That is impossible.

Asada Shino never had any romantic feelings for him, not even for a single second.

Young girls in their prime certainly have dreams of love.

However, the kind of love she longed for was the beautiful and simple kind, a mutual attraction, not just one-sided affection.

"I really have something to do, please move aside. This is putting me in a very difficult position."

Asada Shino said.

Kyoji Shinkawa, however, showed no sign of moving aside. He continued to gaze intently at the girl before him. This shy girl seemed to be the only person he dared to approach, and she considered herself an extraordinary person, different from the ordinary people he was negotiating with. That's why he discovered Asada Shino, a rough gem. Only a pure girl like Asada Shino, a girl as white as jade, could enter the field of vision of someone like him.

Ultimately, he's just a narcissistic person.

Just as Asada Shino was in a dilemma, Spegel suddenly collapsed to the ground, and what she saw were those sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes.

Those were incredibly handsome eyes.

And that handsome face.

His face was sculpted, with distinct features and sharp angles, making him exceptionally handsome. He appeared carefree and unrestrained, but the shrewd glint in his eyes betrayed a hidden depth that commanded respect. He had thick, jet-black hair, and beneath his arched eyebrows were a pair of long, narrow, captivating eyes, brimming with amorous charm that could easily draw one in. His high, straight nose and full, red lips were now adorned with a dazzling smile.

At that moment, Shino Asada was almost completely stunned.

Her heart started racing instantly.

I've never felt this way before; it's a very strange feeling. Why does my heart race so much after seeing Lin Yan?

Is it because they're worried about the upcoming matches?

On the field, it remains to be seen how much of his strength Lin Yan will bring. Will he take this match seriously, or is he genuinely worried about it?

Otherwise, why would my heart be racing so fast?

"Who! Who hit me?"

Sberger stood up, somewhat angrily.

But their eyes met.

His body trembled violently, as if a little lamb had encountered a big bad wolf and been driven into a corner. Only then did the little lamb feel an unprecedented despair, a despair not of death, but a feeling far more terrifying than death itself.

Spegel swallowed hard.

A fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

My spine feels cold.

At this moment, Spegel managed a weak smile, and looking at Asada Shino, he said, "No matter what, I believe you can do it, Shino. Good luck."

"Ah."

Asada Shino forced a smile as she followed Lin Yan away into the distance, only calming down when she could no longer sense his presence.

"Thank you."

"nothing."

Lin Yan couldn't stand these kinds of things. These lewd men always thought that girls were just toys for them to play with at will, especially narcissistic people like Shinkawa Kyoji. Even without any hints, he would assume that girls were interested in him.

That's exactly how Shinkawa Kyoji felt about Asada Shino at that moment.

He thought Shino Asada was making him wait.

What an arrogant fool.

Asada Shino, a simple girl, doesn't have any romantic feelings for anyone; she's still a naive young girl. And how could a sleazy guy like Shinkawa Kyoji be worthy of such a pure and innocent girl?

"Anyway, thank you. If there's a chance, I'll treat you to a meal."

It slipped out without my noticing.

"The real world?"

Lin Yan also asked a question in return.

He hadn't expected Asada Shino to say such a thing. He knew Asada Shino quite well; she was reserved and closed off emotionally. Yet, at this moment, she had taken the initiative to invite Lin Yan.

"Great, I believe we have a chance."

Lin Yan instantly understood Asada Shino's thoughts; she was a little shy.

And I regretted it.

Regretting her abrupt words, Asada Shino realized that if Lin Yan hadn't continued, the situation would have undoubtedly made her feel awkward. Lin Yan was, in a way, a gentle person, considerate of such details—that's what makes him a true man.

Those chauvinistic men who only exploit women should really consider why they're single.

Those who kill their own sisters are even more despicable.

They should be sent to ancient times to become eunuchs, or just go and be gay.

Girls are not suitable for them.

They don't deserve it either.

"OK, all right."

Asada Shino said with a smile.

It's rare for her to show such a smile, let alone to a man.

Kyoji Shinkawa made Shino Asada feel disgusted.

Lin Yan, on the other hand, made her feel warm.

She will definitely do her best to eliminate all fear and anxiety and become a strong person. Asada Shino believes that this is her chance to change. And these miracles were brought to her by Lin Yan, which is the most precious thing.

"Thank you."

Asada Shino said in a low voice.

Lin Yan, however, acted as if he hadn't heard anything and didn't respond at all, which was actually the best response.

