaoyao's feet.

Frighteningly fierce.

After three SOLO matches ended, the opponent directly tilted, broke down, and even cheated, not calling her 'daddy' as promised, before quickly deleting her friend and running off.

The opponent ran away, and Tao Yaoyao also had matters to attend to and had to leave.

Originally, Lin Yu had been slightly worried about her, staying vigilant against her possibly doing anything unnecessary. But from the looks of it now, he had completely overthought it.

"Sigh."

Lang Hua looked in the direction Tao Yaoyao left and couldn't help but sigh.

"What a shame."

"I was thinking of inviting her out for a meal later."

Lin Yu stood up, patted his shoulder, and said:

"It's all the same. Since she's leaving, you can just treat me to a meal, right?"

Lang Hua had also thoroughly enjoyed his revenge matches. He waved his hand grandly and said generously:

"Deal!"

"Let's go get you something to eat!"

...

...

The four of them sat around the table, and Lang Hua and the other two were so jealous their facial features were almost contorted.

They stared at Lin Yu in confusion, seemingly trying to find the reason he was so popular with girls on that big, dark face of his.

How many times is this now?

Another pretty girl actively striking up a conversation with him?

Lin Yu, you're our buddy, we want the best for you.

But if you're doing this well, then that's a different matter altogether!

Not only were Lang Hua and the others searching for the reason behind Lin Yu's popularity with beauties.

Even Lin Yu himself was trying to figure out why he was so popular.

Why, though?

Lin Yu lowered his head in deep thought. The cafeteria tabletop was clean and bright, reflecting his dark, roguishly handsome face.

Looking at this blurry reflection, Lin Yu for a moment felt nothing but absurdity.

Could it really be because of this face that's only somewhat handsome, and so dark?

Impossible!

It's not like he had transmigrated into some sci-fi novel like "Every Man's Looks Have Declined Ten Thousandfold, Only Mine Remains Unchanged."

In this world, there were plenty of guys handsomer than him!

And surely no shortage of guys who looked more thuggish or roguishly handsome than him.

So why was he the only one so popular?

Could it be because of the adult manga plot?

Lin Yu stroked his chin, but that also seemed impossible.

Based on past experience, aside from Su Yuyao, the fourth female lead whose brain got fried from watching movies, the first impressions the other three had of him were all negative.

For example, Tang Manman's fear and terror, Qing Mo's disgust and contempt, Sister Zhuzi's odd look reserved for non-mainstream types...

The reactions of these three were enough to prove he didn't possess any kind of overpowering "domineering aura" that made women kneel and throw themselves at him at first sight.

It wasn't the plot, and it wasn't his looks.

Then all these beauties coming to hit on him...

Lin Yu raised his hand to stroke his chin.

There must definitely be another reason.

But what could it be?

Lin Yu couldn't figure it out.

Could it be that the three words "Xia Yueshan" really had some special magic?

What the hell?

Is this steering towards a xuanhuan novel now?

After some thought, Lin Yu felt he couldn't let this continue.

Now, he only had two choices before him.

Either transfer schools, leave S University, leave the location where these risqué plot events happen.

Or investigate to find out exactly what reason caused these girls to hit on him one after another, seemingly without cause.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Yu decided to set aside the idea of transferring for now.

Since it could already be confirmed these girls approaching him weren't influenced by the adult manga plot, but because of some other reason.

Then even if he left this place, left the setting of these risqué plots, perhaps he would still get entangled with other girls for the same reason.

It's like if a person feels unwell because the formaldehyde level in the room is too high; leaving the room will naturally make you feel better.

But if there's some virus in the room and you're already infected, leaving the virus-filled room is useless.

Moreover, Lin Yu was quite satisfied with the facilities, environment at S University, and his roommates.

He would be somewhat reluctant to leave.

Weighing both options, Lin Yu decided not to make transferring his top priority. He could first try to see if he could find the root cause of them hitting on him.

If he really couldn't find it, then transferring would still be an option later.

Having made his decision, Lin Yu began planning how to find the fundamental reason for their advances.

To uncover the truth, contact with them was unavoidable.

But who to contact?

The number of people who had actively approached him had already reached double digits. If he had to choose one person as a bridge to contact for the truth, who should he pick?

After some thought, Lin Yu felt he should choose a girl who approached him earlier, the better.

At the start of the semester, he was a nobody.

The girls who approached him back then were the most suspicious.

Now, on the campus forum, he was rumored to be some rich second-generation playing humble, or some gangster boss. It was entirely possible some people might actually develop a crush and approach him because of these ridiculous rumors.

So, to get in touch with the truth, choosing a girl who approached him during military training would be the right move!

...

...

Now, who were they back then?

Lin Yu remembered there were seven people who approached him during military training...

Wait!

Six!

Tao Yaoyao came to return his student ID!

Thinking of his confident "not interested" declaration back then, Lin Yu's old face still felt a bit warm.

So embarrassing.

Tao Yaoyao probably wasn't in the same group as those other girls.

That left six.

They were: Ye You from the swimming club, Wang Yanyan, Gu Xinran from the track and field club, Luo Xiaoxiao, a cheerleading squad member and also Zeng Qiang's goddess.

And two unnamed twins.

After some consideration, Lin Yu decided to just pick one from Ye You or Wang Yanyan to start with.

Perfect, since he also wanted to learn how to swim, and they were both in the swimming club. Killing two birds with one stone!
