The system is very abstract, fortunately I am also.
Chapter 372 has too many demands; they simply cannot be met.
Chapter 372 has too many demands; they simply cannot be met.
She was using all my words!!
Watching Zhu Jingyi's back as she gracefully departed after unleashing a combo, Lin Li's lower eyelids began to twitch.
Although she was right, she understood me best.
—Just to emphasize, the purpose of the single quotes here is for Lin Li to express that he is not the "this kind of person" that Zhu Jingyi mentioned, not that he is not a "person". Thank you for your cooperation.
Lin Li did not pursue Zhu Jingyi any further.
Once the other party has clearly rejected you, it's not appropriate to keep pestering them. Let's see if there are any opportunities later.
Besides, the system hadn't actually issued any tasks, so Lin Li didn't have much motivation to continue working in that direction.
As for the stranger, just let him know via WeChat using a secondary account after the event.
So Lin Li shook his head and walked towards Fang Yu.
Fang Yu hadn't been sitting on the sofa but in a chair, so Lin Li simply sat down opposite him.
Then, I started playing on my phone.
It was impossible for Lin Li to feign politeness with her; he didn't even want to look up at her.
Why not take some time to tell Chen Yuying all the interesting things that just happened?
Fang Yu sat opposite Lin Li, curling her wig with her index finger, which was thicker than Lin Li's thumb, looked up at Lin Li, and then nodded.
Just barely passable.
She has a face that suits her, but her fashion sense is lacking.
However, her shyness is a plus for Fang Yu.
As for how to tell if someone is shy, it's really quite simple.
He only said one sentence in his self-introduction, and now he's scratching his head trying to think of a topic to talk about and start a conversation. He's like Xiahou Dun riding a pearl – a glimpse of Ding Zhen.
Perhaps finding it difficult to find a topic of conversation, Lin Li went to the bar and got a cup of fruit tea and a few packets of snacks.
It seems like you're trying to get them to open their mouths with food?
It won't be that simple for you.
"I don't like fruit tea, and I'm trying to maintain my figure lately, so I won't eat these," Fang Yu said calmly after Lin Li sat down.
Upon hearing this, Lin Li looked up, his eyes filled with a mixture of clarity and confusion as he glanced at Fang Yu, then nodded.
"Oh, that's good. You should lose weight."
After saying that, he immediately lowered his head, sipped his fruit tea, and played on his phone.
Fang Yu: "(;☉_☉)?"
Your mother!
"Let's get straight to the point,"
Fang Yu was annoyed at realizing she had misunderstood and couldn't wait any longer.
She patted the table, leaned back in her chair, intending to look down on Lin Li, but then heard a creak from the chair. Fang Yu quickly leaned forward again, adjusted her weight, and cleared her throat:
"Mr. Bai, your appearance is acceptable to me, I'm fairly satisfied. I'm actually interested in getting to know you better."
Tell me, if we were together, what kind of life could you offer me?
Personally, I have relatively high standards for quality of life.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Ha Fang, I'm not interested in you, so there's no need for us to get to know each other better. My personal suggestion is that we just wait quietly for the next segment."
Lin Li typed rapidly on his phone, looked up when he heard this, and gave a fairly polite reply.
Fang Yu was taken aback by these words, but then laughed out loud, looking at Lin Li with some disdain:
"I don't like beating around the bush, so let's just be direct. You have a house but no car, which is a bit of a disadvantage, but I'm not a materialistic person. As long as you add my name to the house deed as soon as we get together, I won't care if you don't have a car."
Also, you'll have to hand over your entire salary by then. Six thousand... tsk, that's a bit low, but it should be enough. You still need to work hard and get a raise soon.
Also, how's your cooking? Are you diligent with housework? I don't want to keep eating takeout in a dirty environment..."
—Although Lin Li's self-introduction didn't mention any of this, Fang Yu could directly find this information on Yizhen Marriage Agency's mini-program.
Lin Li: "?"
These words made Lin Li feel physically uncomfortable.
