I'm a sophomore in college, what the heck is this "male god cultivation system"?

Chapter 122 The Allure of the Toilet

Wu You was very interested in these sneakers. After all, they were something he had been longing for, and now that they had suddenly appeared in front of him, he was bound to be tempted.

But this thought only lasted for less than three seconds before being suppressed by reason.

"Shuhe." Wu You closed the lid, handed the box back to Shuhe, and shook his head, saying, "This gift is too precious, I can't accept it. I'm already very happy that you came today."

"Don't you like these shoes?" Shu He looked at Wu You and asked softly.

“I really like them.” Wu You nodded, paused for a moment, and then said, “But these shoes are too precious to me. I really can’t accept this gift.”

'It's that same old story again. It's always the same. When it comes to things they like, they're always hesitant and indecisive.' A wave of frustration washed over Shu He. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh.

For some reason, she recently found that she lacked a warm feeling when she was with Wu You.

The atmosphere when they were together was like two slow-paced people meeting in a fast-paced world. It was different from other people's love stories, but it made them feel warm and comfortable.

But recently, Shuhe found that when she was with Wu You, not only did she lose that feeling, but Wu You's characteristics became more and more obvious in her eyes.

Especially given the other person's hesitant personality, even though she can clearly sense that she likes him, she never dares to speak up. In their interactions, she always has to take the initiative first before he will follow suit.

In love, it's good to always have a response; but if the other person always has to take the first step, no matter how good the relationship is, they will eventually have their own thoughts.

Shu He suddenly realized that she didn't seem to like Wu You as much anymore.

She had originally planned to take the opportunity of giving a gift today to confess her feelings. But the moment she saw Wu You, especially after he rejected her gift, that impulse to confess vanished instantly.

Shu He even suspected that if Wu You had confessed his feelings to her today, she might not have agreed to it immediately.

'No, I feel very comfortable when I'm with Wu You. I like him.' Shu He pursed her lips, forcing herself to think this way, and looked at Wu You with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

'Wu You, I've taken the initiative so many times, please take the initiative this time... As long as you confess your feelings to me, I will definitely say yes immediately and without hesitation.'

……

Based on his understanding of Shu He's personality, and considering the previous dream, Wu You thought that what followed would be a series of "three refusals and three concessions," with Shu He eventually being persuaded by him, taking back the gift, and then losing control of her emotions to confess her feelings to him.

Wu You had no expectations for this "three refusals and three concessions" situation; he never intended to accept the sneakers in the first place.

These shoes are too expensive, costing over three thousand yuan... For an ordinary family like his and Shuhe's, shoes at this price are not suitable.

But Wu You was really looking forward to the confession, and her body was even trembling slightly with excitement.

'Shuhe, I will definitely say yes without hesitation. We will be the perfect couple.'

However, to Wu You's surprise, after his first refusal, Shu He did not insist, but simply calmly put away the shoebox.

"I'll leave it here for now, and I'll take it back after I finish queuing."

"Okay, you can put it here for now." Wu You nodded, and seeing that Shu He had no further reaction, he felt a strange sense of "having a lot of strength but nowhere to use it".

It's like watching an action video, finally getting through the foreplay, and just when you're waiting for the real action between the male and female leads, your phone suddenly shuts down because it ran out of battery.

"Shu He." Wu You hesitated for a moment, then decided to test the waters a little. "Is there something you want to tell me?"

"If I have anything to say, I'll tell you." Shu He shook her head and said softly, "What about you?"

"Huh?" Wu You was taken aback.

"Tell me, is there anything you want to say to me?" Shu He decided to give Wu You another chance. "Today is your birthday. Is there anything you want? I'll try my best to fulfill it."

'Is she hinting at something?' Wu You felt a stirring in her heart, and the words of confession were about to spill from her lips, but...

