It wasn't until the deal fell through that I discovered all the young ladies were yanderes.

Xiaoyu... I can't hold back any longer...

Then... don't even think about running away!

15. Irrational.

After Lin Qingmeng left, Su Yu continued to sit there eating. Lin Qingmeng had instructed that no one would usually approach this place, and it would be a waste not to eat the food, so Su Yu ate with a clear conscience.

His emotions were a bit complicated just now, but he quickly adjusted and stopped thinking about those meaningless worries.

He did feel guilty towards Lin Qingmeng just now, after all, she had really put her heart into him, and his words just now must have hurt her.

I just told her that I've fallen for someone else. That must be a devastating blow to an innocent young girl, right?

Actually, Su Yu was a bit irrational just now. There are indeed many ways to quickly get rid of Lin Qingmeng, and even if he wanted to cut the Gordian knot, he didn't have to use such a reason.

His reason was a complete gamble, a gamble that she liked him very, very much. Although Su Yu felt that Lin Qingmeng's feelings for him had indeed reached that point, however…

The human heart is forever unpredictable. In Su Yu's view, love is actually a kind of ambiguous and intoxicating relationship, and many irrational behaviors in love are also due to being intoxicated.

Su Yu doesn't get carried away, and even if he does, he's not completely carried away.

He was able to maintain absolute rationality in his view of the relationship, so he was always very clear that it was a transaction, and he completed it admirably.

The relationship made Lin Qingmeng feel sweet, and the breakup also made her completely sober. With this kind of understanding, she definitely won't be so impulsive in her next relationship, right?

That's enough; she got the money and she gained experience.

A perfect deal.

The problem arose at the final step of the breakup. She thought she had cheated on Lin Qingmeng. She's not doing anything to her now because she's still infatuated. What will happen after she calms down? Won't Lin Qingmeng just come after her directly?

The probability is very small, but it's not impossible.

When that time comes, Lin Qingmeng's family will probably just condone her behavior.

After all, he was just an ordinary person. Wasn't it a good deal to make their little princess happy with his own efforts?

Su Yu quickly shook her head. The probability was too small, so she shouldn't worry unnecessarily. She probably realized by now that what she said about liking someone else was a lie.

Su Yu suddenly froze at this thought, his hand that was eating stopped, and he suddenly realized what was happening.

Yes, since I know she'll realize it eventually, why should I hurt her? Even if I betrayed her feelings or took advantage of them, I don't deserve so much guilt.

Su Yu's ability to perceive emotions is very limited. Usually, when he feels that an emotion has reached its peak, he simply knows that he has this emotion, and that's all. It has no way of affecting him.

But what just happened...?

The guilt he felt earlier even affected his thinking ability, preventing him from calmly analyzing the overall situation for a moment.

He used to be able to consider everything when thinking about things, and he could connect all the dots. But just now...

Out of guilt, he subconsciously overlooked some necessary conditions for considering this matter...

When did this start...?

Su Yu thought for a long time but couldn't remember when his emotional perception had gone wrong, nor could he recall when he had started to become irrational. So he gave up trying to figure it out.

By not thinking about things that you can't answer, you can reduce a lot of troubles in life.

Su Yu felt that his emotional perception was fine; for him, the best state was to feel a limited range of emotions.

If you don't feel so many emotions, you won't have worries, and you won't have so many useless thoughts.

I am absolutely rational and absolutely calm right now.

That's good...

Su Yu's gentle smile vanished after Lin Qingmeng left. Now, his eyes were devoid of emotion, and the smile that had been lingering on his lips was replaced by a stern expression.

It's tiring to always pretend to be gentle. When others ask for your help, you have to think about your current persona and then act accordingly, which is very troublesome.

Moreover, it's ridiculous for a group of people standing on the shore to ask for help from someone who is already drowning.

But people don't like someone who always has a cold expression. A cold expression won't get you any benefits in this interpersonal society, and being unconventional isn't a cool thing in this era.

