[Ding!]
[Masterful move! The Saint correctly guessed the thoughts of the Transmission Array Attendant, making her especially excited!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones.]
With the help of the system prompt, Lin Yu knew he had perfectly guessed Fang Xinran's thoughts.
If she went back to the apartment, she could only face Junior Lin Yu together with everyone else.
Going out to buy things together...
Even if it was brief, it was a chance for her to be alone with Junior Lin Yu.
Today, this might be the only chance, right?
"Sure, what do we need to buy? I'll help."
What else was there to buy?
After the big supermarket shopping trip yesterday, everything needed had already been purchased.
Lin Yu was simply finding an excuse to act alone.
It seemed...
Fang Xinran really wanted to have a private chat with him.
He wondered what private words she wanted to say alone.
Lin Yu pointed towards the small park and said:
"Shall I show you around the residential complex first? Buying things isn't urgent."
Fang Xinran nodded and happily followed Lin Yu.
Actually.
What was there to see in the Xuefu residential complex?
Besides buildings, there were just more buildings, with very little greenery.
Even the small park for recreation was much smaller compared to other complexes.
It was a highly commercial-oriented complex.
Walking around inside the complex was worse than checking out the row of commercial shops outside.
At least those were well-stocked and had everything one needed.
Having just come out from the new place with Aunt Qimeng, even an iron body needed a breather.
Besides.
Judging by Senior Fang's state, it didn't seem like she was prepared for battle today.
Arriving at the small park, the two sat on the elderly fitness equipment and casually started chatting.
"Xinran, is the resignation confirmed?"
"When are you planning to leave?"
"Please don't just disappear suddenly. At least notify me so I can see you off properly."
Mentioning leaving, Fang Xinran couldn't help but speak with a hint of sadness:
"I've already submitted my resignation report, though it's not really a formal resignation."
"I was just a trainee teacher, not a permanent staff member."
"I just needed to notify the school leadership in writing and by phone; there aren't many complicated steps."
"Right now, I'm basically a free agent."
"As for which day I'll leave..."
At this point, Fang Xinran glanced at Lin Yu and continued:
"Probably the day after tomorrow or the day after that. Returning the apartment and packing will take at least a day."
Lin Yu appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he greatly admired Fang Xinran's ability to take action.
From the idea popping up to deciding to do it.
In such a short time, she could quickly arrange everything.
Without some execution power, one really couldn't accomplish so much.
If it were someone else,
they'd definitely procrastinate for ten days to half a month before even starting to pack.
Leaving a familiar city, leaving a circle of familiar relationships.
How could that be an easy thing?
As for the look Senior just gave him, it was full of extra meaning.
It seemed which day she left...
Lin Yu held a tiny bit of weight in that decision.
Since that was the case.
Lin Yu followed the topic and continued:
"Xinran, to be honest, I really admire your courage."
"I hope I can be as brave as you when facing work and life in the future."
"If you need help packing, if there's too much, I can help too."
[Ding!]
[Masterful move! The Saint appropriately offers an opportunity, making the Transmission Array Attendant yearn for it!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones.]
Lin Yu wasn't surprised by the system prompt that appeared.
If she didn't have some thoughts, why would Senior Fang ask him to come out alone to talk?
If Lin Yu wasn't proactive about this kind of thing, who would be proactive for him?
Immediately after.
Fang Xinran asked at just the right moment:
"Xiao Yu, are you free tomorrow?"
"I actually... do have some things that are a bit difficult to pack. I might need your help."
Lin Yu caught the hidden signal from Fang Xinran.
He still pretended not to understand and asked:
"Is there a lot of stuff? Do I need to find one or two more people to come help you pack?"
Fang Xinran quickly waved her hands, explaining:
"No, no, that's not necessary. If you can come... one person is enough."
"I'm just a girl; I really don't have that many things."
"Oh right, if you don't have time, it's fine! I can pack slowly by myself!"
At the end, Fang Xinran realized a flaw in her words and hurriedly added a sentence.
Lin Yu couldn't help but smile knowingly.
That's it!
This was the opportunity he was waiting for.
Not needing others to help meant it would be just the two of them at the scene, with no one else to disturb them.
Since Senior Fang could bring it up, it meant she was mentally prepared.
Lin Yu pinched his fingers, putting on a thoughtful expression as he asked:
"Tomorrow... I might need to shoot an assignment with my classmates during the day."
"It's the first shoot after forming the group; it wouldn't be good if I didn't go."
"What about the evening or night? Would that be okay?"
"Our group should be wrapping up by evening."
"I'll definitely have time then!"
This was a very important step...
Locking down the appropriate time!
Many things can easily go wrong if the timing isn't right.
Many facts prove that.
During the hours after sunset in a day, a person's energy field and rationality gradually decrease.
Things one might not do impulsively during the day might not be so impossible at night.
Night always brings psychological hints like "let's just do it," "what's done is done," "no one will know anyway"... and so on.
If the atmosphere was perfectly set but Fang Xinran suddenly regained her rationality and changed her mind, wouldn't Lin Yu be very frustrated?
Lin Yu wanted to use the most thorough planning to prevent such frustrations from happening.
For Fang Xinran,
Lin Yu agreeing to come had already achieved her initial goal.
The timing wasn't the focus of her attention at all.
Fang Xinran quickly responded:
"That's fine, evening is no problem!"
"We can have a simple meal downstairs in the complex."
"Although there aren't any particularly high-end restaurants, there are some good little eateries."
"If there's anything specific you'd like to eat, you can tell me, and I'll see if there's anything near my place."
When people are excited, they tend to talk more.
Fang Xinran could no longer suppress her excited feelings in her demeanor.
Lin Yu thought for a moment and asked:
"Xinran, you usually cook at home for yourself too, right?"
"Can I eat... the food you make?"
During his speech, Lin Yu left a very subtle pause.
Making it so Fang Xinran couldn't tell if it was an intentional pause or just a slip of the tongue.

(Second update for today. There will be another bonus chapter later tonight, not too late.)
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 disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. 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. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. 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.”
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone.

Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards. After suffering through over twenty years of hardship, Su Yang trembles with excitement, his dull eyes suddenly gleaming with newfound hope. "Enjoy life? How hard could that be?"
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...

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!"