'Shuhe has always been a bit reserved. Could it be that she just wanted to give me a different gift because I didn't accept it, and she doesn't actually want to be with me? If I confess my feelings, will we even be able to stay friends?'

Perhaps because she was used to being "timid" in relationships, as soon as this thought came to mind, she blurted out a rejection: "No, with you here, I'm already very satisfied with my birthday."

"Okay, I understand." Shu He nodded. "I'll go sit on the sofa for a while. Call me if you need anything."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the sofa.

For some reason, looking at Shu He's resolute back, Wu You suddenly felt as if he had lost something precious forever.

"It must just be my imagination. I was too excited last night and didn't sleep well."

……

Around nine o'clock in the morning, people gradually arrived.

Chen Yan and Tian Jingyi prepared a gift together. Since Tian Jingyi prepared the gift for Han Su's birthday last time, Chen Yan naturally prepared it this time.

Chen Yan gave Wu You a fountain pen as a gift. It cost a little over two hundred yuan, which was just right for their acquaintance, but not a particularly close relationship.

There were quite a few people present today: Han Su and her boyfriend, Chen Yan and Tian Jingyi, Wu You's three roommates, plus the boyfriend of one of his roommates, making a total of ten people, six men and four women.

By the time everyone had arrived, it was already noon, just in time for lunch.

Lunch was provided by the party venue, and the food was good. The overall atmosphere was also quite nice... Throughout the meal, Wu You tried to liven up the atmosphere, as this was one of his duties as the main character of the party.

It was obvious that he wasn't good at these kinds of situations, especially with two completely unfamiliar social circles present. Wu You kept trying to liven things up, but often the conversation would start on one side and then fall silent on the other.

In the end, Han Su couldn't stand it anymore and quietly helped him out, which gave the two social circles a common topic.

It just goes to show that having someone who creates a lively atmosphere is quite important in these kinds of large parties. Even though Wu You was clearly the star of the party, in the end, Han Su was the MVP, while Wu You was just an easy win.

After the meal, Han Su again created a lively atmosphere. During the meal, she successfully struck up a conversation with the only unfamiliar woman present and then pulled Tian Jingyi and Shu He to a room on the third floor to chat.

"You six boys are playing games, so let's girls share some little secrets."

Things became easier after that. Wu You led the other five people to the e-sports booth... Although the six of them couldn't play five-player matches, they could form two teams of three. Chen Yan was assigned to a team with Wu You and another boy from his dorm.

At first, Chen Yan was thinking of playing a couple of games, but after just the first game, he almost had to put on the Pain Mask.

The two teammates in the three-man squad were really bad. If it weren't for the random jungler's amazing playstyle, they would have been crushed in the early game.

Fortunately, Chen Yan's marksman finally came into full play in the late game, and he won the match after dealing a lot of damage.

In the next two matches, the random teammates he encountered were not as strong, and Chen Yan was powerless to turn the tide, only able to watch his own crystal explode.

When playing games with friends, Chen Yan focuses on making fun of their friends' silly moves, and doesn't care too much about winning or losing. Even if he loses, he can still laugh it off.

However, he and the other two were clearly not friends; towards the end of the fight, they were mostly silent.

After the third round, Chen Yan stood up and said:

"I drank too much water at noon, I'm going to the toilet. I'll find a room to rest for a while, you guys can play five-player squad together later."

“Oh, okay. Brother Yan, the restroom is on the first floor. Do you want me to take you there?” Wu You said immediately, even offering to lead the way.

"No need, I saw where the toilet was when I came." Chen Yan waved his hand, somewhat puzzled.

A three-story villa with only one toilet? That's a bit too inhumane.

With this thought in mind, Chen Yan went downstairs and was about to go into the restroom when he unexpectedly saw a sign that read "Occupied" hanging in front of the door.

To avoid the possibility that the previous person hadn't turned the sign over after using the restroom, Chen Yan didn't just wait foolishly at the door. Instead, he knocked and asked, "Is anyone home?"