Pretending to be gentle, a person who is always smiling and gentle is very likable. In this top university, everyone around you has some connections. Even if they don't have family background, being a top student who graduates from this school is a testament to their own abilities.

It's never a bad thing to get to know these people better; on the contrary, there are many benefits. At least Su Yu has already gained a lot from them.

This was very profitable.

After finishing his meal, Su Yu sat there for a while and watched the night view. Then he stood up to leave, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly realized something.

Was that bottle of wine pretty expensive...?

Then Su Yu turned back, carrying the half-empty, expensive bottle of red wine, and left.

Su Yu went outside, and the not-so-gentle evening breeze instantly invigorated him. Many people were still strolling on the street, preparing to release their pent-up energy in the night.

Whether they were smiling or expressionless, they probably didn't know where they were going tonight.

There was no bus stop here, and Su Yu didn't want to take a taxi, so he decided to find a bus stop. For him, there wasn't much difference between a taxi and a bus.

Most people prefer taxis because they are more convenient, more comfortable, and less troublesome than buses. But for Su Yu…

Taxis are expensive, so I chose to take the bus…

Once on the bus, Su Yu found a secluded corner, sat down, held the half-empty bottle of red wine without a cork, put on her headphones, and looked at the scenery outside.

The music playing in the headphones wasn't really music. Most people listen to music to have some fun and make themselves happy, but Su Yu really couldn't feel any emotion in the music. At most, he could only marvel at how talented the person who wrote the melody was.

Su Yu's home wasn't far from here; it only took about 20 minutes to reach his destination. Su Yu got off the bus in what wasn't a high-end neighborhood.

This residential area is located next to a university, making it very convenient for students to go to and from school. It is the best place Su Yu could choose given her financial situation.

Other places are either too far from the school or too expensive. This place is just right, although some places are still not satisfactory.

Su Yu wasn't used to living in a dormitory because it would be troublesome to build relationships there. Regular gatherings alone would cost a lot of money, not to mention all the other miscellaneous expenses.

Su Yu didn't have any money, so he gave up. Renting a place outside and living at school wouldn't cost more than a few hundred yuan. It would be more convenient to stay outside, and he wouldn't have to spend unnecessary money.

Su Yu stood at the entrance of the residential area and sighed deeply.

There's another problem at home...

16 Another trading partner

Su Yu's apartment wasn't on a particularly high or low floor, only the third floor. After climbing up, Su Yu lay down on his side and listened to the sounds coming from inside the room. After hearing them, he sighed helplessly and then used his key to open the door.

The only girl who could make Su Yu, who was emotionally deprived, feel helpless was probably the one in the room.

Opening the door, Su Yu put on slippers. The living room was right inside the door, with a sofa in front of her, a coffee table and a TV in front of the sofa, and the bedroom further ahead. The kitchen was on her left and the balcony was on her right.

The lighting is excellent, and Su Yu is generally satisfied with the house; it's worth the price.

The moment Su Yu entered, a girl's voice, full of surprise, rang out: "Ah, you're finally back! I've been waiting for you for ages! What do you want to eat tonight?"

She had already turned on the TV, and it was showing a variety show that Su Yu found meaningless. As she spoke, there was a chewing sound, probably from potato chips.

She had one leg dangling off the sofa, her long, straight, snow-white leg encased in black stockings. She was only wearing hot pants, and the black stockings were only on her calves, revealing half of her snow-white thigh.

Her slender, beautiful legs were captivating, and her black-stockinged calves dangled in the air, swaying back and forth, making one want to pinch them.

Her smooth, clean little feet, enhanced by the black stockings, only made one's blood boil even more. The slippers were only half-dangling on her feet, swaying back and forth with her movements.

A normal person would have bowed in respect upon seeing this, but this was Su Yu. Su Yu frowned when he saw her wearing slippers like this.

