Officially Designated Confession Day
Lin Yehuan knew this must have come from some other setting, and he touched his nose a little guiltily.
Lu Xingzhi took deep breaths repeatedly, trying to hide his fear. He noticed Lin Yehuan approaching and his mood gradually calmed down.
The cold air seeping from the elevator vents, combined with a lame joke, caused the two to unconsciously huddle together for warmth.
At exactly 2:30, the system finished telling its last lame joke and opened the elevator doors without warning.
Lu Xingzhi and Lin Yehuan exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Do you... want to go eat first?"
Lin Yehuan had lived a life where he would get up and be completely blind for more than 20 years. He didn't eat lunch today and even squatted against the wall for more than two hours, but he didn't feel anything at all.
It seems that fitness is very effective in improving health; the effect is immediate even after just one session.
The cafeteria closed for lunch an hour ago, and it will take more than two hours before dinner.
The two were starving, and slowly strolled toward the food street, where they happened to run into Xu Pengpeng and Shao Xi returning from the mall.
No longer caring about anything else, Lin Yehuan took the food, sat down on a roadside bench, and started eating.

Lin Yehuan reluctantly sat up straight, raised his pinky finger to put the hamburger in his mouth, and didn't forget to steal a glance at Lu Xingzhi to see if his posture was proper.
Lu Xingzhi stood tall and straight like a steel plate, and took the snack from Shao Xi's hand with embarrassment.
"Thanks."
"Don't be shy," Shao Xi said quite casually, finding a place to sit down and chatting with Lu Xingzhi.
Lin Yehuan found him agreeable for once.

Don't keep adding new rules without anyone noticing...
Lin Yehuan resignedly took a sip of milk tea. He'd already lost weight, so he might as well eat as much as he could while he was at it.
Xu Pengpeng sat on the other side of Lin Yehuan, chattering on and on about the gossip she had just heard.
Lin Yehuan was so shocked that his mouth dropped open, but he quickly recovered and maintained his composure.
The phone popped up with a message notification at an inopportune moment, pulling Lin Yehuan back to reality.
"Ye Huan, are you free at four o'clock this afternoon? I'd like to ask you for a favor."
Is this mission never going to end?!
After she was asked a question in class, many people noticed her, and at noon her contact list suddenly received more than a hundred friend requests.
The people involved in the mission were automatically marked by the system.
For example, the person sending the message now is Xie Zhi (Level A).
Lin Yehuan looked at the system's pop-up message to accept the task and had no choice but to reply, "I have time. What's up?"
The student council was the place Lin Yehuan feared most.
She had once helped a friend submit some documents, and ever since then, she has avoided even routes that pass through the shadow of this building.
Lin Yehuan and Xie Zhi arranged to meet at the entrance of the student council.
Xie Zhi only said that she had something to do and that she would let her know if she succeeded. Lin Yehuan didn't ask any more questions and waited for her to finish explaining before turning around and going into the house to take over her shift.
The publicity department is well-lit, and the walls are covered with various honorary certificates, posters, and banners made by the staff for organizing activities.
She was all alone in the room; it wasn't as crowded as other departments she remembered, nor did it have the suffocating atmosphere of other departments.
Lin Yehuan walked around the room twice. The furnishings inside were all in highly saturated colors. Although it was very quiet, it made people feel full of energy as soon as they entered, even a little too lively.
Lin Yehuan read through all the works. Xie Zhi had only been in the industry for half a year, but she was always credited at every event. What was even more amazing was that she could single-handedly organize events that were so boring that no one wanted to hold them, and judging from the data, the results were quite good.
Especially the poster with the mythology theme, although it was hung in the corner, the color scheme was bold and dynamic, which complemented the theme perfectly. The rules arranged by Xie Zhi were also novel and interesting, and it had the largest number of participants in the whole school.
Looking at the composition, Lin Yehuan exaggeratedly recited all the best words.
I couldn't help but think of the "artworks" at Gu Ye's previous art exhibition and his extremely rough sketches. I shook my head helplessly. There's no harm without comparison. When he comes back, he should be sent to the publicity department for some training.
As the sun sets and dusk falls, Xie Zhi, encouraged by the crowd, makes a premature confession, hurriedly handing out flowers and candles that haven't been lit yet.
Lin Yehuan had just sat down when he came across a video that had gone viral on the forum two minutes earlier.
Clearly, Xie Zhi had planned her confession very successfully.
Below are many similar posts, all saying things like "I was confessed to by the person I like today..." or "I was proposed to today!"
"Does it have to be today?" Lin Yehuan opened the comments section and belatedly realized that today was Valentine's Day, an officially designated day for confessions of love in a certain sense.
No wonder they insisted on finding her.
In this world where romance is the goal, everyone except her must have gone on dates.
"Sigh~" Lin Yehuan sighed deeply, and suddenly the pile of junk in the corner in front of him moved.
First of all, this is the north, so there are no oversized rats or cockroaches.
Secondly… Lin Yehuan paused for a moment, and then she saw the name tag above the person's head…
Chen Mo emerged from the pile of clutter, his hair disheveled, looking somewhat dazed.
Young man, are you also troubled by love?
"My goddess said yes!" Chen Mowu walked up to her, "Woohoo~ Hehe, haha, yay yay yay~"
Seeking a tutorial that reflects the person's name.
Lin Yehuan had a headache from his noise, so why hadn't she noticed someone in the corner after wandering around for so long?
"Thank you," Chen Mo suddenly began to express his feelings of being loved, "I was originally planning to give up, but after hearing you praise the composition of the poster on the far right, I became more determined to confess my feelings."
Haha, what a clever mistake turned out to be a success. Lin Yehuan listened to him continue with a slight smile, not daring to interrupt, for fear that he might make things worse in the next second.
"In my heart, my goddess is the supreme being," Chen Mo was completely immersed in his own world, utterly oblivious to the reaction of the person opposite him, "I never expected that she would actually show me mercy..."
"Ah~ Goddess, I am willing, I am willing to give everything for you, even my life."
How awkward! Lin Yehuan got goosebumps from Chen Mo's sudden acting spree.
"You must have been sent by heaven to help me, right..."
No, it's the school system.
"God, you have finally heard my call..."
That's right, the academic affairs staff heard it all.
Chen Mo gesticulated wildly as he recounted his story, tears streaming down his face.
Lin Yehuan silently accepted the system's rewards. In just two days, she had actually met three new people, something that would only happen in real life when a relative had triplets.
After updating her WeChat Moments, Xie Zhi invited her to dinner as a thank you.
Lin Yehuan politely declined the position of "third wheel" and ate the healthiest steamed buns and porridge in the cafeteria before heading to the lab again.
It's not that she doesn't want to rest.
The system displays a notification every ten minutes: [This week's experimental progress has not yet met the target. Please address this promptly.]
No one can stand being pushed like that, so it's better to finish it sooner and be free.
Lu Xingzhi is like an NPC that is constantly refreshed in an elevator.
The two took the elevator upstairs together, but to avoid awkwardness, they took the stairs downstairs together.
Their teamwork is at a rate of 1000%.
Lin Yehuan found it very unreasonable that the hidden achievement was not triggered.
The laboratory building was unusually empty today. Even the cats that usually mooch food and drinks in the hallways were quietly lying on the wooden boxes of the instruments.
At 10 p.m., the crowds in the park and playground dispersed, and the world returned to tranquility.
A light drizzle was falling outside, and the two stood under the covered walkway waiting for the rain to stop.
Lu Xingzhi just stared blankly at it.
"Don't tell me that it never even rained in City A before," Lin Yehuan thought to himself, looking at the melancholy young man beside him.

