People at the practical education center only want to drop out.

With a sturdy and effective shield, even if a girl has a strong liking for Bai Lan, she can't easily "attack" her.

Next, we need to address the root cause.

Because of the unpredictable nature of being driven by love, Bai Lan couldn't understand what the girls who liked him were really thinking.

However, since his eccentric behavior yesterday would increase the favorability of those love-struck individuals, he will simply refrain from doing it again.

In addition, he could try other ways to provoke hatred, and then observe the girls' reactions at the same time.

If it works, continue; if it doesn't work or has the opposite effect, stop immediately.

In short, we must lower the girls' level of affection for him. Even if we can't lower it, we must suppress it and at least prevent it from erupting before he drops out of school.

As for the specific implementation method.

A fundamental solution still requires further exploration.

He planned to learn from the boys in his class who had successfully won the girls' hearts and study their advanced techniques for attracting hatred.

Remove the parts that you simply cannot do, then try and verify them, refine the essence, and ultimately promote effective satirical techniques.

Some practice is needed to get results.

"Treating the symptoms" can be effective immediately, so let's talk about "treating the symptoms" first.

Bai Lan thought about it and felt that she had about four criteria for finding a fake girlfriend:

First, if they don't like me, or even dislike me, that would be even better, so that... at least in the short term, they won't take the fake relationship for real.

Secondly, having a certain ability to protect oneself is essential to prevent the fake girlfriend from being outmaneuvered by the rival and causing harm to oneself.

Third, she possesses a unique quality that is difficult to replicate. After all, the choice of girlfriend will indirectly reveal Bai Lan's views on choosing a partner. The more unique the persona of a fake girlfriend is, the more irreplaceable it will be for her dating rivals.

Fourth, it is possible to guarantee "loyalty" and it is controllable.

The reason there is a fourth point.

Firstly, it's to prevent the fake girlfriend from not taking the "(fake) love defense battle" seriously, causing rivals to ignore her and bypass her to cause trouble for Bai Lan. In that case, the fake girlfriend would be practically useless.

Secondly, it prevents the fake girlfriend from using the identity of "Bai Lan's girlfriend" to do unnecessary things, causing trouble for Bai Lan that affects his plans, hindering his dropping out of school, or using this identity to do bad things, making Bai Lan, who gave her the identity, feel guilty.

After some thought.

Sure enough, Bai Lan actually found a suitable target!

I'm talking about none other than the hot girl boss who dared to stare him in the eye with a fierce look today.

After class, Bai Lan specifically went to the seating chart to check the other person's name.

Karuizawa Megumi.

Judging from the way she glared fiercely at Bai Lan this morning, it's clear that she doesn't have any romantic feelings for Bai Lan, and may even be somewhat hostile towards her.

It meets the first requirement.

As a hot girl, or even a bit of a delinquent, most girls wouldn't dare mess with her; she has the ability to protect herself.

The second condition is met.

The trait of being a "hot girl leader" is already rare; she's the only one in the whole class.

Moreover, her fiery and volatile personality makes her difficult to approach.

However, Horikita is like a block of solid ice; you won't get frostbite if you don't touch it.

Karuizawa, on the other hand, feels like a ball of fire; if there's even the slightest flammable material around her, she'll engulf it.

However, compared to Horikita, she is still considered to be at a normal level of "difficult to get along with," and she can still make friends from all over the place.

She is also very pretty and cute, and her appearance is almost a perfect match for Horikita, making her a strong contender for the title of class beauty.

The third condition is met.

In addition, Karuizawa may also have suitors.

The chances of a hot girl's suitors being violent guys seem to increase significantly!

Finally, the fourth point.

How can we guarantee "loyalty"?

Common interests?

Or perhaps they use some leverage to threaten you?

Bai Lan planned to observe the other party carefully.

See what benefits or needs the other party has.

Or, if you discover that the other party has done something wrong, you can use the evidence to coerce her into cooperating.

If the other person is really a delinquent, she's bound to do some bad things, right?