In fact, Lin Li did not completely deny the idea of adding a name; it was indeed a sign of sincerity and a way of giving people a sense of security.
According to unofficial historical records, Nalan Yanran broke off the engagement because she saw Xiao Yan transfer all his Dou Qi to Yao Lao's name, and felt that he didn't love her and that the two were not a good match.
But many people take this for granted, and without contributing anything or showing any sincerity, they are just being foolish.
But Lin Li still didn't attack.
It's not worth it; I can't be bothered to waste my breath on someone like that.
He simply looked up and met Fang Yu's gaze, interrupting her speech, and said seriously, "Miss Fang, there's no point in saying all this. What I just said is that I'm not interested in you. My family is Muslim."
"enough!"
“Mr. Bai, this approach is outdated. Why bother with this 'playing hard to get' game? In my eyes, it's a turn-off.”
Fang Yu was speechless for this moment, and directly exposed Lin Li's little scheme:
"You're already sitting right in front of me, so why are you still talking nonsense?"
After I came in, your gaze kept sweeping over me, and during the self-introduction, your covetousness and desire for me became even more obvious.
I sensed all of this clearly. Seeing how much you like me, I wrote your name down, giving you a chance. You should cherish this opportunity instead of playing these pointless games! Understand?
"So you've been found out... Indeed... Miss Fang, the reason I've been looking at you is because I do have some desires for you."
Lin Li thought for a moment, then finally turned off his phone and placed it on the table. After taking a deep breath, he turned his head away somewhat embarrassedly, not daring to meet Fang Yu's gaze, and his voice was also a little shy:
"Miss Fang, could you... stay at my house for a couple of days?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and lowered her voice again, which had already been slightly raised.
She became even more smug after discovering that Bai Bufan liked her more than she had imagined.
"So eager? You want to be together and live together today... Hmm... If you go through the property deed addition process today, I can consider it."
"No, no, it has nothing to do with being together," Lin Li shook his head, his face flushed with embarrassment.
"Sis, it's like this, I let one of my pigs escape a few days ago. My dad doesn't know yet, but he'll definitely be furious when he finds out. So, could you stay at my house for a few days?"
Lin Li is now Bai Bufan, so it's reasonable for him to have a father.
Fang Yu: "?"
"What did you say?!" Fang Yu screamed, stunned and unable to believe what she had just heard.
“There are benefits, there are benefits! You can eat the swill as much as you want, and you can play with the boars as much as you want!” Lin Li quickly emphasized, “It’s not like I’m asking you to help for nothing.”
"are you crazy!"
Fang Yu's face turned red with anger. She picked up the bag on the table and threw it at Lin Li, but he caught it steadily and put it aside.
Looking at Fang Yu, who looked as if she had been boiled in soy sauce, Lin Li's shyness vanished, and he calmly shrugged.
"I've already said I'm not interested in you, so what are you imagining? Miss Fang, don't you know... never mind."
Lin Li originally wanted Fang Yu to take a piss and look at himself in the mirror.
But one reason was that she was afraid that if she said that, she would actually urinate on the spot, which was also recorded on Bai Bufan.
Secondly, I felt that even if she urinated, she could only see her own large stomach when she looked down, not the urine, so it was meaningless to take a picture of herself.
"What are you barking about, you dog?!"
"Lots of people like me, I've had over a dozen ex-boyfriends! What do you know, you loser! You're the one looking in the mirror!"
But Fang Yu already understood what Lin Li wanted to say, and she shouted even more angrily.
"Wow, that's impressive," Lin Li gave a thumbs up and started to joke, "Then why are you at this social event, sis?"
"Screaming again! Because my ex-boyfriends are all from other provinces, and my family doesn't want me to marry someone from outside the province! What do you know! Do you think I'm some unwanted piece of trash like you..."
Lin Li suddenly realized.
The number of ex-boyfriends might actually be real—from online dating.
It's strange, but people with nice voices, regardless of gender, often tend to be larger in size.
Fang Yu in front of me is indeed one of them. Before his current roaring and voice cracking, when he spoke with a clear voice, it wasn't unpleasant to hear.
