On the way to Xia Mu Zhu's house, Lin Yu couldn't help but light a cigarette to soothe his irritation, taking a deep puff. The wisps of smoke entered his lungs, carrying away the heavy frustration in his heart as he exhaled forcefully. The irritability in his body was slightly eased, but the melancholy in his heart did not diminish.
Lin Yu found a bench to sit on, and the innocent face of Tang Mantou, worthy of the title of school beauty, couldn't help but appear in his mind. She... she really is a nice girl. She's beautiful, gentle, considerate, pure, kind, and academically excellent. If it were in any other youthful school manga, she would surely be the school's goddess, the object of the protagonist's lifelong pursuit.
It's just her bad luck to live in this erotic manga world. With this thought, Lin Yu took another puff of his cigarette for the unfortunate fate of this poor child, Tang Mantou.
Exhaling the smoke slowly, Lin Yu stared at the bustling street in a daze.
Actually.
It seems.
If.
Just.
If he didn't avoid Tang Mantou so much, didn't treat her as an untouchable horror monster, there wouldn't be any problem, right?
She doesn't have a boyfriend, and the break with the boy she was once paired with has nothing to do with him. To put it bluntly, she is now just an ordinary single girl.
Why shouldn't he pursue her?
Why can't he be her boyfriend?
And judging by her attitude towards him now, it should be quite easy for him to pursue her.
Like a stray puppy that is often fed, he just needs to beckon her, and she will come trotting over. Then he can pet her head, comb her hair, and she will probably follow him home without any complaints.
But...
Is this really okay?
Recalling the final page of the erotic manga that made his scalp numb, Lin Yu rubbed his temples in a headache.
This is the first female lead!
He's already a little tempted.
What should he do next?
In the past few days of contact, isn't the second female lead, Xia Mu Zhu, also quite nice?
She's also beautiful, gentle, pretty, and kind. She's also rich, and she has an advantage that Tang Mantou can never compete with in her lifetime.
What should he do?
Should he make her his girlfriend too?
And the third female lead, whose name is not yet known.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.
She's also very beautiful and poised, and judging by the car she drives, she's definitely wealthier than Xia Mu Zhu.
Why not make her my girlfriend too?
And the fourth female lead, who is likely underage, a cute Lolita.
If I remember correctly, she's the most beautiful among the four female leads. Although she's young, her outstanding beauty can't be covered up by her age.
Instead of saying it's covered up, it's more like her forbidden age adds a different kind of charm...
Such a beautiful girl, wouldn't it be a pity not to make her my girlfriend?
Since the first three have become my girlfriends, one more won't make a difference!
Then I can just become the male protagonist in the original work, perfectly replicating the last page of the erotic manga's ending.
Wrong!
As the saying goes, becoming bad doubles your power!
As the owner of the pure love forum, equivalent to the leader of the righteous path, the commander of the Five Mountains, I definitely can't be on the same level as the original protagonist after turning bad.
Isn't Tang Mantou's mother quite familiar to me?
Make her my girlfriend!
The fourth female lead is young and so beautiful, her mother must still be attractive!
Make her my girlfriend too!
Later, I'll see if these female leads have any sisters, younger sisters, aunts, and the like. As long as they look good, they can all become my girlfriends.
Just make a big mixed pot!
Isn't it beautiful?
Screw you!
Lin Yu slapped his forehead heavily, feeling that if he really did such a thing, the forum members would surely tear through the dimensional wall, come to him, and eat him alive.
He sighed heavily and stood up.
Actually, apart from these ridiculous fantasies.
From a realistic perspective, he shouldn't have any thoughts of falling in love with Tang Mantou.
His expectation for love has always been one thing.
That is to have a love affair with no end.
From the beginning of love to the end of life, the person by his side should only be one person.
Will this person be Tang Mantou?
Lin Yu doesn't think so.
Not to mention other things, just the current grades.
His last monthly test barely ranked in the upper-middle level in school, what's Tang Mantou's ranking?
Seems to be in the top five, right?
Such grades are bound to make her go to a key school for further study in the future, having a completely different life from now.
And him, even with the bonus of the memory of studying in his previous life, he can probably only get into a first-tier university at most.
So even if he confirms a romantic relationship with Tang Mantou now, what's the point?
Break up after high school graduation?
Or maintain a long-distance relationship?
Long-distance relationships are too exhausting.
And it's a great test for both sides.
Moreover, what exactly are Tang Mantou's feelings for him right now?
Is it real liking?
Or a different kind of gratitude?
Or an emotion that even she can't explain clearly?
Lin Yu doesn't want to give his feelings away under so many uncertainties.
Not to mention the existence of that eerie fate.
And didn't she say herself that she doesn't like him?
So, for Tang Mantou, Lin Yu thinks it's better to keep a respectful distance...
...
No.
Lin Yu flicked off the cigarette ash, and after taking the last puff, he flicked the cigarette butt into the iron trash can next to the bench with his middle finger bent.
Watching the cigarette butt spinning in the air, drawing a beautiful arc, Lin Yu became more certain of his thoughts.
It's more appropriate to cleanly sever this relationship with Tang Mantou, which is destined to have no ending.
"Dong."
The cigarette butt hit the thin iron skin of the trash can and quickly fell to the ground.
"Damn!"
"Didn't make it!"
Lin Yu went over in a huff to pick up the cigarette butt and throw it back into the trash can...
...
"Can you or can't you transform!"
"If you can't, I'll find someone else to do it!
Lin Yu shouted angrily, slapping the armrest of the chair, ready to get up and leave.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Brother Long."
"I, I just thought of something happy."
Gu Yue covered her mouth, laughing so hard she couldn't straighten her waist.
"Bullshit!"
"You're clearly laughing at me, you never stopped!"
Lin Yu couldn't stand it, he pulled off the clip on his head, re-covered the left half of his face with his long loose yellow hair, and left in a huff.
