Senior's Invitation, Lin Yu Could Not Refuse

[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.

...
