【Ding!】
【Congratulations, host! You have successfully completed the daily task "Inquiring about Preferences". You have gained 50 sect contributions and 80 spirit stones!】
Lin Yu wasn't the only one struggling to figure out others' preferences.
After hearing what Lin Yu said, Mao Ruirui sorted out her thoughts repeatedly, trying to find enough evidence to prove that Lin Yu was hinting at her.
After reaching a conclusion, the really nerve - wracking thing began.
Should she respond to Xiao Yu?
How should she respond to Xiao Yu?
Would it seem too unreserved if she responded?
Maybe she was completely wrong, and Xiao Yu didn't have that kind of intention at all?
Lin Yu was still deep in thought.
But Mao Ruirui summoned up her courage and took the initiative to say:
"Xiao Yu, would you like to... go for a run together tomorrow?"
"I go to the playground of your university every morning and run for more than an hour."
"It's very cool in the morning this season, not hot at all."
Is it okay?
It should be okay to say so.
It's not an impolite or unreserved invitation.
It's quite normal for a boy and a girl to go for a run and exercise... right?
Mao Ruirui murmured to herself in her heart, waiting for Lin Yu's answer.
She did this entirely to let Lin Yu know.
She was the kind of girl who "loved sports", "lived a healthy life", and had an "optimistic attitude"!
Lin Yu had a sudden thought.
Running...
Not bad!
He was still wracking his brains to find some common hobbies to meet the criteria of the soul - cultivation test.
Wasn't Sister Ruirui offering the opportunity on a silver platter?
How convenient!
"So, Sister Ruirui has been running in our university all this time?"
"No wonder I haven't met you when I occasionally run in the neighborhood."
"Sweating and running in the early summer morning is just perfect!"
Mao Ruirui's eyes lit up immediately.
She said happily:
"Right, right! I feel the same way."
"The feeling of running on the playground is even better. I have a way to get in."
"Xiao Yu, then let's go for a run together at 5:30 tomorrow morning."
Lin Yu: "!!!"
What time?!
5:30?!
Do the world - restart times for sporty girls always start at around five o'clock?
Lin Yu had been getting up at seven lately and thought he had outdone 99% of his peers.
Compared with Mao Ruirui.
He was practically a chronic late - riser!
It wasn't that Lin Yu couldn't get up at 5:30.
It's just that who could resist having a second round of sleep after falling back asleep?
But since the words had already been spoken.
If he changed the time now, wouldn't he become a "fake sports enthusiast"?
Lin Yu nodded with a smile and agreed:
"No problem. Let's meet at the neighborhood entrance at 5:30!"
【Ding!】
【Brilliant move...】
Lin Yu's response once again hit the right spot for Mao Ruirui.
After they set the time for the run.
Mao Ruirui seemed to open the floodgates of conversation.
She talked about her daily preferences and experiences in running and other sports.
Lin Yu knew.
She was trying to solidify her persona as a "sporty girl" through these little things.
It seemed that both physically - active and intellectually - active girls chose similar ways when it came to matters of the heart.
For the rest of the time.
Lin Yu didn't need to say much.
He just needed to be a quiet listener and give positive feedback from time to time.
...
It was already 9:30 p.m. when Lin Yu returned from Mao Ruirui's room.
It was still drizzling outside.
Lin Yu had just received a WeChat message from Aunt Qimeng. She and the "King of Dirty Jokes" had been busy until 9 p.m. sorting out all the flower varieties.
To ensure safety on the way, Aunt Qimeng took a taxi to send Sister Feirong first.
The "Antique Sister" also chatted with Lin Yu on WeChat for a while.
She reminded Lin Yu to set off around 9 a.m. tomorrow and not to stand her up.
In addition.
Lin Yu didn't forget to take care of Little Fufu and Elder Chi's feelings.
He chatted with them about a lot of "border - line" topics.
It was a long night, and he really couldn't fall asleep.
After getting used to the rhythm of life in recent days.
Going to bed at around 9 p.m. felt like a waste of youth to Lin Yu.
He lay in bed, empty - minded and bored for a while.
Then he picked up his phone again and found the WeChat chat dialog with Tang Yimian.
[Lin Yu: Senior sister, how's the revision of your novel going?]
Just a dozen seconds after sending the message...
【Ding!】
【Brilliant move. Your sincere concern and care have made the elder of the Transmission Hall deeply grateful!】
【Reward: 20 spirit stones】
Soon.
Tang Yimian's message came back.
[Tang Yimian: Thanks to you, Xiao Yu, I've revised several paragraphs. It looks much richer than before.]
[Tang Yimian: I should call you Teacher Lin. Thank you so much for providing me with such great help.]
[Tang Yimian: …]
[The other person is typing...]
Lin Yu looked at his phone: "…"
He just sent a simple message.
But Tang Yimian was writing an essay on her phone.
Every line was filled with two words:
Gratitude!
Lin Yu sent the message not to hear all this.
He quickly sent an important interrupting message.
[Lin Yu: I'm glad I could help, senior sister. I just finished washing up and have nothing to do. Do you want to read your writing together?]
After sending this message, there was a five - minute silence on the other end.
Lin Yu was also silent: "???"
Was it too proactive?
Did it make the senior sister wary?
It shouldn't be!
The level of goodwill between them had already reached the stage of the "soul - cultivation test task".
Wasn't the novel the key to the test task?
Why did the senior sister suddenly become so rational at this moment?
Was Lin Yu's one act of proactivity going to result in a whole day of silence?
Just as Lin Yu was feeling suspicious,
Tang Yimian's message finally came again.
[Tang Yimian: Teacher Lin, I just tidied up my room briefly. It was too messy before, but now it's all sorted out.]
[Tang Yimian: If it's not too much trouble, can you come to my room to have a look?]
[Tang Yimian: Last time it was in your room. I felt really bad about disturbing you.]
So that was it.
She was tidying up her room temporarily!
It was quite in line with the senior sister's style.
Then what else was there to say?
He had to go and have a look.
Last time when the water pipe burst, there wasn't much chance to spend time together properly.
Today was different.
After replying to Tang Yimian's message,
Lin Yu went to the second floor again and gently knocked on Tang Yimian's door.
Just as he knocked for the second time,
Lin Yu noticed that the door wasn't locked and was slightly ajar.
He gently pushed the door open.
At the same time,
He quickly operated in the system...
Ordinary room, show your true face in front of the Holy Son!
【Forbidden - Area Exploration Talisman】!
Go!
...

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
