The game's heroine has come true? The aloof school beauty is in tears.

When Shen Jia watched from afar as Lu Yuan leisurely strolled around the station entrance, even having the leisure to do a set of radio calisthenics.

She definitely broke down.

On her way here, she kept thinking about whether Lu Yuan was acting or not.

Did you stay up all night, feeling extremely anxious?

Therefore, she had to go there in person to confirm.

Otherwise, it feels like a million ants are crawling all over your body.

But when she saw it with her own eyes, she felt that she would have been better off not coming.

Why isn't he in a hurry?

Just as Lu Yuan pointed at her, she happened to walk out of the alley.

She wanted to go up and ask Lu Yuan what he was thinking!

"You're so far away, yet you still have the leisure to sit here so carefree?"

Shen Jia didn't shy away from the question, swaggering up to Lu Yuan and immediately launching into a tirade.

"Otherwise what?" Lu Yuan asked with a puzzled look, then suddenly smiled. "I know, I still have to write a poem."

"Why write a poem?"

"Have literary figures throughout history always written poetry when they were demoted?"

Lu Yuan, who could write any kind of poetry, could only cross his legs, shake his head, and pat the stationmaster on the shoulder: "Perfect timing, Huaimin is also awake."

"Why are you calling me by my full name?"

The station manager felt somewhat offended.

What's your full name?

"Liu Huaimin".

"You really are named Huaimin!"

"What's wrong with calling him Huaimin?"

"Didn't you study Chinese?"

The station manager, clearly annoyed, retorted, "If I were educated, would I be delivering food?"

Listening to Lu Yuan's joking chat, he completely ignored her.

Shen Jia was even more annoyed, and put his hands on his hips to speak:

Do you think I'm joking with you?

"Huaimin has already given me definite news."

"and you..."

"Will I die if I don't become the station manager?"

Lu Yuan's expression was extremely sincere, not at all like he was faking it; he even muttered to himself:

"I'll submit to being messed with, I'll cry if you hit me. Life is tiring enough, who wants to go against fate?"

"But I'm giving you a chance!"

"I've accepted my fate. I don't even dare to force a smile now, for fear that God will think I haven't given up yet."

"You can't accept your fate!"

Lu Yuan has resigned herself to her fate, but what can she do?

Shen Jia was almost in tears!

The situation left her completely at a loss.

"If you accept your fate now, then all your efforts will have been in vain!"

"Being a delivery rider is pretty good."

"The site needs you, everyone needs you!"

"It's okay if you don't need it."

Lu Yuan was adamant that he would not take the position of stationmaster no matter what.

Does he really not want to do it?

of course not.

He had to make Shen Jia beg him to do it.

Shen Jia is still too inexperienced.

They don't understand that in a game between two people, it's never about who gets beaten into submission and who loses.

Because people can't be defeated by fighting; the one who needs the other more loses.

From the moment Shen Jia had the idea of ​​seeking help from her family, she had already lost.

Because Lu Yuan could easily quit being the station manager.

But Shen Jia had no choice but to ask Lu Yuan to handle the matter.

Because she paid the price.

"Has your already dire family situation become even worse?"

Lu Yuan tilted his head and teased her.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jia's face immediately darkened.

Yes, it was very costly for her to do this.

After she told her about it, her parents' attitude towards her worsened, and they said a lot of sarcastic and cold things to her.

So she couldn't accept from the bottom of her heart that she hadn't received anything in return for her efforts.

Whether Lu Yuan becomes the stationmaster or not has nothing to do with her; the most important thing is to make him obey.

But Lu Yuan simply wouldn't listen.

Lu Yuan watched as her expression flickered like cloudy weather.

The smile on his face grew even wider.

Sometimes things are better done if you wait.

He only needs to turn off his phone and not answer calls, giving her no emotion or information whatsoever.

This forces her to think about the matter constantly, increasing the emotional cost she incurs.

She will naturally come to us.

As long as she doesn't give up on her goals or her costs.

In that case, it's up to Lu Yuan to decide.

What you care about will control you.

So, should Lu Yuan start negotiating terms now?

"You can go now, I'm perfectly fine as a delivery rider."

He still holds his own attitude.

