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?"
...
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day!

Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks.

In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”

. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