For example, forcing classmates to "borrow money" or bullying weaker classmates.

If he has evidence of the other party's wrongdoing, then he can exploit the other party without any psychological barriers.

Is this what they call "reform through labor"?

Time flies by.

The time came to noon.

In Japan, lunch break is very short, only about an hour. Basically, you eat a meal, wash up, chat for a bit, and then it's time for class to start.

Although Bai Lan has been in Japan for half a year, he has only been attending school in name only and has not been there much, so he is not very familiar with the actual situation of Japanese students at noon.

Bai Lan had a habit of observing her surroundings, and subconsciously began to observe how the people in her class had lunch.

Most students chose to bring out their pre-prepared lunches, whether they bought them from a convenience store on their way in the morning or made them themselves. They would then gather around a table with some close friends, eating and chatting.

He noticed that his classmates' lunchboxes were all cold and didn't have much sauce.

The reason for doing this.

Firstly, food is less likely to spoil when there is a lack of moisture and a lower temperature.

Secondly, the aroma of food evaporates along with moisture. The faster the moisture evaporates, the stronger the aroma becomes. A strong aroma may bother others, while cold food with less moisture can suppress the aroma emitted by the food as much as possible.

In Bai Lan's opinion, such food is fine to eat occasionally, but eating it often would be torture.

During meals, if he doesn't have something warm in his stomach, he feels that no matter how much he eats, until he's stuffed, he'll still feel empty inside, as if something is missing...

At that moment, Bai Lan suddenly had an inspiration.

If he eats strongly scented food in the classroom, will it lower the girls' favorability towards him?

After thinking it over, Bai Lan decided to put it aside for the time being.

What if it gets misinterpreted again as "Man, you've successfully caught my attention once more"?

Let's focus on imitating well first, and then consider surpassing it.

Besides bringing your own lunch, you can also go downstairs to eat in the cafeteria or go to a convenience store.

Bai Lan chose to go to the cafeteria for a hot meal.

On the way out of the classroom.

When several girls were moving a table, they blocked his way.

He took the opportunity to conduct an experiment.

“You’re blocking my way,” Bai Lan said.

Despite his impolite tone, the girls didn't seem angry at all. Instead, they all said "sorry" and then happily smiled as they made way for him.

(Girls: It's so funny how Bai doesn't know how to choose words!)

This made Bai Lan feel guilty and upset.

Being treated rudely doesn't make me angry; in fact, it makes me happy.

too weird!

Steady!

Confirmed.

She's definitely love-struck, no doubt about it.

Bai Lan arrived at the cafeteria and ordered a beef noodle soup that would be served very quickly.

Note: Less broth, more seasoning.

Three ①② Eight garments, four garments, three ⑨

After picking up the food.

Bai Lan then brought over some free purified water.

Then, to the astonishment of the ramen chef and the other students who loved ramen, he poured purified water into the ramen, which only had half a bowl of broth, until the steaming, rich broth became just warmer than Bai Lan's lips and had a perfectly balanced saltiness.

And just like that, the ramen was no longer too hot, but tasted just right, and you could eat it however you wanted.

The Japanese value "simple food".

Its main characteristic is—few!

Therefore, the amount of noodles in a bowl of ramen is actually not much.

Afterward, Bai Lan first ate a few pieces of beef to whet her appetite, and then swallowed the whole bowl of ramen in a few bites, barely chewing it, giving the impression that it was forced down her throat.

Do you even know what "tornado-style noodle slurping" means?

To show respect to the chef, Japanese people will deliberately make a "slurp~ slurp~" sound when eating ramen.

Bai Lan's respect was even greater, and she made "glug-glug" sounds.

With just a few gulps, Bai Lan devoured a bowl of ramen.

After finishing her meal, Bai Lan went to order more noodles.

The Japanese believe that the soup is the essence of ramen, while the noodles are merely a condiment.

Therefore, many ramen shops in Japan offer free refills of noodles, but refills of broth cost extra.
