The outcome of Lin Yu taking the initiative to lay his cards on the table was a painful breakup?
What a proud and arrogant overachiever she was!
If he didn’t teach her a proper lesson, she’d never learn who was truly in charge!
Bring on the alcohol!
With just a thought,
a bottle of opened "Braving the Waves" beer materialized in Lin Yu’s hand.
Dreams were great like that—whatever he wanted, he got.
Sitting across from Chi Qingshui, he raised the bottle and downed it in one go, putting on a show of chugging it like a storm.
Seeing this, Chi Qingshui tried to stand up and stop him,
but as soon as she rose, she wobbled unsteadily and plopped back into her seat.
Watching her drunken display,
Lin Yu silently marked another potential use for "Daughter’s Blush" in his mind.
She was way too easy to get drunk!
Clink!
By the time Chi Qingshui regained her senses,
Lin Yu had already finished the entire bottle.
Her eyes were filled with reluctance,
yet her words were still painfully firm:
"Lin Yu, just go."
Lin Yu quietly reached for Chi Qingshui’s hand resting on the table, his expression solemn as he asked,
"Go where?"
Chi Qingshui: "Huh?"
Clearly,
she had no idea how to respond.
Lin Yu: "..."
Chi Qingshui: "..."
The two locked eyes for a moment.
Then, Chi Qingshui’s gaze drifted to Lin Yu’s head—
drenched like a drowned rat.
Her eyelid twitched.
Didn’t he think to buy an umbrella from a store in this downpour?
Lin Yu: "What are you looking at?"
Chi Qingshui shook her head: "..."
Lin Yu: "There’s something I want to say to you. Do you have time to listen?"
Chi Qingshui clenched her hands tightly under the table.
If Lin Yu uttered the words "let’s be together," she wouldn’t know how to answer.
Her mind was a mess.
Lin Yu took a deep breath, recalling the most painful moments of his life...
The next instant,
a few "crocodile tears" welled up at the corners of his eyes.
At the same time,
he silently commanded in his heart:
Music!
Give me the most heart-wrenching song!
Listening to him drone on dryly wouldn’t evoke any emotion.
This was the moment in movies when the BGM swelled!
Sure enough,
the small diner began playing a familiar melody...
"Actually, I fear you always praise me, overestimating my endurance~~"
"Actually, I fear even more that you only know how to admire my virtues~~"
"No one matches my choice of words~ Restoring your confidence~"
"No one asks if I’m willing~ to play this noble role~"
"..."
With the mood perfectly set,
Lin Yu’s voice trembled as he spoke:
"I know... I understand..."
"No one would ever like the real me. No one would ever want to date someone like me."
"I didn’t come here to beg you to be with me. I just thought..."
"If we can’t be lovers, at least we can still be friends... right?"
"Let me pretend I had a long, beautiful dream... That’s enough for me."
"And if... just if..."
"One day you’ve wandered far and grown tired, I... I’ll still be here to catch you. Haha."
With that,
Lin Yu withdrew his hand and casually brushed away the tears at his eyes,
forcing a smile despite his reddened gaze.
The song’s timing was impeccable...
"Even without your permission~ I’ll keep loving you~"
"Exchanging blessings in moments of weakness~ Or perhaps allowing me one last kiss~"
"I resent maturity~ for making me hide my tears from you~"
"But I’ll smile beautifully~ as if drinking ice in winter~"
"..."
"I’m content as the spare tire~ finding joy even in sighs~"
"..."
Meanwhile, Chi Qingshui sat across from him,
tears streaming down her face like a broken string of pearls.
She kept shaking her head, harder and harder,
until she finally burst out:
"No, it’s not like that..."
"Lin Yu, it’s not what you think!"
"I’m not as good as you imagine."
"I just... don’t know how to be in a relationship..."
"Ever since I was little, everyone around me kept saying: study hard, focus on your grades, cultivate hobbies, take extra classes..."
"It’s like there were so many voices in my ear, always whispering:"
"How could someone like you ever date in school?"
Seeing "Big Chi" cry so bitterly,
Lin Yu knew these were the genuine confessions of an "overachiever’s world."
As expected.
How could a mere mortal ever comprehend the thought process of the extraordinary?
Just hearing her admit this "absurd reason" aloud
was already a breakthrough in this dream.
But stopping here wouldn’t be enough.
Lin Yu nodded with a smile, picked up the empty bottle, and poured another full glass.
Rainwater, tears, alcohol...
When the three merged into one, it was the perfect moment to unleash his final move.
Lifting the glass with a look of relief, he said:
"Qingshui, thank you for telling me all this."
"This drink is to our beautiful memories."
"From now on, I hope we can still be friends. I won’t intrude into your world anymore."
"May your future be bright, and all your dreams come true."
Lin Yu raised the glass and downed it in one gulp.
Then,
he stood up, pretending to leave.
Chi Qingshui cried even harder, her shoulders trembling violently.
Yet she didn’t rise to stop him or say anything to make him stay.
Lin Yu’s inner thoughts:
Hah!
Seems the final move wasn’t strong enough.
No choice then...
Last resort!
What made a "playboy" wasn’t just their flirtatious ways—
something straight men sneered at without understanding.
The truth was,
winning hearts wasn’t about tricks.
It was about observing life’s smallest details.
Medicine, come!
Suddenly,
a small box appeared in Lin Yu’s hand...
A medicinal patch!
The elder of the library pavilion...
Chronic wrist pain...
Worse on rainy days!
"It started raining on my way to find you."
"I remembered your wrist hurts when it’s damp."
"So I stopped by a pharmacy to get this."
"I’m leaving now... Chi Qingshui."
"Don’t catch a cold, okay?"
Chi Qingshui’s heart felt like it had been struck.
(In such heavy rain, couldn’t he have bought an umbrella...?)
He didn’t even get an umbrella for himself.
Yet he bought her a pain-relief patch.
On the other side,
Lin Yu walked slowly toward the diner’s entrance.
No effect?
After exhausting every tactic, is Big Chi still stubbornly choosing to endure the pain of letting go?
Ding!
Lin Yu: "???"
A WeChat notification.
He pulled out his phone—a voice message from "Dreaming in Rain."
Lin Yu played the message, hearing a voice choked with sobs:
"Dreaming in Rain: (Voice Message) Lin Yu... do you... do you not want me anymore?"
...
Heart] Chen Yi traversed the cultivation world for eight hundred years, charging his way to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Just as he was outwitting his 81st Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to immortality, he was suddenly pulled into a chat group called the "Multiverse Transmigrators Support Group." To his surprise, the group was filled with nothing but fresh-faced newbies who had just transmigrated. [Help! I transmigrated into a disgraced concubine in the cold palace, and the tyrant emperor is about to execute me!] [I ended up as a cannon-fodder villain, and the protagonist is still chasing me—WTF!] [I woke up as the protagonist’s father, but I’m about to be sacrificed in a ritual! What do I do? Urgent!!!] Chen Yi stared at the chaotic flood of desperate pleas in the group and fell into deep thought. "Seriously? You drag me into a newbie transmigrator chat group… only after I’m one step away from becoming an immortal?"

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
