My skill tree increases every day.

Chapter 125 can only be sent to me.

The phone screen lit up briefly, and a message from Ruan Yunxian popped up.

Ruan Yunxian: Post it on WeChat Moments?

What does this mean? Could it be that it means—

Ruan Yunxian sent a thinking emoji, and then quickly sent another message.

Ruan Yunxian: Let me see the ones you chose first.

Lin Yu picked out a few of the edited photos and sent them to Ruan Yunxian.

These are all photos of her cosplaying Rikka Takanashi this morning.

Ruan Yunxian remained silent for a while before replying to the message.

Ruan Yunxian: Sure, these pictures are all pretty good. But senior, why did you post them on your WeChat Moments?

Lin Yu: I wanted to promote the fact that we added so many people today, so people can see how good we are.

Lin Yu: You're so pretty, posting your photos makes people think I'm very talented.

Ruan Yunxian: Oh.

After a while, Ruan Yunxian replied with only one word and then fell silent again.

Lin Yu waited a few seconds, unsure whether she agreed or not. Just as he was about to send another message to ask, another message came from her.

Ruan Yunxian: Okay.

Ruan Yunxian: But if you're going to send it, you can only send it to mine!

Lin Yu: Huh? This is a bit like—can I just post a whole new Moments update about you?

Ruan Yunxian: You said it! Once I post something on my Moments, I'm not allowed to post it on anyone else's!

Ruan Yunxian sent another serious face emoji.

Lin Yu: Okay, I'll listen to you.

Ruan Yunxian: Okay, I'll check it when I get back!

Lin Yu: Okay, I'll tag you then.

Lin Yu selected nine photos of Ruan Yunxian, approved them for Ruan Yunxian, and arranged them into a nine-grid layout. He added the caption: "Today's business. Thanks to @RuanYunxian. Friends who want the same makeup and beautiful photos, DM me. I'm taking orders online." Within minutes of posting, the comments section was buzzing with excitement.

Liu Zhiyuan: ? ? ? ?

Li Si: ? ? ? ?

Liu Yiyuan: I think I understand something now.

Liu Zhiyuan: Don't break the formation! You bastard!

Club President Liao Yunfan: These photos are great! When are you going to take a set for the club as well?

Chan Ho-nam: Who did this makeup and styling? It's amazing!

Most of the comments are just random chatter from friends at school, not worth reading carefully.

Lin Yu wanted feedback from his target customers, such as inquiries about prices or scheduling appointments.

Lin Yu was about to check for more client messages when he received a private message from Su Wanqing.

Su Wanqing: Lin Yu!!! You can actually do makeup now???

Lin Yu: When did you start to have the illusion that I couldn't do it?

Lin Yu answered without batting an eye, admitting that he wouldn't act that way when he was with Su Wanqing, but that didn't stop him from acting this way now.

Say.

Anyway, I know how to do it now.

Su Wanqing: Really? You're not lying to me, are you?

Lin Yu: What benefit would I get from lying to you?

Su Wanqing: Could you do my makeup in a few days? I want to have a nice makeup look for the final.

Lin Yu: Don't you know how to do makeup yourself?

Su Wanqing: Oh dear! Don't make fun of me, my skills are nowhere near yours!

Lin Yu thought for a moment and typed back: Okay, but...

Su Wanqing: But?

Lin Yu sent him a screenshot of her WeChat Moments post, specifically circling the words "taking orders online" to highlight them.

Su Wanqing: Okay, okay, I understand the rules!

Then Su Wanqing sent over a "splurging money" emoji.

Su Wanqing: By the way, how's your roommate Liu Yiyuan? Is he too upset about being eliminated?

Lin Yu: Him? He's doing great, he's enjoying his barbecue more than anyone else.

Su Wanqing: That's good.

Su Wanqing: You have to come to the finals! You have to cheer me on!

Lin Yu: I understand, I understand.

Su Wanqing: Don't be late!

Lin Yu: Shouldn't I be the one saying this to you?

Su Wanqing sent an angry emoji and then didn't reply.

Lin Yu put down his phone and continued editing the photos. He'd only edited a few when his phone vibrated again.

This time, the message came from Chen Shuyan.

Chen Shuyan: I saw your post on WeChat Moments.

Chen Shuyan: The photos are really well taken. That girl is so cute.

Lin Yu: Thank you, she's quite photogenic too.

Chen Shuyan: By the way, you said last time that I could visit your hometown during the summer vacation, is that true?

Lin Yu: Of course it's true. You're welcome to come anytime.

Chen Shuyan: So—if I go, will you take pictures of me too?

Lin Yu: Absolutely.

Chen Shuyan: Okay, it's settled then.

Lin Yu: It's settled.

Chen Shuyan returned a smiley face and then didn't say anything more.

Lin Yu stared at the screen for a while, feeling that what she said today was a little different, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

Forget it, I'll stop thinking about it and get back to editing the photos.

He finished editing the remaining photos of Ruan Yunxian, then picked out a few of Su Jiatong's photos, made some simple color adjustments, and sent them to her.

Su Jiatong replied instantly: Wow! Yuta-kun is so efficient!

Su Jiatong: I'll help you promote it right away!

Lin Yu: I remember I saved your contact by my name, right? Why do you always call me Yuta-kun?

Su Jiatong: I'm happy to! What, you have a problem with that?

Lin Yu: Okay, whatever makes you happy.

Su Jiatong: By the way, there's an exhibition in Zhenzhou next door next week. Are you coming? If you're coming, we can go together on Friday.

Lin Yu: Next week? I might not be free next week. A friend of mine is going to participate in a competition, and the time hasn't been set yet, so I can't make arrangements.

Su Jiatong: What competition? Is it Liuhua-chan?

Lin Yu: It wasn't her, it was another friend. It was a competition to select the top ten singers on campus.

Su Jiatong: Wow, your friend is really amazing. Okay then, let's meet up again next time.

Lin Yu: Okay, I'll definitely do it next time.

After chatting, Lin Yu continued his photo editing work for the day.

It was almost 11 o'clock when Lin Yu decided to leave the work for tomorrow.

Lin Yu took a shower, lay on the bed, and checked his phone to see what he had accomplished that day, and also to see if any customers had come to inquire.

I've added over a dozen cosplayers on WeChat, but so far only Su Jiatong is a potential client, and I had to turn her down due to scheduling conflicts.

Well, Su Wanqing could be considered half a customer, I suppose.

Over the next few days, Lin Yu mainly focused on providing Su Wanqing with intensive training in preparation for the finals on Friday night.

Monday evening at 7:30, University Student Activity Center.

When Lin Yu pushed open the door to the music club activity room, Su Wanqing was already there.

She sat by the window with a sheet of music spread out in front of her, humming something and tapping her fingers lightly on the table to create a rhythm.

"I wasn't late today." Lin Yu put down his bag.

Su Wanqing looked up and glared at him: "When have I ever been late?"

"Last time."

"That was an accident."

"Was the one before that also an accident?"

Enraged, Su Wanqing rolled up the sheet music as if to hit him, but Lin Yu dodged it with a smile.

"Alright, alright, let's begin." He moved a chair and sat down opposite her. "Sing it once first, let me hear it."

Su Wanqing cleared her throat and stood up. She had chosen the same song for the finals again—Lin Yu had thought it went well after she sang it on stage last time and suggested she continue with it.

Do you need accompaniment?

Sing it a cappella, so it'll be clearer.
