【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!
...
(Here's an extra chapter. Thanks to everyone for your support. I'll keep working hard tomorrow!)
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
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. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races! [You attacked Liu Xuan] [You gained the debuffs: 'Poison', 'Fear', 'Burning', 'Bleeding', 'Freeze', 'Silence', etc.] [Your attack speed has been reduced by 99%] [Your armor and magic resistance have been reduced by 99%] Warriors of the Ten Thousand Races: How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
