They don't actually think I like them, do they?

"Yan Yuli looks so good in black stockings! I'm really tempted!"

"Being able to go to the same high school as the goddess Yuli is like using up all the luck I've ever had in my life, waaaaah!"

"I really want to be Yuri-san's dog!"

"You guys chat first, I'm going to the restroom..."

The classroom erupted in chaos as students stood up one after another, risking being caught using their phones by school leaders just to take photos and videos.

This is the first time Yan Yuli has ever worn black stockings!

She's like a two-dimensional black-stockinged upperclassman brought to life!!

Yan Yuli was very cooperative, maintaining a charming smile throughout.

Lin Han found a moment when no one was paying attention to him and quietly returned to his seat in the back row.

Then, he was met with Xu Hui, whose eyes were filled with rage and who seemed to want to devour him alive on the spot.

"When did you meet Yan Yuli behind my back?"

"Huh?" Lin Han was dumbfounded. "I'm not familiar with her!"

"Stop pretending! Would she wear the stockings you gave her if you didn't know her well? Damn it!!!"

"I really didn't! I'd be so sure, I'd kill my whole family if I lied!"

Xu Hui stopped Lin Han, his eyes filled with tears:

"Stop talking, bro. You didn't do anything wrong. It's all my fault for that disgustingly low and pathetic pride. When I saw her wearing the black stockings you gave me, I completely broke down. I was utterly defeated. The second I saw her smile at you, I broke out in a cold sweat and felt cold all over. My depression flared up instantly. Life seemed colorless. I felt like a tyrant caught by the tail, like Ultraman without light. I was completely cut off from all hope of living."

005. Yan Yuli's Invitation

The class was in an uproar.

"Holy crap, Yan Yuli actually came to our class?"

"My god, she's still wearing those black stockings! That's amazing!"

"Niu Niu is about to explode!"

"She's so beautiful..."

Although they were in the same school, Yan Yuli was in Class 10, which was full of children of high-ranking officials and nobles. In addition, she rarely left the classroom and even stayed in her seat. Therefore, most of her classmates rarely had the opportunity to see her.

Now, Yan Yuli has unexpectedly gone to the classroom door of Class 3, which has ignited everyone's curiosity and desire for gossip.

The students were even more excited when they learned that Yan Yuli had come to see Lin Han.

After all, in the dull, boring, and zombie-like senior year of high school, any gossip is enough to provide students with a week's worth of mental nourishment.

The fact that Yan Yuli wore the black stockings given to her by Lin Han had already led many people to suspect that Lin Han and Yan Yuli knew each other in private and that they must have a good relationship.

Now, Yan Yuli's visit almost confirms this!

"You little brat, how many things have you been hiding from me?!" Xu Hui, who sat at the same table, lost his temper and grabbed Lin Han's neck, shaking Lin Han's head violently.

Lin Han was completely bewildered; he was totally innocent!

If you had to describe his relationship with Yan Yuli, it was simply that he made her a real woman; there really wasn't anything more to it. So why did she suddenly come looking for him?

Could it be that the more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and he realized he'd been tricked, so he came back to settle the score?

In any case, Lin Han felt that it was definitely not a good thing!

The intense gazes from his classmates only strengthened Lin Han's resolve to never leave.

Lin Han easily broke free from Xu Hui's grasp, and Xu Hui immediately showed a surprised expression.

"Brother, don't worry, I don't know her well, I absolutely won't go out!" Lin Han said emotionally, holding Xu Hui's hand.

[A choice has been detected for the host. Three options are now provided for the host to choose from.]

Option 3: Go find Yan Yuli. Completion Reward: Luck +5, Collapse Index +2000

"Brother, don't worry, I don't know her well, I'll be right back!" Lin Han said emotionally, holding Xu Hui's hand.

Amidst Xu Hui's exceptionally gentle and refined blessings, Lin Han rose from his seat and left.

As Lin Han passed by Cen Sisi, she subconsciously took a small step to the side to give him room to get up.

Cen Sisi stared blankly as Lin Han walked towards Yan Yuli.

She stood there, like an ant, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her, whether it was the person in front of her or anything else.

The girl's mind completely stopped thinking.

Everything happening before her eyes was completely beyond her comprehension.

For a moment, Cen Sisi was somewhat dazed.

Is this still the same person who would run ten blocks to buy her ice cream?

Is this still the same person who used to take careful notes for her with different colored markers?

Why does it feel so unfamiliar?

Until last week, the two of them were perfectly fine.

