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

Therefore, Yu tide's actions today can be basically understood as her being able to achieve her desired targets and operate indefinitely, even if she lies there motionless.

This kind of force majeure is unavoidable. The mistake made last time has been repeated by the senior student, which makes Su Che even more certain that he should not hand the thermos cup to anyone.

"Senior, let me preface this by saying that I went to the hospital a few days ago to see a urologist. The specialist told me that my health condition is not very optimistic."

Faced with the crisis, Su Che resorted to delaying tactics, "His point was that if I don't take control soon, what awaits me might be that renewable resources become non-renewable. That's not good for anyone..."

"Yes, I understand. Junior, so on important days, we only do the most important things, striving to get it right the first time, making a final decision without needing to do it a second time."

I'm feeling a bit hot right now, and emotionally prepared to discuss this important life event with you anytime. Look, the sun's already up; the timing is perfect, isn't it?

As the ancients said, "The plan for the day is made in the morning," meaning that important tasks for the day should be undertaken as early as possible in the morning. I've always admired the wisdom of the ancients, so I think you feel the same way, right?

Chapter 317 The Secret Room: Emptying One's Mind

When the gears wear down to their limit.

The harsh sound will be obstructed by the rust.

Su Che was probably in this state—

"Battle-damaged".

He was completely powerless against the senior student who possessed the power of a single cup of tea.

Staying up all night was a minor issue; the real problem was that his depleted energy meant he couldn't leave the house for the next 24 hours.

He already knew that Yu tide was not easy to fool, and it was almost impossible for him not to be taken advantage of on a date.

But he never expected that his senior sister had been suppressing her feelings to a certain extent and had probably planned the "stealing of tea and dew" operation long ago. If Director Wang found out about this combo attack, he would probably be in serious trouble.

“I told you to take care of your health and get some rest, but you went home and started taking drugs like crazy, even more so than before.”

Before the "Date Operation" project started, Su Che could swear on both hands that he was indeed quite "health-conscious"...

Now, the continuous exhaustion has led him to surrender directly, and he has announced that he will rest for two days before making any further decisions.

At this moment, he was lying in his study at home, with the door locked from the inside to prevent the head maid or the like from taking the opportunity to enter and seize another city.

"I'd heard that cats drain a person's energy, making them wither and lose their vitality, and I never thought it was true. It seems I really can't let go of my obsession and just retire... Whenever I want to do something worthwhile, it creates a conflict between me and keeping a cat."

Su Che has come to a complete understanding.

Cats are cute, which is great, but enjoying their cuteness comes at a price, and a very high one at that.

To be fair, all the cats in my house are very well-behaved and obedient. Apart from always being in heat, they don't have any serious flaws. But even so, when their numbers pile up to a certain level, I can't handle it. Without herbal tea, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Old Wang's herbal tea resolved a core conflict, preventing his physical health from suddenly collapsing and causing irreparable damage. However, if this continued, his time for serious work would still be squeezed, making it impossible to accomplish his grand plans.

This completely contradictory feeling made Su Che feel very uncomfortable.

He racked his brains, slumped in his chair, deep in thought—

Suddenly!

His eyes widened, revealing a look of terror.

"Could it be..."

"Could this step also be part of Father's pre-planned strategy?"

bang bang dong!

The moment the thought crossed his mind, he felt a chill run down his spine and a cold sweat run down his back.

"That's right. If Dad had known all along that I wanted to kill him, then as someone who's been through it all and as an incredibly cunning adult, he would have definitely thought of a countermeasure in advance and laid a trap around me."

"Upon closer reflection, wasn't Miya a scheme he had laid out over 10 years in advance?"

“He raised such an adorable kitten and then brought her to me. I couldn’t possibly not take care of the kitten, so some of my energy was diverted, and this was just one aspect of it.”

"My mother worked with him to place the blood-sucking Hua Leng and the hungry Bai Chu next to me, which increased my stress and made me more distracted."

Grandpa originally planned to use Ise as an example, but later he realized things weren't going well and withdrew Ise. So, Grandpa didn't have a significant impact on me; he was relatively neutral compared to my parents.

"So it seems that the cats in their camp alone already make up a good portion of them. The other cats might be ones I attracted myself, but I have no money, no talent, and no extraordinary abilities, so why would I attract them?"

Su Che narrowed his eyes, suddenly recalling the profound question he had asked them before—"What exactly do you like about me?"

When this question comes up, most cats avoid eye contact, blush, and dare not give the real answer.

Some of them sound obviously fake, like the short story: "Oh, oh, because I want to write a book with Su Che! I think you can give me a hand, and it's definitely not because you're handsome, really!"

