restless daily life

The voice of a white figure was broadcasting at midday; it seemed to be playing short stories today?

"Is today's story a science fiction sci-fi short story?"

“I suspect that Bai Ying is deliberately inciting us to leave the deserted island so that he can carry out his next plan—such as arresting people who are trying to smuggle themselves in under the pretext of violating school rules and making them write self-criticisms.”

"This is very much like Bai Ying."

"No, no, no, it should be that we catch people trying to illegally cross the border and make them take exams."

"Yes, this makes it even whiter."

Most students casually complained and speculated about the student council president's outrageous schemes, and the pronoun had been passed down by word of mouth as an adjective.

Some students, listening to the others' discussions, became even more sweaty.

'Damn! We've been exposed?'

"Calm down, don't panic! It's just a story Bai Ying made up! Anyone who undermines morale will be executed!"

There are exactly eight of us.

'Damn it! We've been exposed!'

Let's hear what the white-clad figure has to say first.

The moment they left the room, they were plunged into endless darkness, falling towards an unknown destination. Fear overwhelmed them; their struggles were futile, and screams tried to vent the terror of the fall...

A laugh echoed: Curiosity is the excuse for transgression, blind obedience is the beginning of a fall.

[The seven people who were falling suppressed their fear, and when they came to their senses, they realized that Y was not among the falling people. One of them shouted: Who are you? What happened?]

[The voice replied irrelevantly: The devil doesn't need to tempt; humans will speak on their own.]

[Devil? Temptation? Humanity? Speaking?]

A constant stream of doubts rose in their hearts, and the fear of falling into an abyss pressed on their nerves. In this immense terror, they were both panicked and perceptive, instinctively understanding what they had to do.

One voice after another spoke.

[T wakes up from his daze and finds himself and others in a small room, where a familiar voice is making an announcement over the loudspeaker.]

The door is welded shut, and there are no windows. Please stay inside for a sufficient amount of time and do not leave.

[T stood up and addressed the other confused people—]

Why should we go out? Because the door is right there.

The devil gives no hints, only explicit instructions.

After some secret discussion, the rebels went to the student council office to confront the student council president.

Their main strategy is to be ruthless: "We just left the deserted island without permission, so what? What are you going to do about it? Or make me write a self-criticism?"

Writing a self-criticism is no problem; I'll just go to the city and copy one and print it out.

"You don't want your classmates and friends to know that you left the deserted island to go have fun, do you?"

The devil smiled and said briefly.

Hey!

"They're all classmates and friends. Is it reasonable not to invite them when something good happens?" the devil said earnestly. "Everyone is bored on this deserted island and has no way to leave. You've found a way to leave, go to the city to have fun, charge your phone, and enjoy the convenience of the modern internet. Why don't you share this good thing with them? As the eldest brother, if you do this, will anyone still consider you a friend?"

What the hell!

The devil said, "That's all I have to say. Now go and get moving. Remember to be sneaky and avoid the hero's sight. Try to make mistakes so that the hero won't take it too seriously and stop you from doing so."

After some friendly exchanges, the rebel army transformed itself and set off again.

Having witnessed everything, Feng Bin and Hana were filled with questions, staring at Bai Ying with bewildered expressions.

The white figure grinned, "Hehehehehe—"

"Virtue!"

Feng Bin and Hua rolled their eyes and complained, "If you want everyone to be able to go to the city for tourism, just let them go. Why all the threats, espionage, and beating around the bush?"

“Because the process is very important. Seemingly identical results may just be accidental coincidences, and there will be another result,” Bai Ying said logically. “Truly skilled actors create the script and immerse themselves in it, giving themselves to the role and giving themselves to the role…”

Feng Bin and Hua kicked Bai Ying's shin: "Speak like a human."

Bai Ying glanced at Feng Bin and Hua: "Want a kiss?"

"?!"

Feng Bin and Hua paused for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at the gate—since it was afternoon and the area was on a hillside, there were no people walking around outside… Hmm? Do I need to care about being seen by others?