"So can't you just wear your slippers properly? And why are you turning on my TV? Electricity is expensive. Can't you just use your own phone? It makes no difference."

The girl heard Su Yu blaming her as soon as she came in, and she seemed a little aggrieved. Although her tone sounded somewhat unhappy, her voice was still full of youthful energy.

"How much does a TV for a meeting cost? I'll just waive your electricity bill this month, okay? Humph, you cheapskate."

After saying that, she secretly put on her slippers. The slippers were pink with a fluffy little rabbit on them, making them look especially cute. Of course, such cute slippers were not bought by Su Yu.

These slippers cost tens of yuan more for just a few extra decorations, so Su Yu felt there was no need to buy them.

She brought these slippers herself; it seems she bought them here specifically to keep at home. Anyway, she left them here the third time she came.

As for her saying she doesn't have to pay her electricity bill anymore, that's not just empty talk. She is Su Yu's landlord, and the whole neighborhood belongs to her. She's a true landlady.

Su Yu casually placed the bottle of red wine he had brought on the dining table in the kitchen, then glanced helplessly at the girl sprawled on the sofa eating potato chips.

She was only wearing a white tank top, which was quite a generous amount of exposure. She was a little shorter than Su Yu, and her snow-white breasts could be seen with just a slight tilt of her head. Now that she was sprawled on the sofa, her breasts appeared even more magnificent.

He's reached a point of no return with Lin Qingmeng.

She finished her potato chips, yawned without any regard for her image, and then saw the red wine Su Yu had placed on the table. Her eyes lit up, and she skipped over to it.

She picked up the red wine that Su Yu had just placed on the table, smacked her lips, and said, "Tsk, this is good red wine. This bottle must be worth over 20 yuan. How come you brought it back so easily? Where did it come from?"

Su Yu didn't answer the question. He glanced at the girl standing in front of him. Although he felt nothing for her, this was the first time he had met her.

When I came across this girl, I couldn't help but admire her beauty.

She is indeed beautiful. Her bright, almond-shaped eyes always seem to tilt upwards, revealing her thoughts. The curve of her lips shows that she is in a good mood. Her classic oval face shape makes her pretty face even more delicate.

She and Lin Qingmeng are both beautiful, but their beauty is different. Lin Qingmeng's beauty is more alluring. Although she is still arrogant, she is beautiful in a way that makes people want to be close to her.

The girl in front of you is beautiful in a youthful and vibrant way, the kind of beauty that evokes first love. Her beauty makes you want to have a sweet romance with her.

The girl in front of him was not like that at school. She was actually quite famous at school, and strictly speaking, she was Su Yu's senior.

An Ningying, the student council president, is known as the "iceberg's first love face." An Ningying has a sweet appearance, but she always has a cold face at school, as if nothing can affect her emotions.

But her demeanor seemed to inexplicably pique the interest of those young men, as if conquering a cold, aloof woman brought them a great sense of accomplishment.

Su Yu didn't quite understand their emotions; one of the abilities he lacked was empathy.

Empathy from all sides.

However, those young masters all returned empty-handed, and it seemed there was no follow-up. Su Yu had never paid much attention to these things.

She and Su Yu were the two extremes at school. Su Yu was gentle to everyone, while she was indifferent to everyone. However, she was indeed very capable, so becoming the president of the student council was entirely due to her own abilities.

Of course, Su Yu shouldn't have met this kind of person at school, because Su Yu didn't have a good impression of the student council. He felt that going to such a place was a waste of effort and didn't bring any reward, so he never went.

The main reason was that there were just too many things to do in the student council, so Su Yu really didn't want to go. His emotional intelligence was limited, so it wasn't that he was afraid of trouble, but rather that it was unnecessary.

Instead of dealing with student council matters, Su Yu thought it better to learn more skills, so he didn't bother to learn about the student council.

However, he was the class monitor, and although being the class monitor is a thankless and demanding job, this position...

All I can say is that those who know, know.
