The title of "school heartthrob," the perfect male lead's standard.
The campus beauty and hunk contest, which was originally something no one cared about in reality, broke through the encirclement of a series of shocking events, such as a fire at a courier station, a price increase in drinking water, a power outage in the dormitory, food delivery disappearing, a window of a delicious canteen collapsing, someone not flushing the toilet on a certain floor of a dormitory, washing shoes in the washing machine, reserving seats in the library, and dating in the study room, and became known to everyone.
[The title of "campus heartthrob" is a standard requirement for the perfect lover; please adhere to societal standards.]
Okay, if you say it's a good match, then it's a good match.
Lin Yehuan had just recovered from the surreal life of six days a week with 8 am and four days a week with full classes when Yi Jie dragged him to the final selection competition held by the dating club.
The question of who the most handsome guy at University A is really is debatable.
But shouldn't the most beautiful girl at University A be Shi Nan? She generates a lot of discussion every year; she's definitely got the looks.
"Ye Huan, who are you voting for?" Yi Jie walked along, stopping frequently to compare the photos on the posters one by one. "This is so hard to choose."
Lin Yehuan took a deep breath and tried to appear interested, pointing in the direction where Yi Jie's gaze lingered. "This one is so beautiful, and this one is so beautiful too! Oh, what should I do? I want to choose them all! Can you divide my votes into eight parts?"
"You understand me so well, I simply can't choose."
"Xiao Lin?" A clear male voice cut through the bustling crowd and came to him.
Lin Yehuan quickly withdrew his feigned troubled expression. "Senior, what a coincidence."
"You're here for the event too?"
"I'll just join in the fun with my classmate." Lin Yehuan waved the ballot in his hand. "It's really putting us voters in a difficult position if you don't participate in the selection."
Yu Heng was used to her teasing and always responded in the same way she spoke, "It's a pity you weren't there when I participated, so no one appreciated me and I didn't want to participate again."
Lin Yehuan recognized it immediately. It was her post-debate masterpiece, written after the only debate she lost in high school. It had been rewritten on the high school forum as a "divine sentence" applicable to various situations: "What, are you also troubled by having too many people pursuing you?"
"It's less about pursuing something and more like..."
"Hello, senior," Yu Heng was interrupted by Yi Jie before he could finish speaking. "Senior, are you also from the School of Life Sciences? It's such a pity that you're not participating in the selection."
As expected of a pre-programmed system, Yi Jie's words were so precise that no one had a chance to escape, Lin Yehuan thought to himself.
Yu Heng gave an official smile, then subtly gave Lin Yehuan a look that said, "That's the kind of trouble I'm having." Seeing that things weren't going in the right direction, a familiar sense of fear welled up inside him, and he quickly said goodbye to them.
"Believe me, the girl's fate will only be worse." The message was sent quite quickly before the person had even taken two steps out.
Lin Yehuan responded with a gloating emoji to show his sympathy.
"Was that your classmate just now? You're actually studying engineering?"
"I enrolled in it as a tutoring class," Lin Yehuan replied casually.
Yu Heng's understanding of Lin Yehuan was once again refreshed, but this was very much in line with her personality. She just joked, "If you can't continue studying, you're welcome to come find me at the law school."
Lin Yehuan replied to the message and casually threw the ticket into the trash can next to the stall.
[Please do not discard important items.]
Lin Yehuan was startled and then realized that the system had popped up a task at some point.
Of course, Lu Xingzhi is currently far ahead in votes, so losing one vote won't matter.
The system ruthlessly rejected her argument.
"What's the point of this task of choosing the school's most handsome guy from a bunch of human-machines?!" Lin Yehuan roared, his face contorted as he tried to get the votes in a respectable way.
Lu Xingzhi felt that the way she looked at him was a bit complicated today.
Lin Yehuan would often make eye contact with him unintentionally, sigh, shake his head, and continue writing his problems.
After two weeks of classes, Lin Yehuan figured out the secret to passing the exam smoothly by combining arts and sciences: one word: memorization.