"What are your plans next?"

Asada Shino asked.

For some reason, Asada Shino felt exceptionally relaxed when she was with Lin Yan, as if all the humiliations and grievances she had suffered in the past had become vague memories, gradually being expelled from her body like toxins.

At least when she was with Lin Yan, Asada Shino was extremely relaxed.

It even gave Asada Shino a kind of illusion.

Lin Yan looked around. Although he hadn't logged into GGO many times, his exceptional memory allowed him to tell that this was the north side of the capital city "SBC Groken," or more precisely, a street near the Governor's Mansion Tower.

Neon lights flashed.

In bustling cities, every city is so similar, with endlessly flashing artificial lights. It's as if these lights are the soul of the city; without them, the city would become dim and lifeless.

But they forgot that what truly makes a city vibrant is not its lights.

It was moonlight.

sunlight.

It is the lush green plants, it is the people living in this city, it is the bright and cheerful eyes in their eyes, it is the hope in their eyes.

He glanced around; his field of vision was filled with commercially viable advertisements. He was right; it was a popular game. Just like real estate developers hyping up properties—every inch of land was precious, and that was money.

It's impossible; not even an inch of land will be spared.

From the ground to the sky, people went to great lengths. Strangely enough, however, there were no advertisements in SAO. Perhaps it was because that world was too beautiful, or perhaps Kayaba Akihiko didn't want to destroy it.

But in any case, it was a pure world.

Although that world has been destroyed, the days spent there have become a vivid memory. The time with Asuna, the time with Sachi... the time spent meeting everyone.

Maybe it's true.

Memories are always beautiful.

The most eye-catching advertisement in front of me is the "Barrett of Bullets" third annual competition finals ad. It's incredibly exaggerated, practically the most over-the-top advertisement of all. Not only is it enormous, but the lettering is also extremely prominent.

Everyone was full of enthusiasm.

Especially the players and the spectators. Everyone thought this tournament was unprecedented and spectacular. It was a grand event.

It is sacred and inviolable.

Lin Yan turned to look at Asada Shino, "Actually, we don't have any plans. We can just wander around a bit, since we still have some time."

"OK, all right."

Shino Asada did not refuse.

She had come to fully trust Lin Yan's character and integrity.

This is a trustworthy person, even though Asada Shino's trust in humans has been declining over the years. Yet, she still tries to trust the person in front of her, and even Asada Shino herself can't explain why she trusts someone so much.

It was probably because of his clear eyes.

It was probably because of a subtle movement at a certain moment.

Why is it?

Shino Asada didn't know either.

Can't tell.

It is inexplicable.

After walking around with Shino Asada, Lin Yan checked the time and said, "Let's go and complete the entry procedures for the tournament participants."

"okay."

Asada Shino smiled slightly and said.

As she smiled, Shino Asada clearly felt a burning gaze from afar. It wasn't just a perverted burning gaze, but also a chilling feeling. What could it be?

Without giving it much thought, Asada Shino followed Lin Yan toward the area where the tournament's entry procedures were being processed.

Quite a few people noticed Lin Yan at the registration site.

Asada Shino, who was with Lin Yan, also felt uncomfortable and kept hiding behind Lin Yan.

"I heard you're quite famous in GGO. What? Are you still not used to being watched or talked about? I thought you were already used to it."

Actually, Lin Yan said that on purpose. He knew very well that Asada Shino wouldn't be comfortable in such a situation. He was just trying to make Asada Shino less nervous. Moreover, Lin Yan felt that Asada Shino didn't need to change at all; as long as she was happy, that was enough.

There is no rule that defines what kind of personality is good and what kind of personality is bad.

It is precisely because people have different personalities.

That's what makes the world more interesting.

Like colors in full bloom.

A rainbow is made up of all sorts of colors.

"Yeah, still a little bit. Lin Yan, please stop making fun of me." Only when she was next to Lin Yan could Asada Shino say such a thing.

Otherwise, she would just lower her head and run away without saying a word, like a wronged little kitten running away with its tail between its legs.

However, Lin Yan truly didn't care. Whether it was the male players who speculated about him with all sorts of thoughts, or the very few female players who stared at him with admiration, Lin Yan was completely indifferent to their opinions.

They are them.

Lin Yan is Lin Yan.

No interference.

To put it another way—I won't offend others unless they offend me.

This is Lin Yan's principle: if anyone offends me, I will punish them no matter how far away they are.
