After hanging up the phone, Lin Yu couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
Even though his physical fitness and sleep quality had improved by leaps and bounds.
When something kept turning over in his mind, it was still hard to drift off.
In the end, the matter he discussed with Xia Yiwei still hadn't reached a conclusion.
Reason told Lin Yu this was a messy situation.
It looked cool and refreshing, but stepping into it would mean getting your feet muddy.
Yet, his childhood experiences were subtly influencing him...
He had eaten hundreds of packs of instant noodles, just missing that one "Timely Rain" card!
Just because it's hard to get, should he stop eating the noodles?
Moreover.
They were clearly telling him that the card he needed, Song Jiang, was in this very pack.
Someone with a collector's compulsion would find it hard to refuse!
...
4:50 AM.
At Xiang Tiange's home.
Having woken from her dream, Xiang Tiange couldn't find the feeling of sleep again.
She simply got out of bed and opened the laptop on her desk.
After a flurry of searching online, she found a somewhat reliable "Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation" website.
In the search bar on the page, she typed:
"What does it mean to frequently dream about the same guy?"
"What does it mean to dream about a date with a guy, and him expressing a desire to ?"
"What does it mean to dream about a real-life guy being very lewd in the dream?"
"..."
She conducted over a dozen searches in a row, popping up numerous posts.
Xiang Tiange, however, was quite patient, browsing through the content one by one, afraid of missing any important passages.
At first.
The first time she dreamed of Lin Yu, Xiang Tiange just thought it was interesting.
Dreaming of him again the night after they parted...
This must be hinting at something!
The internet knows how to play on people's hearts.
Or perhaps, people's hearts want to be played upon.
There were many long-winded posts; content hinting at unfavorable information was automatically filtered out by Xiang Tiange.
Instead, one comment with not particularly high likes contained a sentence that struck a chord with her.
She muttered the content from the post:
"Is this a clear sign of having a crush on someone?"
"If you dream of someone, you should call them quickly after waking up..."
"Is that what it is? So that's it!"
Xiang Tiange said excitedly while grabbing her phone from the bedside table.
She completely disregarded the content in the first post she saw, which said things like "the other person might be unfavorable to you..."
But upon picking up the phone and seeing the exact time, Xiang Tiange hesitated again.
It's not even 5 o'clock yet...
Should she hold on for another two hours and call around 7?
...
6:15 AM.
In Fang Xinran's rented apartment.
Unable to sleep again, Fang Xinran had already gotten up and started doing her makeup and getting ready.
Today, she was going to Lin Yu and Yimian's apartment to celebrate Lin Yu's birthday.
Getting ready early would ensure she didn't waste any time.
The night before last.
After returning from the bar, she had shared a beautiful memory with Lin Yu...
Who would have thought.
The same drinking scenario could be experienced again in a dream!
Only this time, without Tang Yimian around, it was purely their own little world.
The scene was much more explosive than a mere kiss.
Before resigning and leaving Pingchuan, Fang Xinran wanted to give Lin Yu a big gift.
In the dream, she had already given it once!
This was also why she couldn't fall back asleep after waking up.
Who could sleep after having such a dream?
Looking at her youthful and pretty outfit in the mirror, Fang Xinran still felt a lack of confidence.
Something still seemed too ordinary?
After looking left and right for a while, Fang Xinran found the problem...
Her hair!
The hairstyle looked too plain!
"Where did I put my hair curler...?"
Determined, Fang Xinran quickly started searching the room.
...
7:00 AM.
In Lin Yu's bedroom.
[Ding!]
[Today is another hopeful day, and it's also the host's birthday!]
[Please relax and enjoy a wonderful day with your fellow disciples!]
Brushing his teeth, Lin Yu looked suspiciously at his reflection in the mirror.
Today's system notification sounded a bit different!
A birthday limited edition?
Such a humanized design should have been shown earlier.
After sharing dreams with Xiang Tiange and Fang Xinran, Lin Yu also found sleep elusive.
He simply got up to wash up and welcome a beautiful day.
Today would undoubtedly become the most memorable day in both of his lifetimes.
The bustling world, all coming for him;
The hustling world, all revolving around him.
How many such highlight moments can one have in a life?
Most people might never have one in their entire lives.
Since Lin Yu had grasped such an opportunity, of course, he wanted to enjoy it thoroughly.
What surprised him even more was.
Today's system mission interface had turned gray?
Since awakening the system, this was the first time he had seen the system appear gray.
Had it become this considerate?
Birthday today, not suitable for mission-related toil?
He hardly recognized the system!
However.
This did make Lin Yu feel considerably more relaxed inside.
In the days since his rebirth, he hadn't had a single moment of idleness.
Even the time others spent sleeping, he utilized diligently, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
After all, no pain, no gain.
At least, with the system's help, Lin Yu's efforts and rewards were quite proportional.
Occasionally taking a small break for a whole day under high pressure...
Seems... not bad?
...
After finishing up and going downstairs.
Lin Yu felt a huge shift in his mindset!
Every morning at this time, he would greet the new day with "clear goals."
Suddenly coming down so leisurely felt a bit empty inside.
Walking down from the third floor, before even fully entering the first-floor hall, Lin Yu had already noticed something different.
Oh ho?
There were even balloons and glittering light strip decorations!
So formal?
Preparations by Aunt Qimeng?
He hadn't heard she prepared so many things.
Had he known, he should have talked to her properly.
Money shouldn't be spent so recklessly!
Earning money isn't easy these days.
These disposable things, the fewer the better, no need for such a grand scene.
"Mr. Yu, good morning!"
Lin Yu's attention was completely on the hall decorations, overlooking the slim, upright figure standing at the bottom of the staircase.
He was startled, his whole body jolting.
Only after recognizing the person did he pat his chest to calm down, saying:
"Whew..."
"Maomao, what are you doing standing here so early in the morning? Waiting for me?"
"That little pink suit of yours looks nice!"
...
(Second update for today, there will be an extra chapter coming up later. The rain made the road difficult today, got home a bit late. The final chapter is still a few hundred words short, will be written quickly and brought to everyone!)
reezy rom-com) Good news: Jiang Liu is quite the ladies' man. Bad news: He’s lost his memory. Lying in a hospital bed, Jiang Liu listens to a parade of goddesses spouting "absurd claims," feeling like the world is one giant game of Werewolf. "Jiang Liu, I’m your first love." "Jiang Liu, you’re my boyfriend—she’s your ex." "Jiang Liu, we’re close friends who’ve shared a bed, remember?" "Jiang Liu, I want to have your baby."

Before recovering his memories, Jiang Liu must navigate this minefield of lies and sincerity, fighting to protect himself from these women’s schemes.

] 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.
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
ither go to a cultivation world where a single sword strike can defeat ten thousand enemies. Or they travel back to historical dynasties to alter history and wield imperial power. At the very least, they'd go back a few decades to get rich using their future knowledge and build a harem. Who the hell would transmigrate here!