However, Lin Li later felt a little sorry for the handsome guys she had met online.
This cute little girl on the internet becomes a fortress of cute little girls in real life. How can she stand it when they meet in person?
Thinking of this, Lin Li ignored Fang Yu's insults and asked with innocent curiosity, "Sis, have you ever successfully met someone in real life?"
This is no longer a matter of whether the lights are off or not.
Lin Li's mind is now filled with a Dark Elixir troop from Clash of Clans.
"Who wants to talk to you about this!" Fang Yu was even more annoyed by Lin Li's grinning face, and since her meeting in person hadn't gone very well, she became even angrier: "What the hell are you laughing at, you idiot!"
Lin Li was obedient and immediately stopped laughing. He then spoke earnestly to Fang Yu:
"Sis, I'm not trying to be mean, but you really should lose weight. Otherwise, you might end up happily holding your boyfriend's hand while eating pig's head meat every time you meet him in person."
The food had just arrived, and because it was steaming hot and obstructing your view, your boyfriend accidentally picked your head with his chopsticks. How embarrassing would that be?
Fang Yu: "(;☉_☉)?"
After a few seconds of silence, Fang Yu completely exploded. She stood up abruptly and tried to overturn the table, but Lin Li held her down and she didn't budge.
So Fang Yu grabbed anything she could and started smashing it against Lin Li, cursing as she did so.
"You damn loser! Bai Bufan! You bastard who grew up in a latrine! You really think you're something special, huh? Six thousand yuan a month and you think you're good enough to go on blind dates? With your pathetic looks, you should be living in a pigsty in the suburbs with breeding sows! Forget it, even if you were a dog, nobody would want you..."
When a normal person roars, the veins on their neck will bulge, but Fang Yu didn't, because they were all hidden by fat.
Fang Yu's wig hung askew to one side, her 200-pound body turning a deep, dark red from rage, her thick neck heaving violently with her heavy breathing.
Those who enjoy chasing after women are now in luck.
Lin Li, with a beaming smile, easily caught everything Fang Yu threw at him and placed it aside. Then, while Fang Yu was grumbling, he picked up his phone, nodded in a mock-serious manner, and then said to Fang Yu with a heavy expression:
"Ms. Fang, the crematorium called me and said your mother got stuck in the pot and they might have to pay some compensation."
Fang Yu: "?!"
"Bai Bufan, I fuck your ass, you fuck your ass, you're a dead ass!"
It sounds awful; Bai Bufan's family tree is now being elevated to an extreme level.
In fact, as early as when Lin Li invited Fang Yu to stay at his house for two days, those nearby in the activity room had already noticed Fang Yu's commotion as she berated Lin Li.
Back then it was a small-scale event, but now, everyone in the activity room has stopped their matchmaking activities and is watching this argument unfold.
Zeng Ziang's lips twitched slightly.
Listening to Bai Bufan's insults, Zeng Ziang finally understood why Lin Li didn't use his real name.
Damn you.
So they had already anticipated this? "Brother Wang, shouldn't we stop them...?"
Zeng Zi'ang couldn't bear to see Lin Li being beaten and scolded like this, so he prepared to call for reinforcements.
"Huh?" Wang Baiyu, who was sitting with his legs crossed, eating snacks and smiling, asked in confusion when he heard Zeng Ziang's voice.
“…It’s alright now.” Zeng Zi’ang silently swallowed his words.
Should I go forward alone?
Zeng Zi'ang dared not.
He was afraid of lard splattering on him, because it's hard to wash off.
Since things have come to this, let's just continue watching the drama unfold. Lin Li seems quite composed, anyway.
"Hey! Don't throw it! What's wrong? What's wrong?! Don't fight!"
But finally someone stepped forward—Fu Miao, who had just returned from the restroom.
When she saw this scene from outside the door, her world collapsed.
"He kept insulting me!" Fang Yu, panting and exhausted from throwing things away, pointed at Lin Li and roared as a third party finally appeared.
Fu Miao was taken aback by what she heard.
