When it comes to girls he doesn't like, he treats them with indifference.
But for the girls he likes, he takes the initiative to get close.
So...
What does it mean when the two of them are now running together?
Mao Ruirui's heartbeat kept accelerating, an unprecedented emotion flooding her mind.
Lin Yu's words were no longer just hints.
It was practically an outright declaration!
If she couldn’t even pick up on such obvious signals, wouldn’t it be a disservice to Lin Yu’s bold expression?
"Lin Yu, they’re catching up."
"I think we can... pick up the pace a little more!"
Mao Ruirui spoke decisively, as if she had made up her mind.
Lin Yu was inwardly overjoyed.
That was exactly what he wanted!
Let Sister Huanghuang and Wu Chuntian, who loved running, chase after them properly.
"Ruirui-jie, if you say so, then try to keep up with me!"
After saying this, Lin Yu sped up first.
Mao Ruirui, unwilling to fall behind, matched his pace.
The only ones suffering were the two girls desperately chasing after them.
[Ding!]
[Critical hit! The succubus and deer-girl duo are awestruck by the Saint’s physical prowess, their hearts filled with fear!]
[Reward: Spirit Stones 50+20]
Just as they were about to catch up, Lin Yu and his running partner actually sped up?
Lv Rou, panting heavily, bent over with her hands on her waist like a deflated balloon, gradually slowing to a stop:
"I can’t... I really can’t anymore..."
"He’s doing it on purpose... Lin Yu is absolutely doing this on purpose..."
If they couldn’t even see that, they’d be complete idiots.
Wu Chuntian had much better stamina than Lv Rou.
After all,
while she didn’t have a habit of morning runs, she did have a habit of night runs!
"Rou, anyone could tell he’s doing it on purpose."
"Someone like him... you can’t judge him by normal logic."
"From the looks of it, he doesn’t want to deal with us."
"Let’s just make it clear to him—get him to delete those photos and videos. I don’t even want to deal with him either!"
Wu Chuntian spoke without even sounding out of breath, looking ready to keep chasing.
Lv Rou, still struggling to steady her breathing, stared at Wu Chuntian in surprise.
Why did it seem like she was the only one running out of stamina?
Was Wu Chuntian’s physique really this good?
"Chuntian, maybe you... go ahead first?"
"I’m slow, and I’ll just hold you back."
"So I think..."
Lv Rou’s little scheme was written all over her face—she couldn’t hide it even if she tried.
Wu Chuntian, having been her roommate for so long and being her plastic sister,
wasn’t about to let herself be played for a fool.
"Weren’t you pretty fast during the fitness test?"
"That video was sent from your damn phone!"
"I didn’t make you chase him alone, and now you’re trying to boss me around?"
"Come on, hurry up!"
Before Lv Rou could say anything else,
Wu Chuntian grabbed her arm and dragged her forward at full speed.
...
[Ding!]
[God-tier move! His exceptional physique and athleticism leave the Beast Garden Elder in awe!]
[Reward: Spirit Stones 20]
Mao Ruirui wasn’t an athlete—just a girl who enjoyed casual jogging.
After suddenly sprinting for 200 meters, her breathing and heart rate were racing.
She struggled to adjust, relying solely on her own endurance.
Meanwhile, Lin Yu
looked exactly the same as when they started.
Not even a single drop of sweat on his forehead.
Lin Yu had to admire the succubus and deer-girl’s persistence.
They really wanted to talk to him, huh?
After nearly two laps around the track, they still hadn’t given up.
First, they tried chasing but couldn’t catch up,
then ran in the opposite direction to intercept them.
But Lin Yu and Mao Ruirui simply changed direction and left them in the dust.
Next, they tried waiting in place, hoping Lin Yu and Mao Ruirui would run past them.
But the two switched to doing half-lap sprints, deliberately avoiding them.
By this point,
the system notifications kept ringing nonstop,
documenting the two girls’ gradual descent into frustration.
At this stage,
Lin Yu figured even the most thick-skinned people would’ve given up by now.
Yet,
after disappearing briefly, the two girls returned to the track—holding sports drinks!
And finally,
they remembered one of the 21st century’s greatest inventions—the phone!
Lv Rou, acting as their representative, called Lin Yu.
"Is it those two girls again?"
Hearing Lin Yu’s phone ring,
Mao Ruirui slowed down and asked with concern.
Ever since the two girls stopped chasing,
she and Lin Yu had returned to their usual jogging pace.
If they kept sprinting, Lin Yu might’ve been fine,
but she definitely wouldn’t have lasted!
In front of Lin Yu, Mao Ruirui didn’t want to seem useless.
"Sigh, who else could it be?"
"Ruirui-jie, sorry, I might really have to go talk to them."
"Don’t misunderstand!"
"I just need to... make things clear with them!"
"I don’t want you to get the wrong idea."
[Ding!]
[God-tier move! His deeply caring attitude makes the Beast Garden Elder fall even harder!]
[Reward: Spirit Stones 20]
Mao Ruirui quickly waved her hands.
"Of course... of course I wouldn’t misunderstand."
"Lin Yu, go ahead. I’ll wait for you here."
"Just... don’t be too harsh on them, okay? Talk things out properly."
After saying this,
she gradually came to a stop, glancing toward the shaded area near the bleachers.
A silent indication that she’d wait there.
Lin Yu turned to look at the opposite side of the track.
Lv Rou and Wu Chuntian had noticed he’d stopped running.
The two girls hurriedly stood up but didn’t dare approach.
Only then did Lin Yu answer the call, saying:
"Don’t come over. I’ll go to you."
He hung up before Lv Rou could respond.
Even though Mao Ruirui had already moved to the shade,
Lin Yu wasn’t entirely at ease with the short distance.
The effects of the Beast Command weren’t under his control.
If they started spouting flirtatious nonsense, Mao Ruirui might overhear.
Going over to the other side of the track was the safest option.
Besides, it was time to settle this once and for all!
...
(Black Room progress report: Worked until past midnight again yesterday, submitted the edits, and this morning—still not approved.
Kind of ridiculous.
The latest batch of flagged chapters includes many from before Chapter 100.
So when you’re under the "abyss gaze," even a fart you let out two months ago gets dug up.
Yesterday, I thought Thursday’s chapters were safe, but today, Thursday’s got hit too.
The main problem areas now:
- First meeting with the nurse at the community hospital.
- The taxi scene after buying figurines with Xiao Chi.
- The Thousand-Faced Fox He Jing’s arc.
- And the dream sequence with the catgirl.
The catgirl dream I can understand, but the rest feel like they’re just scraping for violations.
Now you see why so many authors just give up once they enter the Black Room.
Because after you fix the flagged chapters from the day before,
a whole new set of "violations" appears the next day.
Day 1: nearly 30 chapters.
Day 2: 9 chapters.
Today: 12 chapters...
When does it end?
Probably only after every single line of my book has been scrutinized under a microscope.)
Many sections can no longer be fixed by simply deleting or altering them—it's already affecting the overall logic.
(Sigh, back to editing then.)

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)
