I'm not Yingjie

"Think about it first, bespectacled student." Lin smiled and stared at the bespectacled student who was shaking like a sieve.

Someone couldn't help but protest: "You are forcing me! This is too much!"

"Huh? This isn't coercion." Lin scratched his hair in confusion. "It's a threat."

The student with glasses rolled his eyes, unable to bear the pressure, and fainted on the spot.

……

"I really don't understand, Kevin, why did it fail? My plan was perfect."

"That's probably because... you never have a plan."

Kevin, who was eating fried noodles and bread, sighed: "Lin, why are you so angry today..."

"It just suddenly occurred to me, why does a perfect person like me not have a girlfriend? Logically, my girlfriends should be lined up from the classroom to the school gate, but why don't I have any?"

Lin held the cup of coffee and milk in both hands. He leaned over the railing and looked down at the groups of men and women who were flirting with each other during lunch time.

Kevin responded helplessly: "You are indeed very good, whether it is your appearance, cooking skills, grades, knowledge, talent, wealth... but have you ever thought about changing your personality?"

Lin frowned in dissatisfaction and said, "Isn't my character very good? I hate evil and I am sincere."

"No... Well, why don't you give it a try? Change to a quiet and aloof personality? I think a lot of girls would like you like that."

"No. I am who I am. Why do I have to become someone else?" Lin crushed the can in his hand and threw it into the trash can downstairs. "There will always be a good girl who will like me, right? No, a good girl should like me!"

Kevin no longer knew how to persuade his good friend. He had been like this ever since they met. He could be called arrogant, but he didn't seem to be exaggerating. A more appropriate description would be that he was overly ostentatious.

He expressed his inner thoughts too honestly, which made him stand out from other people.

"Let me ask you, what would you do if you really found it?" Kevin felt that he should stop Lin appropriately.

"..." However, this question made Lin silent.

"Could it be that you haven't thought about it?"

"..."

"So how do you find a girl who likes you?"

“Ask them one by one.”

"…Then you will only be rejected."

"Only the strong have the right to refuse!"

However, during their almost nonsensical conversation, neither of them noticed that on one of the floors of another teaching building in the distance, a person was holding a telescope, quietly spying on Lin who was standing on the roof.

Special Love and Girls

"Forget it. I don't want to start a harem."

"..."

Kevin glanced at the clock. Lin's harem dream lasted only nine hours, from nine in the morning to six in the afternoon when school was over.

What a short and fragile dream.

But Lin is such a half-hearted person, which is a good thing as it reduces the number of times he harms others.

"Think about it carefully. If all the good women like me, then wouldn't all the other good men be alone?" Lin Yanzhi declared confidently, "I'm not such a selfish person. Besides... don't you think this is unfair to girls?"

"...I'm surprised you realized the problem so quickly."

Kevin picked up his bag and complained, "Lin, girls are very possessive. If you really find a girlfriend, she will only want you to focus on her. She is the only one who belongs to you. The situation in TV dramas and novels where you can share the same lover with others is basically a fantasy."

"As expected of a man with a girlfriend, you have already created a thick barrier between us."

"Really?" Kevin covered his forehead. "Lin, don't blame me for not reminding you. Your personality is a disaster that most people cannot avoid, but for some people it may be..."

Kevin suddenly stopped, as if thinking about something.

"Huh? What?" Lin asked in confusion when he stopped talking abruptly.

"No, nothing... that shouldn't happen."

There probably isn't a girl who's obsessed with Lin to the point of wanting to do that kind of thing to him every day. Although only by getting in close contact with Lin can you find that his personality is actually not what he appears to be... but there probably isn't a girl who can see through his overly flamboyant personality.

Kevin smiled self-deprecatingly at his unnecessary worry.

……

Lin was walking alone on the way home. When he was alone, he would stop talking and think about something quietly.

He watched the fallen leaves get wet with mud and water and eventually wash into the sewer.

Sentimental?

He wasn't that sensitive. To be honest, those things that became his traumatic experiences happened so long ago that he almost forgot about them and they didn't have much impact on him.

But sometimes, after he separated from Kevin, he would still sincerely lament that he had too few close friends around him.

People in this society like to wear masks, whether good or bad. Often, all people can see is the mask on their face. Over time, everyone gets used to the mask that represents this person, even if... that is not the person's true face.

"Hey, why am I thinking so much! Anyone is fine, just come and tell me that you like me, I will accept anyone!"

Lin really couldn't stand his own wild thoughts.

I can't stand it anymore! Now I just want to bury my head in the chest of the pink-haired big sister! I don't want to think about anything else!

"Okay, I like you."

A voice like the sound of nature rang in my ears.

……

Lin sat there anxiously, glancing at the gray-haired girl beside him. He used to be very eloquent, but now it seemed as if his neck was being strangled, unable to utter a word.

Someone confessed to me.

Someone confessed to me on the street.

Although Lin would say that he should be liked by many girls, when a girl really said to him "I like you" without blushing or breathing heavily, he was a little at a loss.