Shen Jia's expression fell even more, and her tone lost its condescension, instead sounding somewhat pleading.

"If you come with me to my coming-of-age ceremony, I can even make you the stationmaster."

"Do you think this is child's play?"

Lu Yuan stood up and stretched his limbs.

"I really have a way. At worst, I'll kneel down and beg my mom."

"No need." Lu Yuan shook his head, observing her expression very seriously as he said, "However, I do have other conditions."

"you say."

Shen Jia gritted her teeth, and many thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant.

They want money, a promotion, and even...

She even looked down at her own body, and she even entertained such an extreme thought...

"What are you thinking!"

Lu Yuan immediately stopped her and asked her a few questions first:

"How are your grades? What time do you go to bed? Do you do chores after school? What do you do on weekends?"

"His grades aren't very good, he goes to bed at midnight, doesn't do housework, and goes out with friends on weekends."

Shen Jia answered truthfully.

I don't understand why Lu Yuan would ask such a question.

"Okay, starting today, your score on the next mock test will improve by 100 points, you must go to bed before midnight, you must do one chore every day, you are not allowed to hang out with your friends on weekends, and you must learn to cook for me at home."

"no..."

Shen Jia opened his mouth as if to speak.

But Lu Yuan gestured for her to shut up, indicating with his gestures that she could only nod or shake her head.

Shen Jia hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded.

Then Lu Yuan continued speaking:

"All actions must be recorded on video and reported; failure to report will not be accepted."

"it is good."

Shen Jia found it strange, but she still nodded in agreement.

This sounds much easier than the options we had guessed before.

"Okay, see you at the school gate tomorrow."

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

...

The area in front of the station has returned to its usual calm.

The station manager tried to ask something several times, but couldn't bring himself to do so.

"Just say what you want to say."

"So, all this escalation boils down to the love and hate among young people?"

"It's complicated. You'll understand when you reach our age."

"Could you explain this to me?"

The stationmaster's eyes held immense curiosity.

He understood; this young girl was quite energetic.

Although he is old, he was young once, and it would be a lie to say he is not jealous.

The person who can decide your promotion is your suitor.

Who wouldn't be jealous?

Jealousy is the original sin.

What about me?

I was talking about her.

"Oh." Huaimin nodded.

Lu Yuan, with his eyes tightly closed, casually said, "Do you know why people always describe jealousy as 'their face turned green'?"

"I've already told you I'm uneducated."

"Because the British pre-Raphaelite painter Waterhouse had a painting called 'Circe the Jealous,' which originated from Ovid's 'The Metamorphosis,' which tells the story of a sea god who loves a pure nymph named Scylla, but whose love is unrequited. He eventually seeks out the witch Circe in hopes of obtaining a love potion, but Circe falls in love with the sea god, and jealousy makes her pour the green potion into the sea, turning Scylla into a monster."

"What's the point of you saying this?"

"It's meaningless; it's just cultured people showing off to uncultured people."

Lu Yuan chuckled as he got up, went back to the station, picked up his helmet, and prepared to start running errands.

Before leaving, he left a message: "Stationmaster, don't turn green. I'll introduce you to some important people if I get the chance."

The stationmaster smiled sheepishly, suppressing the words that were about to slip out.

Or rather, Lu Yuan shut him down.

People are complex, and when faced with younger people they want to mentor, most people are tolerant and generous.

However, if one discovers that the younger generation is about to surpass the teacher, it is inevitable that one will have strange thoughts.

However, the stationmaster's idea was nipped in the bud before it even came to fruition.

Lu Yuan rode his electric bike into the distance and spotted Su Ming acting suspiciously at the entrance of an alley not far from the station.

"Su Ming, your face is turning a little green too."

Su Ming was frantically typing on his phone when he heard someone call his name, which startled him so much that he trembled all over.

People who have something to hide are easily frightened.

Lu Yuan ignored him and looked down at his phone to check the message notifications.

It was Shen Jia who had just left.

She acted as if nothing had happened and asked Lu Yuan what kind of clothes would look good on him.

Clearly, she had already prepared to outdo Shang Qingya at her coming-of-age ceremony.

"Wearing green, right?"
