Honkai Impact, please stop imagining it.

Mei casually said, swinging her leg, "He still dreams of not taking his medicine; that's just wishful thinking."

"I think my good brother must have his reasons for not taking his medicine."

Kevin, true to his word, saw right through her and wisely retorted.

"His reason is that he finds it troublesome. Humph, he will only feel regret when death is right next to him, and only then will he understand the weight of life."

Mei took another bite of bread. "I can see right through what a boy like him is thinking. He's just like a little kid. Who would like that?"

Kevin: "We're the Big Three, I won't let you talk about my good brother like that."

Mei finished her bread. "Boys' friendships are like candles in the wind, easily broken."

Lin Yu was so busy interacting with Kevin and Su yesterday, and he even said those things to her this morning, which made Mei feel a little jealous.

But I felt like I was being left behind. It was only natural for the three of them to stay together, and I would just be a third wheel if I went in. This was not the outcome I wanted.

"These kinds of words aren't said in school. Student days are the most innocent time for ordinary people, with no vested interests involved. The friends and brothers you make here are the real brothers."

"The friendship between boys is not like a candle flickering in the wind; it's something you'd risk your life to protect. You'll never know what it feels like to have a good friend."

Kevin, who had been sitting hunched over, slowly straightened up. He stopped kneading the leaves in his hands out of boredom and threw the crumpled leaves on the ground. Kevin spoke seriously.

Mei: "......Tch, of course I don't understand."

Mei couldn't understand why so many people thought she should be paired with Lin Yu, while Lin Yu didn't have any other feelings for her. He didn't show any affection for her beyond friendship.

Although Mei originally had no feelings for Lin Yu, only guilt, under the hints of so many people, Mei also felt that Lin Yu should confess to her.

Unfortunately, after observing him carefully for so long, apart from noticing some of Lin Yu's strengths and weaknesses, he didn't show any sign of liking her.

Even if Mei gave any hints, it was useless; Lin Yu was like a block of wood.

With just a glance from Kevin or Su, Lin Yu knew what they were up to. Then, with a sly grin, they would either cause trouble or help, their cards already laid bare before Lin Yu's eyes, yet Lin Yu couldn't even see them.

Until yesterday afternoon's concert, Mei's expectations for Lin Yu turned into disappointment. She didn't care anymore; as long as she took good care of him, love was none of her business.

Research is what I should be doing. My future lies in the stars and the sea, in scientific achievements representing the pinnacle of human intelligence, not in so-called romance.

"Lin Yu didn't confess to you because he was in poor health and felt he didn't have much time left to live. He didn't want to hold you back, that's why he didn't."

"I don't know. How would I know if he didn't tell me?"

Mei answered with utmost calmness, as if she were telling someone else's story.

Kevin: "Now that I've said it, you should know, right?"

Mei: "This kind of forced idea of ​​not confessing because of one's own body is a form of oppression imposed on oneself. The more he does this, the more I think he is cowardly. Yes, he pretends to be strong, but he is actually incredibly cowardly. He doesn't even dare to confess, although I certainly wouldn't agree to it."

"Damn it, you don't even agree with him, yet you still want to confess to him?"

Kevin almost broke through the defense.

Mei glanced casually to the side and said, "We're students now, so we should focus on our studies."

Anyway, he doesn't have any female friends, so in the end he'll just end up in my hands.

Saying they wouldn't agree is all a lie. Lin Yu has no female friends, and Mei has no male friends. If Lin Yu confessed to Mei, Mei's mother would throw a huge banquet to celebrate their engagement.

If you neither agree nor refuse, you will eventually just go with the flow and acquiesce.

Kevin stared intently at the utterly calm Mei for a long time, then turned and left without saying a word.

Kevin didn't want to say anything like "you'll regret it," as it sounded like a joke. Even if he praised him, Kevin, as his good friend, knew that Lin Yu was just an ordinary teenager with only the negative trait of being sickly, aside from being handsome.

The idea that the two of them should be a couple is just my own delusion; all that sweet romance is fake.

In Kevin's eyes, Mei's words were a complete disrespect to his brother, since brothers know what kind of people they are.

My brother's grades are bad, his health is bad, besides that house worth over two million, his millions in savings, his good looks, his strength and gentleness, what else does he have? What is he anyway?

And Mei? She was already participating in her mentor's research project at the age of seventeen, and her grades at school, while not perfect, were top-notch.

Her family was also better off than Lin Yu's, whose parents had both passed away.

Disagreeing with the confession means she doesn't like Lin Yu. If she doesn't like him, why is she stringing him along? What a wicked woman!

Kevin was furious that his naive best friend had been deceived.

When Lin Yu comes back, I must take him to exercise, let him meet more pretty girls, and take him to bars and KTVs to have a blast.

.......

"Don't provoke me, Su. I'm telling you, it's not that I'm afraid to strike up a conversation, it's just that I can't find any cute girls."

