My skill tree increases every day.

"Great opportunity!" People don't feel tired when they're doing bad things. Li Si was in that state right now, extremely excited. "Just give her the big one!"

"At times like this, if you just throw in some cheesy, cheesy pickup lines, no woman can stand it! I guarantee she'll be so disgusted by your sleazy attitude that she won't be able to eat!"

"Prime Minister, what should I say?"

Lin Yu felt that Li Si's words made some sense, so he quickly asked her about it.

"Just say you're chatting with a beautiful girl, and then when she asks you about it, send her a screenshot of your chat!"

As Li Si spoke, he couldn't help but recall the time when he joined a club and met a classmate.

The conversation went fairly smoothly at first.

But ever since he said that on WeChat that day, that classmate has never paid any attention to Li Si again. When Li Si sent her a message a few days later, she only received a red exclamation mark.

Later, when Li Si reviewed the situation privately, he concluded that the problem lay in that sentence; the other party must have deleted it immediately after seeing it!

Now, Li Si has chosen to selflessly pass on this move to Lin Yu.

Take this, it's my last plan! I'm determined to stay single forever!

"That makes sense!" Lin Yu understood immediately and then edited a message and sent it to Chen Shuyan.

"I'm chatting with a beautiful girl."

"Okay, now we just need to wait for her reply!" Li Si said confidently. "Just you wait, this greasy talk will definitely make her throw up her dinner from last night!"

A minute passed.

The chat interface shows that the other party is typing a few words.

Three minutes have passed.

The small text above the chat box has quietly disappeared.

Five minutes passed.

Lin Yu felt a soreness in his back and his hands were ice cold.

Something is wrong!

Lin Yu sensed that something was wrong.

In QQ's chat interface, if the recipient is in the chat interface when receiving a message, the sender will see a "typing" indicator, which means that Chen Shuyan has seen the message but has not yet replied.

"Prime Minister, this isn't right! She clearly saw it, why didn't she reply?"

"It's fine, isn't this perfect? ​​If she doesn't reply, you can just ignore her from now on, right?"

Li Si looked smug, already envisioning Lin Yu's future of being single for life and his regret for what happened today.

No, no, no! Chen Shuyan is not like ordinary girls!

Treating Chen Shuyan, who has yandere tendencies, in this way will most likely not result in her leaving out of boredom, but rather will cause her to have a moment of irrationality and do something illegal or disorderly!

Chen Shuyan is still young; we can't let her go down the path of breaking the law!

"What are you doing! Ouch!" This was Li Si's unwilling cry of pain.

Desperate to survive, Lin Yu sent Chen Shuyan a screenshot of their chat, along with the caption: "The beauty suddenly stopped chatting with me."

"So, you don't even want to date her!" Li Si snapped, getting a little impatient. "Are you kidding me?!"

"Hey! I'm back!" Liu Yiyuan pointed at his phone, interrupting Li Si.

Chen Shuyan: (⁄⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄⁄)

Li Si squeezed to the front, her mouth agape, the words "See, she definitely threw up" stuck in her throat, abruptly changing direction: "...Huh?"

"No, why should I?" Li Si broke down.

Li Si, her worldview shattered, slumped in her chair: "Why? She actually believed that kind of nonsense? Shouldn't she have blocked you right now?"

"Get out of here, you piece of trash! Watch me now!" Liu Yiyuan pushed past Li Si and took the starting position.

"Corny pickup lines are too reliant on modeling; having Lao Lin use them will definitely produce outstanding results!" Substitute Liu Yiyuan gave the following instructions: "Lao Lin, girls these days hate being lectured. Now I need you to deliver an unparalleled, fatherly lecture!"

"Coach, I want to be your dad!" Lin Yu said to Liu Yiyuan with his most sincere words.

"You unfilial son who disregards human ethics! And I've already taught you all this!"

Liu Yiyuan clutched his chest, feigning deep regret, but then cleared his throat, adopting an "expert" demeanor. "Getting back to the point! In short, you need to project that condescending, self-important tone, making her think you're an incorrigible, mediocre guy!"

Looking at the shy emoji Chen Shuyan sent on his phone screen, Lin Yu felt that all his "tactics" were like paper walls in front of her.

"Specifically... how should I put it?"

Liu Yiyuan stroked his chin, his eyes darting around quickly: "I've got it! Just ask her what she's been up to lately, and no matter what she says, just find fault with it! Then advise her to study hard or something!"

"This...this sounds like I'm asking for trouble." Lin Yu's lips twitched.

"You don't understand!" Liu Yiyuan slapped his thigh. "That's exactly the effect I wanted! Putting on such airs while acting like you have no official position whatsoever—nobody likes that! This way, people will naturally think you've bowed down!"

Urged on by Liu Yiyuan's insistence that "trust me, you won't go wrong," Lin Yu reluctantly typed in the message.

Lin Yu: What are you doing?

Chen Shuyan: I was just reading a book.

Lin Yu: Speaking of reading, I think I should recommend something to you. For example, something like "Das Kapital" can greatly improve your perspective and critical thinking skills, which will be very beneficial for your future development!

The message was sent, and the dormitory fell silent. Three people, six eyes, were glued to the screen.

Li Si broke the silence first: "Old Lin, the way you're saying makes me want to punch you."

Liu Zhiyuan: "Pureblood Jiahao".

Liu Yiyuan, however, said smugly, "How about it? This flavor is strong enough, isn't it? I guarantee it will make her frown and feel like talking to you is a waste of her life."

The other party is typing...

One second, two seconds...

Chen Shuyan's reply popped up:

Chen Shuyan: Wow! Lin Yu, I didn't expect you to be interested in these things!

Chen Shuyan: I'm quite interested in these things too, so we can discuss them together~(〃'▽'〃)

Chen Shuyan sent a photo of a bookshelf, on which was prominently displayed "Das Kapital," along with many other large and famous works.

Compared to the dusty books on the four-person bookshelf in this dormitory room, which will likely remain brand new even after four years of university, the books in this photo have worn spines, suggesting they have indeed been read carefully.

"..."

A deeper silence fell over the dormitory.

Liu Yiyuan's smug expression froze completely, then slowly crumbled. He mechanically turned his head and saw Lin Yu, who was also petrified, and Li Si, who had slid off her chair laughing and was now pounding the ground, unable to get up.

"No...this isn't scientific..." Liu Yiyuan muttered to himself, "This reaction is wrong! Why would anyone actually look at these things? This isn't scientific!"