The system promptly popped up a notification: Lu Xingzhi and his mother were trapped in an elevator due to a rainstorm, but when the rescue arrived, only he was left out.
Lin Yehuan's two-pixel-sized smile vanished instantly.
She swore that she only wrote down the feeling of vulnerability, but who would have thought that the evil system would fill in the story like this for that stupid logic? No wonder He Shuqin's information panel only has her name and age.
"It's not her fault," Lin Yehuan thought. "It's all fake."
But in the end, it still has something to do with her. As a result, there is now a "dummy" standing next to her, experiencing the suffering she unintentionally created.
Lin Yehuan was torn between his own thoughts and didn't know how to begin.
"The rain has stopped, let's go quickly," Lu Xingzhi said first.
The dormitory is a bit far from here, but in order to maintain their image, the two can only walk there in a romantic way.
Halfway there, a torrential downpour began, as if trying to nail people into the road.
Lin Yehuan initially let the rain fall casually, but later he couldn't take it anymore and had to cover his head with his sleeves, his hands aching from the rain.
Lu Xingzhi took off his trench coat first and put it over his head. The two of them stumbled and rushed into the nearest pavilion to take shelter from the rain.
The rain was getting heavier and showed no sign of stopping. Several cats were taking shelter under the table, but their fur was still soaked by the wind.
Lu Xingzhi straightened his trench coat, managing to make it into a small nest shape.
Lin Yehuan took off his hair tie and bracelet to secure them.
Neither of them spoke, and they tacitly created a temporary haven for the kittens.
The pendant hanging from the bracelet was being played with by the kitten as a cat toy.
Faced with the fierce winds and torrential rain outside, this makeshift shelter probably wouldn't last more than five minutes.
The bracelet's pendant is shaped like a small fish, and several kittens are vying to catch it.
"They're fake," Lin Yehuan laughed, watching them snatch at each other. "They're all fake."
The sudden clap of thunder startled the kitten back into the trench coat, where it huddled together.
“Yes,” Lu Xingzhi looked at her, “it will be fine once the rain stops.”
When will the rain finally stop? Lin Yehuan stared blankly at the ripples on the lake.
The answer is immediately, because the next second it turned into hail.
The two were once again forced to spend the night in the pavilion.
The water on the bench couldn't be wiped clean, and standing there made your legs ache.
Lu Xingzhi was so cold he was practically tap dancing before he finally managed to huddle inside the half of the coat Lin Yehuan handed him.
The height difference stretched their clothes to their maximum. The two of them didn't care whether the ground was wet or not. They wiped themselves off and sat on the edge of the pavilion, blocking the cat's bed, skipping the hailstones that were thrown in.
"Wow, this is great!" Lin Yehuan thought to himself, feeling a bit driven crazy by the extreme weather.
