I set you up on a blind date, and you've managed to overcome all the weirdness?

Lin Yan revealed the details of what she saw in dormitory 404 last night.

This is, after all, a world created by the senior student. In her subconscious, passersby should tend to side with her.

Lin Yan wanted to leverage the power of the masses.

Chen Qing's expression darkened, and his smile vanished.

How could he know about the ceremony? Xiaoya and the others are always careful in their work; there's no way they would let a new school janitor see it!

"You're courting death..." A cold killing intent flashed in Chen Qing's eyes, and he mouthed something slightly, which only Lin Yan could hear.

"You've already broken through her defenses?"

Lin Yan sensed the killing intent of his opponent and felt there was no challenge, so he chose to add fuel to the fire.

He moved closer to Chen Qing, deliberately bringing his face close, and before the other could react, he pretended to sniff.

"Teacher Chen, your body..."

Lin Yan feigned surprise.

"Why does it smell so strongly of formaldehyde?"

"Besides teaching music, do you also do anatomy work on the side?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, so frightened that he took several steps back, his glasses almost falling off.

He glared at her, unable to believe that this school janitor dared to say such things in front of so many people; his gentle and refined mask gradually crumbled.

"young people."

Chen Qing gritted his teeth, and after he could no longer maintain his persona, he simply stopped pretending.

"In this school, meddlesome people don't last long."

"I will report this matter truthfully to the security department."

After saying that, Chen Qing didn't dare to stay a moment longer and turned away hastily.

Watching Chen Qing's retreating figure, Lin Yan snorted disdainfully.

"What kind of thing is this! Daring to use PUA tactics in front of me?"

He turned around and looked at Su Hong, who had been hiding behind him.

The girl was looking at him too.

She had never seen anyone dare to defy authority like this.

She had never seen anyone so determined and unhesitating as to stand in front of her.

He tore apart all the thoughts that weighed on her heart and made her almost suffocate.

"you……"

Su Hong's lips trembled slightly, and her eyes welled up with tears.

"Don't listen to that 'refined scoundrel's' nonsense."

Yo!

By sheer chance, the opportunity came along.

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Lin Yan naturally reached out and patted her shoulder, like comforting a kitten.

"You don't need to fit in, and you don't need to please anyone."

"If you don't want to laugh, then don't. If you don't want to deal with those jerks, just tell them to get lost."

Lin Yan believed his skills were as good as ever, and slowly he filled his senior's heart with sunshine, gradually dispelling all the gloom.

"You're not sick, and you haven't done anything wrong. Just be yourself, and that's perfectly fine."

Su Hong lowered her head, bit her lip, and tears streamed down her face.

This was the first and only word of affirmation she heard in this hellish school.

[Hidden System Notification: Su Hong (Afterimage)'s psychological defenses have collapsed! Her favorability rating has skyrocketed!]

Current favorability: 90

Lin Yan was somewhat surprised to hear the system's notification, and then sighed inwardly.

No wonder this senior student later became eccentric.

She hadn't even put in any effort yet, and she was already captivated.

That's true; in the deepest abyss of despair, whoever gives her the only light will become the absolute only one in her life.

Hold on tight, I will never let go, even if it means death.

"Alright, stop crying. If someone sees you crying, they'll think I'm bullying a female student."

Lin Yan took out a tissue and handed it over, intending to end the situation while keeping the senior hanging on.

But just as he was about to withdraw his hand, he noticed that Su Hong was holding a piece of paper in her hand.

"What is this?"

Lin Yan frowned slightly and snatched the note from her hand.

Let's take a look.

Come find me in the music room at midnight tonight.

I have a new piece of music I want to play for you.

If you don't come, I will truthfully report your situation to the school and have you expelled.

[—Teacher Chen]

Lin Yan instantly clenched the note in his hand.

Music classroom.

Twelve o'clock.

The time and place were exactly the same as the package he received in the real world last night!

The tragedy of history is about to repeat itself.

Teacher Chen is the real culprit in the skinning case!

However, he believes he has done his best and has indeed changed a lot of things.

According to the game's logic, this should be a happy ending, right?

Lin Yan casually stuffed the note into his pocket, as if nothing had happened.

Looking up at Su Hong again, I saw she was still wiping away tears.

"Don't go anywhere tonight, just stay in your dorm and sleep."

"If someone knocks on the door, don't open it, even if it kills you."

"Did you hear me?"

Lin Yan forcefully pressed down on Su Hong's shoulder, giving her very serious instructions.

This young lady shouldn't do something stupid, or she'll have come all this way for nothing.

However, Su Hong's reaction while he was holding her down was beyond Lin Yan's expectations.

She looked up; though her tears were still wet, she was no longer confused.

It was even... a little hot.

Lin Yan could vaguely feel a kind of sickly, sticky sensation clinging to her face, right where the woman was staring at her.

"Why...why are you helping me?"

Lin Yan was taken aback by the question.

This script isn't going in the right direction.

Normally, after being rescued by a hero, shouldn't one's heart flutter and shyly express gratitude?

Why is this like interrogating a criminal?

"I'm the dormitory supervisor; isn't protecting students my duty?"

Lin Yan decided to test the waters first, and gave a plausible reason.

"You're lying."

Su Hong directly exposed his true colors, as if she were a completely different person in front of Lin Yan.

At this moment, she was no longer the timid girl she once was, and she actually grabbed Lin Yan's hand that was on her shoulder.

"I've met all those people from the security department."

Su Hong leaned forward, bringing the two very close together. Lin Yan could feel her breath hitting his chin.

"You are different from them."

"When you stood in front of me just now, you weren't afraid of him or me."

A smile suddenly bloomed on Su Hong's face. To be honest, her senior sister looked quite pretty when she smiled.

"Do you...like me?"

"Cough cough cough!"

Lin Yan almost choked on his own saliva.

What kind of straight-ball technique is this?!

In Lin Yan's life as a playboy, he has encountered women who offered themselves to him and women who made suggestive advances.

But this was the first time he had ever seen someone skip the ambiguous stage so directly!

Her logic is that protection is equivalent to favoritism: if you protect me, you love me!

Looking at Su Hong's expectant face, Lin Yan felt alarm bells ringing in his mind.

Wait a moment.

No, no, no.

Could it be that Teacher Chen is actually the good guy?

Lin Yan thought about it calmly and concluded that it was probably impossible.

So, the senior student had this personality from before she died?

If she were to nod, this old lady would instantly transform into the ultimate love-struck fool.

From now on, if he dares to look at any other girl, Hongyue will probably appear immediately.