No matter how I came in, all I heard was you cursing him.
But since the one being scolded was "Dream Chicken's Tears," Fu Miao still tentatively looked at Lin Li.
"I didn't scold her. I just invited her to stay at my house for two days, and that was after I had clearly refused twice, and she still insisted on saying irrelevant things." Lin Li shrugged.
Fang Yu: "You fucking invited me to your house to eat swill and play with a boar!"
Fang Yu's furious words instantly caused countless people in the activity room to lower their heads—including Fu Miao.
The crowd trembled, probably intimidated by Fang Yu's aura; otherwise, they couldn't possibly be laughing, could they?
Fu Miao never expected to hear such words, but she quickly suppressed her laughter and looked up, knowing she still needed to smooth things over.
"Alright, alright, let's calm down. There's no need for that. When it comes to making friends, there's always a process of adaptation and selection. It's inevitable to meet people who aren't right for you. Getting angry is just doing yourself a disservice."
"I support you." Lin Li nodded calmly, picked up the unfinished fruit tea on the table, and continued sipping it.
"I can't be bothered arguing with this kind of person! A complete idiot! Here! You guys are so stupid! Get me another one!"
Fang Yu was too exhausted to make a scene. Panting, she sat down, crossed her arms, and snorted coldly, "I never want to see Bai Bufan again in my life. Hurry up and find someone else!"
Fu Miao really wanted to nod, but she just couldn't bring herself to do it.
— Apart from Bai Bufan, the other ten men present all added Fang Yu to their list of least desired match partners.
It's all my colleague Fan Hong's fault. We agreed that this kind of event wouldn't include any blacklisted members—an internal company list that included both men and women, all of whom were the most difficult to please.
But this time, Fan Hong insisted on saying she sent it by mistake.
"This...this event has already started, it might not work..." Fu Miao could only say.
"Then I'll leave?" Fang Yu laughed angrily.
"Is that okay?!" Fu Miao's eyes lit up.
Fang Yu: "?"
"Uh, no, no, well, gentlemen here, is anyone willing to switch places with this gentleman?"
The moment Fang Yu glared at her, Fu Miao realized she had made a mistake and immediately looked at the other people in the activity room.
However, all the men who had just been tacitly gossiping about the gossip now tacitly began to focus on other things.
Especially Shao Hengkai, who was closest to this table.
Holy crap, this table is way too big.
"..."
Eerily quiet.
"If we have a dozen or so babies at a time, my Bai family should grow very large very quickly." At this moment, Lin Li walked to the window of the activity room, looked at the scenery outside, and muttered to himself, "Should I make a sacrifice..."
The boys lowered their heads again.
Please remember, normal humans cannot have more than a dozen offspring at once.
"I'm not serving you anymore! Do you think I care? I've always been too lazy to come to these kinds of events!" Fang Yu, who had become completely famous, realized that no one wanted her, so she stood up abruptly, picked up her bag, and walked out.
When passing by Fu Miao, he deliberately bumped into her shoulder.
The power of the semi-trailer was terrifying; it instantly knocked Fu Miao to the ground.
They are all living life to the fullest.
"Are you alright, sis?" Shao Hengkai immediately looked away from the table and helped Fu Miao up.
"It's alright, thank you. I feel relieved that she's gone." Fu Miao stood up, turned around and looked at Fang Yu, who had already left the activity room. There was no sadness of being pushed back, only the relief of escaping a disaster.
However, a second problem then arose.
With a male-to-female ratio of 1:1, there's one less woman after Fang Yu left. She can't just fill in for herself.
“Mr. Bai… this…” Fu Miao looked at Lin Li, somewhat at a loss.
“It’s nothing,” Lin Li naturally knew what Fu Miao was troubled about, and shook his head with a smile: “Sister, you can continue with your process. Just pretend that I’m someone who’s not here.”
Leaving halfway through is impossible; otherwise, the mission would be impossible to complete.
As for following the procedure without a female companion, it should be fine.
Let's treat this as a test. If I can still complete the task even after Fang Yu leaves, that might be a good thing, as it will make it easier for me to set standards for the next two times.