"I'll be done soon," Shu He's voice rang out, accompanied by the sound of a tap being turned on, indicating that she was already washing her hands.

Chen Yan's eyes lit up. He reached out and opened the door, looking at Shu He, who was in a panic, and said with a smile, "Xiao He, actually I think that in order to prevent some people from not looking at the door number, we can lock the toilet door."

"Speak," he said, locking the door behind him. He smiled at Shu He, strode forward, and then pulled her into his arms.

But as soon as he hugged her, Chen Yan immediately noticed something was wrong. This time, Shu He didn't even show the slightest resistance, but obediently and compliantly agreed with him.

'What happened?' Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that Wu Youyou must have made a cowardly move.

Wu You's personality has always been like that. When they are deeply in love, Shu He can ignore these shortcomings, take the initiative to find reasons for Wu You, and even regard these shortcomings as advantages.

But when their feelings for each other are not that deep, these shortcomings can no longer be ignored by Shu He... and they may even be magnified.

Coincidentally, the seventh effect of the [Pure Yang Body] was perfectly utilized because of this environment.

From a certain perspective, Shu He has now completely let go of her obsession with Wu You and has completely become his shape.

……

Fifteen minutes ago.

After the only unfamiliar girl among the four women left the room because of a phone call, the remaining three, who were all acquaintances and had a good relationship, began to have a frank discussion.

After learning that Wu You still hadn't confessed his feelings to Shu He, Han Su, the most straightforward of the four, couldn't hold back any longer.

"No, what is Wu You thinking? You've already taken such the initiative, and he's still hesitating." Han Su complained, "To be honest, he's too cowardly. I think a man should have a certain sense of responsibility."

"I think Xiao He, you should be more careful." Tian Jingyi, unusually, completely sided with Han Su on this topic.

“You’ve taken the initiative so many times, hinted at it so many times, and even gave him such an expensive gift. I don’t believe he’s completely oblivious to your feelings. I feel like he might want to put you in a completely vulnerable position in this relationship so that you can easily manipulate him later.”

Both of her best friends expressed their disapproval, and Shu He knew that although Wu You was just a coward, she no longer vehemently favored Wu You as she had last time. Instead, she nodded and said:
“I know, I’ve been thinking about my relationship with him lately, and I think I shouldn’t be as proactive as before.”

“That’s more like it. I’m not saying we should give up completely, but we can’t be as proactive as before.” Han Su slapped her thigh and said, “Is Xiao He such a socially awkward person? She’s taken the initiative for him so many times. Since he doesn’t realize it, Xiao He, you shouldn’t waste your time.”

Shu He nodded, then suddenly frowned and said, "I'm going to the restroom first. You guys chat."

……

The five-player team didn't bring them good luck; on the contrary, after Chen Yan left, the team's only strong player was gone.

In the next game, Wu You experienced the feeling of being completely crushed. In less than sixteen minutes, his own crystal was destroyed.

After the fight, the five men looked at each other in silence.

For some reason, Wu You also felt the urge to urinate. After taking a deep breath, he said, "I'm going to the toilet first, I'll be right back."

After saying that, he quickly ran towards the toilet. When he got there, he didn't even look at the door and went straight to press the doorknob.

However, the door was not opened.

"Is anyone home?" Wu You asked, looking at the locked door. "Who is it?"

"It's me, Chen Yan." Chen Yan's voice rang out. "I have a bit of diarrhea, so I might have to wait a while longer."

Wu You felt that his urge to urinate wasn't that strong, so he could wait a little longer and said, "Then, Brother Yan, I'll go upstairs and start another game. Call me when you're done."

"it is good."

Just as Wu You was about to turn around and go back, another voice suddenly came from the toilet.

"Wu You, thank you."

Wu You assumed Chen Yan was talking about the toilet and didn't think much of it, replying, "It's nothing, there's no need to thank me."