For example, Gu Zhi once said, "Because I was learning the piano with you, I developed feelings for it as I learned. Then one day I accidentally bumped into you, and my skin felt nostalgic for that feeling, so I became addicted."

For example, Yuan Xiao said, "A-Che saved me when I was in my most difficult time, so I want to stick with A-Che for the rest of my life and never be separated from you again! Oh right, I don't have a landmine guy XP."

Even An Qing stammered—

"I...I'm a very loyal person. I have a strange feeling for the clients who keep contacting me, and I can't let go of them. So I was curious, really curious, about why you stopped contacting me...and then I...I came to see you...and then...and then I realized...Cheche is so handsome..."

"..."

Almost every cat can come up with similar false reasons.

Su Che didn't know how much of what they said was true and how much was false, but he could conclude that in the end, no matter what, they all seemed to be ultimately focused on looks...

In other words, I don't have any other outstanding qualities.

Apart from a beautiful appearance, the rest of him is negligible.

"Damn you, Dad, is this part of your plan too?"

Su Che hated it.

I hate that my good looks overshadow my childhood training, my talent, my ability to endure hardship, and my tenacity in the face of adversity.

Now, he had good reason to suspect that his father did it on purpose.

"My mom told me that he has many women around him, and they all became my godmothers."

"From this, we can see that my father must have had a very difficult life at my age. He was fully aware of how much his career would be affected by such an turbulent life."

"So he probably wanted to use these obstacles to test me, to see if I could handle them and manage my relationships with the women around me. That's probably what Grandpa meant too."

"At first, they probably wanted me to choose one of the three cats as my favorite, and to stay with it until the end, to become husband and wife. But now it seems that none of the cats I've fallen for have any intention of leaving..."

"Ultimately, whose fault is this?"

Su Che was confused.

Parents and grandparents have their own motivations, and Miya and Ise each have their own troubles. They are merely "pawns" of the adults and have no say in their future life decisions.

So, is the problem really with myself?

Damn DNA allows one person to replicate another's life trajectory, which is exactly the underlying logic that Su Che dislikes the most.

"Several dates made me realize my own stamina; it seems I simply can't handle such a big future."

“They all want to be happy, while I want to prove myself better than my father. But the reality is that if I want to prove that, I have to put a lot of energy into important things, and naturally I can’t bring them happiness.”

A paradox has emerged.

The conflict between time, energy, and emotions plunged Su Che into a profound philosophical question.

Choose love or career?

Or should one consider both and admit that he is not as good as his father?

Whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll still get stabbed.

Su Che was facing dead ends.

He sighed heavily, his thoughts stagnating.

Just then, a knock sounded on the door—

Thump thump thump, thump thump thump.

A cautious voice came from outside the door: "Senior brother, are you there? It's me... I wanted to come in and see you..."

"Oh... Fubuki..."

Originally, Su Che did not intend to let anyone into the house, but when he heard that it was Mikami Fubuki, considering the innocent relationship between the two, he suddenly felt that... she should be considered quite safe, and even if he let her in, there shouldn't be any major problems.

So he got up, unchained the door, and unlocked the smart lock as well.

Beep beep, click!

With a crisp sound, Mikami Fubuki's clean and lovely face appeared up close.

Through the crack in the door, she stood there delicately, dressed in a standard blue and white maid outfit, her head slightly bowed, and said:

"Senior brother...I...I drew number 6..."

"what."

"I know you're tired and might not have time to talk to me... But I don't mean anything by it. I'm just worried about you and wanted to see if you needed someone to keep you company and chat with... Ah, if you don't like it, I can just leave without bothering you."

Mikami Fubuki seemed very uneasy, fearing that her rash behavior would offend Su Che.

But luckily, she made the right bet.

Su Che was the kind of person who wouldn't maliciously drive away the cats; it was a weakness in his personality. In his eyes, the fact that the cats were taking up the time that originally belonged to her wasn't her fault.

Therefore, if it's just about coming over to talk, that's obviously acceptable.

"It's alright, come in."

Su Che opened the door a crack, stepped aside, and let her in.

The study is an extremely private space, with bookshelves, a tea table, a safe, a large bed, and an en-suite bathroom, allowing you to do whatever you want inside.

Fubuki Mikami felt overjoyed, as if she had obtained a pass, but she knew that simply entering the room was not enough to make everything alright.

"Senior brother..."

She walked to the bedside, sat on the edge of the bed, and asked, "I want to ask you, senior, are you still going to your classes from now on?"

This is a topic she is particularly concerned about.

"Teacher Ma's class?"