Su put on a mocking look and put her arm around Lin Yu's shoulder, "Oh, you're putting on an act now. You're afraid Mei won't know, aren't you? Don't worry, I won't tell Mei."

Lin Yu: "Afraid of Mei? What's my relationship with Mei? We're just ordinary friends. To be honest, haven't you noticed that I've been avoiding her? Mei is a bad woman."

She'll have blood on her hands, kill countless people, and become the coldest researcher in the world. Both the Stigmata Project and the Fusion Warrior Project have resulted in the deaths of countless people.

Moreover, she is cold-blooded and ruthless, even putting Kevin, who likes her, on the operating table for experiments, even though the success rate before Kevin was zero percent.

Lin Yu liked this kind of girl, and he wished he could stay away from her. He only went to her house often because of Aunt Chun.

Lin Yu spent several times more time with Kevin than with Mei.

"Oh, you're putting on an act again. I'll tell Kevin right now that you said Mei is a bad woman, and then I'll have Kevin tell Mei what you think will happen."

Lin Yu: "...Would you feel better if I apologized?"

Then forget it. Mei is petty. What if she gets angry and won't let me eat Aunt Chun's food at her house?

Standing on the edge of the commercial street in Canghai City, Su waved his hand and said, "If you go and chat up a girl now, I'll believe you're really brave."

Lin Yu: "......."

His heart was racing. Okay, he was really a coward, but seeing Su's arrogant expression that was about to burst out laughing, Lin Yu swallowed hard, took a deep breath, and his gaze fell on a girl with long, dark hair...

Su: "No way, you're really going to do it? I was just kidding."

Lin Yu patted Su on the shoulder and walked towards the girl with the long black braid. "I told you, I'm super brave."

That's a flower.

Chapter 19 Mei is a bad woman!

In the end, without harming Su, Lin Yu watched as Hua took a tourist brochure, got into a taxi, and left without a second thought. She didn't even realize that a very handsome young man in ancient costume had just been about to strike up a conversation with her...

Lin Yu: "......"

I'm discouraged.

Su: "You're still better suited to being a girl. Stop hitting on me. I give up."

Lin Yu: "But I really wanted to go up and ask for their contact information."

Su put her arm around Lin Yu's shoulder and walked towards the other side of the commercial street. "Never mind, let's book a hotel first."

Hua has already gone far away. Lin Yu is helpless; there's nothing he can do now.

Lin Yu patted Su on the back, "You'll never know what we missed today."

"A beautiful girl?"

Lin Yu: "A woman who will own an airport in the future."

"Masaka, could it be that she's a rich woman?"

Su stared wide-eyed; the girl didn't look like it at all.

They looked more like students traveling alone.

Come to think of it, it's not holiday time yet.

"She's destined to be known as a celestial being of China in the future."

Let's get to know her a little. She's the class monitor of St. Freya Academy, Hua, the Immortal Red Iris, the guardian of the Divine Land, and the invincible big sister.

When booking the hotel, Lin Yu took out his ID card and then looked at Su.

Su scratched his head and looked up at the sky.

Lin Yu was shocked. "Didn't you bring your ID with you when you went out?"

"Nonsense, I was originally planning to go to school. If Kevin hadn't called and told me to go to the hospital to find you, I would be living my ordinary life at the academy now, instead of coming to Canghai City to book a room with you."

"Why didn't you tell me beforehand? Are you an idiot? What are we going to do now that we only have one ID card?"

"You idiot, you want a business class room? I told you I'm keeping an eye on you. Isn't it incredibly lucky that you didn't bring your ID?"

Su shrugged and said sincerely.

Lin Yu: "Do you dare to open your eyes and speak?"

A hashtag appeared above Su's head. "I've already opened my eyes as wide as they can. Playing around is fine, but don't joke about my eyes."

While Su and Lin Yu were hurling insults at each other, the front desk booked a suite. It would be too awkward for two old men to share a room, so a suite would be better, even though it was a bit expensive, but Lin Yu and Su didn't care about the cost.

Pay, go upstairs, order takeout—all in one smooth motion.

Lin Yu also ordered two bottles of beer.

When the food and beer arrived, the two of them had already been sitting on the sofa watching TV for quite some time.

"Are you sure you can handle drinking beer?"

Su moved Lin Yu aside. He knew Lin Yu couldn't drink right now, but he also knew that as a brother, what he should do now was not to persuade him not to drink, but to persuade him to drink less.

Lin Yu: "You could drink me to death, but I wouldn't. The me now is fundamentally different from the me two days ago."

Lin Yu exuded an air of domineering confidence, flicked the tuft of hair on his head, and smiled.

"What's the difference?"

"I've taken the sword."

"What kind of boost can a sword give you? Make you drink even harder? Don't be ridiculous. You can drink your whole life and the rest will be mine."

Su poured Lin Yu a glass of beer, and then chugged down the rest.

Lin Yu scorned Su and waved his hand, "Don't be fooled by my weakness. In reality, even a hundred of you couldn't beat me right now."

Su: "Le, keep playing."
