I downloaded the app and discovered that my childhood sweetheart's affection level had skyrocke

Cake Hand!

Lin Zhou coughed lightly, then took a deep breath and began shuffling, drawing, and dealing the cards, just like Ye Zhiyu did.

"Ahem." Lin Zhou casually took out a few cards.

Ok……

I don't understand. Aren't the tarot card designs randomly drawn? They're different every time you draw them, so what's the point?

but--

It doesn't matter.

Lin Zhou's glasses had already revealed some information about the other party. Lin Zhou muttered to himself, "You're so mean, I'm so mean, too..."

"Hey, that's not a tarot card." Ye Zhiyu lightly kicked his calf with her toe.

Lin Zhou: "..."

Ye Zhiyu casually placed one of her pantyhose-clad legs on Lin Zhou's thigh, then leaned back to find a more comfortable position to play the game, "Good luck~"

This guy.

Lin Zhou reached out and patted Ye Zhiyu's calf.

Xu Miaomiao, sitting opposite him, was speechless. The atmosphere of laughter and playfulness was overwhelming, and the boy in front of her was clumsily and awkwardly playing cards. It was obvious that he didn't know how at all.

What a waste of my time! You get what you pay for.

I'll just give a few perfunctory replies and then head back.

Just as Xu Miaomiao was thinking that, Lin Zhou placed his fingers on the table and said a simple sentence that made her hair stand on end.

"You're incredibly popular with the opposite sex, with more than one ambiguous relationship running through your mind at the same time. It seems like you're seeking emotional support from different people, enjoying being taken care of while simultaneously not being ready to commit to anything serious?"

What?!

One sentence hit the nail on the head, making Xu Miaomiao straighten her back a little. "You, you, you... Master, yes, I do have a lot of luck with the opposite sex, uh... and I also have a few very good friends."

Ye Zhiyu and the others behind them were stunned for a moment.

What? Did a blind cat stumble upon a dead mouse?

"Hmm... there are about four relationships."

"Yes!!!!!!!!!!" Xu Miaomiao's eyes lit up. "Master, can you take a look at the fifth one for me?"

Lin Zhou pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Classmate, I haven't met the other person yet, so I need to see them before I can calculate it."

"Can't it be counted?"

"No, the accuracy rate would be much higher if you met the person in person."

"Great job, Master! I'll find a chance to bring him over! You're really accurate!" Xu Miaomiao left happily.

Because only she knew about the guys she was dating at the same time, she had to manage her dates with different people in a very tight timeframe. She never expected that the person in front of her would figure it out at a glance!

After Xu Miaomiao left, Bai Wanwan couldn't help but ask, "How...how did you do that?"

Lin Zhou can also do divination?

Isn't this a scam?

Impossible! Lin Zhou couldn't possibly be a fortune teller. If he really could, wouldn't that expose the fact that I'm a yandere?!

If I sneak into my room every night to sleep with him, wouldn't that give me away?

If I secretly drink from Lin Zhou's water cup, wouldn't that give me away?

If he steals Lin Zhou's clothes and sleeps with them, wouldn't that give him away?

"It was just a sudden flash of inspiration, and then I figured it out," Lin Zhou offered an excuse. "I guessed."

"Yes, I felt the same way. It was a sudden flash of inspiration, and I'm pretty accurate." Ye Zhiyu had a look that said, "I understand you."

"Put your leg down first."

"You don't even want the benefits?"

"Uh..." Lin Zhou didn't mind at all, but after seeing Bai Wanwan's expressionless eyes and Luo Xiaoke's smiling face, he felt inexplicably uneasy.

Although Coco and Wanwan usually look very cute...

No, that's not right.

"I didn't expect anyone to come to my door for relationship counseling." Lin Zhou thought that no students from his club would come here.

Just as the group was chatting, there was another knock on the club door—

"Um, is this the after-school creative club?"

Lin Zhou and the others were stunned for a moment. They looked towards the door and saw a chubby boy standing there. He was wearing thick-rimmed glasses and the uniform of Yinshan Academy, but his jacket was open, revealing a shirt with an anime girl print underneath.

"Huh?" The chubby guy was also taken aback when he saw so many pretty girls in the department. "..."

"Please come in," Lin Zhou said.

"it is good."

After sitting down, the boy sighed deeply. "I'm sorry, I saw that the creative department seems to offer consultations. I... I've been wanting to talk to someone lately, is that okay?"

"Of course," Lin Zhou smiled.

After all, that's all the club does; there aren't any other activities.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"It's about writing," the boy said. "I'm a part-time author of campus-themed novels, but lately I've been having a lot of writing problems. The characters I create aren't getting any readers' approval, and people are criticizing the plots for being too cliché. The data is also bad. Waaah, I don't know what to do."

"Just cut it up and write another one," Ye Zhiyu said lazily.

"No, if I don't write it, the whole world will collapse!" The boy clutched his head.

What kind of cringeworthy statement is that...

"Senior, don't rush... uh, how about trying a different creative approach?" Lin Zhou didn't quite understand these things either. "There will definitely be readers who like your work."

"But, but I don't have enough good reviews. I cry every day when I see those bad reviews."

"You're a grown man, crying like this, tsk."

The boy seemed even more devastated by Ye Zhiyu's criticism, and a low-pressure atmosphere enveloped him.

"Little Fish, right now..." Lin Zhou said.

"Okay, okay," Ye Zhiyu said to the boy, "I have a great way to improve your novel's stats and make it more popular?"

"Really?"

"Yes." Ye Zhiyu said with a playful look, "Do you... have any aloof girls in your novels?"

"There are one or two."

"That'll do. We'll get a cold, aloof female lead, especially one who really hates men, and she'll always keep a distance from the protagonist, sometimes close, sometimes distant. Then we'll introduce a blond transfer student—" Ye Zhiyu said.

"And it's the kind of relationship where the female lead and the blond guy have a special connection that they can't help but be together. For example, they have some kind of contract, and they can share memories and feelings. They can even sense it when they're mining."

Boy: "..."

"Um, isn't this a bit too much?"

"Where's the excess? Look at any great author, which one doesn't have a cuckolded side? When they get criticized, won't the buzz just increase? First, post a chapter saying I did nothing wrong, then after the backlash, quickly backtrack and say it was just a mistake in the setting, that I forgot to add to it," Ye Zhiyu said.

"Then we'll replace the blond guy with someone else."

The boy remained silent for a while, then suddenly shuddered. "Write it like this? I... I won't get into trouble, will I?"

Ye Zhiyu shook her head. "Tsk, at most it's just a matter of going from being idolized → questioned → having scandals → a reversal of public opinion → imprisoned → a beverage."

"At best, all you'll get is a 'prisoner' title."

"It's still a long way from becoming a beverage."