As they pondered this question, a warm, soft touch suddenly came from the corner of their mouths. Feng Bin and Hua turned their heads in a flash, their eyes met, and after a couple of seconds of stunned silence, they leaned back abruptly: "You...you...ambushed me!"

"I kissed your lips, and you turned around and struck a match. Who attacked whom?"

Bai Ying felt a little sticky on his lips. He licked them and said strangely, "Such a big reaction, are you putting lip balm on me? Hmm... a familiar orange scent?"

"Oh... Angelina recommended a lipstick to me and lent it to me for a bit." Feng Binhe and Hua subconsciously rubbed the lipstick that had been messed up on their lips. This sudden sneak attack made it seem like they both felt something and didn't feel anything at all.

She glanced instinctively at the door, then kicked the white figure: "You jerk, uh..."

Feng Bin and Hua pouted, their eyes widening slightly, their gazes flickering.

Bai Ying frowned, looking embarrassed: "I suddenly remembered, last time when I was sleeping, you used your mouth..."

Ugh!! Shut up!!!

*Smack!* Both hands gripped the white figure's head.

Bang! Feng Bin and Hua kissed each other.

"Ugh!" x2!

The two who bumped their teeth instinctively covered their mouths and leaned back.

Bai Ying covered her mouth and mumbled, "Look! Although the result is the same, the feelings and reactions are different because the process is different..."

I'm not listening! I'm not talking to you about this because it's important, I just wanted to talk to you!

Feng Bin and Hua Cai ignored Bai Ying's nonsense and continued to unleash a series of kicks.

Chapter Fifty-Five: Seeking Advice

A rumor is circulating on the deserted island.

Did you know? The student council president is a paper tiger. He looks intimidating, but he's actually weak. We don't need to follow any of his rules or engage in any shameful challenges with him. We can simply walk out of his sight and board the yacht with a clear conscience, and the driver will take us to the city.

Once I go to the city, the internet is back, and my phone has power, I'll be free!

What if the student council president, who is patrolling with his henchmen, accidentally discovers them?

Bai Ying: "..."

Yuigahama Yui: "..."

Several high school seniors who were discussing whether to hop on a yacht and sneak out to the city for fun: "..."

The air didn't suddenly become quiet. The white-clad figure, with his hands behind his back, casually asked, "What are you doing here?"

The high school seniors, feeling inexplicably guilty, immediately replied in unison.

"Let's look at the sea." "Let's find seashells." "Let's wander around."...

"Your lying skills are terrible."

Bai Ying pointed and explained in a professional tone: "Why are lies easily detected? Because people know they are lying. Do you know why bad people like to laugh? Because they know they are doing bad things, and in order to eliminate their anxiety, they will show a smile that symbolizes friendliness, positivity and happiness. This is both a subconscious behavior to cover up their guilt and an instinctive means to try to gain the trust of others and deceive them. People laugh when they are happy, and they also laugh when they do something they know is inappropriate."

"So when people borrow money, lie, or make mistakes, they unconsciously put on a smile."

Several students subconsciously suppressed their smiles.

"Besides that, it also depends on their personality. People who are usually introverted, quiet, and not good at socializing will actually look at the other person very intently when they lie..."

One student looked away.

"People who are good at socializing tend to have wandering eyes..."

A student forcefully turned his gaze back.

"Because when you lie, you subconsciously focus on the act of 'lying,' so you ignore the proper behavior. Just now, I asked you what you were doing, and you honestly answered what you were doing. Is that the reaction a human being should have? That's the reaction of someone with artificial intelligence."

students:"……"

"Your skill level is not good enough yet, you need to practice more."

Bai Ying patiently advised, "If you directly retorted with 'I'm just bored because the activities arranged by the student council are too boring,' you could not only distract me in a way that fits the situation, but also naturally change the subject. You should know that lying is not only about saying it, but also about deceiving it. There's a lot to learn about it. How to lie and how to see through lies are important skills for survival in society. You need to study them more."

"come on."