That's Yan Yuli.

Superstar.

Why would they suddenly come looking for a nobody like Lin Han?

Could it be true, as they say, that the two of them knew each other a long time ago?

Cen Sisi suddenly felt an indescribable sense of loss.

Soon, this daze turned into anger.

Lin Han, you piece of shit! You ingrate, Lin Han!

Just a backup plan!

If you're so capable, then never come back to me!

Cen Sisi shouted in her heart, then turned around and went back to her seat.

Everyone around them was gossiping about Lin Han and Yan Yuli's relationship.

People's joys and sorrows are not shared; Cen Sisi only found their noise bothersome.

......

"Is there something you need, senior?"

Lin Han walked out of the corridor, leaned against the wall, crossed his arms, and looked very casual.

Lin Han felt a little strange having just given his senior a pair of black stockings and now standing face to face with her.

In fact, Lin Han had already figured it out during the distance he walked from his seat to here.

The fact that Yan Yuli would come to visit him so unexpectedly is likely an opportunity brought about by the "luck points" he had previously gained.

According to the laws of time travelers, before I even do anything, I might greatly increase the goddess's favorability.

Lin Han, who had just managed to break off his relationship with a woman, obviously wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.

Sure enough, seeing Lin Han's nonchalant demeanor, Yan Yuli's brows furrowed slightly, but quickly disappeared.

"Let's talk somewhere else."

Yan Yuli's voice is very pleasant to listen to, and without the microphone, it gives people a more refreshing feeling.

Is there anything I can't say here?

At this moment, there were quite a few onlookers both inside the classroom and in the corridor.

However, although there were quite a few onlookers, everyone kept a considerable distance, so their conversation was definitely not audible.

"It's okay, as long as you don't mind," Yan Yuli said softly.

This statement was quite effective, since Lin Han, who was focused on studying, didn't want to become the center of attention.

"Ok."

"I know a place."

The two walked upstairs until they were out of the crowd. They stood at a corner of the stairs and resumed their conversation.

"Lin Han, I think you're no ordinary person."

"I feel so too."

"I think you have a strong problem-solving ability."

"How did you tell?"

"......"

Yan Yuli suddenly stopped speaking. Seemingly completely unprepared for Lin Han's answer, her beautiful azure eyes momentarily lost in thought.

Lin Han was also puzzled, staring wide-eyed at Yan Yuli.

The two people stared at each other.

Soon, the school bell rang, and the self-study period began.

"If you don't tell me, I'm going back to class!"

"Don't!"

Yan Yuli subconsciously grabbed Lin Han's clothes, then immediately let go.

Seemingly after a struggle with her thoughts, Yan Yuli sighed, swallowed her words, and instead said:

"How about this, are you free after school? There's something I'd like to talk to you about."

Just then, the system interface unfolded in front of Lin Han once again.

[A choice has been detected for the host. Two options are now provided for the host to choose from.]

[Answer 1: "No problem, senior, I'll definitely be there on time!" Completion reward: All attributes +1]

[Answer 2: "Senior, what are you doing? Are you trying to woo me like this? Just because I gave you a pair of black stockings, you think you can be my girlfriend? That's too presumptuous! Although I was a little tempted for a moment, after calming down, I realize it's not a good idea!" Completion Reward: Random Skill Card *1]

006. Try writing a song.

In the past, when the system presented three options, it would deliberately try to entice Lin Han to choose a particular option by setting vastly different rewards.

This time, the two rewards given by the system were surprisingly "both very good".

This time, the initiative was completely in Lin Han's hands.

Then why bother choosing?

Lin Han chose answer two without hesitation.

When Lin Han read out the second answer at an extremely fast pace, Yan Yuli's expression stiffened visibly.

Clearly, such an answer was far beyond the girl's comprehension.

Yan Yuli was stunned.

Has this person... been friend-zoned?

ah? ? ? ?

She entered the entertainment industry at the age of five, and through years of hard work and experience, she learned a great deal about right and wrong in the adult world at a very young age, and considers herself to be mentally mature beyond her years...

I never imagined that someone like me would one day encounter things I simply couldn't understand in this small high school!

"Neuropathy!"

Yan Yuli blurted out something unusual, raising her hand as if she might leave a red mark on Lin Han's face at any moment.

However, the senior student let it go, seemingly convinced that the other person was not normal, and then turned and left.

All that remained for Lin Han was a silhouette of flowing hair and the pleasant scent of shampoo lingering in the air.

Lin Hanshuang was overjoyed.
