"What a coincidence, Brother Gou, Big Gao, Old Zhao!"
"Didn't go home for the break? Busy with the summer semester assignments?"
"Mengfu, these are my classmates."
Lin Yu greeted them familiarly, appearing unusually cheerful.
Ye Mengfu, hearing this, nodded nervously, struggling to stay composed:
"H-Hello everyone, I... I'm..."
Ye Mengfu desperately wanted to make a good impression, not wanting to embarrass Lin Yu in front of his classmates.
But her personality was just like this.
The more she panicked, the harder it was to string together a complete sentence.
Managing five words in one breath was already a miracle for her!
Lin Yu gently patted Ye Mengfu's arm, and she immediately shot him an apologetic glance.
But what she saw instead was Lin Yu's warm smile:
"Don’t be nervous, it’s fine."
Ye Mengfu’s trembling body and racing heart seemed to be injected with a dose of calm.
"I'm... Ye Mengfu."
The overly intimate interaction between the two once again stabbed painfully at Zhao Bin and Gao Yumin’s hearts.
Zhao Bin: "What a coincidence, Lin Yu! You’re something else—when did you secretly get such a pretty girlfriend?"
Gao Yumin: "Hey there, beautiful! We’re all classmates. This guy’s been hiding you well!"
Ye Mengfu pursed her lips and stole a glance at Lin Yu: "..."
Hearing others call her Lin Yu’s girlfriend, she couldn’t help but wonder how he would react.
Lin Yu...
Of course, he neither denied nor confirmed it, just chuckled as if he hadn’t heard a thing.
Zhao Bin: "What’s up, Brother Gou? She’s saying hi to you!"
Gao Yumin: "Dumbass, don’t mind him, beautiful."
Dumbstruck...
He really was dumbstruck!
Stunned by the scent on Lin Yu!
Coincidence?
Was that even possible?
Anyone who believed this was a coincidence was a damn idiot!
Logically speaking... this kind of non-mainstream brand of laundry detergent and fabric softener wasn’t most people’s first choice.
Laundromats in Pingchuan wouldn’t mix them like this either.
Even if both parties happened to buy the same rarely sold detergent brand in Pingchuan...
What about the fabric softener? How do you explain that?
And the identical fragrance?
The odds of this happening were so low, you might as well go buy a lottery ticket!
There was only one truth...
They lived in the same place, used the same washing machine, and probably even washed their clothes together!
No...
Wait, damn it—three people!
[Ding!]
[Critical hit! The identical scent of incense shared with the Library Elder and the Bell Envoy of the Joyous Sect has left the members of the Infernal Fiend Squad utterly shaken!]
[Reward: 20 Spirit Stones]
Lin Yu: "???"
Wait, what?
What kind of bizarre reward notification was this?
He even doubted if he’d heard wrong and replayed it in his head.
A few seconds later.
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Gou Feng, whose family ran a laundromat!
Damn, was his nose really that sharp?
He could smell it?
In his past life, Lin Yu had only been casual classmates with their little gang.
He’d had no idea about Gou Feng’s "supernatural" ability.
If not for the system’s prompt, he’d never have guessed.
That the scent on his clothes would expose his living situation with the Chi sisters.
No...
That wasn’t entirely accurate.
Judging by Gou Feng’s reaction, he probably suspected something even more scandalous.
Did he have a crush on one of the Chi sisters?
Probably not.
In his past life, Lin Yu didn’t recall these three having any special interactions with them.
But their leader—Class President Shi Yanhai!
He’d always seemed particularly interested in Chi Qingshui.
The kind of interest that went beyond friendship—every guy could tell.
Even with their distant relationship, Lin Yu had sensed it.
Fine, fine.
Might as well let these gentlemen—these self-invited gentlemen—hurry off and spread the news!
Let’s make today’s gathering even more interesting.
"Brother Gou? Brother Gou!"
"Haha, what’s up? Has it only been a few days since break, and you don’t recognize me anymore?"
Lin Yu struck up the conversation, forcibly snapping Gou Feng out of his daze.
"Huh? I... damn!"
"Lin Yu, I zoned out for a sec. You’ve been doing well lately, huh?"
"Taking... the beauty here, where are you two headed?"
Gou Feng really didn’t want to say the word "girlfriend."
What right did Lin Yu have?
Except... for looking like a pretty boy.
Hiss.
Had Lin Yu gotten even handsomer and fairer since he last saw him?
Could it be that the Chi sisters... secretly liked this type too?
And were bold enough to... share one guy between the two of them?!
Gou Feng’s mind was already conjuring up an entire scandalous drama.
"What else would we do at Food Street, right? Just grabbing a bite."
"Let’s catch up another time. We’ve got friends waiting for us today."
"Sorry, we’ve gotta head out now."
Lin Yu’s demeanor was effortlessly smooth.
The three Infernal Fiend Squad members were left speechless.
Since when...
Had Lin Yu been this confident and talkative?
In class, he was practically a mute!
Did getting a girlfriend change his personality this much?
Or was it his pride acting up, forcing him to put on a cheerful front?
Otherwise...
How else could he have tricked such a great girl into dating him?!
Zhao Bin: "Alright, go ahead. We’ll grab something and head out too. Catch you later."
Gao Yumin: "So sweet. Congrats, man."
Gou Feng: "..."
Lin Yu waved and led Ye Mengfu away from the fried chicken stand.
The entire time, Ye Mengfu naturally hadn’t noticed anything unusual.
Just getting away from the scene was a huge relief for her.
As expected...
She really wasn’t cut out for interacting with guys other than Lin Yu.
This situation... was terrifying!
Lin Yu deliberately walked slowly, continuing to eavesdrop on the gang’s conversation.
Sure enough...
Not long after Lin Yu left.
Gou Feng couldn’t hold back his exaggerated outburst:
"Big news! The goddamn scoop of the century!"
Zhao Bin: "Jealous much?"
Gao Yumin: "Come on, I’m shocked too. Lin Yu actually landed such a cute, well-endowed girlfriend."
Gou Feng waved his hands frantically:
"That’s not it!"
"The laundry detergent... the fabric softener..."
Zhao Bin: "You shameless creep, sniffing a classmate’s girlfriend? What brand is it?"
Gao Yumin: "No way, I saw his nose twitching too."
Gou Feng grabbed their arms to stop their interruptions:
"Vitality 28 Lavender Fresh laundry detergent!"
"Green Umbrella Rose-Scented Softening fabric softener!"
"The smell on Lin Yu... is exactly the same as the Chi twins!"
"Identical!!"

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints.

At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