Memorize the formulas, memorize the definitions, and memorize all the homework questions. This will at least guarantee that you won't fail most of your courses.
In addition, she has a unique secret – the ability to stop walking.
According to the system's few useful rules, countless times, as long as you learn face-to-face with him, it's as if time stands still and the world becomes quiet. Apart from the occasional pink bubbles popping up from the system and Korean drama OSTs, everything is quite satisfactory.
Lin Yehuan gave the immersive learning aid machine a special nickname: Perfect.
At this moment, her perfect classmate sitting opposite her silently turned off her phone and threw it into her bag.
It seems the results have been announced.
Lin Yehuan studied intently for four hours, finally managing to pull his mind away from the technical terms and formulas.
I haven't seen Shao Xi for several days. The last time I saw him was on the poster for the competition. I wonder if he's been up to anything these past few days.
This barrage of information that both Lu Xingzhi and Yu Heng found unbearable must have suited his tastes perfectly.
"Have you been studying for too long? Do you want to go get something to eat first?" Lu Xingzhi saw her staring blankly with her face propped up on her hand, so he pulled out a note and handed it to her.
Lin Yehuan shook his head, thinking to himself, "I'm a D-level figure now, at least. Going out with you now would just be asking for trouble."
Xu Pengpeng's news always came so promptly.
Lin Yehuan raised his phone to him, showing a regretful expression, indicating that he already had plans.
Lu Xingzhi, with an air of "I understand," made arrangements with her for the next day and left fully prepared.
If wish fulfillment is a skill, Lin Yehuan would prefer it to be found in the lottery.
Less than two minutes after sitting with Xu Pengpeng, Lin Yehuan caught sight of two familiar figures out of the corner of his eye.
Pushing and shoving, the dog acting suspiciously—it was obvious it wasn't up to any good ideas.
Shao Xi had clearly done her homework, carrying two cups of their favorite milk tea: "Thank you for your help last time."
What happened? I didn't know anything about it.
Lin Yehuan felt that there must be some kind of shielding device implanted in his eyes, which always allowed him to precisely bypass him and head straight for Xu Pengpeng.
Xu Pengpeng didn't stand on ceremony and took the milk tea. "You're welcome. Did you find the USB drive?"
Shao Xi shrugged. "No, it's just that my backups weren't comprehensive enough. I'll remember this next time."
hehe.
Shao Xi was known for his meticulousness in everything he did, including but not limited to making three copies of his daily attendance sheet.
"Why don't we look online?" Lin Yehuan said with amusement, telling a corny joke from elementary school. "After all, you can find anything on the internet."
[Gained the title "Atmosphere Destroyer"]
[The user has been banned.]
Even the sound was blocked, so Lin Yehuan could only watch helplessly.
After chatting for a while, Shao Xi turned away gracefully, without taking any punishment with him.
Being a mime artist might not be a bad choice, after all, Lin Yehuan's biggest change over the years is the richness of his facial expressions.
"Shall we go for a walk in the park tonight?" Based on her experience over the past few days, Xu Pengpeng could tell what state Lin Yehuan was in just by looking at her eyes, so she immediately switched to chatting on her phone.
Lin Yehuan's character profile rarely mentions his family, so the system assumes he spends all holidays at school, and today happens to be the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Located in the heart of the city where land is incredibly valuable, A University offers basic accommodations, but it spares no expense in building its park. The layout was personally designed by Professor Ling from the School of Landscape Architecture, featuring plants and trees commonly found in northern China, yet creating a harmonious and exquisite overall effect.
Besides the famous cat kings who frequent this place year-round, the most famous spot is Lagoon Lake. On sunny nights, people stop here to tease the cat kings and record the few streaks of light cast by the bright moon.
There are just an unusually large number of people today.
Lin Yehuan, who had gone back specifically to get cat treats and cat food, was isolated by the swarming crowd.
Without a doubt, the center of the crowd was the preserved egg, and also Lu Xingzhi.
More and more people gathered on the outer edge, completely obscuring the dim streetlights with their shadows. The middle area was a chaotic mess, and Lu Xingzhi took advantage of the chaos to slip out.
