At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

"Hmm. The fact that you keep asking whether the other person will remember you shows that you really want to be remembered by someone. But there's a high probability that you don't have a place in their memory."

When a relationship degenerates into one-sided affection, you need to consider whether all the thoughts and feelings you've had during this period of agonizing indecision have been a waste of time.

Bai Chu bluntly stated: "My personal habit is to block all couples and delete all so-called friends whose lives are already set in stone, because they no longer have any value in my social list."

This allows me to release my social media cache, which is like a system cleanup, making my mind feel lighter.

"How ruthless!"

"It's necessary to be kind to yourself and take care of your emotions. That's what the doctor said."

"..."

Clearly, Bai Chu had blocked everything on her list that might affect her mood.

Her condition appears to be more complex than it seems, and her behavior is entirely based on her own emotional management system, with strict standards for its release.

But I can't imitate her approach and simply forget about my senior.

Even though my senior is surrounded by a bunch of cats, I still can't... just selectively force myself to forget him.

As for lists or anything like that, I don't have any of my predecessors' lists, let alone see any footage of them living with other cats.

Ling Yao had no idea what Su Che's circle of friends was like.

But if you want to know, there is actually a way to find out.

That means asking Yuan Xiao to take a screenshot for me.

With Yuan Xiao's forthright and generous nature, this shouldn't be a problem.

"Thank you, Chuchu. I feel much better after hearing what you said."

It wasn't actually that good.

I just didn't want to disturb the other person's rest.

"It's okay. My advice is not to overthink it and to declutter appropriately."

Letting go of interpersonal relationships and unrequited love is also a form of decluttering. Get some rest. Goodnight.

Bai Chu ended the chat.

Ling Yao changed from a prone position to lying on her side.

She pressed her long hair under her arm, which hurt terribly.

She pouted in the blue light of the night, looked at the 3:30 digital clock, and still wasn't sleepy.

"Although Chuchu meant well, people are different, and I can't give up easily."

"Moreover, I don't want to stay in the same place forever."

"I need to get moving."

"It's okay that I missed today's opportunity. I should consider other opportunities."

The Tianhai Secret Manual "Clothing" states: "When a person is at a complete disadvantage in a relationship, the first thing to consider is not how to win in one step, but to put down the fantasy, accept reality, and then start by designing a plan step by step to create an encounter."

Unlike all other exercises, the main ideas of this article are "recognizing your own weakness", "being down-to-earth", "accumulating little by little", and "emphasizing execution".

Ling Yao doesn't have any inherent advantages, so seizing every small opportunity becomes especially important.

"Pay attention to details, start with the details, and see if there is a starting point."

She tossed and turned, deep in thought.

Recalling all the possibilities of intersecting with my seniors,

I don't know how long he pondered,

Suddenly, he frowned.

A strange idea came to mind—

“When I followed a senior in school, I noticed that he seemed to love drinking coffee. Every morning when he went to school, he would randomly have a cup of iced Americano or cold brew in his hand.”

“I would even go to a nearby coffee shop to sit for a while after school.”

"This means that he must be a heavy coffee lover who can't live without caffeine."

"And me... if I were to enter 'Regeneration'..."

"Will he one day walk into the 'Regeneration' shop and accidentally see my performance?"

"emm..."

Seemingly having grasped some key point, Ling Yao suddenly sat up as if he had risen from the dead.

"Etc., etc."

"He usually goes to 'Peter' coffee shops. He likes going there."

"But I've heard that since 'Regeneration' opened its new branch, it's been much more popular than Peter's Cafe, probably because it's cheaper, offers better value, and the beans are good too. They'll even be having live light music performances soon... um."

"There is."

Thinking of this, Ling Yao picked up her phone and sent a message to another person who might be a night owl.

It uses SMS as the form of communication.

"Dear Ms. Lin, I would like to inquire whether the store next to 'Peter' in the University Town is your flagship store or a branch?"

The person in charge, Ms. Lin, replied immediately: "Branch No. 2."

"Will I have the opportunity to perform there in the future?"

"Do you like it over there?"

"Well, it's probably closer to my home than the flagship store."

Ling Yao was just making things up.

After listening, Ms. Lin paused for several seconds before replying, "Sure, if you perform well, you can tour the store, or even have a small stage set up for you outside. The students in the nearby passageways will be able to see it."

"!!Very good!"

Upon seeing this, Ling Yao was overjoyed.

Ms. Lin, however, seemed to have been through it all, and suddenly asked, "What? Is there someone you're trying to put on an act for?"

"...!"

"Don't panic. Who hasn't been through this? Child, stay calm and don't rush to give away all your emotions in the most clumsy way."

She smiled and said, "The most precious thing in a relationship is that it has settled down and matured."

"precipitation……"

The two words, complex yet simple, seem to possess a weight as substantial as a physical entity.

Ling Yao stared blankly at those words, and suddenly...

I vaguely saw the main road.

"precipitation……"

"A deep-seated emotion."

"Yes."

"My emotions are very weak."

“My feelings haven’t been properly developed, so he can’t see them.”

"And I want to be worthy of the word 'deepening' in my emotions, so I... I should do something."

At that moment, the girl seemed to have been enlightened, as if something had been sparked by Ms. Lin's few words.

Deep down, a certain force was stirring within me.

"Aya."

"Yes, I'm here."

"Add me on Fetion, and I'll recommend someone to you."

"Okay okay."

Ling Yao snapped out of her daze and sent a friend request to Fei Silent in a matter of seconds.

Ms. Lin's Fetion ID is "Mu", and the background picture is a familiar-looking faded white bass, which is embedded in a humidity cabinet on the wall, and it is very artistic.

"! This is... a vintage white Aztec?"

Ling Yao squinted at the battle-damaged artifact, opened her mouth as if to say something but then stopped herself.

"Actually, I noticed this when I watched your performance before. Xiaoling, your level is pretty good, but you lack a very good teacher."

Ms. Lin's opening remarks were professional and insightful:

"Whether you're short of money to hire a teacher, or you can't find anyone in Tianhai worth learning from, what I want to say is that now that you've joined 'Regeneration Project,' your skill level represents a part of our store's promotional efforts. If you're not up to par, our store's reputation will decline, which will be detrimental to my business."

"what…"

"We signed a contract, so I won't replace you, don't worry."

However, I also have an obligation to ensure that you and your teammates achieve a comprehensive improvement in your skill level, so as to guarantee a satisfactory return on my investment.

"I don't need to worry about Chuchu's strength. Your teammate Yui is hiding her strength, and it's not at the level she shows on stage. I can see that, but I don't want to get involved for now."

You are the only one who is the weakest link among the three.

"..."

“If things continue like this, I’m afraid you’ll be at a disadvantage when you look for other teammates.”

So I have an improvement plan for you, and I wonder if you'd be willing to cooperate to make our cooperation more complete and solid.

She paused, waiting for the girl's reply.

How could the girl dare to utter a single word of dissent?

After all, Ms. Lin's words made perfect sense.

Put yourself in her shoes. As an investor, she not only understands so much about music, but she is likely a big shot herself, which is very respectable.

At this moment, they are extending an olive branch and offering assistance.
