During the movie,
Lin Yu watched with complete attention.
This was an era that had yet to be hit by the wave of short videos. Most people still had the patience to sit down and watch an entire movie from beginning to end.
Ten years from now, though, forget sitting still long enough to finish a movie—even five-minute movie recaps would have to be split into parts one, two, and three.
In the future, it would seem as if people’s time had been chopped into pieces.
And perhaps time wouldn’t be the only thing being cut apart…
“Little Lin, have you seen this movie before?”
Seeing how absorbed Lin Yu was, Chi Qingchi couldn’t help asking curiously.
Lin Yu nodded.
“I’ve seen both the anime and the live-action movie. More than once, too.”
“Little Chi, you have pretty good taste!”
While they were choosing a movie, Little Chi had kept looking at live-action adaptations of manga.
Lin Yu had assumed she would pick some kind of angsty youth romance.
He hadn’t expected this.
She had actually chosen a movie like this.
It really did catch him off guard.
Hearing Lin Yu’s answer, Little Chi leaned sideways, moving a little closer to him.
“Hehe, good. Since you’ve seen it before, I won’t be interrupting you.”
“Which character do you like best?”
“Let’s talk about it together!”
“I love discussing anime characters with other people!”
“Little Lin, you have to follow your heart when you choose. It’s very important!”
Lin Yu answered without the slightest hesitation.
“That question doesn’t even require any thought!”
“Obviously, my favorite is…”
“Misa Amane!”
Chi Qingchi: “…”
Lin Yu: “…”
Chi Qingchi: “Be serious!”
Lin Yu: “Hahaha, I am being serious!”
That question was basically the same as asking:
Which character from Romance of the Three Kingdoms did you like best?
Was there even anything to think about?
Of course it was Diao Chan, or Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao!
Clearly,
Little Chi wasn’t satisfied with Lin Yu’s “cleverly evasive” answer.
“I was asking which of the two male leads you like best.”
Chi Qingchi simply narrowed down the choices and made Lin Yu answer again.
This time, Lin Yu really began to think…
When he had first read the original manga, Lin Yu had thought L was incredibly charming.
L had been his favorite character.
But people changed.
As time passed, their personalities and preferences could undergo earth-shaking changes.
As for Lin Yu now…
“To be honest, I actually like Light Yagami more.”
Lin Yu gave his answer with a perfectly solemn expression.
Chi Qingchi nodded thoughtfully and gave Lin Yu a thumbs-up.
“How so?”
“If you’re going to make me answer seriously, there must be a reason, right?”
Lin Yu hurriedly pressed her for an explanation.
Chi Qingchi stared into Lin Yu’s eyes and spoke slowly.
“Just as I guessed…”
“You’re very intelligent, but you’re also an out-and-out schemer.”
“You keep a whole pile of secrets that no one else knows about, and you see right through everyone around you.”
“Excellent and powerful… and also a very domineering, very violent man!”
Lin Yu: “…”
Being seen through while still feeling an urge to argue back was a rather strange sensation.
The adjectives Little Chi had used had hit nearly every one of Lin Yu’s defining traits with uncanny precision.
Unable to help himself, Lin Yu asked again:
“What if I had chosen L? What would you have said then?”
Chi Qingchi poked Lin Yu in the forehead with one finger.
“Then it would mean you’re a dishonest person who loves to lie!”
Lin Yu was speechless.
“Are you asking questions while already holding the answer?”
Wasn’t Little Chi’s implication that he had to choose the scheming Light Yagami?
Huh?
If he chose the other one, the label wouldn’t change.
He would simply get another one added to it: liar!
Little Chi grinned and continued:
“At least this proves that you’re honest.”
Lin Yu turned sideways as well, facing Chi Qingchi directly.
“Then let me ask you a question. Which character do you like best?”
world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...
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?

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.

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.