Lake Lagoon was some distance away, and the three of them quietly circled around it, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
The path was only wide enough for two people to stand side by side. The three of them stood in a neat row, turned to face the lake, and sat down on the bench.
The scene exudes an eerie sense of harmony and order, like the aftereffects of military training.
The moonlight gently spread across the lake, rippling with the waves. Lin Yehuan had finally calmed himself down, but as soon as he focused the camera, the path behind him was already blocked.
What was supposed to be a relaxing getaway with friends inexplicably turned into a large-scale team-building walk around the lake. Lin Yehuan and Xu Pengpeng exchanged a tired look.
Sensing the resentment behind him, Lu Xingzhi's breathing became more and more rapid as he pondered whether it was the fifteenth of August or the fifteenth of July.
So much so that when someone grabbed his cuff from behind, Lu Xingzhi almost jumped into the lake.
"Don't be afraid, it's me."
Lu Xingzhi gently grasped her sleeve without saying a word.
"Keep moving forward and hide behind the sculpture." Lin Yehuan tried to keep his voice soft and calm.
Lu Xingzhi slowed his pace, as if to determine if it was feasible.
"Believe me."
No sooner had the two left than someone else stepped up from the bushes on the other side to take their place.
Shao Xi reluctantly put on a hat to cover what he considered to be his perfect hairstyle.
Lin Yehuan then realized that, looking around the crowd, everyone had a "C" above their head.
"This task is being handled like a death knell," Lin Yehuan muttered to herself, but she wasn't prepared for it; the pace was too fast for anyone.
"Let's go around two more times."
"This is a task assigned to you by the organization."
Xu Pengpeng received Lin Yehuan's message and relayed it to Shao Xi.
Without hesitation, Shao Xi gave an OK sign and continued to lead the race walking team.
"Meow"
Lin Yehuan was observing the situation outside when Pidan suddenly snuggled into his arms, startling him.
Before I could even tear the cat treats apart, they turned into a giant cat tree.
"You feed them." Lin Yehuan was too busy to help, so he handed over the cat treats and cat food.
Lu Xingzhi, also bearing the weight of the large orange, trembled as he maintained his balance, his fingertips gently brushing against her fingertips.
[Unlocked storyline: "Love is a hand that wants to touch but then pulls back," a total of 172 people have escaped.]
...Lin Yehuan was utterly speechless at the system's definition of physical contact.
You should have said earlier that even fingernails count! Also, the copywriting this time is surprisingly normal. Is it because I didn't write it well?
Lin Yehuan peeked out and saw Shao Xi unable to hold on any longer. He pulled Xu Pengpeng through the bushes and rode away on a bicycle. The people who were chasing after them also left as the system task was completed, and a group of NPCs pushing suitcases took their place.
As expected, this is unreliable, Lin Yehuan thought to himself. Helpless, he could only send a message to Xu Pengpeng, telling them to be careful of speed bumps.
The rustling footsteps completely disappeared, and Lu Xingzhi leaned out to look. "Where did they go?"
"Everyone's home by now," Lin Yehuan said casually, since sometimes the most outrageous things are the most believable. "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"That's true." The sound of suitcase wheels rolling came from all around. Lu Xingzhi was tired and didn't want to think about it anymore.
"Alright, why are you still looking so sullen?" As soon as the voice came out, all the cats around ran away. "How about I sign you up for a modeling competition?"
After leaving those pickup trucks, Lin Yehuan felt much lighter. He looked up and saw the person opposite trying to stop Pidan, but was startled by his breath.
"Hey, why am I so disliked?"
Lin Yehuan rarely used the phrase "dressed in a variety of ways" to describe someone. He wore a washed and distressed denim jacket, a crookedly knitted sweater underneath, silk pajama bottoms, and old Beijing cloth shoes.
What is all this nonsense?
The system, however, was surprisingly excited; its calm, mechanical voice even trembled slightly: [New character unlocked: Gu Ye]
[Male protagonist's identity completeness +5]