The student council president gave a positive evaluation of the students' independent activities, praising their spirit while accurately pointing out the shortcomings. He urged the individuals involved to strengthen their self-learning and management abilities, strive for further progress, and become outstanding students of Zongwu University, the elite talents needed by society.

Watching the white figure and Yui Yuigahama leave, the students waited for a moment until they completely disappeared from the path on the deserted island.

They looked at each other.

"...Should we still go?" one person asked, having second thoughts.

"Go away! Bai Ying might not even know what we're up to. And even if he did, so what? He didn't stop us!" the traitor encouraged his accomplice. "Not stopping us from going to the city isn't our problem, it's his!"

With someone taking the lead, the others who were wavering immediately made up their minds.

go with!

The group boarded the yacht and asked the yacht operator, who was watching a web series, for directions. The operator put away his phone and began to head towards the city with practiced ease.

My anxiety was instantly replaced by excitement. Sure enough! The student council president had no right to lock the students up on the deserted island. He just made everyone lock themselves up by talking!

This is clearly a blatant lie, a parody of the "teacher is calling you" story!

Click.

Bai Ying took pictures of several students leaving the island by boat, checked the clarity of the photos, and was very satisfied.

"...Xiao Bai, you're not planning to use the photos for something bad, are you?"

"for example?"

"Uh..." Yui Yuigahama thought for a moment, then mimicked him in a pale voice, "This classmate, you wouldn't want your parents to see photos of you skipping tutoring sessions, would you... or something like that?"

"good idea!"

Bai Ying gave a thumbs up: "I've adopted this suggestion. You'll be in charge of reforming the court."

Yui Yuigahama's eye twitched: "And what about you?"

Bai Ying: "I took the accountant's advice and had him carry it out. If something goes wrong, I can only admit with tears in my eyes that I misjudged him..."

Yuigahama Yui: “?”

Brakes! Brakes! We can't go along with what the newbie says, otherwise the conversation will just take a long, winding road!

Yui Yuigahama decisively moved the conversation forward: "Shiro, I have a friend who wants to ask you for advice on dating."

Bai Ying nodded and said, "I understand, that friend is not me."

"That friend isn't me, it's Yumiko..."

Huh? A misjudgment?

Yui Yuigahama paused for a moment.

"Is she here to ask how the plan is going?" Bai Ying asked, raising an eyebrow. "Or has something unexpected happened?"

Sure enough, Yumiko's sudden enthusiasm for learning and her deliberate attempts to bring up academic topics to encourage everyone who was idle to catch up on their studies were all the result of her collusion and cooperation with Shiro.

Yui Yuigahama understood, then hesitated, "Well... Hayama has been quite busy on the deserted island lately, often hanging out with other people. Yumiko is also busy with the tutoring plan Shiro gave her. Maybe she chatted with some senior high school students, so she seems a bit listless? I don't know how to put it..."

Bai Ying stroked her chin: "Because of her focus on other things and the physical distance between them, Her Majesty unconsciously created psychological distance between herself and others. She also happened to chat with some seniors about things after graduating from high school, which caused her to feel lost and weary, and lost that passion and excitement of 'wanting to be in a relationship'?"

"Roughly?" Yui Yuigahama wasn't sure. "Anyway, Yumiko asked me to ask you how things went, but I noticed she hasn't been in a good mood lately, so... Anyway, does Shiro have any special ideas?"

"This..."

Bai Ying glanced at Yui Yuigahama a few times and said in a deep voice, "Humans get used to things very easily."

"Habit?"

"Perhaps at first there is joy, hardship, pain, conflict, anger, confusion, despair, guilt, and so on. But as time goes by, people gradually get used to a certain way of getting along, a certain relationship, and a certain mood—even steel can tire, let alone the human heart?"

The white figure slowly paced back and forth, gazing at the distant woods, and said earnestly, "Always expressing affection but receiving no response, always keeping your joys and sorrows to yourself, always believing you should like someone, always playing a one-man show in your heart. The more you get used to it, the less you expect change, and the less you expect change, the more you will unknowingly fall into confusion, decadence, and negativity within your habits."