"How about I see if I can contact another woman who is interested..." Fu Miao was still trying to make amends.
"No need, I'll just play on my phone and wait for my friend to finish so we can leave together. I can participate in the other parts that don't require matching."
After Lin Li's repeated emphasis and firm confirmation, Fu Miao finally accepted the situation.
Lin Li was happy to be at ease and immediately found a spot to recount the fun he had just had to the "three people and one dog".
I could hear Wang Baiyu talking to his blind date.
Woman: "I think you're great."
Wang Baiyu: "I also think you're pretty good."
Woman: "Then we..."
Wang Baiyu gave two thumbs up—one for the woman and one for himself, which was fair: "We're all great!"
……
"Thank you all for participating! Today is just the beginning of our connection. Our platform will continue to provide exclusive matchmaking services for each member."
If you're interested in getting to know them better, remember to exchange contact information and arrange dates through mini-programs or group chats! Wishing everyone a wonderful future where you meet the right person!
Please feel free to contact me or other staff members if you have any questions. See you at the next event!
[Entering the Marriage Pavilion three times, experiencing the trials of the mortal world (1/3)]
The event ended a little before 4 p.m.
Because he had a bye, Lin Li spent most of his time playing on his phone, only occasionally participating in some group activities.
However, the system still gave positive feedback, adding progress at this moment.
The system is good, Fang Yu is bad.
As for Zhu Jingyi, Lin Li had been paying attention to her, but he hadn't found an opportunity, and the system hadn't triggered the task.
After politely declining Wang Baiyu and others' warm invitation to dinner, Lin Li and Zeng Ziang said goodbye and prepared to return to their residential compound.
"Brother, how were you feeling today? Did you go on any dates? Any good results?" Lin Li asked from the passenger seat. "I noticed you went on several dates."
"I have gained something. I have learned more about blind dating and some skills. These can all be considered gains. From this perspective, I have gained a lot."
"But, emotionally speaking, there's absolutely none."
“Blind dates are too realistic,” Zeng Ziang shook his head and sighed. “After hearing that I am a senior in college and have no savings at all, I completely lost interest in many moments.”
"And some of them have such high standards, saying they have to find someone rich, without even considering their own circumstances, tsk."
Lin Li smiled upon hearing this:
"If a man who drives a Porsche dates five women a year, then there will be five more women in the world who say, 'My ex-boyfriend drives a Porsche,' and fifty more women who say, 'My best friend isn't that good-looking, but she can find someone who drives a Porsche, so I can too.'"
She might be the latter.
Zeng Ziang chuckled: "Damn it, when rich people want to eat at hole-in-the-wall restaurants, they've ruined us ordinary folks. I'm going to hate rich people now."
"But bro, didn't I see a woman approach you later? And she even stopped you from having dinner with her just now. Isn't she interested in you?" Lin Li asked curiously.
During the event, Lin Li noticed a woman who was particularly enthusiastic towards Zeng Ziang, and this continued until the end.
Even in the end, Zeng Zi'ang used the excuse of being sent back as a shield to escape.
That woman wasn't Fang Yu; she was around 25 or 26 years old, and not ugly.
"Oh, you mean Sister Yan?"
Zeng Zi'ang's expression was complex:
"She's not materialistic; she earns quite a lot herself. Because her requirement for a partner is that the male college student isn't ugly, she's very interested in me and specifically came to ask me about it."
However, I personally feel that I don't quite meet the requirements, so I don't plan on any further developments.
"Not satisfied? Didn't you perfectly satisfy those two requirements?" Lin Li was stunned.
Zeng Zi'ang was definitely not ugly.
Zeng Ziang glanced at Lin Li, his expression becoming even more complicated.
"Lin Li, 'Male college students must be good-looking,' these are the five requirements."
"Lin Li, you...you actually managed to meet the conditions, how despicable."
Zeng Zi'ang pouted, clearly unhappy.
and many more.
Five?
Eh? No.
Lin Li: "(;☉_☉)?"