Why do I feel like I am...strong on the outside but weak on the inside?

No, no, it's just the first time someone else has taken the lead.

But... who is she?

Lin couldn't remember when he had any contact with this girl. Judging from her school uniform, she was also a student of Qianyu Academy. However, Lin didn't have any impression of her. How could she say that she liked him?

"Ahem, can you tell me your name..." Lin wanted to slap himself as soon as he opened his mouth.

What is this? A cute romance among middle school students? I couldn't believe that such words would come out of my mouth.

"Prometheus." The gray-haired girl's voice was particularly spirited, but her expression was so dull that she didn't look like a human being, but more like a doll.

"Prometheus..." Lin searched his memory again, but still had no impression of this girl or her name.

It's strange. Such a cute girl, even if he doesn't know her, he should have some memory of her after having met her.

"I've been following you for a long time." Prometheus seemed to see Lin's confusion, and she continued, "It started when you beat up the PE teacher who sexually harassed you at the entrance ceremony."

"Eh?"

Starting so early?

"My sister, who also graduated from Qianyu Academy, was sexually harassed by the PE teacher for a long time. However, because the PE teacher had something on her, she could only endure it silently. It was not until after graduation that she quietly told me to be careful of the PE teacher."

"Oh~ So it's a way to repay a favor~" Upon hearing the whole story, Lin immediately returned to his own rhythm. He stared at Prometheus with a smirk: "Is this okay? We obviously don't have any actual contact~"

His laughter gradually became more wild, with a flavor of an ancient rapist.

"It's nothing. I made it up anyway." Prometheus said expressionlessly.

"Forehead……"

Lin's crazy expression disappeared in an instant, and he suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with this girl.

For example, from the moment they met, she stared at him intently. Even though she didn't reveal any emotion, Lin could sense something strange in her gaze.

"Do you need so many reasons to like someone? You have been doing things to attract attention since the beginning of your enrollment, and I am your audience." Prometheus smiled faintly, "You are my type, is that not okay?"

"And I can also allow you to have a harem. I won't bother you with other girls, and I don't even need you to promise anything."

"I just wanted to tell you this."

After Lin lowered his head in silence for a few seconds, he looked up at Prometheus in a daze.

Isn’t this ideal?

"Really?" Lin stared at every muscle on Prometheus' face.

Prometheus nodded without changing his expression: "Really."

"Huh... this..." Lin felt that happiness came too suddenly. Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. "Then... do you want to try holding hands first?"

"..."

But after hearing this, Prometheus shook his head indifferently.

"Forehead……"

It's indeed a bit too aggressive.

"I want to visit your house today, is that okay?" Prometheus asked.

"of course can."

Lin happily set off with Prometheus.

He didn't notice at all that Prometheus, who was walking behind him, showed when he looked at his back...

Special Girls and Love

"Have you ever heard the story of the Rain Child?"

The young man stood in front of the rain, the wind was howling, blowing his clothes, and the cold rain fell on his face.

"..."

The girl stood in the classroom, looking at his back shrouded in rain.

Who is he talking to?

Almost everyone in the school had left. She didn't bring an umbrella so she was waiting in the classroom for the rain to stop. The legendary troublemaker didn't seem to have brought an umbrella either. At this moment, he was standing less than a meter away from the rain curtain and whispering something.

His tone was very gentle, not at all as unbridled and outspoken as others said.

Is he, talking to her?

The sky was gray and the girl's mood was also low. Loneliness lingered around her, like her shadow, her breath, and her life.

Having been alone since childhood, she has developed a habit of not interacting with others. Perhaps she was afraid of being hurt, or perhaps she did it simply subconsciously.

But she could still feel the sadness brought by loneliness, as if she was separated from other people in the crowd by a distance that could never be reached.

On this lifeless rainy day, she felt even more terrified that she was the only one left in the world.

So after the boy spoke, she felt inexplicably relieved.

"Legend has it that in the beginning, only a single drop of rain fell from the sky, like a meteorite, bringing water and disaster, then returning to the sky, and the cycle began again."

"It doesn't think there is anything wrong with itself. It is born with the 'natural' nature of a drop of rain falling from the sky, then going back and falling again."

"But one day, it suddenly felt lonely, so it wanted to talk to the people on the ground. However, every time it fell, it would only cause disasters, and no one was willing to communicate with it."

"It divides itself into countless tiny raindrops so as not to hurt people."

“But after it falls gently, people are still unwilling to have any communication with it, because... it is just rain, and they are people. Rain and people are not born the same kind, so there is neither the need nor the possibility of communication.”

"It's just that the rain found that after it was divided into countless parts, it was no longer lonely, because there were still many rains similar to it. Why should it feel lonely because of people?"

It is a short story, like a fairy tale told to children. The tone is bland and the story does not have many ups and downs, which makes the listeners drowsy.

But the girl felt like something in her heart was opened.

"Hehe, I actually made up this story." The boy turned around and Yu Luo chuckled.

……

"Lin, have you ever heard of the balanced bomb?"
